None of the ten advertisements in British newspapers before the outbreak of the World War had as much impact as a boatload of potatoes today.

Human nature is always profitable, when the federal government gave money and land, few people were willing to immigrate to southern Africa, and now southern Africa has stopped publicity, canceled immigration benefits, and even does not reimburse ferry tickets, but more and more people take the initiative to immigrate to southern Africa.

Before the outbreak of the world war, because of the Congo Free State, relations between Belgium and southern Africa were very bad, and southern Africa was described by Belgian newspapers as hell on earth, and southern Africans were naturally the devil who came out of hell.

During the British Expeditionary Force's attack on Belgium, it was true that some Belgians were hostile, but more Belgians welcomed the British Expeditionary Force, and as more and more people learned about the officers and men of the Southern African Expedition, the attitude of the Belgians towards Southern Africa was also changing.

At the very least, in southern Africa, southern Africa is really not a small country like Belgium, where you can bully whoever you want, and in southern Africa, southern Africa is to bully whoever you want.

Southern Africa is also not as desolate and barren as the Belgian newspapers advertise, or it would not explain the increasing number of supplies related to southern Africa when Britain and France have been financially depleted.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force in Belgium is not the devil, they are strong, confident, educated and prosperous, in the case of the Belgian army collapsed for thousands of miles, most of the Belgian land fell, the British Expeditionary Force, which is dominated by southern African troops, rescued the Belgians from the iron hooves of the German army, so the goodwill came so unexpectedly.

"It's much more difficult to migrate now than it used to be, a lot of welfare policies for newcomers have been removed, a few of the more affluent states are no longer accepting newcomers, and the only options left for newcomers are Tanganyika and South West Africa – and now maybe the two river basins." Qin Ling didn't know much about immigration, and before he met Sophia, Qin Ling had never even expected to have a family.

Don't underestimate the temptation of a happy family for an orphan who has never felt the warmth of family.

"Tanganyika and South-West Africa seem to be German colonies—" Garcia had clearly done his homework, and the Belgians had a deep-seated fear of the Germans and the French, and whether the Germans were strong or the French were strong, Belgium was always the first to be unlucky.

Can the widows of a small country live well?

Hehe!

Even an ancient empire like the Ottoman Empire is said to fall, and unless it is a country like Switzerland, where the terrain is complex and all the people are soldiers, and there are no coveted strategic resources in the country, it is possible to survive if anyone dares to fight me.

"It used to be—" Qin Ling said succinctly.

Garcia Sophia and they didn't dare to confirm it, their eyes widened and waited for Qin Ling to explain.

"Southwest Africa and Tanganyika used to be German colonies, but now they are not, and we in Southern Africa have occupied Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, so we don't have to worry about the threat of the Germans." Qinling has confidence in the federal government of southern Africa.

In other words, Qin Ling has confidence in the Earl of Nyasaland.

"Occupying it now doesn't mean that it will belong to Southern Africa forever—" Garcia was not as easy as Qinling.

Qin Ling frowned and thought about it, before he understood Garcia's cautious hesitation.

"Rest assured, no one can take the land we occupy in southern Africa from us." Qinling's domineering side leaks, and the small country and widows are indeed unable to understand Qinling's big country mentality.

"That's fantastic, we still have a little savings at home, and I'll go to Harry in a few days to see if we can sell the house so we can scrape together the cost of the journey to southern Africa." Garcia made up his mind and did not intend to rely entirely on Qin Ling, a cheap uncle.

Qin Ling didn't speak, and he would definitely help if he could, but it mainly depended on Sophia's family's own efforts.

On Christmas Day, the 2nd Cavalry Division was on holiday in addition to combat readiness duty, and the flea market next to the Antwerp barracks opened on time, which was regarded as a rare entertainment by the soldiers of the expeditionary force and the citizens of Antwerp.

Qin Ling was not in the mood to go to the flea market, so he returned to the camp and went directly to the company commander Gao Shan.

"You're sending Sophia's family to southern Africa?" Gao Shan has a strange expression, there are many battlefield couples like Qin Ling and Sophia in the Second Cavalry Division, and some people have so-called confidants in almost every city, but there are not many people like Qin Ling, most of them go their separate ways after a romantic affair.

"Yes, Sophia's family is having a hard time in Antwerp—" Qin Ling is a responsible person.

"Brother, listen to me, you don't have to be like this at all, I know Sophia is very good, but you deserve better, those little nurses in the field hospital are not good? Helen just asked about you, you are their big hero. "Gao Shan is bitter, 265 results are not something that any accurate shooter can do, after the war, people like Qin Ling will rush to ask for it no matter which unit they go to.

Helen is a doctor in the military hospital where Qin Ling is located, a student at the Johannesburg Medical School, and she will rush to any hospital after the war, so in Gao Shan's opinion, there is really no need for Qin Ling to hang himself on Sophia's crooked neck tree.

"For me, Sophia is the best fit." Qin Ling knew what he wanted, if Helen was willing to marry Qin Ling as a housewife after the war, of course Qin Ling would consider it, but that was obviously impossible, Helen had her own life, she didn't need to rely on anyone, and she wouldn't rely on anyone.

After the outbreak of the World War, the status of women in southern Africa has been rising, more than 80 percent of the two positions of doctors and nurses in the expeditionary force are women, the arsenals of southern Africa have begun to recruit female workers, and there are more and more female employees at all levels of government.

In this way, of course, it will also lead to some other social problems, how to deal with these problems is a new topic for governments at all levels, Qinling does not need a strong woman as a wife, just wants a warm family.

"Don't be stupid, brother, if you send Sophia's family to southern Africa, you should know what that means." Gao Shan's gaze at Qin Ling was full of pity.

"I know—" Qin Ling was resolute, and there was no room for relaxation on this issue.

"Okay then, I'll help you ask and see when there is a place for the ship to go back." Takayama has fulfilled his obligation to persuade his superiors and friends, and the next thing is to help.

"By the way, are there any cheaper farms in Tanganyika?" Qin Ling thought a lot, this is to help the horse and give it a ride.

"You want to buy a farm?" Takayama's expression was devastated.

"Yes—"

"Think clearly, brother, you bought the farm, if it happens, bah blah-" Takayama suddenly shut up.

There is no whatever, Qinling has no family, and if Qinling unfortunately dies in battle, then Qinling's property will be taken by Sophia.

Qin Ling didn't speak, and gestured on his stomach.

"Got a baby?" Takayama was surprised.

Qin Ling nodded.

"That's really going to have to be sent away—" Takayama immediately changed his attitude, but then questioned: "Brother—"

"Don't think about it, it's not so messy-" Qin Ling knew what Gao Shan was worried about, but this worry was unnecessary, now in Antwerp, there were few men in the entire city except for the expeditionary officers and soldiers.

The destructive power of the war was so bad, after the outbreak of the world war, Belgium was mobilized as soon as possible, and most of the men were forced to join the army.

After Antwerp was occupied by the Germans, more than half of the remaining men were forcibly recruited as laborers, and the remaining men in Antwerp are either old men like Garcia or children like Tony who have not yet grown up.

"Then what are you hesitating about, congratulations brother, no matter whether the child is male or female, I will be the child's godfather, you don't object to this." Gao Shan is very happy for his brother, the current godfather has not been played badly, he is a pure godfather.

"Then you'll find me a good farm." Qin Ling is even happier, with a child, Qin Ling has roots in this world, no matter how far he goes, he will never forget the way home.

"Don't worry, I'll call Yasuo, I must leave the best farm to our brother, how big are you going to buy?" There are ways in the mountains, the welfare of the military in southern Africa is very good, most of the farms in Tanganyika are not for sale, they are reserved for the officers and soldiers of the expedition who are still fighting in Europe, and through the military service society, it is very simple and cheap to buy farms.

"How much is an acre?" Qinling did what he could.

"Farms in Tanganyika are more expensive, like 1.5 rand a acre, and farms in South West Africa and Port Elizabeth are cheaper, almost one rand a acre." Gao Shan casually reported that this price is a special benefit for soldiers, and new immigrants are not even eligible to buy it, not to mention enjoying preferential prices.

"Buy Tanganyika, 300 acres, no, 400-" Qinling seized the opportunity, 400 acres, about 2,400 acres-

Even in southern Africa, they are proper small landowners.

"Awesome, my brother, have you saved so much during this time?" Takayama was amazed that the 400 acres of Tanganyika cost about 600 rand, which would take almost six years to earn if he had earned a salary honestly.

"Isn't it amazing? How many likes have you liked? "Qin Ling is not too proud, the expeditionary force is up and down, any one of them has already saved three or five hundred rands now, and there will only be more officers like Gao Shan.

Don't forget that the 2nd Cavalry Division participated in the entire war against the Ottoman Empire before moving to Belgium, think of the accumulation of more than 1,700 years of the Ottoman Empire.

Suddenly, it felt like 600 rand was a bit less.
