259 A little taste (6th shift to repay debts)

Dick and Lance are both members of the National Party, and their daily work is to promote the city of Johannesburg and attract more people to join the National Party.

The work did not go well, and most of the voting people in Johannesburg had joined the Liberal Party, and no one was interested in the National Party, and the Liberal Party members often sneered at Dick and Lance when they heard Dick and Lance promote the National Party, and usually not a single person wanted to join the National Party for a day.

Three days earlier, Dick and Reims had received a new rule that anyone who lived in Johannesburg could join the National Party, regardless of whether they had the right to vote or not, which had previously been impossible for only those who had the right to vote and had a certain status.

Of course, the latter has never been strictly enforced, strictly speaking, although Dick and Lance have the right to vote, Dick and Lance's status is not high, and if it is stricter, Dick and Lance are not eligible to join the National Party.

Dick and Lance were really excited when the National Party lifted their status restrictions, and they had a bonus for recruiting people to join the National Party, and for each person they brought in to join the National Party, they could get a reward of five shillings, which was not a small number.

Unfortunately, even though the doors of the National Party have been opened, there are still not many people willing to join the National Party.

For three days, Dick and Lance did not say anything about joining the National Party.

"I'm in despair, this is the world of the Liberal Party, no one wants to join the National Party, or any other party, even if the local Liberal Party comes, it's useless-" Lance sat on the flower stand in front of the Liberal Party headquarters with a large stack of materials, looking desperate.

In front of Lance, just two white people entered the Liberal Party headquarters and completed the registration of party members, before Lance tried to introduce them to the National Party, they didn't even look at the information sent by Lance, one of them also said something very ugly, Lance almost went berserk, but seeing the guards at the door of the Liberal Party headquarters, Lance finally controlled himself and did not do anything irrational.

The guards at the entrance of the Liberal Party headquarters are not decorations, and on the first day of work, Lance has learned how powerful the guards are.

At that time, Reims also had a backstage for the National Party, pestering a white man who was about to enter the headquarters of the Liberal Party, and was severely lectured by the guards.

When Henry Alsop learned about this, he did not go to trouble the Liberals as Lance had imagined, but only gave Lance two pounds as compensation, which made Lance remember it deeply.

"I think we're underestimating the Liberal Party's influence in Johannesburg, and you think we're going to get a deal out of it if we leave Johannesburg and go around the farms?" Dick took a different path, Johannesburg is now occupied by the Liberal Party, and if it weren't for the Johannesburg election, Dick would have wanted to go to Orangera.

"What are you thinking, the farms around are full of Chinese, they listen to Lord Nyasaland for everything, Lord Nyasaland asks them to join the Liberal Party, they will join the Liberal Party, Lord Nyasaland let them join the National Party, they will join the National Party, go to the surrounding peasants, we might as well go to Lord Nyasaland-" Lance said this, he felt disheartened, and it was obviously useless to go to Lord Nyasaland, Lord Nyasaland himself was one of the founders of the Liberal Party.

At this time, a few more Indians passed in front of Lance and Dick, and their destination was obviously the headquarters of the Liberal Party.

Neither Dick nor Lance went up to introduce the mood of the National Party.

It's useless to go up and introduce it, the Indians are very shrewd, so they won't join the National Party.

"I don't think there's any point in what we're doing, even if these people who don't have the right to vote come in, it's not going to help the election, so why don't we go back to Pretoria and run Pretoria well? Then maybe more people will join the National Party. "Dick was really not reconciled.

"Heh, we have to build momentum first, you know, our National Party is only a few dozen people now, such a small number of people, not even one percent of the Liberal Party, it is impossible to attract more people." Lance didn't know enough about the Liberal Party, and he obviously said that the proportion was too little, but Dick was not in the mood to correct it.

Just then, the Indians who had just passed in front of Dick and Lance got into an argument with a Liberal Party functionary.

Dick and Lance took a few steps forward, finally hearing what they were arguing about.

"I'm sorry, but if you don't live in Johannesburg, then you can't join the Liberal Party." The staff had impatient expressions on their faces, and their hands were agitated in front of their noses.

It was actually a very insulting gesture, but several Indians did not object.

This is probably because the guards at the entrance of the Liberal Party headquarters have very serious expressions, to say that the Liberal Party also attaches great importance to security work, there are a total of four guards at the entrance of the headquarters, they are all holding the handle of the gun on their waists with one hand and the baton with the other, looking at a few Indians indifferently.

"We have just arrived in Johannesburg and soon we will be applying for residency in Johannesburg, so residency is not an issue." An Indian with good English argues.

"You have to get residency rights before you can apply to become a member of the Liberal Party, don't get this cause and effect wrong." The staff was still able to explain patiently.

"That's why we came to join the Liberal Party, and we need your help before we can get residency." The Indian still said that he had slipped his mouth.

Oh –

Dick and Lance came to their senses almost at the same time.

After a long time, these Indians have not yet obtained the right of residence in Johannesburg, so they want to join the Liberal Party, and then hope to help them get the right of residence by virtue of the relationship between the Liberal Party and the Johannesburg City Government.

Doesn't sound like a logical error!

As far as Dick and Lance know, Johannesburg residency is very rare, except for the first few months, Johannesburg has restrictions on the inflow of people, unless you own property in Johannesburg, or find a job to get Johannesburg residency, otherwise you can only stay in Johannesburg as a tourist.

Tourist status in Johannesburg will be subject to a lot of restrictions, and you can't even rent a house, so it is very difficult to become a permanent resident of Johannesburg, unless you are a wealthy person who can buy property directly in Johannesburg.

Looking at these Indians, they don't look like rich people.

"That is, you have not yet made any contribution to the Liberal Party, and you are asking the Liberal Party to serve you? What did the Liberals do to give you this illusion? The staff was also devastated, looking at a few Indians like looking at fools.

"We haven't had time to contribute to the Liberal Party yet, but believe us, as soon as we get the residency in Johannesburg, we will go back to join the Liberal Party and then cast our sacred vote for the Liberal Party." Several Indians swore an oath, their expressions both sincere and confident.

"Don't dream, even if you get the right to live in Johannesburg now, you won't get the right to vote." The staff simply looked disgusted now.

"Why? Do you mean our skin color? We are also Asian, and even the Chinese are about to get the right to vote, why don't we? "The Indians are righteous, trying to get the staff to admit their mistakes.

The staff gave up communication and directly called the guards who were watching the excitement next to him: "Li, tell him what the difference is between you." ”

Dick and Lance noticed that the guards in front of the Liberal Party headquarters today were actually Chinese.

"The difference between me and you is that Lao Tzu has properties in Johannesburg and Ziwei Town, and has a farm in the suburbs of Johannesburg, what do you have? Is it just this bearded face? By the way, the biggest difference between me and you is that Lao Tzu has a gun and a baton in his hand, so get out of here now! "Li's personality is a little irritable, and it is estimated that he has been impatient for a long time.

"How can you do that—" the Indian had just argued.

Lee immediately drew his baton.

Indians run away.

The scene was a little too funny, and Lance was still laughing, but Dick was chasing after the Indians.

"Hey, you want to get residency in Johannesburg, don't you? Why don't you get to know our National Party? Dick had a hunch that maybe he was going to have to do it.

"The National Party—"

"Johannesburg still has a National Party?"

"You're not kidding, haven't you heard-"

Dick finally understood why Lee was so irritable just now, and to be honest, Dick now also wanted to smash the information in his hand on the faces of these Indians.

"Listen to me, our President's father is Lord Harry Alsop, Lord Mahanlais, Lieutenant Governor of the Transvaal, and you'd better show respect, or you'll lose this opportunity." Dick resisted his nausea and continued to talk to several Indians.

At this point, Dick could understand why the staff member wanted to cover his nose just now—

Nima's smell is too big, as if these people didn't wipe their butts after going to the toilet, and they never changed their clothes, and they haven't taken a shower since they were saved-

Dick is white, and his own body odor is so great that it can make Dick feel unbearable, so you can imagine how bad the body odor of these Indians is.

"Really? That's great, we're willing to join the National Party! Several Indians did not notice Dick's expression and swarmed him around.

Dick suddenly felt that he couldn't stand it, this Nima was like falling into a dung pit!
