Entering the Oak Bar, Sidney Milner, who was stiff and nervous just now, immediately relaxed.
Ade doesn’t know the background of the Oak Bar, but Sidney Milner must know that the top two bars in Southern Africa, the Oak Bar and the Table Mountain Bar, are inextricably linked to Roque and wandering around the streets.
In comparison, a relatively closed environment like a bar can better ensure Ade’s safety.
The Oak Bar is still as lively as ever, with handsome bartenders who are quick and attentive in their service, beautiful bar girls who can wear flowers with ease, and there are always a group of pretentious guys on the round stools in front of the bar, bragging and chatting with their friends.
Those who got up are all in the booths, they are the loyal customers of the bar.
However, the K2 that was common in the past is no longer visible, which fully shows that the security situation in Ziwei City is indeed good.
The British bar culture has a long history. Ade is obviously no stranger to bars, but he is still surprised by the rich variety of cocktails in the Oak Bar. Rock recommends the beer brewed by the Oak Bar. Forget about the cocktails, he is worried about Ade's health.
No.
"When I was young, I could drink a barrel of beer like this!" Ade refused to accept his old age. Only then did he smell the taste and he was the best in the world.
Rock and Sidney Milner looked at each other without saying a word. Not to mention the bravery of a good man, no one knows how much Ade could drink when he was young.
The bartender in the bar must know Roark. When he saw Roark, he didn't even know that the beer was spilling. Roark knocked on the bar in dissatisfaction. The bartender then returned to normal. The manager not far away took a look at the situation here.
I didn’t dare to come over, but then there appeared in the corner many shirtless strong men with kind faces who made everyone smile.
They are either shirtless or only showing their arms. Sometimes they even deliberately leave their chest hair or tattoos unbuttoned, and all of them have the face of a criminal.
Ade didn't notice the changes in the bar. He took a sip of beer and casually complimented the beer.
It's indeed good. The beer at Oak Bar uses the finest malt and is completely hand-brewed. It has become a feature of Oak Bar like various cocktails.
Ade sat directly on the round stool in front of the bar. Rock sat next to Ade. Sidney Milner originally wanted to sit on the other side of Ade, but was forced back by Ade's eyes. The empty stool was
He was quickly robbed, and it turned out to be Frank, who had been promoted to archbishop.
"Paul, give me a Cape Town -" Frank is actually a regular at the bar.
"Can't the archbishop be more reserved in public?" Ade knew Frank, and the status of religion in southern Africa is still very important.
"It's off-duty time now. The Prime Minister can come to the bar to drink, and of course the Archbishop can-" Frank probably saw Ad and Roque just now, and it's already difficult for them to wait until now to get close.
Ade did not welcome Frank, and it was rare for him to come out for a private visit incognito, but was destroyed by Frank.
But looking back, Mayor Jerome of Ziwei City and Police Chief Gao De were both sitting helplessly in the booth next to them. Adé suddenly lost all interest.
"Let's go -" before leaving, Ade rang the bell at the bar as a prank. This meant that everyone was invited to drink, and everyone had a share, so people in the bar immediately cheered.
Although it was Adela who rang the bell, it was Rock who paid for it, and Adela was still unsatisfied when he walked out of the bar.
"When I was young, I went to school in London. At that time, I would often go to bars. What I looked forward to most was someone ringing the bell, so that I could have another drink for free -" Mr. Ade was so crazy that he couldn't do it when he was young.
I still can’t do it now. When I have time, I don’t have the money. When I have the money, I have no interest.
"You could still go to school when you were young, but I didn't even go to school when I was young, so I had to serve God." This is where Frank can talk to Ade about this topic.
"Rock, where were you when you were young?" Ade didn't let Rock go.
Luo Ke is speechless, Luo Ke is not old now either.
However, Rock still answered honestly: "I went to school when I was young. It was not a traditional private school in the Qing Dynasty, but a new school opened by a priest to attract believers. It was in school that I learned English."<
/p>
Rock received a standard nine-year compulsory education when he was a child, but there was no way to explain this, so Rock could only make it up.
Now Luo Ke's skill in making up has greatly improved, and he also explained how he learned English.
"Locke, then you should thank the priest." Frank accepted everyone's words.
"That priest was already dead when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces of the Qing Dynasty invaded China -" Luo Ke was not angry.
"Damn infidel!" Frank was in a bad mood.
After walking out of the bar, the street in front of the bar was full of cars. Ade was in a bad mood, so he got in the car and returned to the hospital.
"Did we mess up-" Sidney Milner was also in a bad mood.
"This is the consequence that one must bear if one holds a high position." Rock was not surprised. Frank was just joining in the fun, while Jerome and Gothe couldn't bear the responsibility. People like Ade have to be put up in the Palace of Justice.
Come on, this may sound a bit disrespectful, but that’s the fact. Don’t even think about private visits via incognito.
Back at the hospital, Ade finally adjusted. He was very satisfied with being able to steal half a day's leisure. At least Ade saw that the residents of Ziwei City lived and worked in peace and contentment under the rule of the federal government. This was the last thing Ade had worked hard for these years.
The greatest comfort at work.
Then Ade asked to return to Pretoria.
Of course, Rock and Sidney Milner tried their best to dissuade him. It was rare that he was hospitalized due to illness, so he must take a good rest.
"Don't worry about work when you get to the hospital. This is actually a serious distrust of other officials. We ministers don't just get paid and don't work. Louis, Henry, and Douglas also work hard. We must give them some opportunities to perform.
." Roque took a different approach. Anyone who can become a minister is not a fool. There is really no need to do everything personally. The prime minister does not need to deal with specific work. It is Ade's task to grasp the general direction of southern Africa's development.

The work of each department is responsible for the work of the ministers of each department. When it comes to the Ministry of National Defense, in addition to the minister Roark, there are also Martin and Derek Dodd. If the Ministry of National Defense needs Roark to handle everything, then Martin and Derek
·What are Dodd and the two deputy ministers doing?
Of course, if this is the reasoning, the deputy ministers do not actually have to be responsible for specific work. Each department under the Ministry of National Defense also has directors, and there are deputy directors under the directors. If they are promoted from one level to another, then no one will do any work. This depends on the management level of the leader. Of course, it is okay if everyone does not work. As long as there are no problems with the national defense and security of Southern Africa, everything will be fine. But if there is a problem, it will be Roque's responsibility.
"It's time to get over it, I just gave you too much power, that's why you're causing so much trouble." Ade didn't listen to Roque's fallacy. None of the ministers in southern Africa are fuel-efficient. If Ade hadn't
I really don’t feel at ease when I stare at it.
A sentence that many people often like to say is "I am responsible", which itself is irresponsible.
"So is southern Africa always expanding? Is the security of southern Africa guaranteed? Is southern Africa very stable internally?" Roque's series of questions left Adelaide speechless. There is indeed a lot of trouble.
But every time he makes trouble, he brings real benefits to southern Africa, which is much better than Louis Botha who hangs around all day.
It cannot be said that Louis Botha is incompetent, but it seems that Louis Botha is just messing around in the Ministry of Agriculture and cannot achieve any results, even worse than Douglas who just took over the Ministry of Education.
"Locke, you need to have a more comprehensive vision. The aggression in southern Africa is already too strong now, and London is not willing to see a country in Africa similar to the United States in the Americas." Adelaide said sincerely, and he really praised Luo.
Ke is being trained as a successor.
"For London, Southern Africa is the end of the world -" Rock doesn't think so. Southern Africa is really not that big. Look at the Americas. The entire North America is just one United States and one Canada. Russia has a territory of more than 20 million square kilometers, and the Australian continent is
Australia is just one country, so southern Africa is really not that big.
There are some things that Rock cannot tell Ade. Of course, Rock also knows that the expansion of southern Africa will arouse London's vigilance.
But the problem is that Southern Africa is still part of the United Kingdom and is not completely independent. Therefore, even if London is wary, it will acquiesce in the expansion of Southern Africa because it also means the expansion of the Commonwealth.
Moreover, this expansion did not require the British to spend money. The British government spent more than 200 million to fight the Boer War. The result was the conquest of two countries established by the Boers. However, the British government was also overwhelmed because it was overwhelmed, which objectively led to the collapse of the British colonial policy.
Change.
Now, without spending a penny, the British government has directly annexed most of Portuguese East Africa to Southern Africa. The British government is definitely happy to see this result.
"The reason you don't feel the pressure in London is because the Prime Minister is carrying it for you." Sidney Milner couldn't help but say something fair. Adelaide really didn't say anything to Roque.
"So, I need the Prime Minister to help me carry on." It is impossible to say that Roque is not moved, but Roque's way of expression is different from ordinary people.
This sounds like he wants Ade to live a long life.
"Actually, it's not that you can't work in Ziwei Hospital. You just need to treat the ward as an office. It's not the last century anymore. There are telegraphs and telephones, and communications are so advanced. It doesn't mean that you have to be in Pretoria."
Roque is very open-minded, so Roque spends most of his time in Nyasaland.
However, Roque also ignored an issue. In the past, Roque spent most of his time in Nyasaland because he was the deputy minister, and Hopkins still stayed in Pretoria.
