Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 543

The most feared thing in the officialdom is standing on the wrong team. It really doesn’t matter whether your personal ability is great or not. The most fatal thing is to be on the wrong team with the wrong person. If Isaiah Queller was wrong just now, let alone the future Whether the status of the Southern African Federation can gain a foothold in the future of Southern Africa is uncertain.

Of course, looking back, Isaiah Queller had no complaints about Rock.

Rock dug the pit too deep. Although Isaiah Queller didn't fall into it, thinking about the consequences of falling in, Isaiah Queller couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Congratulations Isaiah, you are now officially a member of the Southern African Liberal Party. I hope that we will cooperate sincerely in the future to bring southern Africa to a higher level." Of course, Rock was also full of joy at this time. With Tal's help, the Transvaal will surely seize the greatest say in the future Southern African Federation.

As for Isaiah Queller's emotions, that really doesn't matter. This is an investigation of Isaiah Queller, and some people don't even have the opportunity to do so.

With the addition of Ade and Philip, the atmosphere in the small living room immediately heated up.

Ad also knew that Isaiah Queller might have a grudge against Rock, so the first sentence after sitting down was to excuse Rock.

"Don't mind Isaiah, Locke recommended you to me a few days ago, I hope you can serve as the foreign minister of the Southern African Federation, please forgive my negligence, after all, I didn't know much about you before, but it doesn't matter, In the future, we will have a lot of opportunities to get to know each other slowly, at least our starting point is the same." Ade's expression was sincere, and Isaiah Queller was full of trepidation.

"My lord, this is my fault. I should have visited you in the Transvaal a long time ago, but you also know that the situation in Natal is very serious, and it has not returned to normal now." Isaiah Queller pointed out The only one was the rebellion in Natal four years ago.

So the topic naturally shifted to Africans.

Philip is the most resolute in this regard: "We used to think that the construction of Africa could not be separated from African laborers. Now it seems that we may be wrong. Johannesburg, Pretoria, Nyasaland, and even the future Bei In the Zhuanna protected area, we did not rely on Africans, and Chinese immigrants effectively made up for the shortage of labor in southern Africa, so we can use Chinese to make up for the shortage of labor.”

Philip's attitude was a bit aggressive, but it was in line with Rock's wish, so Rock also added fuel.

"The Qing Dynasty has almost unlimited labor resources. When the Chinese first came to southern Africa, many people still had doubts about the Chinese. Now everyone knows that the Chinese may be the most satisfying nation in the world. We only need to give They have a space that allows them to play reasonably, and they can give us countless miracles." Rock certainly spared no effort in this regard.

Ade didn't speak, but nodded frequently and smiled all over his face. He definitely agreed with Rock's words.

Philip's expression was a little more serious, but this was definitely not an objection. Philip's position was completely consistent with Roque's. They were both members of the Matilda family. Philip and Roque shared weal and woe.

Isaiah Queller's expression was a bit disappointed. In the four southern African colonies, the Chinese first landed in the Cape, then took root in the Transvaal, and finally developed in Nyasaland. What's up Tal.

Sometimes Isaiah Quiller can't help but imagine that if the Chinese immigrate to Natal on a large scale, will the current Natal be as prosperous as the Transvaal and Nyasaland.

Let’s not talk about Cape. Although Cape is the first stop of the Chinese in southern Africa, the number of Chinese in Cape has not continued to increase as Rock was transferred to the Transvaal. Now most of the Chinese live in Cape Around Bigwig Town, the number of people is not too large. The achievements of the Chinese in Cape Town are far inferior to those in Transvaal and Nyasaland.

"Locke, if we let go of the immigration of Chinese, will southern Africa get enough labor in a short time?" Ade still has doubts about this question.

Of course, Rock wanted to immigrate as much as possible, but unfortunately the actual conditions did not allow it: "Sorry my lord, the Qing Dynasty is now restricting immigration. I'm afraid we won't be able to get enough labor in a short time."

Rock also tried every means to immigrate. In the past, Rock immigrants were mainly concentrated in the north of the Qing Dynasty, but now the immigrants have quietly developed to the south and inland.

It's a pity that even if this is the case, the situation cannot be objective. The Qing government has noticed this situation and is restricting immigration. The development of immigration companies in the Qing country is greatly hindered. Sometimes Rock even wants to start a war and force the Qing government to open up. immigration market.

This is also a common behavior in the colonial era. If the requirements are not met, then use strong ships and guns to open up the market.

Of course, Roque is not so crazy. If Roque launches a war against the Qing Dynasty, no matter what the result is, the Chinese in Qing will suffer the most. Therefore, Roque will not use such extreme methods no matter when.

"That's really a pity—" Ade sighed deeply. From his previous resistance to Chinese immigrants to his current opening to Chinese immigrants, Ade's focus is no longer on race, but on the future of southern Africa. .

However, this does not matter too much. Although southern Africa is still a long way from the real developed countries, within Africa, the prospects for southern Africa are still very bright. In Africa, no matter whether it is a German colony or a French colony, neither It will pose a threat to southern Africa, and being far away from the center of the world also means that southern Africa will not be involved in European disputes, so the federal government can devote more energy to developing the economy.

The situation in southern Africa is actually very similar to the situation in the United States. There are few competitors in the region, rich resources in the territory, and a relatively reasonable population structure. As long as the federal government does not deliberately kill, southern Africa is indeed very promising.

The question is whether the future federal government of Southern Africa will be able to seize the opportunity in the period between World War I and World War II.

Southern Africa has a chance to become another America, if it can.

If Southern Africa goes back to another time and space, Rock will break away from the Federation of Southern Africa and become an independent country.

Better to take Rhodesia and the Transvaal together.

It is precisely because Ade saw the future of southern Africa that he returned to southern Africa.

Without the constraints of London, Adelaide is also making bold moves now, and his mental state is completely different from before.

In the past, Adelaide had to consider the whole of the Commonwealth more when dealing with problems, and sometimes even had to give up the interests of southern Africa.

Now Ader no longer has to think about the entire Commonwealth of Nations, and is only for southern Africa wholeheartedly.

"But it doesn't matter. Compared with the surrounding Southwest Africa, Tanganyika, West Africa, and the Congo Free State, our southern Africa still has a lot of advantages. As long as we work together, southern Africa will definitely become the second Europe. "Ade is full of confidence. Europe is now on the verge of war, and many people are fleeing Europe. Unfortunately, most people's first choice is not southern Africa, but the United States.

Since the Franco-Prussian War, two major blocs have gradually formed in Europe. The Allied Powers headed by the United Kingdom and the Allied Powers headed by emerging Germany are launching an arms race. If war breaks out again in Europe, the war will definitely not be limited to one or two countries. Most European countries will be involved.

Once an arms race begins, it is bound to end in war.

Many people know this, but they can't change the reality, they can only watch Europe slide into the abyss of war.

In fact, in the North Sea, there is also an arms race between Nyasaland and Tanganyika.

After Bilov's visit to Nyasaland, the tension between Nyasaland Marine Police and Tanganyika Marine Police in the North Sea eased, and the Germans finally dared to drive the Weissmann out of Usumbra.

After the North Sea of ​​the Nyasaland Marine Police entered service, Tanganyika was under great pressure. Under the premise that the Earl of Gotzen could not be repaired, Tanganyika still won some assistance from Germany and established it in Usumbra. The shipyard was opened, and a new marine police ship was planned to be built to compete with the Nyasaland marine police.

It's just that the power of the Germans in Africa is really not worth mentioning. The shipbuilding plan of the Tanganyika Marine Police is only two 300-ton marine police ships. The North Sea confrontation of the Yasaland Marine Police is even less likely to change the balance of power between Nyasaland and Tanganyika in the North Sea.

"The main problem at present is still the choice of the capital. Yesterday Earl Selborne made an opinion. In the current situation, it is best to set up three capitals with different functions. Pretoria, as the center of southern Africa, can As the administrative capital of the federal government, Cape Town has a complete judicial system and can be used as the judicial capital of the federal government. In order to take into account the demands of the Boers, the legislative capital can be placed in Bloemfontein, although this is not the best choice , but under the current circumstances, this is almost the only option—" Ade seemed to be more inclined to Earl Selborne's proposal.

This is also a matter of no choice. At present, except for Natal who is relatively weak, all parties are at a stalemate, arguing endlessly for their own interests, and no one is willing to make concessions.

If the talks continue like this, the establishment of the federal government will be in the foreseeable future.

And if the establishment of the federal government is postponed, then the time for Earl Selborne to return to the Admiralty will also be delayed, so Earl Selborne is the most free and easy, no matter whether this opinion will cause trouble for the future federal government , that has nothing to do with the Earl of Selborne.
