Half a month ago, the Military Intelligence Agency arrested a dancer named Mata Hari in Paris, who was originally from Germany, served the German intelligence agencies, became famous in Paris, had affairs with many high-ranking officials in France, and became acquainted with Chris who worked beside Kitchener during his visit to Paris.

It's not that that makes Roque angry, there is nothing wrong with the MIA arresting Chris per se, but it is very problematic for the MIA to arrest Chris in southern Africa.

According to the previous agreement between the MIA and Brad, even if Chris has military status and is a standard British, then in the case of Chris coming to southern Africa with Kitchener, the MIA should first notify Brad of the relevant situation, and then Brad will send someone to arrest Chris, and finally extradite him to the MIA.

Instead of not notifying Brad at all as it is now, Chris was arrested in Walvis Bay.

To put it bluntly, it is a question of law enforcement powers, and under the premise that southern Africa already has a high degree of autonomy, British law enforcement has lost law enforcement powers in southern Africa, so the arrest of Chris by the MIA in Walvis Bay is itself illegal.

As for the death of Kitchener on the way to Russia, the follow-up investigation results are also more complicated, involving the coordination of the British Royal Navy and the Army, and there are also serious problems with the Intelligence Directorate and Operations Department within the Royal Navy, which ultimately led to the serious consequences of Kitchener's death, and Chris's leak is of course one of the reasons.

Now that Kitchener is still alive and well, his physical condition and mental condition seem to be good, and Roque also hopes that Kitchener can better act as a lubricant between the governments of Southern Africa and the United Kingdom, and how good it would be for everyone to make money and make a fortune together.

"Chris has been working with me for many years, I didn't expect to do this kind of thing, it should be my fault, if I had been more strict with Chris, then this would not have happened." Kitchener was very guilty, and it was understandable to think about it, if something happened to Angel or Barton, Roque would definitely be very guilty.

"Marshal, it's not your fault, Chris is an adult and should be held accountable for his actions." Roque tried his best to comfort that Kitchener was already a man of his seventies, having served the British Empire all his life, but he did not expect to lose his life at this time.

No matter what Roque says, if something happens to the people around Kitchener, Kitchener must be responsible, and this is also a big scandal for the War Department, and Roark can now understand why Winston let Kitchener come to Southern Africa, which is also protective to Kitchener to a certain extent.

"Don't comfort me, I'm not going to be knocked down, but what's the matter with you? Is it bad for southern Africa to stay within the British Empire? Why? Kitchener did not need Roque's comfort at all, and the conversation immediately turned to the relationship between Southern Africa and the British Empire.

"What?" Roque was confused and didn't know what Kitchin was referring to.

"Commonwealth! Didn't you tell the two Boers to bring it up? "Kitchener still has a prejudice against the Boers, and is indeed an eccentric and stubborn little old man.

"Marshal, regardless of whether Yang and Louis proposed the Commonwealth at my behest, do you think the previous model between the British Empire and the Overseas Dominions is still suitable for the current situation?" Roark did not directly deny that the establishment of the Commonwealth was definitely not Roque's opinion alone, just after Jan Smoltz and Louis Botha proposed the establishment of the Commonwealth, which was unanimously agreed by the representatives of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries, and even the colony of India welcomed the proposal of the Commonwealth, and the general trend has become irreversible.

"In any case, it shouldn't have been you Southern Africa who made this suggestion—" Kitchener also knew that today was different, but the deep-rooted loyalty of traditional soldiers made Kitchener unacceptable.

"It's the same whoever comes up with it, of course it's better for London to come up with this initiative, but London won't do that." Roque disagrees with Kitchener that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the moment the industrial output of southern Africa surpasses that of the United Kingdom is doomed.

Just as Roque and Kitchener were having a heated discussion, the car passed by the headquarters building of the Rand Bank, and Kitchener was obviously shocked by the 230-meter-high main building, and forgot to argue with Roark for a while.

"This is the headquarters of RAND Bank in Nyasaland, 230 meters high, the pride of Nyasaland." Roque explained softly that there are no such tall buildings in London, and Big Ben, which makes Londoners proud, is only 97 meters.

Of course, Big Ben is not the pride of Londoners because of its height, but the skyscrapers undoubtedly represent the pinnacle of the region's industry, and the symbolism of Big Ben is more important than that of the Nyasaland headquarters.

"It's incredible, when was this building built?" Even during the World War, Nyasaland products were sold in Europe, Kitchener never expected that Nyasaland would come to face in such a shocking situation.

"About two or three years ago, I didn't know it, I was in Europe." Roque doesn't care about these things, and the current Roque is also a high-rise building, building skyscrapers, and such a small thing, Roque will no longer ask specifically.

Kitchina stopped talking, leaning back in his chair and watching the fleeting street scene out the car window in silence.

Sunset Avenue is indeed very good, with a rare width in British cities, most of the streets in the UK are narrow and curved, there are few straight streets with a width of about 100 meters on Sunset Avenue, the streets are separated by green belts on both sides of the street, and the shops are lined up, and many shops use colorful neon signs on their signs, although it is daytime, but those shops still turn on the lights in order to attract customers, as if the electricity bill does not need money.

Kitchener suddenly realized that if the lights could be turned on even during the day, then the electricity supply in Los Angeles should be sufficient, which is also not possible in London today.

London now only has a stable power supply in the main city, the suburbs are equally unstable, and most civilian households cannot afford electric lights at all, which is a huge gap with Los Angeles, where street lights have been installed along Sunset Boulevard, and they are still dense.

Because of the arrival of Kitchina, Sunset Avenue was temporarily closed, and there were police cars on duty at every intersection, and the police cars in Nyasaland were painted blue and white, which was pleasing to the eye, but it was also more expensive to do, but unfortunately Kitchin was not aware of this now.

In addition to the Rand Building, the buildings on both sides of Sunset Avenue are also very stylish, the wooden houses on both sides of the street have gradually replaced with white marble buildings, and buildings with more than ten floors abound, only two or three storeys are more than ten meters high, and the roofs are often decorated with sculptures and minarets.

The density of parks, squares and green spaces on both sides of the road is also staggering, which is almost impossible for a city where space is at a premium, but in Los Angeles there are public spaces almost every few hundred meters.

The flatness of the road also surprised Kitchener, who was easy to build a road like Sunset Boulevard in a big city like Los Angeles, but the maintenance was even more troublesome, and the Los Angeles city government clearly did a good job of this, and Kitchener didn't even feel the bumps in the car as it drove all the way.

"It's incredible, it didn't take long for Nyasaland to become your fiefdom—" Kitchener reflected, after the end of the world war, Kitchener was promoted to the rank of Marquis like Roque, and compared to Roque's fiefdom of Nyasaland, Kitchener's fiefdom-

Don't talk about it.

"I'm not alone in Nyasaland right now, you know, I don't spend much time in Nyasaland every year." Roque is not proud, Nyasaland could be better.

The car sped all the way to the Rhodesia Hotel, where Kitchener stayed during his stay in Los Angeles.

Because of the long journey, it was Kitchener's welcome dinner in the evening, and after Roque and Philip sent Kitchener to the room, they had time to go to Angel's wedding banquet to send blessings to the two couples.

It was only after returning to Eagle Castle that Roque called Fox over and asked if Fox knew about the CIA's arrest of Chris in Walvis Bay.

"The MIA didn't inform us of the situation in advance, and after the CIA knew that Chris had defected, Chris was already on the way to Walvis Bay with Marshal Kitchener, and as soon as Chris got off the ship, the CIA arrested Chris, and then put him on the passenger ship back to London, and when we knew the situation, the passenger ship Chris was on had already left Walvis Bay." Fox was full of guilt, he didn't expect the CIA to do this, not long after the agreement was reached, the CIA took the initiative to tear up the agreement.

"Send a telegram to London, ask London to give a reasonable explanation, and by the way, sort out a list of MIA members, if London does not give a reasonable explanation, then all MIA personnel are strictly prohibited from entering southern Africa." Roque will not let go of the MIA easily, there is a first time in everything, there is a second time, and if Roque endures, it will only make the CIA more arrogant.

"The Military Intelligence Agency has a few companies on our side, engaged in trade between southern Africa and the mainland, do you want to attack these companies?" Fox was also furious, the London Military Intelligence Agency simply didn't take Brad seriously, otherwise there wouldn't have been even a briefing.

"Then do it right away, and find a way to let London know that southern Africa is no longer the southern Africa of the British Empire." Roque will not back down, Britain can appoint a governor of southern Africa, but it cannot send intelligence officers to southern Africa, this is Roque's bottom line.
