Therefore, before Nyasaland has sufficient self-preservation capabilities, or in other words, before it implements autonomy in southern Africa, Nyasaland must fully maintain a low profile. Even if Nyasaland’s abundant aquatic products are endless, Luo
Gram will not sell aquatic products to outsiders.
Even if the mines in the Transvaal needed explosives from Nyasaland, Rock would not sell the explosives to the Transvaal.
The same goes for human resources. Roque immigrated to Johannesburg for more than a year, and the Chinese population in Johannesburg has just exceeded 100,000.
Less than half a year after Nyasaland came to Roque's hands, the number of Chinese in Nyasaland has exceeded 150,000. This information is Nyasaland's top secret. Xiao Si doesn't know it, Ade doesn't know it, and the same goes for London.
have no idea.
Also increasing rapidly are various experts, professors, engineers, technicians, and even skilled workers. Rock collects talents through different channels. High-end talents include Douglas, and low-end talents include Christian. Rock even has offices in London and Paris.
, Berlin has set up headhunting companies to lure all kinds of talents with high salaries and generous benefits.
The flow of talents in this era is very normal. Governments of various countries do not attach as much importance to talents as they will in the future. There will always be talents who are not recognized. In a customary sense, Nyasaland is also a British territory, so working for a baron,
It's not something unacceptable.
Especially since this baron is very generous, there is even more reason.
The current number of high-level talents in Nyasaland is enough to support a comprehensive university. The reason why the university has not started yet is that, in addition to the lack of suitable students, the impact is the biggest problem. Rock doesn't want to be noticed yet, boring.
Making a fortune is the way to go.
In November, the plague situation became more and more serious. The death toll in Johannesburg exceeded one hundred, and the number of patients and suspected patients in the quarantine area exceeded one thousand. After half a month of research, Abu and Bellamy finally came up with an effective set of methods.
According to the isolation plan, doctors and nurses from Ziwei Hospital began to enter the isolation area to provide medical services to patients in the isolation area.
Relatively speaking, the situation in Johannesburg is still good. In Pretoria, nearly a thousand people have died due to the plague, most of whom were Zulus hired by Christian.
Orange suffered heavy losses from the plague, with at least 500 people dying every day in October. By early November, the death toll in Orange had exceeded 10,000.
When the plague began, Orange also hoped that Johannesburg could provide medical support to Bloemfontein. After being firmly rejected by Johannesburg, Bloemfontein could only try to save itself. However, due to poor organizational and mobilization capabilities, the effect of self-rescue was not good.
No, the plague has not been effectively contained, but has intensified.
Outside the Bloemfontein city hall, the stretcher-bearing team led by Gandhi played an "important role."
The reason why "important role" is put in quotation marks is because the role of the stretcher team is difficult to evaluate.
After the plague broke out, Gandhi keenly felt that this was an important opportunity to increase his reputation, so he led a stretcher team to immediately engage in the prevention and control of the plague.
The plague has been raging in Europe for nearly a thousand years, and European countries have accumulated rich experience in fighting the plague. Therefore, Bloemfontein's response to the plague is mainly isolation and treatment.
The meaning of this sentence is that if you get the plague, you basically have to wait for death. Whether you can survive it depends on whether God will give you face.
In terms of isolation, Bloemfontein did not take more protective measures, so the stretcher team led by Gandhi shuttled through the streets of Bloemfontein every day without any protection, carrying patients infected with the plague.
, and suspected patients were sent to the isolation area.
Yersinia pestis can be spread through indirect means such as breathing, talking, coughing, etc., as well as through direct means such as skin-to-skin contact. Therefore, in early November, the Bloemfontein Municipal Government was surprised to find that the stretcher team led by Gandhi had already
One of the members was infected with the plague.
This time the problem became big. Originally, the Bloemfontein Municipal Government also imposed martial law on Bloemfontein in order to fight the plague. However, they did not expect that these Indians who shuttled through the streets and alleys every day would become the source of plague infection, so
Members of the stretcher team who were infected with the plague were also placed in an isolation area, and the movements of the remaining stretcher team members were also restricted.
Although the role of the stretcher team was mixed, Gandhi's actions won him great popularity among the lower-class Boers.
When the plague broke out, Boer officials including Louis Botha and Jan Smuts hid in the high-rise city hall building. They did not have to face the threat of the plague directly and used meetings every day to fight against the ravages of the plague.
The police at the Bloemfontein Police Station are still on patrol, but they will not participate in disaster relief. Even if someone dies in front of them, they will not dispose of the body. Instead, they will notify the Zulu corpse collection team to clean up the mess.
During the plague, the stretcher team led by Gandhi was the only group that provided services to the Boers at the bottom. In fact, the Boers had the characteristic of being fearless. Even if Gandhi's stretcher team ended up becoming the source of infection, the Boers at the bottom would still be there.
I believe that only Gandhi's stretcher-bearing team thought wholeheartedly about the Boers.
This dramatic result was probably something even Gandhi did not expect.
During the days when the plague was raging, people were running around in Johannesburg.
After several bargaining sessions, Roque and the former president finally reached an agreement, with Roque sending mercenaries to assist the former president's Casimir Perrier company in mining Madagascar's mineral resources.
Rock still gave in and did not insist on a 50% share. In the end, he only got 30%. But in this way, the mercenaries sent by Rock were no longer free, but needed Casimir.
Perrier pays the fee.
As a result of the final negotiation, Roque will send a group of sixty mercenaries to Madagascar. These sixty people are combatants and instructors. After arriving in Madagascar, Casimir Perrier Company will organize a team composed of Malagasy people.
The security team, these mercenaries are responsible for managing and training those security guards.
The person in charge who led the team to Madagascar was called Chief. This is not a nickname. Chief is really the son of a chief in Zululand. However, the structure of his name is also very complicated, so when the chief registered, he used the name Chief.
The chief had no inheritance rights in his tribe, so he chose to work as a police officer in Johannesburg.
"Be careful when you arrive in Madagascar. All the officers of the mine's security team must be our people. The French are not allowed to interfere in any affairs of the security team. During your trip to Madagascar, your salary will still be paid by the Johannesburg Police Department.
The original salary plus the overseas allowance, each person's monthly salary is about ten pounds. I will send a telegraph agent to go to Madagascar with you. No matter what it is, report it to the bureau first and don't make decisions privately."
Roque repeatedly warned that if the Chinese people's skin color was not too conspicuous, Roque would not let the chief go to Madagascar.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Every time Rock said something, the chief would yell "Yes", which made Rock a little uncomfortable.
What kind of people bring out what kind of soldiers? Rock himself does not follow the rules, and his thoughts are even more unconstrained. The atmosphere in the Johannesburg Police Station is also very active. During non-working hours, the police officers and police officers get along very harmoniously. On the football field
When police officers defend the sergeant, they should act accordingly, and there are no strict class boundaries.
All police officers in the Johannesburg Police Department know that when Roque orders work, the officer does not need to show determination or have a correct attitude. In the end, as long as the job is done well, as long as the buttocks are upright, Roque will do it even if there are some minor flaws in the work.
Stand up for your subordinates without worrying about the repercussions.
Therefore, there are not many people in the Johannesburg Police Department with a correct attitude like the Chief.
"After arriving in Madagascar, if you encounter difficulties, you must send a telegram in time to request support. The foundation of French rule in Madagascar is not solid. If you encounter a serious incident, you must save yourself first. Don't get carried away by giving some benefits to the French.
"Roque is still worried about the chief's ethics. If the French try to lure them with benefits and move them with "emotion", it's really hard to say about the ethics of the Africans.
In this regard, Roque has taken some precautions. For example, the Chiefs' salaries are paid by the Johannesburg Police Department, so at least the Chiefs know who they are working for.
As for the chief's ethics, Rock is actually not too worried. After all, the chief's family is in Johannesburg and the tribesmen are all in Zululand. If the chief does something to offend Rock, it will be easy for Rock to punish the chief, unless the chief's heart
He can be so ruthless that he doesn't care about anything.
However, the former president should not be able to give the chief this kind of temptation. After all, if the chief commits a crime, Roque will not let the former president go.
This may seem a bit exaggerated, but in fact there is nothing wrong with it. The level of chaos in the world at the beginning of the 20th century is unimaginable to people in the 21st century. In a few years, King Carlos I of the Kingdom of Portugal and the Crown Prince will encounter each other on the street.
The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, who triggered the First World War, was also assassinated on the street. Compared with the 21st century, the world of this era is bloodier, more violent, and more direct.
"Don't worry, Lord, just like you said, eat the candy and then shoot back the cannonballs." Speaking of the benefits, the chief's mind immediately became bright.
Rock has indeed mentioned the allusion of "sugar-coated cannonballs" before. It's really hard for the chief to still remember it.
"Very well, remember this, as long as you do well, I can guarantee that you don't need to go home to fight for the chief of your family. I will give you a bigger tribe and make you a real chief."
Roque can also lure them for profit and move them with emotion, and his power is much greater than that of the French.
