1089 Tricky

In every general election, there will always be bulls, snakes, ghosts and gods who come out of nowhere and make some strange remarks that they don't know what to call in an attempt to gain people's attention.

This past weekend, too, a professor at the University of Good Hope publicly questioned the lack of transparency in the federal government's election methods, hoping to change the current electoral system to universal suffrage, and expand the number of members of Congress to give more seats to the Cape State and increase the state's voice.

Regardless of whether this proposal is right or wrong, increasing the number of seats in the Cape State will cause dissatisfaction among other states, and the federal government will inevitably have to increase the number of seats in other states in order to balance the other states.

It cannot be said that it is meaningless, the professor at the University of Good Hope organized a party called the "Civic Party" on his own, and in the parliamentary general election just past, the "Civic Party" won nothing and did not win a seat in the parliament.

The professor probably thinks that if the number of seats in the Diet is increased, then the "Civic Party" may have a chance.

In fact, it is all an illusion, even if the seats belonging to the Cape State are increased, the newly added seats will be divided between the Liberal Party and the Progressive Party, and there is nothing to do with the Civic Party at all.

As the general election approached, there was another problem in Orange, and some people attacked the federal government under the pretext of the tragedy of "Freyburg", believing that the federal government was carrying out a systematic massacre of Boers in southern Africa, as evidenced by the rumor that at least 200,000 people in Freiburg had died in the Wehrmacht blockade.

This is actually nonsense, there were about 15,000 people in Freiburg, and the population of the city was about 25,000 when it was blocked, and the Wehrmacht imposed a three-month blockade on Freiburg, and when the Wehrmacht entered Freiburg, there were less than 3,000 people left in Freiburg.

"What about the other 22,000?" Ade has a solemn expression, in recent months, the federal government has issued a gag order, but the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, the gag order not only did not achieve the goal, but led to all kinds of rumors flying all over the sky, one time some people said that more than 100,000 people died in Freiburg, some people said that the Wehrmacht launched an armed attack on Freiburg, and some people said that the League of Nations had intervened, and after finding out the truth about Freiburg, it would punish southern Africa.

Speaking of which, it was Ade's order for the Wehrmacht to march into Freiburg, and Ade was about to leave his post and was unwilling to leave the Freiburg problem to Philip to solve, preferring to take responsibility for himself and be willing to gamble his honor for Freiburg.

"Most of them are dead, these are extreme Boers, have always been hostile to the federal government, since our government Boers, some Boers have refused to cooperate with the federal government, at the beginning they asked for money every day, and then the federal government stopped giving money, and they were the ones who gathered to make trouble, every time there was a little trouble, these people would make waves, they have become the biggest hidden danger in southern Africa, this time I was ready to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Roque doesn't want Ade to take the blame, it should be his own responsibility, and Roque will not shirk it.

Ade was silent for a long time, and Roque's purpose Ade could understand, but Roque's method was still debatable in Ade's opinion.

"Sidney, prepare a press conference, and I'm going to explain to the media in person what's going on in Freiburg." Ade finally made up his mind and asked Roque to attend the press conference with him by name, but asked Roque not to answer any questions.

"You are the future of Southern Africa, I am already old, let me bear these infamy, I still hope to leave you a cleaner Southern Africa." Ade really didn't have anything to say to Roque, and his own son could only do that.

As the status of Southern Africa has become more and more important, mainstream media from all over the world have branches in Southern Africa, and most of them are concentrated on a street next to the Palace of Justice, which is called News Street.

Sidney Milner was still efficient, and two hours later, the press conference was held in the press conference room of the Palace of Justice, attended by Ade and Roque, who was in the uniform of the marshal.

"- This is the way it is, some rebels gathered in Fort Frey, kidnapped the whole city, the Wehrmacht did not have my authorization to use force to solve the problem, they could only blockade Fort Frey, now the Wehrmacht has taken control of the situation, is cleaning up the ruins of Fort Frey, counting the damage, the situation in Fort Frey has been effectively controlled." Ade took all the responsibility on himself, and the emaciated back at this moment was extremely tall in Roque's eyes.

When it came time for free questions, Sidney Milner gave the first opportunity to Carl Ryan, a senior editor at The Times.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, my question is how the Freiburg people were identified as rebels, whether they were clearly attacking the positions of the Wehrmacht, whether the Wehrmacht suffered casualties in the process, and how many died in the disaster? Thank you—" Carl Ryan frowned, this manuscript is not easy to write, and if you are not careful, you will offend many people.

Although Ade wants to take the blame on himself, with the relationship between Roque and Ade, if Carl Ryan does this, then Roque will definitely be angry.

The same is true for other newspapers, in the face of capital predators like Roque, feudal officials, and marquis of the British Empire, any identity must be cautious for these newspapers.

If you dare to scribble in the newspapers, it will be easy for the federal government to disqualify these newspapers from covering southern Africa, and for the newspapers, it will be tantamount to a catastrophe.

"After the death of Minister Louis Botha due to illness, in Freiburg there were people who used rallies to walk against the extreme rhetoric of the federal government, and then the situation deteriorated further, they attacked the city government, killed city officials, including the police chief, and laid siege to the police station in an attempt to seize the heavy weapons stored in the police station - the Freiburg City Police Department must be commended for their devotion to their duties and did not back down even in the most difficult times, Nearly 1,000 righteous citizens have escaped this disaster because of the protection of the police department, and I will award medals to each of them, and they deserve the honor and reward they deserve. Ade was extremely tough, and Roque seemed to see the governor of southern Africa who had killed decisively during the Boer War.

That's right, the reporter who attended the press conference only remembered at this time that the famous god of killing in front of him was provoked by Ade.

It was precisely because of Ade's quick decision that the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State were annexed by southern Africa, and southern Africa began to enter the fast lane.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am a reporter from the Daily Mail, and my question is, is there any expectation for this general election that is coming, and is there anything you would like to say about the new Prime Minister-" The reporter of the Daily Mail is also his own person, and the question is naturally not too excessive.

"I hope that southern Africa will get better and better, and whoever is elected, I hope that he will lead southern Africa forward-" Ade was reluctant to talk about the issue, no matter what he said it was not appropriate, and Philip was not a child, so he didn't need Ade to teach him how to be prime minister.

"Lord Hellwood, I'm a reporter for the Nyasaland Evening News, and our newspaper has just done a social survey, and 90 percent of the respondents want you to stay in Southern Africa after you leave office, preferably to stay and settle in Nyasaland, will you leave Southern Africa then?" Sidney Milner doesn't give anyone else, like a reporter for a French newspaper, who pretends not to see even if he puts his hand up to the ceiling.

"Of course, I will continue to stay in Southern Africa-" Ade's face finally smiled, the last time Ade stepped down as Governor of Southern Africa, he left Southern Africa for a time and returned to London, and then he made a cold bench, and now Ade will not find himself awkward, it is good to stay in Southern Africa: "-I have been in Southern Africa for 23 years since 1897, I was not yet 50 years old when I came to Southern Africa, and I am 70 years old in a blink of an eye—and now I can proudly say that I have lived up to the Queen's trust, I will of course stay in Southern Africa, I will not leave this land again, I hope to live on this land for the rest of my life—and when I retire, I am ready to walk around, to see, and of course to Nyasaland. ”

Ade has a strong heart and does not have much attachment to the prime minister's position, he has done everything he can.

The press conference routinely answered only three questions, but Ade made an exception this time, and the fourth question did not ask Sidney Milner to call the reporter of Le Figaro.

During the World War, when Roque was commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, he had an unhappy relationship with Le Figaro.

Several reports of Le Figaro at that time made Roque so angry that Roque almost bought Le Figaro outright.

Eventually, thanks to the intervention of the French government, the Times News Group's takeover of Le Figaro was unsuccessful.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am a journalist from the French newspaper Le Figaro-" The reporter of Le Figaro was full of gratitude, and if it were not for Ade's initiative to name him, he would never have had the opportunity to ask questions: "-Your Excellency Prime Minister, my question is whether Lord Matilda's candidacy is the result of internal discussions within the Liberal Party, and whether there is any suspicion of insider dealing?" My second question is that the public is interested in the situation in Freiburg, when will the federal government allow journalists to travel freely to the Freiburg area to cover interviews, or rather, will never open interviews in Freiburg—"

Sidney Milner has a reason not to point out him, and these two questions, one more difficult than the other.
