Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1846 Challenging Work
The training of the Southern African Union troops is carried out completely in accordance with the Southern African "Army Code of Practice". This is completely different from the British and French cannon fodder troops, and it is really required according to the standards of elite soldiers.

That's right, even if the troops are composed of African Americans, they are also required to meet the standards of elite soldiers.

After all, southern Africa is a civilized country. It is different from West Africa in the past. Just look at the population ratio in the previous chapter to see how cruel the oppression of Africans in the country was.

If it is not cruel, in West Africa with a total population of more than 400 million, the population over the age of 60 is not even less than [-].

Moreover, the vast majority of these 60 are whites. Among the Africans, probably only chiefs or tribal elders can live to be [-] years old.

When An Qi reviewed the troops in Luanda, several officials from the Ministry of the Interior had just arrived in Malan, 350 kilometers east of Luanda.

Malan is the capital of Malan State and one of the larger cities in central West Africa.

It is said to be large, but it is actually not that big. In West Africa, which covers 100 million square kilometers, it has a population of 486 million, with an average of less than five people per square kilometer. The city is no big deal, and 10 people is already a megacity.

The resident population of Malan City is only a pitiful 4 people.

Hanke has long been accustomed to this situation. In southern Africa with a population of 8000 million, many small cities only have 4 to [-] people.

Of course, although the cities are about the same size, the difference in the level of urban construction is huge. No matter how small a town in southern Africa is, even if it only has a few hundred people, there must be a square paved with cement in the center of the town, and all roads in the town must be hardened. There will be train stations and even airports in cities and towns. 20 years ago, the development of southern Africa had to be carried out along rivers. Now the construction of cities and towns has long been carried out around national roads or railways.

West Africa is still at the stage of development along the river. Malan is also a city built across the river. What is more peculiar is that most of the rivers in West Africa flow northward into the Congo River.

It's not unusual. The topography of southern Africa is complex, and the rivers flow in any direction. The Orange River flows westward, the Zambezi River flows eastward, and the rivers around Cape Town flow southward.

Like other cities in West Africa, Malan also has obvious rich areas and slums that have been eliminated in southern African cities. It is divided by the river in the city center. The east bank of the river is the rich area, and the west bank is the slums. There are no bridges on the river. The difference is clear.

"I don't have money to build bridges. West Africa is not your southern Africa——" Randall, who had just been elected as the governor, hadn't gotten used to his identity, and realized his slip of the tongue as soon as he spoke, and then he laughed and made amends: "—but It will be fine in the future, and I hope the federal government can give us more funds to help Malan State to build better."

Regarding this request, Saroyan, director of the Third Department of the Ministry of the Interior, just smiled and said nothing.

It’s okay to ask for money, but first think about how much you have contributed to the federal government.

Speaking of contributions, Malan State is located in the hinterland of West Africa, and its economic pillars are timber and cement.

It's sad to say that the timber and cement in Malan State are mainly sold to southern Africa, but I don't even have cement for paving roads and timber for building houses. The slums on the other side of the river are proof.

However, it is precisely because Malan State still has some industrial foundations that there are slums in the city.

Otherwise, based on the habits of Africans, they should prefer to live carefree in tribes far away from cities.

"These Africans are lazy guys. If they don't have a whip to drive them away, they want to do anything. The most pleasant thing every day is to catch lice in the sun. Sometimes our cement factory can't recruit workers. They don't care about money. This concept is very insensitive, and there is also no concept of making money to improve life, unless you are hungry, you will find something to eat—” Randall has nothing to do with these Africans, Africa is so rich that it does not need to work As far as food and clothing are concerned, some behaviors of Africans in this environment are understandable.

"But when they see the mansions on the other side of the river and the clean and tidy environment, don't they have the slightest yearning for it?" Saroyan is 40 years old this year, and he doesn't have a deep impression of southern Africa before the establishment of the Southern African Federal Government.

"Of course they will. They also want to live in a mansion, and they also want the surrounding environment to be clean and tidy, but they will not improve the environment by themselves, nor will they create wealth with their own hands, and they will not actively clean up. Swap the inhabited area and the slums, and within a few years, the situation will remain the same as it is now, without any change.” Randall himself is the largest timber merchant and cement factory owner in Malan State, otherwise he would not have been elected as the governor of Malan State.

Saroyan and Randall are now on the balcony of Randall's mansion. It may be a psychological effect. Saroyan feels that the colors of the river on both sides of the river are different.

"All these slums should be demolished, at least the environment will be cleaner." Saroyan didn't just say that it was fine before. Now that West Africa has joined the Southern African Federation, this situation will definitely change.

"It's easy to demolish, but after demolition, where will these Africans be resettled?" Randall is not used to the way of working in southern Africa, and has long turned a blind eye to the existence of slums.

In fact, not everyone cares about this issue. For some people, they need the existence of slums to show their sense of superiority, otherwise what is the point of working hard to create wealth.

Of course, this is definitely not the case for Saroyan. The existence of slums will cause many problems. According to the requirements of the federal government, they must be cleaned up.

"Let them go to work, whether they are men or women, as long as they are able to work, they must be allowed to work." Saroyan did not compromise. With so many people staying idle all day in the slums, problems will arise sooner or later.

"There aren't that many jobs." Randall was embarrassed. West Africa is not southern Africa.

"Then create jobs!" Saroyan insisted. There will always be jobs.

Saroyan started working the next day, and went to inspect the slums on the opposite bank with Randall.

When crossing the river, I was on Randall's yacht. All the staff on the yacht were Africans, so the rich were encouraged to spend. There were hundreds of people in the Randall family serving the Randall family.

When landing, Randall handed Saroyan a mask.

Saroyan didn't refuse, but he didn't wear it either. Since it was an inspection, it was necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the slums.

The situation is really bad, the sewage is overflowing, the dust is flying everywhere, and the air outside the car window is full of dust. It is amazing that the dust content in the air is so high when the ground is full of sewage.

When Saroyan got out of the car, Randall didn't even want to get out of the car, worrying about staining his expensive handmade leather shoes.

Saroyan is not so delicate, and he still doesn't know much about West Africa, perhaps because few cars appear in the slums, and many people immediately appear around the cars to watch.

What makes Saroyan very uncomfortable is that the hygienic conditions are indeed too poor. Many people, including adults, can no longer distinguish the original color of their clothes. If you have money to buy clothes, will you die if you wash them when they are dirty?
Of course, you can’t ask so confidently. For these people living in the slums, they may only have this one piece of clothing. The clothes on many children obviously don’t fit, and I don’t know where they picked them up, or from their father and brother Where did it inherit from.

New three years, old three years, sewing and mending for another three years, southern Africa has only been rich for a few years, and many people have forgotten the taste of poverty.

It cannot be said that I have forgotten, or that it is precisely because I have tasted the taste of poverty that I have to work hard to create a happier life.

Like most slums, Saroyan walked along the streets in the middle of the slums for a long time without seeing a decent house.

These houses are all shacks made of various materials. The roofs of many houses are made of iron sheets, and there are signs and words of Adan Company on them, which are obviously the oil barrels used by Adan Company.

Many houses don't even have doors, so the courtyard walls are naturally a no-brainer.

And what Saroyan couldn't figure out was that the houses in the slums were very densely packed, almost one by one. It is said that there should be no charge for the land here, so why are they still living in such a crowded place?
This is probably also a matter of living habits.

Thinking about the living conditions of normal African tribes, they probably don't have the concept of family——

Yes, this may be the reason. In another time and space until the 21st century, many Africans still have no family concept, so there are so many Africans who grow up in single-parent families.

Speaking of single-parent families, it is not uncommon among whites and Chinese, but in terms of proportion alone, Africans must have the highest proportion.

Probably because Saroyan was not as aggressive as the West African whites, soon there were more courageous children who came to Saroyan and asked Saroyan if he needed help.

This is not being helpful, but hoping to provide services to Saroyan and then get a certain reward.

This is quite normal, but seeing that Saroyan did not refuse, more children immediately gathered around and directly asked Saroyan for it.

This is a bit too much, Randall waved his hand, and immediately a group of guards rushed over with batons, and the children immediately dispersed.

"That's it, what are you going to do?" Randall was sweating profusely, probably nervous, after all, the weather is not very hot.

Most of West Africa is a plateau terrain. Although it is relatively close to the equator, the temperature is really not high.

"No, no, no, this is not my job content. My job content is to understand the situation in West Africa, and submit it to the federal government after summarizing. How to do it depends on the decision of the Palace of Justice." Saroyan realized at this time, Southern Africa can achieve what it is today, and how many difficulties it has gone through.
