Chapter 395

In Roque's eyes, regardless of whether it is white or African, it is a burden for the Chinese. The white is better. Nyasaland now needs the knowledge system of the white. There are still about a few thousand Africans in Port Edward. After they have completed the construction of Port Edward and the railway, they are building the road inside Port Edward. When all the roads are completed, Rock will "send all the Africans out of the country" .

In the evening, Rock held a dinner in Eagle Fort, entertaining officials above all levels of Stoudemire and Nyasaland.

Eagle Fort has now completed all the construction. Apart from the building, the greening work has also been completed. There is a huge lawn in front of the main building, and the banquet will be held on the lawn.

Families can be brought to the banquet. As the hostess, Phyllis appeared in front of Nyasaland officials for the first time.

This is trivial to Phyllis, who has been trained in etiquette since she was a child. Treating people is only the most basic aspect, and the wife's diplomacy is also very important.

Rock ignored Phyllis, and talked with the officials together with Stoudemire.

Anton and Martin also attended the dinner. In recent months, the Rhodesian Northern Division has been in the limelight. More than a dozen officers were knighted after quelling the Natal rebellion, and Anton and Martin were among them. At this banquet, Anton and Martin also attracted much attention.

"We are demarcating the border with the Belgians. The Belgians asked us to withdraw from the East Lake. According to international practice, half of the East Lake will be handed over to the Belgians. It's a good idea! Now the entire East Lake is under the actual control of our Northern Rhodesian Division Belgians don’t even think about it.” Martin was full of arrogance, and no one would want Martin to spit out the meat in his mouth.

After Leopold II handed over the Congo Free State to the Belgian government, the Belgian government finally began to exercise its power to determine the scope of the Belgian Congo.

According to the agreement between Nyasaland and the Congo Free State, East Lake (known as Lake Mweru in the Belgian Congo) is the dividing line between Nyasaland and the Belgian Congo. According to international practice, East Lake should be half of one family.

However, this international practice is not always effective. The so-called "international practice" is also determined by strength. Now that the East Lake is all under the actual control of Nyasaland, it may be difficult for the Belgian Congo to take the half that originally belonged to it. .

"Northern Rhodesian Division is absolutely capable of guaranteeing the interests of Nyasaland. Whether it is the Belgian Congo or Tanganyika, as long as they dare to violate the interests of Nyasaland, our Northern Rhodesian Division will resolutely fight back. "Anton is also very tough, and Rock's subordinates are also a group of militants now.

The situation in Nyasaland actually needs more time to develop the economy. This does not conflict with the war. Nyasaland under the leadership of Roque is full of aggressiveness, which has aroused great vigilance from neighboring countries. The British government has paid more attention to this Remind Roque again to pay attention to maintaining relations with neighboring countries.

This kind of reminder is basically useless, and the British government doesn't really want to restrict Rock. Now the British government doesn't even bother to manage the four colonies in southern Africa, let alone Nyasaland.

So Frank's attitude was very ambiguous: "My lord, I think there must be some misunderstanding. It won't be long before everything becomes clear. The so-called 'dark forces' mentioned in the newspapers do not exist in southern Africa. "

Frank was still referring to Rock's job adjustment.

It doesn't matter to Roque, can he limit Roque's influence by directly giving orders to the Johannesburg city government by bypassing the Governor's Palace?

Think more.

"It's okay, I just need time to take a break. From the outbreak of the Boer War to the present, I haven't had a good rest. Speaking of it, I would like to thank some people in the country. If it weren't for them, I would forget that I am Niah many times. Baron Saran." Roque is calm, and when the general election starts in the Transvaal, Roque's importance will naturally be highlighted. Don't worry now, Roque will leave for Port Edward tomorrow.

Speaking of which, since the Zambezi River Basin was leased to the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company, Rock has not been there yet. The importance of Port Edward to Nyasaland does not need to be emphasized. What Cecil Rhodes never forgets is Find an outlet for Rhodesia.

This ideal was not realized during the period of Cecil Rhodes, so Cecil Rhodes gave Nyasaland to Rock, hoping that Rock could fulfill this ideal.

Luckily, Roque did not disgrace his fate. Stoudemire now spends more than half of his time in Bella. The manpower used to build Bella has exceeded [-]. Compared with Stoudemire, Roque is indeed not very competent.

"The development of Nyasaland is really amazing. The territory of the British Empire is spread all over the world. There has never been a region that has developed as fast as Nyasaland. The officials and gentlemen of the Ministry of Colonial Affairs really should come to Nyasaland Look, compared with officials in Nyasaland, officials in other regions should be tried." Frank boasted in front of Rock, and he now spends more than half of his time in Little Rock, the base of Lake Nyasa. They rarely go.

The base of the War Office is basically idle now.

When the War Office established a base in Nyasaland, the ultimate goal was to attack Portuguese East Africa and Tanganyika. As a result, before the War Office had time to participate, the Portuguese retreated steadily in front of the Yao people, and were finally forced to sign a The alliance under the city.

For this result, many people did not expect that Frank was in Nyasaland during that time, and he still does not understand why the Portuguese lost so quickly and so thoroughly.

Compared with Portuguese East Africa, Tanganyika is a tough nut to crack. Rock and Frank are actually preparing to replicate what happened in Portuguese East Africa in Tanganyika.

The Germans are also prepared for a long time now. They strictly guard the border between Tanganyika and Portuguese East Africa, and prohibit the Yao people from crossing the border and contacting the Africans in Tanganyika.

This plan is a bit difficult to implement. After all, the Germans are not capable of building a border wall on the border between Tanganyika and Portuguese East Africa. In Tanganyika, the Germans have only more than 1000 troops. It depends on these 1000 people Tanganyika, which manages an area of ​​80 square kilometers, is difficult to imagine.

"I don't want them to come here. It's fine now. The men in London can sit back and relax in the office. Nyasaland is developing steadily. In a few years, everything in Nyasaland will surprise you even more." Rock didn't want to provoke Trouble, the Minister of Colonial Affairs is still Neville's father, a member of his own family, and he can speak slowly if he has something to say.

This is the benefit of the relationship network. When Roque offered to give Neville benefits, Stoudemire didn't take it seriously. Only Roque knew where Neville, who was still in business, would go in the political arena in the future.

If Stoudemire knows, I am afraid that Stoudemire is more active than Rock, this is the advantage of the traverser.

Goldfinger?

It doesn't need to be good or bad at all, this is the biggest cheat.

Knowing the development direction of the times and knowing which big shots will be on stage in the future, this is much better than Goldfinger. It is equivalent to getting the customs clearance cheats at the beginning of the game. Hang yourself.

"Next year there will be the World Expo and the Olympic Games in the United States. How about it? My lord, do you want Nyasaland to participate?" Frank had many sources of information, and Rock didn't even know that next year's World Expo and the Olympic Games would be held in the United States.

It's useless to know that Roque doesn't want to go to the United States. It has nothing to do with whether Roque is Chinese. Although the "Chinese Exclusion Act" in the United States is still in effect, Roque is a British nobleman with real power. If Roque is willing When going to the United States, American officials still have to kneel and lick.

Sounds a little exaggerated, doesn't it?

In fact, no, until before the Cold War, even if the American economy surpassed the British early, the British were still very confident in front of the Americans. This advantage is similar to "your father is still your father". The United States is viewed by the British Just a bunch of rude nouveau riche.

Fortunately, it is finally not possible to directly say that Americans are descendants of criminals!

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.

"No, I'm not interested. If the World Expo and the Olympic Games were held in Europe, then I might still be a little interested. Let's forget about the United States. I'm seasick." Rock found the reason very well, and there are no airplanes in this era. It's not a good feeling to travel across the ocean on a ship.

What's more, the current World Expo and the Olympic Games are protracted. The future Olympic Games will end in more than ten days, and the current Olympic Games will last for several months and half a year.

"Hahahaha, that's right, my lord, Americans are rude guys, they only know how to make money, they can't do anything positive for the whole world, let me say, all of us should boycott the World's Fair and the Olympic Games in the United States Convocation." Frank is a standard Englishman, if he can't eat grapes, he will say that the grapes are sour.

Frank is not the only one who has this idea. Originally, the World’s Fair was supposed to be held this year, but in order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of St. Louis, the U.S. government deliberately postponed the World’s Fair to next year, and held it together with the Olympic Games to add luster to the celebration .

This added more commercial elements to the Olympic Games. Coubertin, the founder of the Olympic Games, did not like it, so Coubertin did not go to the United States to participate in the Olympic Games, and American President Roosevelt did not participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. This is in the history of the Olympic Games. is very rare.

Speaking of next year's Olympic Games, there are a total of 625 participating athletes, of which the United States accounted for 533, and the total number of foreign athletes is less than 100, so many people call this Olympic Games the American Games.

It seems that southern Africa also sent people to participate, but only one athlete, which is more like making up the number.
