Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

What is politics?

In Rock's understanding, politics should be cruel and cold-blooded, where the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The winner wins everything and the loser loses everything.

In Owen's understanding, politics is a game, a stage play, a big dyeing vat where you sing and I come on stage, and a card game that is reshuffled every few years.

We can’t say who has a more correct understanding of politics, but it is obvious that Rock’s understanding of politics is closer to the true meaning of politics. This is not a game that everyone is qualified to participate in. If you want to participate, you must be prepared to pay the price.

Prepare.

"A two-party or multi-party system will cause serious social problems. Elections every few years will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Politicians will do anything to gain support. Political correctness will eventually become the consensus of the whole society. In order to compete for votes, political parties will

There is no bottom line to please all voters, trying every means to increase one's votes, and then ignoring the interests of the whole society. Specific to the Transvaal, if there are two parties in the Transvaal, or more than two parties, then what do you want?

Thinking about how bad things were back then, we had the support of government employees and farmers, so other political parties had to find ways to win over other voters. Besides government employees and farmers, who else was left in Johannesburg? Miners, or maybe ancestors.

Lu people, or anyone else, don't think it's impossible, it's very possible, look at Cape and London now." Rock reminded Owen that politics has never been gentle.

"You mean we are the only party in Cape Town? That's impossible, given the premise of the democratic representative system." Owen blurted out without thinking. He never thought that the democratic representative system has another form of expression.

"Why is it impossible? If all Johannesburg people only support the Liberal Party, then there will be no room for other parties to exist." Rock knows that the democratic representative system actually has many forms of expression, and that a two-party system or a multi-party system will lead to disastrous consequences.

.

"One-party system." Owen muttered to himself, never having thought of this possibility.

"Don't think about this problem now, I will find a way to prove it to you." Rock has many methods, even in this kind of matter, Rock still has methods.

"How do you prove it to me?" Owen was very curious.

"Be patient." Roque didn't say it. Until he did it, no one would believe him even if he said it.

In fact, Orange is Rock's best "test field".

In the past, Orange had the "People's Party" and the "Orange Unionist Party", but now the "Orange Unionist Party" has been killed by Rock, so Orange still needs a new party to fill the "Orange Unionist Party"

"Leaving a blank space, Rock already has plans for this party, but it's not time to reveal the mystery yet.

Early the next morning, a special guest appeared at the Johannesburg police station. It was Gandhi, who had met Roque in Pretoria.

It can be said that everything has been smooth sailing for Rock since the outbreak of the war. In contrast, Gandhi is still struggling with his fate.

After the war broke out, Gandhi organized a "stretcher-bearing team" of 1,100 people to serve the expeditionary force.

Although the work of the "Stretcher Bearers" was well received by the expeditionary force headquarters, it is obvious that the contribution of the "Stretcher Bearers" was not enough to bring Gandhi a knighthood. Therefore, Gandhi is still a lawyer who has not won any court arguments.

.

After the war, Gandhi did not disband his stretcher team. During his stay in Pretoria, Gandhi and his "stretcher team" gained the trust of some Boers because of their help. After the signing of the "Peace Agreement"

, Gandhi and his stretcher team came to Orange and continued to provide medical services to the Boers.

When he saw Roque, Gandhi's haggard and skinny face showed a trace of embarrassment. When he was in Pretoria, Roque was still a police superintendent, and Gandhi could still argue in front of Roque. Now Roque is a Nepali police officer.

Baron Asalan, Gandhi is still standing still. If Rock hadn't sent someone to find Gandhi, Gandhi wouldn't have even been qualified to visit Rock.

Rock didn't seem to notice this fact and received Gandhi like an old friend.

Gandhi took the coffee from Rock with fear and couldn't help but sigh: "I have come into contact with all kinds of people here, and Lord Nyasaland is the only one who will not treat me differently because of my skin color.

"

Rock was simply surprised. Geographically speaking, Rock and Gandhi were both Asians. In terms of skin color, the British customarily classified Chinese and Indians as people of color, although the Indians did not recognize this.

.

Although Roque has been made a baron, Roque believed that he still belonged to the yellow race. Unexpectedly, in Gandhi's view, Roque had already separated from the racial group because of his status as a baron.

How inferior you are to your own racial group!

"Mohanlas, as long as you persist, Britain will recognize your social status sooner or later." Rock poured a jar full of poisonous chicken soup into Gandhi.

Like Rock, Gandhi was also very ambitious, but Gandhi's way of realizing his ideals was different from Rock's.

Rock followed the route of economic foundation plus superstructure, while Gandhi followed the route of spiritual civilization. Unlike Rock, who focused on reality, Gandhi pinned his hopes on the "Indian Public Opinion" he founded, and often made appeals in the "Indian Public Opinion"

The authorities should pay attention to the rights of the Indian ethnic group without reflecting on the reasons why Indians deserve the attention of the authorities.

Gandhi had unrealistic illusions about white people. After another conflict with the colonial authorities, Gandhi had such a conversation with Young Smuts.

Gandhi said: You know, we Indians will be able to get rid of all the injustices imposed on us.

Yang Smozi: Is there anything else you want to say?

Gandhi: We will definitely win.

Yang Shimozi: Reason?

Gandhi: Because you will help us.

It is estimated that Yang Smuts is going crazy. Although Yang Smuts and Gandhi are both lawyers, their thinking is no longer on the same channel.

Gandhi was also full of illusions about Rock, especially after Gandhi felt keenly that Rock seemed to attach unusual importance to him.

"Lord Nyasaland, I believe that day will come sooner or later. Indians and Chinese will be loyal subjects of the British Empire. We should all be an important part of the British Empire." Gandhi now knows that he should bring the Chinese with him when he speaks.

, but I still habitually rank Indians before Chinese.

Rock only felt disgusted. You Indians can be loyal dogs, but don't bring the Chinese with you. It's better for the Chinese to farm the land honestly.

"Mohanras, if you just make a request but don't show any value worthy of attention, then it will be difficult for you to realize your ideal." Rock interrupted Gandhi in time, otherwise Gandhi would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

The thinking of Indians and Chinese is not on the same channel. Rock used to have lots of dealings with Indians when he was a foreign trade dog.

Indians are such a weird group. What they cannot change is bragging and lying. When Rock was working as a foreign trade dog, Indians often came to consult. They asked for ten containers of goods. Rock quoted the price.

After that, the Indian people said, I need to try one or two first.

Of course, the price must be based on a large quantity of ten containers.

If it is one or two, it is not representative, but if most, or even the vast majority, of Indians are like this, then it will explain the problem.

"Yes, Lord Nyasaland, I have also recognized this problem, so I hope you can help us fight and give us a part of the farms around Johannesburg. Even the Zulu people can have farms in Johannesburg. We Indians

Why not?" Gandhi's request shocked Rockled.

It is true that some Zulu people own farms in Johannesburg, but the Zulu farms are not given to them for free. They are also bought from the city government with real money.

Listen to what Gandhi said: Divide!

It means giving it for free. Officials of the Johannesburg City Hall have to pay for the farm, but Gandhi wanted the Johannesburg City Hall to give it to them for free.

I really don't know what was going on in Gandhi's mind.

Only then did Rock realize that it might have been a mistake to call Gandhi.

"Mohanras, the farms around Johannesburg have been carved up. There are no spare farms at all, but there are in Orange. The Bloemfontein city government has always wanted to give the farms to the Boers. You can go and fight for it."

To avoid misfortune, if Gandhi went to the Bloemfontein City Hall to make such a request, the expression on the face of Bloemfontein Mayor Lance McCarthy would be very nice.

"I approached the city government, but they didn't agree." Gandhi said angrily, but he actually approached him, and Rock was shocked again.

What kind of shameless spirit is this!

"Then your method must be wrong." Rock said firmly.

"What's wrong?" Gandhi seemed to grasp at straws.

"The way you put forward your opinions is wrong. Think about it, you have no social influence, no title, and you don't even have a position in the Bloemfontein Municipal Government. It is impossible for the Bloemfontein Municipal Government to seriously consider your suggestions." Roque said.

The words are not without purpose, it is indeed the case.

Most of the farms around Johannesburg are run by Chinese, so whether Gandhi admits it or not, Rock's words are very convincing.

At least he is regarded as a god by the current Gandhi.

"Then what should I do?" Gandhi asked urgently.

"If you don't have social influence, increase your social influence. If you don't have a title, just find a way to get it. It doesn't matter if you don't have a position. As long as you do the first two, even if you do one, when you make suggestions, Bronfant

The Danish government will seriously consider it." Roque is still a poisonous chicken soup and has no real suggestions at all.

"How to increase social influence?" Gandhi thought hard. In fact, his mind was not very bright, otherwise he would not be able to win every lawsuit.

Gold will shine wherever it is, but it must be gold first. If it is a piece of brass, it will not shine no matter where it is moved.

"In a few years, the Transvaal and Orange may implement democratic representative systems." Rock sighed quietly. If Gandhi himself realized this, he would probably be anxious to death.

"Democratic representative system!" Gandhi's eyes widened instantly, as if suddenly enlightened, but it didn't look like it.

Rock sighed. He was very disappointed with Gandhi. How could he deal with the kind of people like Louis Botta and Yang Smuts if he was so slow?

I'm afraid Louis Botha and Jan Smuts could eat Gandhi alive.

"Yes, it is the democratic representative system. This is what London promised, and it is estimated that it will be implemented in two or three years at most. This is your last chance." Rock said bluntly, Gandhi was not pretending to be stupid, he was really stupid.

Otherwise, we would not have chosen the bizarre method of "non-violent non-cooperation" to resist British colonial aggression.

"Great, Lord Nyasaland, we can form a political party in Johannesburg and then participate in the general election to jointly safeguard the interests of Indians and Chinese." Gandhi was inexplicably excited.

Rock looked at Gandhi like he was an idiot, wondering if he had been kicked in the head by a donkey last night, which was why he asked Martin to find Gandhi.

"Uh, isn't that right?" Gandhi finally realized from Rock's expression that he seemed to have made a mistake.

"Yes, you need a political party, but not in Johannesburg, but in Bloemfontein. Isn't your stretcher team helping the Boers? This is a good advantage and allows you to gain the support of some Boers.

, and then you can participate in the election in Bloemfontein. Even if you cannot get the leadership of the government, as long as you have some seats in the parliament, you can make a louder voice." Roque broke it and crushed it and said,

Gandhi had given up all hope.

Now Rock finally knows why Winston evaluated Gandhi so harshly. If Rock was asked to evaluate Gandhi, then Rock might evaluate him even more harshly.

It seems that Gandhi also had a nickname called "Mahatma". Rock couldn't even figure out how this nickname came about, how did it become "holy"? How did it become "male"?

"But if it's just me, Lord Nyasaland, I need your help, you must help me, you will definitely do that." Gandhi said sincerely.

Rock now deeply feels that in terms of "eating, taking, waiting, and asking for things", the Indians are definitely more extreme than the Boers. Compared with the Indians, the Boers are simply angels, and even "honey confidence" is not enough.

describe.

"Mohanras, if you want to really gain the respect of others, then you have to do something worthy of respect, instead of waiting for charity from others." After Roque finished speaking, he raised his head and gave Li De

A look.

Li De understood and politely came over to ask Gandhi to leave.

"Lord Nyasaland, please consider my opinion. If we join forces, we will be successful. I will be your best helper." Gandhi still wanted to fight for it, but Li De picked him up and pulled him away.

Join forces?

Even if I don't join forces with you, I will still be in trouble!
