All countries in the world have to follow the path of copying first and then developing R&D when developing industry. This was the case in the United States in the past, and it is the same in Germany now. Only the Transvaal has taken a completely different path from other countries, surpassing it right away.
In all countries, including the United Kingdom, this is something that no one has thought of.
For example, if Rock wants to sell motorcycles to Europe, it is really simple. There is no comparison between the motorcycles produced in workshops in Europe and the motorcycles produced in Ziwei Town, whether it is appearance or appearance.
In terms of performance, the motorcycles produced in Ziwei Town are much better than those produced in Europe. Under Roque's guidance, in terms of appearance alone, the motorcycles produced in Ziwei Town are as good as the famous BMW motorcycles in Germany during World War II.
There is not much difference anymore, that is, the current production capacity of the motorcycle factory is not enough, so Rock deliberately does not sell its products to Europe. When the motorcycle production in Ziwei Town increases, Rock will dump it to Europe.
Selling to Europe now will leave opportunities for European motorcycle manufacturers to improve their products. Roque would not be so stupid. Back then, Roque knew that he would dismantle and study the motorcycles he bought. The motorcycle manufacturers in Europe must also know that.
In terms of performance, the motorcycles produced in Ziwei Town are not qualitatively improved compared to the motorcycles produced in Europe, so Roque still has to hide his capabilities and bide his time.
It is enough. When the order from the Johannesburg Police Station is completed, there are also the Pretoria Police Station and the Rhodesia Police Station queuing up. The Bloemfontein Police Station also has a demand for motorcycles, just for orders from Southern Africa.
, it’s enough for Bobby Holt to toss until Christmas. By then, the production of motorcycles will reach a certain level. Maybe the next generation of motorcycles has appeared. By then, the motorcycles in Ziwei Town and the motorcycles in Europe will be the same.
It will really widen the gap.
Here Rock also wants to comfort Bobby Holt to prevent Bobby Holt from thinking wildly.
"I understand, Lord, our most important task now is to expand productivity and train more skilled workers. We have hired a lot of people now, and the number of workers in the factory exceeds 500. Before Christmas, this number is expected to increase.
Double it." Bobby Holt is not in a hurry, the police station's order is also profitable.
The workers in the motorcycle factory are almost all Chinese. In industrial production, the advantages of Chinese are even more obvious. The same process, if it is an African, may not be able to master it proficiently in a week, and it may be left to the Chinese for a morning at most.
As time goes by, the efficiency gap between Chinese workers and African-American workers becomes more obvious. For the same part processing, Chinese workers can process ten or twenty parts per day. As their proficiency increases, efficiency will steadily increase.<
/p>
The same cannot be said for African-American workers. Under the same conditions, the efficiency of African-American workers is more than twice as low as that of Chinese-American workers. Compared with Chinese-American workers who concentrate on their work, African-American workers are very good at wasting time. When they are working, their movements are simply terrible.
To describe it in slow motion, it can also be described as serious and meticulous. However, the qualification rate of parts processed by African-American workers is far lower than that of Chinese workers. Therefore, after the initial inspection, the motorcycle factory completely gave up on African-American workers.
, all using Chinese workers.
Because the profits of motorcycles are relatively high, the salary of Chinese workers is still relatively high. Under normal circumstances, a Chinese worker can earn more than five pounds per month, which is higher than the salary of workers in gold mines, which is about the same.
The salary is the same as that of local workers in the UK.
"Okay, ignore the Belgians and concentrate on your work." Rock sent Bobby Holt away. As for Lawrence Amelia, Rock really doesn't want to talk to him now.
When he went to work the next day, Philippe called Roque to the city hall. The Belgian government finally lodged a protest with the British government.
"I don't know much about this matter. I'll find out later." Rock didn't say anything. Anton and Martin now have actual control over Lake Mweru. It's not easy for Rock to let Lake Mweru out again.
.
"Nyaasaland has gained huge benefits from the conflict some time ago. Stop when it's time to stop. Don't make too much trouble." Philip reminded lightly. As for whether Rock will listen or not, that is Rock's business.
.
As Rock expected, Philip did not strictly ask Rock to stop, but just reminded him as a routine. The British government's attitude was also ambiguous.
There are some things that everyone understands tacitly.
"No, the Congo Free State ceded Lake Tanganyika to Rhodesia. Nyasaland did not take advantage of this conflict. It just used this conflict to integrate its troops." Rock.
I revealed a little bit of news in this regard to Philip, and gave him a vaccination first, so that Philip would not be caught off guard in the future.
"You mean the Northern Rhodesian Division?" Philip indeed knew the details of the Northern Rhodesian Division.
In fact, many people know it, even Ade, but if Roque doesn't make it clear, Phillip will pretend not to know.
After all, we are a family, so we can talk about anything.
"Yes, the Northern Rhodesian Division was formed by the Nyasaland Militia, and the instructors trained were all from Europe. In the conflict with the Congo Free State, the Northern Rhodesian Division has basically acquired combat capabilities, Leo
The mercenaries formed by Pod II were wiped out by the Northern Rhodesian Division." Roque is not afraid of Philip looking for trouble. In the past, Roque would have kept a lower profile, but now there is no need. In Natal, Zulu and
Relations with the Natal government are becoming increasingly tense. Adelaide has ordered the colonial troops in the Transvaal to prepare for combat and be ready to deal with possible conflicts in Natal.
After the Natal government forced London to resign en masse and thus obtained judicial power, it shot the Zulu men who attacked the police as quickly as possible.
This did not scare the Zulus, but instead led to increasingly tense relations between the Zulus and the Natal government.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Just a week ago, the same tribe that attacked the police had a vicious confrontation between tribal warriors and Natal police.
The Natal police were relatively restrained, and the conflict did not break out immediately. This instead caused the Zulu tribe to become more arrogant. At least six tribes formed an alliance to try to win more rights from the Natal government.
The Natal government will never give in and has already sent an application to Pretoria for assistance, which is why Adelaide is preparing for war.
Rock learned this news through Henry, whose father-in-law, General Hopkins, was the head of the Transvaal garrison.
"What do you want to do? Form an army?" Philip asked knowingly. Rock's behavior was actually illegal to a certain extent.
"Otherwise, what can we do? Nyasaland is surrounded by wolves, not only Belgians, but also Germans and Yao people. Although the Yao people are very quiet now, in fact, these Africans are not well-fed.
White-eyed wolf, they have no ability now, so they have to submit to our rule. In the future, when they have a certain strength, they will definitely demand more rights like the Zulus in Natal now, so will we give it or not?
"I said a long time ago, look at the Portuguese now, we must have certain counterattack capabilities." Roque does not hide his ambitions, and the situation in Natal is enough to make the Transvaal more vigilant. p>
In fact, compared with Natal, the hidden dangers in this area are more serious in the Transvaal.
Don’t forget that there are a hundred thousand young and strong Africans in the gold mines of Johannesburg. They seem harmless now, but no one can guarantee their loyalty. If the Africans in Johannesburg also show their loyalty to the Africans in Natal,
Still demanding more rights would be a real disaster for officials like Roque.
"In this situation, we really need to be more vigilant -" Philip was also worried. Perhaps in Philip's heart, he was worried not only about Africans, but also about the Chinese with an increasing population, and even the Boers who had temporarily disappeared. p>
There is no way, there are too few British people in southern Africa. Even if Africans are not taken into account, they do not account for 30% of the total population. Once another war breaks out, the British government may not necessarily have the resources to fight in the second Boer War.
determination.
"If a conflict does break out in Natal, I hope the Governor will agree to send the Northern Rhodesian Division to participate in the war. I can guarantee that the Northern Rhodesian Division will be able to restore normalcy in Natal as quickly as possible and control the damage.
On the smallest scale." Roque took the initiative to ask for a fight. The troops must fight more in order to maintain full combat effectiveness.
"I will propose it to the Governor, hoping that the conflict will break out later." Philip also knows that the conflict is inevitable, but hopes that the conflict will break out later.
After all, Rock will be getting married to Phyllis in a few days, and a conflict breaking out at this time is not a good sign.
Roque is now a baron and serves as the chief of the Johannesburg Police Department, so it is expected that many people will come to attend Roque's wedding. In the past few days, Roque's old friends from the Cape Town Police Department have been preparing to go here.
In time, Winston and Neville Chamberlain, who were far away in London, also sent telegrams to Rock respectively. Due to the long distance, they could not make it in time to attend Rock's wedding, but they both expressed their congratulations to Rock via telegrams.
Rock doesn't care about these red tapes. If possible, Rock even hopes to hold a simple wedding. Henry and Lacey got married before. Rock already knows how cumbersome the wedding is at this time. Rock doesn't want Phyllis to suffer this.
Sin.
Apart from anything else, Phyllis's wedding dress alone was enough for Phyllis to endure. Fortunately, it is winter in Johannesburg now. Although it won't snow, it is much more comfortable than in summer. If the wedding was held in summer,
