Don't underestimate the influence of environment on people. If Wolfe lived in an African tribe, he might knock the girl he likes unconscious with a stick and fight her away. He would definitely not take care of the girl's mood, and even be presumptuous and abrupt.
Don't do it.
Let’s not talk about other places in Nyasaland. In the big cities in Nyasaland, such as Luo City, Xuanji City, Port Edward City, Xuanwu City, and Ulysses, those who are qualified to stay are the elites. If you stay in such an environment, you will
You have no right to slack off. If you relax even a little bit, you will be abandoned by the entire city.
Otto still doesn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. Professor Heslin is a man who becomes better with age.
"Yes Otto, don't make a decision in a hurry. Every decision you make now will affect your entire life in the future. If your father and mother were still alive, they would definitely not want to see you being so hasty.
." Professor Heslin mentioned the Melks, and Otto finally fell silent.
Then continue walking forward. The train enters the state of Bechuanaland, which is obviously more prosperous and more developed than Dias. In Dias, the train sometimes runs for several hours without seeing any human beings.
There are traces of civilization. There are obviously more farms on both sides of the railway in Bechuanaland. Sometimes you can see tractors working in the fields. There are even young people riding motorcycles and chasing the train at high speed with their beloved girls. The naughty children usually
You will soon be scolded by the conductor. There are quite a few accidents caused by this behavior every year.
After entering Bechuanaland, trains stop at the station more and more frequently. There are only two railway stations in the whole Dias, Walvis Bay and Windhoek. There is one railway station dozens of kilometers away in Bechuanaland.
Every time I stop at a station, the platform is always very lively, with vendors selling snacks and specialties, passengers taking the time to take a short break on the platform, middle-aged people in a hurry with large bags and small bags, reluctant relatives, and couples reunited after a long absence.
, of course there are also military and police officers who can be seen everywhere.
"This city is called Anxi. Its name comes from a military town that was a thousand years ago. Ten years ago, this was a desert. Later, Chinese people gradually began to migrate here. Now it has formed a city of about 20,000 people. Many of them are
Military families, this used to be the residence of the First Cavalry Division." Li Tai keenly noticed that when he mentioned "The First Cavalry Division", both Erwin and Otto looked a little embarrassed.
"We were captured by the First Cavalry Division——" Erwin grinned, expressing his inner fear with an exaggerated expression.
"You are wrong, it is the 2nd Cavalry Division." Otto corrected, the 1st Cavalry Division did not appear on the Western Front battlefield and had been fighting in the Balkans.
"Anxi——" Professor Heslin didn't pay attention to the dispute between Erwin and Otto, and subconsciously repeated this strange-sounding name.
Li Tai didn't have time to explain. At this time, the police boarded the car to check again. Even though Li Tai showed a letter of introduction from Nyasaland University, the police still registered the names of Professor Heslin's family. When they came to southern Africa, they came to southern Africa.
Africa's purpose, and destination.
Professor Heslin's family was very cooperative. Hugo noticed that when Professor Heslin introduced himself as a professor at the University of Munich, the police officer in charge of registration subconsciously stood at attention.
"This police officer is probably German——" Hugo and Erwin whispered.
"It's German——" The police officer had good hearing, so he corrected him and said hello in German at the same time.
"Where are you from?" Professor Heslin wondered.
"Bavaria--" The police officer didn't want to explain any more, so he quickly registered and left, wishing Professor Heslin and his party a pleasant journey.
After the police officer got out of the car, Li Tai was worried: "Damn American flu, I don't know how many people will die this time."
Great American Flu!
Professor Heslin's hands and feet suddenly felt cold. The American flu ravaged Europe at the beginning of the year, killing millions of people. In the summer, the American flu disappeared inexplicably, and now it is coming back again. Think about the tragic situation in Germany when the American flu was raging. Professor Heslin's hands
They are all trembling.
"Don't worry about Professor Heslin. In our southern Africa, the impact of the American influenza pandemic is not serious. At the beginning of the year, there was a pandemic in the United States. Less than 10,000 people died in our southern Africa. This time, the American influenza outbreak has just begun.
You see, the police here have already started to take action." Li Tai could only be thankful that Professor Heslin arrived earlier. It is now estimated that immigrants arriving at Walvis Bay Port will have to be quarantined for 14 days before entering southern Africa.
Professor Heslin and the others do not need to be quarantined. The ship is already a semi-enclosed environment. Professor Heslin and his family live in the first-class cabin on the top floor, which is almost like self-isolation.
Governments at all levels in Southern Africa are indeed very efficient. When the train arrived in Johannesburg, the staff on the Johannesburg platform had already put on masks. Before Professor Heslin and his family got off the train, the waiter also sent masks to Professor Heslin and his family.
, which is also standard in first class.
Professor Heslin and the others were going to transfer trains in Johannesburg, but this time it was a pity that Li Tai did not buy a first-class cabin, but only two sleeper compartments.
In fact, the environment in the sleeper box is not bad, it is also clean and tidy, and the service is attentive. In the box next to Professor Heslin is an official traveling from Johannesburg to Nyasaland. After meeting him on the aisle and chatting for a while, he realized that this was
An official named Huang Sheng works in Nyasaland, but his home is in Johannesburg.
This situation is also common in southern Africa. Johannesburg is the earliest Chinese gathering place in southern Africa, and the first stop for many Chinese when they come to southern Africa is Johannesburg.
After Nyasaland became the fiefdom of Rock, Chinese began to immigrate to Nyasaland on a large scale. The earliest officials in Nyasaland were all from Johannesburg. The relationship between the two regions is still very close.
"Of course I know President Koser. I work in the capital of Nyasaland, and the University of Nyasaland is the business card of our Nyasaland state." When mentioning the University of Nyasaland, Huang Sheng was also full of pride. From the beginning
was not accepted by Europe, and now more and more European students are taking the initiative to apply to study at the University of Nyasaland. The development history of the University of Nyasaland is a microcosm of the development history of southern Africa.
"Is Professor Cosell in good health?" Professor Heslin seemed nonchalant.
"It's been very good. I just met President Cosell in Pretoria a few days ago. Minister Douglas is really a bit too much. We can't reduce the funding to Nyasaland University just because the situation at Nyasaland University is better."
The University of Good Hope is not even qualified to carry shoes with the University of Nyasaland.” The situation mentioned by Huang Sheng made Professor Heslin familiar. Who said that the ivory tower is a pure land in the world, and there are also intrigues that cannot be brought to the table?
.
In fact, the University of Good Hope has a longer history than the University of Nyasaland, but because of Roque's support, the University of Nyasaland has developed much faster than the University of Good Hope.
When Douglas served as the president of the University of Nyasaland, he must have focused on the University of Nyasaland and focused on the University of Nyasaland everywhere.
Now that Douglas is the Minister of Education and Health in Southern Africa, a bowl of water must be leveled. Not only the University of Nyasaland needs funding, but also the University of Rhodes in Rhodesia, the University of Good Hope in the Cape, and the University of Good Hope in the Transvaal.
All Johannesburg medical schools should support——
The Johannesburg Medical College was officially upgraded to the Johannesburg Medical University this year, Port Edward is also preparing to establish the Imperial College of Southern Africa, and the Nyasaland Army College in Los Angeles is about to move to Ulysses. Douglas funding support is needed everywhere.
"The University of Good Hope is the oldest university in southern Africa, right?" Professor Heslin's face turned ugly, and the clues along the way were finally confirmed.
"It is indeed the oldest, but the current situation is worrying. The only few departments are still dominated by seminaries. What can we do by training a bunch of priests? What we need is not priests, but engineers, teachers, doctors and accountants. Even if we train
Lawyers are more useful than priests." Huang Sheng is a resolute pragmatist. If these words of his were heard by devout believers, a dispute would be inevitable.
Professor Heslin believes in Protestantism, but there are differences between German Protestantism and British Protestantism. There are also several different factions within Protestantism. The German one is Lutheran, and the British one is Anglican.
"Many universities were originally invested and built by the church, so there are seminaries -" Professor Heslin revealed the secret. It turns out that there is no profit in not getting up early.
Back in the box, Mrs. Heslin was coaxing little Gretel to sleep. Seeing Professor Heslin's unhappy face, Mrs. Heslin asked casually.
"Cosell has always been in good health, and someone saw him a few days ago." Although he was tricked by Abu into coming to southern Africa, Professor Heslin was surprised to find that he was not too angry.
"So what? It's normal to work while sick, right? No one says you have to be admitted to the hospital when you're sick." Mrs. Heslin took the lead. There were some things that everyone knew tacitly. The people of Germany were already in dire straits, and there was a big flu in the United States.
Against the backdrop of a comeback, Germany’s prospects——
I dare not even think about it.
"You know what I'm talking about." Professor Heslin was helpless.
"I know, that's why I asked you not to mind so much. To tell you the truth, I've had enough of my time in Munich! I don't want to see little Gretel crying because of hunger in the middle of the night every day, and I don't want to see Hugo dragging his feet every day.
I still forced a smile when I returned home with a tired body. I didn’t want to see Emma make the same mistake as Gretel. I also wanted to watch Erwin get married and have children. I didn’t want us to live silently like Mr. and Mrs. Melk.
Die—" Mrs. Heslin was extremely strong at this time. She could endure Professor Heslin hiding in the attic to work, and she could take care of the entire family without any regrets. On this point, Mrs. Heslin would never compromise.
:The melon you asked for is here - this melon is actually not delicious at all. The eldest brother is a policeman and the eldest sister is a doctor. The eldest sister was on night shift the night before yesterday. The eldest brother temporarily called the police. As a result, the eldest sister came back in the middle of the night and the child fell asleep crying on the floor.
——Then the two started to dust off old scores. Life is not easy, especially in their careers. I wish them peace and happiness in the future——
