In just a few days, Roque took Ade all over Nyasaland, like a little accomplished child who couldn't wait to show his achievements to his elders.

At the Nyasaland Automobile Plant, Ade visited the assembly line of automobiles, which Roque had set up according to Ford's assembly line model, which can be said to represent the highest level of industrial assembly today.

Ade didn't understand the meaning of the assembly line, but the entire orderly workshop that performed its duties still surprised Ade.

Most factories of this era can be described as "dirty, messy, and poor", and many factories in Europe also use child and female labor, and workers are basically not protected from even the most dangerous jobs.

Nyasaland is much better, because of Roque's strict requirements, the assembly workshop of the automobile factory is clean and tidy, there is almost no clutter on the ground, there will certainly be no cobwebs on the walls and roof, there is an assembly workshop with an area of thousands of square meters, the noise is actually not big, the workers are wearing uniform uniforms, the uniforms are not new, but clean and tidy, the workers are still wearing masks, and there are no overseers with whips and sticks in sight, which is different from the factory in Ade's impression.

The Nyasaland Automobile Plant is now able to produce more than 50 cars a day, which are exported to the United Kingdom, France and India, in addition to southern Africa, and although the cars produced in Nyasaland are almost twice as expensive as those produced in Europe, the demand for cars in Nyasaland is still in short supply.

Of course, Roque will not be stingy with Ade, and gives Ade a new Diesel sedan produced in Nyasaland on the spot.

The Diesel sedan is named after Rudolph Diesel Cars, which is a very common practice in Europe, in fact, under normal circumstances, the name of the Diesel Cars should be "Rock Sedan", but Roque feels that this name is awkward, so Roque simply uses Rudolph Diesel surname.

Although the "Tiger" military car is also good, after all, the appearance is too rough and does not meet the aesthetic level of dignitaries, so Roque changed the shell of the "Tiger" military car and doubled the price to sell it to the outside world, and the result was very popular.

For those dignitaries, there is basically not much difference between 3,000 pounds and 6,000 pounds, and the Nyasaland Automobile Factory now has a custom model that can inlay the customer's specified pattern on the body, a one-foot square silver pattern, the price is more than a thousand pounds, if you want gold, then the price will be more expensive.

Even so, the Nyasaland Automobile Factory could not satisfy the needs of the local aristocracy, and some preferred to add a gold and diamond pattern to the body of the car by 10,000 pounds.

Of course, this kind of business Nyasaland Automobile Factory will not refuse, and if it wants gold and precious stones, Itno has to be, so Nyasaland Automobile Factory cooperated with Itno to jointly launch a "Lord Car" specifically for local nobles.

It is said that now the order for the Lord car has been scheduled for two years later.

Of course, Roque was not stingy with Ade, and had prepared a Lord car with a silver badge for Ade early on, and it was Viscount Helewood's badge inlaid on the body.

Ade did not refuse Roque's kindness this time, and gladly accepted Roque's gift, and then Ade and Roque also went to Ulysses with Roque to participate in the launching ceremony of the "North Sea".

The Ulysses shipyard built the "North Sea", which took four months to build.

This time is indeed a bit long, during World War II, the United States produced aircraft carriers, and it only took a month to produce one.

However, this is not easy for the Ulysses shipyard, through the construction of the "Beihai", the Ulysses shipyard has accumulated a large number of skilled workers, and it is believed that when the construction of the "Donghu" begins, the time will be much faster than the construction of the "Beihai".

Compared with the "Beihai", the "Donghu" has been improved.

It was only when the "Beihai" was about to be built that Roque discovered that as a destroyer, the "Beihai" was not equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, so Roque urgently asked the shipyard design department to install two twin-mounted antiaircraft machine guns on the "Donghu" for future air defense operations.

Roque's idea was questioned by the shipyard's engineers.

The engineers also have a good reason, for the current navy, there is no threat from the air at all, so there is no need to equip warships with anti-aircraft machine guns at all.

The explanation given by Roque is difficult to convince, in fact, the current army has anti-aircraft machine guns, because many artillery units are equipped with hot air balloons for reconnaissance and monitoring, so some units will be equipped with large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns to defend against the enemy's air threat.

Hot air balloons are mainly used for artillery observation and correction, and there is no need for such a thing as a hot air balloon in the navy, so the shipyard engineers insist that there is no need for destroyers to be equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns at all.

So Roque could only call the designers of the Ulysses shipyard and the engineers of the Little Rock Flight Research Institute to a meeting to inform each other of the progress of their respective research, and to prove that the future navy would face a serious threat from the air, so it was necessary for the destroyer to be equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns.

However, this was again questioned by the shipyard engineers, on the grounds that since the aircraft was developed by Nyasaland itself, there was no need for the Nyasaland Marine Police to be equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns.

Roque didn't talk nonsense this time, and directly demanded in the form of an order, no longer engaging in any brainstorming, and there was nothing to say to these short-sighted otaku.

However, Roque still fully considered the opinions of the shipyard designers, since the Nyasaland Marine Police would not be threatened from the air in a short time, then the anti-aircraft machine gun should have the ability to fire horizontally, so that even if it could not encounter the enemy's aircraft, the anti-aircraft machine gun could be fully effective.

Don't underestimate the anti-aircraft machine gun, in fact, the anti-aircraft machine gun is an enlarged version of the heavy machine gun, the range is longer, the power is greater, when there is no aircraft to fight, it can be used to hit the infantry, or to fight the tank, the future anti-aircraft machine guns are all high-level dual-purpose, but now they can only air defense, in fact, many things can be solved as long as you change your thinking.

Ade was clearly changing his mind, and after attending the launching ceremony of the "North Sea", Ade and Roque returned to Little Rock, thoughtful along the way.

Roque and Ade returned to Little Rock aboard the yacht Lord Nyasaland, a yacht specially made for Roque by Ulysses Shipyard.

Speaking of yachts, in fact, the weapons equipped on the "Lord Nyasaland" are not weak, from the appearance, the "Lord Nyasaland" and the "North Sea" have almost the same dimensions, in addition to not being equipped with 76 mm rapid-fire guns, the "Lord Nyasaland" is also equipped with four 40 mm rapid-fire guns, when necessary, the "Lord Nyasaland" also has terrifying firepower.

Of course, this "horrifying" is only relative to southern Africa.

Ade had previously known that Nyasaland owned the arsenal, and that the machines for the arsenal had been ordered by Ade from the British Royal Arms and Light Arms Company.

However, in Ade's impression, the Nyasaland Arsenal could only produce the Martini Henry rifle, which had been obsolete in Britain, and could not produce advanced weapons.

So when he heard Roque introduce that all the weapons used on the "North Sea" were all self-produced in Nyasaland, Ade's mood was still a little complicated.

"Roque, what is your position for the future of Nyasaland?" Ade found that he now knew less and less about Roque, and many of Roque's actions seemed to Ade beyond the scope of what a baron should be.

"Nyasaland will be a paradise for the Chinese in Africa, and at the same time the last refuge for the British in southern Africa – of course I don't want that to happen, but if there is a need in the future, then I don't think Nyasaland will stand idly by." Roque didn't say it too explicitly, believing that Ade could understand.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ade's mood became even more entangled: "Do you think that the situation in southern Africa has reached such a dangerous point?" ”

"Of course not yet, I'm just planning ahead." Roque certainly wouldn't describe to Ade how miserable the white people of southern Africa would be in the future.

In that case, maybe Ade will be ruthless now, and all the hidden dangers will be removed.

Don't think that Ade can't do such a thing, the colonial mentality is terrible, they usually don't make mistakes, and it's not uncommon for them to do anything against humanity for a seemingly legitimate reason.

"You're too pessimistic, southern Africa won't develop to that extent, and it's going to get to that point, and all of us today should be held responsible." Ade doesn't trust Roque's judgment.

For now, no one would believe that the Boers have now accepted that the situation in Orange has not fundamentally improved, but at least the Boers have begun to rebuild their homes, and this is a good start.

As for Africans, in the impression of many white people, Africans are slaves who have not yet been fully civilized, they are not dangerous at all, they are hard-working, submissive, and if Roque describes how arrogant Africans are in the 21st century, I am afraid that everyone will think that Roque is crazy.

"So in order to prevent something unspeakable, all of us have to work it." Roque still hopes that Ade will stay, if it doesn't work once, twice, if it doesn't work twice, three times, as long as Roque keeps emphasizing the problems of southern Africa, then sooner or later Ade will be brainwashed by Roque.

"I know what you mean, but—give me a little more time—" Ade's attitude had loosened considerably, and victory was in sight.

On Christmas Day, German Foreign Minister Bilov arrived in Nyasaland to begin a month-long visit to Nyasaland.

Ade was in charge of receiving Bilov as the king's plenipotentiary, and Roque was of course to accompany him.
