If you want to get by, you have to play stupid when you should be stupid.

Phyllis also knows that Philip and Owen are suspected of deliberately consuming Roque's influence, but this will not have an irreparable impact on Roque, after Philip becomes prime minister, Roque's power may be greater than now, and his position will be more stable, so there is really no need to be so clear.

Roque will also not break with Philip and Owen because of this, there have been people in Congress who have proposed restrictions on Chinese immigration, and it is precisely because of Philip and Owen's maintenance that the federal government will always subsidize Chinese immigration.

In next year's federal budget, immigration costs will still be 30 million rand, which is on par with the defence budget.

In addition to the federal budget, state governments will also allocate subsidies, and Nyasaland's budget for this next year will be similar to the federal government's budget, so that at least for next year, Southern Africa will be able to sustain the current mass migration.

This money will eventually be used to reimburse immigration expenses and help new immigrants build farms, and now the scale of Chinese immigration to southern Africa has not decreased, the number of white immigrants to southern Africa is also increasing, the smell of gunpowder in Europe is getting stronger and stronger, and more and more whites are beginning to realize the threat of war, and southern Africa is actually not a popular place for white European immigrants, the United States is.

One thing is very helpless, although the development of southern Africa is getting faster and faster, and the infrastructure is constantly improving, but in the hearts of white Europeans, Africa is still the ignorant black Africa, and the United States, which has basically eliminated the Indians, is the first choice of white Europeans.

The white people who are willing to immigrate to southern Africa, most of them have relatives and friends who have immigrated to southern Africa, and those elite talents who were hired to southern Africa by Roque with high salaries finally played a role, they really didn't know about southern Africa before they came to southern Africa, but after coming to southern Africa, they will 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 getting more and more perfect or even vaguely exceeding the European level, As well as the increasingly developed level of education and medical care, it is really a world of difference compared with the seemingly splendid Europe.

Crucially, living in southern Africa does not involve the threat of war.

This is not to say that there will be no peripheral wars in southern Africa, but even if war does, southern Africa will have the ability to keep the war out of its borders and not affect it in any way.

Such an environment is truly heaven compared to the state of Europe where you live in the shadow of war and the smog of the air every day.

So the vast majority of the elite are now settled in Southern Africa and will not return to Europe at all, and they will warmly recommend everything in Southern Africa to their relatives and friends who are still living in Europe, and many of them have come to Southern Africa in this context.

What is gratifying is that most of the relatives and friends of elite talents are elites, and university professors rarely have florist friends, even if they are kind to florists, 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, and these people have considerable social status and family wealth, and the subsidies given to these people by the federal government and state governments at all levels will also be appropriately tilted, and the subsidies will not be reduced because people are richer, and no one will get along with the money.

Of course, with the increasing number of immigrants, it will inevitably bring some new problems, the biggest one being the clash of cultures.

The Nyasaland government has handled this relatively well, and Cape Town now has a relatively clear Boer community, an English community, and a French or Slavic community.

Nyasalan isn't so distinct, and in Little Rock, communities are formed on the premise of a unit-based enterprise, more akin to Roque's familiar family home, rather than based on ethnicity or language.

In this way, there will indeed be some problems in the early stage, after all, the differences in language customs and living habits will definitely cause some collisions.

But over time, these problems will slowly ease.

As the saying goes, if you can't change the environment, then you have to try to adapt to it.

The Chinese in Nyasaland are actively learning English in order to better integrate into southern Africa, and the whites are also trying to learn Chinese in order to better integrate into Nyasaland, this is not to please anyone, nor is it forced to accept, even if you don't learn, you can live well in Nyasaland, but if you want to live well, you need more life skills, if you don't understand this, it's understandable, but under the premise that governments at all levels are emphasizing, they are still stubborn, so don't complain when you lose the opportunity.

Although he has not been away from Nyasaland for a long time, he has a refreshing feeling when he returns to Nyasaland.

Sitting on the balcony of Eagle Castle, it is clear that a brand new house has been built on the shore of Lake Nyasa not far away, and with the development of Little Rock, the residents' requirements for the living environment are getting higher and higher, and I don't know who was the first to paint the exterior wall of their house, and then more and more residents are following suit.

The government of Little Rock does not impose restrictions on the color of paint, so houses of various colors are very colorful, which is how Little Rock's other name, "Rainbow City", came about.

"Goma is less than two kilometers away from the border between Tanganyika and the Kingdom of Congo, less than fifty kilometers away from the East African protectorate, and has always been a three-regardless area, in fact, the Germans were the first to arrive in Goma, but Goma became a Belgian colony in the Berlin Conference, so the ownership of Goma has always been disputed, Goma's conditions are still very good, there are relatively mature rubber plantations, although it has been destroyed by the rebels, but it is not difficult to repair." Martin returned to Nyasaland earlier than Roque, and Pretoria now has only a few civilian services left, headed by Deputy Minister Derek Dodd.

"- Three days ago, Lutetai sent officials to Goma to demand that the Gomad army withdraw from Goma, but the Gomad army refused, our marine police have taken control of the entire Lake Kivu, the dock in Goma has been demolished, and the German occupation of Goma has no effect on us." Martin didn't care about the German army in Goma, and the occupation of Bukavu by the Northern Rhodesian Division was actually unjustifiable.

"Then leave them alone, what about Isaiah Chamberlain?" Roque asked whether there had been any conflict between the Kingdom of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo.

"There are still some skirmishes between the Kingdom of the Congo and the Republic of Congo, but they are not large in scale and will not rise to the level of war, but the Republic of Congo has had some friction with Portuguese West Africa recently, and Isaiah Chamberlain wants to pay for Soyo, but the Portuguese do not agree, so last week in Boma, the Republic of Congo and the Portuguese had a clash and more than a dozen people died on both sides, but they were all Africans, and there were no white casualties." Martin offers an unexpected situation.

Soyo is a port city in Portuguese West Africa, just at the mouth of the Congo River, about 40 kilometers from the Republic of Congo.

There's a reason why the Congo Free State's coastline is so small, at least 500 years ago, in 1482, when grape people arrived in Soyo to preach there.

Soyo then expanded and in the 16th century became an important Portuguese stronghold on the west coast of Africa, exporting mainly diamonds and slaves.

Stanley, the explorer personally sponsored by Leopold II, only came to the Congo Free State in 1879, so the Portuguese certainly wouldn't give the Belgians Soyo, which had been in business for hundreds of years.

The same is true of Cabinda, on the other side of the Congo Free State's mouth to the sea, and coincidentally, the Kingdom of Congo is now also experiencing some friction with the Portuguese over the ownership of Cabinda.

The Kingdom of the Congo is more radical than the Republic of the Congo, and the fact that the Kingdom of the Congo and Portugal have clashed in Cabinda on a number of occasions, and that Africans in Cabinda are also responding to the Kingdom of the Congo, confirms the fears of European countries about the rebellion in the Congolese Free State.

Since the outbreak of the rebellion 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 will affect the stability of the surrounding areas.

Fortunately, the Republic of Congo and the Kingdom of Congo are more sensible, and even if they toss, they only toss Portugal, which is the weakest, so Britain, France and Germany will not interfere by force.

"What does Portugal say?" Roque is not surprised, the lack of access to the sea is a hard injury, Cecil Rhodes racked his brains and did not get the sea, Roque did not hesitate to start a war for the sake of the sea, and the Transvaal and Orange lost so quickly because there was no access to the sea.

"The Portuguese are still more serious and have begun to increase their troops in Soyo and Cabinda." Martin applauded Portugal's toughness.

In fact, it is not much tough, Portugal reacted quickly because there is not much national defense pressure, look at the map to know, Portugal's land borders are surrounded by Spain, and the maritime part is also no pressure because the British blocked the English Channel, so it dared to increase troops to Portuguese West Africa, and Portugal is Belgium, and the security of the homeland must be considered first.

"Tell Isaiah Chamberlain not to rush, the port matter will naturally be resolved in a few years." Roque is not in a hurry, in fact, it is not only a natural harbor that can build a port, but the natural conditions are not suitable to make greater efforts, in the past, the technology was not advanced enough, so there is no ability, now there is no such problem, as long as you make up your mind, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

For the European powers, because they had too many resources at their disposal, they had more options.

For the Chinese, it is really not a high-pitched song to try all means to solve the problem at any time, but the wisdom of the nation that has lasted for thousands of years.
