Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1855 Smart Boers
Dhoni is a businessman dealing in construction materials, and he often travels between Bloemfontein and Pretoria. The Pretoria Crown Stadium uses some of the materials provided by Dhoni, which makes Dhoni proud .

"There is no country with higher efficiency than southern Africa. When Pretoria built the Empire State Building, it took an average of four floors per day. The efficiency is unparalleled. It is thanks to the large-scale infrastructure in southern Africa that my business Only then can we reach all parts of southern Africa.” Doni has a lot of money and is frugal, otherwise he would not take the train.

"God, four days one floor, is it building blocks?" David Winks' surprise was just right, saying that four days one floor is really amazing.

"It's almost the same as building blocks. After building the frame structure and pouring quick-setting cement, most of the time is spent waiting for the cement to solidify, otherwise the time can be compressed to one floor in two days." Doni is still not satisfied. Technology has reached an astonishing level.

The train was speeding all the way, and when it arrived in Bloemfontein, Donny and David Winks were like old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Bloemfontein is Doni's lair. After getting off the car, Doni casually invited David Winks to his home.

This was originally just a courtesy among friends. Strictly speaking, the relationship between Donnie and David Winks was not good enough to be a guest at home, but David Winks readily agreed.

No way, the Boers are too enthusiastic.

Dhoni's home is located in a wealthy area next to King's Park in Bloemfontein. Bloemfontein is located in a dry grassland. The level of urban construction is significantly different from that of Pretoria, but the environment is not bad, which is at the average level in southern Africa. above.

Like Pretoria, known as the "Garden City", Bloemfontein has also made great efforts in greening the environment. There are many parks in the city, the air is clear, and it has superior conditions for observing astronomy. Southern African countries The observatory is on the Naval Hills on the outskirts of Bloemfontein.

As a successful businessman, Doni's home naturally has everything that one expects. He is a building material businessman, so building materials are almost luxurious. This gave David Winks a deeper understanding of the affluence of southern Africa.

"It's nothing. There are tens of thousands of businessmen like me in southern Africa. The farmers in the suburbs are the real rich. Each of them has a lot of money. It's nothing like me." Doni is not humble , Where is he now, he is not considered a wealthy family at all.

"Is the building materials business so profitable?" David Winks was very envious. Working in the embassy looked good, but in fact he didn't earn much.

Of course, the "not much" here depends on who you compare with. Compared with ordinary people, embassy staff must have a good income.

Doni has a big family. His two sons are already married. The youngest daughter is still in college. The three grandchildren are all lively and lovely. The only regret is that Mrs. Doni passed away at an early age. Doni and his wife have a very good relationship. Until now There is no continuation.

The family has a lot of money, and they are generous and fat. Doni called to invite some friends to a party and planned to hold an open-air barbecue on the lawn in the backyard.

Donnie and David Winks definitely didn't have to do the barbecue themselves. While the servants were busy preparing the barbecue, Donnie and David Winks were drinking tea and chatting on the balcony.

That's when Duny finally learned that David Winks was working at the British embassy in southern Africa.

"British Empire, heh heh—" Duny didn't seem to like the British Empire.

This is understandable. If it weren't for the British Empire, the country established by the Boers should still exist.

So under normal circumstances, the Boers hate the British as much as they hate southern Africa.

Hate and disgust are two completely different emotions.

"It's been decades, isn't it enough to make you forget the hatred you once had--" David Winks didn't have any complacency as a winner. In southern Africa, Britain is also a loser.

"Yeah, we should look forward. To be honest, at least the federal government of Southern Africa is not bad—" Doni sighed. As a Boer, Doni didn't want to reveal his scars.

Compared with the current federal government, whether it is the Transvaal Republic or the Orange Free State, there is a big gap.

It is precisely because Dhoni has experienced that period of history that Dhoni can have a correct evaluation of the current Southern African Federal Government.

Of course, there are also regrets in Doni's words. If the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State still exist, it may be another situation.

Unfortunately, there is no if in history.

"I'm really surprised that you can say that. I thought you would hate the federal government of Southern Africa. You are such a generous person." David Winks quietly carried private goods.

"Hate? No, no, no, how to put it, the Boers are just a concept, not purely composed of Dutch, there are also French and Germans, and even Malays. After the Great Migration, we left the Cape. Now Orange and Transvaal have established their own countries, and we all know what happened later, the strong prey on the weak, normal Boers don’t hate the federal government, at least the federal government did not dispose of the original The residents were massacred." Duny was very sensible and would not do stupid things.

Once the Boers also rebelled.

Then the rebellious Boers fell apart because of their own contradictions before they could be wiped out by the federal troops.

Over the years, with the passage of time, more and more documents at that time have been declassified, and people finally know what happened at that time.

It is a pity that fewer and fewer people are willing to study that period of history. Now the Boers have put down their hatred and embraced life enthusiastically.

"That's really rare. When I was in Europe, I met some Boers. They are not as magnanimous as you." David Winks did not give up. Not all Boers chose to submit, and some did not accept the southern African The Boers, ruled by the federal government, chose to leave southern Africa after the Second Boer War.

Many of them chose to return to Europe. At that time, the European environment was more tolerant of the Boers.

"Hehe, what's the point of that? Southern Africa is not something that can be easily shaken." Doni's attitude was indifferent. Back then, the Boers had no ability to resist the federal government, but now——

It can only be said that the Boers love peace.

As night fell and the lights came on, the lawn in the backyard of Doni's house was extremely lively.

It seems that Donnie and his friends like this kind of family gathering very much, and there are not so many courtesies among old friends, and they will not come empty-handed when they come to the door, bringing flowers, bottles of wine, etc., the price It's not expensive, but it's mainly a thoughtful place. Old friends also bring their families with them. Men drink and chat, women exchange shopping experiences, and children chatter and play games. Everyone has their own fun.

David Winks was the only stranger present. After learning about David Winks' work, why southern Africa broke away from the Commonwealth became a common curiosity for everyone.

"Separation from the Commonwealth is a helpless choice shared by southern Africa and the United Kingdom—" David Winks had already drank a lot of alcohol, his tongue was a little stiff, and he barely maintained his last sanity.

"—The key is the market. Whether it is the United Kingdom or southern Africa, they all need a broader overseas market, and they all need to stabilize their status in the Commonwealth. Southern Africa is demanding more and more, and the United Kingdom can no longer restrain it." Southern Africa, so southern Africa can only withdraw from the Commonwealth, which is a failure for southern Africa and the United Kingdom, but it is our helpless final choice." David Winks was slightly depressed, losing southern Africa, for Undoubtedly a huge loss for the United Kingdom.

The irreparable kind.

"Why does the United Kingdom have to restrain southern Africa? We can complement each other and face increasingly complex international competition together." Doni's eldest son De Roon works in the Bloemfontein city government. Complementary” means that the United Kingdom provides international influence, and southern Africa provides goods, and the cooperation is win-win.

This approach is certainly not what the British Empire wanted. The model that the British Empire wanted was that southern Africa provided markets and raw materials, and Britain provided protection for southern Africa, not the other way around.

This is the core of all contradictions.

"Hehe, what you said sounds good, but it is actually unrealistic. In fact, the most direct competition the United Kingdom faces comes from Southern Africa. If Southern Africa is not expelled from the Commonwealth, the United Kingdom will not even have the Commonwealth market. Can’t keep it, in this case, what choice will Southern Africa make if it’s replaced by Southern Africa?” David Winks had already forgotten his mission.

Southern Africa is similar to the United Kingdom. If it is replaced by a country in the Southern African Union, which threatens Southern Africa's status in the Union, what will Southern Africa do?
I am afraid that if it is more intense, the federal government of Southern Africa will directly send troops to destroy the opponent.

If it cannot be destroyed, it can only be like the United Kingdom, expelling the other party from the Southern African Union.

"But in southern Africa, it is impossible for such a situation to arise—" De Roon laughed. Of course, southern Africa also has competition. For example, the Sultanate of Najd has the potential to challenge southern Africa.

The oil fields of the Najd Sultanate have begun to be mined. There was a time when the Najd Sultanate was so ambitious that even aircraft carriers wanted to buy them.

It's a pity that Southern Africa is not the British Empire. If Nejd Sultanate only relied on the dividends from the oil fields, it would be overthinking to challenge the status of Southern Africa. It doesn't even need the federal government of Southern Africa to take action. The Zhi Sultanate immediately bought a private plane dedicated to the royal family honestly with the money it was going to buy an aircraft carrier.

That's right, isn't it good to eat, drink and have fun when you have money? The struggle for hegemony among great powers is something that people like Rock consider.
