297 I really don’t dare

 The democratic representative system in Johannesburg is just an attempt. The universal democratic representative system in the Transvaal and Orange will not be implemented until after Ade leaves office. So now Ade is in an embarrassing situation. It seems that everyone is looking forward to it.

With Ade resigning.

Rock doesn't think so.

In fact, Roque really wanted Ade to stay. After the implementation of democratic representative systems in the Transvaal and Orange, the integration of the four colonies in southern Africa has become unstoppable. By then, only Ade will be the most qualified to become the Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa.

.

The first Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa in another time and space was Louis Botha. Louis Botha was capable, but not enough to convince the public. The British community in the Union of South Africa could not accept being ruled by a Boer. As a result, the Union of South Africa

After its establishment, a large number of British South Africans returned to their homeland, which had a certain impact on the Union of South Africa.

Louis Botha's approach to ethnic issues is also open to question. The Union of South Africa is a multi-ethnic country. Louis Botha was influenced by the tough Jan Smuts, and his attitude towards "minorities" was simple and rough. The Union of South Africa at that time

There are already 150,000 Indians and nearly 2 million Zulus. The total white population is only about 600,000. Louis Botha's attitude towards "minorities" laid the foundation for the future South African Union.

In southern Africa during this era, the situation was more complicated. In another time and space, the Boers won the elections in the Transvaal and Orange, so the South African Union was formed with the Boers as the main body.

The Chinese in this time and space have replaced the Boers in the Transvaal. Coupled with the attitudes of Nyasaland and Rhodesia, the future Federation of South Africa will definitely be dominated by British people. By then Louis Botha will

It is impossible to serve as prime minister again. Ade is the most suitable candidate for prime minister.

If, like another time and space, Ade leaves South Africa and returns to his homeland directly after leaving office, then Roque will have no choice but to force Philip to be the prime minister.

Considering the power of the Matilda family, Philip will encounter huge resistance as prime minister. Everyone in southern Africa, including London, is probably unwilling to have a huge family appear in southern Africa. The current situation in Johannesburg has caused some people to worry.

Be careful, if Philip becomes prime minister again, the Union of South Africa can change its name to Matilda.

Ade's biggest advantage is that he has no children, so no one will worry that Ade's family will become the dominant one. This is a situation that everyone is happy to accept.

A huge hidden danger is that London may not want to see a united southern Africa, so Louis Botha can become prime minister in another time and space. In this time and space, it is not so easy for Ade to stay. The British government would rather keep Ade.

If he is transferred back to his hometown and idles, I am afraid that Ade will not be allowed to stay in South Africa.

Rock expressed to Adelaide his concerns about the future implementation of democratic representative systems in the Transvaal and Orange, hoping that Adelaide would be aware of this problem and take the initiative to stay.

"Locke, no matter what the future holds, it is Southern Africa's own choice. You should have confidence in Southern Africa." Ade, in turn, did Rock's ideological work and did not seem to agree with Rock's worries.

Rock could only smile bitterly. In front of Ade, Rock could not say that he was not confident.

But speaking from the bottom of his heart, Rock does not have confidence in the future of Southern Africa. Even though Southern Africa in this time and space has hundreds of thousands more Chinese than Southern Africa in another time and space, Rock still has no confidence.

There is no way, there are too many pig teammates that are holding them back. The Zulus are already a headache. Add in the Boers who are not enterprising, and this is almost a hellish difficulty.

"You may not know that it is because of you that I believe that southern Africa will get better and better in the future. The situation in Nyasaland and Rhodesia is very good, and the Transvaal is getting better and better. In addition,

Cape, Southern Africa will be very promising in the future." Ade's greatest confidence comes from Roque, and Roque is indeed the biggest variable in this era, but Roque alone cannot really drag down Southern Africa.

"But there are also Natal and Orange, as well as Basutoland, Bechuanaland, and Swaziland. These areas will become a burden on southern Africa, and southern Africa will be unable to move forward because of these areas."

Germany is so optimistic. Basutoland, Bechuanaland, and Swaziland are all British protectorates. If a unified southern Africa is to be established, these protectorates must be included in southern Africa. This is what Jean Roque

The most worrying thing.

Basutoland is the future Lesotho, the Bechuanaland protectorate is Botswana, and Swaziland once gained independent status, but Swaziland took the initiative to request to become a British protectorate, so the British government will not give up these

region.

As far as the virtue of the British government is concerned, it will pack up all these areas and give them to the Union of South Africa. Then the Union of South Africa will become a hodgepodge, dragged into the abyss by endless internal friction.

"Locke, you are too pessimistic. The human resources of Basutoland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland are much needed in southern Africa. The Boers of Natal and Orange will keep the white people in southern Africa."

Demographic advantage, so these are not problems." Adelaide still cannot get rid of the shackles of habitual thinking. When talking about advantages, he seems to have forgotten that Roque is not white.

"It does seem like advantages in the short term, but if we take a long-term view, these current advantages will turn into disadvantages and be infinitely magnified." Roque was still too hasty, and his words were a bit rude, as if he was saying...

Virtue’s vision is not far-sighted enough.

So Ade was very unhappy, and then Roque was kicked out of the Governor's Mansion without even having lunch.

Fortunately, there was Henry's house where he could eat. On the way to Henry's house, Rock noticed that there were propaganda points for several political parties along the way, not only the Liberal Party, the National Party and the Socialist Party, but even Louis Botha and Yang Shi.

The People's Party founded by Mozi carried out propaganda in Pretoria.

Among all political parties, the Liberal Party still has the greatest advantage. However, unlike Johannesburg, which dominates the sky with one hand, the Liberal Party’s advantage in Pretoria is not obvious. Fortunately, other political parties have effectively divided the votes, and the Transvaal has implemented a democratic representative system.

, the Liberal Party still had no problem winning the election.

Compared with Johannesburg, Pretoria's municipal construction is not inferior. Compared with Pretoria during the Transvaal Republic, the area of ​​Pretoria today is actually slightly smaller, and its population is not that of Johannesburg.

Many, Ade simply converted some abandoned residential areas into parks. The roads in the city are also very wide. The police station patrolling the city actually uses motorcycles, which surprised Rock a little.

If Roque still serves as the police chief of Johannesburg, it is estimated that the police patrols in Johannesburg will now use motorcycles. Harry Spencer's attitude towards work is a bit negative and does not pay attention to the hardware facilities of the police station. Roque is not there now.

If you are not in charge of your own affairs, you have no say in this issue.

The one-and-a-half-year-old Paula was already able to run around. When she met Roark, she was obviously a little unfamiliar with her godfather. The baby fat on the little guy's face was obvious, and her big light blue eyes looked at Roark without blinking.

Facing Rock's outstretched hands, Paula put her hands behind her back, twisted her fingers into twists, and her body's resistance was obvious.

"Hahahaha, baby, don't pay attention to this guy, he is a very annoying person." Henry was very happy to see Roque deflated, and he threw Paula into the sky.

Paula likes this game very much. The way she laughs is not ladylike at all. Lacey will probably be very unhappy if she sees it.

"You can't educate Paula like this, it will create a gap between Paula and me. I am Paula's godfather. If you do this again, I will let Paula believe in Taoism when she grows up." Rock was very envious of Arthur.

Both Gavin and Roark are boys, but Rock actually likes girls.

Fortunately, there is still a chance!

"Haha, don't even think about it. I'm not Gavin's godfather yet. If you dare to let Paula believe in your Taoism, I will dare to send Gavin to be an ascetic monk!" Henry showed no sign of weakness. Ascetic monks suffer much more than Taoists.

Yes, Taoists can get married and have children, while ascetics are almost like monks.

"Hahahaha, Phyllis will scratch your face——" Roark is not afraid of this kind of threat. Gavin is Phyllis's heart. If Henry dares to bully Gavin——

Henry probably wouldn't dare, otherwise Roark would ask Gavin to get a haircut in the first month.

No, Henry probably doesn’t understand this idea.

"Okay, gentlemen, dinner is ready -" Lacey finally came out to pick up Paula. Paula lay on Lacey's shoulder and secretly looked at Rock.

Rock made a face at Paula, who immediately buried her face in Lacey's neck shyly.

At the dinner table, Rock and Henry also talked about Adam Stephen. At this time, Rock and Henry's judgments were very consistent. Adam Stephen looked like he was murdered, or killed to scare the monkey, or he deserved it.

, it can’t be suicide anyway.

"Fortunately, you are not the police chief now, otherwise you would be troubled." Henry could only be glad that this kind of thing did not happen in Pretoria.

No matter how the Johannesburg Police Department proves it, anyone who knows the specific circumstances knows that Adam Stephen committed suicide.

This is almost humiliating for the police. They know that someone has violated the law and committed a crime, but they are unable to hold them accountable or even conduct an investigation. In the next period of time, the police in Johannesburg will probably be too embarrassed to wear uniforms when they go out. It is really a bit embarrassing.
"You are the boss of all the police in the Transvaal. Don't you have any ideas?" Rock mocked Henry mercilessly.

The Johannesburg Police Department is controlled by the Pretoria Police Department, so Roque is right, Henry should indeed have some ideas.

"Sorry, I have no idea at all." Henry was not ashamed. No one would dare to pursue this kind of thing even in his hometown.
