Language is the core carrier of a country's traditional culture, and the promotion of language means the promotion of the country's traditional culture, the promotion of universal values, and the promotion of national identity.

In the same way, Ade's insistence on the use of English in schools and courts was to assimilate the Boers, to culturally exterminate them, and thus to occupy the Transvaal and Orange forever.

Can a Boer without a traditional culture still be a Boer?

Definitely not, just like India, can India, which has been completely cut off from ancient India culturally, still be regarded as one of the four ancient civilizations?

No, even if the Indians insist that they are one of the four ancient civilizations, the current India actually has no heritage from ancient India.

As an education expert, Joseph Chamberlain was well aware of the implications of using English in schools, so he discussed the issue with Tony carefully, and then looked at Roque with much more kindness.

Roque could only rejoice that Joseph Chamberlain did not know about the Chinese elective courses at Ziwei College.

Neither the English insisted on by Ade, nor the Dutch that the Boers fought for, there was nothing to do with Chinese, so at Ziwei College, Chinese could only exist as an elective course, not only for Chinese students, but also for British and Boer students.

In order to attract more students to learn Chinese, Ziwei School's Chinese classes are more in the form of art appreciation, calligraphy and painting are the core of Chinese classes, compared to Western oil paintings, Luo Ke actually prefers the traditional Chinese ink splash landscape, but these art forms are still too profound for the current students of Ziwei School, so Luo Ke is looking for something that interests the children to enrich the class.

This search, Roque is really sad.

There are now more than 50,000 Chinese in Johannesburg, and no one knows the exact style of Hanfu, no one knows the specific steps of Han weddings, and no one remembers what traditional Chinese architecture looks like.

Last but not least, there is a guild hall in Ziwei Town, which is composed entirely of traditional Chinese buildings.

But Roque can't organize primary school students to go to the guild hall every day to drink tea and listen to plays!

If you want to listen to it, you don't have an opera troupe in Johannesburg, but there is an opera house in Cape Town, which will stage operas and dramas from time to time.

Roque doesn't like operas and dramas, so he asked Liang Dingxin to hire a troupe from the Qing Dynasty and send it to Johannesburg, as for the rest, take your time, your stomach is not full yet, and it is too advanced to consider this problem, and when the Chinese in Johannesburg can eat enough and dress warmly, then someone will naturally start to study these problems, and what Roque has to do is to give them full financial support at that time.

After listening to a music lesson, Joseph Chamberlain also inspected the cafeteria and dormitory of Ziwei College.

The milk in the canteen was still piling up, and although the agricultural association had begun to buy milk, there were still many farmers who preferred not to sell it and sent the milk to Ziwei College.

Not to mention the dormitory, although the students in Ziwei Public School are still children, but Ziwei Public School still implements strict militarized management, the window is the basic requirement, although the quilt is not required to be folded into tofu blocks, but it cannot be piled up indiscriminately, a dormitory for four people, under the bed is a desk, each person also has an exclusive cabinet, Ziwei Public School for the demand for furniture, gave birth to two wood processing factories.

Of course, it's not in Ziwei Town, but in Oak Town, which is not far from Ziwei Town.

Yes, like the name of Oaktown in Cape Town, Roque is as capricious as the white man, and he doesn't care about the same name or anything, I don't know how many people in Cape Town call Henry, and Roque knows no less than ten.

After inspecting the boys' school, Joseph Chamberlain inspected the girls' school, relatively speaking, the campus of the girls' school is much more beautiful than the campus of the boys' school, the boys' school has a spacious playground and lawn, and when the girls' school is here, the playground and lawn are turned into gardens, when Joseph Chamberlain inspected, the garden was not finished, all the workers were Boole aunts, they did manual work, and it was not much worse than men.

The girl school is responsible for introducing Phyllis, Phyllis is much smarter than Tony's guy, seeing that Joseph Chamberlain is very satisfied with the girls' school, he immediately took the opportunity to make a request: "The main problem we are facing now is insufficient funds and insufficient teachers, we want to recruit all the girls in the Transvaal into Ziwei Girls' School, so that they can receive a complete and high-level British education, but unfortunately, the teachers of the local girls' school are not willing to come to Johannesburg, our funds are all dependent on the donations of parents, but Johannesburg has just been rebuilt, Parents don't have much power to help the school, so we have to make custom clothes from Cape Town, and we can't choose local clothes with better quality and brighter colors—"

Roque sounded like such a complaint more akin to hypocrisy.

But Joseph Chamberlain just ate this set, so Joseph Chamberlain promised on the spot that he would give Ziwei Public School special financial support.

This is a bonus.

Speaking of clothing at Purple House, Roque has now put the construction of a wool mill on the agenda, and according to Roque's plan, the textile industry will be the third pillar of Johannesburg's economy, after mining and agriculture.

The farms around Johannesburg are all merino sheep, after more than a year of breeding, the first sheep can be "sheared", and the agricultural association has begun to buy wool, but the wool cannot be processed in Johannesburg, so the wool purchased by the agricultural association has to be sold to the British mainland.

Johannesburg has no port, and if you want to buy wool to England, you have to send it to Cape Town first, and then all the way from Cape Town to the British mainland, so that because of the transportation costs, the price is not competitive, so the agricultural association has no profit at all.

If wool can be initially processed locally in Johannesburg and woven into wool to be sold in the UK, then competitiveness will increase significantly and agricultural associations will be profitable.

If the wool is reprocessed and dyed in beautiful colors, or if it is made directly into ready-to-wear garments, then the profit can be further increased.

Therefore, it is imminent to set up a wool processing factory first, and the rest can wait for the rest to take your time, at least to ensure that the farmer's wool can be sold, and the agricultural association will not lose money.

Although Roque doesn't care about the loss of this amount of money, in business, in the long run, there is no need for organizations or institutions that cannot reflect value.

Thanks to the Boers everywhere in Ziwei Town, Joseph Chamberlain could see Boers everywhere he went, and he had a simple working meal at the Ziwei Town Hall at noon, and tasted Ayersdie wine at the Oak Bar in the afternoon, Joseph Chamberlain was in a happy mood all day.

In the evening, Joseph Chamberlain did not return to Johannesburg, but stayed in the hall in Ziwei Town, and Roque finally had the opportunity to communicate with Joseph Chamberlain alone.

When night falls, the lights come on, and every household in Ziwei Town lights up red lanterns again, now red lanterns are not only a tradition for the Chinese, but also the British and Boers in Ziwei Town have hung red lanterns at the door, they don't think this is a cultural invasion, because the lanterns have real benefits, not only decorate the happy atmosphere of Ziwei Town, but also play a role in lighting, why not do it?

At the entrance of the church, Frank was handing out candy and chocolate as usual, and unlike before, Frank actually organized a choir and sang hymns on the steps outside the church door, attracting more residents.

The Protestants finally took notice of Ziwei Town, and a new church was being built, and it won't be long before the children of Ziwei Town would harvest more candy, and the two churches would compete more "generously" for believers.

On the highest star-picking tower of the hall, Joseph Chamberlain looked at the dreamlike Ziwei Town under the red lantern.

"When I was in Orange, I saw famine and fear every day, the Boers had a bad future, the compensation money they were given did not allow them to rebuild their farms, the drought was bad, the prices were skyrocketing, there were no schools, there were no churches, and I had to carry it at home when I was sick - before I came to the Transvaal, I was worried that the situation in Johannesburg was worse than in Orange, after all, it was the hardest hit by the war, and the damage was worse than that of Orange, and I must say that the town of Ziwei gave me a great surprise, Even compared to the towns in the UK, they are even younger and more energetic, and I have been to many overseas territories, and the town of Purple is the best. Joseph Chamberlain praised the town of Ziwei.

Roque was not in a hurry to speak, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Joseph Chamberlain's gourd.

"Before coming to Johannesburg, I heard a lot of bad rumors about you, I once thought that Johannesburg had been occupied by the Yellow People, those Qing people and Indian locusts occupied our country, this is absolutely intolerable, Johannesburg is very important, it can only be white here, not any other color-" Joseph Chamberlain's words gradually began to sharpen, and as he spoke, he observed Roque's expression with the help of the light.

Roque's expression was certainly watertight, and no matter what Joseph Chamberlain said, even if the words were more rude, Roque would not be provoked.

After many years of foreign trade career, Roque has already developed the ability to spit on his own face, and hot face and cool ass are an inevitable experience for every adult, Joseph Chamberlain's temptation can only be regarded as entry-level cynicism for Roque, and even worse remarks, Roque can turn a deaf ear.

It can't be said that it is deaf to a deaf ear, as long as Roque passes this hurdle, Joseph Chamberlain will definitely regret today's rudeness in the future.

"—You are now a subordinate baron of the Empire, and the interests of the Empire are closely related to you, and from the standpoint of the Empire, what should you do with Nyasaland?" Joseph Chamberlain was poor and sure enough, Nyasaland was the core, and Ziwei Town was just a drizzle.

"In order to conquer the Boers, the empire mobilized 440,000 troops, which took 27 months and cost 200 million pounds - it does not seem enough now - although it seems that it is a huge cost now, but we have achieved our goal, and the results are not bad on the surface, but I think that in order to conquer the Boers, it is still worth paying such a big price - His Excellency the Prime Minister proposed the two Cs plan after the Berlin Conference, and now this plan has not been completed, and the war is becoming more and more consumed and scaled, This time we won, so next time, will we still be determined to start a war of this magnitude again? Without waiting for Joseph Chamberlain to reply, Roque asked himself: "Impossible, the Empire can no longer afford another war of this magnitude—"

Joseph Chamberlain certainly didn't expect that, and when he asked Roque about his attitude towards Nyasaland, Roque told him about the "Two Cs".

The "Two Cs" were first proposed by Cecil Rhodes in 1877, and after the "Berlin Conference", the Prime Minister, the Marquess of Salisbury, confirmed the "Two Cs" as the official plan for British hegemony in Africa.

"Two C's" means "from Cape to Cairo", because both Cape and Cairo have the initials "C", so it is called "Two C's Plan".

The core of the "Two Cs" plan is to connect the British colonies in Egypt, East Africa, and South Africa.

Now the plan is almost successful, and only German Tanganyika (Tanzania) is left between Nyasaland and the British East African Protectorate (Kenya).

and the Congo Free State in the other direction.

So how else do we complete the 'Two Cs'? The Germans or the Belgians are not Boers, the Germans have already shown great strength in the Franco-Prussian War, to conquer Tanganyika, to complete the two Cs plan, you have to risk war with the Germans, I don't know how determined the Reich is in this regard, but if there is a war against Germany, we must be prepared to mobilize more troops and spend more military spending, although I believe that the Reich will be able to achieve the final victory, but we had better be prepared for a protracted war. "Roque focused his firepower on Germany, and considered things entirely from the British standpoint, full of self-confidence like most young British aristocrats, hoping to make a mark on the battlefield.

Of course, Roque is more rational than most young British aristocrats, and whether Britain can go to war with Germany for the sake of the "Two Cs Plan" can be known by looking at Joseph Chamberlain's expression.

Joseph Chamberlain's expression was bitter, as the colonial minister of the Empire, Joseph Chamberlain was well aware that Britain was not determined to go to war with Germany.

Before the Boer War, Britain had the confidence and determination to defeat any country in the world.

After the Boer War, Britain was still confident of defeating any country in the world, but it was no longer determined.

Modern warfare, even with British strength, is overwhelming.
