Chapter 553 Out of Control

Once a war broke out between Nyasaland and the federal government of southern Africa, according to the traditional habits at this time, the Germans in southern Africa would be monitored, their movements restricted, and they would even be thrown into concentration camps for centralized management.

Rock will definitely not do this, the key lies in cultural self-confidence.

Now Germany has only just been unified for a few decades. It is not necessary to say how strong the national pride of Germans is. Before Bilov visited Nyasaland, thousands of Germans in Nyasaland really betrayed Nigeria. Luke Obadiah is the only one of Asalan, and Luke Obadiah's end is extremely miserable, which will definitely form a strong deterrent to some half-hearted Germans.

After Luke Obadiah betrayed Nyasaland, Roque initiated many patriotic education in Nyasaland, and Anton also instructed German groups in Nyasaland to "spontaneously" organize serious reflections, If there is something, it will be changed, if not, it will be encouraged, and similar incidents are strictly prohibited from happening again.

Some people also suggested to Roque before that to investigate the Germans in Nyasaland, at least remove the Germans from important positions.

However, Roque did not adopt it. Not only did he not impose restrictions on the Germans in Nyasaland, but he took the initiative to invite the Germans in Nyasaland to hold a banquet, have dinner with the Germans, and took the initiative to visit some German homes. .

These actions effectively appease the emotions of the Germans in Nyasaland. The tolerance and openness shown by Roque are heartbreaking. Now there is an organization called "Nyasaland" in Nyasaland, mainly composed of Composed of Germans, the purpose of this organization is to completely cut off the relationship with the suzerain country, and to be a Nyasalandian wholeheartedly.

After the outbreak of the Fort Honor Rebellion, newspapers and magazines in Nyasaland also began to discuss the humanitarian disaster in Tanganyika. Many Germans wrote to the editorial office of the newspaper, expressing harsh words and some extreme The Germans even asked to go to Tanganyika to join the rebels and to personally overthrow the German colonial rule in Tanganyika.

This is also a common practice nowadays. During the Boer War, there were a large number of volunteers from Europe in the Boer coalition army.

In fact, the autonomy of southern Africa will inevitably have some negative impacts on Nyasaland.

Although the former Nyasaland was Rock's private territory, Nyasaland is still a British territory in name, so although the main population of Nyasaland is Chinese, many Europeans are still willing to work in Nyasaland. Even settled in Nyasaland.

Now that Nyasaland has been incorporated into the autonomy of southern Africa, some Europeans, including the British, will inevitably have doubts about the future of Nyasaland, so starting from September, some Europeans have left Nyasaland Returning to Europe, the wave of leaving Nyasaland reached its peak in November, with nearly 400 people leaving Nyasaland in the first week of November.

What makes Rock quite distressed is that most of these Europeans who left Nyasaland are skilled, knowledgeable, and relatively important in their jobs. Will choose to leave Nyasaland.

Nyasaland has made the greatest efforts to retain these people as much as possible, and if they can't keep them, they can get together and break up, so as to pave the way for the second cooperation in the future.

War will break out in Europe soon, and all countries will inevitably be affected by that time. At that time, these people will find that Southern Africa, which is far away from the center of the world, has not been affected much, so they still have a good chance by then. Return to Nyasaland.

And because they have lived in Nyasaland, they may bring more people at that time. Rock is still very confident in Nyasaland, regardless of Nyasaland and Tanganyika. In terms of friction, Nyasaland has surpassed most cities in Europe in terms of livability.

It can be said that when staying in Nyasaland, sometimes the advantages of Nyasaland are not obvious. When these people return to Europe and return to the previous environment, they will find the advantages of Nyasaland. Will vote with their feet and make the right choice.

"The Kingdom of Mozambique has agreed to transfer all the rights in the Zambezi River Basin, including Port Edward, to Nyasaland. I will go to Port Edward to sign with Zha Zha tomorrow, but the cost is a bit high. We have to pay 100 million in one go. If it weren't for the Rand Bank, we really wouldn't be able to get this money." Anton came to see Roque to say goodbye. The Southern African Federation had just been established, and Nyasaland ushered in its first expansion.

Before, the Zambezi River Basin was land leased by Nyasaland from the Kingdom of Mozambique, and now the Zambezi River finally belongs to Nyasaland in a legitimate way.

In fact, Nyasaland can get the Zambezi River Basin without spending any money, but Roque is still willing to give the Kingdom of Mozambique a sum of money in order to reduce future disputes, so that no matter how the Kingdom of Mozambique evolves in the future, the successor government can only Acknowledge the current agreement, otherwise don't look at the relationship between the Kingdom of Mozambique and Nyasaland is very good, but there will inevitably be disputes in the future.

Such examples are too numerous to list, such as Walvis Bay, such as Lake Niassa, and such as the North Sea. The future of Africa will be full of disputes, because the current property rights are not clear.

Fortunately, Nyasaland does not need to pay cash, but instead uses materials, so that Nyasaland can keep all the money in Nyasaland, which can not only stimulate the economic development of Nyasaland, but also Great cost savings.

The price is definitely negotiable if you use goods to offset the account. The cost of a crocodile leather handbag with a market price of [-] pounds is only about [-] pounds, and the price sold to the Kingdom of Mozambique will double. It doesn't cost much.

Moreover, most of the products required by the slag are still luxury goods such as jewelry, and there is more room for maneuvering.

"It's right if you don't have money—" Rock didn't explain.

Anton immediately giggled like a fool.

Nyasaland joined the Federal Government of Southern Africa and will also be incorporated into the tax system of the federal government. Therefore, the current income of the Nyasaland government is negative. On the surface, it needs to borrow money from the Rand Bank to maintain it. In this way, the federal government I wanted to ask Nyasaland for money, but Nyasaland didn't have it either.

In fact, Roque really didn't do anything wrong. Many properties in Nyasaland are Roque's private property, and they don't need to pay taxes at all. As the Baron of Nyasaland, Roque agrees that Nyasaland does not Of course, there are conditions for joining the federal government of Southern Africa. The federal government did not agree with Little Rock to become the legislative capital of the federal government. In other respects, Roque’s requirements must be fully met. Taxation is a special case given to Nyasaland by the federal government. Upper Nyasaland is not required to pay taxes to the federal government.

Not only that, Nyasaland was merged into the federal government, and the federal government had to bear the salaries of all officials in Nyasaland, including Anton, so in this way, the burden on the Nyasaland government was reduced in disguise.

The burden is indeed heavy. Rock has always attached great importance to infrastructure construction. Nyasaland's annual investment in basic transportation, urban construction, education, medical care, food hygiene, etc. is astronomical. The four colonies of Cape combined, The investment in these areas is estimated to be lower than that of Nyasaland, which is why Nyasaland can develop rapidly in such a short period of time.

"What does Cecil say, do you still not agree to give the money?" Rock not only has a good calculation, but also cares about the operations of his allies.

Anton made a helpless expression, it was obvious that Stoudemire still didn't want to give the money.

Rock knows that if the problem is not completely resolved now, disputes will arise in the future.

Stoudemire's understanding is not so profound. Like Nyasaland, the land that Rhodesia obtained from the Kingdom of Mozambique was also leased before. Now that Rhodesia is also incorporated into the federal government of Southern Africa, Stoudemire takes it for granted that this Even if the money is to be paid, it will be paid by the federal government, and Rhodesia should not be asked to pay.

However, the newly established federal government has so many plans that it simply cannot afford to spend so much money at once, so this issue is still in a stalemate.

In fact, not only Stoudemire, but also many officials in Nyasaland, do not think it is necessary to give money again.

At this time, the colonial thinking is so cruel. The white people are right in whatever they do in Africa. It is already a great gift to let the scumbags establish the Kingdom of Mozambique and give Africans a bite to eat. Occupy some land and build a few farms. Want to give money?

The white people have almost occupied the whole of Africa. Except for some gadgets such as glass balls and small mirrors that may have been paid at the beginning, I have never seen the white people in any country take the initiative to pay the Africans.

Therefore, some of Rock's behaviors are simply prodigals in the eyes of white people.

Roque will definitely not explain, so Stoudemire is unwilling to give money, and Roque does not persuade him. Anyway, Rhodesia and the Kingdom of Mozambique are still separated by Nyasaland. Rhodesia is adequately protected.

Drought never forgets the well digger, and Rock will never forget how Nyasaland came to be.

If Cecil Rhodes hadn't sold Nyasaland to Roque, then maybe the British government would have taken Roque's fief to the Bechuanaland protectorate, and Roque would have cried without tears.

In mid-November, the Honor Hold rebels ambushed the Tanganyika colonial army again. This time, the Honor Hold rebels had equally brilliant results. They had wiped out a regiment of the Tanganyika colonial army, and at the same time wiped out a regiment completely composed of A company of German soldiers.

The ambush this time also completely exposed the strength of the Honor Hold rebels. Previously, Feng Trota estimated that the total number of Honor Hold rebels was about 3000.

After the ambush this time, Feng Trotta was surprised to find that the total number of rebels in Honor Hold had exceeded [-].

The situation was finally out of Tanganyika's official control, and the total number of German colonial troops in Tanganyika was only about [-].
