Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

World War I resulted in approximately 15 million deaths, 20 million injuries, and approximately 3.5 million lifelong disabilities.

At the end of the World War, Coolidge served as the governor of Massachusetts. At that time, Coolidge pushed against all the opposition and pushed the state Legislature to provide veterans in Massachusetts with a subsidy of $100 per person. This was one of the few states that provided living allowances to veterans.

Massachusetts is the industrial center of the United States, has a relatively good economic situation, and has the ability to provide living allowances to veterans.

Those states with poorer economic conditions are even more miserable, and some people have not received any subsidies so far.

"This soldier named Tom lost an arm and a foot in the World War. He did not receive a disability pension. He was unwilling to return to his hometown and drag down his family. He could not find a job, so he could only wander on the streets of New York.

He relies on picking up garbage for a living, and he only has a skinny dog ​​for company -" Rock felt heavy. This tragedy is not an exception. There is only one company in the world that can provide good care for disabled veterans like southern Africa.

.

"We sat down and chatted, and I bought him a cup of coffee. He was very grateful for it, but I felt extremely ashamed. From that day on, I never wore a military uniform again because I felt that the shining gold star was the right symbol for me.

My greatest irony - about 1100 years ago, a poet wrote this poem: The poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir's dream; sometimes we need war to maintain world peace, but more often we need to

Keeping in mind the harm and pain caused by war, we have the "Abandoned War Pact"——"

Only Rock's voice echoed in the huge conference room.

The reporters were immersed in taking shorthand. Some of the emotional female reporters had red circles in their eyes. The photographers did not dare to take pictures because they did not want the flash to make any sound.

"Maybe the Non-War Pact cannot completely stop the war, but even if we only win one percent of peace, it is worth our 100 percent effort!" Roque ended with a firm voice, and the press conference immediately rang with a lasting sound.

And warm applause.

Yang Smozi waited for almost a minute before signaling the reporters to stop applauding, otherwise the press conference would have been delayed for who knows how long.

The second question was given by Yang Smuts to a female reporter from the Washington Post.

"Thank you, Minister Smuts. I am Carolyn, a reporter from the Washington Post. I would like to ask Lord Nyasaland if you can give me the contact information of Soldier Tom. I would like to continue to report on his deeds.

Call on the whole society to improve the help for retired soldiers." Caroline raised this question with red eyes. Although it was a bit inappropriate, there were no boos.

Rock was different from Coolidge. Although Coolidge's grandfather, Calvin Coolidge, served in various local departments in Plymouth, Coolidge's father was just a farmer.

There is no intention to discriminate against farmers here. The reason why I emphasize it is to show that Coolidge did not have a strong background. Apart from his identity as president, Coolidge did not have much to fear. That is why reporters were so bold at the White House press conference.

Rock has served as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, and his official identity is the Marquis of Nyasaland of the British Empire. In addition to these, Rock is also a powerful capitalist, financial giant, and industrial oligarch, with nearly a hundred companies under his name, including

There are more than ten companies at the "trust" level. In the United States, Rock has been sued countless times by federal courts.

In 1890, the U.S. Congress passed the "Act to Protect Trade and Commerce Against Unlawful Restrictions and Monopolies," referred to as the "Sherman Antitrust Act." It was against this background that Rockefeller's Ex-Mobil Oil Company was forced to break up.

"Sorry Caroline, I have ordered the Southern African Indian Ocean Fleet to take Tom to Southern Africa. Tom lost an arm and a foot in the war, but that just proved his bravery and loyalty, so I will let him

To become the gatekeeper of the Palace of Justice, I believe Tom will be a serious and responsible person——" Rock was interrupted by warm applause before he could finish his words.

The Palace of Justice is the Prime Minister's Palace of Southern Africa. Being a gatekeeper is a job full of glory. Everyone in the Southern African military aspires to it, and its meaning is similar to being on duty on the lawn in front of the White House.

Where is the lawn in front of the White House? Coolidge's press conference was held on the lawn in front of the White House.

If it were anyone else, for the sake of publicity, they might send Tom to a nursing home to be raised and then forget about him.

Rock never does this. It’s not the end of the world if he breaks an arm or a foot. The prosthetic limbs in southern Africa are quite advanced. Give Tom a job within his ability so that he can support himself without increasing the burden on society.

Maintaining Tom's self-esteem is the best choice.

As for whether Tom is up to the task——

There is no need to worry about this issue. Until the establishment of the Southern African federal government, no one has attacked the Palace of Justice, and Tom is not the only guard on duty.

"Compared to Southern Africa, our government officials deserve to be put on trial -"

"More than just a trial, they all deserve to go to hell!"

In the corner of the conference hall, two reporters were whispering.

Compared with southern Africa, the United States obviously does not reflect on the war enough, and its treatment of heroes is completely different.

When the newspapers come out tomorrow, the U.S. federal governments at all levels will probably be embarrassed, and the military will probably be even more embarrassed.

Rock's press conference was significantly longer than Kerry's press conference.

After two questions that seemed to have little to do with the topic, Yang Smuts gave a third chance to a reporter from the New York Times.

The status of "The New York Times" in the American newspaper world is probably similar to that of the British "Times". It is known for its seriousness and fairness. In 1869, after George Jones took over the "New York Times", he was accused of exposing the huge Tammany Hall corruption case.

And it was a sensation.

Speaking of Tammany Hall, this is another cancer born under American democracy. This association was originally a national patriotic charity group in the United States, dedicated to safeguarding democratic institutions, especially against the upper-class theory of the Federalist Party.

Tammany Hall, also known as the Columbia Regiment, later became the political machine of the Democratic Party. In some famous criminal cases, there was evidence that Tammany Hall teamed up with criminal gangs to control New York. Not long ago, Tammany Hall was involved in manipulation.

Election scandal, highly controversial, downfall in 1934.

"My lord, what do you think of the relationship between southern Africa and the United States?" The New York Times reporter's question was really sharp. The fewer words, the greater the impact.

"The relationship between southern Africa and the United States is as complex and changeable as the world we live in -" Roque paused, drinking water to organize his thoughts: "-the world war has taught us enough lessons. War

It is no longer the only way to solve problems. As the two most powerful countries in the world, Southern Africa and the United States have extensive common interests. We both need a peaceful and stable environment to create a better and happy life——

"

The vast majority of politicians in this world always talk about national interests and the global situation, as if the earth would not spin if they left it.

Roque is not like this. Of course Roque also values ​​national interests and always puts national interests first. However, at the same time Roque also cares about the lives of ordinary people and the feelings of ordinary people. This is the biggest problem between Roque and other politicians.

different.

"Southern Africa and the United States have extensive common interests, and of course there are differences. We cannot avoid this, but the differences are not all, and they are not serious enough to lead to life and death. In many cases, we can use cooperative methods to resolve differences, such as

In Southeast Asia, and for example in the Bahamas, we need more attempts. This time the "Pact without War" means that we are trying to resolve differences by means other than war, and I believe that with the efforts of all peace-loving people, those who

Differences will eventually be resolved perfectly." Roque appropriately sang a high-pitched tone. With these words, whoever opposes the Non-War Pact is not peace-loving.

Wow, this hat is too big, no one can carry it.

Different from the White House press conference, Roque's press conference ended in peace and harmony. The reporters got the materials they wanted, as well as small gifts carefully prepared by Roque. Roque also made a big splash in the American media.

Good impression, as for the tariff——

There is nothing to say about the tariff issue. As a peace-loving person who is dedicated to the welfare of ordinary people, Roque's suggestions must be reasonable.

This may sound a bit ridiculous, but the reality is even more ridiculous.

When the newspapers came out the next day, they were filled with overwhelming praise, especially the little story Rock told. Every news article would focus on it, and they would all end with questions about the U.S. government and the U.S. Department of War.

A disabled veteran who fought bloody battles for the United States received no help from the U.S. government and the U.S. Department of War and was abandoned by American society.

Instead, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force extended a helping hand and gave Tom an enviable job.

This is not a matter of money, this is respect for people. This is the embodiment of humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, compassion, honesty, justice, and soul pursued by the so-called chivalry.

As soon as this news came out, compared with Rock, American politicians were completely selfish hypocrites, and American generals became unscrupulous and insensitive butchers. It can be said that with the overwhelming news, American politicians and generals

Experienced a collective social death in the shortest possible time.

Ah, sorry, there is no word "social death" yet, but this does not prevent newspapers from venting their dissatisfaction with the US government and the US War Department.

You must know that approximately 120,000 people died and 300,000 were injured in the United States during the World War. Not to mention that every household in the United States was covered with mourning, the radiation surface was still very large.

And regardless of how the media claims to be fair and objective, only sensationalism can attract attention.
