Stanley Bruce knew that Johnny Child was hospitalized due to illness, and Stanley Bruce was having dinner with Henry Foster, the Governor of Australia, at Arralenla Manor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Governor General is a very magical presence in Australia, nominally the representative of the Australian monarch, that is, the representative of the King of England. According to the current Australian and British law, Australia and the United Kingdom share a monarch, and this monarch should be resident in the United Kingdom, but the British king certainly does not stay in Australia all year round, so the Governor General of Australia generally exercises the position of head of state.

The Governor has a great deal of power, and as the plenipotentiary representative of the Australian monarch, the Governor of Australia has a great deal of power in law. The Constitution gives the Governor the supreme executive power of the State, and the Governor is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, who can make and repeal decrees, and has the power to appoint and dismiss Parliament, Ministers and Prime Ministers.

However, in accordance with the traditional Westminster tradition in the United Kingdom, the Governor does not interfere with the administration and exercises his powers on the advice of the Prime Minister

The Australian political system in the twenties of the twentieth century is different from the twenty-first century, in the past history, in 1930, the United Kingdom determined the independent status of a self-governing territory, since then, the Australian governor is nominated by the Australian prime minister, the British king as the Australian monarch, the so-called "review" is just a formality, the British king will never oppose the Australian prime minister's nomination, in the matter of the appointment of the governor, the king only follows the Australian prime minister's opinion, Without considering the recommendations of the British Prime Minister and Parliament, in fact, the power to appoint and remove the Governor of Australia in the twenty-first century is in the hands of the Prime Minister of Australia, and the "Governor" is only a national symbol.

It's not the same now, although Australia is fighting for independent status, but Britain has not agreed, so the Governor of Australia is now the head of state of Australia appointed by the King of England, although the Governor does not interfere in the administration, but if you want to take the position of Prime Minister of Australia, you must strive for the Governor's support.

Henry Forster was also a nobleman, and as the first Baron Forster, the difference in the importance of the Governor and the Prime Minister to Australia can be seen from the title.

Stanley Bruce's title is Viscount.

Because of the gap in the title, Henry Foster did not have much to say in the face of Stanley Bruce, and Stanley Bruce also had the heart to befriend Henry Foster.

Well, that's all nonsense, in fact, it can be described in one sentence, Henry Foster and Stanley Bruce are drinking high-

Britain does not have a "Prohibition Act", and even in terms of the proportion of alcoholism, the situation in Britain is much more serious than that in the United States, which is more excessive than "son".

Of course, this can also be understood as "son" is more civilized than "Lao Tzu", although the degree of "civilization" is also limited, but it is also in line with the ultimate meaning of "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach".

After receiving the news that Johnny Child was hospitalized due to illness, Stanley Bruce did not have the heart to continue drinking, and said goodbye to Henry Foster to visit Johnny Child in the hospital.

"Oh, okay, please take me to Mr. Johnny, I'll visit him another day." Henry understood how important Johnny was to Stanley.

This is the sadness of the staff, although Henry knows Johnny, he will not go to visit Johnny with Stanley, this is when Stanley behaves, Henry will not steal Stanley's limelight.

Of course, this "visit another day" is just a politeness, and it is not a person worthy of a visit by the Governor of Australia, Johnny is only important to Stanley, and for Henry, Johnny is not an indispensable figure in Henry's life.

It was these two sentences that brought the latest news: Johnny Child died in the hospital.

Died -

The word itself has a strong flavor of intrigue.

"Johnny was assassinated, and this matter must be investigated to the end." Stanley gritted his teeth.

Now that the man is dead, Stanley is not busy saying goodbye.

Johnny was really important to Stanley when he was alive, but Johnny who died was of no use to Stanley, and Stanley would certainly show the camaraderie of his employer, but that would only be at Johnny's funeral.

"Don't talk nonsense when you don't have evidence, it will affect your judgment." As the Governor-General, Henry is detached from Australia, so Henry can stay out of the situation and look at things with the most calm eyes.

But Stanley didn't want to be calm, Henry knew Johnny was important to Stanley, but he didn't know how important.

As Stanley's adviser, Johnny not only participated in Stanley's campaign throughout the whole process and gave advice to Stanley, but also controlled Stanley's source of funds, Johnny had a foundation in his hand, which was Stanley's campaign funds, and the source of funds was only clear to Johnny, without the help of this foundation, Stanley would lose at least thirty percent of his advantage in running for prime minister.

Not to mention 30%, even a half-percent advantage is enough to determine the ownership of the prime minister's position, so it is not important for Stanley not to pay attention to it, unless Stanley does not want to succeed in the election.

"It's a shame that this is happening, and it's clear that whoever has the most to gain from this is the murderer." Stanley is not talking nonsense, Stanley is trying to muddy the waters.

Johnny's death will definitely affect Stanley's campaign for prime minister, so according to the principle of "whoever gains the most, who suspects the most", Stanley's rival James Scullin is undoubtedly the most suspicious.

In the absence of evidence, Johnny's death may indeed be just an accident, but since this will affect Stanley's campaign, then Stanley will muddy the waters, and if he dies, he can't run away from his fellow Daoists, and if he wants to be affected, then let's come together.

"Calm down—" Henry reminded Stanley worriedly.

As Australia's nominal head of state, it is Henry's responsibility as governor general to ensure Australia's stability, and it is a surprise that this happened at the juncture of the election campaign, and Henry seems to smell the storm.

"I'm sorry, Henry, I can't calm down now, this must have been done by James, this, I have to pay for him!" Stanley was furious, and now he just wanted to rush to James's house with his double-barreled hunting gun.

"The more dangerous the situation, the more calm you are, anger will not help you solve the problem, but will make you make the wrong judgment." Henry tried to dissuade Stanley as much as he could.

"Okay, I'll try to be restrained, but if I find proof, I'll definitely make James, a son of a, look good." Stanley took a deep breath and gave Henry a not-so-reliable reassurance.

Henry could only do his best to know the destiny of heaven, and watched Stanley leave with a worried face.

Almost at the same time that Stanley learned of Johnny Schild's unexpected death, Billy Hughes also learned about the latest developments.

As Australia's prime minister, Billy Hughes has been really annoyed lately.

Billy Hughes was born in London, England, and grew up in Wales at the age of 62.

In 1915, at the beginning of the World War, Billy Hughes became Prime Minister of Australia.

During the World War, Australia under the leadership of Billy Hughes went all out to help the suzerain, and the level of participation was so dedicated, that Billy Hughes even sent one-twentieth of the entire Australian population to Europe to fight in the war, which was almost all adult males in Australia, and at the same time gave great help to Britain, but also won great honor for the "Anzac".

But honor is not something to eat, and after the end of the world war, the British have not even paid the pensions of Australia's disabled soldiers, which makes all Australians both aggrieved and sad.

The Australians paid a huge price for helping Britain win, 5 million Australians, 416809 were conscripted into the army in the world war, 330,000 of them were sent to Europe to fight, and the entire world war, the Australian army was killed 59,342 and wounded 152171, and the total casualties were 64.98% of the departures.

Australia's contribution to the UK is so great that it is understandable how sad Australians must be when the British refuse to even pay their pensions.

Perhaps it is precisely because of Australia's heavy casualties that the British will not pay attention to Australia, because Australia has lost almost all its vital strength, and if there is another world war, Australia will no longer be able to give Britain such strong support.

It's not fair.

Even under this premise, Billy Hughes did not ask for independent status, but only for Australians to be self-governed, which was already Billy Hughes's greatest effort within the scope of his rights.

It is precisely because of Billy Hughes's loyalty to the United Kingdom that in this year's election, although Billy Hughes proposed to continue to run, Billy Hughes had the lowest support rate among all the candidates.

In all fairness, Billy Hughes did a good job, and no matter who comes, even if Qin Zhiyuan comes in person, it may not necessarily guarantee peace and stability in Australia.

During the World War, in order to ensure security and stability, the Australian government enacted the Martial Law Act.

The Martial Law has two main elements: first, the censorship of the press and publications; The second is to take precautions against enemy nationals in Australia, mainly German nationals. At the outset of the war, London demanded that Australia concentrate enemy nationals, and in October 1914 demanded the internment of enemy nationals.

There were 36,000 German expatriates in Australia at the time of the outbreak of war, and although they faced many difficulties, the Australian government resolutely adopted this tough precautionary policy in order to prevent enemy nationals from causing trouble.

This policy was sometimes good and bad, prohibiting German expatriates from participating in the war, which also protected German expatriates in disguise, and throughout the world war, Australians fought to the death to defend Britain and Germans, and the German expatriates in the concentration camps were raised for nothing.

By the end of the World War, Australians had suffered heavy casualties on frontal battlefields, and the German expatriates in the camps had grown to 50,000 because of years of fertility spikes.

How ironic!
