The final decision still has to be made by Rock.
Of course Roque would not refuse. He took all the orders with a stroke of his pen, as much as he wanted. Roque's demand for population can be said to be unlimited. In a place as big as southern Africa, there are now four colonies plus Rhodesia.
Nyasaland has only a little over two million people, and it can afford to support even a hundred times the population.
Of course, the more than two million people here do not include Africans. This is also a habit in southern Africa. Whether it was during the rule of the Boers or the British, local Africans were excluded from various statistics.
It's like they don't exist at all.
Roque will not make such a mistake. How indifferent he is towards Africans now, how violent the retaliation will be when Africans wake up in the future. Roque has never relied on Africans in building Nyasaland, and the Chinese in southern Africa are not
He owes Africans something, so when it comes time to be cruel in the future, Roque will not be lenient.
Just like in India now.
In May, the Indian government began a new round of taxation, large-scale riots broke out again, and Dhaka was also the center of the whirlpool.
On the first weekend of May, the new 1st Cavalry Division was dispatched four times in one day, going to four areas to maintain order. However, the new 1st Cavalry Division did not take action. Those who took action were purely composed of Indians.
Troops, the troops of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division are mainly responsible for holding down the formation. If the Indian troops cannot effectively control the situation, then the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division will need to take action.
"I even doubt whether those Indians are Indians. They are really cruel to civilians. They beat those who deserve to be beaten and arrest those who deserve to be arrested. The three prisons in Dhaka are full these days. I heard that a standard
There are more than 30 people in an eight-person cell. These Indians are also weird. They are happy to be put in prison because at least they have food to eat in prison." Xia Jiu, who returned to Calcutta, was very busy, but he was here in Rock every day.
Eat rice.
Xia Jiu brought back more than a thousand Gurkha mercenaries from Nepal. These mercenaries are now being trained in camps on the outskirts of Calcutta. The people responsible for training them are old employees transferred from Johannesburg. The umbrella company also implements strict regulations on employees.
Under military management, those instructors will become grassroots officials in the future, and the current recruits will be their subordinates in the future, so the instructors are very motivated.
Not to mention those Gurkha mercenaries. After they joined the Umbrella Company, they immediately enjoyed all the benefits of the Umbrella Company, which made all the Gurkha mercenaries ecstatic.
Life in the Umbrella Company is like a dream to the Gurkha mercenaries.
Although daily training is very hard, they never tire of it because if they perform well in training, there will be special rewards.
In fact, the rewards are not very special. The reward for the team that performs best in training every day is just an ice cream per person.
But for many Gurkha mercenaries, ice cream is the most delicious thing in the world. Most of them have never even heard of ice cream before, let alone eating it. In India, ice cream is
Food that only belonged to the British and princes and nobles was occasionally provided at the Governor's dinner, and ordinary wealthy people did not have the opportunity to taste it, let alone these Gurkha mercenaries who came from the depths of the mountains.
After hearing what Xia Jiu said, Luo Ke laughed and said nothing. Those who have illusions about British democracy should really come and see how the British dealt with the colonial natives.
"I thought of a good business. We can go to the city government to cooperate. If the city government's prisons can't hold so many criminals, let us deal with these criminals."
Business opportunities found in prison.
"How are you going to deal with it?" Rock was curious. Private prisons are actually not uncommon. There are many in the United States.
"Send them all to Fawalt to mine and sell them to Baron Henry." Xia Jiu used the wrong word, it should be Lord Fawalt.
However, Rock did not correct him. Instead, he seriously discussed this issue with Xia Jiu: "Sending those criminals to Johannesburg is equivalent to exile for India. Are you sure that their crimes have reached this level? What's more, the Indians
It’s not easy to manage. The British have colonized India for nearly a hundred years and it’s still in this state now. This may be a hot potato.”
This is the main reason why Rock doesn't like Indians. If it's just hygiene habits or different living habits, then you can also use coercive means to ask for correction.
But the problem with Indians is that there are too many problems that cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Therefore, Rock now understands the helplessness of the British government. It really has no way to start because there are problems everywhere.
"It's not the Indian government that has the final say whether to exile or not. It just costs money. No one cares about those Shudras and Dalits anyway. As for whether they can be managed well or not, hehehehe, the British government has not found a way. When it comes to the mines
, they don’t have the final say whether they work or not, and how much work they do. If they don’t work, they won’t have food to eat. If they starve them for a few days, they will be sure to be obedient.” Xia Jiu doesn’t worry about these problems. Luo Ke is often in a high position.
, there is no time or energy to deal with specific matters. People like Xia Jiu and others know the situation at the bottom best.
In Rock's opinion, the Zulus are probably also irrescuable.
But in Fawalte's mines, the Zulus worked very efficiently.
The key is that there are no various human rights organizations in this era. Henry also used barbarians to control barbarians and used Zulu people to manage the Zulus. If you don’t work, you will have no food. If you work well, you will be full.
There are extra rewards, and no other stimulation is needed. Just a little bit of food can make those Zulu people manage them obediently.
In fact, the Stockholm effect can easily occur between the managers and the managed in this relationship. When the life and death of the Zulu miners are all in the hands of the foreman and thugs, and the foreman and thugs can keep the miners alive, the miners will already
I am very grateful, and I will naturally work harder.
"Okay, if you want to give it a try, go ahead. If it's done well, it's also a good business." Luo Ke didn't interfere and didn't want to participate. Doing so would be punished by God, but judging from Xia Jiu's intentions, he wasn't too worried.
Divine punishment.
During the Boer War, Xia Jiu lost one of his hands and his face was disfigured. If he had been placed in the Qing Dynasty or in the British colonial troops, the most Xia Jiu would have received was a pitiful severance package, and then he would have been dismissed.
Return to the country of origin.
But here in Rock, Xia Jiu has been well taken care of. Now he not only holds a high position, but also has a family. Xia Jiu got married two years ago, and his wife is an eighteen-year-old Boer. Rock
I have met Xia Jiu's wife. If it were placed in the 21st century, Xia Jiu's wife would probably have the opportunity to participate in a beauty pageant.
Although she has just been married for two years, Xia Jiu now has two children. In Johannesburg, Xia Jiu owns a farm with an area of 2,000 acres. There are hundreds of employees on the farm. These people are all Zulu. Their
Xia Jiu's job was to grow potatoes, and then Xia Jiu produced her own vodka and sold it under the label of Johannesburg Distillery. The business was said to be very good.
For Xia Jiu, this is a blessing in disguise, so Xia Jiu is not worried about the so-called divine punishment at all. Now that Xia Jiu has a son and a daughter, everything is worry-free. Even if Xia Jiu encounters something unexpected now, Xia Jiu believes that Luo Ke will also
He takes good care of his wife, children, and children, so Xia Jiu is really not worried.
Just do it, Xia Jiu went to the police station to discuss the matter with the police chief the next day.
Police Chief Garfield Huntington is having a headache over this matter. Unlike the UK and southern Africa, the most important thing in India is people. However, so many people have not done anything serious. Many people have no jobs at all and can only do nothing.
So once someone instigates someone, they will make trouble with great force.
Dhaka used to have only one prison, and the other two prisons were added after the partition of Bengal by former Governor George Curzon, but they still could not accommodate the increasing number of criminals.
After Xia Jiu expressed his attitude to Garfield Huntington, Garfield Huntington was so overjoyed that he didn't even ask where Xia Jiu sent the people, and even directly handed over the management of the three prisons to Xia Jiu.
So the next day, Umbrella Company successfully took over three prisons in Dhaka.
Three days later, the supply ship returned to Port Edward and transferred 1,500 prisoners to Johannesburg.
These people were sold to Henry by Xia Jiu to mine in Fawalt. Of course, mining is paid. The salary Henry paid to these prisoners was cheaper than the Zulus, only half of the Zulus.
These salaries are Xia Jiu's income. Henry has saved costs, Xia Jiu has gained income, and the prisoners can finally have enough to eat. It seems that all parties are satisfied.
Roque was not used to these things. As the commotion intensified, conflicts finally broke out between the military police and civilians. In an operation in mid-May, Dhaka residents threw stones at Indian troops performing a mission. As a result, the Indian soldiers lost control of their emotions and were killed on the spot.
Shooting killed and wounded fourteen civilians.
"Two people were killed and twelve were injured. Gentlemen, how should we deal with this matter?" Lord Belloc had a headache. At a time when conflicts are so acute, the occurrence of this kind of thing is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, that is,
Information in this era is not smooth. If the Internet era comes in the future, it will immediately cause an uproar.
Roark didn't speak, and sat under Lord Belloc, lowering his head to fiddle with the pen in his hand.
Mars Howard didn't say anything, drank tea a little loudly, and spat the tea leaves onto the table rudely, attracting Lord Belloc's glare.
Garfield Huntington seemed to have heard nothing, and seemed to be picking at his nails because of black mud in his nails.
