The most fearful thing in official circles is to be on the wrong team. It doesn't really matter whether your personal ability is great or not. The most fatal thing is to be on the wrong team with the wrong person. If Isaiah Queller didn't say the right thing just now, don't talk about the future.
The status of the Southern African Federation may not be able to gain a foothold in Southern Africa in the future.
Of course, looking back, Isaiah Queller also had complaints about Rock.
The pit dug by Rock was really too deep. Although Isaiah Cueller did not fall in, thinking about the consequences of falling in, Isaiah Cueller couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
"Congratulations to Isaiah, you have now officially become a member of the Southern Africa Freedom Party. I hope we can cooperate sincerely in the days to come to bring Southern Africa to a higher level." Of course Roque was also full of joy at this time.
With Tal's help, the Transvaal will certainly gain the greatest say in the future Southern African Federation.
As for Isaiah Qualler's emotions, that really doesn't matter. This is an inspection of Isaiah Qualler, and some people don't even have the opportunity to do such an inspection.
With the addition of Ade and Philip, the atmosphere in the small living room immediately became lively.
Ad also knew that Isaiah Queller might have a grudge against Rock, so his first words after sitting down were to excuse Rock.
"Don't mind Isaiah, Locke recommended you to me a few days ago, hoping that you can serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Southern African Federation. Please forgive me for my indifference. After all, I didn't know much about you before, but it doesn't matter.
We will have many opportunities to get to know each other slowly in the future, at least our starting point is the same." Ade's expression was sincere, and Isaiah Queller was frightened.
"Lord, this is my fault. I should have come to visit you in the Transvaal a long time ago, but you also know that the situation in Natal is very serious and has not returned to normal now." Isaiah Queller pointed out.
It was the rebellion that took place in Natal four years ago.
So the topic naturally shifted to Africans.
Philip has the most resolute attitude in this regard: "We used to believe that the construction of Africa is inseparable from African labor. Now it seems that we may be wrong. Johannesburg, Pretoria, Nyasaland, and even the future Bayan
In the protected areas, we did not rely on Africans. Chinese immigrants effectively made up for the shortage of labor in southern Africa, so we can definitely use Chinese to make up for the shortage of labor."
Philip's attitude was a bit radical, but it was in line with Roark's wishes, so Roark also added fuel to the fire.
"The Qing Dynasty had almost unlimited labor resources. When the Chinese first came to southern Africa, many people still had doubts about the Chinese. Now it is clear to everyone that the Chinese may be the most easily satisfied nation in the world. We only need to provide
If they have a space that allows them to perform reasonably, they can give us countless miracles." Roque certainly spared no effort in this regard.
Ade didn't speak, but he nodded frequently and smiled, indicating that he definitely agreed with Roque's words.
Philip's expression is a little more serious, but this is definitely not an objection. Philip's position is completely consistent with Roque. They are both members of the Matilda family. Philip and Roque share the same honor and disgrace.
Isaiah Queller looked a little disappointed. Among the four colonies in southern Africa, the Chinese first landed in the Cape, then took root in the Transvaal, and finally developed in Nyasaland. From the beginning to the end, there was no inclusion of Chinese people.
What happened to Tal?
Sometimes Isaiah Queller couldn't help but imagine that if Chinese immigrated to Natal on a large scale, Natal would be as prosperous as Transvaal and Nyasaland.
Let’s not talk about Cape. Although Cape is the first stop for Chinese in southern Africa, with the transfer of Rock to Transvaal, the number of Chinese in Cape has not continued to increase. Now most Chinese in Cape live
There are not many people around Ziwei Town, and the achievements of the Chinese in Cape are far less than those in Transvaal and Nyasaland.
"Locke, if we liberalize immigration to Chinese, will southern Africa be able to get enough labor in a short period of time?" Ade still has doubts about this issue.
Of course, Rock also wanted to immigrate as much as possible, but unfortunately the actual conditions did not allow it: "I'm sorry, Lord, the Qing Dynasty now imposes restrictions on immigration. I'm afraid we won't be able to get enough labor in a short time."
Luo Ke also tried every means to immigrate. In the past, Luo Ke immigrants were mainly concentrated in the north of the Qing Dynasty, but now immigrants have quietly developed to the south and inland.
Unfortunately, even so, the situation is not objective. The Qing government has noticed this situation and is imposing restrictions on immigration. The development of immigration companies in the Qing country has been greatly hindered. Sometimes Roque even wanted to launch a war to force the Qing government to open up.
Immigration market.
This was also a common behavior in the colonial era. If demands were not met, strong ships and cannons were used to open up the market.
Of course, Rock is not so mad as to be mad. If Rock launches a war against the Qing Dynasty, no matter what the outcome, the Chinese people in the Qing Dynasty will suffer the most, so Rock will never resort to such extreme measures at any time.
"That's really a pity -" Ade sighed sadly. From the previous resistance to Chinese immigrants to the current openness to Chinese immigrants, Ade's focus is no longer on race, but on the future of southern Africa.
.
But this doesn’t matter much. Although Southern Africa is still a long way from being a truly developed country, within Africa, Southern Africa’s prospects are still very bright. In Africa, whether it is a German colony or a French colony, neither
It will pose a threat to southern Africa, and being far away from the center of the world also means that southern Africa will not be involved in European disputes, so the federal government can spend more energy on economic development.
The situation in Southern Africa is actually very similar to that of the United States. It lacks competitors in the region, is rich in resources, and has a relatively reasonable population structure. As long as the federal government does not deliberately seek death, Southern Africa does have a bright future.
The question is whether the future southern African federal government can seize the opportunity between World War I and World War II.
If it can, then southern Africa may not have a chance to become another United States.
If Southern Africa goes the same way again in time and space, then Rock will break away from the Federation of Southern Africa and become an independent country.
It would be best to bring Rhodesia and the Transvaal together.
It was precisely because Ade saw the future of southern Africa that he returned to southern Africa.
Without the constraints of London, Adelaide is now taking drastic measures, and his mental state is completely different from before.
In the past, Adelaide had to consider the Commonwealth as a whole when dealing with problems, and sometimes he even had to give up the interests of southern Africa.
Now Adelaide no longer has to think about the entire Commonwealth, he only focuses on southern Africa.
"But it doesn't matter. Compared with neighboring Southwest Africa, Tanganyika, West Africa, and the Congo Free State, our southern Africa still has great advantages. As long as we work together, southern Africa will definitely become the second Europe.
"Adelaide is full of confidence. Europe is now on the brink of war, and many people are fleeing Europe. Unfortunately, most people's first choice is not southern Africa, but the United States.
Since the Franco-Prussian War, Europe has gradually formed two major groups. The Entente Powers, led by Britain, and the Central Powers, led by emerging Germany, are engaged in an arms race. If a war breaks out in Europe again, the war will definitely not be limited to one or two countries. It will definitely not be limited to one or two countries.
Most European countries will be involved.
Once an arms race begins, it is bound to end in war.
Many people know this, but they cannot change the reality and can only watch Europe slip into the abyss of war.
In fact, there is currently an arms race trend in the North Sea, between Nyasaland and Tanganyika.
After Birov visited Nyasaland, the tension between the Nyasaland Marine Police and the Tanganyika Marine Police in the North Sea eased, and the Germans finally dared to sail the Weissmann out of Usombra.
After the Nyasaland Marine Police's North Sea was put into service, Tanganyika was under great pressure. Under the premise that the Graf Gotzen could not be repaired, Tanganyika still obtained some assistance from Germany and established it in Usombula.
We have established a shipyard and are preparing to build new marine police ships to compete with the Nyasaland Marine Police.
It's just that the German power in Africa is really not worth mentioning. The Tanganyika Marine Police's shipbuilding plan is only two 300-ton marine police ships. Even if they are completed, it will not change the relationship between the Tanganyika Marine Police and Nepal at all.
The North Sea confrontation between Asalan Marine Police is even less likely to change the balance of power between Nyasaland and Tanganyika in the North Sea.
"The main issue at present is the choice of capital. Yesterday Earl Selborne made an opinion. In this situation, it is best to establish three capitals with different functions. Pretoria, as the center of southern Africa, can
As the administrative capital of the federal government, Cape Town has a complete judicial system and can be used as the judicial capital of the federal government. In order to take into account the requirements of the Boers, the legislative capital can be placed in Bloemfontein, although this is not the best choice.
, but under the current circumstances, this is almost the only option -" Ad seems to be more inclined to Earl Selborne's proposal.
There is nothing that can be done about it. At present, except for Natal, which is relatively weak, all parties are at a stalemate, arguing endlessly for their own interests, and no one is willing to give in.
If we continue talking like this, the establishment of the federal government will be far away.
If the establishment of the federal government is postponed, then the time for Earl Selborne to return to the Admiralty will also be postponed. Therefore, Earl Selborne is the most free and easy, regardless of whether this opinion will cause trouble for the future federal government.
