591 Knights

In fact, not only the Ministry of Education, but also the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Justice urgently need to be rejuvenated, and when Southern Africa was established, the Ministry of Defense was also unavailable, and could only use a large number of old officials left over from the colonial era.

With the help of his relationship with the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, Roque established the Army Academy in Nyasaland, and in just two or three years, the shortage of talents has been greatly alleviated.

The situation is actually more serious in the Department of Justice, although the Ministry of Justice has the highest average education level compared to the rest of the federal government, but the independent prosecutors and justices of the Ministry of Justice are too old to remember the various laws enacted by the federal government and the federal states over the years, so they are not able to do their jobs.

Young people who have graduated from the Faculty of Law of the University of Nyasaland can speak to the provisions of the laws of the federal government and the federal states, and even the United Kingdom, and their role in the Ministry of Justice is becoming more and more important, and nine of the eleven directors of the Ministry of Justice are young people under the age of 30, and seven of them are Chinese graduates from the Faculty of Law of the University of Nyasaland.

Jan Smozi has accepted Prime Minister Asquith's invitation, but the news has not yet been announced, and Roque is called over by Ade when he goes to work the next day.

Ade didn't want Roque to be the Minister of Education, but wanted to invite Douglas to be the Secretary of Education.

This decision is a bit unexpected, but it is also reasonable, in terms of qualifications, status, and ability, Douglas is indeed the most suitable candidate, and compared with Roque, Douglas is a professional.

However, this is not a good thing for the University of Nyasaland.

"Yes." Roque can still obey the overall situation, Douglas leaves the University of Nyasaland, and Abu can be on top of the more prestigious and famous, and the establishment of a vice-chancellor in charge of administration will not affect the operation of the University of Nyasaland.

Ade was obviously surprised, and thought that Roque was going to bargain, but he didn't expect Roque to agree so happily.

"Don't look at me like that, Douglas is really the right fit." Roque hopes that everyone around him can develop better, so that Southern Africa will get better and better, and the contrast is really stark with some people in Orange.

"Good." Ade's mood was slightly agitated, but he was still able to suppress it.

"The Ministry of Education is indeed a bit of a mess, and Minister Smoz's ability is fine, but there is a problem with the way people are used, and people can't be put in the right places—" Roque snorted, and then heard Sidney Milner's muffled cough.

As soon as he turned around, Yang Shi Mozi was at the door with an iron face.

"Minister Shi Mozi, long time no see." Luo Ke had already cultivated to the point of invincibility, and greeted him very enthusiastically, as if he didn't say those words just now.

"Lord Nyasaland, long time no see." Yang Shi Mozi still has a demeanor, but if he was someone, he must have turned his face now.

This "someone" does not refer to Roque, but to Henry or Small.

"Sit down Locke, Christian will leave Pretoria for London tomorrow—" Ade was also an old fox, acting as if he didn't know anything about the relationship between Roque and Jan Smuts.

Jan Smoltz's full name is Jan Christian Smoz.

"Congratulations—" Roque smiled, something to celebrate.

"Locke, don't be complacent, I'll watch you in London—" Jan Smozi was not in a high mood, seeing that Roque didn't turn his face when he heard this, and then smiled: "-Before leaving, I have to apologize for the prejudice I have always had against you and the Chinese, Nyasaland is indeed very remarkable, Louis told me about what I saw in Nyasaland, unfortunately, as the Minister of Education, I have never been to Nyasaland, and I hope to have the opportunity in the future." ”

It dawned on Roque that Louis Botha's role was still crucial, and if there was anyone in the federal government who could make Jan Smoltz unreservedly trust, that person would be Louis Botha.

"Don't be like Christian, we're all for a better Southern Africa." Roque is not proud, and Nyasaland is still far from Roque's request.

Regardless of his position, Jan Smotz is really not a bad person, the fundamental reason why Jan Smotz targets Roque everywhere is because of the arrival of the Chinese, squeezing the living space of the Boers step by step, if there is no influx of Chinese, the Transvaal will definitely still be the Transvaal of the Boers, and Jan Smotz and Louis Botha will no longer be marginalized in the federal government.

Therefore, this contradiction is irreconcilable, Roque is to strive for greater living space for the Chinese, and Jan Smozi is also to strive for greater living space for the Boers, but the population base of the Chinese is too large, and the Boers are congenitally insufficient, and this gap cannot be bridged.

"That's right, we're all about making Southern Africa a better place for all of us." Ade seconded it, and Sidney Milner was very clever in pouring everyone a glass, and the wine was so good that it could be drunk without food.

"To the future of Southern Africa—" Jan Smoltz suggested with a glass in his eyes.

"To the future—" Roque and Ade both toasted, and with Jan Smoltz gone, Orange's relationship with southern Africa should enter a new phase.

No matter how sad Jan Smotz's mood is, Jan Smozi can still go to London after leaving Southern Africa, Roque can't go so chic now, as the second generation of Chinese in Southern Africa grows up, more and more young people are beginning to play a more important role.

Hopkins is ill and his recovery is far away, and Roark is now in charge of the Department of Defense, and he has to add more people around him, and in the list provided by Zach, Angel and Barker's son Barton is prominently among them.

Roque didn't care about nepotism, and directly transferred Angel and Barton to his side.

The so-called nepotism will only be criticized if morality is not worthy, Angel and Barton are both graduates of the University of Nyasaland, with excellent graduation grades and excellent performance during work, plus the relationship between Roque and Anton Buck, such people don't need to use those old officials left over from the colonial period?

Don't be funny.

"Stop flying?" Roque and Angel know each other very well, and the tone of the joke is also very casual.

"It's an amateur hobby, I don't want my mother to worry." Angel grew up very fast, and her generation also experienced poverty and famine when they were young, and conditions have only gradually improved in recent years, which is also the early head of the poor children.

Pilot is still a very dangerous profession, with more and more planes in southern Africa, flight accidents are also increasing, Anqi's mother did not agree with Anqi to be a policeman, but Anqi also ran to fly the plane, which made Anqi's mother more worried.

Anton also couldn't stand Anqi's mother's nagging, so he simply sent Anqi to Roque, Roque's position in the hearts of Anqi's generation is irreplaceable, and only Roque can suppress Anqi and their second generation of officials.

Patton's situation is similar, after graduating from the Army Academy, Patton gave up his job at the Ministry of Defense and actually went to the Umbrella Company to become a mercenary, but was sent by Buck to the University of Nyasaland for three years, and just graduated last year.

Barton was also uneasy during his time at school, and led the establishment of an organization called the "Death Knights", whose members were generally radical, and was ruthlessly banned by Douglas, and Barton still bears a major demerit on his body.

"What's the matter with your Death Knights?" Roque was very curious, there is also a Death Knight in the United States, which is the famous Skull and Bones Society, Roque doesn't know what the relationship between this Death Knight organized by Patton and the Skull Society in the United States is, I hope it is just a coincidence.

"I was young and ignorant—" Barton lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Roque, who wasn't very old now.

Roque was not in a hurry, waiting for Barton to continue to explain.

Barton couldn't get away with it, so he was honest: "We established the Death Knights because of Brad, and all of our members wanted to join Brad, but Uncle Zach didn't want us, so we imitated Brad and established the Death Knights-"

Zach is the real big boss of Brad, and not many people know about this in southern Africa.

Brad's appeal among the second generation of Chinese in southern Africa is truly unparalleled, that is, Brad never goes to the University of Nyasaland to recruit people, otherwise almost all students would apply.

"The purpose of our establishment of the Death Knight is to counter the discrimination of those white people against us Chinese, in Nyasaland, Chinese people can coexist peacefully with white people, but outside of Nyasaland, white discrimination against Chinese people is still very common-" Barton was emotional, he and Angel's experience as a child was different, Angel grew up in the Qing Kingdom when she was a child, although life was difficult, but she had no contact with white people, so she didn't feel much discrimination.

Barton grew up in Johannesburg when he was a child, and the social environment at that time showed that white discrimination against Chinese was very serious.

"When I was young, I thought that poverty was the reason why my family and I were discriminated against by white people, and then I realized that we were discriminated against had nothing to do with more money and less money, our skin color was the root cause of our discrimination, look at our southern Africa, the state with a large number of Chinese, the economic situation is getting better and better, but the state composed of white people has not improved much, Orange is almost the same as ten years ago, so we Chinese are the best in the world-" Patton said more and more, and Roque had to raise his hand to stop it.

"Calm down Barton, compared to ten years ago, the situation is already very good, at least no one dares to discriminate against you face-to-face, and it will be better in another ten years, but when I worry that those who are discriminated against will be replaced by white people." Roque was really worried, so how to guide it was really a problem.
