It's hard to imagine the Duke of Windsor's decision to give up the throne to marry Mrs. Simpson.

If you want to talk about love, Mrs. Simpson doesn't love the Duke of Windsor, at least not to the point where the Duke of Windsor doesn't marry, after all, she still has trysts with other men during the love period.

If you want to say that for the sake of Britain, it is even more nonsense, when the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Simpson got married, World War II had not yet broken out, and Britain was not reduced to an existential situation.

Well, it's fascinating anyway.

Eddie Gray's behavior is also very confusing, and when he was found by staff in Bullard's office and the Prime Minister's Office, he was in the rain and clouds with the lady Alicia in the presidential suite of the Rhodesia Hotel-

That scene can't be described, it can only be said that it is old and exciting.

To add insult to injury, Eddie Gray carries with him a memo of Philip and Hoover's conversation, and Eddie Gray argues that he was going to work overnight in the presidential suite of the Rhodesia Hotel to sort out the memo of Philip and Hoover's conversation.

This reason is unacceptable, and Eddie Gray and Alicia were brought back to the peninsula by the Prime Minister's Office for investigation for endangering the national security of southern Africa in an improper manner.

For Eddie Gray's behavior, Philip has only one sentence: investigate seriously and deal with it seriously.

Philip didn't dig into the Alicia thing, but asked Paul Norman to call Ms. Alicia's husband and ask him to come and take him away.

"We don't yet know exactly how much information Ms. Alicia got from Eddie." Jan Smozi suggested tactfully, not wanting to let Alicia go so easily.

It is said that Mr. Eddie Gray is over forty years old, and like many British men, Eddie Gray is not good at managing his body, just over forty years old, his body is seriously fat, not to mention the short body is also bald, the standard Mediterranean hairstyle, with rosacea and a mouthful of rotten teeth, if there is no other reason, there are really few ladies who can look up to Eddie Gray.

Oh, that lady Alicia is still very beautiful, the standard blonde beauty, the kind of courtesan who often haunts high society.

"It's okay—" Philip didn't care.

The conversation between Philip and Hoover has basically nothing to do with Britain, and even if there is, Philip doesn't care if London knows or not.

What's more, what can I do if I know it, the British Empire can't afford to lose southern Africa now, and Philip has nothing to fear.

"I'm going to send a telegram to Joseph and ask what Joseph means." Jan Smoltz was very angry, and after Stanley Baldwin became Prime Minister, Joseph Chamberlain was appointed Foreign Secretary.

Southern Africa was previously under the jurisdiction of the British Colonial Office.

After the World War, Southern Africa was granted a greater degree of autonomy, and Britain finally managed its relations with Southern Africa in a normal diplomatic manner, so the affairs of Southern Africa were transferred to the British Foreign Office.

It should be said that the relationship between the Chamberlain family and southern Africa is still very good, and Joseph is Neville's elder brother, so he should not go too far.

"Don't ask, most of the results are nothing, and Joseph may not even know." Philip didn't have much hope, Neville and Roque had a good relationship, but that didn't mean that the Chamberlain family would lean toward southern Africa on major issues of right and wrong.

What's more, Roque is not yet the prime minister of southern Africa, and Neville is not the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and their personal relationship will not play much role in improving relations between the two countries now.

"London should spend more energy on France and Germany than on us in southern Africa." After giving up the throne of global hegemony, Britain still began to develop in the direction of "-stirring sticks" according to the historical trajectory of another time and space.

This is the embarrassment of Britain now, Britain has lost the ability to dominate the world, but it still refuses to let go of its former imperial glory, desperately brushing its presence everywhere, maintaining the ethereal so-called "right to speak".

The "right to speak" is not brushed out, but actually typed.

The direct dialogue between the United States and Southern Africa, which completely abandons Britain this time, is a true portrayal of the current international situation, in which the glory of the old empire is gone, and the rising star is emerging, and Southern Africa and the United States cannot wait to raise their voices and formulate international rules led by both sides.

Well, it's too early to say "international", the center of the world is still the Old Continent, whether it is South America or Africa, it is still a wild place in the eyes of the people of the Old World.

This bias persists into the twenty-first century.

"What is Locke doing?" Philip asked Roark suddenly.

After Philip left Southern Africa, Roque acted as prime minister as defense minister, and Philip was still a little curious about Roque's ability to govern.

Roque's military capabilities are now recognized as the number one Allied forces, the unquestionable kind.

The ability to govern is not very obvious, after all, on the surface, the development of Nyasaland is not much directly related to Roque.

Summing up Roque's governance in Nyasaland in one sentence: immigrants, immigrants, crazy immigrants –

"Locke inspects the farm in Bechuana-" Jan Smoltz looked strange, according to what he knew about Roque, Roque was now in power, as if he should be eager to start a foreign war, in order to fit Roque's character.

"Inspect the farm—" Philip frowned, what was there to inspect the farm, especially Bechuana's.

Philip has not been to Bechuana since he became prime minister.

Obviously, Philip did not understand the meaning of the phrase "the people eat for the sky".

Roque's understanding of this sentence is very profound.

Throughout the ages, as long as the common people have something to eat, they will not rebel, and the industrial development of southern Africa is very good, and the development of agriculture cannot be neglected, as early as the time when Johannesburg was the chief of police, Roque was very concerned about this issue.

Philip and Jan Smuts talked about Roque when Roque was a guest on a farm in Rhodes owned by a man named Brewster, who was a patrolman under Roque when he was police chief in Johannesburg.

"Lord, you became the chief of police, that was twenty years ago, and it's normal for me to retire now—" Brewster entertained Roque on his farm, with the farm's own wines and eggs pickled on the table, and Brewster's wife and two daughters-in-law preparing dinner outside the house.

"Don't you have a farm in Johannesburg? Why run to Bechuana? Roque was surprised that almost every officer at the Johannesburg Police Department had bought farms of varying amounts.

The price of a farm in Johannesburg is a world away from what it was then, and with Roque's understanding of prices, Brewster can live very well on the farm even in Johannesburg.

"Speaking of which, I must thank you, Lord, if it weren't for the farm in Johannesburg, there would be no Brewster now—" Brewster took the initiative to pour water for Roque, and looked at Roque with gratitude in his eyes: "-I remember that back then, I only had about £15 a month-"

"Wait Brewster, I think you were only about five pounds at the time—" Roque still had a good memory.

"Yes, my lord, it's true that the nominal income is only five pounds—" Brewster's expression was strange, and he puffed out his cheeks and forced a forced smile, "-But you probably forgot that working under you, we patrol officers have a lot of gray income that is not reflected in the salary, and this is all the benefits you give us-"

Brewster's words sparked laughter, especially from Smalls and Sidney Milner.

Roque also smiled dumbly, it had been more than twenty years, and he had indeed forgotten about it.

"At that time it was only a pound a pound a year on a farm a pound, and then it went up to fifteen pounds, twenty pounds, and I bought a 350-acre farm in Purple Town at a pound, and sold it at twenty pounds a pound, and then I came to Bechuana and bought the current farm - oh, sir, this farm I have now, about 5,000 acres-" Brewster triumphantly, 5,000 acres of farm is indeed large enough, and it is rare in southern Africa today.

"Wow – 5,000 acres!" Sidney Milner duly expressed surprise and admiration, and Si smiled silently.

Xiao Si and Roque's farms, which are calculated in units of "10,000 square kilometers", are almost never used as a unit of measurement.

Even Sidney Milner, who has followed Roque's investment over the years, has begun to use "square kilometres" as a unit of measurement, and in Victoria, Sidney Milner's farms exceed 3,000 square kilometres.

"How many people in your family, even if you use machinery, so many farms, it is difficult to fully exploit them, right?" Roque is still concerned with farm management, which is the foundation of Southern Africa.

"Alas, the children are thinking differently than us old fellows, my three sons and three daughters, the daughters all married into the big city and stayed in the city to live and work, one of the three sons died in France during the World War, one worked in the Johannesburg city government, the younger son just graduated from the University of Nyasaland, and he can only go home once a year to work in Los Angeles, what is the use of me buying such a large farm, and none of the children want to take over—" Brewster looked gloomy, like many fathers, There is a serious generation gap between him and his children, and they don't understand each other.

"The children have grown up, have their own ideals, have their own pursuits, and those of us as fathers cannot interfere with the children's choices, we can only give them some advice, and reserve the last warm harbor for them-" Roque also had a relative, saying that Arthur's little bastard had never returned since he went to Cyprus.

What a son of man.
