Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 876 Marne River

When Rock came to Johannesburg, there were farms run by Africans around Johannesburg. During the period of the Transvaal Republic, Africans could buy land in Johannesburg.

After the Transvaal Republic became the Transvaal colony of the United Kingdom, all the rights of Africans were cancelled, not only to buy land, but also to cancel all rights including immigration, settlement, construction, business, etc., Johannesburg The slums where Africans lived in Pretoria and Pretoria were also demolished as a whole. Africans can only go to Natal to live, and they have not been recognized by the colonial government.

The federal government is now implementing a stricter management system for Africans. Africans are not allowed to own property outside of Natal. All Africans who have jobs live in dormitories provided by their employers and cannot move freely in the city. Africans who appeared on the streets were checked, and if they did not have employment certificates issued by their employers, they would be treated as homeless and beggars and sent to Katanga or Fawalt for mining.

As for the previous situation where you can settle down by building a shed in the corner of the city, it has completely disappeared in today's southern Africa.

Rock now wants to go a step further and completely solve the hidden dangers of the future of southern Africa in the next few years. Sending Africans to the northern Cape and southern Southwest Africa will not lead to a shortage of human resources in southern Africa. If industrial and mining companies need more If there is a large labor force, the current model between southern Africa and the Kingdom of Mozambique can be adopted, and this problem can be handed over to professional human resources companies to solve.

Many Africans in Nyasaland are hired from the Kingdom of Mozambique through the human resources company under the name of Christian. The average monthly salary for each adult African is 2.5 rand, which is paid to the human resources. For resource companies, the human resources company will then connect with the human resources companies in the Kingdom of Mozambique. As for how much these human resources companies will give workers, the Niasaland State Government does not care about this issue.

Although this seems to be a relatively large circle, it reduces many possible problems. The human resources company not only serves the government of Nyasaland State, but also serves industrial and mining enterprises in southern Africa. Foreigners working in southern Africa Workers generally sign a 50-month labor contract, and after the 50-month period is over, they will be sent back to their hometowns.

The reason why it is 50 months is to avoid the immigration regulations in southern Africa. Foreign workers who have worked in southern Africa for five years can apply for naturalization in southern Africa according to the regulations. 50 months is a little more than four years, and the workers are sent back to their original places After that, even if you return to work in southern Africa after a few months, you have to restart the clock.

"For the future of southern Africa, we must gradually reduce the number of Africans in southern Africa in a planned way. The best way is to establish a country dominated by Africans and move all Africans there, so that most of the problems can be solved. Don't look at it. Those Africans are very obedient now, and in a few years, those Africans who are now going to Europe to fight may not be sure." Although Rock swore when Ade asked, it is not so easy to solve this problem.

"Is it necessary to do this?" Stoudemire is still reluctant to part with cheap labor that is almost free. There are still many Africans in Rhodesia.

"It's not impossible. Most crimes are related to Africans. The northern states are better, but Cape and Natal are terrible. The courts of these two states are the busiest courts of the federal government. The case is still endless.” Henry has the most say on this issue, and Africans have indeed committed more crimes.

"I think it's okay. Africans are relatively easy to satisfy, with low cost, high efficiency, and hard work. Frankly speaking, both whites and Chinese are difficult to manage, especially Chinese. They are too smart and active in thinking. Blacks can grow old. To be honest, I have worked in winemaking workshops for a lifetime, and Chinese people generally find ways to own their own winemaking workshops after learning the technology of winemaking, but this is also a good thing, more winemaking workshops can generate more profits.” Stoudemire’s thinking is also changing now, From a businessman to a politician, trying to transform Rhodesia, Skate never thought of it that way.

"This is the problem. Everyone wants to live in a big house and drive a car. The Chinese will achieve it through their own efforts. What about the Africans?" Rock's question is very sharp. People have desires, and the problem lies in the way to satisfy their needs. .

"Do you need to ask, Africans will steal and rob—" Henry was uninterested, and threw the knife and fork on the dinner plate, jingling and rattling.

"I think we should strengthen their education and teach them to live a better life in a civilized way." Phyllis was still naive, not knowing that some people in this world are uneducable.

"It's difficult. The federal government has also implemented compulsory education in Natal, but Africans would rather let their children herd cattle than send them to school for education." Henry shook his head. The government is the worst of the ten states.

"That's because the federal government has collected too many poll taxes. If the poll tax is abolished, see if they will send the children to school." Lacey also has different opinions. Women are always sympathetic in this regard.

"Okay gentlemen, if you are full, go to the study, and don't talk about these unappetizing issues at the dinner table." Stoudemire's wife usually doesn't express her opinions at this time, and the atmosphere at the dinner table should be more warm.

A group of people dispersed immediately, the men went to the study to smoke and drink tea, the women went to the living room to chat with each other, and the children clamored to go to the horse farm to ride horses.

In the evening, Phyllis casually talked about Bella's problem: "Bella seems to be in love, and has a close relationship with Lieutenant Colonel Berkeley of the Cavalry Battalion—"

Rock drank a little wine in the afternoon, and was already in a daze, but he sobered up instantly when he heard Phyllis' words.

"It's great, our old girl can finally get married, and prepare a generous dowry for Bella." Rock couldn't help but, when he was still in Cape Town, Bella and Zach came to Rock's house Well, more than ten years have passed in a flash, and the little girl at that time has grown into an old girl, and Rock has had a lot of headaches in the past few years.

If she wanted to, Bella could actually marry herself off easily, but staying by Rock's side, Bella knew only young talents, and most people didn't like Bella.

The crux of the matter is that young talents have more and better choices, and they will not give up the entire forest just because of Bella.

Berkeley is the deputy battalion commander of the Nyasaland Cavalry Battalion. He is a little older than Bella. His wife died of illness two years ago. He has a son and a daughter. Because of work, Berkeley and Bella have more contact. It's normal for people to have feelings.

"Need you to say, Bella has been like my sister these years. If it weren't for Anna and Bella, I wouldn't be able to manage such a big family by myself. I prepared a farm for Bella in Port Edward, and a part of it. The shares of Eternal must be married to Bella." Phyllis and Bella have a very good relationship, Anna is now in her prime, and Bella is the housekeeper of the Rock family.

"Speaking of Bella, Zach should also start a family, and this is also your scope of work." Rock didn't ask how big the farm was, but Phyllis said that Bella was his younger sister, and the area must not be small.

As for Zac, although Zac has not married yet, he already has three children, and they go to school with Gavin and Alvin. This is also the model of most noble families. The children of the housekeeper grow up with the heir to the title. Most of them will become the next generation of housekeepers when they grow up.

Rock certainly wouldn't be so pedantic. After the children grow up, they still choose the life they want. The elders can make suggestions, but it's best not to interfere. The root of many family tragedies lies in the elders' desire to control.

"Don't worry about it, Zach is very satisfied with his current life." Phyllis is targeted. Adult life is her own choice. If Zac wants to get married, there are also a lot of high-quality resources for Zach to choose from.

Rock said nothing, and called Berkeley over when he arrived at the Ministry of Defense the next day.

Berkeley is only 30 years old this year, and he has already served as the deputy battalion commander of the Nyasaland Cavalry Battalion. It can be said that he has a bright future. Rock is still not sure whether Berkeley really likes Bella or has other purposes.

"It's not like, I love Bella, I love from the bottom of my heart, I want to live with Bella, give the children a complete home, let them have more love--" Berkeley is more determined than Rock imagined Well, it's understandable when you think about it. There is really no need for a promising young lieutenant colonel to rely on nepotism to climb the ranks.

To put it bluntly, Berkeley chooses to be with Bella, but he actually has to take certain risks. After marrying Bella, even if Berkeley relies on his own ability to gain a higher status, he may be criticized for relying on nepotism What's more, Berkeley is also a high-quality resource in the eyes of ordinary people. There are many people who are willing to marry their daughters to widowers like Berkeley.

"Very well, I hope you understand that the relationship between Phyllis and Bella is very good, and she treats Bella like her own sister. If you dare to treat Bella badly, don't blame me for not reminding you." Rock was very satisfied Regarding Berkeley's attitude, of course Rock will not ask Berkeley to do anything. As long as Bella has no objection, even if Berkeley raises a lot of lovers outside, Rock will pretend not to see it. This kind of thing is really rare among the British. few.

On September [-], the Ministry of Defense adjusted the ranks of a group of officers, and Berkeley was promoted to colonel.

It was also on this day that the irrevocable British and French allied forces finally fought back, and the Battle of the Marne broke out.
