Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1525 Disappointment
Compared with the dinner at the Governor's Palace, the banquet at the Palace of Justice has much stricter vetting of guests, which at least ensures that people like the Simpsons cannot sneak in.
You can also bring your partner to the dinner party at the Palace of Justice. About 500 people attended, and the proportion of Chinese people was significantly higher than that of white people.
When George V gave a speech last night, there were still whispers below.
When Roque gave his speech, the entire banquet hall was silent and everyone was quiet.
Roque's speech did not last long, and was followed by George V.
"Thank you, the Marquess of Nyasaland, the Transvaal State Government and the Pretoria Municipal Government. Your work is unparalleled and has made the world aware of a brand new southern Africa -" George V's speech was full of praise.
There was no mention of "honorary white people", so he probably already knew Roark's reaction to this matter.
It doesn't matter anymore. If the federal government of Southern Africa grants "honorary Chinese" status to white people living in southern Africa, it is estimated that the white people in southern Africa will also rebel.
"——As the Marquis of Nyasaland said, we are in an unprecedented new era. How to adapt to the development of the times and maintain the glory and splendor of the British Empire requires the joint efforts of all of us. Let us raise a toast together and wish
A Better Tomorrow——" George V was good at speeches, and he could barely be regarded as a politician. These politicians in Europe and the United States, one by one, were all masters of speeches.
After the speech, there was a happy hour, the band played hard, the guests danced, and George V invited Roque to take a walk in the garden.
Tonight's security at the Palace of Justice is jointly handled by the Palace of Justice Secret Service and the Royal Guard.
At this time, you can see the difference between the two organizations. The Royal Guards still wear bearskin hats and red tights, while the Secret Service all wear clean overalls.
Their weapons are also different. It is hard to imagine that the equipment used by the Royal Guards is still Lee Enfield, and each person only has one Lee Enfield.
Secret Service staff do not carry rifles, and all weapons are worn inside their jackets. In addition to 9mm pistols, they also carry mini submachine guns that can be worn inside their jackets, giving them more powerful firepower at close range.
"What do you think of the current Commonwealth?" George V's conversation went more in-depth today. This was the first time George V talked about the Commonwealth with Roque after the Imperial Conference.
"The Commonwealth is a decision made by all of us and a choice of the times." Rock didn't want to say too much. George V should also be clear about the reasons that led to the emergence of the Commonwealth.
"Yes, the previous British Empire is no longer suitable for the development of the times. I hope the Commonwealth is the right choice." George V sighed. Don't listen to the impassioned words he just said. The British Empire has become difficult to return to. George V and Stanley...
Baldwin was also a tinker.
As for Ramsay Macdonald, he was not even a tinker, but an apprentice at best.
Rock didn't speak, and the two of them walked along the path in the garden. Although it was winter, the weather was not cold, and there were still flowers in bloom in the garden, but neither Rock nor George V were in the mood to appreciate them.
Looking back at the brightly lit banquet hall, the people were loud and the music was melodious. The air was filled with the faint aroma of wine. In the distance, a guard's command in a lowered voice came from the distance. Rock went around in circles without leaving any trace, trying to take George V away.
Go back to the lobby.
George V didn't want to go back, so he saw a chair on the lawn and walked over to sit down.
Rock also took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe it. George V refused with a smile and sat down in a very relaxed posture, with his arms spread and his legs straight.
Rock was a little depressed.
The chairs are not long, just enough for two people, and three people can sit even if they squeeze in.
George V was probably used to sitting alone in a chair. He sat in the middle of the chair, with his arms spread out on the back of the chair, occupying the entire chair. Rock could only stand.
Well, who deserves to sit in the same chair as the king?
Fortunately, Zach was there, and he immediately brought a chair over to Rock, and then disappeared silently.
"Your butler, I heard that you rescued him from Robben Island -" George V was indeed very relaxed and inadvertently exposed some information. The people around Roque have probably been investigated by the British Military Intelligence Agency.
The bottom falls.
"Yes, Zack's tongue was cut out by the guards on Robben Island because he was talking in his sleep -" Rock had no intention of complaining. In the Cape during the colonial era, the colonial government was indeed very cruel.
"Before the federal government of Southern Africa was established, the living conditions of the Chinese in Southern Africa were not very good. Did they have any resentment against the British Empire?" George V did not hesitate. Why are white people so wary of the Chinese? Because they are afraid that when the Chinese stand up, they will
The pain that white people inflicted on Chinese people was also inflicted on white people.
"The Chinese are the most tolerant nation in the world and will not hold onto hatred. Southern Africa is proof of this -" Roque also relaxed and crossed his legs casually, resting his arms on the armrests and folding his hands on his lower abdomen.
Looking up, the sky is filled with stars.
"Parliament decided to grant the Chinese the title of 'Honorary White Man', why didn't you accept it?" George V didn't understand either.
"Your Majesty, the Chinese have a long history, created a glorious civilization, and have led the world for countless generations. Therefore, the Chinese have Chinese pride, a pride that comes from the depths of their hearts and blood. Please forgive me for being rude, and honor the title of white people.
It is not attractive to the Chinese. Look at southern Africa now. Chinese and white people can live in peace and work hard for a better tomorrow. Isn’t that good?” Rock directly criticized the title of honorary white people for the Chinese.
To put it simply, it's like giving alms. Rock doesn't appreciate such alms.
Don't like it either.
Now it was George V's turn to be silent. When it comes to history, the British really have nothing to offer. There are very few British cultural relics in the British Empire Museum, and almost all of them were stolen.
Rock didn't care whether being so sharp would make George V even more worried. In another time and space, Southern Africa did not always stay in the Commonwealth and withdrew in 1961.
"Parliament is indeed inappropriate. I will urge Lord Cave to withdraw this decision as soon as possible." George V tried his best to make up for it. Although this cannot completely eliminate the impact of Parliament's decision, it is enough to prove the importance George V attaches to southern Africa.
Viscount Cave is the current Lord Chancellor of the United Kingdom. Before 2006, the British House of Lords did not have a speaker, and the Lord Chancellor presided over its work.
The current Speaker of the British House of Commons is John Henry Wheatley of the Liberal Party Alliance. The decision to grant "Honorary White People" to Chinese people in southern Africa was made by the British House of Commons.
During Lloyd George's tenure as Prime Minister, the British House of Lords lost most of its power, and the British House of Commons actually controlled the United Kingdom.
Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the House of Commons will obey King George V's order and withdraw this decision.
"Thank you -" Rock had no problem with George V himself. He was indeed a good king.
However, Rock has strong opinions on many British politicians. If Americans are hooligans, then British people are scoundrels. They are the same.
Back at the banquet hall, Roque and George V were still looking happy, as if nothing had happened.
The next day, more news came. The decision to award southern Africa "honorary white people" was proposed by a parliamentarian named Abe Hamlet.
Abbé Hamlet was a businessman and political speculator who was elected as a member of the British House of Commons on behalf of Cardiff. He was previously a Liberal. When the Labor Party first came to power, Abbé Hamlet defected from the Liberal Party and joined the Labor Party.
This should still be the poison of the Cardiff incident. Although southern Africa has not left any clues on the miners' issue, in fact, smart people know what is going on.
Without the participation of southern Africa, the French would certainly not be so kind and help Britain solve its troubles.
The French only wish that Britain would be in more trouble.
"What is this Hamlet for?" Rock only kills the culprits. As long as they are businessmen, it will be easy.
"This guy used to be a wool merchant, and he made a living by selling wool from Australia to the mainland -" Christian looked disdainful. It's not convenient for Rock to ask Stoudemire and Owen for this matter. Christian is the most suitable person: "——The local textile industry has been affected.
The strong impact of textiles in southern Africa. Our wool is of good quality and cheap. This guy gave up the wool business a few years ago and got involved in the coal mining business. It happened that the coal miners went on strike this year, and this guy suffered a lot of losses——"
"Wait a minute, the introduction of African-American miners by the Coal Mine Federation will put tremendous pressure on local coal miners and encourage workers to return to work. This is a good thing. Then why is this Hamlet targeting us?" Buck really couldn't figure it out. He had never seen such stupidity.
people.
"Who knows, maybe he wants to build up his reputation and participate in the next prime minister election." Christian also couldn't figure it out. Many things in this world cannot be explained by common sense.
"No matter what he wants to do, I want him to be ruined!" Rock was ruthless. In the past, the most he had to do was pay the price, but ruining his reputation was the first time he used it.
"This is easy to handle. I still have a few friends in the country. We can make this guy die on the streets without us taking action!" Christian is also fierce, and nothing is simpler than physical elimination.
"No, I don't want him to die on the streets, I want him to be ruined, whether it's financially, prestige, or even spiritually. I want everyone to know the cost of targeting southern Africa, so that if someone comes back in the future,
If you want to target southern Africa, you have to weigh the consequences and see if you can't bear it." Roque wants to kill people and kill chickens and scare monkeys. It is too easy for this guy to die on the streets. He must treat his enemies more cruelly than his enemies.
"Okay, Lord, I'll arrange it right away -" Christian smiled grimly. Christian had no mental barriers to doing this kind of thing.
ps: A new month has begun. Now the computer version is blocked and you can only watch it on your mobile phone. Yutou needs the support of brothers——
