A flock led by a lion can be turned into a lion.

A lion pack led by a sheep, the lion will also become a sheep.

This truth is so simple, but so profound, the Chinese in Nyasaland in the Qing country are insensitive, but in southern Africa they will not give an inch, the same group of people, in the Qing country and southern Africa are completely different, which fully proves the role of the environment, the times create heroes.

The year 1911 is the traditional lunar year of Xinhai, which is very meaningful to the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty, but in southern Africa, the year is not much different from usual.

Since 1902, the Chinese began to migrate to southern Africa on a large scale, from the initial hundreds, to the current millions, the Chinese have become the main ethnic group in southern Africa, and are gradually changing the social form of southern Africa, all of which are quietly imperceptible, even though some whites are aware of this, but they are powerless, and the minority obeys the majority is the true meaning of democracy.

Specific to Nyasaland, the Chinese here will not bully, will not be treated differently, and will not fall into the ground, whether it is white or African, hard work, pragmatism and efficiency is the only criterion to measure everything, the Chinese who immigrated to southern Africa have also been repatriated, and the white elites hired with high salaries have also been terminated from their contracts, and those who stay will be punished by law even if they have lived in Nyasaland for five years and obtained Nyasaland status, and they will not be punished by law if they violate the law and commit crimes, and they will not be taken care of because of their status.

In the past, white people were indeed privileged in Africa, not only in Africa, but also in the whole world, and white people were at ease with this, enslaving other peoples around the world to live a life of tyrants.

This situation is basically non-existent in southern Africa now, and to stay in Nyasaland means to give up the privilege of being white, which is nothing to the white elite, with their ability, no matter where in the world, they can live well, but for some poor white people, skin color is their greatest dependence, and losing the privilege of white people is equivalent to losing everything.

So Feng Xun is really not sure if Luisa and the others can adapt to the environment in Nyasaland.

Fortunately, there is a way, even if Nyasaland does not accept them, and the federal government, they can still live in southern Africa.

However, what Feng Xun didn't expect was that Luisa and the others were determined to stay in Nyasaland and didn't want to go anywhere outside Nyasaland at all.

"Southern Africa outside of Nyasaland is not much different from the Congo Free State, and those of us who have been through the war do not want to go back to the old environment—" Luisa does not accept any outcome of staying outside Nyasaland.

During their time in the camp, Louisa and her sisters learned more about Nyasaland and reflected more on the rebellion that broke out in the Congo Free State.

Prior to this, Nyasaland was the greatest threat to the security of the Congo Free State, and indeed to Africa as a whole, as propagated by the colonial government of the Congo Free State, and the white people in the Congo Free State were convinced.

Looking back now, the rebellion in the Congo Free State really can't be blamed on Nyasaland, but the Congolese whites have suffered on their own, and the root cause of today's rebellion in the Congo Free State is still due to the brutal rule of the white people over the Congo Free State for a long time.

Amazingly, when she was in the Congo Free State, Luisa never thought about this problem, but took the privilege of white people for granted, and now she looks back and realizes how absurd white people used to behave.

In this comparison with Nyasaland, the result is really stark.

During this time, the joint defense team responsible for the management of the refugee camp included Chinese ethnic Chinese, ethnic British, ethnic Germans from Germany, and even Gurkhas, who had not yet received official status.

The members of such a complex joint defense team were able to live in harmony with each other, the British and Germans, who were smaller, did not have the superiority of whites, and the Chinese, who were more numerous, did not isolate whites because of their numbers, and everyone wore the same clothes, ate the same food, and even said to have the same standard of subsidies.

The members of the joint defence team are not paid in normal times, but if they are recruited by the Nyasarstate government, they will receive a subsidy, which is the same as that of the regular army, with an average of about ten rand per month.

The refugee camps in Nyasaland are not the same as the legendary concentration camps during the Boer War, and Luisa and her family were not subjected to the inhumane abuse of the colonial government of the Congo Free State.

The privilege of the white man in the Congo Free State absolutely does not include the fact that there is a doctor to take care of him when he is sick, and even in Belgium, doctors are an extremely scarce resource, only the rich can afford to see a doctor when they are sick, and the poor can only resist when they are sick, and the door of the clinic cannot be entered.

"The rest of Southern Africa is also very safe, and we state police are not just serving Nyasaland, but the whole of Southern Africa." Feng Xun is really working hard, Nyasaland is short of people, but what is lacking is Chinese.

"So in the rest of southern Africa, can whites and Africans get along?" Luisa's question is tricky.

"At least whites and Chinese can get along." Feng Xun couldn't answer directly, Africans are in the same bad situation in southern Africa, but they are much better than Africans in the Congo Free State, at least they will not be tortured and killed for no reason.

"Sheriff, we don't have high demands, give us a piece of land, we can develop it ourselves, build it ourselves, and even do not need a state government subsidy." Luisa's requirements are really not high.

"How do you develop it?" Feng Xun was very helpless, and Louisa's words were also retreating in Feng Xun's opinion.

During this time in the camp, although Luisa and her family also had to work, the work assigned to the women in the camp was relatively easy, and there was no heavy physical labor.

In the past, Johannesburg was able to carry out the development of the farm because of the materials left over by the British Expeditionary Force after the Boer War, including mules and horses, otherwise with the strength of the Chinese in Johannesburg at that time, the operation of the farm could not be put on the right track in just a few years.

Now with the advent of tractors, the development of farms is simpler, and mules and horses compared to tractors are more efficient, lower cost, in order to promote the popularity of tractors, Nyasaland tractors are almost sold at cost price only, not exported at all, so Nyasaland's farm development speed is also very fast.

Whether it is to buy mules and horses or tractors, there is a cost, and the farms in southern Africa must also use the farm as collateral to find a loan from the RAND Bank, even if Luisa and the others stay in Nyasaland, they are not eligible to take out a loan from the RAND Bank, so Feng Xun does not believe that Luisa and they can run the farm well.

"We still have some money—" Luisa chuckled as she pulled the necklace out of her neck, the color of gold familiar to southern Africans.

It's pretty rough!

Feng Xun then remembered that Luisa and the others do look depressed now, but in the Congo Free State, Luisa and the others are also plantation owner families, so these refugees in the camp cannot be measured by ordinary refugee standards.

Although Luisa promised well, it was not Feng Xun's turn to call the shots on this issue, and it was Roque who had the best decision to make.

"Yes, send troops to occupy Bukavu and settle those refugees in Bukavu." Roque's plucking personality has no reason to create a reason to forcibly expand, and now the benefits of sending it to the door will definitely be laughed at.

"Will it cause a dispute?" Martin's expression looked worried, but in fact his eyes were glowing green.

Roque took over as Secretary of Defense, and Martin's status also rose, rising to the post of Deputy Secretary of Defense in charge of the military, with the same responsibilities as Roque before.

"What disputes arise? The colonial government of the Congo Free State has abandoned Bukavu, and we are also here to resettle the refugees of the Congo Free State. "Roque is right, the only thing to worry about is the rebels around Bukavu.

However, the rebels are certainly not a problem that Roque is worried about, the Belgian government can't even raise the funds to form an army to counter the rebellion, and southern Africa can casually pull out hundreds of thousands of troops, and if it is not enough, it can also recruit mercenaries from the umbrella company, as well as more militias.

"That's fine, I'll send a telegram to Gordon." Martin laughed, not caring if Roque's reason was valid.

The attitude of the Belgians?

Who cares!

Ade cares.

However, by the time Ade learned about this, it was already mid-April, and by this time the Northern Rhodesian Division had already sent troops to occupy Bukavu and the surrounding area, and took control of the entire Lake Kivu, and the 1,000-ton marine police ships in Nyasaland were already patrolling Lake Kivu normally, and the Ulysses shipyard had begun to lay the keel of the "Kivu" marine police ship.

"Locke, you can really do it, I actually found out through German newspapers that southern Africa sent troops to occupy Lake Kivu, can you explain why I, the prime minister, don't know that southern Africa has launched a foreign war?" Ade is really angry, he, the prime minister, does not have the right to start a foreign war, and Roque, the secretary of defense, does not.

The right of southern Africa to wage foreign wars in London.

"There is no foreign war, during the rebellion in the Congo Free State, Nyasaland took in a lot of refugees from the Congo Free State, and the Rhodesia Northern Division is to escort those refugees back home, but the Congo Free State is still in a state of chaos, so the Rhodesian Northern Division has to stay in Bukavu to protect the safety of those refugees." Roque categorically refuses to admit that there is no such thing as war.

There really was no war, and the northern Rhodesian division occupied Bukavu without spending a single shot, and almost as soon as the officers and soldiers of the northern Rhodesian division landed on the dock in Bukavu, the rebels around Bukavu disappeared cleanly.
