Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 952 Slave Trader

There is a saying in the public opinion of the Allied Powers now that the world war broke out because some people's ambitions could not be satisfied, so they coerced the entire country to provoke the world war.

Some people are indeed ambitious, but the people may not all be coerced. Just like in Cyprus, big companies benefit, and soldiers also get benefits. Although the benefits obtained by the soldiers are not equal to the benefits obtained by large companies, but That's because large companies have higher investment costs, so they should get more benefits, and there is no difference in essence.

So under the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

The original sentence of this sentence is: When there is an avalanche, no snowflake feels responsible.

Reflected in reality, in Cyprus, the Expeditionary Force Command has vested interests from top to bottom, and no one can stay out of it.

Now Cyprus also has the first batch of permanent residents after the outbreak of the World War. These residents are the family members of the staff of the Expeditionary Force Command.

With the increasing number of family members accompanying the army, Rock simply set up a new department for management in the logistics department of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, headed by Lieutenant Colonel Statham from the British mainland.

Lieutenant Colonel Statham’s daily work begins with receiving new immigrants. According to the regulations of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force Command, officers above the colonel level are eligible to bring their families during the war. Therefore, more and more family members of officers came to Cyprus during this period. How to arrange them well is an important part of Lieutenant Colonel Statham's work.

"More than 100 family members will arrive in Niconia at noon, and we are busy again—" Lieutenant Colonel Statham's adjutant is Captain Ross, who is also from the British mainland. He likes East India very much. Coffee, as long as you are in the office every day, the coffee cup is always at hand.

Cyprus is now far more abundant than London and Paris.

Before the outbreak of the World War, southern Africa was still a wild place far away from the ends of the earth for most ordinary Europeans. European news about Africa was always associated with ignorance, backwardness, brutality, and ignorance. Many people did not even know about southern Africa. Not interested.

After the outbreak of the World War, people suddenly discovered a southern Africa that was completely different from what they had imagined. This southern Africa is rich in beautiful and rich products, with strong industrial strength, brave soldiers, serious and responsible doctors and nurses, and generous large enterprises. With conscientious officials, this is in stark contrast to Europe, which has already become a mess.

Specifically for the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, the weapons, ammunition and daily necessities used by the officers and soldiers all came from southern Africa. Even the coffee produced in East India was processed in southern Africa before being sent to Cyprus.

Southern Africa provides Cyprus with many kinds of coffee, some with milk, some without milk, and some with sugar, you can drink it directly, some people like the original flavor, and some people like the process of grinding coffee beans, Of all the coffee factories in the world, only southern Africa can meet so many different needs.

"There are only [-] houses left for school officers, and we need to build more houses." The officer in charge of allocating houses is also Major Price from the British mainland. He is relatively old and has already retired. After the outbreak, he returned to the army again.

"Didn't the family members of several military officers move to farms in the suburbs yesterday? Can their houses be vacated?" Captain Ross was very young and had just graduated from the military academy, otherwise he wouldn't be so ignorant.

Cyprus has more than 200 million acres of arable land. This land is not worth mentioning in southern Africa where there are few people and a lot of land. However, the officers do not live on the output of the farm. The farm is just a way of life for them Therefore, after many military officers’ families came to Cyprus, they did not want to live in the gradually formed cities, but lived on farms in the countryside.

"What are you thinking about? The house has already been allocated, and there is no possibility of taking it back." Major Price looked through the information in his hand, and the form was densely packed with names.

"Are the farms going to be developed now? They're not worried—" Lieutenant Colonel Statham is eating breakfast, two eggs and a glass of whiskey, which is unhealthy but refreshing.

"What are you worried about?" Captain Ross was very interested in everything.

"Cyprus is not yet a British territory—" Major Price explained, but his expression was not too worried: "—but don't worry, Lord Nyasaland will guarantee the safety of their property."

Roque had absolute prestige in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. Officers from Britain and France also admired Roque. Needless to say, the officers of other colonial servants, Roque had more prestige in their hearts than George V. Gao, even the most naive Italian kingdom officer did not discount Rock's orders at all.

Rock's prestige is so high, which has a lot to do with Rock's knowledge and responsibility.

Such as the troops of the Kingdom of Italy.

Referring to the performance of the Kingdom of Italy's troops in the Battle of Isonzo, if someone else served as the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, the Kingdom of Italy's troops are estimated to have been beaten into limbo in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force.

But in Roque, although the troops of the Kingdom of Italy did not perform well on the battlefield, they are still qualified as garrison troops. After the Garibaldi Peninsula and Constantinople were gradually handed over to the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy troops were stationed It is moving to the Asia Minor peninsula, gradually taking over the defense area of ​​the main force.

"Several military officers complained to me that they also wanted to buy farms in Cyprus, but the farms in good locations have been sold out, leaving only some farms in remote mountainous areas in the south that have not been sold. Judging by the situation, it won't take long. , the farms in the southern mountainous area will also be robbed.” Captain Ross is more aware of the situation, this kind of thing is quick and slow, and when everyone realizes that the value of land in Cyprus is greatly increasing, there is no chance to enter.

"Why not? I'm old, otherwise I would also like to immigrate to Cyprus." Major Price was quite regretful, because white people also have a complex of returning to their roots.

"Why?" Captain Ross didn't know that things were hard.

"Because of the prospect of Cyprus!" Major Price put down the documents in his hand, took out the glasses cloth from the glasses case, took off the glasses and wiped them carefully: "—look at the hospitals here, and these wide roads, roadside Parks, residential areas, schools, libraries, it’s winter now, there’s no smog here, the air is fresh, the climate is warm, where else is a better retirement sanctuary than here—”

Major Price was talking about the Cyprus of today, not the Cyprus of the past.

Of all the countries in the world, southern Africa may be the best at utilizing human resources. Britain is already a leader in this regard, but there is still a gap compared with southern Africa.

And the gap is still huge.

When World War broke out, the British put the Ottomans on the island of Cyprus in concentration camps, seemingly unaware that those Ottomans could be used as well.

It is an undeniable fact that in 1914, the vast majority of countries in the world have not yet formed a future national consciousness. , are all teachable.

"The air here is really good. The winter in London is terrible, cold and humid. My grandpa's legs hurt badly every winter—" Captain Ross also admitted that the conditions in Cyprus are very good, but there is not much feeling.

"Price, if you want, you can keep the house for yourself." Lieutenant Colonel Statham finally finished his breakfast. He and Price are both field officers and can be assigned to a townhouse. The general is Single-family villas, other staff are apartment buildings, and the size of the apartment varies according to the military rank.

"I reserved the best position for myself—" Major Price laughed out loud. If it's cheap, don't take advantage of the bastards. The British also pluck the wool of the British Empire every day.

Owning a house in Cyprus does not mean immigrating.

Unlike the southern Africans who love farms infinitely, the British have now advanced to the level of enjoying life. The beautiful Mediterranean Sea is an excellent holiday destination. With a house in Cyprus, they can come for vacation every winter and escape from the cold Humid fog.

"Leave your next door to me, and we will be neighbors in the future." Lieutenant Colonel Statham didn't flirt for nothing, and he didn't forget his subordinates: "Ross, why don't you keep one for you? It's a rare opportunity. -"

"Really? That would be great—" Captain Ross was overjoyed, but he didn't expect a big pie to fall from the sky.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lieutenant Colonel Statham and Major Price split up. Lieutenant Colonel Statham and Captain Ross went to the port by car, and Major Price went to Christian Human Resources Company to ask if the female workers required by the logistics department were in place. .

As the number of headquarters grows, more and more staff are needed. It is worth mentioning that although the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire have both nominally abolished slavery, in fact the situation in these two countries Still ubiquitous, especially in times of war, ten pounds can buy a man.

No, in Christian Human Resources Company, this is called hiring, but the employment period is a bit longer.

Christian Human Resources Company is indeed very efficient. When Major Price arrived at Christian Human Resources Company, all 200 workers were already in place. There were men, women and children, and they were all skilled workers. Some are good at mowing the lawn, some are good at washing and cooking, and they don't know how the headhunters of Christian Human Resources Company found them.

Headhunters can be regarded as slave traders in the new era.
