Most cities in this era are black and white, gray, and shrouded in gray haze, just like this strange and changeable world, making it difficult to see where the future lies.

Little Rock at night is obviously more vivid and translucent, Nyasaland has a starry sky that can never be seen in London, in Ade's memory, such a beautiful and fresh night sky, and only when Ade's childhood appeared, in Pretoria, Ade likes to sit down and look at the stars after a day's work and think slowly.

Little Rock also has a well-developed public lighting system, and most of the city is dark at night in Pretoria, which is the biggest difference between Pretoria and Little Rock.

In the world of this era, only Little Rock may have installed street lights on all roads in the entire city so extravagantly, so under the bright moonlight, the city's lights and the bright Milky Way complement each other, which is the harmony and unity of nature and technology, and Ade unconsciously has many humanistic problems in his heart, such as the future and fate of the entire human race-

This proposition is too big, so let's focus on southern Africa.

"Before I came, many people asked me about my views on the autonomy of southern Africa, as if I had single-handedly unified southern Africa, so I should have a natural position against the autonomy of southern Africa-" Ade took a glass of ice water and did not drink it, looking at the devastated city in front of him and speaking slowly: "-Actually, I was indeed against it before, there are many hidden dangers in southern Africa, Boers, Zulus, South African companies, and now there is more Nyasaland, to forcibly integrate these factors, to be honest, the prospects are unpredictable, Rather than a plate of scattered sand, mutual constraints, internal friction, controversy, and even mutual attacks, I would rather keep the status quo, the Transvaal is getting better and better now, Nyasaland is simply amazing, Rhodesia is also thriving, I thought all the way, and I can't understand why you and Cecil Rhodes Jr. will support the formation of the Southern African Union, this is not your style, all along, as long as it is not related to the Chinese, you have never been willing to take the initiative to take responsibility, although you did not say it explicitly, but I can see it, You don't even like the British, but now you're willing to make an alliance between the Chinese and the Boers and Zulus, can you tell me why? ”

It can be seen that although Ade has left southern Africa during this time, Ade has been thinking about the problems of southern Africa, so Ade can hit the nail on the head and analyze Roque clearly and clearly.

Roque didn't expect Ade to be so direct, and he was a little speechless for a while.

"If it's inconvenient to say it, forget it-" Ade smiled freely, most of the people in high positions are very deep in the city, and it is easy not to reveal their hearts, if Roque doesn't want to tell the truth, then Ade would rather Roque not say anything.

"No, nothing inconvenient, first of all, I have to state that I don't like certain Britons, my wife is British, almost all my friends are also British, I accept knighthoods from the king, and in England I get almost everything I can get, so I have no reason to hate Britain-" Roque stated this first, this is a very serious problem, and it is necessary to be politically correct at all times.

Ade was clearly receptive to Roque's explanation, and looked at Roque with a smile in his eyes that was encouraging and warm.

That's right, it's the legendary aunt's eyes.

"- As for the Boers and Zulus, of course I would not accept them if I could, but they are part of Southern Africa, and we cannot, and we cannot, and there is no way to isolate them from Southern Africa, and we used hundreds of thousands of troops and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to destroy the Boer state and achieve the current situation, and if we artificially separate the Boers and Zulus, it would be the greatest irresponsibility for those who sacrificed and shed blood in the war, and I also participated in that war, We have also fought bloody battles in wars, which is the result of the joint efforts of all of us, and we cannot give up lightly under any circumstances. Roque tried his best to pick up the good words, even if Ade put on a posture of digging out his heart and lungs, Roque didn't dare to take it.

To be sure, Roque remained loyal to Britain until the end of the First World War, so that Roque could receive the British legacy in southern Africa, and indeed in Africa as a whole.

It seems a bit inappropriate to talk about inheritance now, but after the British strategy shrinks, those rights in Africa are destined to be abandoned, and the First World War will deal a heavy blow to Britain, and then Johannesburg's gold will no longer be so important, because Britain has lost its position as the center of the global economy, and the dollar has begun to replace the British pound as the most important currency in the world, which cannot be changed.

Roque's greatest hope now is to receive the British heritage in southern Africa, Nyasaland, Rhodesia, the Transvaal, and even the Cape, Natal, Orange, all of which Roque wants, and no one will dislike that his territory is too big, and Roque is especially excessive in this regard.

In the final analysis, there are too many Chinese, so the Chinese need more living space, and now the population of the four colonies in southern Africa is one million, if Roque persists in immigration, what will be the situation in three or five years?

Roque is looking forward to it.

"Yes, we have done a lot to conquer the Boers, but unfortunately the sacrifices of the front are not recognized in London, so now more and more people are in favor of autonomy in Southern Africa, some people have never left London since birth, for them, London is the center of the world, it is the whole of the world, and for them Southern Africa exists only in newspapers and documents, it is something that is dispensable and can be given up at any time." Ade shook his head and smiled bitterly, but it was a pity that those high-ranking members of Congress did not have a clear understanding of a military nobleman like Roque.

"They need to go to southern Africa to see if this land is worth protecting, and that southern Africa, or Nyasaland, is dispensable for them, but for us, it's all worth our lives." Roque is rare and impassioned, and the meaning of "maintenance" here is still relatively rich.

The "maintenance" that Roque refers to is certainly not the same as Ade's "maintenance".

Ade's maintenance refers to safeguarding the interests of the British Empire.

Roque's defense refers to the interests of Chinese Americans in southern Africa.

The two do not seem to be fundamentally different now, and safeguarding the interests of ethnic Chinese is actually safeguarding the interests of the British Empire.

But once the two clash, the choices of Roque and Ade will be completely different.

"That's why you've always wanted me to go back to Southern Africa?" Ade finally got down to business, and as for the visit of the German foreign minister, Ade didn't even mention it.

No one is stupid, the political atmosphere in Britain is much more treacherous than that in Germany, the German government hopes to use the foreign minister's visit to bury nails between Roque and the British government, British politicians are not blind to this, the key is Roque's attitude, as long as Roque's attitude remains unchanged, let alone the foreign minister's visit, even if Wilhelm II comes in person, it will not have any impact.

Of course, if the British government wants to play on the topic, it is a different situation.

"Who else but you? Dr. Starr Jameson is not in good health, Cape is now in a mess, Lord Matilda only came to Johannesburg after the war, and he has little influence in the whole of southern Africa, so he can't let the Boers dominate the future Southern African Union, although Louis Botha and Jan Smotz seem to be very capable, but if it is the Boers who dominate the future Southern African Union, then how do we deal with those soldiers who died in the war? "Roque really can't help it, looking all over southern Africa, it is true that he can't find a more suitable candidate than Ade.

Sometimes it can't be helped, Ade worked hard when he was the commissioner of South Africa, the governor of the Transvaal and Orange, the Transvaal and Orange were thriving, and the Boers could be honest.

Now replaced by the Earl of Selborne, who was not on southern Africa at all, and spent half of his time on British soil, obsessed with building "dreadnoughts" to maintain the British Empire's superiority over the emerging German navy.

As for southern Africa, for the Earl of Selborn, it may really be just a burden, so the Earl of Selborn will start to promote the autonomy of southern Africa within a few days of taking office.

"Looks like I can't excuse myself." Ade smiled bitterly, it was Ade who single-handedly eliminated the Boer state, and now if Ade is the first prime minister of the Southern African Union, then in the future history books, the evaluation of Ade is really positive.

"Why do you want to shirk it, this is not my opinion alone, the situation in southern Africa is like this, it takes a person to come out to stabilize the situation, listen patiently to everyone's voice, and lead southern Africa forward, except for you, no one has this ability." Roque didn't put a top hat on Ade, if anyone had the power to turn the tide, then it was Ade.

In another time and space, after Ade left Southern Africa, he was probably disheartened, and never returned to Southern Africa for the rest of his life.

This time and space are different, and Roque's repeated invitations made Ade feel Roque's sincerity.

The current development situation of Nyasaland also makes Ade see the prospects of southern Africa, if the four colonies of southern Africa plus the Bechuana Protectorate can be developed into Nyasaland, then Ade really has the qualifications to go down in history, which is the ultimate pursuit of a politician.
