Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Many people can prove that Halifax really slipped and fell into the river, and there was no other hidden reason.

Halifax is insignificant. His wife and children have left Winterton and disappeared without a trace. During the rainy season, the river flooded and search and rescue was impossible. Although Halifax's body has not been found, everyone agreed that Halifax

X was dead, including his companions.

The impact of this is still there. All the white people who were ready to move have died down. No one is coveting the warm and dry houses of the Chinese anymore. Winter and Gilbert promised to help the white people who lost their homes in the flood to rebuild their homes. Although they are now repairing the river channels,

If it’s too late, it’s still possible to rebuild the house. It doesn’t rain every day during the rainy season. There will always be sunny days after the rain.

During this year's rainy season, the rainfall in Cape State was more than double that of previous years. Many rivers in the territory overflowed, causing serious damage to residents on both sides of the river. Economic losses reached about 50 million rand.

The Cape State government was unable to provide timely relief to the affected people, thus triggering a crisis of confidence in the state government. The governor was forced to resign in December, and the new governor was the Speaker of the State Assembly, Liberal Edmond Law, a member of the Progressive Party.

As a result, it suffered a complete defeat and lost the last ruling state.

When 1919 came, all 11 states in southern Africa were governed by the Liberals, except Orange State, which was governed by the People's Party. Philip, leader of the Liberal Party and Speaker of the National Assembly, therefore pushed Congress to amend the Constitution again. The new Constitution stipulates

, starting in 1920, the leader of the majority party in Congress directly became the prime minister of the federal government, and no congressional elections were held.

If the provisions of the new Constitution are followed, Philip will automatically become Prime Minister of Southern Africa in 1920.

Although Ade has the support of the Liberal Party, he is not the leader of the Liberal Party, nor is he even a member of the Liberal Party.

Also in December, the Southern African Congress held a general election of members, and one-third of the seats changed. After the general election, the Liberal Party of Congress was still the largest party, occupying all 75 seats in the Congress.

With 52 seats, the Progressive Party is still the second largest party, with only 9 seats left, the Nyasaland Party has 7 seats, the Orange People's Party has only 3 seats, and the last 4 are occupied by other parties.

Partisan carve-up.

It should be noted here that the influence of the Nyasaland Party finally broke through Nyasaland. Transvaal and Rhodesia each had a Nyasaland Member of Parliament. This situation did not cause any concern.

It's a big deal, but it has attracted some people's attention.

"Since there are already MPs from the Nyasaland Party in Transvaal and Rhodesia, it would be unjustifiable to use the name Nyasaland Party again." Owen said with a half-smile. Rock was the founder of the Liberal Party.

, now seems to have the intention of establishing its own business.

"If you have anything to say, say it directly. You know, it was not my intention to establish the Nyasaland Party." Roque was also helpless. The Nyasaland Party was founded by Eddie Marjorie, a professor at the Department of Law at the University of Nyasaland.

, the current party leader is Anton, which has nothing to do with Roque.

Roque is still a member of the Liberal Party.

Eddie Marjorie is of German origin, and his original intention of establishing the Nyasaland Party was to unite the Nyasaland people and protect the interests of Nyasaland.

Southern Africa is a country of immigrants, especially Nyasaland. Almost all Nyasalands have just migrated in the past decade or so. They urgently need a sense of belonging in order to settle down in Nyasaland.

It was against this background that the Nyasaland Party developed rapidly after its establishment, especially in universities and large enterprises in Nyasaland. The vast majority of students and corporate employees joined the Nyasaland Party.

As more and more graduates leave Nyasaland to work in other places, the influence of the Nyasaland Party becomes larger and larger. There is now a branch of the Nyasaland Party in Orange State, but there are not enough members.

, the influence is not enough.

"I know it's not you, but you are the Marquis of Nyasaland. Everyone would think that the Nyasaland Party has something to do with you." Irving huffed. Although the Liberal Party won a resounding victory, it was not as good as the victory Irving imagined.

The difference is that the Liberal Party does not dominate the world.

Roque knew why Irving was dissatisfied. Originally, after Philip became Prime Minister, Irving had a high chance of becoming Speaker of Parliament.

Now it seems that the person who is more likely to become the Speaker of Parliament is Ade. Irving will have to wait a few more years before he can make his debut.

"Aren't you going to London? When are you leaving?" Rock changed the subject. Irving went to London to visit Louis Botha.

After the Paris Peace Conference, Louis Botha fell ill immediately. Only then did Roque know that in recent months, Louis Botha had been dragging his illness to fight for the interests of southern Africa.

Louis Botta is currently undergoing treatment in London, but the situation is not good. Rock has entrusted Barton to visit Louis Botta on Rock's behalf, and placed Louis Botta in Rock's manor on the outskirts of London for treatment.

The winter in London is really not suitable for recuperating from illness. You can get sick even if you are not sick. It is said that thousands of people have died in London this winter.

That is to say, Louis Botha is not suitable for traveling long distances, otherwise it would be more suitable to take him back to southern Africa for treatment.

Now we can only wait for Louis Botta's body to gradually recover, but Roque doesn't feel very well. Louis Botta from another time and space seems to have passed away this year.

The Louis Botha of this time and space is more depressed than the Louis Botha of another time and space. The Louis Botha of another time and space participated in the Paris Peace Conference as the Prime Minister of Southern Africa. The Louis Botha of this time and space is just

Minister of Agriculture.

Owen was entrusted by Adé and Philippe to visit Louis Botha. If possible, Owen would take Louis Botha back to southern Africa for treatment.

"In a few days, Minister Botha is always in good health. I hope he is fine." Irving mentioned Louis Botha with a heavy heart.

People who are in good health are often like this, either they don't have any problems at all, or when a problem occurs, it becomes a big problem that can easily kill someone.

"Greetings to Minister Botha for me. I hope he can recover soon. By the way, I told him that in Victoria and Dias, national farms are becoming a reality. This is based on his idea." Roque entrusted Owen to give

Louis Botta brings good news and hopes that Louis Botta will get well soon.

Before the outbreak of the world war, Louis Botha visited Nyasaland, hoping to learn from Nyasaland’s agricultural model and push southern Africa’s agriculture to a new level.

However, after learning about the specific situation in Nyasaland, Louis Botha gave up this idea.

The reason why Nyasaland's agriculture is developed has little to do with the policies of the Nyasaland state government.

Most of the farms in Nyasaland are run by Chinese. The excellence of the Chinese is not only reflected in Nyasaland. The Chinese in Transvaal and Rhodesia also perform very well. The Nyasaland government is indeed doing good for Nigeria.

The farms in Asalan have created a relatively good development environment, but the more important factor is people, not policies or funds, technology or other things.

After Southern Africa annexed the states of Victoria and Dias, it used the "unclaimed wasteland" of Victoria and Dias to establish national farms. Victoria was mostly based on plantations and farms, while Dias was based on forest farms.

and pastures.

This is also determined based on the actual situation in Victoria and Dias states.

Relatively speaking, conditions in Victoria are better. During the German colonial period, relatively mature plantations and farms were developed. After Southern Africa annexed Victoria, national farms with an area of ​​more than six million hectares were built in Victoria.

The development situation is very good now.

The conditions in Dias State are slightly worse, especially the desert area in southern Dias State, which is not suitable for developing farms at all.

During the World War, the federal government of Southern Africa organized people to go to Diaz State to control the desert, using fast-growing forests and Roque's golden fingers to combat land desertification. It has now had a certain effect and has curbed the expansion of land desertification to a certain extent.

Although the southern part of Diaz State looks like a desert area on the map, it is actually not a barren desert like North Africa. There are actually rainy and dry seasons every year. It is just because of the lack of vegetation that it cannot retain water, so it gradually becomes

desert.

In order to manage the deserts in Dias State, Roque funded the establishment of the Namib Company to manage the deserts in southern Dias State and southwestern Cape. Nearly one million rand has been invested in this work.

"Minister Botha's condition is not good. Professor Harriman said that Minister Botha may die at any time. Pretoria is ready. If Minister Botha dies, he will receive a state funeral." Owen is not optimistic, Louis

Botha is only 57 years old now, which is actually a prime age for a national leader.

However, considering the average life span of this era, 57 years old can be considered a long life.

Louis Botha has a special status in southern Africa, especially among the Boers. Louis Botha has a very high prestige. Many Boers still insist that Louis Botha should be the prime minister of southern Africa, not an outsider.

British people hold this position.

Because of this, Louis Botha was actually marginalized in the federal government, and the Ministry of Agriculture can be regarded as the least valued department in the federal government.

Rock was in a bad mood.

The relationship between Louis Botha and Roque is a bit complicated. From the standpoint of the Boers, Louis Botha and Roque, who represents the Chinese, have conflicts of interest.

But from the standpoint of southern Africa, the Boers had to unite with the Chinese to fight against London. After the establishment of the federal government, the relationship between Roque, Louis Botha, and Yang Smuts had been improving.

To Rock's regret, news of Louis Botha's death came before Owen left London. After all, Louis Botha did not wait until the day when the Boers came to their senses.
