On October 27th, Young Smuts quietly left Pretoria for London, Douglas took over as Minister of Education, and Owen parachuted into the University of Nyasaland and became the Chancellor of Nyasaland University. p>
The school superintendent is different from the principal. The school superintendent is more of a symbolic position and is not responsible for actual management. Most of the British school superintendents are held by respected politicians or members of the royal family. Winston once served as Bristol
Chancellor of the university for 36 years.
Philip and Owen are quite satisfied with this arrangement. After all, Owen cannot leave his job in Pretoria and stay in Nyasaland for a long time. What's more, Owen does not understand the operation of the school and has no interest in it.
Understand that this arrangement is a result acceptable to everyone.
Douglas faced many difficulties when he took over the Ministry of Education. The biggest difficulty was department staff. Although two of the six directors of the Ministry of Education also resigned after Yang Smuts resigned, the Ministry of Education still had a large number of vacant positions.
These people are not part of Douglas' plan.
Some data must be mentioned. The salaries of federal government officials are very high. The annual salary of a minister is almost 5,000 rand, that of a deputy minister is 2,000 rand, that of a director is between 1,000 and 1,500 rand, and that of a deputy director is between 600 and 1,000 rand.
During the period, the annual salary of the division chief is RMB 350 to RMB 600, the mid-level staff is around RMB 150, and the lowest-paid female handyman has an annual salary of more than RMB 50.
Corresponding to the salary, the expenses in other areas are higher. The annual expenses for the 185 staff of the Ministry of Education are more than half a million rand. If the money spent can see the results of the work, it is not in vain. However,
The work of the Ministry of Education has been a mess in recent years. The federal government has been established for almost three years and there is not even an overall plan for promoting compulsory education in southern Africa. This makes Douglas, who is used to the simple and efficient style of Nyasaland University, really intolerable.
.
Fortunately, Douglas also had the support of Adelaide. When Adelaide invited Douglas to be the Minister of Education, he promised to unconditionally support Douglas's reform of the Ministry of Education. That's why Douglas accepted Adelaide's invitation, including the three deputy ministers of the Ministry of Education.
, all Douglass must be replaced.
Rock was still very surprised when he learned about Douglas's plan. The Chinese society is a human society, which is indeed different from the jungle society.
"Isn't this normal?" Douglas was even more surprised. Rock's image has always been decisive and decisive, and he does not seem to be affected by other emotions: "We must have a contractual spirit, resign normally in accordance with the contract, and educate
The Ministry will give them due compensation and thank them for their contribution to the Ministry of Education in recent years."
Douglas's last words were really gritted with teeth.
Rock just laughed and said nothing. The jungle society is still acceptable, forget about the spirit of contract.
This spirit of the contract is actually meant for others to listen to. The underlying meaning is that it is best for other people in the world and other countries to abide by the spirit of the contract. Whether I abide by it depends on the situation. For example, the current situation among European countries is
The popular "Mutual Non-Aggression Treaty" is not even believed by the people who signed it. It can be torn up at any time. Its only function is to comfort the heart. After signing, should we go back and prepare for war? Who would expect this?
If you grow something to protect national security, you are a fool.
The most realistic example is the Berlin Conference. The "General Resolution" formed after the Berlin Conference is something that small countries like Portugal and Belgium talk about as a treasure because they rely on this piece of paper to ensure their interests and strength in Africa.
No powerful country has taken this "General Resolution" to heart, otherwise there would not have been so many "Two C Plans", "Two S Plans", and "Teutonic Africa Plans".
So Rock really doesn't believe in the so-called "contract spirit". The more people have nothing, the more they emphasize something, so putting "contract spirit" at the top of the list just shows that there is probably a lack of "contract spirit".
"I'd better assign some security guards to you." Rock is worried about Douglas's safety. The Ministry of Education has a bunch of ** who have lost their rights and status and are counting on the Ministry of Education's work to provide for their retirement. Douglas is going to destroy their jobs now. If they can't pay back,
Someone really broke the jar.
"Thank you very much." Douglas is not stupid. Some people's thinking cannot be measured by normal people's thinking.
"Actually, you can consider setting up a pension department to put all those people in to provide for the elderly. They just take their salary and do nothing." Roque helped with the idea. The Sixth Department under the Ministry of National Defense, which is responsible for the placement of veterans, is used for elderly care.
Department, the real management of veterans is the Second Division in charge of reserves.
"Is there such a department? I want to go too -" Douglas was jealous, but still lacked work experience.
"Your Ministry of Education is originally the elderly care department of the federal government——" Roque accidentally said a bit of a heartbreaking truth.
Douglas's face immediately turned ugly.
"I'm not belittling the role of the Ministry of Education, but the Ministry of Education has not played its real role." Rock explained, and Douglas sighed. The Ministry of Education is indeed a big hole, and there is a long way to go to reverse the situation.
Compared with the Ministry of Education, the Department of Defense also has many problems. The funding problem can be solved with Rock's intervention. Other problems left by Hopkins are equally serious.
It seems that it cannot be said to be a legacy. After all, Hopkins was only hospitalized and is now the Secretary of Defense.
On November 5th, the newly established 101st Division reported that the quality of some materials issued by the Ministry of National Defense was seriously substandard, mainly focusing on blankets, backpacks and other materials purchased from Johannesburg Textile Company.
All textile-related materials such as clothing, tents, blankets, backpacks, etc. used by the military in Southern Africa are purchased from the Johannesburg Textile Company. There have always been no problems with the products provided by the Johannesburg Textile Company. The newly established 101st Division
The soldiers are all Africans, and the officers are white and Chinese. Although this unit, like the newly established 102nd Division, will be sent to Europe as cannon fodder in the future, the Ministry of National Defense will certainly not treat it differently in terms of material supply.
, the salary of those African soldiers is indeed a bit low, and other aspects of treatment are no different from professional soldiers.

If it’s other companies, Roark may not know about it, but Roark must know about the Johannesburg Textile Factory. This company was founded by Roark, but now under Phyllis’s name, its main business is wool spinning and textile processing.
, most of the textile-related materials needed by the military in southern Africa are purchased from Johannesburg Textile Company.
Although the Johannesburg Textile Company was involved, Roque still ordered a thorough investigation. In fact, the investigation was not troublesome. The Ministry of National Defense sent military representatives to the Johannesburg Textile Company. All products purchased by the Ministry of Defense were supervised by military representatives during the production process.
, Ministry of National Defense staff must also inspect the goods when they are delivered, and warehouse managers must sign for them when they are put into storage. If there is a problem in any link, the person responsible can be found. If the person in charge cannot be found, then the person responsible for the logistics materials will be responsible.
Third Division Director Bruce Matthew took the blame.
Looking back, Rock first asked Phyllis to learn about the situation of the Johannesburg Textile Company.
"Everything in the company is normal and running well, but it's not making much money -" Phyllis said about the Johannesburg Textile Company with an obvious guilty conscience.
The Johannesburg Textile Company is indeed running well. With various cheap raw materials provided by the Transvaal, Rhodesia, and Nyasaland, and large purchase orders provided by the Ministry of Defense, the Johannesburg Textile Company has no shortage of profits.
The problem is that the wages paid to workers by the Johannesburg Textile Company are too high. The annual salary of an average worker in Southern Africa is only about fifty rand. The average salary of a worker in the Johannesburg Textile Company is more than one hundred rand. Most of the workers in the textile company are female workers. This is why
As a result, the company has not been making much money.
Fortunately, Rock doesn't care about money, and Phyllis doesn't have much idea about money. Most of the female workers in the Johannesburg Textile Company are Chinese, so Rock just lets Phyllis do whatever she wants without losing money.
"There is a problem with a batch of products purchased by the Ministry of National Defense from the Johannesburg Textile Company. The quality of blankets and backpacks is seriously substandard -" Roque told the truth. If the problem is really the Johannesburg Textile Company, then Roque will definitely be held accountable.<
/p>
This kind of thing is not impossible. Because of the relationship between Rock and Phyllis, even if there is a small problem with the products provided by the Johannesburg Textile Company, it is probably not reflected in Rock. So now it means that the problem is very serious and has already affected
The training work of the troops is therefore reported step by step.
"Impossible, there can be no quality problems with our products." Phyllis flatly denied it.
Rock didn't speak and looked at Phyllis quietly.
"You can't doubt me——" Felice's eyes were red.
"I'm not doubting you. We've been in Nyasaland for the past few years. I guess you don't have time to manage the company. It's normal for problems to arise." Roque absolutely trusts Phyllis, but he doesn't trust anyone else.
"I will go back to Johannesburg right away." Phyllis was decisive. The Johannesburg Textile Company was one of the few industries under Phyllis's name. Phyllis's mentality in running the company was similar to that of charity, so Phyllis would never allow this kind of thing.
occurs.
"No!" Rock refused more decisively, joking, Phyllis went to Johannesburg, who would take Gavin and Alvin?
"Then what should we do?" Phyllis is still soft and cute even when she is angry. After living with Roque for such a long time, Phyllis is also used to not thinking.
"Call Dulles over and ask him what's going on." It's not that Rock doesn't pay attention to it. It's really a matter of priority, and it's not to the extent that human life is at stake.
Dulles is the general manager of the Johannesburg Textile Company.
