422 cruisers

Sometimes I have to sigh that the cycle of life is really wonderful.

Although Roque did not take action against Dralai, Drale still did not get rid of his fateful arrangement.

On May 5, Derale was shot dead by Windhoek police in Windhoek, South West Africa, on the grounds that Delale had not stopped as required.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding, in the whole of South West Africa, only the Governor of South West Africa owns the Lord car produced in Nyasaland, so Delale was shot and killed as a robber by the Windhoek police when he appeared on the streets of Windhoek in his car.

In another time and space, in 1914, Delale was also in Johannesburg and was mistakenly killed by the Johannesburg police for failing to comply with the regulations.

At that time, the police thought that they had stopped the car of the Forster gang, who had robbed in the Rand, but the Boers believed that it was a deliberate murder by the Johannesburg police, which caused extreme tension between the Boers and the authorities of the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

At this time, Delalai had an accident in Windhoek, and it had nothing to do with the Federal Government of Southern Africa, and the Boers certainly had no reason to be angry with the Federal Government.

After Delale's death, Ade took Delalai's body back to Orange for burial, and issued a telegram of condolence in the name of the federal government to express his condolences to Delalai, and at the same time telegraphed to German South-West Africa, demanding that the Governor of South-West Africa thoroughly investigate the truth and that someone must be held accountable for the matter.

Roque certainly did not miss this opportunity, and whatever the truth of the matter was, the most important thing now was to put the blame on German South-West Africa, so that the federal government of Southern Africa would be invincible.

Therefore, all the newspapers in southern Africa in May reported on the death of Delale and the fighting in Tanganyika, and between the lines they hinted or directly pointed out that the reason why Delale was killed in Windhoek was the revenge of German South-West Africa against southern Africa.

"The truth is not important, the key lies in the guidance of public opinion, the German newspapers say that we are all man-eating demons, or some people believe in it, so we must give full play to the advantages of public opinion and blame all the blame on Southwest Africa." This is how straightforward Roque was in his telegram to Lord Northern Rock.

Lord Northern Rock is now the managing director of Times News Corporation.

After Roque bought The Times and the Daily Mail, he founded The Sun, and then formed the Times News Group with these three newspapers as the core.

In the United Kingdom, or the world, Lord North Rock's sense of smell and talent in the field of news media are incomparable, Roque's advantage is in the field of capital, and when it comes to the specific media field, Roque also has to recognize Lord North Rock's ability, so Lord North Rock became the general manager of Thames News Group.

Since the outbreak of the rebellion in Tanganyika, the Thames News Group has played a large role, and the rebellion in Thamanyika would not have attracted so much attention without the first time that the Times News Group reported on it.

In fact, the Times News Group's reports of the rebellion in Tanganyika have even aroused the alarm of the British government.

In his reply to Roque, Lord Northern Rock made it clear that some MPs were concerned about the Times News Group report, because the Times News Group report would stir up serious anti-German sentiment in the UK, which might affect the relationship between Britain and Germany, and the situation would deteriorate to an irreversible state.

This fully shows that there are still some people in the British Government who have illusions that there is still room for relaxation in relations between Britain and Germany under the premise of the current arms race.

Roque's understanding of the current situation is very clear, the arms race can only end in war, Germany has invested tens of millions of pounds in the arms race, Britain has invested hundreds of millions, so much investment, if there is no result in the end, it is unacceptable to everyone.

Therefore, Roque's attitude is very resolute, regardless of whether there is opposition from parliamentarians, the Times News Group must firmly express its attitude, the UK does not claim freedom of speech, this is also the Times News Group is defending its own freedom of speech.

In other words, "The Times" has always adhered to its own value orientation and has never pandered to the public, which is why "The Times" has become the core of the Times News Corporation.

In retrospect, in order to cooperate with the propaganda of the Times News Group, the Nyasaland Marine Police, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the Northern Rhodesian Division also made frequent moves in Nyasaland and became more and more radical.

On 20 May, the flagship of the Beihai Marine Police, the Beihai, crossed the middle line of the Beihai Sea and approached the waters less than one kilometer from the port of Usumbura to patrol the area, causing a strong protest from the Usumbura Marine Police.

On the 25th, the patrol of the 1st Cavalry Division encountered the Tanganyikat army while patrolling, and a physical altercation broke out between the two sides, and the Tanganyikat army was defeated and lost, this time not only the horses were snatched, but also the German soldiers were stripped of their clothes, and the two sides almost lost their guns.

On the 26th, when the German 35th Division was encircling and suppressing a Fort Glory force, the troops of the Northern Rhodesia Division in Nyasaland began to assemble, causing great pressure on the German 35th Division.

On the 30th, Erich von Falkingham finally had enough of it and contacted the British Foreign Office through the German Foreign Office, asking for a direct meeting with Roque.

The British Foreign Office agreed to the request of the German Foreign Office and did not give Roque any warning, but the Earl of Selborn sent a telegram to Roque that evening, hoping that Roque would show the position of the British Government and resolutely oppose the German colonial atrocities committed in Tanganyika on behalf of Southern Africa.

Ade was also following the meeting between Roque and Erich von Falkingham, so on June 5, Sidney Milner, who is currently the first secretary of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, came to Nyasaland, and Roque and Erich von Falkingham met with Sidney Milnaya to participate in the whole process.

"Sidney, welcome to Nyasaland—" Roque hosted a private dinner for Sidney Milner at Eagle Castle to welcome Sidney Milner.

"I've heard for a long time that Nyasaland is a paradise on earth, and I just came to Nyasaland today, and it really lives up to its reputation-" Sidney Milner was also very polite to Roque, not to mention the relationship between Roque and Ade, as far as Roque's current status is concerned, it is enough for Sidney Milner to maintain respect for Roque.

After all, in southern Africa, there are only two viscounts, Roque and Ade, and others such as Henry and Philip are all barons.

However, I recently heard that Ade is going to be promoted to earl, and he may be knighted this year.

After the autonomy of southern Africa, the British also made a big deal of officials in southern Africa, relatively speaking, the cost of the knighthood is the lowest, so it is estimated that many people in southern Africa will be knighted this year, after all, the knighthood is just a name and does not require too much cost.

"Is the Prime Minister well?" Luo Ke still cares about Ade, and according to the tradition of Han culture, Luo Ke is now also a protégé of the Son of Heaven.

"It's not bad, but the prime minister is very busy every day, working late every day, with only four hours of sleep at most-" Sidney Milner smiled wryly, the position of prime minister is not easy to do, who knows.

As the prime minister of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, Ade's daily busyness can be imagined, so most of the regional government officials serve for two terms at most, and no matter how long the time is, the body really can't stand it.

If everyone is like Ade, it can really tire people to death.

"You still have to remind the prime minister that the work is not finished, and that you can work more efficiently by resting, and that the federal government has so many officials that you can't work and let the prime minister do it alone." If Luo Ke becomes the emperor, he will definitely be a faint monarch in the traditional sense, at least a "lazy government" cannot escape.

"Of course I warned, but unfortunately it didn't work—" Sidney Milner looked at Roque with mixed eyes, presumably blaming Roque for persuading Ade to return to southern Africa.

But it's more about gratitude.

If Ade doesn't go to southern Africa, then he will be marginalized in London, and Sidney Milner will have no future.

Now that Ade is back in the Federation of Southern Africa as Prime Minister, Sidney Milner is the first secretary of the federal government, and it can really be said that one person is above ten thousand people, so Sidney Milner's feelings for Roque are complicated.

Most of the time it should be grateful.

Otherwise, Sidney Milner wouldn't have been so kind to Roque.

"Well, I'll admit it, I'm causing a lot of trouble for the prime minister." Roque took the initiative to admit his mistake, Nyasaland has a lot of things to do during this time, and it is estimated that Ade is also very big.

"No, no, no, my lord, it's not your problem, this friction between Nyasaland and Tanganyika is actually good for the federal government, at least it can make us unanimous, and during this time Orange is very calm, and Minister Botha rarely goes to Pretoria to ask for money-" Sidney Milner laughed, there are two sides to everything, and from Nyasaland's point of view, the friction between Nyasaland and Tanganyika is indeed very serious.

But from the point of view of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, this little thing between Nyasaland and Tanganyika is not all bad.

This is also the norm in the countries of the world, and before Germany provoked the arms race, it created friction between Morocco and France to justify the need to strengthen armaments.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the rise of the navy is really not something that one or two warships can decide, otherwise there would be no saying that "ten years of land and one hundred years of navy" would not have been said.

Speaking of the Navy, the construction of cruisers has now begun in Nyasaland.
