Lara lived up to Roque's expectations and indeed captured Lubumbashi within 24 hours.
To everyone's surprise, the Yao people controlled themselves very well. During the capture of Lubumbashi, although some Belgians were injured or killed, there was no large-scale insult to women. This was consistent with the outside world's perception of Africa.
Human understanding is completely different.
"Africans are not completely hopeless. As long as we find a way, Africans can actually be managed." Roque explained to Phyllis. As for how to manage, there is no need to go into detail.
Rock and Phyllis took a steam-powered train back to Johannesburg. Although the internal combustion engine has appeared, applying the internal combustion engine to the train still requires a process.
Another important issue is that both Transvaal and Nyasaland are short of coal, and can even be said to have abundant reserves, but their oil reserves are very low. This has a great impact on the future prospects of Transvaal and Nyasaland.
Development is a constraint.
Of course, low reserves do not mean there is no oil. There is oil in Lake Nyasa, but it is not easy to extract it. It is still very difficult according to current technical standards.
Fortunately, Nyasaland’s demand for oil is not high at present, and being within the British Empire, it is easy for Nyasaland to purchase oil, so this problem is not serious yet.
"I really want to live in Nyasaland forever." If Rock hadn't returned to Johannesburg for work reasons, Phyllis wouldn't have wanted to leave.
During her stay in Nyasaland, Phyllis was not idle. She served as the principal of a girls' school for a period of time. During this time, she was influenced by Sophia and made great progress.
There is also a school in Nyasaland now. The model is similar to Ziwei Public School. The biggest difference is that there is an additional preparatory class, which is set up to solve the language problem.
Although Roque really wants to promote Chinese teaching in Nyasaland, it seems impossible at present. The British also know the importance of culture, otherwise Ade would not be committed to promoting English teaching in schools.
School-age students in Nyasaland are basically Chinese, so although the official language in Nyasaland is still English, the common language is Chinese, which brings a lot of trouble to teaching.
Although there are many Chinese in Johannesburg, the common language in Johannesburg is English. In this way, the Chinese students in Johannesburg have a context to learn English, so the learning speed is quite fast. There is no need to set up preparatory classes, and the Chinese students in Johannesburg can keep up with the teaching.
Progress.
Nyasaland still has a big problem in this regard, because the lingua franca of Nyasaland is Chinese, so Nyasaland Public School needs to set up preparatory classes to solve students' language problems.
Generally speaking, students in Nyasaland have to study in preparatory classes for one year after enrolling before they can start normal studies.
However, this is not fixed and will be adjusted over time.
After Phyllis came to Nyasaland, she naturally took over Nyasa Public School and got to know more about Chinese students.
"You will have plenty of time to live in Nyasaland in the future." Rock now gets along very easily with Phyllis. After the relationship with Phyllis was established, Phyllis began to enter the mode of a good wife and mother, and gradually began to become a good wife.
The transition to becoming a qualified housewife made Rock feel very comfortable.
That's right, Rock doesn't need a quirky lover, but a woman who can take care of the family for Rock. Now it seems that Phyllis is pretty good, although sometimes Phyllis can be stupid, but
Phyllis is working hard.
How to be a qualified hostess was part of Phyllis's curriculum at Brighton Roding Girls' School. The British are also very good at education. In the 21st century, the crown of the British Empire has fallen to the Pacific Ocean.
Here, British education is still very good.
In fact, Chinese education is not bad, but considering the background of the times, Chinese education is actually far behind the world.
It's not too late, Rock is catching up.
The train sped along, did not stop when it passed Salisbury, and continued towards Johannesburg.
The scenery along the way is pretty good, and Stoudemire is also working hard to develop Rhodesia. In the past, Stoudemire had reasons to be lazy, but now with Nyasaland in comparison, Stoudemire has no reason to be lazy.
It was just early in the morning when we arrived in Johannesburg. Rock and Phyllis slept on the train all night and were very energetic.
Don't think wrongly, they must have slept separately. Rock and Phyllis are not married yet. The Protestant religion that Phyllis believes in clearly opposes premarital sex, so if Rock wants to have a romantic relationship, he can wait. p>
Calculating that Roque has been going to Nyasaland for almost three months this time, this police chief is indeed unqualified. Joe Russell has now been transferred to Orange and serves as the chief of the Orange Police Department.
Fortunately, the telegraph is very convenient now, and Roque can command remotely from Nyasaland, so the backlog of official duties is not too much.
After seeing each other for several months, there are still changes in Johannesburg. The streets from the train station to the police station have been completed, and the green belts and trees on the roadside are growing lushly. Rock wonders if there are any professional jobs in big cities like London and Paris now.
There must be sanitation workers in Johannesburg, and there is even an Environmental Protection Bureau in Johannesburg. However, the Environmental Protection Bureau in Johannesburg is not an independent unit, but a subordinate unit of the police station.
Compared with the police station of the future, the current police station is actually a hodgepodge, covering urban security, household registration management, anti-terrorism and bomb disposal, handling unexpected emergencies, the police station and even fire protection. As long as the city government does not want to take care of it, it is too
Leave all troublesome matters to the police station.
Roque has no say in this issue, so he just thinks that Philip is testing himself.
Fortunately, Rock knows more or less how cities in the 21st century operate, so for now, Rock's work has not been flawless.
The only thing that embarrasses Rock is that for some unexplainable reason, the Johannesburg Police Department still employs many Africans. There is only one reason: Africans are cheaper.
Back in Johannesburg, while sending Phyllis home, Rock went to report to Philip.
It can be seen that Philip still has some opinions on Roque's postponement of the wedding, but Philip's performance is not obvious, because Philip also knows that this is an uncontrollable factor.
Out of habit, Philip is still concerned about the progress of Nyasaland and the Congo Free State.
"We are talking. We don't know if we can get a result yet. It depends on what the Belgians want. If the conditions offered by the Belgians are not satisfactory, then let's waste it like this." Roque was not in a hurry and waited for Lara to capture Luben.
After Bashi, I believe Leopold II will understand the situation.
"Don't go too far, it's just enough. This matter has made London very passive, and some people have strong opinions on you." Philip reminded Rock.
There is a strong opinion that the conflict between Nyasaland and the Congo Free State - or that it has now escalated into a war - will definitely affect the interests of some vested interests. Dennis Wilder has already reminded Rock of this.
"I know, I will let Duncan have a good talk with the Belgians." Rock agreed happily. How to do it depends on God's will.
"You have to know that Leopold II is still a king no matter what. The majesty of the royal power cannot be offended, so Locke, stop it in moderation." Philip could see that Locke was not willing.
Rock suddenly realized that he had indeed overlooked something.
Although Rock has come to this world, Rock's knowledge structure, experience in dealing with things, and understanding of the world still come from the 21st century.
The 21st century is an era when royal power has gradually declined, so Roque has actually not had a clear understanding of this issue.
Specific to the Congo Free State, there are some people in the UK who really want Leopold II to be unlucky, but they cannot be too unlucky, so as not to affect the authority of the royal family, and thus have an impact on the UK.
This relationship is a bit convoluted. Compared to the royal family in the 21st century, the royal family in this era still has great power, so Roque needs to give Leopold II more respect, instead of sweeping it away like a garbage collector.
Leopold II was swept into the garbage heap.
"To understand this relationship, Rock sent a telegram to Duncan and Anton when he returned to the police station. As long as the Belgians' conditions are not excessive, then he will agree to the Belgians as soon as possible.
They have all been beaten to the hinterland by Nyasaland, and even the mercenaries have been annihilated. Leopold II really does not have the strength to be tough.
Roark was willing to make concessions, and it was easier for Duncan and Anton to negotiate. Leopold II was currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and he really wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so the negotiations went smoothly.
The key issue still lies in compensation. Leopold II is indeed greedy. As long as Nyasaland does not demand compensation, then anything can be said.
As a result, Nyasaland received all of Lake Tanganyika that originally belonged to the Congo Free State, as well as all the land within 50 kilometers of Lake Tanganyika.
Roque voluntarily abandoned Lubumbashi, as well as the southern salient of the Congo Free State around Lubumbashi.
In order to redeem the mercenaries and Belgians captured by Nyasaland, the Congo Free State had to pay Nyasaland one hundred thousand pounds, a figure that was still acceptable to Leopold II.
"So, your Nyasaland continues to expand -" After Owen knew the result, he felt all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred towards Roark.
"It's not an expansion. A small Lake Tanganyika, Congo Free State, Nyasaland, and Tanganyika are divided into three countries. It's really annoying -" Rock wanted to monopolize Lake Tanganyika.
It's a pity that the Germans don't agree.
"Little!" Owen was very angry and gave Rock a vicious middle finger.
It is indeed small for Roque, that is, Nyasaland will still be controlled by the British government. Otherwise, Roque will turn the Congo Free State upside down this time.
