Southern Africa has worked hard to popularize compulsory education for more than ten years, and now the literacy rate is just over 50%. "Literacy" here refers to the level of being able to read and read newspapers, even if the Indian type can write their own name
The blindness is purely funny.
The literacy rate in Southern Africa is relatively high. Even middle-aged and elderly people who have never received any education. As long as they have received compulsory education in Southern Africa, most of them can be bilingual in Chinese and English. Basically, the same is true for white Chinese.
Of course there are exceptions. For example, the vast majority of people in Orange State don't even speak Chinese, they don't even know English. This is equivalent to annihilating their future in southern Africa.
After the establishment of the Southern African Union, the military also began to promote Chinese and English. Although many Africans serving in the military are not able to read books and newspapers, they can still say hello or even have simple conversations on weekdays. This requires
Thanks to the strict requirements of southern African officers, many troops have compulsory learning tasks every day. If they fail to learn, they will not be given meals. This is the most effective punishment for African-American soldiers, more effective than fines.
The fines will not be cashed until the salary is paid, but they will be cashed immediately when they are not allowed to eat. In order to learn "Hello", many African-American soldiers chanted it while standing on guard.
The camp where the Third Battalion is located covers an area of about one hundred acres. The camp is divided into living areas and training grounds. The soldiers live in wooden barracks, and the officers live in the only office building in the camp.
It needs to be emphasized that the office building is also made of wood, but the ground in the camp has been completely hardened, including part of the training ground.
Like the Southern African Defense Force, the coalition forces also use the three-three system, with one battalion and three companies, and the total number of people including the battalion headquarters is about 450.
Although the number of people is small, the area that the Third Battalion is responsible for is not small. From the north shore of Lake Victoria to the south shore of Lake Kioga, the distance is about 75 kilometers, all of which are the defense areas of the Third Battalion.
There is a river between Lake Victoria and Lake Kioga called the Victoria Nile. This river is one of the sources of the Nile, also called the White Nile. It meets the Blue Nile in the Sudan Plain, and then becomes the familiar Nile.
The water network around the Nile River in Victoria is developed and the land is fertile, making it very suitable for plantations.
After Southern Africa occupied this area, it distributed the land in this area to some of the Southern African Defense Force soldiers who had distinguished themselves during the World War. Now there are considerable coffee plantations and rubber plantations in this area.
Note that it is "distributed"? Not sold? Is this to accelerate the development of this area and form a fait accompli? This gives the Southern African federal government a reason not to back down.
"Recently, East Africa is in a lawsuit with us? If we want to return to Lake Victoria, we must be more vigilant when patrolling? To prevent East Africans from taking the opportunity to cause trouble." Chu Zhen just received a telegram from the military department. The telegram stated clearly? What if?
East Africans dare to provoke? Then resolutely fight back and not give up an inch of ground.
"How dare East Africans look for trouble? Lend them some courage!" Peyton Kimberly laughed, unless the East Africans are crazy.
"It's hard to say, the benefits will get carried away to a certain extent -" Chu Zhen thought for a long time before he found a suitable translation.
If this sentence were to be expressed in Chinese, could it be fully expressed by "Li Ling Zhi Fa"? In English, it would take 14 words, and I still feel that the meaning is still unfinished. Chinese is indeed very scientific.
"Report!" The voice of the officer on duty came from outside the door.
"Come in." Payton Kimberly sat upright.
"Major, about a thousand East Africans have crossed the border and are heading towards us." The report of the officer on duty made Payton Kimberly furious.
"Assemble the troops? Let's teach the East Africans a hard lesson!" Peyton Kimberly jumped up, but he didn't expect the East Africans to be so kind.
"Major? It's not an army, it's more than a thousand women and children——" The officer on duty was very embarrassed.
Peyton Kimberly is speechless? What's the point of letting women and children come in, testing?
Whether it was a test or not? Payton Kimberly and Chu Zhen rushed to the boundary line as quickly as possible.
This boundary line was set by the Southern African Defense Force itself? It was not recognized by the East African colonial government.
But it doesn’t matter? The Southern African Defense Forces don’t want to go too far. The purpose of setting this border is not to warn East Africans, but to restrain the ambitions of the Southern African Defense Forces.
Without this proactive border line, sooner or later, the entire East Africa will be annexed by Southern Africa.
When Payton Kimberly and Chu Zhen arrived at the scene, soldiers from the third battalion had already surrounded the women and children who had crossed the border.
It can be seen that the living conditions of these women and children are not good. Most of them don't even have clothes. Only a few of them carry luggage. The way East Africans carry luggage is also very interesting. They don't carry it on their backs or carry it, but on their backs.
Using the head, although this can free up the hands, it also generally causes East African women to be short in height.
It should be noted here that polygamy is practiced in East Africa. Men generally do not work, but women do.
The women and children surrounded by their backs looked terrified. Some were pleading with the Union soldiers who were armed with live ammunition. Many children did not know whether they were frightened or hungry. They were crying loudly. As a result, almost all the children burst into tears.
, causing so much crying that if someone heard this, they would think that the Union soldiers had done something outrageous.
"Major, they were all East Africans who lived on the shores of Lake Victoria before. Now they hope to return to live on the shores of Lake Victoria. They will not cause trouble to us. Just give them a piece of land and let them fend for themselves -" the leader
The second lieutenant platoon leader had a grim look on his face. You could tell by looking at his rank that he probably had just graduated from the Nyasaland Army Academy and had not yet experienced the baptism of war.
"We've already allocated all the land by Lake Victoria. Where can we find a piece of land to house them?" Peyton Kimberly lowered his voice and said fiercely. It's not that the soldiers of Southern Africa are inhumane. The humanity of the soldiers of Southern Africa only exists in the face of Southern Africa.
Only people have it. When facing East Africans - haha.
"There are always those who haven't been sorted out. It's really not possible to place them near our camp. Anyway, we need people to help us with washing clothes, cooking, cleaning and so on-" The second lieutenant's reason seemed to be very sufficient, but it was different from Southern Africa.
conflict with the policies.
There are no Africans in southern Africa, and this cannot be changed.
"Dream! You wash your own clothes, cook your own meals, and clean your own toilets. Don't always think about pushing your work to others." Payton Kimberly was decisive. The young man's mind must be transformed. This will not work.
"I remember when we sent them away, we gave them enough money to settle down elsewhere. Where was the money?" Chu Zhen's attitude was the same as Payton Kimberly's. It's easy to ask for help but hard to send away.
During the World War, fierce battles took place between the southern African army and the German army around Lake Victoria. At that time, people living around Lake Victoria fled one after another to escape the war, leaving only ten houses around Lake Victoria empty.
After the Southern African Army wiped out the German army, those Africans who fled the war tried to return to Lake Victoria, but were rejected by the Southern African Army. The Africans who stayed around Lake Victoria and did not escape were all moved away by the Southern African Army.
The "relocation" here must be partly forced. However, for every African who leaves Lake Victoria, the Southern African Army will provide a part of the cash subsidy in accordance with the regulations of the federal government. The figure is about ten rand per person. Although this money is not
A lot, but enough for those Africans to settle elsewhere.
Although land in southern Africa is very expensive, in fact, around southern Africa, the price of land is still very cheap. For example, in East Africa, one acre of land is only about one rand. It is normal for an East African family to have a family of more than ten people.
Rand, enough to buy a hundred acres of land elsewhere in East Africa.
"Either it was spent all or it was robbed. Anyway, the money is gone." The second lieutenant looked helpless. Whether it was spent or robbed, it had nothing to do with southern Africa.
At this time, for some unknown reason, the crying started louder again, and Payton Kimberly's temples were beating. He felt that the sound was more terrifying than the sound of gunfire.
"Is there a leader? Call over -" Payton Kimberly will not come forward directly. There are lessons for this. If he comes forward rashly, think of the Cape State officials who were detained by McClair's rebels.
The second lieutenant took the order and left, and after a while he brought back two scrawny old men.
"Sir, good afternoon -" The old man saluted respectfully according to the rules when facing British people. He also wanted to lie down and kiss Peyton Kimberly's shoes, which shocked Peyton Kimberly.
"Don't be like this, stand up and talk properly. What's your purpose?" Payton Kimberly can't stand this kind of etiquette. Kneeling down is insulting enough. What's the point of lying down and kissing shoes——
"We hope to return home-" The old man looked at Peyton Kimberly with hopeful eyes.
"Who asked you to come back?" Payton Kimberly was unmoved. Without everyone, how would we have a small family?
"Without anyone, we really have nowhere to go. The plantation masters need young and strong labor force, and they don't need useless guys like us -" The old man looked sad. The plantation owners in East Africa are better than the plantations in southern Africa.
The Lord is even more hateful.
Plantation owners in southern Africa are required to pay salaries when hiring Africans to work. Although the salaries are a bit low, they are never in arrears and will not be deducted without reason.
For East African plantation owners, forget about salary. As long as they can provide enough food, they don't need to think about other aspects.
Payton Kimberly wanted to drive these people away directly, but looking at the tearful old man in front of him and hearing the louder cries in the distance, Payton Kimberly really couldn't make up his mind.
