Roque was also dizzy, Kevin Mullen is now a justice in Nyasaland and is also the chairman of the **** committee, it is probably impossible to return to the umbrella company as the general manager.

After communicating with Owen, the general manager of the umbrella company was replaced by Sam, the former general manager of the Matilda gold mine, who still trusted Sam Roque very much, and Sam himself was willing to leave the Matilda gold mine, so Roque greeted Henry and asked Sam to come over directly.

As for Gabby George, the guy didn't go far, and at noon that day, on the railroad tracks from Johannesburg to Pretoria, Gabby George's body was found.

After the police department explored the scene, it was believed that Gabby George wanted to climb onto the train from Johannesburg to Pretoria, but because his body did not fully recover, he had an accident and was caught under the car.

Roque regretted a little, and did not question the conclusion given by the police department, if you die, you will die, but it is just one less bargaining chip in your hand, and it will not affect the balance of power between the Liberal Party and the Unionist Party, and Roque is more concerned about Bruce Hughes.

I have to say that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest child, the saying is equally common to Philip, after Owen explained to Philip, Philip just called Arnold home and scolded him, and then there was no follow-up, Bruce Hughes still served as the propaganda minister of the Socialist Party, and nothing changed.

Roque didn't let go of Bruce Hughes, and arranged for Xia Jiu to be personally responsible for the monitoring of Bruce Hughes, which can be regarded as a meritorious service, if Xia Jiu makes another mistake this time, then Xia Jiu will wait to see the warehouse.

At the same time as being dismissed, Xia Jiu also lost the opportunity to enter the parliament.

For this, Xia Jiu has no regrets, the seat of the council may be undesirable for others, it really doesn't matter to Xia Jiu, Xia Jiu still prefers a direct way of working.

At the beginning of September, the Johannesburg City Council was formally formed, and the first decision was to introduce a civil service system in Johannesburg.

"If I take the exam organized by the parliament, I don't know if I can mix up with the secretary general-" Xiao Si was ready to move, and most of the jokes were partly made.

"You can try, as long as you're not afraid of embarrassing Mr. Cecil Rhodes-" Roque was speechless, Xiao Si was almost the same as running for the prime minister of the Southern African Federation in the future, the secretary general or something, he couldn't afford to lose this person.

"Just talking." Xiao Si immediately coaxed, he didn't even bother to take care of the South African company, and it was better to kill him if he was really asked to be the secretary general.

"Do you want to go back to Rhodesia and form a political party?" Roque also has a plan in his heart, although the Liberal Party can now act as the mouthpiece of the Chinese, but what may happen between Chinese and white people in southern Africa in the future, so Roque also intends to establish a political party in Nyasaland to prepare for joining the Union of South Africa in the future.

"No, Rhodesia is the stronghold of the Progressive Party, and all Rhodesians are members of the Progressive Party." Si had never mentioned before that the South African company's advantage in Rhodesia, like the Liberals in Johannesburg, was simply unshakable.

"Is the progressive party in Rhodesia the same thing as the progressive party in the Cape?" Roque was a little curious about the organizational structure of the Progressive Party.

"Of course it's different, the Progressive Party in the Cape is rotten to the roots, Dr. Starr Jameson won the election, but he was also hospitalized, the Prime Minister was replaced by the Deputy Prime Minister, the parliament was a mess every day, and so far there was not even a concrete plan for the distribution of spoils, and I now have a hunch that by the time the Union of South Africa is formed, there may be no Progressive Party by then." Xiao Si is very pessimistic, and the Progressives in the Cape are indeed not angry.

Historically, after the death of Cecil Rhodes, the Progressive Party did win a new election.

Unfortunately, this was also the last time the Progressive Party won the election, and after the introduction of democratic representative systems in the Transvaal and Orange, the Union of South Africa was quickly formed, and the Progressive Party in Cape lost all its seats and finally disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Si can now feel that the Progressive Party is at the end of its rope.

But the sad thing is that Xiao Si does not have the ability to turn the tide, Cecil Rhodes died too early, Xiao Si is not ready, and being able to hold Rhodesia is enough to comfort Cecil Rhodes's spirit in heaven.

"You can reshuffle the Transvaal's Progressive Party and replace it with some other party, and make a clear line with the Cape Progressive Party." Roque gives Xiao Si an idea.

"It's not in a hurry right now, because I don't know how to lead a party, what about you? Why are you asking me this? "Xiao Si's biggest advantage is that he will never be complacent, and he will not be able to, so he will learn from Roque, which is nothing to be ashamed of.

"I would also like to form a party, confined to Nyasaland." Roque began by stating that there should be no rift in his relationship with Owen.

No matter what Roque's purpose is, starting a new thing, Owen must be uncomfortable knowing it, so Roque wants to draw a circle in Nyasaland, so as not to conflict with the interests of Xiao Si and Owen.

"Tell me about it—" Xiao Si was very interested.

"What's there to say about this, if you really want to refer to it, look at the current Liberal Party." Roque didn't actually tell the truth, although the Liberals look pretty good right now, but Roque really didn't like the Liberals.

A party must first have a party constitution, so that it can have a clear political goal.

When it comes to the party constitution, the Liberal Party actually has it, and striving for a wider range of free trade and better serving party members is the constitution of the Liberal Party.

From Roque's point of view, this party constitution is indeed simple enough, but this era can't ask too much, the Liberal Party still has a party constitution, similar to Arnold's Socialist Party, there is not even a party constitution, it is simply a grass stage team, before the election begins, the goal of the Socialist Party is to win more parliamentary seats, and now that the election is over, this goal is outdated, Roque estimates that Arnold himself does not know how to design the party constitution.

For Roque, the party constitution is very simple, the biggest goal of Nyasaland is, of course, to safeguard the interests of Chinese Americans, to improve the living standards of Chinese Americans as much as possible, all articles are centered around this purpose, the vast majority of Chinese Americans are pragmatists, what ideals you tell them, what lofty goals are useless, real interests can win the recognition of Chinese Americans.

"Ha, don't try to lie to me, just look at your attitude towards the Liberal Party, the Liberal Party is not the most ideal form in your heart." Xiao Si still knows Roque very well, Roque thinks he is covering it up well, but he didn't expect Xiao Si to have a time when he is as discerning as a torch.

Returning to Roque, he sent a telegram to Buck, asking Buck to prepare for the formation of a political party, the issue is more complicated, and it will be said that Roque will return to Nyasaland next time, so he can only let it go for now.

Following Roque's instructions, Duncan proposed in parliament that Chinese should be the official language of Johannesburg.

Although Roque had been mentally prepared, Duncan's proposal still caused an uproar in the council.

In addition to Arnold and Bruce Hughes, Adam Stephen also joined the Socialist Party, becoming vice-president of the Socialist Party and able to enter parliament.

Compared to the Liberal Party, the Socialist Party is indeed easy to get ahead, and if Bruce Hughes and Adam Stephen are still in the Liberal Party, then they will not even be qualified to become core members of Parliament, let alone enter parliament.

"The day after tomorrow there will be a first round of voting, and if the vote does not pass, then a month later, I can put forward the bill again, and I have a total of three chances." Duncan briefs Roque on the council process.

"It's okay, you've run out of three chances, and George can pick it up." Roque is not in a hurry, the process of the parliament is simply to open the back door for people like Roque, these years the voting is a show of hands, and when the vote comes, Roque will personally go to the parliament to observe, and when the time comes, it will be clear who raises his hand and who does not.

"No, no, no, it's not like this, this topic has only three chances, and if the three votes can't be passed, then this issue will not be discussed in the future." Duncan corrected Roque's mistake, and when he thought about it, there were so many members of Roque's family in the council, if it was really his turn, he could annoy the councilors to death.

"It doesn't matter, in the past two days, you can contact other councillors, probe their voices, and see how many people are in favor, and this time the vote will be held first." Roque has a little regret, but it doesn't matter, under the democratic representative system, there is too much space for Roque to operate.

If in the previous interim government, this kind of bill, Roque did not even dare to mention it, compared with these parliamentarians in Johannesburg, Ade was much more difficult to deal with, and Roque was scolded in front of Ade before.

The Johannesburg Parliament stipulates that as long as more than two-thirds of the members vote by show of hands and more than half of the members vote in favor of the proposal, then the proposal can be passed.

So for the proposal, it doesn't matter whether Arnold and Adam Stephen agree or not, as long as the majority of other parliamentarians agree, Arnold is useless even if he shouts the sky, this is not the kind of one-vote veto system of the United Nations, where the minority obeys the majority, in fact, it is the violence of the majority against the minority.

It's still one of the few that can't be resisted.

"Well, we'll split up on the councillors we know well, but that might cost you." Duncan had to mention the cost, if just this time, Duncan would have no problem paying for it himself, but in the foreseeable future, this kind of thing will definitely become more and more, and Duncan can't afford to build it without a family like Roque.

"It doesn't matter, how much money you spend will go to Scarlett for reimbursement in the end, or you can withdraw it in advance, as long as it is within a reasonable range, all of it will be reimbursed." Roque is ready to smash people with money.
