If you want to live a good life, you have to act stupid when it's time to act stupid.
Phyllis also knew that Philip and Owen were suspected of deliberately consuming Roque's influence, but this would not have an irreparable impact on Roque. After Philip became prime minister, Roque's power might be greater than it is now, and his status would be lower.
It will be more stable, so there is really no need to break it off so clearly.
Roque will also not break with Philip and Irving because of this matter. Some people in Congress have been proposing restrictions on Chinese immigration. It is precisely because of Philip and Irving's continuous protection that the federal government will continue to subsidize Chinese immigrants.
In next year's federal budget, immigration costs will still reach R30 million, which is as much as the national defense budget.
In addition to the federal government's budget, various state governments will also allocate subsidies. Nyasaland's budget for this area next year is similar to the federal government's budget, so at least next year, southern Africa can maintain the current large-scale immigration.
This money will eventually be used to reimburse immigration expenses and help new immigrants build farms. Now the scale of Chinese immigrants to southern Africa has not shrunk, and the number of white immigrants to southern Africa is also increasing. The smell of European gunpowder is getting stronger, and more and more people
White people began to realize the threat of war. In fact, southern Africa was not a popular destination for European white immigrants, but the United States was.
One thing is very frustrating. Although southern Africa is developing faster and faster and its infrastructure is constantly improving, in the hearts of white Europeans, Africa is still the ignorant black Africa. The United States, which has basically eliminated the Indians, is the one.
The first choice of white Europeans.
Most of the white people who are willing to immigrate to Southern Africa are insiders who have relatives and friends who have immigrated to Southern Africa. Those elite talents who were previously hired by Rock with high salaries to Southern Africa have finally come into play. Before they came to Southern Africa, they really had no idea about Southern Africa.
I understand, but after coming to Southern Africa, I can’t help but fall in love with everything in Southern Africa, whether it is the green mountains and green waters outside the city, or the urban infrastructure that is becoming more and more complete and even vaguely surpasses European standards.
As well as the increasingly developed education and medical standards, it is really a world of difference compared to Europe, which seems to be a patchwork of things.
The most important thing is that living in southern Africa does not require you to consider the threat of war.
This is not to say that neighboring wars will not break out in southern Africa, but even if a war breaks out, southern Africa has the ability to control the war outside the country, and the mainland will not be affected in any way.
This kind of environment, compared with the state of Europe where people live in fear every day in the shadow of war and air haze, it is really a paradise.
Therefore, the vast majority of elite talents have now settled in southern Africa and will never return to Europe. They will enthusiastically recommend everything about southern Africa to their relatives and friends who are still living in Europe. Many people come to southern Africa because of this background.
What is gratifying is that most of the relatives and friends of elite talents are from the elite class. University professors rarely have gardener friends. Even if they are friendly to gardeners, it is because of the politeness shown by their own cultivation, not the relationship of friends.
.
Therefore, most of the white people who have immigrated to southern Africa are elites. These people have considerable social status and family wealth. The subsidies given to these people by the federal government and state governments at all levels will be appropriately skewed, not because of their comparison.
If you have money, reduce subsidies, and no one will have trouble with money.
Of course, with the increasing number of immigrants, some new problems will inevitably arise. The biggest problem is cultural conflict.
The Nyasaland state government has handled this aspect relatively well. Cape Town now has relatively clear Boer communities, British communities, French communities or Slavic communities.
Nyasaland is not so clearly divided. In Little Rock specifically, the premise for the formation of communities is unit enterprises, which are more similar to the kind of family homes that Rock is familiar with, rather than based on race or language.
In this way, some problems will indeed arise in the early stage. After all, differences in language customs, living habits, etc. will definitely cause some conflicts.
But as time goes by, these problems will gradually alleviate.
As the saying goes, if you are unable to change the environment, then you must work hard to adapt to the environment.
The Chinese in Nyasaland are actively learning English in order to better integrate into southern Africa, and the white people are also working hard to learn Chinese in order to better integrate into Nyasaland. This is not to please anyone, nor is it forced to accept, even if it is not
You can live well in Nyasaland by studying, but if you want to live well, you need more life skills. There is nothing wrong if you don’t understand this, but you are still stubborn even though governments at all levels are emphasizing it.
If you have your own opinion, don't blame others when you lose an opportunity.
Although he had not been away from Nyasaland for a long time, Rock felt refreshed when he returned to Nyasaland.
Sitting on the balcony of Eagle Castle, I can clearly see that a new residential area has been built on the shores of Lake Niassa not far away. With the development of Little Rock, residents have higher and higher requirements for the living environment.
I don’t know who was the first to paint the exterior walls of his house, and then more and more residents followed suit.
The Little Rock City Government does not restrict the color of paint, so the houses of various colors are very colorful. This is how Little Rock's other name "Rainbow City" comes.
"Goma is less than two kilometers away from the border between Tanganyika and the Kingdom of Congo, and less than 50 kilometers away from the East African Protectorate. It has always been a neglected area. In fact, the Germans were the first to arrive in Goma, but during the Berlin Conference Goma became the Belgian
It is a human colony, so the ownership of Goma has always been controversial. The conditions in Goma are still very good, and there are relatively mature rubber plantations. Although it has been destroyed by the rebels, it is not difficult to repair it." Martin Biro
Grams returned to Nyasaland earlier, and now only a few civilian departments remain in Pretoria, headed by Deputy Minister Derek Dodd.
"-Three days ago, Lu Taitai sent officials to Goma to ask the German troops to withdraw from Goma, but the German troops refused. Our marine police have controlled the entire Lake Kivu, and the docks in Goma have been demolished and occupied by the German troops.
Goma has no impact on us." Martin didn't care about the German troops in Goma. The occupation of Bukavu by the Northern Rhodesian Division was actually unjust and unjust.
"Then leave them alone. How about Isaiah Chamberlain?" Rock asked if there was any conflict between the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo.
"There are still some minor conflicts between the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo, but the scale is not large and will not rise to the level of war. However, the Republic of Congo has recently had some friction with Portuguese West Africa. Isaiah Chamberlain wants to pay for Soyo.
But the Portuguese did not agree, so last week there was a conflict between the Republic of Congo and the Portuguese in Boma. More than a dozen people were killed on both sides, but they were all Africans and there were no white casualties." Martin provided an accident.
Condition.
Soyo is a port city in Portuguese West Africa, located at the mouth of the Congo River, about 40 kilometers away from the Republic of the Congo.
There is actually a reason why the Congo Free State has such a long coastline. At least five hundred years ago, in 1482, the Portuguese arrived in Soyo and conducted missionary work there.
After that, the scope of Soyo gradually expanded, and in the 16th century it became an important stronghold of the Portuguese on the west coast of Africa, mainly exporting diamonds and slaves.
Stanley, the explorer personally sponsored by Leopold II, only came to the Congo Free State in 1879, so the Portuguese would definitely not give Soyo, which had been operating for hundreds of years, to the Belgians.
The same situation exists in Cabinda on the other side of the Congo Free State's outlet. Coincidentally, the Kingdom of Congo is now having some friction with the Portuguese because of Cabinda's ownership.
Compared with the Republic of Congo, the Kingdom of Congo is more radical. Now many conflicts have broken out between the Kingdom of Congo and Portugal in Cabinda. Some Africans in Cabinda are also responding to the Kingdom of Congo. This confirms the European countries' support for the freedom of Congo.
Concerns caused by state rebellion.
Ever since the rebellion broke out in the Congo Free State, Britain, France, Germany and Portugal have been very concerned about the situation in the Congo Free State, fearing that the rebellion in the Congo Free State would affect the stability of surrounding areas.
Fortunately, both the Republic of the Congo and the Kingdom of the Congo know how to deal with the situation. Even if they try hard, they will only bother Portugal, which is the weakest. Therefore, Britain, France and Germany will not intervene with force.
"What did Portugal say?" Roque was not surprised. The lack of an outlet to the sea was a flaw. Cecil Rhodes racked his brains and failed to get an outlet to the sea. Roark was willing to launch a war in order to gain access to the sea. The Transvaal and Transvaal
Orange lost so quickly because it had no access to the sea.
"The Portuguese still take it seriously and have begun to send more troops to Soyo and Cabinda." Martin expressed his appreciation for Portugal's toughness.
In fact, it is not that tough. Portugal responded quickly because there was not much national defense pressure. Looking at the map, you can see that Portugal's land borders are surrounded by Spain, and there is no pressure on the maritime part because the British blocked the English Channel, so they dared to attack Portuguese West Africa.
When increasing troops, if it were Portugal or Belgium, the security of the homeland should also be considered first.
"Tell Isaiah Chamberlain not to worry, the port issue will be solved in a few years." Rock is not in a hurry. In fact, it is not only natural harbors that can build ports, but if the natural conditions are not suitable, greater efforts will be made. In the past, it was technology
We are not advanced enough, so we are incapable. This problem does not exist now. As long as we are determined, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
For the European powers, because they have too many resources, they have more choices.
For the Chinese, they must try their best to solve problems at any time. This is really not a high-profile statement, but the wisdom of the nation that has lasted for thousands of years.
