Investment in education can be said to be endless. No matter how much Rock invests in education, it will not be able to fully meet the growing needs of the Chinese in Johannesburg.
In fact, the number of Chinese is really growing very fast. The number of children of almost all Chinese families who come to Johannesburg is growing rapidly at the rate of one per year. The obstetrics and gynecology department of Ziwei Hospital was just a separate department at first. Now it has
It was independent from Ziwei Hospital and became a specialized maternal and child hospital.
Almost every month, hundreds of babies are born in Johannesburg, with the maximum number reaching almost a thousand in a month. The demand for education in the future is obvious. Rock has not yet opened educational resources to Gurkhas and whites, otherwise Rock would
The pressure will be greater.
After the Gurkhas came to Johannesburg, they adapted to life in Johannesburg as quickly as possible.
In fact, the demand for labor in the farms around Johannesburg is too strong.
The arrival of the Chinese once solved most of the labor problems in Johannesburg. Now with the development of Nyasaland and Rhodesia's demand for new immigrants, the Chinese have a better place to go. In Nyasaland, the Chinese can
Enter factories to become workers and live a stable life. Rhodesia provides various conveniences for the Chinese and encourages the Chinese to buy farms in Rhodesia. Therefore, many Chinese leave Johannesburg for Nyasaland and Rhodesia.
The arrival of the Erkha people effectively made up for the labor shortage caused by the departure of a large number of Chinese.
Those Gurkhas are indeed hard-working and capable, and their requirements for life are very low. As long as they have a job to support their families, those Gurkhas will be satisfied.
The most indispensable thing in Johannesburg now is food. Farmers can grow potatoes for two years. That is to say, the demand for potatoes from wineries is increasing. The price of potatoes in Johannesburg has remained at a relatively stable level. If
Without the consumption of wineries, it is estimated that the price of potatoes in Johannesburg would have completely collapsed by now.
With the addition of Gurkha mercenaries, the size of the newly formed First Cavalry Division finally exceeded 5,000, and expanded into three regiments based on the previous three battalions. According to the traditional habits of the British army, these three regiments also
Each has its own designation, namely: Johannesburg Cavalry Regiment, Pretoria Rifles Regiment, and Ziwei Motorized Infantry Regiment.
The leader of the Johannesburg Cavalry Regiment is Geng Biao, who came back from India with Rock. Jing, the former commander of Company B of the training camp, serves as the leader of the Pretoria Rifle Regiment. The most eye-catching one is the Taste Motorized Infantry Regiment.
It was Li Fei, the commander of Company A of the former training camp. The former training camp has now been reorganized into the Johannesburg Army Officers School. The principal is Lieutenant Colonel Derek Dodd, who has settled in Johannesburg.
In August, the British Parliament reviewed the Earl of Selborne's proposal and agreed in principle to autonomy for southern Africa. The issue that Rock was most worried about finally emerged. In terms of the positioning of Rhodesia and Nyasara, Parliament appeared
caused considerable controversy.
The so-called Southern Africa generally refers to the Cape, Natal, Transvaal and Orange, and does not include Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
Before Nyasaland became Rock Territory, it was part of Rhodesia and was under the jurisdiction of the South African Company.
Under Roque's rule, Nyasaland has developed rapidly, and the potential it has shown cannot be ignored. Coupled with Nyasaland's annexation of Portuguese East Africa, the territory of Nyasaland is now larger than that of the United Kingdom.
The area is even larger, so when Congress was discussing Rhodesia and Nyasaland, some members suggested that Rhodesia and Nyasaland should be independent from southern Africa and still be under the direct jurisdiction of the British government.
This was a result that neither Rock nor Stoudemire wanted to see, so Rock immediately discussed with Stoudemire and decided to let Stoudemire go to London to lobby for the merger of Rhodesia, Nyasaland and Southern Africa.
Both Ke and Stoudemire's plans will come to nothing.
"Don't worry, even if I throw money at them, I will convince those congressmen!" Stoudemire also spent a lot of money this time. He and Roque each spent 100,000 pounds, preparing to use it to attack Congress.
Lobbying”.
Relatively speaking, the status of Rhodesia and Nyasaland is not that important. After all, Rhodesia and Nyasaland do not have a large amount of gold like Johannesburg. It is of great significance to the British government to stabilize domestic finance. There are people in Congress.
The proposal to isolate Rhodesia, Nyasaland and southern Africa is probably a manifestation of the nature of the "corrupt state". It will artificially create a rift between Rhodesia, Nyasaland and southern Africa, setting the stage for future intervention in southern Africa.
African affairs are a thorn in the side, so Rock and Stoudemire have to spend a lot of money this time.
As the saying goes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems, the key is
The key is that both Rock and Stoudemire are rich.
"We need to make more use of the power of Winston and Neville. They both support the autonomy of southern Africa. We also need to create some pressure on London. Didn't someone propose to let London directly govern it? That's easy to do. Give money, give
Let's agree to the money." Rock really doesn't want to go to London, otherwise it would be more appropriate for Rock to come forward in this matter. After all, Rock is a serious military aristocrat and has more weight than Stoudemire.
It can be said that Rock did not spend a penny from London in building Nyasaland. Even the territory was purchased directly from the South African company with Rock's money. Therefore, Rock did not owe London anything and he was very tough on this matter.
If the British government wants to directly manage Nyasaland, it is easy to say that Nyasaland does not yet have a complete government agency. If the British government wants to directly administer Nyasaland, then government departments will have to be established one by one, and they will also have to bear the responsibilities of Rhodes.
The military expenses for the Northern Division of West Asia stationed in Nyasaland are not small. They are more than 20,000 pounds per month. Rock guessed that London would not be willing to pay for it, so he could just talk about direct jurisdiction.
As for Winston and Neville, one of them has greater influence in Parliament, and the other can influence the British government through his father and brother. Don’t forget that Winston and Neville played a key role in Rock, Stork, and Henry.
They all have shares in the mining companies they established, so they will definitely do their best. Stoudemire went to London just to spend money.
"What does Viscount Harewood mean? Can Viscount help with this issue?" Stoudemire also hopes to get help from Ade.
"Governor Ade probably won't be of much help. The Transvaal and Orange were pacified by Governor Ade. As a result, they have only been stable for a few years. Southern Africa is going to be autonomous. It would be good if Governor Ade does not object.
However, I have already discussed this matter with Governor Ade, and even want to ask Governor Ade to return to Southern Africa at an appropriate time to serve. Let’s talk about it then.” Roque has no choice now, Ade has never agreed to return to Southern Africa.
, went deep into London and came out briefly, and it was said that he wanted to sort out his experiences over the years and publish a memoir.
At this time, Roark had an opportunity to perform, so Roark directly promised Ade that if possible, Roark would be willing to help Ade publish.
Speaking of this kind of celebrity biography, if no one sponsors it, it is estimated that with Ade's financial resources, it will be difficult to actually print the book.
Even if it can be published, it probably won't be able to print many copies and it won't have much influence.
It would be different if Roque was willing to help. Don't forget that Roque has several newspapers in the UK. With all the newspapers working together, it is estimated that many people will be interested in Ade's experience over the years.
"This reason is too narrow. Viscount Hailwood should hope that southern Africa will get better and better, so autonomy for Southern Africa is also a good thing for Viscount Hailwood." Stoudemire does not think so. No matter what the future of southern Africa is, Ade is destined to
It will leave a profound mark in the history of southern Africa, so Xiaosi is very envious.
Ordinarily, Cecil Rhodes should have left an important mark in the history of Rhodesia. It is a pity that in another time and space, Rhodesia will no longer exist in the future. What Cecil Rhodes left behind
The bronze statue was also torn down, and I don't know if Stoudemire regretted it at that time.
In early September, Stoudemire left southern Africa for London, while Rock and Phyllis went to Nyasaland for vacation.
In fact, vacation is a saying. The popular lifestyle in Western society is to be able to work as well as live. This is implemented most thoroughly by Harry Spencer in Johannesburg. He spends at least half of his time on vacation every year. Most of the time, the Johannesburg Police Department
The work is actually presided over by Li Dezai.
Roque certainly did not go to Nyasaland simply for a vacation. After the newly formed First Cavalry Division added Gorkha mercenaries, some of the soldiers from the newly formed First Cavalry Division were transferred to serve in the Northern Rhodesia Division.
Ke returned to Nyasaland also to inspect the work of the Northern Rhodesian Division.
Anton and Martin performed well during this period. Now Anton is gradually transitioning to the administrative side. When Roque is not in Nyasaland, Anton is basically responsible for the work in Nyasaland. The Northern Rhodesian Division
In fact, Martin is in charge of the work. Rock's trip to Nyasaland this time is mainly to correct Anton and Martin, so that the development of Nyasaland will be on the right track.
No matter what happened to Nyasaland, Phyllis was not in a good mood during this period.
Ada almost left India with Roque, but instead of going back to southern Africa, Ada actually went to France.
The reason for going to France was very simple. Ada was pregnant and did not dare to go back to Johannesburg to face Phyllis, so she simply went back to France to take refuge.
As Mrs. Nyasaland, Phyllis is very well-informed now. I don’t know where she got the news. She has not given Roark a good look in recent times.
Rock felt very guilty, so his body was really drained during this period.
