After the Kingdom of Mozambique was incorporated into Southern Africa, the data on Africans in the Kingdom of Mozambique finally became available, including a total of 650,000 Africans working in Southern Africa.
With the fertility capacity of Africans, it is difficult to imagine that after so many years of establishment, the Kingdom of Mozambique has experienced a substantial population decline instead of increasing.
When Roque saw this data, he seriously doubted that if the Kingdom of Mozambique was not integrated into southern Africa, the Mozambicans would simply disappear in a few years.
Just like many tribes in Africa that have disappeared.
It should be emphasized that although the Kingdom of Mozambique has been incorporated into Southern Africa, Africans in the Kingdom of Mozambique are still unable to obtain Southern African citizenship and are not yet officially Southern Africans.
"Of course not. If they join Southern African citizenship and become official Southern Africans, then we will have to increase their salaries and give them better treatment, which will seriously affect our profits." Henry's attitude on this issue.
Firmly, Favart needs African workers, cheap African workers, so as to ensure Favart's competitiveness.
"Gentlemen, annexing the Kingdom of Mozambique is only the first step. Next, we will annex West Africa, the Republic of Congo, the Kingdom of Congo and Madagascar, so it is necessary for us to give an example to Africans in these areas and let them see joining Southern Africa.
Otherwise, we will have to work several times harder to achieve our goal." Interior Minister Bob Giles is a freshly minted Southern Africanist, a person just defined by the editor of the French newspaper Le Figaro.
call.
Although France lost Madagascar, it was not willing to see Madagascar join the Southern African Union.
In France, there are still many people clamoring to return to Madagascar and restore French colonial rule over Madagascar.
After the establishment of the Southern African Union, the editor of "Le Figaro" defined the group of "Greater Southern Africanists". Philippe and Roque were the core of this group. Henry Smalls and many officials in southern Africa also became this group.
a member of.
"The annexation of these areas is not directly related to the improvement of the status of Africans. It is not the Africans who determine the fate of these areas, but the white people living in these areas." Henry sneered, while Rock and Xiaosi remained silent.
Rock's attitude towards Africans has always been consistent: it is OK to hire them, but not to accept them.
Stoudemire and Rock maintained the same position most of the time. Bob Giles was an official, not a businessman. Officials valued political performance, while businessmen valued interests.
"That's why we need to give those Africans a better living environment to show the difference between us and the colonizers. We are not exploiting them, but bringing them a better life." Bob Giles' position
Clearly, Southern Africa wants interests as well as influence. This is obviously a good opportunity to increase Southern Africa’s international influence.
After the establishment of the Southern African Union, Southern Africa has officially become a regional power that is qualified to participate in international competition and has absolute influence in the region.
This result obviously cannot satisfy the Southern Africanists in Southern Africa. The Southern Africanists want to make Southern Africa a country with real global influence, which cannot be achieved by relying on a strong economy alone.
So far, the only country with truly global influence in the world is the United Kingdom. It is not even close to the United States. Japan and France are not qualified. At most, Japan is as influential as a regional power in southern Africa, while France is not.
In 1921, Britain and the United States emerged from the economic crisis one after another, the economy began to recover, and the market gradually prospered. Only France was still sinking into the whirlpool of the economic crisis and could not escape.
Now the United States is the loudest speaker of "freedom and equality" in the world, but the United States is just a slogan. Although the United States has abolished slavery, in fact Africans still suffer from discrimination in the United States.
The British didn't even bother to shout. Southern Africa had expelled all Africans, India still had a caste system, and as for the indigenous people in Canada and Australia——
Sorry, there are no indigenous people in Canada and Australia.
The Anglo-Saxons are so inhumane. If they didn't enslave the colonial natives to work for them, they would probably kill all the non-Anglo-Saxons in the world.
Look at how Americans treat Indians.
"Bob, you don't even believe what you say!" Henry laughed loudly, taking too big a step and easily breaking his balls.
"Why don't you believe it? I firmly believe this. We can build a better and more prosperous southern Africa!" Bob Giles is really not singing a high tune, he really thinks so.
Believe it or not!
Just like Rock firmly believes that no matter how docile Africans seem now, once they are given better welfare, they will reveal their true colors.
"Yes, I firmly believe this, but in a better and more prosperous southern Africa, there is no African part." Henry was right in the general direction, but he had differences with Bob Giles on the details.
"Gentlemen, please calm down -" Roque had to step forward, not to be too watery on this issue: "-We have just signed a series of agreements with the Americans. If the treatment of Africans is greatly improved at this time, it will
Seriously affecting the competitiveness of our southern African enterprises——"
"Locke—" Bob Giles wanted to interject.
Rock gave Bob Giles a firm gesture: "Not now! At least not yet - Bob, I agree with you, we all want to build a better and more prosperous Southern Africa, but now Southern Africa
There are still people struggling in poverty, there are people who are precarious and have no fixed place to live. Children cannot enjoy the same education standards as children in Pretoria and Cape Town. Patients cannot enjoy the medical resources of big cities. We do not have the ability for the time being.
, give Africans and Southern Africans the same treatment.”
Rock's words made Bob Giles despair.
According to Roque, only after poverty is eradicated can we be able to take care of Africans.
But everyone knows that poverty cannot be eradicated. If there is competition, there will be gaps. Some people just don’t want to live a happy life in the secular sense. What can you do with them?
To put it bluntly, the definitions of happiness are still different.
In a general sense, the definition of happiness is a good life, a happy family, and complete security.
But some people just don't want to be constrained by these "happiness" and like to live a free life. They don't even want to start a family, they don't even want to fall in love, and they don't want to work 9 to 5 or even 996 for life. Is this wrong?
Of?
In fact, this is also an attitude towards life. Some people like their wives and children to be on the hot bed, while others must yearn to drink and sing songs and travel around the world. When the richest man was happiest, his monthly salary was only 91 yuan.
Regardless of whether this sentence is correct or not, this is what the richest man said.
"But Mozambique has only 650,000 people, which will not cause us more trouble." Bob Giles made a last ditch effort.
"Minister Cape, can you tell me, if we want to give these 650,000 people the same treatment as southern Africans, how much will it cost us?" Roque asked Ada directly without arguing with Bob Giles.
.
"Same treatment? Sorry, we will go bankrupt -" Ada kept saying nothing.
"——It seems that our financial situation is relatively good. In fact, we have been wandering on the edge of the abyss. Just a few days ago, we sold another R100 million in bonds to support the state of Victoria and Diaz.
farmer--
If we want to give these 650,000 people the same treatment as southern Africans, we have to build enough hospitals and schools for these 650,000 people, and hire enough doctors and teachers. Sorry, we still have many states in southern Africa that lack experienced people.
There are many doctors and teachers, and some towns don’t even have a decent hospital or school. Even if we have this ability, we must give priority to southern Africa.” What Ada said is the truth, regardless of the development of Transylvania-Saland.
The speed is very fast, but the actual situation is still very serious.
Uneven regional development has always been an unavoidable problem.
The three northern states plus the Cape are in better development in southern Africa. There is a clear gap in other states, especially Basutoland and Swaziland, which do not even have a decent company in their territory.
Including Nyasaland, there are actually many problems.
The main reason is that Nyasaland has been importing a large number of immigrants. The resettlement of new immigrants has always been the core content of the Nyasaland State Government. Every year, the Nyasaland State Government spends tens of millions of rands on new immigrants.
placement.
"What's more, even if we squeeze out limited funds to build complete infrastructure in Mozambique - oh, sorry, it's Nacala now - in Nacala, we have to take into account the affordability of the Mozambicans, who may not be willing to accept it.
." Ada clearly sees the problem more profoundly than Bob Giles.
This is the core of the problem. The hospitals and schools Aida mentioned are rare benefits for southern Africans, but Mozambicans do not necessarily think so.
It costs money to go to the hospital for medical treatment. Free medical care is not yet universal in southern Africa. At the very least, you need to buy insurance.
If a Mozambican who is not financially well-off and has little expectations for the future buys insurance, most Mozambicans will think that this is another way the federal government is collecting a poll tax.
It also costs money to go to public schools. Mozambicans don’t value education as much as the Chinese. Many Chinese families have to go bankrupt to train a top student. How can Mozambicans go to school?
I'm afraid that even if it doesn't cost money, many Mozambicans are unwilling to send their children to school.
