With Philip's support, the Ministry of Justice and Home Office moved quickly, and on the morning of January 25, the Home Office police broke into the Pretoria City Council and took Mayor Glynton Cronin from his office for negligence.

On the evening of the 26th, Transvaal State Assembly member Vernon Aldington was arrested at his home for abuse of office.

On the 28th, Bloemfontein Police Chief Spark Puran shot himself in his office, for reasons that were not disclosed.

Fifteen high-ranking officials in southern Africa were arrested in just one week, and the Times dubbed the operation of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Home Affairs "Operation Fox Hunt".

"Operation Fox Hunt - what a good name, is it true that so many officials have broken the law and committed crimes? Do the Ministries of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior have tangible evidence? Ade took the initiative to call Roque to his manor and asked Roque what he thought about the matter.

The arrested officials were all appointed during Ade's tenure.

Therefore, if the illegal acts of these officials are true, then Ade also has an unshirkable responsibility.

At least a black pot that I don't know knows has to be shaken.

"There is basically solid evidence, and the Department of Justice and Bullard's office have been investigating them for a long time." Roque was more aware of the situation, and Brad's office played an important supporting role in the process.

"Then why didn't you report back to me in time?" Ade was dissatisfied, he didn't think Roque was deliberately concealing, but as soon as Philip came to power, he pulled out so many moths, which somewhat showed that Ade was too tolerant of these officials when he was prime minister.

In fact, Ade has never been soft on officials who have violated the law and committed crimes, and in the past ten years in office, Ade has personally approved the arrest of more than 50 officials, nearly half of whom have been sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty.

Of course, the officials are also one after the other in this regard, thinking that Emperor Hongwu peeled the skin of countless corrupt officials, but did not stop the officials from going forward and succeeding, Ade is a small thing in this regard.

In fact, during the years that Ade was the prime minister, the economy of southern Africa has grown by leaps and bounds, and many dark sides have been covered by the flowery economic situation.

"The criminal behavior of these officials is actually not serious, it belongs to the kind that can be investigated or not, such as Glinton Cronin, who used his power to benefit his relatives and handed over some municipal projects to the company run by his son, which is actually quite normal, as long as there are no problems with the project, no one will be held accountable under normal circumstances." Roque's gag, in fact, the reason is not so simple, Ade is a very nostalgic person, even if Ade is in office, Roque reports these situations to Ade, it is estimated that Glinton Cronin will not be punished too severely.

Of course, to make a mistake is to make a mistake, and this is irrefutable, and everyone is responsible for their actions.

"And what about Spark-Poran? What's going on with him? Although there was no expression on Ade's face, the gloom in his eyes betrayed him.

Spark Puran was also an official personally promoted by Ade, and his position as police chief was also appointed by Ade himself.

"Spark-Plan's problem is a bit serious, he has an inescapable responsibility for the Freiburg rebellion, and before the Freiburg rebellion, Freiburg Police Chief Tesla reminded Spark-Plan, that the situation in Freiburg should be taken seriously, and Spark-Plan's reaction turned a deaf ear, and the march eventually turned into a riot." Roque was settling accounts after the fall, and Spark-Plane had a few other problems, but none of them were serious compared to Freiburg.

Ade was silent for a long time, and then asked, "How is the situation in Freiburg?" ”

Since ordering the Wehrmacht to blockade Fort Frey, Ade has not asked about the situation in Fort Frey, giving Roque maximum autonomy except for that press conference.

Now that Ade has stepped down, the situation in Freiburg actually has nothing to do with Ade, and Ade has no need to ask at all.

After all, Ade still can't let go of the southern Africa he created.

"The Wehrmacht has taken control of the situation in Freiburg, which is returning to normal." Roque didn't want to say too much, the military had already issued a gag order and no one was allowed to talk about what was going on in Freyburg.

"How many people died?" Ade is unrelenting.

"More than thirty-five thousand—" Roque didn't want to say more, this number was not consistent with what Roque had at first, and Roque didn't know that there were so many people in Freiburg.

In fact, even if he knew, Roque would not change his mind, and the stubborn forces among the Boers basically died in Freiburg, and they should not be able to create large-scale chaos in the future.

Ade was not surprised by this number, from the Second Boer War to the World War, Ade had little feeling for this level of numbers, and the moment Freiburg chose to rebel, they were already enemies of the federal government.

Ade has never been gentle with his enemies, and has always been firm, and killing them is the best way to deal with them.

Roque didn't leave at night, and stayed in Ade's manor to eat with Ade, who was never married and actually lived a lonely life.

Sidney Milner now works next to Roque, but Sidney Milner keeps his wife and children with Ade, which is somewhat of a consolation to Ade.

Also having dinner on the estate was Kitchener.

He was also a lifelong single dog who devoted his life to the British Empire, which he still serves, serving as governor in southern Africa, far from London.

"Old man, don't care, Philip is trying to stand up, not against anyone." Kitchener also knew what was going on in southern Africa during this time.

"I don't care, I'm not a little old man who is attached to power, since I have left the Palace of Justice, I will no longer point fingers at others, so as not to be bored." Ade's mouth is upright, the two old men's stomachs are not very good, and their diet is relatively light, while Roque and Sidney Milner are big fish and meat, completely ignoring the envious eyes of the two old men.

"You two are really excessive, we are eating corn, but you are eating roast chicken, can't you give me a chicken leg?" Kitchener had nothing to do, and Sidney Milner was dumbfounded.

Roque was stunned, tore off the chicken thighs and put them on a plate for Kitchener.

Ade watched coldly.

Roque was dumbfounded, and the other chicken leg was on his own plate, already half eaten.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of ingredients in Ade's manor, and Roque immediately asked the maid to bake another one, old children and old children, and they can't afford to mess with them.

"Southern Africa is indeed a good place, I used to have an uncomfortable nose every winter in London, and I couldn't breathe when it was serious, but now it's much better, Pretoria has fresh air and a beautiful environment, Locke, you should suggest to London to get all those retired officials to come to Pretoria, build a scenic spot for them to retire, so that you will have countless allies." Kitchener had fully appreciated the advantages of southern Africa, and now he would not leave him when he was asked to return to London.

"You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep." Roque didn't have much hope that the major newspapers in London would have stories about southern Africa every now and then, and some people didn't want to believe it anyway.

"That's a good suggestion—" Ade also had chicken thighs on his plate, and even if Ade didn't eat a bite, he was satisfied.

"Have you found a problem, those officials who have been dismissed, and most of their successors are Chinese?" Sidney Milner inadvertently brought it up, only to realize that it was wrong.

This is true, the three officials mentioned above are all Chinese in their successors.

Nearly 12 years have passed since the first batch of graduates graduated from the University of Nyasaland in 1908.

In the first few batches of graduates of the University of Nyasaland, a large part of them entered the federal government at all levels, after more than ten years of training, those ambitious graduates, has become the backbone of the federal government at all levels, Roque also has a relevant statistics in his hand, in the various departments of the federal government, more than half of the departmental and bureau-level units, the proportion of Chinese officials, has exceeded the white officials.

If we take into account the natural advantages that white officials have in promotion, then the proportion of officials of Chinese descent should be higher, and in practice, the performance of Chinese officials is indeed far higher than that of white officials.

Most of the white officials in southern Africa have been in power since Ade was governor-general, and the number of officials of Chinese descent far exceeds that of white officials in the new generation.

Knowing this background, it is not too surprising to see what is happening now.

"The official who succeeded Glinton Cronin as mayor of Pretoria is called Shi Qi, English name is Smith, he first served as the third secretary of the Pretoria City Government, and then successively served as the deputy director of the mayor's office, the deputy director of the internal affairs department, the director of the urban renewal bureau, the director of the finance bureau, when Glinton Cronin was taken away, Shi Qi served as the deputy mayor of Pretoria, and there was never a mistake in his work, and the results are obvious to all, Shi Qi did not have any shady scenes in replacing Glinton Croning, he was more competent than the other two deputy mayors- Oh, by the way, the other two deputy mayors are actually Chinese. "Roque knows everything about Shi Qi's situation, and among the new generation of officials, Shi Qi's performance is indeed very good.

After listening to Roque's words, Kitchener's expression was a little confused, he had been in southern Africa for too short a time, and he did not know enough about the situation in southern Africa.

Ade knows Shi Qi well, and his impression is still very good, after Roque finished speaking, Ade groaned for a while and did not speak.

"Locke, that's not what I meant—" Sidney Milner was overwhelmed, but fortunately he had a good relationship with Roque, and Roque probably wouldn't mind.

"It's okay, Sidney, it's going to be more and more in the future." Roque is confident that as long as it is fair competition, the Chinese will not lose to anyone.
