Don't say it's in Canada, even in Nyasaland, what Roque wants to do, he must first listen to Anton and Sharon (Speaker of the Nyasaland Parliament), and can't just go his own way.

Democracy is essentially the dictatorship of the majority over the minority, and the Chinese are a minority in Canada, and there is a long way to go to improve the status of the Chinese, and there is one person who cannot get around it in any way.

That is William Leon Mackenzie King, who has a good chance of becoming Canada's next prime minister.

Born in Berlin, Ontario in 1974 and not yet 50 years old, King is a hard-line man known as a strongman in Canadian politics, who succeeded Llorrieux as leader of the Liberal Party after the death of his former leader of the Liberal Party last year.

Llorier was the first French-Canadian in Canadian history to serve as Prime Minister.

Interestingly, the Canadian Liberal Party has a close relationship with the Southern African Liberal Party, which was founded in 1873 and was formerly known as the Reform Party of the Upper and Lower Canadian Provinces during the period of 1791~1840 when the provinces were representative in the provinces.

In 1854, the political forces of the eastern and western parts of the Canadian province were reorganized, with the gravel faction of Western Canada and the Red Party of Eastern Canada as the core to develop into the Liberal Party.

While Arthur and Gavin were campaigning for the advancement of Chinese Canadians, a meeting was being held at the Liberal Party headquarters in Ottawa on how to deal with the external threats Canada was facing.

The "external threat" here includes the United States, but also Southern Africa.

"The Speaker of the Southern African Parliament, Mr. Buck, threatened us at the Imperial Assembly that if we do not remove discrimination against Chinese Americans in Canada, improve the social status of Chinese Americans, and protect the right to life of Chinese Americans, then Southern Africa will retaliate against us. Kim briefed the Liberal Party top brass at the meeting on the latest developments, and the conference room was immediately in an uproar.

"Didn't Lord Nyasaland already promise Sir Bowdoin?"

"Southern Africa is too much, it's just too deceitful!"

"We should not be silent, we should complain to London about the behaviour of southern Africa."

"Get all those yellow monkeys out of Canada—"

Jin can turn a deaf ear to the previous words, and when the "yellow monkey" blurts out, Jin's eyes immediately become stern.

"Gentlemen, be quiet, I heard the word 'yellow monkey' used just now, and I hope this is the last time." Kim is a smart man, and he did propose a complete ban on the importation of Chinese immigrants, but after clarifying the reaction of southern Africa, Kim has completely given up.

The fundamental purpose of Kim targeting the Chinese is for the votes of Canada, not because the Chinese are angry and resentful.

Now, if he provokes anger in southern Africa because of his targeting of the Chinese, then even if Kim succeeds in winning the prime minister's position, then he will face even greater trouble.

Smart people know what to do.

"Ha, Kim, I remember that you were the most fierce against the Chinese before, what? No longer a complete ban on the importation of Chinese immigrants? The one who made a lot of nonsense ridiculed each other, and the politician really turned his face faster than he turned the book.

"Oh, Mr. Cole, make it clear, Chinese immigrants now have a better place to go, they can go to Southern Africa, they can go to the East Indies, they can even go to Najd, no one will come to Canada stupidly, in that case, why should we offend the Marquis of Nyasaland." Kim is very realistic, and this is indeed the case, since about a decade ago, fewer and fewer Chinese immigrants have come to Canada.

"Why are you all so afraid of that Marquis of Nyasaland? He's thousands of miles away, and this is Canada! Cole was heartbroken and impassioned.

"Cole, it's been a long time since you've been to the Old World—" someone asked faintly.

"So what?" Cole was not yet aware of Roque's influence in Europe.

"Cole, you can dislike the Marquis of Nyasaland, but you can't ignore his influence, let me tell you, if the Marquis of Nyasaland is unwilling, then Canada will not be able to get any help from the British Empire." Jin is also helpless, there are so many people who sit in the well and watch the sky.

"Hahahaha, it's a joke - the Marquis of Nyasaland is only a marquis, not a king yet—" Cole said nothing, and as soon as he said this, most of the people in the meeting changed their faces.

"Cole, pay attention to your words!"

"Am I wrong?"

"You're like a stupid pig!"

"You're a pig, you should change your name to Leather—"

"Enough!" Jin was furious and looked at Cole with a cold gaze: "Cole, shut your mouth, don't force me to kick you out of the committee." ”

Cole's face changed several times, but he finally closed his mouth with a blue face.

"This is the case, the Marquis of Nyasaland's demands are not excessive, as long as the Chinese are given a normal social status, and the interests of the Chinese are not put above the British and French, Mr. Owen of the Southern African Liberal Party also sent me a telegram reminding us not to stimulate the self-esteem of the Chinese in Southern Africa, and once I am elected Prime Minister, I will revise all the discriminatory clauses against the Chinese - " Kim has the absolute right to speak in the Liberal Party, and when he speaks, his eyes sweep over the faces of the committee members one by one, who is in favor? Who is against?

The committee members sat precariously and did not speak.

"—now we move on to the next topic, how to deal with the American threat." Kim quickly skipped, if the threat in southern Africa is the future, then the American threat is now.

"If we improve the living conditions of the Chinese, will the Marquis of Nyasaland send troops to help us?" There are concerns that southern Africa is now Canada's only lifeline.

"It should be, of course, we still need to fight for it, I have asked Mr. Owen to persuade the Marquis of Nyasaland, General Derek Dodd, the Deputy Minister of Defense of Southern Africa, is visiting Mexico, and London is also interested in entrusting the Bahamas to Southern Africa, and once Southern Africa has a military base in Mexico or the Bahamas, then our pressure will be greatly relieved." Kim did work for the Rockefeller Foundation, but that doesn't mean Kim was bought by the Americans.

When Kim worked for the Rockefeller Foundation, the world war was going on, and at that time the Allies and the Allies were deadlocked, it was normal for King to take the initiative to find potential partners to work with.

Now that the world war is over, and southern Africa has shown great economic power and war potential, Kim is not a qualified leader if he does not know what to do at this time.

Let's not forget the Kim of another time and space, who is known as the most outstanding prime minister in Canadian history.

However, it is not easy for southern Africa to set up military bases in Mexico or the Bahamas, and the United States has always attached great importance to South America, regarding South America as a forbidden territory of the United States, just as the United States is trying to meddle in the internal affairs of the Republic of the Congo, and southern Africa will absolutely not allow it.

Of course, from the standpoint of southern Africa, there is the first year of the United States, and there is the fifteenth year of southern Africa, and if the United States can meddle in the Republic of the Congo, then southern Africa can also meddle in Mexico or the Bahamas.

"It would be great if that were the case."

"We can also take out a piece of land and invite a military base in southern Africa!"

"Americans won't agree—"

"This is our internal affair, why should the Americans interfere?"

"In fact, there is indeed a similar proposal in southern Africa to have a military base somewhere on the Atlantic coast, preferably somewhere on Nova Scotia." Kim's news made the committee members extremely excited.

"Nova Scotia? That's Halifax – "Someone immediately guessed the purpose of Southern Africa."

Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia and is strategically located and is known as the "Guardian of the North."

Halifax itself is a natural ice-free port, before 1905, there was a British army and naval base, after 05 years the British army withdrew, Canadian troops stationed, but considering the strength of the Canadian troops, the "Northern Guard" is now in name only.

The Nova Scotia Peninsula is an interesting place, and if you look at the place names, Sydney, Dartmouth, Enfield, Bedford, St. John's, St. George's and so on, you can't imagine that this is Canada.

"That's right, it's Halifax." Kim remained silent, and he had another purpose in throwing out this issue.

The committee members are not stupid, the guy who made a lot of nonsense just now was just reprimanded by Jin, and at this time everyone was very well-behaved and very smart not to speak.

"Southern Africa will lease Halifax to build a military base on a lend-lease basis, and we don't need to bear the construction costs, but we will bear the cost of garrisoning the troops in Southern Africa, and the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa promises that this part of the cost will not exceed one million rand a year." Jin is also in a dilemma, these conditions sound good, but I am afraid that it is easy to invite God and send God.

It was even more difficult for the commissioners, many people didn't even know the exchange rate between the rand and the Canadian dollar, and when Kim suddenly said this, everyone was a little confused.

One million is not much, and if one million a year can be paid to ensure the safety of Canada, then it will definitely be worth it.

"Since it's a lease, there must be a rent—"

"Southern Africa is very rich, I heard that the annual military expenditure reaches more than 50 million, can you ask more?"

"What do you want, is it okay to use rent to offset protection money?"

"Hey, it's so ugly, Southern Africa and Canada are both overseas Dominions of the Commonwealth, what protection fee is not protection money-"

The committee members talked a lot, and the golden hand supported the chin with a cold look in his eyes.

Shouldn't there be a debate about whether or not to set up a military base in Halifax in southern Africa, while a bunch of people are struggling with how much to pay for rent and protection each year.

Tired!
