It took Roque to wake up at three o'clock in the morning, and after coming to Europe, this was Roque's most solid sleep.

In other words, coming to this world, this is the most solid sleep that Roque has slept on.

Starting today, everything is different from before.

In the past, although Roque was the Minister of Defense of Southern Africa, the Viscount of the British Empire, and the owner of a large number of enterprises in Nyasaland, Roque did not have much security.

For Britain, Roque has always been an outsider, and as Winston said, what the British Empire gave Roque can be taken at any time.

After the conquest of the Ottoman Empire, no one can extinguish Roque's achievements, and no one can take away Roque's glory.

Yes, someone on the Western Front, that's just you.

The newspaper on Christmas Day was indeed the first mate to advertise the surrender of the Ottoman Empire, and all kinds of praise made Roque simply surprised, he never expected that there were so many words used in English to praise people.

However, it was not Roque's Mediterranean Expeditionary Force that was praised, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs led by Edward Gray, whose first newspapers to Cyprus were published in France, in which the Ottoman surrender was largely due to the efforts of diplomats, as if the diplomats were able to lay down their arms with their incorruptible tongues.

Roque did not deny the efforts of diplomats, after the outbreak of the world war, in order to win over more allies, in order to coordinate the internal relations of the Entente, diplomats worked hard, and indeed played a great role.

Including the surrender of the Ottoman Empire, Roque also admitted that there was a diplomatic element, but if diplomacy was put in the main position, this was really unacceptable to Roque.

The commander of the French army in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force was called Nelson Samuel, who had twenty years of experience in the colonies, and his time in France was not more than half of his time in the colonies.

"Newspaper friends are sometimes naïve—" said Nelson Samuel, who is not enough to explain this.

"These people are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic-" Ian Hamilton is quite pertinent, some people are like that, if they don't do something, they will be sorry for the little power in their hands.

Roque didn't want to say anything, and when he first saw the newspaper, Roque wanted to directly withdraw the three artillery divisions that were still in France.

One can only think about it, and the French newspaper editors are also fearless, they know that the British expeditionary force will not withdraw.

However, they ignore one thing, Roque is not a politician or a military man who only focuses on one field, and if it were someone else, there is almost no way to be ridiculed by the newspapers, after all, France is proud of "freedom" and "democracy", and under these two banners, no matter how absurd things are done, there are reasonable explanations.

Even if they scold in the newspapers, this is their freedom, and this is how many people understand "freedom".

"Send a telegram to Christian, see what he's done, buy a house, buy a farm, is he short of that money now?" Roque has a way to deal with those guys who are clearly discriminatory, but as long as I don't say anything, no one can do anything to me.

"Yes Lord." Angel hehehe, the media people in France are also spoiled, scolding politicians, scolding the government, scolding the army, and scolding addicted, just like the teddy who is in the air every day, they still don't know Roque enough.

The next day, the plane finally delivered the British newspaper, this time it was finally normal, the newspaper was all what Roque wanted to read, and the Prime Minister's New Year's message was squeezed to the second page.

Roque did not have much time to enjoy the joy of victory, after the surrender of the Ottoman Empire, the main forces still in Asia Minor had to be withdrawn, and the garrison troops were stationed in batches, and there was no time to divide the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and the division of the spoils of war would not begin until the end of the world war.

In fact, the relevant preparations have already begun, the surrender of the Ottoman Empire, the end of the frontal battle, and the next question is the management of the occupied areas.

The management issue is not Roque's final say, the 500,000 square kilometers of the Asia Minor Peninsula cannot be all garrisoned by the Southern African Expeditionary Force, Britain, France, Italy, and even Greece and Serbia have to jump out to distribute benefits, Roque's bottom line is the territory of the Two Rivers Basin and the Ottoman Empire in the Arabian Peninsula, and other parts are casual.

Of course, Southern Africa is part of the British Empire, and it is impossible for Roque to make a claim alone, so this request became the appeal of the Sultanate of Najd, which played a great role in the war against the Ottoman Empire, and it was also very surprising that the total population of less than one million could burst out with 100,000 troops.

In the course of the war against the Ottoman Empire, the troops of the Sultanate of Najd suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, which is not a high number, but considering the total number of troops of the Sultanate of Najd, this number is still very staggering.

Of course, there must be gains, although the current occupied areas do not represent the distribution of benefits in the future, but set the tone for the future partition of the Ottoman Empire, after the Sultanate of Najd occupied the two river basins, it would be logical to annex the two river basins after the war, the Russian Empire now occupies Constantinople and the surrounding areas, after the end of the world war, can the Russian Empire still spit out?

This really works, the world war is not over, the Russian Empire no longer exists, and the new leader voluntarily abandoned Constantinople in exchange for peace.

If the tsar knew the news, he could push open the coffin board and jump up, the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire had been fighting for hundreds of years, and the long-awaited Black Sea outlet was easily abandoned, which is really a sigh.

On December 31, Roque was ordered to go to London to attend a joint meeting of the War Department and the General Staff, and Haig would return to London from France.

In London, Roque finally enjoyed the heroic treatment, and Parliament specially invited Roque to speak in Parliament, and before Roque's speech began, the 200 members of Parliament gave a five-minute standing ovation.

"Thank you very much, your enthusiasm has scared me—" Roque had just spoken, when he was interrupted by enthusiastic applause.

Viscount Haldon, the presiding judge, did not maintain order, and looked at Roque with a smile on his face and applauded softly.

Lloyd George was also in the audience, and his face was expressionless when he applauded, if it weren't for the two thousand pounds, Lloyd George would still be the Quartermaster by now, and was appointed by George V to form a cabinet after Asquith stepped down.

Now all this is in vain, Winston rose to prominence after stepping down as Secretary of the Navy, and after becoming Quartermaster General, Winston also carried out drastic reforms of munitions supply, but instead of restricting arms dealers, Winston worked with arms dealers to persuade banks to give arms dealers more loans so that they could expand their production.

Under Winston's rectification, the logistics supply of the British Expeditionary Force is on the right track, which must be indispensable to the cooperation of the largest arms supplier of the Entente countries, Lloyd George has now figured out how he was ousted, and now the enemy is in front of Lloyd George, but Lloyd George is helpless.

Lloyd George was ranked third in the list of greatest prime ministers mainly because Lloyd George transformed Britain into a welfare society during his tenure.

Roque is not against social welfare, which is also practiced in southern Africa, and Nyasaland's social welfare is second to none even in the whole of southern Africa.

But the social welfare in southern Africa, unlike the social welfare advocated by Lloyd George, is to help the disadvantaged, but the help is limited, not directly to give money, but to help solve temporary living difficulties, new immigrants who have just arrived in southern Africa really want to turn over, mainly rely on their own efforts, don't expect pie in the sky.

As for the farmers who have returned to poverty because of certain vices, the governments at all levels in southern Africa have not even bothered to hand out handouts, and it is true that there are some people who will not get rich no matter how much the government helps.

Even if they are materially rich, they are still spiritually barren, and such people cannot play the slightest positive role in society, but become a pain point for the whole society.

"When I was appointed commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force at the beginning of the year, I am sure that all of you were as anxious as I was, worried about whether I could lead the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force to victory over the Ottoman Empire and win the final victory - now I can proudly say that we have all made the right choice-"

There was even more enthusiastic applause, and there were even parliamentarians whistling, their voices high-pitched and melodious.

This is Congress, you are all well-dressed and decent people, and whistles are the only things that can be found in the halls of Parliament.

But at this time, no one cared about this detail, the parliamentarians probably applauded and slapped, and the applause gradually turned into the sound of slapping the table, and it was very rhythmic, and the glass was clattering.

"I remember my first month as commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, and I had no more than three hours of rest every night, and all I could think about was how to capture the Dardanelles, especially when the Anzac was stuck on the beachhead, and now that place is called 'Anzac Bay', thanks to the bloody fight of the Anzac, you sacrificed for the victory, and everyone will remember you, without your efforts, there would be no victory now-" Roque began to give a victory speech, as is customary, It's to thank everyone.

It's very simple, anyway, it's obedient and doesn't cost money, and everyone carries the sedan chair.
