As prime minister, any behavior of Ade will be written into the history books and left for future generations to be judged.
Different eras have different characteristics, and some things seem to be normal now, and maybe they will leave countless infamy decades from now.
For example, during the previous Cecil Rhodes administration, the British colonies in southern Africa expanded rapidly.
What Ade is doing now is actually the same as Cecil Rhodes at the beginning, which is essentially the same colonial expansion, Cecil Rhodes laid a good foundation for southern Africa, and Ade further integrated on the basis of the previous one to have the current southern Africa.
Lorenço Marques is the only enclave in Southern Africa at present, as long as Lorenço Marques is annexed, then Southern Africa will completely become the Southern Africa of Southern Africa, this sentence seems a bit tongue-twisting, but for the future development of Southern Africa, Ade would rather bear the infamy, but also to take Lorenço Marques into the bag.
On February 7, in the face of the strong protest of the Portuguese government, amid the sour criticism of Britain and France, the southern African army marched into Lorenço Marques to maintain order in Lorenço Marques and supervise the upcoming referendum in Lorenço Marques.
The person responsible for communicating and coordinating with the interim government of Lourenço Marques is Sidney Milner, First Secretary of the Federal Government of Southern Africa.
"We are going to hold a referendum in a week to decide whether to join Southern Africa or become an independent country, and at the moment, it seems that joining Southern Africa is the desire of the majority, but there are also some people who are trying to make Lorenço Marques independent, and we are trying to communicate with those people, and if we can't reach an agreement in the end, then we will send them away before the referendum-" Dylan Karami is the Speaker of the Interim Government, he has no way out now, if Lorenço Marques can't join Southern Africa, then Dylan K. Karamy. There is a possibility that Kalami will be settled after the fall.
The possibilities are still very high.
"If I were to say that we simply threw all those whimsical careerists into prison, their actions were not responsible for Lorenço Marques at all, but dragged Lorenço Marques to hell with them." Sidney Richards' situation is not much better.
Although Dylan Calami and Sidney Richards both hope that Lorenço Marquez will join Southern Africa and rely on the huge market of Southern Africa to obtain better development opportunities.
But it is clear that not everyone thinks so, some are just whimsical, and Lorenzo Marques has just escaped the control of the Portuguese government through a war, and they are unwilling to join southern Africa, which is tantamount to just getting out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth.
Dylan Calami and Sidney Richards also knew that independence was a good option, but in the current situation, Lorenço Marquez simply did not qualify for independence, as the Congo Free State and Tanganyika were the examples.
The Congo Free State and Tanganyika, with their vast territory, have barely managed to hold on to Nyasaland's aggressiveness.
There are only 100,000 square kilometers left around Lorenço Marques, and they can't withstand the toss of Nyasaland at all, and they don't even need Roque's action, and in the current situation of Lorenço Marques, if there is no southern African army to help maintain order, the whites of Lorenço Marques are facing serious personal threats.
Whether it's a member of the Labour Party or a royalist.
In order to suppress the Labor Party, the Loyalists formed a servant army, mainly composed of local Africans in Lorenço Marques, in an attempt to seize control of Lorenço Marques by force.
Because of Nyasaland's instigation, the African Servant Army defected and dealt a fatal blow to the royalists, and the Labour Party won and became the only ruling party in Lourenço Marques.
After the defeat of the Lorenzo Marques, there was a serious humanitarian crisis in Lorenzo Marques, where hundreds of Loreists were executed in the streets, their property was divided, and their wives and daughters were humiliated, many of which were perpetrated by the rebel servants.
Once this kind of thing starts, it is difficult to control, so although more than a month has passed since the victory of the Labour Party, Lourenço Marques has not only not returned to calm, but has become more and more chaotic, which has prompted the Provisional Government of Lorenço Marques to ask for support from the Southern African Army, otherwise the members of the Labour Party may follow in the footsteps of the royalists.
"This kind of thing can't wait, it's better to get rid of them all as soon as possible, or even send them away is not the best solution-" Sidney Milner didn't care how much tragedy his suggestion would cause, and it was Sidney Milner's responsibility to let Lorenço Marques join Southern Africa peacefully as soon as possible.
Dylan Calami and Sidney Richards glanced at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes, although they didn't want to do so desperately, but the matter had come to this point, and Dylan Karami and Sidney Richards had no choice at all.
The political struggle is very cruel, the king loses, the winner takes everything, if he loses, he loses, there is no chance to start over, the situation of the comeback only exists in peacetime, the current Lorenzo Marques is at a crossroads that will decide his fate, it is only right to integrate the internal as soon as possible and reach an agreement.
So in the next few days, Lorenço Marques was all kinds of bloody storms.
In fact, it is really not that difficult to eradicate dissidents, and it is the Southern African Army that is responsible for maintaining law and order during this time, and the Southern African Army is not familiar with Lorenzo Marques, so it is normal for mistakes to occur in the work.
As a result, Africans who had already tasted the sweetness and lost their minds were everywhere, and in just a few days, many violent incidents were created in Lorenço Marques, until even Dylan Karami and Sidney Richards could not stand it, and Lorenço Marques put an end to the chaos.
At this time, there were only two days left before the referendum.
Lorenço Marques also has only one voice left, if there were still people who had illusions before, then through the chaos of the past few days, everyone finally realized that the current Lorenço Marques can only rely on southern Africa to survive.
This is the sorrow of not having a strong motherland.
The day before the referendum, the Southern African Army went out en masse to capture hundreds of Africans who had attacked whites during this time, and shot them all without any trial, effectively maintaining the law and order of Lorenço Marques and announcing that Lorenço Marques had begun to return to normalcy.
On 15 February, Lorenço Marquez held a referendum on whether or not to join southern Africa.
In fact, a few days earlier, the provisional government of Lourenço Marques went door-to-door to inform the white people who still lived in Lorenço Marques to participate in the referendum on time, Africans were not eligible to participate in the referendum at all, and this referendum no longer restricted citizenship, as long as they were adults, regardless of whether they were men or women, they were eligible to participate in the referendum, which was impossible in the past.
Women in this era, even wealthy ladies such as Phyllis and Lacey, did not have the right to vote, and during the establishment of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, Phyllis and Lacey tried to fight for this right, even with the help of Roque and Henry, but it was not passed in Parliament.
Also eligible for the referendum were white people who had just emigrated to Lourenço Marques during this time.
It's hard to imagine that even with such chaos in Lorenço Marques, there are still many people who have emigrated to Lorenço Marques, and in just one week, more than 5,000 new immigrants have come to Lorenço Marques.
It should be emphasized here that after the war of Lorenzo Marques, the total number of white people is now less than 20,000, of which there are less than 10,000 adults who are eligible to vote.
So Dylan Calami and Sidney Richards knew exactly who the white people who came to Lorenzo Marques during this time.
It is nothing more than that southern Africa is adding a double insurance policy to the referendum.
The voting of more than 10,000 people ended in just one morning.
The votes were then counted on the spot under the supervision of the Southern African Ministry of Justice, and two hours later, the referendum results appeared, with about 13,000 valid votes, more than 90 percent of the votes cast in favor of Lorenço Marques joining Southern Africa.
Most of those who did not choose in favor abstained from voting, with only a handful of a few hundred votes in favor of Lorenço Marques becoming an independent state.
This part of the votes was then ruthlessly ignored, and Dylan Calami, who announced the final result, did not even announce the number of votes in this part, but directly announced that Lorenço Marques would join Southern Africa as part of Southern Africa from February 15, 1909.
Immediately afterwards, Sidney Milner, the first secretary of the federal government, accepted the application of Lourenço Marquez on behalf of the provisional government of southern Africa, announced the establishment of the state of Lorenço Marques with immediate effect, and appointed Dylan Calami as the first governor of Lorenço Marques, and Sidney Richards as the interim speaker of the state of Lorenço Marques, and the official elections in Lourenço Marques would not be held until three months later.
When the dust settled, Sidney Milner left Lorenço Marques and returned to Pretoria via Nyasaland.
It's a bit of a loop, but the closest option is to take a boat from Lorenço Marques to Durban and then take the train from Durban back to Pretoria.
Sidney Milner went around this circle in order to communicate with Roque in time to ensure the stability of Lorenço Marques.
"Don't worry about this problem, the Nyasaland Commando Regiment will be stationed in Lorenço Marques during this time, until the Lorenço Marques Rifle Regiment is established, and then the police system and the coast guard department will also be established one after another. Roque didn't care at all, there used to be more than 500,000 whites in Portuguese East Africa, and now after so many tosses, there is only so much left, after joining Southern Africa, casually move some people to Lorenço Marques, and the whites of Lorenço Marques will become a minority.
