Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 806 Weakness is the original sin

If you want to live a decent life, you have to play dumb when you have to.

Phyllis also knew that Philip and Owen were suspected of deliberately consuming Roque's influence, but this would not have an irreparable impact on Roque. After Philip became prime minister, Roque's power might be even greater than it is now, and his status would also be higher. It will be more stable, so there is really no need to break it so clearly.

Roark will also not break with Philip and Owen because of this matter. Some people in Congress have been proposing restrictions on Chinese immigration. It is precisely because of Philip and Owen's continuous maintenance that the federal government will continue to subsidize Chinese immigrants.

In the budget of the federal government next year, immigration costs will still reach 3000 million rand, comparable to the defense budget.

In addition to the federal government's budget, each state government will also allocate funds and subsidies. Nyasaland's budget in this regard next year is similar to the federal government's budget, so at least in the next year, southern Africa can maintain the current large-scale immigration.

This money will eventually be used to reimburse immigration expenses and help new immigrants build farms. Now the scale of Chinese immigration to southern Africa has not shrunk, and the number of white immigrants to southern Africa is also increasing. The smell of gunpowder in Europe is getting stronger and stronger. White people began to realize the threat of war. Southern Africa is actually not a popular destination for white European immigrants, but the United States is.

One thing makes people very helpless. Although the development of southern Africa is getting faster and faster and the infrastructure is constantly improving, in the hearts of white Europeans, Africa is still the ignorant black Africa, and the United States, which has basically wiped out Indians, is the First choice for white Europeans.

Most of the white people who are willing to immigrate to Southern Africa are those who have relatives and friends who have immigrated to Southern Africa. The elite talents who were hired by Roque to Southern Africa with high salaries have finally played a role. Before they came to Southern Africa, they really did not like Southern Africa. I understand, but after coming to Southern Africa, I can't help but fall in love with everything in Southern Africa, whether it is the green mountains and green waters outside the city, or the urban infrastructure that is becoming more and more perfect and even vaguely surpasses European standards. As well as the increasingly developed level of education and medical care, it is really a world of difference compared with the seemingly colorful Europe.

Most importantly, living in southern Africa does not have to consider the threat of war.

It is not to say that neighboring wars will not break out in southern Africa, but that even if a war breaks out, southern Africa has the ability to control the war outside the country, and the mainland will not be affected in any way.

Such an environment, compared with the European state of living in the shadow of war and air smog every day, is really a paradise.

Therefore, the vast majority of elite talents have now settled in southern Africa and will never return to Europe. They will warmly recommend everything in southern Africa to their relatives and friends who are still living in Europe. Many people came to southern Africa with this background.

What is gratifying is that most of the relatives and friends of elite talents are also from the elite class. University professors rarely have gardener friends. Even if they are kind to gardeners, it is because of the politeness shown by their own cultivation, not the relationship of friends .

Therefore, most of the white people immigrating to southern Africa are elites. These people have considerable social status and family wealth. The subsidies given to these people by the federal government and state governments at all levels will also be appropriately tilted. If you have money, you can reduce subsidies, and no one will make life difficult for money.

Of course, with more and more immigrants, it will inevitably bring some new problems. The biggest problem is cultural conflict.

The Nyasaland State Government has handled this aspect relatively well. Cape Town now has relatively clear Boer communities, English communities, and French or Slavic communities.

Nyasaland State is not so clear-cut. Specifically, in Little Rock, the premise of the formation of the community is the unit enterprise, which is more similar to the kind of family courtyard that Rock is familiar with, rather than based on race or language.

In this way, there will indeed be some problems in the early stage. After all, differences in language customs and living habits will definitely cause some collisions.

But over time, these problems will gradually ease.

How to say that sentence, if you are unable to change the environment, then you must work hard to adapt to the environment.

The Chinese in Nyasaland are actively learning English in order to better integrate into southern Africa, and the white people are also working hard to learn Chinese in order to better integrate into Nyasaland. This is not to please anyone, nor is it forced to accept, even if it is not You can live well in Nyasaland if you study abroad, but if you want to live well, you need more life skills. It is understandable if you don’t understand this, but you are still stubborn under the premise that governments at all levels are emphasizing it. Don't blame others when you lose opportunities.

Although he had not been away from Nyasaland for a long time, when he returned to Nyasaland, Rock had a refreshing feeling.

Sitting on the balcony of Eagle Fort, it is clear that a brand new residential area has been built on the shore of Lake Niassa not far away. With the development of Little Rock, the residents have higher and higher requirements for the living environment. I don't know who was the first to paint the exterior walls of their own houses, and then more and more residents followed suit.

The Little Rock city government does not restrict the color of the paint, so the houses of various colors are very colorful. This is how Little Rock's other name "Rainbow City" comes from.

"Goma is less than two kilometers away from the border of Tanganyika and the Kingdom of Congo, and less than [-] kilometers away from the East African protected area. It has always been a three-way area. In fact, the Germans first arrived in Goma, but at the Berlin Conference, Goma became Belgium. Therefore, the ownership of Goma has always been disputed. The condition of Goma is still very good, and there are relatively mature rubber plantations. Although it has been destroyed by the rebels, it is not difficult to restore it. "Martin Biro Ke returned to Nyasaland earlier, and Pretoria now has only a few civilian departments, headed by Deputy Minister Derek Dodd.

"——Three days ago, Lu Taitai sent officials to Goma to ask the Goma German army to withdraw from Goma, but the Goma German army refused. Our water police have controlled the entire Lake Kivu, and the pier in Goma has also been demolished. The German army occupied Goma has no effect on us." Martin did not care about the Germans in Goma, and the Rhodesian Northern Division's occupation of Bukavu was not justified.

"Then leave them alone, what about Isaiah Chamberlain?" Rock asked if there was any conflict between the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo.

"There are still some small conflicts between the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo, but the scale is not large enough to rise to the level of war. However, the Republic of Congo has recently had some friction with Portuguese West Africa. Isaiah Chamberlain wants to pay for Soyo Come down, but the Portuguese did not agree, so last week in Boma, the Republic of Congo and the Portuguese had a conflict, and a dozen people were killed on both sides, but they were all Africans, and there were no white casualties.” Martin provided an accident Happening.

Soyo is a port city in Portuguese West Africa, just at the mouth of the Congo River, about 40 kilometers away from the Republic of Congo.

There is actually a reason why the coastline of the Congo Free State is so small. At least 500 years ago in 1482, grape people arrived in Soyo to preach there.

After that, the scope of Soyo gradually expanded. In the [-]th century, it became an important stronghold of the Portuguese on the west coast of Africa, mainly exporting diamonds and slaves.

Stanley, the explorer who was privately sponsored by Leopold II, only came to the Congo Free State in 1879, so the Portuguese certainly wouldn't give the Belgians the centuries-old Soyo.

The same is true for Cabinda on the other side of the mouth of the Congo Free State. Coincidentally, the Kingdom of Congo is now having some friction with the Portuguese because of the ownership of Cabinda.

Compared with the Republic of Congo, the Kingdom of Congo is more radical. Now the Kingdom of Congo and Portugal have had many conflicts in Cabinda, and some Africans in Cabinda are responding to the Kingdom of Congo. Concerns over state rebellion.

Since the rebellion broke out in the Congo Free State, Britain, France, Germany and Portugal have been very concerned about the situation in the Congo Free State, worrying that the rebellion in the Congo Free State will affect the stability of the surrounding areas.

Fortunately, both the Republic of Congo and the Kingdom of Congo know how to measure. Even if it is a toss, it will only toss the weakest Portugal, so Britain, France and Germany will not intervene by force.

"What does Portugal say?" Roque was not surprised. There was no access to the sea. Cecil Rhodes racked his brains and failed to get an outlet. Roque did not hesitate to launch a war for the outlet. Orange lost so quickly because there was no outlet to the sea.

"The Portuguese still pay more attention to it, and have begun to increase troops to Soyo and Cabinda." Martin expressed his appreciation for Portugal's toughness.

In fact, it is not very tough. Portugal reacted quickly because it did not have much defense pressure. Looking at the map, you can see that Portugal’s land borders are surrounded by Spain, and the sea part is also free of pressure because the British blocked the English Channel. That’s why they dared to attack Portuguese West Africa. For the increase of troops, if Portugal is replaced by Belgium, the security of the homeland must also be considered first.

"Tell Isaiah Chamberlain not to worry, the port will be resolved in a few years." Rock is not in a hurry. In fact, it is not only a natural port that can build a port, but if the natural conditions are not suitable, more efforts must be made. It is not advanced enough, so it has no ability. This problem does not exist now. As long as you make up your mind, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

For the European powers, because they have too many resources, they have more choices.

For the Chinese, they must do everything possible to solve the problem at any time. This is really not a high-profile, but the wisdom of the nation that has lasted for thousands of years.
