Chapter 846 High Quality

When the Walvis Bay Railway came to a standstill, the construction of Walvis Bay was in full swing.

One of the most important reasons for Rock's push for the Walvis Bay Railway is that it is convenient to transport materials to Europe through Walvis Bay during the World War, which can save more time. Products produced in southern Africa do not need to be transited through Cape Town, and can Directly to Europe via Walvis Bay.

At the same time that the construction of the Walvis Bay Railway started, construction of several local factories in Walvis Bay started at the same time, including a food processing factory affiliated to a South African company, an assembly workshop affiliated to the Nyasaland Military Industry Group, and a garment factory affiliated to the Johannesburg Textile Company. .

The area of ​​Walvis Bay is not large, about [-] square kilometers, with a population of less than [-]. Before there was no railway to connect Bechuanaland, the only role of Britain occupying Walvis Bay was to disgust the Germans.

Walvis Bay is a rare natural port in Southwest Africa, just like Soyo and Cabinda occupied by the Portuguese. Without the port, Southwest Africa cannot play its full role, and Britain can get stuck in Germany's throat.

Although the railway has not yet been completed, the railway station of Walvis Bay Harbor has been completed. According to the habits of southern Africa, the future Walvis Bay will radiate around the railway station, so all the railways around the railway station must use underground passages. Although this increases the difficulty of the project, it is more conducive to the future construction of the city.

"The land near the port will be very expensive in the future. The dormitories for these workers will continue to live in the port workers in the future. The current urban area will be completely demolished and rebuilt. This will be the commercial area of ​​Walvis Bay in the future. The residential area is far away from the port and commercial areas. Reserve the land for urban supporting facilities and build a complete underground pipe network system. Can you complete this amount of work with your ability?" Howard Humphrey, the senior manager of the South African company, was arrogant, in Whale Bay, South African company As strong as South Africa, South Africa's enterprises are dominated by South African companies.

"We welcome your construction of Walvis Bay, but it cannot affect the interests of the people of Walvis Bay. It is up to you if you are willing to tear down the entire city and rebuild it, but you cannot force the people of Walvis Bay to leave their homes. They have lived for generations. Here, you have the right to live here.” Bill Wycliffe, the mayor of Walvis Bay, argued that his mayor was not appointed by Pretoria, but elected by the people of Walvis Bay.

According to the plan of the South African company, the current Walvis Bay needs to be completely remodeled to adapt to the future role of Walvis Bay. This will definitely affect the lives of these Walvis Bay people. The previous Walvis Bay did not have any planning, and the houses were all built around the port. The building is similar to an ordinary fishing village. Bill Wycliffe’s home is located in the center of the only road in Walvis Bay, less than 1000 meters from the port. In the planning of the South African company, the location of Bill Wycliffe’s home is In the future, a port office building will be built.

"For generations? Are you kidding me? Walvis Bay became a British colony in 1878. Before that, Walvis Bay didn't belong to anyone. Germany only recognized British ownership of Walvis Bay 20 years ago. Now Walvis Bay belongs to southern Africa. In part, I am not discussing with you, but ordering you to accept the arrangement of the federal government. By the way, I inform you that you can continue to serve as the mayor of Walvis Bay, but the mayor of Walvis Bay is Wang, who is from Nyasaland University Talented students are more qualified to become the 'king' of Walvis Bay." Humphrey laughed, Wycliffe's words can fool other people, but it is a joke to fool Humphrey and the real southern Africans.

When the Federal Government of Southern Africa was established, Walvis Bay was also incorporated into Southern Africa as part of the Cape Colony. In the past, the status of Walvis Bay was not important, and Southern Africa did not care about the value of the enclave of Walvis Bay. The situation is different now. After the railway is completed , Walvis Bay will become the most important port in southern Africa.

In terms of importance, Walvis Bay after the completion of the railway is more important than Cape Town, and similar to Port Edward.

The "Wang" in Humphrey's mouth is a Chinese who graduated from Nyasaland University the year before last. After graduating from Nyasaland University, Wang worked well in Johannesburg. To be eligible to come to Walvis Bay to serve as the mayor of Walvis Bay.

"Asshole, the future of Walvis Bay is determined by us Walvis Bay people, not you outsiders." Wycliffe was terrified, and he didn't expect that Walvis Bay would be directly seized power just after a little improvement.

"Accept our arrangement honestly, and you will be happier than you are now. If you want to violently resist, then you have to think carefully." One hundred households, with a total population of less than five hundred, it would not cost much to resettle these people.

Humphrey didn't come to Wycliffe alone, he also brought mercenaries from the Umbrella Company with him. Now there are mercenaries with police dogs on the grass in front of Wycliffe's house. Humphrey and Wang's Standing behind him was a tall and strong Slavic mercenary. He was over 1.9 meters tall and his arms were thicker than Wycliffe's thighs. When Humphrey was negotiating with Wycliffe, this Slavic had been using Cruel and icy eyes looked Wycliffe up and down.

This made Wycliffe feel nervous, although the shotgun on the wall was only one meter away from Wycliffe, almost within reach, but Wycliffe didn't have the slightest sense of security, even though it was at Wycliffe's home.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wilde. I just received the appointment of the Prime Minister half a month ago. Listen to my Wycliffe. We have no ill intentions towards you. We just want to build a better Walvis Bay. I hope you can take the initiative to move From your current home, I will build you a new house and give you some cash compensation. If you want, you can also use land as compensation. Of course, it will not be the land near Whale Bay. If you want to continue fishing , I can also change to a new fishing boat, the one that uses an internal combustion engine, which is more efficient and faster--" Wilde and Humphrey sing a bad face and a bad face, the transformation of Walvis Bay is imperative, Wei Cliff has no ability to stop.

"I don't want a farm, and I don't want a fishing boat. I just want to live in my own home, and I don't want to go there." Wycliffe was not very happy, but felt a great humiliation. Although what Wilde said was nice, but This was a serious offense to Wycliffe.

"Think about Bill carefully. I'll come back tomorrow and hope to hear good news from you." Wilde didn't overdo it. A brand new town is about to be completed on the shore about ten kilometers away from Walvis Bay. Wilde will organize the residents of Walvis Bay To visit, I believe most people will agree to relocate.

At that time, even if someone is unwilling to relocate, it will be easier to solve it.

When the Slav left Wycliffe's house, he slit Wycliffe's throat in a sinister gesture, and Wycliffe felt chills all over his body.

Leaving Wycliffe's house, walking on the potholes and muddy roads, Humphrey was in high spirits: "We need to speed up, the machine has been loaded from Cape Town, and it will soon arrive at Walvis Bay , we need to complete these tasks before the machine arrives in Walvis Bay."

"The development of Walvis Bay has started at least last year. Why hasn't the transformation of the city been completed for so long?" Wilde was very dissatisfied with Wycliffe. Work efficiency, such officials are gradually being eliminated.

"This is not the Transvaal. There were insufficient funds and manpower before. The building materials needed to renovate the city had to be shipped from Cape Town. Before the railway was repaired, the entire city was being rebuilt, so it was normal that the progress was slow. Humphrey complained that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Although the United Kingdom had not issued a mobilization order, southern Africa had actually begun to mobilize, and all aspects of work were suddenly accelerated on the original basis.

Over the past year or so, it has actually achieved remarkable results. The port of Walvis Bay has basically been expanded from its original original state to now. The port can dock 6000-ton giant ships to meet future needs. A hill not far from the port has been bulldozed. , a dormitory building that can accommodate more than [-] workers has been built, and the garrison camp has also been completed. In the future, Walvis Bay will have at least one regiment of garrisons, plus the completed railway station. There are so many in more than a year The results have already improved rapidly for the conditions of Walvis Bay.

"The relocation of the residential area must be completed before Christmas, and the reconstruction of the entire port area must be completed within next year. Our task is very heavy." Wilde is not afraid of hard work. After the entire urban transformation is completed, Wilde's name will always be associated with Walvis Bay. This city will be linked together, which will be Wilde's permanent achievements.

Now Southern Africa is vigorously promoting the civil service system. A large number of conservative officials in the colonial period have retreated to the second line, and young people are gradually beginning to take leadership positions. As far as Wilde knows, in the next few years, Southern Africa needs more, younger, and more powerful people. Capable officer, the future looks bright if Wilde does well as mayor of Walvis Bay.

The mayor is definitely not the end of Wilde's career. Wilde is not yet 30 years old, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

"What if someone is unwilling to move?" Humphrey wanted to determine Wilde's bottom line.

"No, I believe in the quality of the people of Walvis Bay. They will definitely approve of the transformation of our city, so no one will be unwilling." Wilde is indeed firm.

Humphrey stopped talking nonsense, gave Wilde a thumbs up, and then led a group of mercenaries away.

"Mr. Mayor, but the fact is that some people do not want to—" Wilde's secretary has just graduated from Nyasaland University this year, and has not yet grasped what Wilde said just now.

In other words, I still don't understand the cruelty of this world.

"I won't go to Wycliffe tomorrow. I will leave this problem to you." Wilde has high demands on his secretary. These young people who have just walked out of school will not understand the difference between school and society until they are severely beaten by the society. .
