In the previous battles, the ANZAC suffered the heaviest casualties, accounting for almost 60%. In the ANZAC Bay alone, 15,000 ANZAC officers and soldiers shed blood on the battlefield.
After the Battle of the Dardanelles, the lightly wounded have been transferred to Cyprus, where conditions are better, for recuperation. The seriously wounded have been sent back to their hometowns. Many of the seriously wounded have chosen to go to southern Africa. They may not be immigrants, but they may just want to see something.
Watch and learn more about southern Africa.
Rock believed that as long as they arrived in southern Africa, they might change their minds. After the outbreak of the world war, more and more people voluntarily immigrated to southern Africa. Farm prices in almost all states in southern Africa have increased significantly. No one cared about it before.
Natal has also become popular. Tanganyika, which was just occupied after the outbreak of the world war, is the most popular. However, new immigrants are not eligible to buy farms in Tanganyika. The war is not over yet.
The farms have been divided up, and the Nyasaland Company and the South African Company are once again the big winners, with the two companies owning more than 10 million hectares of land.
In Dar es Salaam, which has been renamed "Saint George", immigrant ships arrive almost every day. New immigrants have to be quarantined on Zanzibar Island for 14 days before they are allowed to disembark. In 1914, Southern Africa had a
The standards required are getting higher and higher, and the risk of infectious diseases continues to decrease. Last year, plague broke out in the Republic of Congo and the Kingdom of Congo during the rainy season. Nyasaland and Rhodesia, which are closest to the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo, were not affected, thanks to this.
According to the strict requirements of the Ministry of Health.
When the federal government was established, the Ministry of Health was already established, even earlier than the Ministry of Defense. Under the strong propaganda of governments at all levels, it has become people's consensus not to drink raw water, wash hands frequently, bathe frequently, and change clothes frequently.
No one likes sloppy men, and they can’t even find a partner. The beards that are common among European men are becoming less and less common in southern Africa. White faces and beards have gradually become the beauty standard in southern Africa.
The "white" here is not the kind of white that is almost pathological for white people. In fact, there was no concept of "yellow race" at first. Western books before the Qing Dynasty always used "white" to describe the Chinese when referring to the Chinese. By the Qing Dynasty,
After generations, "yellow" gradually became the color of Chinese people's skin.
The main reason is economic. If the economy of the Qing Dynasty remains the same as that of previous dynasties, accounting for more than half of the world's economic scale, then even if the Chinese are yellow, "yellow" will be the world's mainstream aesthetic standard.
Southern Africa does not practice "honorary whiteness", so why is it considered honorary to be associated with whiteness? There is no racial distinction in southern Africa, let alone ethnicity. "African" is what all southern Africans call themselves.
Of course, this does not include Africans.
As time enters August, a group of special guests arrive on the island of Cyprus. They are Chinese workers from the Far East.
Chinese workers were a special group during the World War. The work they engaged in was very complex. Whether it was industrial production or logistical support, Chinese workers were present. Some Chinese workers even participated deeply in the war. However, because the Chinese group was so important around the world
They are not taken seriously, so no one pays attention to the contributions of Chinese workers.
In fact, when the British and French coalition forces were at their most critical last year, there were calls for the recruitment of Chinese laborers to join the war. The Chinese in the Southern African Expeditionary Force had proven with their performance that they were no worse than whites, or even better, so together with
The overall status of the Chinese in Europe is slowly improving. At least in France, no one dares to use the derogatory term "yellow pig". However, many French people imitate monkey calls to African soldiers, throw bananas to African soldiers, and hire African soldiers.
Man picks cotton.
When it comes to discrimination, Europeans are really gifted by race and are full of tricks.
The Chinese workers who came to Cyprus were not discriminated against. Although many of them still had braids, no one dared to discriminate against them. They were different from Indian, Persian, and African workers from other regions. Their work intensity was low, but their skills were high.
A slightly higher job will certainly earn more money.
"Recruiting Chinese laborers to form troops to join the war, this, this is not good -" Ian Hamilton questioned Rock's decision for the first time. These Chinese laborers came to Europe as workers and were not a suitable source of troops. They were not in line with the British and French coalition forces.
requirements.
"Why is it bad? They are all young people between the ages of 18 and 25. Before coming to Europe, they underwent at least half a year of physical conditioning in the Far East. With a little training, they are qualified soldiers. How outstanding are the Chinese soldiers in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force?
It is obvious to all that they do not lack fighting enthusiasm and possess superb combat skills. If you give them a rifle, they will at least do better than the Italians. You must know that 350,000 workers will come to Europe one after another, and they will all meet the requirements of the appropriate age.
We can mobilize tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops to join the war, which will make them more valuable." Roque has bad intentions. 350,000 young adults represent a population of more than one million. If these labor wars
Instead of returning to the Far East, they will immigrate to southern Africa. The strength of the Chinese in southern Africa will further increase.
Southern Africa has been actively immigrating in recent years, and the Far East is the most important source of immigrants. Southern Africa has been focusing on promoting Southern Africa among the Chinese. More and more Chinese know about Southern Africa. Rock believes that as long as Southern Africa shows sincerity
, not to mention that all of the 350,000 Chinese workers have immigrated to southern Africa, it is still possible to remove half of them.
In another time and space, about 140,000 Chinese workers came to France. Most of them returned to the Far East after the war, and many stayed in France to settle. It is said that there were more than 5,000 transnational marriages at that time.
The number of Chinese workers who came to France during this time and space was even greater, not just Chinese workers. The British and French allied forces made full use of every force. All the British overseas dominions had sent combat troops to France. The number of workers sent to France from the French East Indies was as high as
660,000, and the total number of troops and laborers sent by India to Europe is 2 million.
"Their physical conditions meet the requirements, but we have a contract with their government and cannot use them in front-line operations." Ian Hamilton still has concerns.
This routine sounds familiar, as it is the same situation for many Africans working in southern Africa.
"The contract is not important. If there are workers who are willing to join the army, they must have voluntarily given up the contract. This has nothing to do with the agreement." Roque does not care about the contract. The workers' wages are settled through the government, and they will definitely be exploited at all levels when they are given to the workers.
Compared with workers, soldiers' salaries are higher, they are paid directly to individuals without going through layers of extraction, and they also have better benefits. These are temptations that workers cannot refuse.
Now it seems that the contract is still somewhat binding, but as the war progresses, the binding force of the contract is gradually reduced.
Taking the workers in French East Indies as an example, the French government initially promised not to recruit workers to join the army.
As a result, after the East Indian workers came to France, they had to work 11 hours a day in the factory and could only take one day off every month. The heavy work made the workers exhausted. In order to get rid of the factory environment, many East Indian workers voluntarily joined the army. About
Three percent of East Indians died during the war.
Ian Hamilton's opposition could not change Roque's decision. From the first day he set foot in Cyprus, the fate of these workers was changed.
The workers are indeed new to everything in Cyprus.
Although prices were soaring throughout Europe during the World War, in Cyprus, supplies were still relatively abundant, and workers' dietary standards were pretty good. Potatoes were the basics. Every meal for workers also included bread, fruit and meat. These meats
It doesn’t have to be beef, it could be chicken, pork or other meat. No matter what kind of meat, it is incredible to the workers.
The Chinese in the East are in an unprecedented difficult moment. Overthrowing the Qing government did not make their lives better. On the contrary, because of the warlords' melee, the people were in dire straits. The civilians did not even have enough to eat, let alone meat. Last year, a serious famine occurred in the Far East.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the region died of hunger and disease. Changing one's children to eat is not a literary exaggeration, but an ongoing tragedy. The extent of the tragedy is difficult to describe in words.
On the first night when the Chinese workers came to Cyprus, the staple food for dinner was unlimited beef stew with potatoes. The fruits after the meal were an apple and two bananas. If anyone was willing to shave off his braids, he would be rewarded with a new suit of clothes.
The texture of the clothes is not very good, most common denim or canvas, but the workmanship is pretty good, and it is durable and very popular in southern Africa.
As for whether it's boring or not?
Sorry, this is a question that can only be considered if you have a choice.
Among the first batch of 6,000 workers arriving in Cyprus, nearly 4,000 chose to cut off their braids that night. The remaining workers also made the same choice in the following days. They were arranged to work at the port and Nicoya.
Construction workers built hospitals and barracks for the wounded soldiers of the expeditionary force. The high standard of housing required by the expeditionary force also surprised the Chinese workers.
Many Chinese workers do not even have a house that truly belongs to them in their hometown. Even if they do, they are thatched houses with adobe walls and thatched roofs. After Roark placed the headquarters of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Cyprus, Nico
The old city of Nia has been completely bulldozed, and the newly built houses are the most popular wooden houses in southern Africa in the past few years. The main structures of these houses are made of wood, and fire prevention is a big problem. Therefore, in southern Africa, more and more
The wooden houses have been replaced by permanent buildings with masonry structures, but in Cyprus, various wooden houses with simple structures, unique shapes and bright colors have become the best choice.
Don't worry about how many years these wooden houses will last, just occupy the space first.
