Chapter 995

Ten advertisements in British newspapers before the outbreak of the World War would have had as much impact as a boatload of potatoes today.

Human nature always seeks profit. When the federal government gave money and land, few people were willing to immigrate to southern Africa. Now that southern Africa has stopped propaganda, immigration benefits have been cancelled, and even boat tickets are not reimbursed. Those who voluntarily immigrate to southern Africa There are more and more people.

Before the outbreak of the World War, the relationship between Belgium and southern Africa was very bad because of the Congo Free State. Southern Africa was described by Belgian newspapers as hell on earth, and the southern Africans were naturally devils who came out of hell.

During the British Expeditionary Force's attack on Belgium, it was true that some Belgians felt hostility, but more Belgians welcomed the British Expeditionary Force. As they learned more about the officers and soldiers of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the Belgians Attitudes toward southern Africa are also changing.

At least, in southern Africa, southern Africa is really not a small country like Belgium with few people, bullying whoever wants to bully, in southern Africa, southern Africa can bully whoever wants to bully.

Southern Africa is not as desolate and barren as the Belgian newspapers advertised, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the fact that Britain and France have already dried up their finances, but there are more and more supplies related to southern Africa.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force in Belgium is not a devil either. They are strong, confident, well-educated and have a prosperous life. When the Belgian army collapsed and most of Belgium’s land was occupied, the British Expeditionary Force, mainly composed of southern African troops, led Belgian People were rescued from the iron heels of the German army, so the goodwill came so unexpectedly.

"Immigration is now much more difficult than before. Many welfare policies for new immigrants have been cancelled. Several richer states no longer accept new immigrants. The only options for new immigrants are Tanganyika and Southwest Africa. ——Maybe the Mesopotamia can be added now.” Qin Ling didn’t know much about immigration, and before meeting Sophia, Qin Ling never even had the extravagant hope of having a family.

Never underestimate the temptation of a happy family to an orphan who has never felt the warmth of a family.

"Tanganyika and Southwest Africa seem to be German colonies—" Garcia has obviously done his homework. The Belgians have a deep-rooted fear of the Germans and the French. Whether the Germans become stronger or the French become stronger, Belgium always The first one was unlucky.

Can a small country with few people live well?

Ha ha!

Even an ancient empire like the Ottoman Empire would fall as soon as it was said. Unless it is a country like Switzerland with a complex terrain and all the people are soldiers, there are no coveted strategic resources in the country. If you hit me, I will go all out with anyone, so that I can survive.

"It used to be—" Qin Ling said concisely.

Garcia Sofia and the others didn't dare to confirm, they widened their eyes and waited for Qin Ling's explanation.

"Southwest Africa and Tanganyika used to be German colonies, but they are no longer. We in southern Africa have already occupied Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, so we don't have to worry about the threat of the Germans." Qin Ling has confidence in the federal government of southern Africa.

In other words, Qin Ling has confidence in Earl Nyasaland.

"Occupying now does not mean belonging to southern Africa forever—" Garcia was not as relaxed as Qinling.

Qin Ling frowned and thought for a while before he understood Garcia's cautious hesitation.

"Don't worry, no one can take the land we occupy in southern Africa from us." Qin Ling's domineering side leaked, and the small country with few people really couldn't understand Qin Ling's mentality of a big country.

"That's great. I still have a little savings at home. I'll find Harry in a few days to see if I can sell the house, so that we can get together the travel expenses to southern Africa." Garcia made up his mind and had no plans Completely rely on Qin Ling, a cheap son-in-law.

Qin Ling didn't speak, and he would definitely help if he could, but it mainly depended on the efforts of Sophia's family.

On Christmas Day, the Second Cavalry Division had a collective holiday except for combat readiness. The flea market next to the Antwerp barracks opened on time. Soldiers of the Expeditionary Army and citizens of Antwerp regarded it as a rare entertainment.

Qin Ling was not in the mood to go to the flea market, so he returned to the camp and went directly to the company commander Gao Shan.

"You want to send Sophia's family to southern Africa?" Gao Shan had a weird expression. There are many battlefield lovers like Qin Ling and Sophia in the Second Cavalry Division. Some people have so-called confidante in almost every city, but like Qin Ling There are not many people who are so caring, and most of them go their separate ways after a night of romance.

"Yes, Sophia's family is very difficult in Antwerp—" Qin Ling is a responsible person.

"Brother, listen to me, you don't need to do this at all, I know Sophia is very good, but you deserve better, aren't those little nurses in the field hospital bad? Helen just asked about you, but you are the one in their hearts A great hero." Gao Shan earnestly said that 265 victories are not something that any precise shooter can achieve. After the war, people like Qin Ling will rush to get it no matter which army they go to.

Helen is a doctor at the military hospital where Qin Ling works and a student at the Johannesburg Medical College. After the war, Helen would rush to ask for it at any hospital, so in Gao Shan's view, there was really no need for Qin Ling to hang himself on Sophia's crooked neck tree.

"For me, Sophia is the most suitable." Qin Ling knew what he wanted. If Helen was willing to marry Qin Ling as a housewife after the war, Qin Ling would certainly consider it, but it was obviously impossible. Helen had her own The life of life does not need to depend on anyone, nor will it depend on anyone.

After the outbreak of the World War II, the status of women in southern Africa has been rising. In the two positions of expeditionary military doctors and nurses, more than 80.00% of the members are women. Armament factories in southern Africa have begun to recruit female workers. Female employees at all levels of government Also more and more, after the disappearance of gender discrimination, the enthusiasm of women to participate in social work is getting higher and higher.

This will of course lead to some other social problems. How to deal with these problems is a new topic for governments at all levels. Qinling does not need a strong woman to be his wife, but only wants a warm family.

"Don't be silly brother, if you send Sophia's family to southern Africa, you should know what that means." Gao Shan looked at Qin Ling with pity.

"I know—" Qin Ling was firm, and there was no room for relaxation on this issue.

"Okay then, let me ask for you to see when there is a place for the boat to go back." Gao Shan has fulfilled his duty of persuasion as a superior and friend, and the next step is to help.

"By the way, ask me, is there any farm in Tanganyika with a cheaper price?" Qin Ling thought too much.

"You want to buy a farm?" Gao Shan's expression was broken.

"right--"

"Think about it brother, you bought the farm, if this happens, bah bah bah——" Gao Shan suddenly shut up.

It's nothing in case, Qin Ling has no family members, if Qin Ling dies in battle, all of Qin Ling's property will be taken away by Sophia.

Qin Ling didn't speak, but made gestures on his stomach.

"Have a child?" Gao Shan was surprised.

Qin Ling nodded.

"That really has to be sent away—" Gao Shan immediately changed his attitude, but he had doubts: "Brother——"

"Don't think about it, it's not such a mess—" Qin Ling knew what Gao Shan was worried about, but this worry was unnecessary. In Antwerp now, there are not many men in the entire city except for the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary army.

The destructive power of the war is so bad. After the outbreak of the World War, the whole country of Belgium was mobilized immediately, and most of the men were forced to join the army.

After Antwerp was occupied by the German army, more than half of the remaining men were forced to work as laborers. The remaining men in Antwerp are either old people like Garcia or young children like Tony.

"Then why are you hesitating, congratulations brother, no matter whether the child is male or female, I will be the godfather of the child, you have no objection to this." Gao Shan is very happy for his brother, the current godfather has not been spoiled by playing , is pure godfather.

"Then find me a good farm." Qin Ling was even happier. With a child, Qin Ling has roots in this world. No matter how far he goes, he will never forget the way home.

"Don't worry, I'll call Yasuo right away, we must leave the best farm to our brothers, how big are you going to buy?" Gao Shan has a way, the welfare of soldiers in southern Africa is very good, most of the farms in Tanganyika They are not for sale, they are reserved for the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force who are still fighting in Europe. Through the military service agency, it is very simple and cheap to buy a farm.

"How much is an acre?" Qin Ling said according to his ability.

"The farms in Tanganyika are more expensive, like 1.5 rand per acre, and the farms in Southwest Africa and Port Elizabeth are cheaper, about [-] rand per acre." According to Gao Shan's casual report, this price is a special benefit for soldiers, new Not to mention enjoying preferential prices, immigrants are not even eligible to buy.

"Buy Tanganyika, 300 acres, no, 400—" Qin Ling seized the opportunity, 400 acres, about 2400 acres——

Even in southern Africa, they are proper small landlords.

"Awesome, my brother, have you saved so much during this time?" Gao Shan was surprised. The 400 acres of Tanganyika cost about 600 rand. If you earn a salary honestly, it will take about six years to earn enough.

"Is it amazing? How much did you like it?" Qin Ling wasn't too proud. The expeditionary army, whoever was up and down, had already saved three to five hundred rands. There would only be more officers like Gao Shan.

Don't forget that the Second Cavalry Division participated in the war against the Ottoman Empire before moving to Belgium. Think about the accumulation of the Ottoman Empire for more than 1700 years.

Suddenly, I felt that 600 rand was a bit small.
