271 Pit to one counts one
Adrian Simon came to Roque for the trial that was about to begin.
Roque is sharpening his knives, Harry Alsop is of course very clear, in the past, Harry Alsop may not care, but now it is not possible, Johannesburg is about to implement a democratic representative system, and in two years the entire Transvaal will be implemented, if Roque is really allowed to build momentum, then two years later, maybe Harry Alsop will be driven out of the Transvaal.
No, not maybe, but certainly, you don't even need to wait until two years later, this election will be inspected in London, and if it is not good, Harry Alsop will not wait to leave office.
Harry Alsop is shameless, and the British Empire is shameless.
"Lord Nyasaland, Lord Mahunes hopes that this matter will be resolved peacefully, and before he arrives, Lord Mahunles has dissolved the National Party and sent His Excellency Henry Alsop back to London—" Adrian Simon's expression was sincere, his voice was moderate in speed and in a moderate volume, and he felt very comfortable, he was a very good communicator: "Although it may seem a little late, this is a good sign, Lord Mahanles has shown his kindness, Lord Nyasaland, please consider it seriously." ”
Dissolve the National Party!
If it weren't for Roque's incompetence in the National Party, Roque would have almost believed it.
Of course, Roque didn't want the National Party to be dissolved, so the pile of things that Roque asked Ada to buy would be useless, and as for sending Henry Alsop back to London, it was not to calm things down at all, but just to keep Henry Alsop out of the limelight.
"Mr. Simon, I'm sorry, I'm not the judge, it's not up to me to decide whether Gabby George is going to be tried or not, why don't you go to Lord Matilda? If Lord Matilda agrees, then the matter is easy to settle. "Roque threw an old man at Adrian Simon with a backhand, Roque is an expert at fighting and killing, this kind of thing, Roque is really not good at it.
"Lord Nyasaland, the friendship of a lieutenant governor deserves it, you are not enemies between you, and you certainly do not want your relationship to be ruined." Adrian Simon was still calm and did not lose his temper.
"If someone had told me that a month ago, I would have been glad I did." Roque went back casually, what the hell, I only remembered to play this set when the disaster came, why did I go earlier?
"It's not too late, don't be too busy refusing yet, Lord Nyasaland, think about it, and give each other a chance." Adrian Simon doesn't talk nonsense, if he continues to talk about it, he may quarrel, and Adrian Simon ended decisively.
Seeing Adrian Simon leave, Roque turned around and faced Xiao Si with no anger.
"Something! Don't look at what he says nicely now, why didn't he do anything before? These are crocodile tears, and I don't believe that if I let him go this time, I will be okay in the future. "Roque is not stupid, the chairman said it well: it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to become famous and learn from the overlord.
"I know Henry Alsop is excessive, but if you kill them all, it's also excessive." Xiao Si wore a casual style hunting suit, very similar to the coat of the Northern Division of Rhodesia, but the belt around his waist was an ornament, and the position was a little higher, so he still looked quite energetic.
"Then you mean that I should give up this opportunity and stop killing Henry Alsop, so that after a while, Henry Alsop will be able to come back and continue to disgust me." Roque generally wears military uniforms, and usually does not wear military ranks.
By the way, Roque's current military rank is Major General, and in the Transvaal military, he is only one level lower than Henry's father-in-law, General Hopkins.
After the Boer War, Hopkins was promoted to lieutenant general, the only lieutenant general in the entire southern African region.
"Don't say it so ugly, you know, this is an unspoken rule among nobles, don't kill them all unless you have to, because you never know how many allies the other party has." Although Xiao Si is not a nobleman, he is also clear about this matter between nobles.
This is the most disgusting thing between the nobles, you have to pay attention to a gentleman's demeanor in everything, and you can ask someone to replace you when you duel, and the result is the decay of the entire class.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what the unspoken rules are, no one reminded me when the king made me a baron, I only know that as a former police chief, if someone breaks the law, then he will be punished, although I know that some people may not be punished for some reason, but this is not a reason for us to do nothing." Roque's mouth is also ruthless, white people don't talk about fairness and justice at every turn, so let's talk about fairness and justice, if the person who was killed was black, it would be fine, but now it is a white person who is killed, can it be so easy to fool the past?
In the words of a bit of a virgin: it was a living life, and he had a wife, children, and elderly parents waiting for him.
"Locke, you know what I mean." Xiao Si is a little broken, everyone knows the truth, but the actual operation is another matter.
British laws, to put it bluntly, were formulated by the aristocracy to regulate the behavior of other classes and safeguard the interests of the aristocracy.
"I know Cecil, but believe me, after the democratic representative system, some people will definitely be eliminated, although I don't like the democratic representative system, but this system also has its advantages, for people like Henry Alsop, in fact, the democratic representative system is very good." Although Roque does not like democratic representative system, since democratic representative system exists, then there must be a reason for existence.
"Of course you like the democratic representative system, the Chinese in Johannesburg only trust you, and can only trust you, so in the future, you may have more power than the governor, and Mr. Milner can be regarded as a cocoon-" Xiao Si's expression was a little complicated, and it is estimated that he only remembered now that the reason why the Chinese were able to enter the Transvaal on a large scale also had a lot to do with the demand for labor from the De Beers Unified Mining Company.
There are still a lot of Chinese workers in De Beers Unified Mining Company, and some of them already have farms in Johannesburg, but because the contract with De Beers Unified Mining Company has not been fulfilled, they still have to mine in De Beers Unified Mining Company.
Xiao Si must be qualified as a capitalist, the workers of the De Beers Unified Mining Company, if they want to terminate the contract with the company, they have to pay a large amount of compensation, and it is true that some workers would rather pay high compensation and run their own farms, and most of the workers are still reluctant to pay this money, so they can only survive in the De Beers Unified Mining Company.
"I definitely don't like it, so Nyasaland will never have a democratic representative system." Roque flatly denied that accepting it does not mean liking it, Nyasaland is Roque's fiefdom, and Roque will not engage in a democratic representative system in Nyasaland.
Costly!
"Well, although I can't tell you, I still hope that you will consider improving your relationship with Lord Mahunlais, and believe me, Lord Matilda will think the same way." Xiao Si said bitterly, still hoping that Roque would change his mind.
"What good did Henry Alsop give you?" Roque was a little curious, to let Xiao Si work so hard as a lobbyist, Henry Alsop must pay a lot of price.
"Nope!" Xiao Si also decisively denied it, but his expression was slightly unnatural.
Roque doesn't ask, who can not have a little secret, Xiao Si in addition to Roque's side, also has his social circle, and it is normal to have any unsavory transactions.
What Roque didn't expect was that Philip did the same as Xiao Si said, and decided to stop the public trial of Gabby George before the election began.
Roque was very dissatisfied and didn't say anything in front of Philip, and in retrospect, it was Owen who explained to Roque why Philip did this.
"The general election is about to start, no matter what, the election is the most important thing, you also know that London will send people over then, if we attack each other, then the democratic representative system may change, so we can't take any risks, wait, there should be a chance in the future." Owen convinces Roque with righteousness.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that, do you think London wants to see a quiet and peaceful Johannesburg? No, a chaotic Johannesburg, or a chaotic Transvaal, or even a chaotic southern Africa, is in London's interest, because then southern Africa cannot break away from London's control, and London needs to be in the middle to reconcile the contradictions. Roque's opinion is the opposite of Irving's.
Even Roque can imagine why London would agree to the democratic representative system of the Transvaal and Orange, because the Transvaal and Orange have irreconcilable fundamental contradictions, and such the Transvaal and Orange, even if they are autonomous, are not a threat to the British Empire, but can only become part of the internal supply chain of the British Empire.
"No, no, no, at least not now, we all need some faith, and you don't have to worry at all, my father didn't say that he wouldn't try Gabby George, he just postponed the trial, and as long as Gabby George is still in our hands, Harry Alsop will have to be honest." Philip is not stupid, he will definitely not abandon his martial arts, but only postpone, not completely terminate.
"Well, if that's the case, then I'm fine." What Roque said was to ensure Gabby George's safety, and now Gabby George is in the Umbrella Company, claiming that he is still receiving treatment in Ziwei Hospital, and the pit that Roque dug has not caught a big fish yet, and wait, the pit is counted as one.
