Indians have different standards for asking people for help than Chinese people. For most Chinese, asking for help means causing trouble to others. Helping is a matter of affection, not helping is a duty. If someone refuses in person, it will be a shame.
It should be done in moderation.
Indians are obviously not like this. They always think that it is natural to seek help from others. If something is too difficult for them and it is difficult to do it under normal circumstances, then the solution for Indians is to ask others for help. This person does not
It doesn't matter if you are willing to help, just find another one.
Anyway, Indians will not take the initiative to find ways to solve problems.
Although Gandhi was a "Mahatma", he still could not escape this category. The Boers were unwilling to improve the social status of Indians, so Gandhi pinned his hopes on the Transvaal. Philip was unwilling to meet Gandhi, so Gandhi hoped to get Rock.
recommendation.
In any case, Gandhi would not look for problems from Indians. In Gandhi's view, the root cause of all problems is that Indians do not have a normal social status. Otherwise, Indians can live and work in southern Africa like the Chinese.
This is actually just deceiving yourself.
So what Rock said next was very straightforward: "If you want the Orange government or the Transvaal government to give Indians the same social status as the Chinese, then the Indians must first prove that they are worthy of the Orange government."
The government or the Transvaal government does this for them, what do you think is the advantage of the Indians?"
"Lord, it's not that the Indians have no advantages, it's because there's simply no room for them to show off. In Orange, even if we work hard, we can't get the same salary as the Boers, even if we pay higher
Bloemfontein will not sell its farm to us Indians at any price, so all the Indians need is an opportunity." Gandhi still had eloquence, but it was a pity that his starting point was wrong.
Rock just smiled and said nothing. Many farmers in the Transvaal were Chinese. If Rock took Gandhi to see Philip and facilitated the introduction of Indians into the Transvaal, it would be equivalent to letting Indians and Chinese compete for living space.
Rock didn't know where Gandhi got his confidence and thought Rock would help him in such a matter.
Rock and the Chinese in the Transvaal worked so diligently to build the Transvaal to its present state, and they did not let the Indians pick the fruits.
"Lord" Gandhi still wanted to win.
However, Roque lost his patience and raised his hand to interrupt: "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't help with this issue."
After Rock finished speaking, he motioned to Zach to see him off. Gandhi still wanted to fight for it. Zach grinned, and Gandhi was immediately startled.
The ruthless Lord Nyasaland at the center of the legend
He is indeed ruthless!
In the evening, Rock had dinner with Philip as usual. Gavin, who is just over two years old, can now eat by himself, but he is not used to the spoon yet. He often throws the spoon aside and eats directly with his hands.
Phyllis didn't care at all and didn't let the maid feed Gavin. Even though Gavin's face was full of rice grains, Phyllis insisted on letting Gavin eat by himself.
Rock did not think that Phyllis was abusing Gavin. Phyllis was also trying to cultivate Gavin's ability to take care of himself, so she was strict with Gavin.
After all, Gavin is the first heir to the Baron of Nyasaland, so Phyllis will never be coddled with Gavin, but will be stricter so that Gavin can truly lead Nyasaland forward in the future.
On the contrary, Philip was quite critical of Phyllis's actions, but Phyllis would never compromise on this issue, so Philip finished the meal as quickly as possible and then went to the study with Roque to drink tea and smoke, blind to the heart.
Not annoying.
"The negotiations were not going well. Neither Cape nor Orange were willing to give up their capital status. Dr. Starr Jameson wanted the federal government to put the capital in Cape Town, and Mr. Louis Botha wanted the capital to be Burundi.
Fontaine, Viscount Harewood and I both hope to put the capital in Pretoria. It has been a whole week and the issue of the capital has not been decided yet. Everything is terrible. Tomorrow I decided to let Owen go to the meeting instead of me.
, even if we have to quarrel, Owen has more physical strength than me." Philip was also exhausted mentally and physically.
Philip knew from the beginning that if a federal government was established in Southern Africa, there would definitely be many issues that would have to be coordinated and resolved.
However, Philip did not expect that solving the problem would be so troublesome. In the past, Philip was quite enthusiastic about establishing a federal government. Now it seems that establishing a federal government in the future may not necessarily be a good thing. If everything is so internally wrangling, it will not be as efficient as it is.
Each one does his or her own thing.
"Normally, everyone wants to strive for more say in the future federal government." Roque can understand, but Roque cannot accept it.
Internal strife has always been a situation that Roque tried his best to avoid, so in Nyasaland and the newly established 1st Cavalry Division, Roque never practiced democracy and made decisions by himself.
Of course, doing this will cause some problems, but compared to internal friction, Rock would rather let his subordinates become dependent on Rock.
At the very least, Nyasaland officials and the officers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division can still do their jobs under such circumstances. It is better than arguing all day long without making any progress in their work.
However, the same situation is not suitable for the federal government. Whether it is the four major colonies, Nyasaland, or Rhodesia, they all have their own interests and want to gain more say for themselves, so now this kind of
Rock was also mentally prepared for the situation.
"The most ridiculous thing is that there are people from Basutoland and Swaziland in Pretoria. The Swazilanders actually hope that Swaziland can regain its independent status. It is really ridiculous. When they faced the Boer
Threatened, Swaziland had to ask London for protection. Now that the Boer country no longer exists, Swaziland wants to break away from the federal government. I really don’t know what they are thinking." Philip said there were so many things.
Very well, if he continues to perform, he might be able to vomit until tomorrow morning.
Swaziland is also a very strange country. At the end of the last century, Swaziland faced the threat of the Transvaal Republic, so it sought help from the British government and hoped to become a protectorate of the British Empire.
Later, under the coordination of the British government, Swaziland and the Republic of Transvaal signed the Treaty of Verenigin, and the Republic of Transvaal recognized Swaziland's independence.
At this time, Swaziland no longer faced the threat of being annexed, so it wanted to go back on its word and no longer become a British protectorate.
As a result, London did not give Swaziland any chance and unilaterally declared Swaziland to be a British protectorate, brought all the Swazi royal family to live in the British mainland, and Swaziland became a British colony.
Now the four colonies in southern Africa are working hard to establish the Southern African Federation. Perhaps the Swazis feel that an opportunity has come again, so they are jumping back to the old matter.
It's a pity that people like Philip and Ade are not philanthropists, so it may be very difficult for Swaziland to become independent.
Rock even eats people without spitting out their bones. The area of Swaziland at this time is larger than Swaziland in the 21st century. The mining areas along the coast of Swaziland have not yet been discovered. Rock will definitely not let go.
Get over this piece of fat.
"Mr. Amelia from the Bechuanaland Protectorate came to me in Johannesburg some time ago and hoped that I could lend a helping hand to the Bechuanaland Protectorate and maintain the stability of the Bechuanaland Protectorate." Roque explained selectively to avoid being confused.
Philip was caught off guard.
Philip said "Oh" meaningfully. Similar to the situation in Basutoland and Swaziland, the Bechuanaland Protectorate was not qualified to send people to participate in this meeting to decide their future and fate.
"I have learned about the situation of the Bechuanaland Protected Area during this period. In fact, the Bechuanaland Protected Area is quite good. First of all, the area is large enough, and secondly, the population is really small. If it is managed well, it has a bright future." Luo
Croton had decided to form a new regiment in the Northern Rhodesian Division and then send this regiment to the Bechuanaland Protectorate.
In fact, there are risks in accepting the Bechuanaland Protectorate. Twenty-first-century United Nations statistics show that in African countries such as the Bechuanaland Protectorate and Swaziland, the HIV infection rate is very high, and the average life expectancy is around 35 years old.
If the African Federation wants to accept the Bechuanaland Protectorate and Swaziland, it must be more vigilant in terms of health.
This is what Nyasaland is doing now. All new Chinese immigrants arriving in Nyasaland will receive a brief introduction to southern Africa, in which Africans are classified as "extremely dangerous", let alone forming a family.
Nyasaland officials do not approve of even the scheduled contacts.
If under such circumstances, there are still Chinese people who are willing to contact Africans, then there is really nothing Roque can do.
They were all full and full.
"What do you want to do, replace the Bechuanaland people with Chinese people?" Philip saw through Roque's sinister intentions at a glance.
There was not even the slightest embarrassment on Rock's face, and it was natural: "Most of the country in Bechuanaland has high plateau terrain, and the west and southwest are deserts. The average annual precipitation is very little. The east and north are still very good, with abundant precipitation.
The water and grass are lush and very suitable for raising cattle. A lot of beef in the Transvaal comes from the Bechuanaland Protectorate. It is a pity that such good conditions have been wasted by the Bechuanaan people. The cattle in the entire Bechuanaland Protectorate now
There are less than one million, and there are not as many elephants as there are in the Bechuanaland Protected Area. If the Bechuanaan people in Bechuanaland are replaced by Chinese, guess what will happen next?"
Philip was speechless for a moment.
On this issue, Philip also had to admit that the Chinese did have obvious advantages. In the entire southern Africa, the Chinese were perhaps the most hardworking, capable, and intelligent people. Philip often went to the grassroots in Pretoria to understand the situation.
, knowing the current development of Chinese farms, compared with Africans, Boers, or the British, the Chinese have obvious advantages.
