Britain had a wealth of experience in founding a state, and after the end of the World War in another time and space, Britain established the Kingdom of Iraq in the valley of the two rivers and established Jewish settlements in Palestine, all of which had an important impact on the future of the Middle East.

Now hundreds of thousands of Chinese have settled in the two river basins, they are not only opening farms to resume production, but also building an oil pipeline between Port Elizabeth and Beirut, in order to ensure the safety of the oil pipeline, Roque also has to ensure that the two river basins are controlled in his own hands.

As for the Ottomans and Persians who had previously lived in the valley of the two rivers, Ali Rashid migrated some of them to Egypt and the other to Lisa Khan, exchanging Khuzestan from the Persian Empire to Southern Africa.

This work is now almost complete, if it is possible, Roque still wants the two river basins to be entrusted to southern Africa as a Class A mandate, if not, then Roque will temporarily set up a state under the control of southern Africa, leaving the problem to be solved in the future.

After his exchange with Louis Botha, Roque's mission in France was coming to an end, but before returning to southern Africa, Roque had to travel to England to receive his second Order of the Garter, give a speech in Parliament, and receive the canonization of King George V at Buckingham Palace.

With his performance in the World War, George V decided to promote Roque to Marquis of Nyasaland, and this time in the World War, only Roque and Kitchener won this honor, and Frenzi and Haig, who had been transferred back to England, were both made viscounts.

It is a coincidence that the night before leaving Paris, Roque attended a farewell dinner for Roque by French President Poncaré, and Roque's journey to the World War War began with a dinner in Poncaré.

The dinner was held at the Élysée Palace, where the official residence of Ponengalé was held, and Roque arrived at the Élysée Palace at 6 p.m. with Louis Botha.

As the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, Roque attracted much attention, Clemenceau as the French prime minister greeted Roque at the door of the banquet hall, and Foch was accompanied by the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces with the commander-in-chief of the French army, Petain, and the commander-in-chief of the American army, Pershing.

When they saw Roque, Clemenceau and Roque shook hands warmly, and their words were full of regret: "It's a pity, I was going to find time for us to have a good chat, but I didn't expect you to leave France now, I really hope we still have the opportunity to meet, but unfortunately I'm old, otherwise I really want to go to Southern Africa with you to have a look." ”

Clemenceau was 76 years old when he became Prime Minister of France, the oldest of all the leaders of the Entente powers.

Compared with Clemenceau, Foch, and Petain, Roque, who is not yet 40 years old, is simply too young, and as a high-ranking official, Pershing is young enough, but he is also close to 60 years old.

"If you have a chance, when you retire, I will send someone to pick you up and take you to Southern Africa, we can fish and picnic together in Lake Niasa, the whitebait in Los Angeles is simply amazing, during my time in France, I dreamed of the taste of whitebait." After spending a long time in France, Roque has also adapted to the French language style, and he feels that he usually speaks like an aria.

"Hahahaha, then you have to wait, I want to be the prime minister of France for another term-" Clemenceau refuses to accept old age, and the taste of power is indeed wonderful.

Greeting Clemenceau, Roque embraced Foch, Petain, and Pershing in turn, and despite how many differences there were between them during the World War, their goal was the same, to defeat the Germans.

Now that the war is finally over, everyone is relieved, and all the unhappiness has vanished with the smoke of gunpowder, and it is fair to say that Foch, Petain, and Pershing are all excellent soldiers, and Roque thanked them separately.

"Thank you Ferdinand, it's an honor to fight alongside you, you're the best soldier I've ever met, and you'll be remembered for your contributions to the world war—" Roque had a good impression of Foch, especially when Foch cooperated with the British Expeditionary Force commanded by Roque during his tenure in the Ninth Army.

As for Foch's ascension to the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, the differences between Roque and Foch do not seem to matter now, after all, being the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces is more complicated to consider than being the Commander of the Ninth Army.

"I also want to thank you Locke, if it weren't for your bravery and decisiveness, I'm afraid the world war wouldn't be over now." Foch also admired Roque, and during the World War, Britain also changed its command three times, and it was finally under Roque's leadership that the British Expeditionary Force was on the right track.

For Petain, Roque is another feeling, if there is no Petain two efforts to turn the tide, the world war may be a completely different direction, especially during the Battle of Verdun, when Roque just took over the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, has not really controlled the British Expeditionary Force, at that time if France is defeated, then Roque will also take the LinkedIn Expeditionary Force back to the British mainland, in that case, I am afraid that victory is far away.

Relatively speaking, Roque did not have a very good impression of Pershing, not only because Pershing insisted on independent command, but also because of the potential threat posed by the United States represented by Pershing to Britain and Southern Africa.

At the end of the World War, the U.S. government finally realized the problem and rushed into the war.

When the Allies launched a counteroffensive, an average of 250,000 American troops arrived in Belgium every month, not to mention the significance of this number, but 250,000 troops were dropped across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States to Belgium every month, and southern Africa now has no such capability.

Maybe Britain has, but Britain doesn't have that many troops to put on.

Entering the venue, the guests at the banquet applauded Roque, led by Pongaré and Winston and Woodrow Wilson.

Pongare offered to invite Roque to speak.

As Roque spoke, Poncalé, Winston, and Woodrow Wilson stood in a row next to Roque smiling and clapping, and a reporter captured the picture.

"I'm sorry, I thought all I needed to do was drink and eat here, but I didn't expect to speak, I wasn't ready to speak, Your Excellency the President should have informed me—" Roque opened the remarks jokingly, and the guests responded with good-natured laughter and enthusiastic applause.

This time, the applause was relatively long, and the guests were still very tolerant of Roque, giving Roque enough time to adjust.

"When I came to France three years ago, the world war was raging, the German front was only a hundred kilometers from Paris, and the civilized world was in danger - thanks to all the warriors who fought bloodily, who defended the order of the civilized world, and allowed us to celebrate victory here - thanks to all those who worked hard to defeat the evil clique of the Allies, and it was their hard work that gave us enough confidence to fight on the front lines - thanks to the king, the prime minister, the president, the prime minister, And officials at all levels of the governments, it is because of your hard work that the soldiers on the front line do not go hungry and fight the enemy – in four years, 30 countries have been involved in wars, 1.5 billion people have been affected, 65 million have been warned, 20 million have been wounded, 10 million have been killed, countless families have been torn apart by the war, countless tragedies are being played out on the land that raised us, as a member of the Entente, as Minister of Defence and Minister of War of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, as Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, I am obliged to lead my soldiers to victory - but at the same time, as an ordinary person, as a father of four children, I hope that when my children grow up, there will never be another war - may the world be peaceful! Roque ended in a sensational way, and the applause once again resounded through the Élysée Palace, which lasted for a long time.

"Locke, you have the potential to be president, work hard!" Ponncaré admired Roque very much, and there was a ceremony later, Ponincaré wanted to award Roque the post of marshal on behalf of the French government, which was a rare honor.

"Don't listen to someone's nonsense, Locke, be your Secretary of Defense and Secretary of War, maybe one day in the future, you can become the Prime Minister of the British Empire, this is what an Englishman should pursue!" Winston is on the defensive, and Roque is replacing Kitchener as Britain's new "god of war", an honor that is more prominent than that of the French president.

"Lord Nyasaland, congratulations, you have achieved something that no one has ever done before, and probably no one has ever done before, and if you may, I invite you to visit the United States, and you may have a good chat with our General Pershing." Woodrow Wilson extended an invitation to Roque in person.

Roque smiled and didn't speak, it's okay to visit the United States, first cancel the "Chinese Exclusion Act" and then say, although Roque is British, he is also Chinese.

If it was the former Roque, then some words would be held back in his heart.

Now Roque has no scruples, in front of Woodrow Wilson, Roque is unceremoniously: "The United States seems to have a "Chinese Exclusion Act", then I'm afraid I can't go, my attaché is too Chinese-"

Woodrow Wilson was immediately embarrassed by this.

Both Winston and Pongaré had a slight frown almost at the same time, but they quickly returned to normal, and looking at Winston's expression, they actually felt a little relieved.

Before Roque had time to think about it, a little man suddenly squeezed in front of Roque, holding Roque's hand for a while.

"This is Mr. Nobuaki Makino—" Winston offered to introduce Roque.

"Ahaha, your Japanese is good, you speak the same as English." Roque snorted, he really didn't understand.

Nobuaki Makino's expression was strange, Winston's eyes widened with a funny expression, Ngalae was dumbfounded, and Woodrow Wilson looked at the sky speechlessly—someone was more embarrassed than I was.

"Lord Nyasaland, I'm speaking English—" Nobu Makino blushed.

This is really not to blame Roque, this English pronunciation of the Japanese is really not much better than that of the Indians.
