In previous operations, the Anzac suffered the heaviest casualties, accounting for almost 60 percent, and in the Anzac Bay alone, 15,000 Anzac officers and soldiers were spilled on the battlefield.

After the Battle of the Dardanelles, the lightly wounded have been transferred to Cyprus to recuperate, the seriously wounded have been sent home, and many of the seriously wounded have chosen to go to southern Africa, not necessarily immigrants, perhaps just to see and learn more about southern Africa.

Roque believes that as long as they go to southern Africa, maybe they will change their minds, after the outbreak of the world war, more and more people take the initiative to immigrate to southern Africa, the price of farms in almost all states of southern Africa has risen significantly, and Natal, which was previously uncared for, has also become a sweet and sweet, and Tanganyika, which has just been occupied after the outbreak of the world war, is the most popular, but new immigrants are not eligible to buy farms in Tanganyika, and the farms in Tanganyika have been divided up before the war is over, Once again, the Nyasaland and South African companies were the big winners, with more than 10 million hectares of land owned by the two companies.

In Dar es Salaam, which has been renamed "St. George", migrant boats arrive almost every day, and new immigrants have to quarantine on the island of Zanzibar for 14 days before being allowed to go ashore, and in 1914, the standards of hygiene requirements in southern Africa are getting higher and higher, the risk of infectious diseases is decreasing, and last year there were outbreaks of plague in both the Republic of the Congo and the Kingdom of the Congo during the rainy season, and Nyasaland and Rhodesia, which are closest to the Kingdom of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo, were not affected, thanks to the strict requirements of the Ministry of Health.

At the beginning of the establishment of the federal government, the Ministry of Health has been established, even earlier than the establishment of the Ministry of Defense, under the strong propaganda of governments at all levels, it has become a consensus that people do not drink raw water, wash hands frequently, bathe frequently, and change clothes frequently.

The "white" here is not the kind of white that is close to the pathological white, in fact, there was no concept of "yellow race" at first, and the Western works before the Qing Dynasty used "white" to describe the Chinese, and after the Qing Dynasty, "yellow" gradually became the skin color of the Chinese.

Mainly for economic reasons, if the economy of the Qing Dynasty is still the same as the previous dynasties, accounting for more than half of the world's economic scale at every turn, then even if the Chinese are yellow, "yellow" is also the world's mainstream aesthetic standard.

Southern Africa does not engage in the "honorable white" set, why is it honorable to be associated with whites, not to mention ethnicity in southern Africa, there is no racial distinction, "African" is the self-name of all southern Africans.

Of course, this certainly doesn't include Africans.

In August, a special group of guests came to the island, who were Chinese laborers from the Far East.

Chinese laborers are a special group during the world wars, and the work they engage in is very complex, whether it is industrial production or logistics support, there are Chinese laborers, and some Chinese laborers have even been deeply involved in the war, but because the Chinese group is not valued around the world, no one pays attention to the contribution of Chinese laborers.

In fact, last year, when the British and French coalition forces were at their most critical, there were frequent voices of conscription of Chinese laborers to participate in the war, and the Chinese in the Southern African Expeditionary Force had proved with their war records that they were not inferior to the whites, or even better, so even the overall status of the Chinese in Europe was slowly improving, at least in France, no one dared to use the derogatory name of "yellow pig", but many French people learned monkey bark from African soldiers, threw bananas to African soldiers, and hired Africans to pick cotton.

When it comes to discrimination, Europeans are really racially gifted, and they are simply full of tricks.

The Chinese workers who came to the island were not discriminated against, although many of them still wore braids, but no one dared to discriminate against them, unlike Indian, Persian and African workers from other regions, who worked in less intensive but slightly more skilled jobs, and of course earned more money.

"It's, it's not good to recruit Chinese laborers to fight in the war—" Ian Hamilton questioned Roque's decision for the first time, saying that these Chinese laborers had come to Europe as workers, not a suitable source of soldiers, and did not meet the requirements of the Anglo-French forces.

"Why is it bad? They are all young people between the ages of 18 and 25, before coming to Europe, they have undergone at least half a year of physical recuperation in the Far East, and they are qualified soldiers with a little training, and the Chinese soldiers in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force have performed well for all to see, they do not lack enthusiasm for fighting, have superb combat skills, give them a rifle, they are at least better than the Italians, you must know that there will be 350,000 laborers coming to Europe one after another, they are all suitable for the appropriate age of soldiers, we can completely transfer tens of thousands of people, Or 100,000 troops to go into battle, which would make them more valuable. "Roque has bad intentions, 350,000 young adults, representing a population of more than one million, if these laborers do not return to the Far East after the war, but emigrate to southern Africa, the strength of the Chinese in southern Africa will be further strengthened.

In recent years, southern Africa has been actively immigrating, the Far East is the most important source of immigration, southern Africa has been focusing on the Chinese propaganda in southern Africa, more and more Chinese people know about southern Africa, Roque believes that as long as southern Africa shows sincerity, 350,000 Chinese laborers, not to mention all immigrants to southern Africa, it is still certain to get half of them.

In another time, about 140,000 Chinese laborers came to France, most of them returned to the Far East after the war, and many stayed in France to settle, and it is said that there were more than 5,000 transnational marriages at that time.

The number of Chinese laborers who came to France in this time and space was even greater, not only Chinese laborers, but also the Anglo-French coalition made full use of every force, and the British overseas dominions had all sent combat troops to France, and the French East Indies sent 660,000 laborers to France, and India sent 2 million troops and laborers to Europe.

"They are physically fit, but we have a contract with their government and cannot use them on the front lines." Ian Hamilton still has concerns.

This routine sounds familiar, as is the case with many Africans working in southern Africa.

"The contract is not important, if there are workers who are willing to join the army, it must be that they voluntarily abandon the contract, and it has nothing to do with the agreement." Roque doesn't care about contracts, and the wages of workers are settled through the government, and they will definitely be exploited when they are sent to workers.

Compared with laborers, soldiers are paid more and are paid directly to individuals, without going through layers of pumping, and there are better benefits, which are temptations that laborers cannot refuse.

Now it seems that the contract is still somewhat binding, but as the war progresses, the binding force of the contract is gradually decreasing.

In the case of French East Indies laborers, for example, the French government initially promised not to send laborers to the army.

As a result, after the East Indian workers came to France, they had to work 11 hours a day in the factory, with only one day off per month, and the heavy work made the workers tired, in order to get rid of the factory environment, many East India workers volunteered to join the army, and about three percent of the East Indians died during the war.

Ian Hamilton's opposition could not change Roque's decision, and from the first day he set foot in Cyprus, the fate of these laborers was changed.

The workers are also really fresh to everything in Cyprus.

Although prices skyrocketed throughout Europe during the World War, in Cyprus there was a relative abundance of goods, the standard of the laborer's diet was not bad, the potato was the basic, and the laborer's meal included bread, fruit, and meat, which was not necessarily beef, but chicken, pork, or other meat, whatever the meat, was inconceivable to the laborer.

The Chinese in the East are in an unprecedented difficult moment, the overthrow of the Qing government did not make their lives better, but because the warlords were fighting and the people were not able to make a living, the civilians did not talk about meat, and they could not even eat enough, and last year there was a serious famine in the Far East, and hundreds of thousands of people died of hunger and disease in the inland areas.

On the first night of the Chinese laborers in Cyprus, the staple of dinner was an unlimited beef stew of potatoes, and the fruit at the end of the meal was an apple and two bananas, and if anyone was willing to shave off their braids, they were rewarded with a new set of clothes, which were not of good texture, the most ordinary denim or canvas, but the workmanship was not bad, and it was strong and durable, and it was very popular in southern Africa.

As for stuffiness or not?

Sorry, this is a matter of selectivity.

Of the first 6,000 workers who arrived in Cyprus, nearly 4,000 chose to cut their braids that night, and the remaining workers made the same choice in the following days, being placed to work as construction workers in the port and in Nikonia to build hospitals and barracks for wounded soldiers of the expeditionary force, which also surprised the Chinese workers with high standards of housing.

Many Chinese workers in their hometowns, not even a real house of their own, even if there is, it is a thatched house made of adobe walls and thatched roofs, after Roque placed the headquarters of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Cyprus, the old town of Niconia was all bulldozed, and the newly built houses were the most popular wooden houses in southern Africa in the past few years, the main structure of these houses is made of wood, and fire prevention is a big problem, so in southern Africa, more and more wooden houses are replaced with permanent buildings with masonry structures, but in Cyprus, The simple structure, unique shape, and bright colors of various wooden houses become the best choice.

It doesn't matter how many years these wooden houses last, let's take the space first.
