The successive violent incidents have caused the Belgian government to take care of one thing and the other, and no one expected that Nyasaland's retaliation would come so quickly and completely, leaving no bottom line at all.

The crux of the matter is that Nyasaland's retaliation is not to send mercenaries into the Belgian Congo to attack those low-level soldiers and businessmen, but to directly target the spearhead of retaliation at the decision-makers who used to be high-ranking in the past, which is really unacceptable to the Belgian government.

"Locke, stop, if you continue, then even I will be in trouble." Frank has applied to the mainland to close the War Office's base in Nyasaland, and whether the value of the base is still there is not to mention, Frank now feels more and more that Nyasaland is a whirlpool, and if he continues to stay here, Frank will be killed by Roque sooner or later.

"Don't worry Frank, if you don't want to stay in the War Office, you're always welcome in Nyasaland." Roque immediately extended an olive branch, Frank is still very capable, there are many such officials in the country, the British government is not rare, and Roque still needs it very much.

"I don't dare stay in Nyasaland, you're going to kill us all sooner or later." Frank was simply speechless, and directly wooed an imperial official in person, and Roque was too much.

Roque smiled in the face of accusations, and Roque was not stupid, otherwise Roque would not have stared at the Belgians and would not have provoked the Germans at all.

I really can't afford to provoke, although in Africa, Germany's strength is still very weak, but Germany itself is still very strong, if Roque sends the Yao people into Tanganyika to make trouble, the Tanganyika government will probably not be able to hold on, but in that case, Roque will have to face reinforcements from Germany next, maybe he will steal chickens and rice.

Belgians are different, compared with Germany, Belgium has a lot of domestic problems, the royal family and the government tear each other down, the contradictions between the traditional aristocracy and the emerging bourgeoisie cannot be reconciled, the people urgently need to change, the army is weak and powerless, in this case, the Belgian government can stabilize the domestic situation is already very good, and it also thoroughly digests the Belgian Congo, I am afraid that the Belgian government does not have that good appetite.

"Listen to my Locke, don't go any further, the 'Two Cs' plan cannot be completed overnight, the more aggressive you behave, the more feared it will be, the Transvaal is about to implement a democratic representative system, you should return to the Transvaal now." Frank continued to persuade, and this passage spoke to Roque's heart.

Regardless of whether Roque likes Jan Smoltz or not, this person is indeed quite capable, even without the cooperation of Winston and Neville, Jan Smoltz is very likely to persuade the British government to agree to the implementation of a democratic representative system in Orange, and now with Roque's covert operation, Jan Smoltz has completed more smoothly, and London has agreed to Jan Smoltz's request with almost no conditions.

This year (1904) was a general election year, and there was also a general election in Britain itself, and the Liberal Party faced a direct challenge from the Conservative Party, and the social status of the Boers in southern Africa became the main excuse for the Conservative Party to attack the Liberal Party.

In the Cape's recent general election, most Boers did not get the right to vote, but even so, Dr. Starr Jameson's Progressive Party struggled to win.

Although he won the election, it is likely that Dr. Starr Jameson will no longer be able to assume the position of prime minister, and the election is a very draining matter, and Dr. Starr Jameson needs to be hospitalized because of his physical discomfort after winning the election.

This time it wasn't feigning illness, Dr. Starr Jameson was really sick.

In the face of the Conservatives' attacks, the Liberals tried to justify their efforts to prove that the Liberals had made no mistake in southern Africa with the reconstruction process of the Transvaal.

It is hard to say whether mistakes were made, but London was indeed tired of Orange, so Jan Smoltz got the democratic representative system he wanted with little effort.

For the same reason, the Transvaal was also granted permission to implement democratic representation, but not now, but two years later, in 1906, when Ade's first term was over.

So Roque is still in Nyasaland and is in no hurry to return to the Transvaal.

"What are you doing back to the Transvaal? Training the new 1st Cavalry Division? Hehe, I'm afraid that after the reorganization of the new 1st Cavalry Division, I will be kicked back to Nyasaland. "Roque complained half-truthfully, and it is impossible to say that there is no resentment in his heart.

At this point, Frank has no say, so Frank can only helplessly spread his hands.

Don't look at Roque's toughness to Frank, but in retrospect, Roque still informed Anton to temporarily stop operations in Belgian Congo and Belgium.

Now the Belgian government should fully understand Roque's bottom line and believe that the Belgian government will give Roque a reasonable compensation result.

Roque's attention during this time was no longer on the Belgian Congo, but on Barker's adjustment to Nyasaland.

In the past, Nyasaland was structurally ambiguous, nominally the Nyasaland Agricultural Corporation and the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Corporation controlled everything in Nyasaland, and all farms, factories, schools, railways, port facilities, etc., all fell under the management of the two companies.

This avoided London's interference in Nyasaland to a certain extent, but it also caused structural chaos in Nyasaland to a certain extent, and in Barker's view, Nyasaland is now a huge freak that needs to be restructured, so during this time Buck has been discussing with Roque how to adjust Nyasaland.

"It is necessary to form a government, Nyasaland has a growing population, a larger territory, and a stronger and stronger country, and it is no longer appropriate to continue to use companies for management, although' Corporate accountability is now widespread, but it has proven that corporate accountability is not beneficial to local development, and democratic representation will be implemented in the Transvaal and Orange in two years, Johannesburg will probably be implemented within this year, and Nyasaland can now adopt democratic representation, which may not be the best way, but it is acceptable to many. Buck also knows the disadvantages of democratic representation, but the current democratic representative system is the best option.

The view of the British government is that the Transvaal and Orange should choose a pilot project within the year to try to implement the democratic representative system, and then decide on the specific implementation time of the democratic representative system according to the results.

Based on the current situation in the Transvaal and Orange, Johannesburg has a good chance of becoming a pilot city.

"Barker, don't expect too much from the democratic representative system, although this is an improvement compared with colonial rule, but the difference is almost the same, jumping from one mud pit to another, looking at the elections in Cape Town some time ago, and then looking at the farce of the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, after the implementation of the democratic representative system, basically we have to focus more on pulling and balancing, which will seriously affect normal work." In Roque's view, the democratic representative system is just a springboard for Roque, and Roque's ultimate goal is to get back on the right track.

This springboard refers to the future Federation of South Africa, Roque and Henry, Xiao Si, and Buck have discussed this topic many times, and in the future, Nyasaland and Rhodesia will definitely join the Federation of South Africa, but once the time is ripe, the Transvaal, Nyasaland and Rhodesia will all withdraw from the Federation of South Africa and form a new country, which is Roque's ultimate goal.

"So how should Nyasaland change and maintain the current situation?" Buck knew Roque's long-term goals, but the problem was that far water could not quench his thirst, and in Buck's view, Nyasaland's problems had reached a point where they had to be solved.

Roque doesn't think the problem is so serious, most of the Chinese in Nyasaland have not received much education, and they can't be given too much freedom, otherwise once some guys with ulterior motives secretly instigate, then it will have a serious impact on Nyasaland, so Roque agreed that a clear government should be formed, but the democratic representative system, forget it.

Countless experiences have proved that the democratic representative system is not the best way to solve the problem, and the reason why the democratic representative system is now sought after is because all countries in the world have seen the development of the United States, so they will try to replace the current constitutional monarchy in Europe with the democratic representative system.

Both systems are deeply problematic.

"Set up a management committee, it's similar to the model in Ziwei Town, you come to be the chairman of this committee, and the management committee implements a collective responsibility system, and it will run for a period of time first." Roque is not worried, Nyasaland is Roque's fiefdom, Roque has absolute authority in Nyasaland, and even if there is a problem with the management committee, Roque can directly adjust it.

Compared with the democratic representative system, the biggest advantage of the management committee is that it does not need the whole society to participate in the election, so it reduces a lot of reasons for ridicule, and the members do not need to curry favor with certain groups of voters for the sake of votes, many social problems are caused by this "vote", no matter what kind of system is implemented, in essence, it is the elite class that leads the society forward, and it is not impossible for the people at the bottom to participate, first strive to become the elite, and then there is an opportunity to participate.

Of course, the way to become an elite is definitely not by mouth, there must be corresponding strength support, this "strength" at present, the most intuitive manifestation is wealth.
