Many years later, Huang Gang still remembers the sweet taste of battlefield coffee that afternoon.
For Huang Gang, it was not just a cup of coffee, but also the door to a new world. A simple cup of coffee made Huang Gang know that the world was not just about hunger and cold, nor was it just the same. From that day on, the world
For Huanggang, the colors become colorful instead of endless darkness.
The Second East India Division did not launch another attack. The officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the bombing and fire fled Xianda and surrendered to the mercenaries. They threw away their weapons and knelt on both sides of the road with their hands raised, waiting for the final judgment of fate.
Perhaps they also imagined that mercenaries would recruit them like the Dutch colonial government and let them continue to serve as mercenaries.
This is also the practice in East India. Not only the colonial government, but also a conflict between two tribes. As long as one party surrenders and surrenders, the other party will put down the butcher's knife, recruit these surrendered personnel and continue to work for themselves.
Therefore, the East India troops were extremely brutal when performing their tasks, because they knew very well that they would probably not be punished more after the war.
But with mercenaries, this obviously doesn't work.
David doesn't care about the traditions of East India at all. Even if the Port of Medan needs free labor and more workers, David will not sell these people to Andy.
Otherwise it would be too unfair to those who were tortured and killed.
"If you need labor, just spend money to hire it. This is the job of your Adan Company, and it is the job of our Umbrella Company to deal with these prisoners of war. Not to mention that these prisoners will not end well if they are handed over to you, even if they work hard on the construction site.
Death can't make up for the mistakes they made. You didn't see those people who died in silence. No relatives were tortured and killed by these beasts, so there is no personal pain. We not only want to give justice to those who died innocently, but also want to
This is a warning to other troops of the East Indian colonial government not to point their guns at civilians at any time, otherwise they will pay the price." David was determined, even if the price Andy offered was good, David would not sell it. In fact, this was a routine operation in the past. In southern Africa, Port Elizabeth, and even Madagascar, this transaction was a major source of wealth for the umbrella company.
"David, be sensible. Killing them will not bring any benefits. Instead, it will have a negative impact on the umbrella. Sell them to me and let them work in the Port of Medan. I guarantee that they will live in endless regret in the future.
"I guarantee that they will all die miserably in the end, and no one will be able to leave the Port of Medan alive." Andy knew why David was so angry, mainly because those people massacred by the Second East India Division were all Chinese.<
/p>
Andy is also Chinese and knows what happened, but Andy is different from David. David is a soldier at heart, and Andy is a businessman at heart. Businessmen consider issues more based on interests, while soldiers are more direct.
Although southern Africa is improving the treatment of workers to a certain extent, it is undeniable that the mainstream of this era is still sweatshops.
The reason why Southern Africa is getting richer and richer is based on those dark mines, the harsh working environment of the Fawalt Steel and Cement Plant, the nameless corpses under the ever-extending railway tracks, and the ancestral homeland.
Not only has the population of Shandong not increased, but it has continued to decrease.
Otherwise, with the economic foundation of Southern Africa, there would be no ability to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction across the country, Roque would not be able to provide so many benefits to military families, and the salaries of Chinese and white workers would not be so high.
There has actually been controversy in southern Africa over whether to implement the death penalty.
Many people, including Roque, believe that imposing the death penalty on people who have committed capital crimes is actually a waste of human resources.
Therefore, those who should have been sentenced to death should be sentenced to life imprisonment, and then serve their sentences through hard work until the end of their lives. During this period, the wages due to the criminals should be paid to the victims or the parties whose interests were harmed to compensate for the losses.<
/p>
Last year, a prisoner who was sentenced to life imprisonment suddenly broke out in a mine and used rocks to beat another criminal who was about to be released from prison to death, causing an uproar.
Although the violent criminal was shot dead on the spot, the family members of the criminal who was killed were distraught. In the end, the prison authorities and the mining company jointly compensated the victim.
This incident triggered a controversy about the death penalty. Finally, the Ministry of Justice approved the reinstatement of the death penalty in southern Africa to avoid similar incidents and at the same time better safeguard the authority of the law.
East India is not southern Africa, so Andy thinks this matter can still be discussed.
"Andy, you have to be more sensible. These people are devils. You see that they are extremely obedient now, but in fact they are all disguises. You might as well go to the shores of Lake Toba and take a look. I think you will change your mind.
"If David doesn't change his mind, many people will die next, and everyone who deserves to die will die.
"David, what you said is meaningless. It is an objective fact that the Port of Medan needs more workers. Don't call them devils. In fact, the same is true for us. Didn't the Albatross cause civilian casualties when it bombed Xianda?" Andy
You're welcome, don't criticize anyone these days, no one is much more noble than others.
"Maybe, maybe not, this is unavoidable!" David said indifferently. Xienda was now in ruins, and there must have been civilian casualties, but there was no way to investigate this issue, and it was unavoidable in war.
What's more, for some people, life is really worse than death. Let alone death, life is better. Half of the poor women who were sent back to Medan the day before the mercenaries surrounded Xianda hanged themselves last night.
"470,000 square kilometers." Hicks sneered.
"470,000? God, Nyasaland isn't that big yet -" Middleton couldn't believe it. In fact, it didn't look that big on the map.
It’s really not that big, unless you include the area actually controlled by Nyasaland in the Congo Free State.
"So, now you know why I am willing to stay. I have discussed it with Ling Zhi. Have you seen these small islands next to me? The largest one is thousands of square kilometers, and the smallest one is only a few dozen square meters. He will help
I just need to buy one that is about the same size and can open up 1,800 acres of plantation, and then I will help him become a member of Congress of East India in the future." Hicks was thinking a bit far ahead, and now the members of Congress have all come out before he has even written a horoscope.
.
What Hicks was talking about was the long list of small islands next to Sumatra. If Rock knew about it, he would definitely not recommend Hicks to buy it. If Hicks settled his home on a small island, what if there was a tsunami or something like that?
But it’s big.
"What if it doesn't work?" Middleton is deliberately looking for trouble. It does sound impossible, but it depends on man-made efforts.
"Then just pretend we didn't say anything." Hicks smiled. The exchange of interests was just a tacit understanding. It was definitely impossible for him and Lexus to establish a written agreement or anything like that.
"I'm going to buy one too, and we'll be neighbors by then." Middleton was moved. If he couldn't be a member of Congress, it would be good to be an island owner.
