Southern Africa is a magical land. The most magical thing is that there is no inherent system of the old continent. It is like a blank sheet of paper that can be used as desired.

Everyone knows about the problems that exist in the UK. Even taxi drivers can point out and speak impassionedly, but when it comes to solutions to the problems, no one can do anything. There is no other reason. The power of the vested interests is too strong, and it cannot be done casually.

Even George V couldn't pry it.

In the reading room of the National Library, King George V was surprised to see that the people standing in the crowd spanned a wide range of ages. There were gray-haired old people and primary school students aged seven or eight. Of course, most of them were in their prime.

Young people, many of them carry notebooks and take notes while reading, very seriously.

George V subconsciously kept his pace, fearing to disturb the people who were reading. This feeling is really sacred.

"In these young people, I see hope for the future of the Commonwealth -" George V couldn't help but sigh, secretly determined to win over southern Africa.

It was impossible not to win over him. As his understanding of southern Africa deepened, George V increasingly felt the importance of southern Africa to the Commonwealth.

Today's southern Africa is no longer a source of raw materials for the British Empire, but the industrial base of the entire British Commonwealth, a source of food, a source of troops, and the last strategic depth of the British Empire. To put it more seriously, Southern Africa

It is the basis for the stability of the Commonwealth.

This is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

The longer he stayed in southern Africa, the deeper George V felt about this point.

"We have attached great importance to basic education from the beginning. Before the federal government of Southern Africa was established, Locke established Ziwei Public School in Ziwei Town, then the Johannesburg Medical College, then the University of Nyasaland - and now

Every state in Southern Africa has its own institution of higher learning, and every county has its own public education system. Rich people can send their children to top private middle schools, but the education in public schools is not bad either. We must ensure that now

"Even the most remote primary school must have at least one top student who graduated from a formal education college. The federal government's annual funding for education is far ahead of all federal government expenditures." Xiao Si also lamented that this way can also be achieved.

It can be regarded as a rough road.

George V could not utter a single word. Military expenditure still accounts for the highest proportion of the British government's annual expenditures. The two Nelson-class battleships of the Royal Navy are gold-eating monsters.

Fortunately, the two Nelson-class battleships will be delivered for use next year. By then, the British government can focus more on domestic people's livelihood——

Of course, George V has no say in this matter, and it has to be resolved through coordination between the upper and lower houses of the UK.

Thinking of the House of Commons, George V became furious.

Thinking about the House of Lords again, George V was heartbroken.

Compared with the federal government in southern Africa, neither the upper or lower houses of the UK can fight.

Walking up the circular staircase in the atrium, with the atrium as the dividing line, there is the library on the north side and the reading room on the south side. The main style of the decoration is low-key and restrained light blue, giving people the feeling that it is an ocean of knowledge.

There was a guest book on the reception desk at the entrance of the stairs. George V flipped through it and then looked a little embarrassed——

The message on the first page is written in Chinese.

The second page is still in Chinese——

The third page is still——

Page 4——

five--

George V wanted to know what the readers' messages were, but he couldn't understand them.

This is indeed a bit embarrassing.

After flipping through more than a dozen pages, I finally saw an English message.

"I am a tourist from London. The National Library is amazing. The same book is available in more than a dozen different languages. The translation work is very rigorous. The printing of the books is also very beautiful. The reading room is spacious and bright. The service attitude of the staff

It’s so refreshing that I really want to move it to London——”

George V felt like he had been hit hard by 10,000 points, which was worse than not being able to understand.

When George V visited the National Library, in a tavern on Rand Avenue four streets away from the National Library, a dozen tourists from all over the world were drinking beer and listening to the radio.

What is being broadcast live on the radio is the match between the Southern African football team and the Australian football team. The first half is not over yet. The Southern African team is already leading 4-0, and the Australian team has no way to fight back.

"Australia played too badly. If this continues, the final score will probably be 10-0. If it were our American team, we wouldn't have played so badly -" Joseph from the United States was proud. The owner of this pub is of German origin.

, the home-brewed dark beer has a mellow taste, a slight sweetness, and is full of malt aroma. The key is that the price is not expensive, and it suits Tom's appetite.

"You, the United States, are not even a member of the Commonwealth, so you have no qualifications to play -" Scott from Australia retorted.

"In the United States, the so-called football is actually football, which is two different things -" Justin, who is from Canada, knows about the United States. The match between the Canadian football team and the Southern African football team was held the day before yesterday, and Canada simply lost a zero.

Than four.

This score is very interesting. The British football team lost to the Southern African football team by 0 to 3. As the UK is the sovereign country, it still needs to give some face, so Canada lost by 0 to 4. No more, no less, just one more.

The proportions are just right.

If there are no accidents, the final result of this game will be 4-0.

The score is not important, the key is this kind of ability to control the field. You can win as many as you want, which is really powerless.

"What happened to rugby? Compared with football, rugby is the best sport in the world. There are no more than ten goals scored in a football game. The process makes people sleepy. The final score of rugby games is often 30 to 20.

This kind of confrontation is more intense and the process is more exciting. Isn't it more interesting to watch than the boring backcourt to toe?" Joseph is that kind of standard American, and he can be seen all over the world at every turn.

At this time, the commentator's voice came from the radio: "——The Southern African football team showed strong control ability. They were skillfully reaching their feet in the backcourt. The Australians couldn't even touch the ball. This is the Southern African football team.

As usual after taking the lead, the Australian team did not dare to press forward. Three of the four goals they conceded in the first half were scored by southern African counterattacks due to pressing forward - "

"Bah, this is a tactic, do you understand-" Scott got angry.

"Oh, you guys talk about tactics in football and rugby? Do you know how many tactics a football quarterback has to memorize? Let me tell you, there are 20,000 tactics -" Joseph foamed at the mouth.

There are indeed nearly 20,000 kinds of football tactics. It is often seen that when the game is paused, the quarterback is holding a book to look for tactics.

How thick is that book?

It is as thick as the Encyclopedia of the British Empire.

"Hahahahaha, if it is simple and effective, one tactic is enough. Of your 20,000 tactics, 19,000 will probably not be used once a year." Scott laughed.

"It should be nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine--" Justin quietly made a last strike.

"You two idiots, I don't want to chat with you-" Joseph was obviously alone.

"What the hell are you, a red-necked Yankee? Do you want to have a taste of my fist?" Scott had long disliked Joseph.

"You can also use a gun, Dad carries it with him -" Justin is the kind of sinister character who hides behind people and stabs them with a knife during a fight.

"Mom, mess with Brother Fa——" Joseph started to do it whenever he disagreed. In a bar, this kind of thing is normal.

"Fuck-" Scott was punched in the eye by Joseph.

Justin didn't say anything, picked up the cup and smashed it.

Behind the bar, the boss immediately squatted down to call the police, his movements were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.

The police in Southern Africa were very quick in dispatching the police. Soon the police arrived at the scene and took everyone back to the police station.

The police station is already overcrowded.

During the Commonwealth Games, countless spectators from all over the world flocked to southern Africa.

These days, spectators who can afford to go to southern Africa to watch games basically have some financial strength. They are the kind of people who are well-known in the local area, and their tempers are naturally very bad. Therefore, during this period, the public security in Pretoria was a bit bad, and there were fights.

Such incidents are commonplace, and other violent cases have also increased.

The Pretoria city government has long expected this. While increasing the police force, Umbrella Company mercenaries will also share part of the security work. As long as someone dares to cause trouble, they will be arrested first. There is no need to rush the trial. You can take your time and wait for the Commonwealth

Let’s talk after the sports meeting is over.

As a result, the iron cage at the police station was overcrowded, and Joseph, Scott, and Justin were locked in the same iron cage.

"Be honest with me. If you dare to cause trouble here, you will be locked up in a small dark room. Do you know what a small dark room looks like? This is -" The prison guard said seriously. The small dark room is just a small iron room.

The box is very ingeniously designed. When a person is locked in, he cannot stand, squat or lie down. He can only stand in a very awkward posture.

No matter how strong a man is, he can't hold on for half an hour in a small dark room.

"Redneck, do you want to have a taste of the little dark room?" Justin sneered after the prison guard left.

"What are you doing? The war between us is over. Don't mess around. I don't want to be locked in a box-" Joseph was startled.

"What a coincidence, I really want to see you locked in a box-" Justin sneered and smiled evilly.

"Haha, I'm not as stupid as you -" Joseph underestimated the extent of Justin's deviousness.

Justin didn't talk nonsense and punched Joseph hard on the eye socket.

"Damn it, damn it -" Joseph never expected that Justin would rather be locked up in a dark room than drag Joseph into the water.

"Officer, help-" Joseph shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Haha, just scream, no one will save you even if you scream -" Justin pounced on him fiercely.

Joseph fought back, he couldn't just be beaten and not fight back.
