Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The communication with the Dhoni family did not bring many unexpected surprises to David Winks.

It is understandable if you think about it, 30 years have passed since the Second Boer War, and only Jan Smuts of the generation of Louis Botha and Paul Kruger, then president of the Transvaal Republic, has died.

, and Yang Smuts was not a Boer, he was a serious Englishman.

Just after the Second Boer War, the Boers who were unwilling to accept British rule fled to death. There were not many left. Those people had been wiped out by the federal government in subsequent conflicts. It can be said that now there are only a few left.

The older generation of Boers, such as Dhoni, are good citizens, but the new generation of Boers have no hatred for the federal government.

To put it bluntly, there are so many Boers who are obsessed with overthrowing the federal government. Most people are still more concerned about their own lives. Now many documents have been declassified. Compare the era of the Transvaal Republic and the era of the Orange Free State.

, the current living standard of the Boers is not bad, or even much better. Even in the era of the Transvaal Republic, Paul Kruger did not take out the gold from the Rand Gold Mine and let all the Boers share it equally.

 So it doesn’t matter whether it is a country established by the Boers or whether it accepts the rule of the federal government. What is important is to live a good life.

Of course, David Winks is not discouraged. Although he did not get the feedback he wanted from the Dhoni family, David Winks attributed the problem to not finding the right target. With the capabilities of the Dhoni family, even if Bull

The Dhoni family will most likely not be the biggest beneficiaries of the restoration of the country, so David Winks needs to eliminate more and more powerful Boers.

 For now, the most powerful Boer is definitely Yang Smuts.

But as long as David Winks is sensible, David Winks will not take advantage of Young Smuts.

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are many people with two legs. Southern Africa has been autonomous for more than 20 years, and the British Empire still has some influence on southern Africa.

What’s more, there is always a shortage of careerists, especially those who think they have the ability to stand on the stage.

 Before 1921, the tallest building in Bloemfontein was the Parliament Building. This crown was replaced by the Rhodesia Hotel after the Rhodesia Hotel was built.

As one of the three capitals in southern Africa, although Bloemfontein's urban construction level cannot keep up with big cities such as Pretoria and Los Angeles, it is actually pretty good. The original parliament building, which was the tallest, has now been replaced by many high-rise buildings.

Surrounded by buildings, it is dusty and unremarkable.

The revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Empire State Building is the most famous restaurant in Bloemfontein.

Since the first Empire State Building was built in Pretoria, Rhodesia Hotel has continued its efforts and built an Empire State Building in all major cities in southern Africa with a permanent population of more than 100,000.

 There is no doubt that the Empire State Building has become the coordinate building of all cities. As a hotel chain, I am afraid that only Stoudemire can achieve this level.

The revolving restaurant can rotate 360 ​​degrees, and diners can eat while overlooking the entire city. Dining in this environment can easily give people the feeling that all living beings are ants. David Winks feels very strongly

.

"This is really great. There has never been any restaurant that can give people such a magical feeling, novel design, top-notch deliciousness, and wonderful enjoyment. The Rhodes family is always so magical." David Winks couldn't help but sigh,

Sitting across from him, Orange State Congressman Randy Felton was all smiles.

David Winks is a British diplomat, and it is not difficult to ask a state legislator to have dinner, especially if there are benefits to be transferred.

Intelligence work is also funded, and usually the funding is quite large. David Winks just offered to donate a donation to the child welfare cause in Orange State, and he got a dinner with Randy Felton.

Opportunity.

 As a politician, Randy Felton also needs political prestige, so we hit it off.

"Yes, the magical Rhodes family and the magical southern Africa can always give people unexpected surprises." Felton smiled, not surprised by the donations from the British mainland. He said that after the Boers surrendered,

For a long time, the Orange State government relied on grants and loans from the United Kingdom.

  Unfortunately, the Boers' appetite was too great for the British Empire to tolerate. Coupled with the political turmoil in the United Kingdom at the time, it eventually led to the autonomy of southern Africa.

It is worth mentioning that after the autonomy of southern Africa, the British did not stop aid to the Boers. In order to add sand to southern Africa, the British not only exempted many Orange State loans, but also gave more to Orange.

Support.

 Similar stupid things have actually been done in the UK.

"Look at this city with brilliant lights, the Boers are a great nation, and the miracles you have created are really amazing -" Winks deliberately guided, the Boers are so great, shouldn't they go further?

"I have never doubted this. In fact, if they can get more help, the Boers can create greater miracles." Felton is not stupid. Everyone can talk. If you want Orange State to cooperate, you have to watch.

Are the benefits provided sufficient?

This is actually an exchange of interests. As long as the money from the British Empire is in place, Felton doesn't mind cooperating with the British Empire to do something.

 If it’s not in place, then let’s talk about it. Anyway, we can do as many things as we want for the money.

 Of course that must be done on the premise that it will not affect Felton’s political career.

This makes David Winks a little bit proud. They are all smart people and are not easy to fool.

 Of course under the banner of the British Empire, David Winks still has some room for maneuver.

“Will southern Africa’s separation from the Commonwealth have any impact on Orange State’s exports?” Winks tried to find a breakthrough in this regard.

 “Maybe—” What Winks didn’t expect was that Felton was not sure.

It should be said that it definitely will, but Orange State is not very dependent on exports. During the period before the establishment of the federal government of Southern Africa, the relationship between Orange State and the federal government was not good, and it even took a long time to join the federal government.

For a period of time, the Orange State was outside the federal government. Under such circumstances, the federal government was naturally unwilling to give the Orange State too much support.

The situation is slightly better now, but the hole dug before was too big, resulting in Orange State not even having a decent enterprise. Among all the states in southern Africa, Orange State’s economic ranking is in the middle.

You must know that at the end of the Second Boer War, Orange State was already included in the territory.

 The results are still the same so far, and Orange State is good enough.

"Even if Southern Africa leaves the Commonwealth and is still an ally of the United Kingdom, we can still cooperate more closely. This will be a major topic in the Imperial Conference to be held later, and the Orange State should seize it.

This opportunity - "David Winks is also not letting the hawk see the rabbit. The previous method of spreading money everywhere in the United Kingdom no longer works.

 Money is still very popular.

 The point is that the British Empire has no money now.

 So funds are also limited, so we must spend them sparingly.

“The Imperial Conference of the United Kingdom has nothing to do with southern Africa, right?" Felton was not in a hurry. They were still in the stage of mutual testing and were still far away from reaching an agreement.

“Yes, if the Orange State is willing, it may be eligible to participate in the Imperial Conference.” David Winks smiled, this news is weighty enough.

Felton’s brows jumped wildly, what the hell is going on?

 Going back to half a month ago, Southern Africa separated from the Commonwealth, which certainly had an impact on Southern Africa, but it seemed to have a greater impact on the United Kingdom.

 London, No. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's Office is gloomy and gloomy.

The United Kingdom has suffered a series of heavy losses recently. Southern Africa has failed to secede from the Commonwealth!

 Disarmament Conference, failed!

 Economy continues to be sluggish, failure!

 Even the Commonwealth Games held in London last year did not reach the scale and height of the Commonwealth Games in Pretoria. It was also a failure!

Neville is also unlucky. Anyone who serves as Prime Minister under such circumstances will probably be exhausted mentally and physically.

"Southern Africa did not agree to return the Changi Naval Base, but agreed to return Halifax and the Bahamas; but Canada did not agree to the withdrawal of the Southern African Atlantic Fleet from Halifax. William King claimed at a meeting of the Canadian Liberal Party that if

If the United Kingdom forces the Southern African Atlantic Fleet to evacuate Halifax, then William King will push Canada to leave the Commonwealth." The new British Foreign Secretary John Simon looked confused. The current British cabinet, except for Beville, probably belongs to John

·Simon is the most painful.

 When Southern Africa seceded from the Commonwealth, Austin resigned angrily and was replaced by Arthur Henderson, who had served in Ramsay Macdonald's cabinet.

 Arthur Henderson was unable to prevent southern Africa from leaving the Commonwealth. He only served as Foreign Secretary for half a month, and he resigned before the negotiations with Yang Smuts were concluded.

This time he was succeeded by Rufus Daniel Isaacs, who had served as Governor-General of India.

  Isaacs only lasted a month and resigned due to health reasons.

This time it is finally the turn of John Simon, who has served as Attorney General and Home Secretary.

John Simon was very tough, and after Ramsay Macdonald promised to give India greater powers, India strongly demanded self-government.

 After that, John Simon led a survey mission to India. Last year, he issued the "Report of the India Survey Mission" and refused to grant autonomous status to India.

As for William King, he was not just talking about pushing Canada to leave the Commonwealth.

  After the Second Boer War, Britain began its strategic contraction and withdrew its troops in Canada in batches, placing Canada directly under a serious threat from the United States.

 William King did not want to be abandoned a second time, so he would retain the Atlantic Fleet at all costs.
