In another time and space, Martin boots appeared in Germany in 1945. They were originally designed by a doctor to help his friend with a sprained foot. Later, they became unexpectedly popular because they were very comfortable to wear.
In this time and space, Rock certainly would not have waited until 1945 for Martin boots to appear. Johannesburg is rich in all kinds of leather materials, from cheap sheepskin, horsehide, and cowhide to expensive deerskin, crocodile skin, and python skin. Johannesburg has them all.
, has all the conditions to produce Martin boots, so Johannesburg started producing Martin boots last year, with various short, medium and long boots, becoming the best-selling product in Johannesburg now.
A long time ago, the Johannesburg Police Department has begun to purchase black patent leather Martin boots and short boots. As the standard equipment of the Johannesburg Police Department, the long boots are prepared for mounted policemen. Patrol officers and commandos all use short boots, which are more durable than before.
The leather shoes are much easier to use.
Nyasaland follows the tradition of Johannesburg, and Martin boots have become the standard equipment of the Nyasaland militia. Martin is very depressed because many people think that Martin invented the "Martin boots", so Martin boots are called this name. p>
In fact, it’s not true. This name is just a bad taste of Rock and has nothing to do with Martin.
If it had been someone else using this name, Martin would probably have talked to him.
Rock did this, but Martin didn't dare to put anything else. Martin boots are just Martin boots. In fact, they sound pretty good once you get used to them. It seems that they should have been called this name in the first place.
Nyasaland now has a certain model for building ports and cities. The sewers in the city must be high and wide, with easy passages on both sides to facilitate maintenance by sewer workers, and there must be reserved space at the top of the sewers.
Leave space to facilitate the installation of cables in the future. Now everyone in Nyasaland knows that this is to prepare for the installation of electrical wires and telephone lines in the future. No one knows that these spaces will have other uses in the future.
When building a city, regardless of the size of the city, the width of the main streets must be more than 50 meters, and the width of the secondary streets must be at least 20 meters. Alleys with a width of less than 10 meters basically do not exist in Nyasaland.
, because Nyasaland has very high requirements for urban greening, trees must be planted every five meters on both sides of the street, sidewalks and driveways must be distinguished on the road, and there is a green belt in the center of the street. The streets are really narrow.
Not enough.
The same is true for Kalemmi-Ulysses. Although, as Isiah Ulysses said, Ulysses does not yet belong to Nyasaland, Martin firmly believes that Ulysses
The future must belong to Nyasaland, so now Martin has high standards for Ulysses and lays a good foundation first. Then he will decide whether the development of Ulysses can be worthy of a 50-meter-wide street.<
/p>
To put it bluntly, the Northern Rhodesian Division has captured more than 4,000 Congolese. It is better to keep these Congolese in prison and consume food in vain. This is not in line with Nyasaland’s style of doing things. Nyasa
Lan has always been like a wild goose plucking her hair——
No, Nyasaland has always made the best use of its people and cannot waste any human resources.
"I can now appreciate the happiness of colonization. No wonder so many people are willing to come to the colony. We are like gods here." Isiah Ulysses couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the Congolese people who were as diligent as worker ants.<
/p>
You can't do it if you don't work hard. Nyasaland people are not gods, so they won't keep these captives in vain.
The Nyasalans are not demons at the same time, so the supervisors are Yao people. These Yao people are the slaves of the Northern Rhodesian Division. Because the technology is not advanced enough, all military operations in this era require the use of a large number of slaves.
They usually feed horses, carry ammunition, cook, and do laundry. At critical moments, they can also pick up weapons and go to the battlefield.
Of course, in the Northern Rhodesian Division, this problem does not exist. In Africa, when the Northern Rhodesian Division fights with the enemy, there is a high probability that it will not be fought to the extent that the servants are required to participate in the battle, although these servants are very happy. There is extra remuneration for a soldier to participate in a battle. After a battle, in addition to the extra remuneration, the materials captured by the soldier on the battlefield belong to the individual and do not need to be turned over. Therefore, the soldier who follows the Northern Rhodesian Division is very hopeful.
Have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.
This is the same for the soldiers of the Northern Rhodesian Division. Western troops have never paid public service, so soldiers in Western countries are looking forward to the war and looking forward to getting rich overnight in the war. p>
Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, the soldiers are motivated, and naturally they cannot require strict military discipline. Nyasaland is no exception. Since the Northern Rhodesian Division entered Nyasaland, on average, each person has gone to Nyasaland.
Asalan sent back property worth one hundred pounds, which is equivalent to a year's income of a middle class person in England. The dividends of the war can be seen.
"Your experience is not deep enough. When this battle is over, you will fall in love with this place." Martin did not bother to compete with ordinary soldiers for property. For generals like Martin, the reward after the war is the greatest.
Harvest.
Rock has never been stingy when it comes to money. He followed Rock's brothers in Cape Town, and now he is a farmer with at least a thousand acres of land. When converted into metric units, a thousand acres is already more than 6,000 acres.
With these lands, farmers have nothing to worry about.
Of course, if you want to keep this wealth, Rock's strength is the prerequisite, and unity is the basis for Rock to remain strong. Therefore, when Nyasaland encounters a war, everyone will share the same hatred. This is the same as everyone's
Personal interests are closely related.
As for Martin and Isiah Ulysses specifically, after the war, Nyasaland will definitely get a lot of benefits, and Roque will not be stingy then, and it should be given to Martin and Isiah Ulysses.
Rock will give him enough benefits, enough to surprise Martin and Isiah Ulysses, so that when there is a war in Nyasaland in the future, some people will be willing to fight for Nyasaland.
While Martin was chatting with Isiah Ulysses, a Congolese man working on the dock, for some unknown reason, annoyed the Yao people who were supervising the work.
The two supervisors went over to find the Congolese man, pushed him down on the dock, and started beating him with whips.
Not far away, there were Nyasaland militiamen on guard with guns, but the militiamen seemed not to see them and did not come to intervene at all.
The Congolese people at the scene were indifferent to all this. Although the Congolese people who were knocked to the ground were screaming and begging, no one helped to beg for mercy. Everyone subconsciously speeded up their actions to avoid being caught by the supervisor.
Scenes like this happen every day. Even if the Congolese make no mistakes, the Yao people who supervise the work will find trouble and beat up some unlucky Congolese. This is killing the chicken and the monkey. Only in this way can the quality and speed of the project be guaranteed. In fact, the beating was not very severe. After all, the Yao supervisors were not brutal Belgians. If they had been Belgians, the unfortunate Congolese would have had his hands chopped off and then thrown into the sea.
The Yao supervisor was just bluffing, and after a few whips, he sent the unlucky Congolese back to continue working. Then the two Yao supervisors smiled and went to the militia soldiers watching the fun nearby to ask for cigarettes.
After all, not everyone can afford to smoke cigars. Cigarettes are distributed in the Nyasaland militia. Each soldier has a quota of one pack of cigarettes per day. This quota is not available to the Yao slaves. It is only a welfare for the soldiers. "In a few years, will these people hate us?" Isiah Ulysses still couldn't bear it when he looked at the scene happening in front of him.
"You think they don't hate now?" Martin has no mercy. These days, no one has the right to pity others. The one who has the upper hand now is Nyasaland, so Nyasaland can do whatever he wants. If the Congo Free State has the upper hand
, then the Belgians will be more ruthless than the Yao people: "So we must keep winning. As long as we keep winning, even if these people hate us, they will not dare to resist."
Rock, like Martin and others, instilled this truth a long time ago. "Nyaasaland" does not need to be loved by everyone. It is more beneficial to Nyasaland to be feared by everyone. In this time and space, Rock does not want white people to mention Nyasaland.
, he would only use "diligence, kindness, and kindness to others" to evaluate Nyasaland. Rock would prefer white people to use adjectives such as "tough, brave, and tough" to describe Nyasaland.
To put it bluntly, the fighting ability of white people is actually just that. A long time ago, nomads often killed all directions in the west after fleeing to the west.
That was because the nomads had been driven to despair, so they traveled all the way to Europe. If the Eastern Empire at that time wanted to conquer Europe, would Europe still exist now?
It's probably very difficult.
After inspecting the completion site, Martin and Isiah Ulysses returned to the military camp near the port. This military camp was a castle-like complex. All marble and granite were used to build the castle. It was unknown what the Belgians were doing.
How much money did it cost to build this castle, and how much human resources were consumed.
Now all this has become the spoils of Nyasaland. Compared with the temporary camp composed of tents, the castle is certainly more comfortable to live in. The Northern Rhodesian Division and the Nyasaland Militia all live in the castle, and the Yao overseers
Living with the prisoners in the camp next to the castle, Martin did not even send scouts now. The Yao people took the initiative to take on this task, because during the reconnaissance, the Yao people could also gain something.
It was under this circumstance that Ethan Barrett was discovered by the Yao scouts.
Although Ethan Barrett is full of confidence, it is obvious that Ethan Barrett is a guy with high ambitions and low abilities, because this guy did not forget to burn, kill and loot along the way, which led to Ethan Barrett's arrival in Yu
By the time we arrived in Lises, it was already late January.
