455 Responsible
Dylan Calami and Sidney Richards never imagined how vulnerable the Portuguese would be to the fact that the Portuguese had adhered to the colonial system for hundreds of years and were vulnerable to the active attack of professionals.
Compared with the mercenaries of Nyasaland, the servant army formed by the Lorenço Marguis royalists was really a rabble, and Louis Brod only paid a few small favors, plus some vague promises, so that the servant army formed by the royalists turned against them on the battlefield, and finally led to the complete defeat of the royalists.
The brutality of the white colonists was evident at this point, and when the Labour Party took control of Lorenço Marques, hundreds of royalists who had not had time to flee were executed in the streets, their property looted, their wives and daughters humiliated, and when Dylan Calamy and Sidney Richards returned to Lorenço Marques, they were faced with the devastation of the entire city.
That's when Dylan Karami and Sidney Richards really understood what peace and stability really meant for a country.
Dylan Karami and Sidney Richards were even more determined to join Nyasaland, and on 20 January, on behalf of the newly formed interim government, Dylan Karami submitted an application to the Federal Government of Southern Africa, hoping to be accepted by the Federal Government of Southern Africa and become part of Southern Africa.
This, of course, is what Roque meant.
Although Dylan Calami and Sidney Richards still hoped to join Nyasaland, Roque could not accept it, and after the upheaval of Lorenço Marques, the King of Portugal and the Portuguese government issued stern statements claiming that they absolutely could not accept the independence of Lorenço Marques, and at the same time clamored for the formation of an expeditionary force to go to Lorenço Marques to wipe out the rebels of Lorenço Marques.
At the same time, the King of Portugal and the Portuguese government telegraphed London, hoping that London would restrain the behavior of southern Africa and refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of the Portuguese colonies.
What really scared Roque was that the British government's attitude towards the federal government of Southern Africa had changed at this time.
Before the autonomy of southern Africa, southern Africa was a serious British territory, so the British government supported the expansion of southern Africa, and in order to complete the "two Cs plan", London even set up a special service training base in Nyasaland to achieve the external expansion of southern Africa.
After the establishment of the federal government, although nominally southern Africa was still nominally part of the British Commonwealth, after all, southern Africa was no longer under the direct jurisdiction of the British government, so the British government's attitude towards southern Africa has now undergone a subtle change.
Just after the King of Portugal sent a telegram to Edward VII, Edward VII issued an obscure statement, condemning the grave violence of Lorenço Marques and stressing the need to maintain the existing colonial order and the interests of the colonial overlords.
It was this statement by Edward VII that made Roque wary of London's attitude, which is why Dylan Calami and Sidney Richards asked to join Southern Africa instead of Nyasaland.
Like Roque, Ade did not make a decision immediately, and after receiving an application from the provisional government of Lorenzo Marques, Ade immediately called Roque to Pretoria.
"The matter of Lorenço Marques really has nothing to do with Nyasaland, it is completely the death of the Portuguese government, coupled with the inherent contradictions in the Lorenço Marques area, which led to the infighting in Lorenço Marques, Dylan Calami did go to Nyasaland, but it was for business, not some conspiracy - the Port Edward police captured Samson in another operation, and Samson is currently being held in Port Edward, is Samson going to be sent to Cape Town for trial?" Roque would certainly not admit that Lorenço Marques's mess had something to do with Nyasaland, and threw out Samson's news at the right time.
Samson was still unable to survive Brad's interrogation and confess all the facts of the crime, and the Justice Department made another big gain this time, digging out a large number of illegal officials, including Mark Moore, an independent prosecutor in the federal government.
Mark Moore, a German who was a prominent lawyer in Cape Town before the federal government was formed, became one of only three independent prosecutors in the federal government.
Mark More was not directly related to Samson's attack on the train, but after Samson's attack on the train, Mark More provided Samson with a certain level of protection within his authority, which led to Samson's successful escape to German South-West Africa.
Without this incident, Mark Moore, as an independent prosecutor in the federal government, would have enjoyed a preeminent position in Southern Africa and would have achieved so much in the future.
Now that Mark More's political career is over, the federal court will hold a public trial of Mark More for his crimes, and even if Mark More is not guilty of death, he will not be qualified to serve as an independent prosecutor, and he will not even be able to establish himself in southern Africa, according to the current laws in southern Africa, Mark More will most likely be exiled to India or Ceylon.
It may seem a bit abnormal, but even if Southern Africa is independent, Southern Africa is still eligible to exile criminals to other parts of the Commonwealth, and this qualification is not available to ordinary people, unless they are eligible to be exiled only in the federal government.
"Just caught?" Ade was successfully led astray by Roque.
"I just learned about a week ago, when the Port Edward police discovered Samson's hideout and arrested him." Roque was not ashamed.
"And what is the statement of the Governor of German South-West Africa?" Ade looked at Roque with disgust, this statement is really too perfunctory, it has been done to this extent, can't you use dim sum, this is a suitable statement?
"God knows what the Germans thought, maybe it was just a German smoke bomb trying to interfere with our arrest of Samson, but luckily the Port Edward police were vigilant enough." Roque really didn't bother to think of a reason, the Germans still claimed in the newspapers that the British were all cannibals, and there were still a lot of people who believed it.
Ade didn't dwell on this issue, as for whether Ade has exceeded the one-month deadline given to Henry and Roque now, it doesn't matter, you can't punish Henry and Roque for this matter, at most the merit is offset.
"And what about Lorenzo Marques? Before, the Portuguese government was only speculative, without any evidence, and now that the provisional government of Lourenço Marques has applied to join Southern Africa, how are you going to deal with the pressure from Portugal? Roque never expected that Ade, a pure Englishman, would be so honest.
"Hehe, Lourenço Marques is willing to join Southern Africa, which shows that our Southern Africa is far more attractive to Lorenço Marques than the benefits of being a Portuguese colony, so shouldn't Portugal reflect? What qualifications do they have to put pressure on us? It wasn't us who took the initiative to annex Lorenzo Marques. "Roque will not care about the reaction of the Portuguese government, if he has the ability, he will really send an expeditionary force over, Roque has ordered the Port Edward garrison to prepare, if the Portuguese government really dares to form an expeditionary force, then Roque also dares to really send troops to Lorenzo Marques.
This possibility is very small, as far as the current situation in Portugal is concerned, the formation of an expeditionary force is probably just talk, and the telegram sent by the King of Portugal to Edward VII is likely to be diverted from the domestic attention with the help of the upheaval of Lorenzo Marques, otherwise it would not have been published in the newspapers with great fanfare.
If this kind of thing happened in the British Commonwealth, then it would be too late for the British government to cover up its shame, and it would not let the outside world know about it at all.
"No way, we can't accept Lorenço Marques, at least not yet." Ade weighed it for a long time, but finally did not agree.
Compared with Lorenzo Marques, the national image of southern Africa is still relatively important, and Ade does not expand around unscrupulously like Roque, without caring about the national image, and there are still concerns.
"Then we should at least send troops to Lorenço Marques to maintain order in Lorenço Marques to ensure that Eswatini, Natal, and Rhodesia are not influenced by Lorenço Marques, and as for the future of Lorenço Marques, we can let Lorenço Marques people vote and let Lorenço Marques decide the fate of Lorenço Marques himself." Roque will not be restrained, the melee between the Labor Party and the Loyalists has burned most of Lorenço Marques, and to rebuild Lorenço Marques in the future, it will cost all the money of southern Africa.
"What's the difference between this and armed occupation?" Ade didn't expect Roque's attitude to be so radical.
"Of course, the armed occupation was imposed on Lorenço Marques by us in southern Africa on its own initiative, and now it is Lorenço Marques who has taken the initiative to ask for help from our southern Africa, which are two different things." Roque is indeed radical, but not arrogant, and Southern Africa has the strength to do so.
"Lorenzo Marques volunteered?" Ade was still confused, and it was clear that Lorenço Marques did not have similar words on his application to the federal government.
"Hehe, if necessary, Lorenço Marques can make up for it at any time." Roque finally confessed.
Ade was so hateful, Roque had just said that the current chaos in Lorenço Marques had nothing to do with Nyasaland.
Roque sat across from Ade's desk, calmly accepting Ade's gaze.
Ade glared at Roque for a long time before waving his hand to let Roque out.
Then on the application of Lourenço Marques, he solemnly signed his name.
After all, he is the prime minister, and he still has the responsibility he should have, and he will not let Roque take the blame for everything.
