The Tanganyika people who entered Nyasaland were temporarily resettled near Xuanwu City. By early April, there were nearly 100,000 Tanganyika people in the Xuanwu City area. In addition to the family members of the Glory Castle troops, these people
Most of them entered Nyasaland through illegal means.
The families of the Fort Glory troops are better off. Xuanwu City will provide them with basic living supplies and ensure their food and clothing. They will only stay in Nyasaland for a while, waiting for Tanganyika to stabilize.
Return to Tanganyika.
Those Tanganyika people who enter Nyasaland illegally do not have a basic living guarantee, and Nyasaland will not provide them with free living supplies. Even if they stay in Nyasaland, it will not be a good thing for the safety of Nyasaland.
It is also a hidden danger.
"Most of the Tanganyika people who enter Nyasaland illegally are adult males. If these people are idle for a long time, they will definitely affect the security around Xuanwu City, so we have to find a way to keep them busy so that they
We won’t make trouble out of nothing.” When Anton reported to Rock, he expressed his concerns about the Tanganyika people.
"Send it to the mine for mining -" Rock has always treated this kind of thing simply and rudely. Compared with Tanganyika, Nyasaland is indeed a paradise, but only Nyasaland people can enjoy Nyasaland.
In life, those Tanganyika people who illegally entered Nyasaland, although their feelings are pitiable, their hearts are punishable.
What Roque hates most is this kind of so-called refugee. When his homeland is invaded, he does not rise up to resist and protect his homeland. Instead, he actively flees his homeland and abandons the land that raised him. This kind of behavior is really not worth promoting, Nyasa
Lan has always taught the Nyasaland people not to give up their homeland under any circumstances. Even if the invaders are far more powerful than Nyasaland, the Nyasaland people will fight to the end.
From Rock's perspective, there are good reasons not to accept the Tanganyika people.
When facing the threat from the German army, these Tanganyika people took the initiative to flee Tanganyika and took refuge in Nyasaland. If Nyasaland faces a serious threat in the future, these Tanganyika people will also flee Nyasaland.
, fled to other countries.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Rock. It is not that there are no resistance forces in Tanganyika. The momentum of the Glory Castle troops is getting stronger and stronger. However, these Tanganyika people have not joined the Glory Castle troops to defend their homeland. So Luo Ke
Can we expect that when a war breaks out in Nyasaland in the future, these Tanganyika people will fight bloody for Nyasaland?
It's impossible. It would be great if these people don't take the opportunity to cause trouble.
"Okay -" Anton has no psychological barriers to this solution. Even if the mines in Nyasaland cannot use up so many miners, it doesn't matter. They can also sell them to the Johannesburg Mining Alliance. I believe Xiaosi must be very good.
Happy to receive.
As for the women and children of the Tanganyika people, Anton did not mention them at all.
There is no need to wait for Roque's instructions on this issue. Anton will place them in Xuanwu City with the family members of the Glory Castle troops. After Tanganyika is stabilized, Nyasaland will send all these people back.
Tanganyika.
As for whether this will cause the tragedy of family division, this issue is not within the scope of Roque and Anton's consideration. They would rather be peace dogs than people in troubled times. It is already very difficult to survive these days.
The issue Roque wants to consider is the military construction and police system in southern Africa.
It all comes down to fate. Both the Department of Defense and the Ministry of Justice, where Roque served, were notoriously lazy. Hopkins was pushed to the front by Roque and had to delegate power to Roque and Henry.
He is already accustomed to leaving specific matters to Roque, and he is happy to let go.
Therefore, Roque now not only has to consider the military construction in southern Africa, but also improves the police system. Roque handles the specific affairs of both departments.
During this time, the candidates for the commanders of the Third and Fourth Divisions were finally determined. The commander of the Third Division stationed in Cape is Paul Strachey, the former commander of the Third Cape Colonial Division. The commander of the Third Division stationed in Natal is
The fourth division was commanded by Robert Bernal, the former chief of staff of the Second Division of the Cape Colony.
Both of these candidates were recommended by Ade. Ade had served as the governor of the Cape Colony before and had a fairly good understanding of the Cape's military system.
These two divisions were reorganized on the basis of the previous colonial troops and used the previous equipment. They did not spend much money. Rock used all the assistance given by the British government to strengthen the 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesia Division.
superior.
The 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesian Division are now fully equipped. The total strength of the two divisions is about 36,000. However, the locations of these two divisions are somewhat scattered, which is not conducive to the rapid assembly of troops.
, so what Rock mainly solved during this period was this problem.
The solution to this problem is actually very simple, that is, to strengthen the police system and establish an armed police force within the police system, which is mainly used to maintain public security and stability in the local area. The main force is concentrated in inland areas.
This has many advantages. Once a war breaks out, the main forces can quickly assemble and head to the front line, and they will not be immediately saturated by the enemy because they are stationed near the border.
Specific to southern Africa, in Rock's vision, it is best for the 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesian Division to be stationed in the Transvaal, because the Transvaal has the most convenient transportation in southern Africa.
Whichever state in southern Africa needs military support, the troops can arrive quickly.
Only taking into account the economic development of the Transvaal, Rock had to settle for the next best thing and choose to locate the 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesian Division in Rhodesia.
Relatively speaking, the most likely place for a war to break out in southern Africa is Nyasaland. Rhodesia borders Nyasaland. If a war breaks out in Nyasaland, troops can quickly arrive by train within one day.
More convenient than being stationed in the Transvaal.
And another key issue is that compared to several states in northern southern Africa, Rhodesia's economy is the least developed and there is a lot of undeveloped land in the territory, so Rock's contact with Stoudemire during this period was somewhat
frequently.
If the troops want to be stationed in Rhodesia, they must get Xiaosi's consent.
Stoudemire's request is also very simple. The troops can be stationed in Rhodesia, and Rhodesia can even pay for all the expenses for the troops, including the station. However, Stoudemire requires that the troops be stationed in Rhodesia, and all the materials needed must be obtained from
Rhodesian procurement, this request made Rock feel a little bit overwhelmed.
In the past, the weapons and ammunition required by the 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesian Division were purchased from the Nyasaland Arsenal, and other daily necessities were purchased from Johannesburg. Only various canned foods were purchased from Rhodesia.
, and because of the resistance of the officers and soldiers to canned food, the purchase volume is now getting smaller and smaller.
In terms of weapons and ammunition, Stoudemire will definitely not interfere. What Stoudemire wants is other logistical supplies besides weapons and ammunition. If Rock agrees to Stoudemire's request, it will affect Johannesburg's interests.
Like Nyasaland, Johannesburg is also Rock's base camp, so Rock cannot agree to such a request.
"You can also purchase from Rhodesia, but the manufacturer must be from Johannesburg. You also know who provided the logistics materials in the past. For the specific purchase price, you go to Ada." Rock doesn't care how Stoudemire and Ada distribute it.
In terms of profit, it doesn't matter even if the price is higher. Anyway, the cost of maintaining the army is now paid by the federal government and London.
"Hmph, I don't know about you yet. The clothing of the new First Division and the Northern Rhodesian Division are all purchased from the Johannesburg Textile Factory. The real owner of the textile factory is Phyllis. There are also textiles in Rhodesia now.
factory, and the price is lower than that of the Johannesburg textile factory, why can't the order be transferred to the Rhodesia textile factory?" Stoudemire's request was a bit tricky.
The actual situation is that the textile factories in Rhodesia have just been established, and they are incomparable to the Johannesburg textile factories in terms of scale and technical level.
After a new round of technological transformation, the Johannesburg Textile Mill now produces fabrics that can compete with fabrics produced by European textile mills. With the low prices of the Johannesburg Textile Mill, the fabrics sold in the European market are still very good.
The Rhodesian Textile Factory obviously does not have this capability. Stoudemire is now developing Rhodesia and fully draws on Rock's experience in developing Johannesburg and Nyasaland. It is basically how to do it in Johannesburg and Nyasaland. Stoudemire is doing it in Rhodesia.
Desia copied it, but the conditions in Rhodesia were insufficient, and Stoudemire did not pay as much attention to talent introduction as Roque. Most of the workers in Rhodesia's factories are Africans, so the price of the products is indeed low, but the quality of the products has always been
If it cannot be promoted, it will not be competitive in Europe at all.
"That's too much. You're even trying to steal Felice's business." Roque looked down upon Stoudemire's bottomless behavior. Roque also did not set up food processing plants in Johannesburg and Nyasaland, turning the food processing industry into a new one.
The profits are all left to Xiaosi, and Xiaosi should be very satisfied.
It can only be said that capitalists are still too greedy at heart.
"Help, you also know that even if the Johannesburg Textile Factory loses this part of the order, it can still sell its products to Europe. The products of the Rhodesia Textile Factory are not interested in Europe at all. You can't just watch my investment go away.
I guarantee that this is the first time and the last time that I will lose all my money." Xiao Si is begging for nothing. As long as he doesn't lose money, even if his posture is lower, it's fine.
"It's easy if you don't want to lose money. How much did it cost to invest in the textile factory? I asked Felice to buy it at the original price." Roque found another way. It's easy to not lose money.
"Original price! What a great idea!" Xiao Si flatly refused.
Then I saw Phyllis glaring at Xiao Si at the door with an unkind look on her face.
