The Rock mine produced 320,000 ounces of gold last year, which translates to about 10 tonnes.

Corresponding to the production, the Rock Gold Mine has about 3,000 miners, so the problem is, according to what Winston has learned, the annual production of a mine with 3,000 miners should be much more than ten tons.

What's more, the ore grade of the Roc Gold Mine far exceeds the average ore grade of the Rand Gold Mine, the average ore grade of the Rand Mine is about 10 grams per ton, the ore grade of the Roc Gold Mine has been stable at about 20 grams per tonne, and the legend has that the Rogue Gold Mine also has a rich ore belt with a grade of more than 200 grams per tonne, so Winston insists that the production of the Rooke Gold Mine must be more than that.

Of course, this is just Winston's speculation, and it is not easy to prove that the Rock Gold Mine is Roque's private property, and the mine including the surrounding land was bought by Roque, and without Roque's permission, Albert Archibald, as a gold commissioner, did not even have the right to enter the Roque Gold Mine.

So Albert Archibald is also very innocent, you aristocrats designed this social system in order to protect your own interests, and now this social system has become a stumbling block for the British Empire to continue to advance, but the aristocracy does not have the courage to break the shackles.

"So, you don't know exactly what the Rock Gold Mine is producing?" Winston now knows how tricky the problem is.

Winston felt this feeling deeply when he was prime minister, and he knew that there was a problem, but he couldn't solve it.

"Yes, the true production of the Rock Gold Mine is probably known only to Lord Nyasaland himself." Albert Archibald admits it, but doesn't think it's his own incompetence.

Even if Winston was the gold commissioner, he couldn't have done it better than Albert Archibald.

In southern Africa now, everyone is blind.

"In fact, it's not just the Rock Gold Mine, the mines under the name of the Rhodes family, and even the mines controlled by the local aristocracy, the output is not open and transparent enough, this is the open secret of the Rand Mining Area, relatively speaking, the Rogue Gold Mine is not bad, the mine of 3,000 people, the output can reach about ten tons, the two mines in the Middle Land Mining Area, 3,500 miners, the output is only 3 tons, if this output is real, then the mine might as well close its doors." Albert Archibald was also helpless, because British influence in southern Africa was declining, and the current situation of the Rand mining area was already predestined from the establishment of the federal government of southern Africa.

"Those two?" Winston's murderous heart froze.

"Sussex, Gloucester." Albert Archibald is blunt and tells you the name, what can you do?

Sussex and Gloucester, just looking at these two surnames, are both British royal dukes.

This does not prove that the two gold mines are the property of the two dukes, and these two surnames are not exclusive to the two dukes, and others can use them.

But it's hard to say this kind of thing, what if-

In the current Rand mining area, the myth of the farmer discovering that the farm became rich overnight is gone.

Even if the farmer finds gold on his farm, the best outcome is to sell the gold mine to someone or a certain company at a good price, and there is no door to mine it himself, Roque is also very resolute in this regard, it doesn't matter if the price is higher, but the gold mine must be controlled in his own hands.

In the last decade, four new gold deposits have been discovered at the Rand Mine, all of which have been acquired by Roque.

Winston didn't say a word, and returned to Nyasaland that evening to continue making his films, never caring about the rand gold mine again.

That's right, not in his position, not in his politics.

Roque laughed it off when he found out, some things were too complicated for Winston to solve, and not even Roque could solve unless he smashed everything and started all over again.

But Roque didn't have the courage to smash everything and start all over again.

Time flies, it's Christmas in the blink of an eye, and then it's New Year's Day.

1919 passed, and Roque did not miss it at all, and 1920 was a new beginning for Southern Africa.

On January 1, Ade officially stepped down, and Philip became prime minister for a five-year term.

The first thing Philippe did when he became prime minister was to take back the legislative and executive powers of the two capitals of Bloemfontein and Cape Town.

In other words, to end the chaos in the three capitals of southern Africa and to concentrate all power in Pretoria.

Roque was quite speechless after knowing Philip's plan, Philip's idea is good, but it is not very realistic, Bloemfontein is good to say, this capital has always been in name only, with the continuous weakening of the Boers, Bloemfontein's status is constantly decreasing, not to mention the city construction compared with Los Angeles and Pretoria, even Johannesburg is not as good,

It is more difficult to cancel the qualification of Cape Town as the capital, although the number of Chinese in southern Africa is generally predominant, but specifically to Cape, there are still more whites and fewer Chinese, where is the historical status of Cape Town, the oldest city in southern Africa, has been the center of British domination in southern Africa for more than 100 years, and now Cape Town, more than 60 percent of the residents are British, and the remaining more than 30 percent are Boers.

Miraculously, when the federal government was established, the Boers and the British were-for-tat, and Ade relied on the support of the Chinese to become prime minister.

The fact that the overall number of Chinese now exceeds that of whites objectively promotes the integration of Boers and British.

It's not that the Boers and the British joined forces against the Chinese, and the internal contradictions among the people were not so acute.

"Wait, you've just become Prime Minister, and you can't wait to take back the rights of Bloemfontein and Cape Town, what does this make the MPs from Orange and Cape think?" Roque disagreed, the number of MPs in Southern Africa is determined by population, and in this general election, the number of MPs from Orange and Cape has decreased again, which has made Orange and Cape very dissatisfied, and if Bloemfontein and Cape Town are to be abolished as capitals, then I am afraid that Orange and Cape will rebel.

"What does one country, three capitals, look like? When the federal government was formed, there was no way, so it had to compromise, and now that the federal government is in control, if the Orange and Cape parliamentarians do not agree, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to rectify it. "Philip is a little drifting when he first became prime minister, and he doesn't want to think about why Ade didn't set out to solve this problem when he was in office.

Ade must know the disadvantages of the three capitals, but with Ade's prestige in southern Africa, he doesn't dare to solve this problem, and Philip is indeed in a hurry now.

Roque can understand the feelings of Philip's new official taking office with three fires, but your new official can't burn down the house with one fire as soon as he takes office, Roque would rather solve this problem slowly than cause turmoil in southern Africa because of this problem.

"It's time to solve this problem, and there are some problems in Congress—" Owen is just as radical, and he is still a little bit angry about Buck as Speaker, both old and young.

"I agree with Locke." Henry and Roque agreed, and after Philip became prime minister, Henry remained as Minister of Justice, just as thunderous as Roque's position.

Philip's expression was serious, Owen's approval was of little value, and both Roque and Henry were opposed, so Philip had to consider it carefully.

The party broke up unhappily, and Roque and Henry were worried when they left the Palace of Justice, neither of them expected that Philip would become so radical after becoming prime minister.

"I knew I shouldn't have made him prime minister, and I suddenly had a very bad feeling, five years-" Henry was polite, complaining like an old man.

Roque remembered that Philip's five-year term had just begun, and he felt a little sad, the current southern Africa, in fact, does not need a capable prime minister, nor does it need much action to adjust southern Africa, now the development of southern Africa has entered the fast lane, the prime minister, as the helmsman, as long as he controls the direction and does not deviate.

"It's like you have the power to decide who is prime minister." Roque still has more respect for Philip than Henry.

"It's true that I don't have the ability, but if I add you, it really can't be true." Henry is self-aware, although Favalt Steel is also powerful, but compared with a large number of companies under Roque's name, Henry is also inferior to himself.

Roque shook his head and didn't accept this stubble, at this time he somewhat regretted it, he knew that this was the case, and he really shouldn't have let Philip be the prime minister.

Looking back, Roque didn't forget to remind Buck to be careful of a member of Congress taking advantage of the opportunity.

Although Buck is a veteran in Parliament, he certainly does not control Congress as well as Philip, who has been President of Parliament since the formation of the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

In the years since the establishment of the federal government, Congress has always been Philip's private territory, and his influence on Congress is huge, and with Roque's understanding of Philip, even if Philip wants to take back the rights of Bloemfontein and Cape Town, it will most likely be completed through Parliament.

If the rights are successfully recovered, then it is Philip's leadership that has merit.

If Orange and Cape react violently, then Buck will be the scapegoat.

Don't think that if Philip marries his daughter to Roque, he will look at all Chinese people differently, for Philip, even his family is just a tool when necessary.

This is the callousness of a good politician.

Feelings don't exist for politicians.

Buck was not surprised by Philip's decision.

During his tenure as speaker of the National Assembly, Philip repeatedly showed his covetousness for the post of prime minister, which fully shows that Philip is a bit utilitarian.

Since there is a utilitarian mind, then there will be more emphasis on power, and it is normal to take back power from Bloemfontein and Cape Town.

What worries Buck is whether the power of Congress will be affected if Philip is prime minister.
