438 Stubbornness

Pretoria is the political capital of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, and it is also the capital of the Transvaal, Philip and Ade's official residences are in Pretoria, as far as Pretoria is concerned, Philip has more say in many matters than Ade, and the county officials are really not as good as the current management, which is determined by the national conditions of the federal government.

In this form of structure of the federal government, the central government really has little binding power on local governments, such as Nyasaland, which is still Roque's private domain, and the central government does not even have the power to appoint officials, and Roque can say all the affairs of Nyasaland.

The same goes for the Transvaal, although Ade is the Prime Minister of the Federal Government, but in matters related to the Transvaal, Philip, the governor, has the greatest decision-making power, and Ade can give Philip advice at most, as for whether to listen to it, it depends on Philip's attitude, if Philip does not agree with Ade's decision on something related to the Transvaal, then Ade can't do anything.

Of course, this does not mean that local governments can do whatever they want, now the federal government also has its own "Constitution", the first article of the "Constitution" is that all members of the federal government must take the initiative to maintain national unity, if there are differences between the central and local governments in local affairs, then everyone can sit down and talk, the central government respects the rights of local governments, and local governments must also maintain the authority of the central government.

It must be said that Ida is obviously more conscious than Roque and other officials in Nyasaland in terms of safeguarding the interests of the central government, and Sidney Milner has just proposed that the RAND Bank will let some of the graduates be relinquished, and Ida immediately readily agrees to let Michael Nichols come up with all the lists for Sidney Milner to choose, which simply moved Sidney Milner to tears.

"The situation of the RAND Bank is not bad, and this batch of graduates will have to start from the grassroots level after they go to the RAND Bank, and they should be able to play a greater role in the federal government." That's how Ida explained it to Roque.

In southern Africa, the human resources of the RAND Bank can be said to be the most abundant, and Roque was also struggling when he prepared the RAND Bank, and had to start with a farm cooperative.

After all, Ida still has a French background, the French banking industry is actually not weaker than the British banking industry, the competition is fierce and cruel, and there are many people jumping off the building in the Financial City of Paris.

"That's good, just don't affect the development of RAND Bank-" Roque only had the opportunity to be alone with Ida after the awards ceremony.

In fact, it's not like being alone, and Ida is walking around now, and she also has to take Jessica's little oil bottle with her.

One-year-old Jessica's big watery eyes were clear and smart, sitting in the stroller and looking left and right, obviously curious about the scenery on the shores of Xuanji Lake.

Xuanji Lake is actually the lagoon of Lake Nyasa, which used to be a part of Lake Nyasa, and later divided into two parts because of the movement of the earth's crust, Xuanji City was built on the delta between Lake Nyassa and Lake Xuanji, where it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is flat, and the environment is beautiful.

With so much money thrown down, the effect must be obvious, there is now a road around the lake around Xuanji Lake, and there is a park along the lake near the side of Xuanji City.

When Luo Ke built Xuanji City, it was a high standard and strict requirements, and the pavement in the entire Xuanji City has been hardened, so the air is very fresh, and it is still very refreshing to walk on the sidewalk along the lake park.

When Roque was building the park along the lake, he once considered planning the entire park along the lake according to the traditional garden art of the East, but in the end Roque found that the cost of using the traditional garden art of the East to plan the park along the lake was a bit high, so that Roque could not afford it, so Roque lowered the standard and built the current park along the lake.

In fact, it has not decreased much, the park near the University of Nyasaland is still planned according to the traditional oriental garden art, after the completion of the course, it is beautiful, belongs to the essence of the park along the lake, and the park in other areas is much simpler, after the ground is paved with lawn, some benches and other public facilities are set up next to the sidewalk, and then there are various century-old trees transplanted from all over Nyasaland, and occasionally there are some celebrity sculptures, but it also adds a lot of humanistic atmosphere.

In fact, the park should be like this, the grass is for people to play and rest, not to put up a "no trampling on the lawn" sign for people to see.

There are many citizens resting on the lawn of the park along the lake, and several teenage children are playing football, and one child accidentally kicks the football into the lake, which attracts the collective criticism of several other peers, and after the criticism, they have to find a way to fish the football out of the lake.

There were a lot of onlookers around, and everyone was a little accustomed to it, happily watching the excitement, and no one went to help.

"It's good, I really hope that one day, Nyasaland will be a paradise on earth everywhere-" Ida couldn't help it, most of the citizens of Xuanji City had something to do with the University of Nyasaland, and everyone's quality was still relatively high, if it were to be changed to other places, it might not be so harmonious.

"Take your time, in fact, the prosperity of Nyasaland also has hidden dangers, we are the northernmost point of southern Africa, it is too close to the border, it is better to push the border fifty kilometers north - no, it is better to be a hundred kilometers." At this time, Roque was still obsessed with Nyasaland's expansion.

In fact, the location of Xuanji City is still very good, unlike Xuanwu City, Xuanji City is more than 500 kilometers away from the border line between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, and the middle is the Kingdom of Mozambique, and the scum still regards himself as Roque's servant, so he will not fight the idea of Xuanji City at all.

"It's easy, just annex Zanzibar-" Ida didn't feel anything wrong, and was still on the side to help with ideas, the two were indeed a match made in heaven.

"It's not a chance yet, we have to wait—" Roque is not in a hurry, when the First World War breaks out, Roque will solve all the current problems together.

Roque still had time to wait, and some were already burned.

Jan Smoltz had a bit of a difficult time during this time, although the British Board of Education had launched an evaluation of the University of Nyasaland, but this assessment had nothing to do with Jan Smoltz, and if there was no telegram from Ade, God knows how long it would have been before the British Board of Education would have remembered the University of Nyasaland.

Therefore, the newspapers and magazines in southern Africa have not abated in the slightest in the recent period of criticism of the federal government's Ministry of Education, and there is no doubt that Jan Smoz, the Minister of Education, is the target of the fire.

"—The Ministry of Education can no longer be described as lazy, and the arrogance of the University of Nyasaland fully reflects the dereliction of duty of some people in the Ministry of Education, who should be brought to trial, and the current Ministry of Education is simply unable to provide qualified services to the people of Southern Africa, and should allow more qualified, capable, and responsible people to sit in that position—" Hilton Becky read the newspaper in a lower and lower voice, gradually becoming inaudible.

Hilton Becky was Jan Smotz's secretary, Jan Smotz's aide-de-camp during the Boer War, and now at the Federal Ministry of Education, where he also served as Chief of the Finance Section.

"Keep reading—" Yang Shi Mozi's face was expressionless, the coffee in front of him had turned cold, and Yang Shi Mozi didn't move a sip.

"Minister, we can't continue to be passive-" Hilton Becky simply put away the newspaper, in fact, Hilton Becky had already had reservations just now, and chose to skip some of the more sensitive words when he read them, otherwise Yang Smozi estimated that his attitude would not be so calm.

"If you want to read it, you will read it!" Yang Shi Mozi's expression was gloomy, and he grabbed the arm of the chair with his bruised hand, exposing Yang Shi Mozi's heart.

There was a knock at the door, and before Hilton Becky could open the door, Louis Botha pushed the door open.

"Mr. Minister—" Hilton Becky was respectful, and among the Boers, Louis Botha was still very prestigious.

Louis Botha nodded lightly to Hilton Becky, then raised his hand to let Hilton Becky leave temporarily, and looked back at Jan Smoth, who had closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, Louis Botta sighed imperceptibly.

"Gianni, you should make a statement as soon as possible, you can't go on like this." Louis Botha is always concerned about the situation of Jan Smoltz, and the current federal government has only two Boer ministers, Louis Botta and Jan Smoltz, and of course Louis Botta will not sit idly by.

"It's okay, I'd love to see how far they can go." Jan Smozi doesn't think there's a need for a response, at least not right now.

"Janney, this is not a time of war, Orange is already a member of the federal government, and whatever we do, we must take into account the overall interests of the federal government." Louis Botha is still bitter, and compared to Louis Botha, Jan Smuts is indeed too extreme many times.

"Louis, I really regret it now, I should have died in Fort Magali instead of living to the humiliation of those villains!" This passage from Jan Smozi finally truly reflects his heart.

During the Boer War, Jan Smoltz commanded the Boer coalition with Delarey in the Battle of Fort Magali and launched an attack on the British Expeditionary Force.

"Gianni, I said, this is not a time of war, the federal government has the rules of the game of the federal government, if you don't adapt to the federal government, then you will be eliminated by the federal government." For such a stubborn Jan Smozi, Louis Botha is also helpless.
