Military coups one after another are actually rounds of benefit distribution.
When Lu Thaitai was king, he appropriated a large amount of wealth in the Kingdom of Congo for himself, occupying tens of millions of hectares of plantations.
Now Lu Taitai's property has been nationalized, or inherited by Mumu. The amount of millions every year is actually nothing to Mumu. The rubber palm peanuts and ivory produced by the Kingdom of Congo are still very popular in southern Africa.
of.
Roque was very satisfied with Yaya and Mumu and hosted a banquet for Yaya and Mumu at his official residence. During the dinner, Roque promised Yaya that he would give Yaya legal status in southern Africa at the appropriate time.
"Thank you, Lord, thank you very much -" Yaya's eyes were slightly red and she was very emotional. He had been waiting for this day for many years.
"Yaya, this is what you deserve -" Rock will be rewarded for his merits, and he did not forget to sound the alarm: "-Joining Southern Africa means giving up something, you have to think about it carefully."
In the past, Yaya was not a Southern African and was traveling in a gray area. He was not restricted by Southern African laws and did not need to pay taxes to the Southern African tax authorities on much of his income.
Joining Southern Africa means that Yaya has to give up part of his gray income, and the taxes he should pay must also be paid or even repaid. From now on, Yaya will also be bound by the laws of Southern Africa and will no longer be as free as before.
"Lord, I have made preparations. I will definitely become a law-abiding citizen of Nyasaland, abide by the laws and regulations of Nyasaland, be sincerely loyal to Nyasaland, and swear to defend the interests of Nyasaland to the death.
Half of my personal property - no, 80% of my personal property, is donated to the charitable foundation in my wife's name - "Yaya is impassioned, and will come back after all the money is spent. For Yaya, making money is not necessary.
Too easy.
Yaya is currently the largest human resources supplier in Southern Africa. Many companies in Southern Africa hire workers from neighboring countries in Southern Africa through Yaya. From this alone, Yaya can make millions of rands in profits every year.
.
"No, your money is yours, no one will care about it." Roque didn't like Yayana's money, and Phyllis probably didn't like it either.
"No, Lord, Madam actually has a charity foundation in the Kingdom of Congo, which has adopted tens of thousands of African orphans. Madam's kindness has already surpassed Nyasaland -" Yaya's words surprised Rock. These things Rock
Not sure yet.
Again, in this era, I am afraid that only Rock in the world knows the terror of Africans. In most people's minds, Africans are hard-working and capable people who eat less and have fewer requirements. They are irreplaceable and high-quality labor force.
Phyllis has no prejudice against Africans and even has some sympathy for Africans. It is normal to do charity in the Kingdom of Congo.
Of course, Phyllis's foundation's main investment must still be in Nyasaland.
Rock smiled and said nothing. Rock's impression of Africans has actually changed over the years. Especially during the World War, African-American soldiers left a very deep impression on Rock.
Including the current Umbrella Company, the bravest mercenaries are still Africans.
"It's a good thing, when those children grow up, they can be sent to Favart to work as workers -" Henry laughed, his purpose was not simple.
"It is better to send them to the army. The salary of our soldiers is too high. A soldier pays an average of three hundred rand per year; an African soldier pays an average of up to fifty rand per year, and the role played by a white soldier is definitely not as good as
Six African-American soldiers." Roque is now under great pressure. The total strength of the army, navy and air force in southern Africa is less than 150,000, and the annual defense budget is more than 50 million rand.
If all these were replaced by African soldiers, the ten million a year would not be used up.
The "defense budget" here is only the basic annual expenditure and does not include the cost of the Navy's modification of battleships and the construction of aircraft carriers.
If all are added together, plus the upgrade of air force and army equipment, the defense expenditure in southern Africa will directly exceed 100 million.
"That's no problem. The Kingdom of Congo now has more than 300,000 troops. From them, 50,000 to 60,000 will be selected to join the Allied Forces, and then the rest will be sent to Favart. Objectively, it can also alleviate the pressure on the Kingdom of Congo." Yaya carefully tried to please her.
Everyone, there are many benefits to doing this, just like those pheasant schools that promise package distribution.
Distribution is distribution. As for whether the job is to your liking or not, that is not something the school can decide.
Of the 300,000 soldiers, even if 100,000 are retained, 200,000 will have to be demobilized.
These 200,000 people are all young people who are strong and have certain military qualities. They know nothing but killing. If they are allowed to leave the military camp, it will also be a huge hidden danger to the security of the Kingdom of Congo.
However, retaining 100,000 soldiers at fifty rand per person per year would cost five million.
So Mumu is also very good at calculating. It sounds like the Kingdom of Congo spends five million a year, which is quite a lot. In fact, it is still cost-effective for the Kingdom of Congo.
Mumu came to Pretoria secretly. The next day, Mumu went to visit Philip and Kitchener, and then returned to the Kingdom of Congo. The only person left to attend the meeting was Biwei, a southern African who had just been appointed prime minister by Mumu.
S.
It should be noted that Bivis, whose original name is Bi Hong, is a second-generation Chinese from southern Africa and has just turned 30 years old this year.
Bivis graduated from the University of Nyasaland. He previously worked for the Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. and was later sent to Leopoldville to be responsible for the coordination and cooperation between the Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. and the Kingdom of Congo.
.
After Mumu launched a coup, he appointed Bivis as Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Congo. Bivis also became the second Chinese in Africa to serve as a leader of this level of country.
The last one was Buck, who served as Speaker of the Southern African Parliament.
Anton is not even close to Buck. Although Anton's actual power may be greater than Buck, Anton's power is limited to Nyasaland, but Buck has the qualifications to represent southern Africa.
Now Beavis is also qualified to represent the Kingdom of Congo.
"You've been a little too hasty lately, haven't you?" When Philip met Roque, he consciously or unconsciously reminded Roque to keep a low profile.
"What?" Rock didn't react for a moment.
Phillip was speechless and looked at Roque with a look of contempt on his face. Why are you pretending to be a wolf with me? If I had known better, I wouldn't marry my daughter to you——
Rock suddenly realized that Philip had put all the debts of the Kingdom of Mozambique and the Kingdom of Congo on himself.
"The death of the King of Mozambique was indeed an accident. As for Lu Taitai, he brought it upon himself." Roque clarified that these two incidents really had nothing to do with Roque, although now it seems that Southern Africa has the most to gain.
"Lu Taitai is dead. His bodyguards kidnapped Lu Taitai to a house in Johannesburg and tortured him in an attempt to squeeze more property out of Lu Taitai. As a result, they accidentally tortured him too hard and Lu Taitai died directly." Philip was also speechless.
It is truly a travesty for the majestic king of a country to die so mysteriously.
"Where is the murderer?" Rock really didn't know these things.
"Brad's office handled it, wouldn't you know?" Phillip asked rhetorically.
God knows, Rock really doesn't know that Zach, that boring gourd, won't report everything to Rock.
"These two things really have nothing to do with me, they just happened to happen at the right time -" Rock clarified again.
Philip's expression was obviously unbelieving.
This is indeed a tragedy.
Perhaps Rock has always felt too aggressive, but now things that clearly have nothing to do with Rock are being linked to Rock.
Even Phillip didn't believe it, so needless to say the others.
"It doesn't matter. After all, Southern Africa will be the winner in the end. The Kingdom of Mozambique is about to vote in a referendum. What are you going to do?" Philip must be so keen on opening up territories, his eyes are literally shining.
"It's not what I plan to do. The future of the Kingdom of Mozambique is determined by the Mozambicans." Regardless of Roque, the royal family of the Kingdom of Mozambique will be extinct, the imperial power will definitely no longer exist, and it is very likely that it will actively join southern Africa.
Speaking of which, Southern Africa can actually play the game of three petitions and three resignations, just like the Philippines, which voted to join the United States in a referendum, but the United States did not want to...
Oops, it's so embarrassing. Even having a hot face against a cold butt can't describe the level of embarrassment.
"It is best to merge with southern Africa and turn the Kingdom of Mozambique into the state of Mozambique." Philip has already had a clue. The current territory of the Kingdom of Mozambique is only more than 300,000 square kilometers.
Only!
The young man is drifting.
"No, we want to erase all the memories left by the Portuguese and the Kingdom of Mozambique. East Africa is a good choice." Roque is ruthless and not only wants to annex the Kingdom of Mozambique, but also wants to wipe it out.
Philip sneered. Just now someone said it had nothing to do with it, but now he has even thought of the name——
If this doesn't matter, then what does it mean?
Roque doesn't want to explain, whatever Phillip thinks.
After the issue of the Kingdom of Congo was resolved, the pace of establishing the Southern African Union suddenly accelerated. On the eve of the establishment of the Southern African Union, Viscount Glaston suddenly came to Pretoria to represent Australia and New Zealand, and also hoped to join the yet-to-be-established Southern African Union.
African Union.
Australia and New Zealand hope to join the Southern African Union and are obviously optimistic about the prospects of the Southern African Union.
The British Empire is setting, and Australia and New Zealand also want to hug each other. Looking around the world, apart from the United States, the only country that can be called "thick legs" is southern Africa.
"The Kingdom of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, West Africa, East Africa, Madagascar - they are all African countries. It is natural to join the Southern African Union. Australia and New Zealand are British Overseas Dominions. I am afraid it is not appropriate to join the Southern African Union -" Philip was in a dilemma on this issue.
Of course it is very desirable. If Australia and New Zealand also join the Southern African Union, the influence of the Southern African Union will be further enhanced.
But we have to take the British reaction into consideration. Southern Africa is now enough to scare the British, if Australia and New Zealand are added to it.
