1088 Five years later

After coming to Nyasaland, Winston unexpectedly found that Roque, the Secretary of Defense, seemed to have a lot of free time, not only had time to accompany Winston to travel all day, but also had time to play with the children to increase their feelings, and even put more energy on business development.

"In addition to me, the Ministry of Defense has three deputy ministers, more than 20 directors and deputy directors, and a small number of directors and deputy directors. Roque is used to being the shopkeeper, the three deputy ministers perform their own duties, and whoever is responsible for the part that goes wrong is the responsibility of whom, and there is indeed not much work that Roque has to deal with personally.

Moreover, in the international environment of southern Africa, looking at the surrounding areas of southern Africa, the Kingdom of Mozambique, the Kingdom of Congo, and the Republic of Congo can be regarded as the subject countries of Southern Africa.

To the north of Victoria is the British East African Protectorate, and like Southern Africa, it is a British overseas territory with no defense needs, and the only hostile area around Southern Africa is Portuguese West Africa, but Portuguese West Africa is definitely in the shadow of Southern Africa, and it is also trembling at the sight of Southern Africa.

So Roque is now drawing his sword and looking around at a loss, but the mood is definitely different from Li Bai, Li Bai is depressed and indignant, Roque has no opponent and seeks defeat alone, so he can't even have an excuse, so he dragged Portuguese West Africa or Madagascar over and beat him.

"No, it's irresponsible!" Winston was also depressed, and when he was prime minister, he was conscientious and walking on thin ice.

"I'm giving full play to the subjective initiative of my subordinates." Roque is rejoicing, Winston is constrained by Congress, but Roque has no scruples, even Ade and Philip don't care about Roque, and others are not qualified to care.

In fact, the key is that there are no problems with the defense of southern Africa, and if there is a problem, then Roque must be duty-bound to go all out.

For example, in recent times, new immigrants from the two river basins have been threatened by Ottoman rebels, businesses in Madagascar have been harassed by local rebels, and African riots against Portuguese colonial rule have also affected businesses in southern Africa.

However, these problems are under control, and they do not cause much harm, and there is no need to deploy the Southern African Defence Force, and the local armed forces can fully deal with it.

It wasn't until the preparation of the film began that Winston realized how troublesome it really was to shoot a movie.

Mainly in communication with the screenwriter and director, Winston wanted to capture his inner panic and struggle during the World War, and finally turned the tide and completed the feat of leading the British Empire to victory over the Central Powers.

The writers and directors can't show the feeling that Winston wants, and there is a huge gap between the Winston in their understanding and the "Winston" in Winston's self-perception.

"Your screenwriting and directing skills are so poor, they simply can't make the 'Winston' I want, either hysterical or cowardly, and I feel like they're going to make me a schizophrenic instead of a prime minister who leads the empire out of the quagmire of war." Winston doesn't know enough about himself, and he doesn't have a clear sense of who he is.

"They haven't been prime ministers, so how can they accurately understand your mental journey." Roque is not surprised that the Nyasaland Film Studio is actually in its infancy, and it is normal for them to come up and give them such a difficult task, and they can't complete it.

"If it's not accurate enough, I'd rather not shoot it." Winston is demanding and does not allow the slightest blemish.

Roque laughed dumbly, the problem is not that the screenwriter and director are not demanding enough, the problem is that Winston is too demanding, or that Winston himself suffers from gains and losses, and he is worried that the movie will not be released to achieve the expected effect.

It's like asking an online writer not to be watery, it's completely unrealistic, think about a book of three or four million words, where did you get so many dry goods if you don't have water, you have to have plot twists and turns, you have to have rich experiences, you have to be full of feelings, and the key is to be prolific-

Those who can do it are immortals!

"Winston, take it easy, you have to give the writers and directors enough trust." Roque has always referred the problem to experts, in fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a movie "Winston" or not, when the British Empire encounters a similar crisis, MPs will naturally think of Winston.

I just don't know if Winston is still willing to save the British Empire again.

Probably will.

Roque is not involved in the filming of "Winston", the election is about to begin, and Roque will stand for Philip this time.

In the last general election, the Progressive Party and the People's Party formed a new party to try to compete with the Liberal Party.

The Liberal Party's advantage was unshakable, and the New Party received less than 10 percent of the vote, and Ade was re-elected.

This time, the Progressive Party and the People's Party tried to win over the Nyasaland Party to form a united front and continue to compete with the Liberal Party, but unfortunately the candidate put forward by the Liberal Party was replaced by Philip, and the Nyasaland Party had no desire, and it is estimated that the Progressive Party and the People's Party will have nothing.

"The Progressive Party and the People's Party simply have no suitable candidates, and those with more prestige have publicly stated that they will not run, and the final candidate is Dr. Starr Jameson." Altman Brewster, a member of Parliament from the Nyasaland Party, took the initiative to report to Roque that the election of members of Parliament has ended, and there are now nine members of Parliament from the Nyasaland Party, and their strength is unprecedentedly high.

"Dr. Starr Jameson isn't dead?" Roque was surprised that the news of Starr Jameson's death was once reported twenty years ago, but he didn't expect Starr Jameson to be alive now.

"No, it's alive and well." Ultraman Brewster is also speechless, but Starr Jameson is also the leader of the Progressive Party, Roque doesn't even know whether Starr Jameson is alive or dead, and if he dies, he will definitely publish an obituary in the newspaper.

Roque nodded, he really didn't know whether Starr Jameson was alive or dead, the Progressive Party was relatively powerful in the Cape, and it was really not enough in Congress, and now it was not even as good as the Nyasaland Party.

It is no wonder that the Progressive Party sought a coalition with the Nyasaland Party, but it was a pity that Roque was indifferent.

"How's Philip's election?" Roque has to care more or less about Philip, no matter how he says it, he is also his own father-in-law.

"All the way is optimistic, unmatched, the only person who can compete with Philip has given up on his own initiative, and no one can shake Philip's advantage." Altman Brewster is also desireless, and it will be difficult for the Nyasaland Party to get ahead in Congress unless Roque quits the Liberal Party and joins the Nyasaland Party.

In fact, the Nyasaland Party is stronger in Congress than it appears on the surface.

In addition to the Liberal Party and the Nyasaland Party, the Progressive Party, and the People's Party, there are a number of other parties in the Southern African Parliament, such as the Labour Party, which is based in Bechuana, and the United Party, which is based in Lorenço Marques, each with two members of Parliament, and these two parties are allies of the Nyasaland Party and can be merged if necessary.

Bechuana, like Lorenzo Marques, has a predominantly Chinese population, and naturally has a natural bias towards partisanship.

If Roque quits the Liberal Party and joins the Nyasaland Party, then there will certainly be a considerable number of Liberal Party members who will follow Roque in advancing and retreating together, and when the Nyasaland Party does not say that it will have a majority in Parliament, if it unites with the Progressive Party and the People's Party, it may not be able to fight hard.

Roque nodded, being prime minister is Philip's obsession, and he has been talking about it for more than ten years.

In the past two years, Philip's health has deteriorated like Ade, after all, he is in his sixties, and he may have problems one day.

In the presidency of the parliament, Philip's performance is still very good, at least he did not cause too much trouble for Ade, and Philip has also contributed to the development of southern Africa so far.

Roque is not making a political deal, even if Philip makes a mistake in the prime minister's office, Roque and Ade will set things right in time, and now in southern Africa, no matter who is the prime minister, it will not affect the momentum of the rise of southern Africa.

"That's good, do your best to help Philip get elected, and don't pay attention to the small actions of the Progressive Party and the People's Party, they can't make a big climate." Roque does not look down on the Progressive Party and the People's Party, after this general election, the Progressive Party has only three seats left in Parliament, and the People's Party has only two left, and perhaps the next general election will see the Progressive Party and the People's Party disappear from southern African politics.

"Actually—we—" Altman Brewster muttered, Roque had no ambitions for the prime minister's position, and that didn't mean that neither did the rest of the Nyasaland party.

Everyone knows that Roque is Ade's chosen successor, and if Philip is not Roque's father-in-law, then Philip has no chance of running for prime minister at all.

The degree of economic development of Nyasaland is second to none in southern Africa, and in the past few years, the Transvaal has been gradually opened by Nyasaland by virtue of its rich natural resources.

In Southern Africa, however, Nyasaland does not enjoy status-commensurate treatment, as is evident in the funding from the Ministry of Education, which has traditionally received the least.

Douglas, the current Minister of Education in Southern Africa, has a good relationship with Roque, and Douglas has no choice at this point, compared with Nyasaland's education, there is a huge gap between other states, Douglas wants a bowl of water, and hopes that Nyasaland can provide appropriate help to other states.

Roque raised his hand to stop Ultraman Brewster from continuing, no matter whether Roque fought or not, after Philip, it would definitely be Roque who would take the position.

Roque is only in his forties now, and there is still time.
