The refugees in Nyasaland are housed in a refugee settlement near the North Sea border, which is also a three-way area, with the Congo Free State to the north, Nyasaland to the south and Tanganyika to the east.

Since the outbreak of the rebellion in the Congo Free State, more than 1,300 refugees have taken refuge in Nyasaland through various means, which is unpleasant.

This situation made Feng Xun, who was in charge of managing the refugee camp, feel very bad.

"We don't have enough medicine and food, we don't have enough tents, and we have to apply for more reinforcements, but there are less than 30 of the 1,300 people here, and most of them are policemen. Feng Xun's partner Lu Shen is a second lieutenant in the border guards, and the military top brass originally thought that most of the refugees were women and children, so they sent female policemen to facilitate management, but they didn't expect this to be the case.

Fortunately, when these refugees entered the camp, all their weapons were confiscated, otherwise there would have been more hidden dangers.

"Food is easy to manage, don't think about medicines, we don't have extra medicines-" It's not Feng Xun cold-blooded, it's really that the production of drugs is seriously insufficient in these years, the price is very expensive, the number of doctors in the past is very small, in recent years, with the graduation of students from Johannesburg Medical School, the shortage of doctors has finally been alleviated to a certain extent, but the shortage of drugs will not change in a short time.

"I want to get all the men here back to the Congo Free State, and they should go back to fight the rebels, instead of hiding in a refugee camp like a coward." Lu Shen looked at the men who had nothing to do and were wandering around the refugee camp with a gloomy expression.

In fact, this situation is unavoidable, after all, men still have physical advantages, and when they encounter rebels, they can run faster, and the chance of escape is naturally greater.

The problem is that in the face of disaster, it is not the family that escapes in the first place, but the man who runs away alone is too despicable, and the rebellion is a demon mirror, there are soldiers like Led Bobby who fought and died, and there are also cowards who shamelessly escaped from the refugee camp.

In fact, it is not only the Belgians, but also the British, Cape Town's Oak Town used to be called "Coward's City", and the garrison there was all deserters who did not perform well on the battlefield, hence the shameful name of Oak Town.

"It's their own choice, and hopefully they won't be condemned by their conscience for the rest of their lives." Feng Xun also looked down on these people, even the women and children in the refugee camp, these people did not have the right to live in tents, and the food they received every day was one kilogram of potatoes per person, not even a little meat.

"All the men come and gather, come and gather—" A manager took a list and asked all the men in the camp to gather, which was the idea that Feng Xun and Lu Shen came up with, Nyasaland could not support these people for nothing, and let them work in exchange for the right to take refuge in Nyasaland, including women and children, and also do what they could.

This is also a necessary operation, so many young adults in the refugee camp who have nowhere to vent their energy, something will definitely happen after a long time, so we must find a way to keep them busy, just like the soldiers in the army have to carry out large-scale exercise training every day, training is only one purpose, and strength is another purpose.

Otherwise, there are very few disturbances in the military in southern Africa, and the soldiers are so tired from training every day that they fall asleep as soon as their heads are dipped into the pillow, and naturally they have no energy to think nonsense.

"What's the matter?"

"Can't you just let us get some rest—"

"Are you going to eat?"

The refugees complained that this group was the group with the most negative information, and that the visionary and capable people, who had left the Congo Free State before the outbreak of the rebellion, had neither the foresight nor the ability to protect themselves and their families after the rebellion, and that their only hope was the daily meal time.

"Don't speak, line up in four columns in front of me, do you know what a four-column column is? Stand still, don't speak—" The male policeman who maintained order was hoarse, but it didn't have much effect, many people here didn't understand English, and they didn't know what a four-column horizontal line was, and they couldn't keep their mouths shut, and the scene was like a vegetable market.

"Quiet, who understands English, stand up." Feng Xun was decisive, this kind of noisy scene was the most likely to cause accidents, although the surrounding policemen were all carrying guns, but more than 30 people against more than 1,300 people, a few pistols really didn't have much effect.

"I know—"

"My father was British."

"I speak English, French and Dutch at the same time—"

Immediately, dozens of people came forward, and the common languages of Belgium are French and Dutch, and German also has a wide coverage, so many Belgians can be called language experts, and it is normal to know three or four languages.

"Very well, now you listen, we are going to divide you into groups, each of you is responsible for managing ten to fifteen people, and from today onwards you will have to work in exchange for your daily food and the right to take refuge in Nyasaland." Feng Xun has many methods, and it is the royal way to control raze, there is no need to reason with these refugees, if they are reasonable people, they will not leave their families and run away alone.

"Let's work? It's too much! ”

"I don't work at home—"

"Just the pig food you gave us—"

The latter sentence immediately won a chorus, all complaining about how unpalatable potatoes are, and few people mind whether the definition of "pig food" is appropriate.

"People who don't accept jobs can leave the camps now and don't have to think about returning to Nyasaland without permission, as you should know, Nyasaland is not a Congo Free State." Feng Xun doesn't talk nonsense, the vast majority of farmers in Nyasaland are Chinese, and white people who do not have Nyasaland ID cards cannot move an inch in Nyasaland, and they will be arrested by the police in minutes.

In Nyasaland, too, there is no attempt to resist, as the status of the police throughout Southern Africa is very high, and if the police are in the line of duty, they can shoot the rebels directly without any criminal responsibility.

Compared to returning to the Congo Free State, the work was not unacceptable immediately, the next step was to divide and then distribute the work, and today's task was to level the land around the camp while also building about a public latrine.

It has to be said that the hygiene habits of these people are really not very good, the camp is next to the Rusi River, the first refugees to enter Nyasaland have been more than ten days, and few people have taken the initiative to bathe in the river for ten days, on the grounds that there are crocodiles or pythons in the river, which will pose a danger to their personal safety.

What a magical reason, in Nyasaland, crocodiles and pythons are not threats but wealth at all, in the past, Nyasaland was also full of crocodile pythons, now the number of these large wild animals has been reduced to the extent that they need to be raised, the favorite thing for farmers in Nyasaland is to team up to find crocodiles, an adult crocodile can be sold for about twenty rands as long as it is basically intact whether it is alive or dead, this is not a small number, although hunting crocodiles is dangerous, but the farm owners are many and powerful, and have powerful weapons, That's why the number of crocodiles is decreasing so quickly.

When the men repair the toilets, the women and children are cleaning, and more than 1,000 people produce a lot of various household garbage every day, and the most common is the urine and urine that can be seen everywhere in the remote corners, and it can be seen that many people are very resistant to this work, but it is not unacceptable.

In the Congo Free State, these jobs are all done by Africans, and now there are no Africans to enslave, so they have to do it themselves, and some people have an emotional breakdown and sit on the ground and cry bitterly, but after crying, they still have to work, and if they don't work, they will have no food.

It was lunch time two hours later, and today's lunch was good, the men were each given a boiled salted fish in addition to the potatoes, and the women and children were given two pieces of milk candy from Johannesburg in addition to the salted fish.

Belgian chocolate is still very famous, in the past, the production of milk candy in southern Africa, the Belgians are estimated to not even look at it, now the milk candy has become a rare luxury, the price of sugar is still very expensive, the main economic pillar before the independence of the East India is sugar, now this part of the profit is monopolized by the East India Company, the price of sugar in southern Africa has dropped sharply, which has improved the quality of milk candy.

The main problem is whether it is sweet or not, in the past, Johannesburg's toffee production was also very high, but the sugar was less, so it was not very sweet, and the market sales were not very good.

Now that there is more cane sugar, sales of toffee are gradually rising, and over time, toffee will become a specialty of southern Africa.

By midevening, a river transport ship from the Nyasaland Agricultural Company arrived with more supplies and a hundred temporarily conscripted joint defence members.

In Southern Africa, the United Defence Force (IDF) is a strong complement to the Defence Force, especially in border states like Nyasaland, where almost every adult male is a member of the Joint Defence Force, a semi-professional paramilitary organization, many of whom are retired military personnel of the Defence Force and the Umbrella Company.

This time, the joint defense team came to support, and the officer who led the team was Robert who retired from the Wehrmacht, who had previously served in the 3rd Division in Cape, and after the 3rd Division was dismantled, Robert did not choose to go to the newly formed division as an officer, nor did he refuse the invitation of the police department, but retired directly and returned to the farm on the shore of Lake Niasa to live a happy life of chopping wood and feeding horses.

"Thank you for coming, Chief Robert—" Feng Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief, with the arrival of these joint defense members, the policewomen could leave, the current refugee camp was too dangerous for the policewomen.

Let the woman go first when there is danger, and this is the difference between Nyasaland and the Congo Free State.
