When the Walvis Bay Railway came to a standstill, construction in Walvis Bay was in full swing.

A very important reason for Roque's push for the Walvis Bay Railway was to facilitate the delivery of supplies to Europe through Walvis Bay during the World War, so that it could save more time, and products produced in southern Africa did not need to transit through Cape Town, but could be sent directly to Europe through Walvis Bay.

Construction of the Walvis Bay Railway coincided with the start of construction at a number of local plants in Walvis Bay, including a food processing plant belonging to a South African company, an assembly plant belonging to the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group, and a garment factory belonging to the Johannesburg Textile Company.

The area of Walvis Bay is not large, about 1,000 square kilometers, the population is less than 2,000, and before there was no railway connection to Bechuana, the only role of the British occupying Walvis Bay was to disgust the Germans.

The port of Walvis Bay is one of the few natural harbors in Southwest Africa, just like the Portuguese-occupied Soyo and Cabinda, without which Southwest Africa would not be able to play its full role, and the British would be able to choke Germany's throat.

Although the railway has not yet been built, but the railway station of Walvis Bay has been completed, according to the habit of southern Africa, the future Walvis Bay will radiate to the surrounding with the railway station as the center, so the railway around the railway station all have to go through the underground passage, which increases the difficulty of the project, but is more conducive to the future construction of the city.

"The land near the port will be expensive in the future, the dormitories of these workers, the future port workers can continue to live, the current urban area will be demolished and rebuilt, this will be the future commercial area of Walvis Bay, the residential area is far away from the port and the commercial area, reserve the land for urban supporting facilities, and build a complete underground pipe network system, this amount of work, with your ability to complete?" Howard Humphrey, senior manager of the South African company, is proud that in Walvis Bay, South African companies are just as strong, and South African companies are dominated by South African companies.

"We welcome you to build Walvis Bay, but we can't affect the interests of the people of Walvis Bay now, it's your business that you are willing to tear down the entire city and rebuild it, but you can't force the people of Walvis Bay to leave their homes by coercion, they have lived here for generations and have the right to live here." Bill Wycliffe, the mayor of Walvis Bay, argues that he was not appointed by Pretoria, but by the people of Walvis Bay.

According to the planning of the South African company, the current Walvis Bay should be completely renovated to adapt to the role of Walvis Bay in the future, which will definitely affect the lives of these Walvis Bay people now, there is no planning in Walvis Bay before, the houses are all built around the port, and ordinary fishing villages are similar, Bill Wycliffe's home is in the center of the only road in Walvis Bay, less than a kilometer away from the port, in the planning of the South African company, the location of Bill Wycliffe's home, the future will be built into a port office building.

"Generations? Are you telling jokes? Walvis Bay only became a British colony in 1878, before Walvis Bay did not belong to anyone, Germany recognized British ownership of Walvis Bay twenty years ago, and now Walvis Bay is part of Southern Africa, I am not discussing with you, but ordering you to accept the arrangement of the federal government, by the way, you can continue to serve as the mayor of Walvis Bay, but the mayor of Walvis Bay is the king, he is a top student of the University of Nyasaland, and he is more qualified to become the 'king' of Walvis Bay. Humphrey laughed, Wycliffe's words fooled the others, and it was a joke to fool Humphrey and the real southern Africans.

When the Federal Government of Southern Africa was established, Walvis Bay was also incorporated into Southern Africa as part of the Cape Colony, and the status of Walvis Bay was not important in the past, and Southern Africa did not care about the value of the enclave of Walvis Bay, but now the situation is different, after the railway is built, Walvis Bay will become the most important port in Southern Africa.

In terms of importance, Walvis Bay after the completion of the railway is more important than Cape Town, and similar to Port Edward.

After graduating from the University of Nyasaland, Wang worked well in Johannesburg, successively serving as the mayor's secretary, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the deputy mayor, so that he was qualified to come to Walvis Bay to serve as the mayor of Walvis Bay.

"Bastard, the future of Walvis Bay is decided by us Walvis Bay, not you outsiders." Wycliffe was horrified, but he didn't expect that Walvis Bay would be directly seized from power just after a little improvement.

"Accept our arrangement honestly, you will be happier than you are now, if you are going to resist violently, then you have to think about it." Humphrey coerced and lured that most of the residents of Walvis Bay were native to Southwest Africa, with less than 100 white households and a total population of less than 500, and it didn't cost much to settle these people.

Humphrey didn't come to Wycliffe alone, he also brought the mercenaries of the umbrella company, and now there are mercenaries with police dogs on the grass in front of Wycliffe's house, and behind Humphrey and Wang stood a tall and strong Slavic mercenary, his height was more than one meter nine, and his arms were thicker than Wycliffe's thighs.

This made Wycliffe's heart furious, although the shotgun on the wall was only a meter away from Wycliffe, almost within reach, but Wycliffe did not feel safe, even though it was in Wycliffe's home.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wilde, I just received the appointment of the Prime Minister half a month ago, listen to my Wycliffe, we have no ill will towards you, we just want to build a better Walvis Bay, I hope you can take the initiative to move out of your current home, I will build you a new house, and then give you a part of the cash compensation, if you want, you can also compensate in the form of land, of course it will not be land near Walvis Bay, if you want to continue fishing, I can also change to a new fishing boat, the kind that uses internal combustion engines, more efficient and faster-" Wilde and Humphrey sang one white-faced and the other red-faced, and the transformation of Walvis Bay was imperative, and Wycliffe had no ability to stop it.

"I don't want a farm, I don't want a fishing boat, I just want to live in my own home, I don't want to go." Wycliffe was not overjoyed, but felt a great humiliation, and although Wilde said it sounded, it was a serious offense to Wycliffe.

"Think about Bill, I'll be back tomorrow and hope to hear good news from you." Wilde is not going to add weight, about ten kilometers from the shore of Walvis Bay, a brand new town is about to be completed, Wilde will organize the residents of Walvis Bay to visit, and I believe that the vast majority of them will agree to relocate.

Even if a few people are reluctant to relocate, it will be easier to solve it.

When the Slav left Wycliffe's house, she made a grim throat-slitting gesture to Wycliffe, and Wycliffe suddenly felt cold.

Leaving Wycliffe's home and walking down a pothole-riddled road full of water and mud, Humphrey was in high spirits: "We're going to speed things up, the machine is already loaded from Cape Town and it's going to be in Walvis Bay soon, and we're going to get it done before the machine arrives at Walvis Bay." ”

"The development of Walvis Bay has been started since at least last year, why hasn't the transformation of the city been completed for so long?" Wilde was unhappy with Wycliffe, who had no big picture and no understanding of productivity, and such officials were being phased out.

"This is not the Transvaal, there was not enough money and manpower before, the building materials needed to renovate the city had to be transported from Cape Town, and the whole city was renovated after the railway was built, so it was normal for the progress to be slow." Humphrey complained that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and although Britain had not yet issued a mobilization order, southern Africa had actually begun to mobilize, and all aspects of work were suddenly accelerated on the original basis.

In fact, more than a year has actually achieved remarkable results, the port of Walvis Bay has been basically expanded from the original state to now, the port can dock 10,000-ton giant ships to meet the needs of the future, a hill not far from the port has been bulldozed, and a dormitory building has been built for more than 6,000 workers, the camp of the garrison has also been completed, and there will be at least one regiment of garrisons in Walvis Bay in the future, plus the railway station that has been completed, there are so many achievements in more than a year for the conditions of Walvis Bay has made rapid progress.

"We have a lot of work to do by Christmas because we have to move the residential area and the entire port area within next year." Wilde is not afraid of hard work, and after the completion of the entire urban transformation, Wilde's name will forever be associated with the city of Walvis Bay, which will be Wilde's eternal political achievement.

Now that Southern Africa is pushing for a civil bureaucracy, with a large number of conservative colonial officials taking a back seat, and young people gradually starting to move into leadership positions, Wilde knows that in the next few years, Southern Africa needs more, younger, and more capable officials, and if Wilde does well as mayor of Walvis Bay, the future is bright.

Mayor is certainly not the end of Wilde's career, Wilde is not yet thirty years old, and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future.

"What if someone doesn't want to relocate?" Humphrey wanted to determine Wilde's bottom line.

"No, I believe in the quality of the people of Walvis Bay, and they will definitely approve of the transformation of our city, so there will be no one who is unwilling." Wilde was indeed resolute.

Humphrey stopped talking nonsense, gave Wilde a thumbs up, and walked away with a group of mercenaries.

"Mr. Mayor, but the truth is that there are people who do not want to—" Wilde's secretary, who had just graduated from the University of Nyasaland this year, had not yet grasped what Wilde meant.

Or rather, they don't understand the cruelty of this world.

"I'm not going to go to Wycliffe tomorrow, and I'll leave this matter to you." Wilde has high requirements for secretaries, and these young people who have just come out of school can only understand the difference between school and society after being severely beaten by society.
