955 First Class
Last month, Southern Africa conducted its first population census since 1908.
As expected, the Chinese have completely surpassed whites and Africans to become the largest ethnic group in southern Africa.
In order not to arouse public criticism, the federal government of southern Africa did not publish the specific proportion of the population, in 1917 there were 21 million people in southern Africa, this figure also does not include Africans, and now the federal government at all levels is trying to promote the migration of Africans, the number of Africans in the whole of southern Africa has exceeded 6 million, and it is still decreasing rapidly.
Before the outbreak of the World War, there were an estimated 5 million Africans in Southern Africa, but after the takeover of South-West Africa and Tanganyika, the number of Africans in Southern Africa increased to more than 10 million.
Now South West Africa is no longer called by that name, and in official documents within Southern Africa, South West Africa was renamed "Dias" in honor of Bartolomeu Dias, the first Portuguese to discover Walvis Bay Harbor.
Correspondingly, Tanganyika is no longer called Tanganyika, but "Victoria", which is named after Lake Victoria.
Prior to this, Dar es Salaam had been renamed "St. George".
Millions of southern Africans live in Dias and Victoria, and in the future Dias and Victoria will become an integral part of southern Africa.
In this census, among the 11 states in southern Africa, Nyasaland has become the most populous state in southern Africa, followed by Rhodesia, the Transvaal, and then Bechuana and Victoria, and the original most populous Cape has dropped to sixth place.
Not surprisingly, the least populous state is Basutolan, and in southern Africa only whites and Chinese are eligible for statistics, so in Basutolan, which is predominantly Zulu, the total population in this census is only a pitiful 25,000, which is not much different from the total population of the federal government of southern Africa when it was established.
In Nyasaland, there are many people like Li Tai, they are all working hard silently, living hard, trying to contribute to the development of Nyasaland, and now they are just starting out, and they have not yet become the real backbone of society, and in another ten years, not to mention Nyasaland, the whole of southern Africa will undergo earth-shaking changes.
This trend is something that Hugo and Erwin and Otto cannot understand for the time being, and Hugo also has his own understanding on this issue.
"That's right, we just need to do our own thing, which is the greatest contribution to the country, but often we can't do it well by simply 'doing a good job'-" Hu Ge sighed, everyone knows that civil officials don't love money, and military generals don't spare their lives, the world is peaceful, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
What is even more terrifying are those careerists who do not hesitate to wage war to gain benefits in the name of the country and the nation, but the world is often driven by these people, so it is really hard to say whether this thing is right or wrong.
Just like Africa today, if it were not for the invasion of the original colonizers, then Africa may have always been in that primitive state of life, and nothing will change in another 10,000 years.
But the consequences of the colonial invasion were also obvious, and there would not have been a world war without colonies all over the world.
"Lee, can you introduce us to a good doctor, I want to check Emma's body." Erwin did not participate in the discussion of this issue, and as a witness to the world war, Erwin was now a staunch anti-war activist, and even if the next world war happened, Erwin would definitely not participate.
"Of course, there are the best hospitals in the world in Los Angeles, and we have the best medical school in the world at the University of Nyasaland, and when you get to Nyasaland, I will help you find the best professors." Li Tai has a big package, and they, the new generation of southern Africans, talk about "the best in the world" at every turn, arrogance is indeed arrogance, but at the same time it also represents a strong sense of self-confidence and pride.
Erwin and Hugo never felt this way, and even after the Franco-Prussian War, the Germans only thought that Germany was finally strong, and never thought that Germany was the best in the world at every turn.
But the southern Africa in front of them is so convincing, whether it is the rapid development of Walvis Bay Harbor or the self-confident Li Tai, it makes Erwin and Hugo have a bright feeling, if Erwin and Hugo are southern Africans, then they also have every reason to be proud and proud.
Although the mood was high, several people still had moderation, and each person drank a glass and tasted it.
Erwin and Hugo noticed that Li Tai only showed his room card when he checked out, and the bar manager enthusiastically sent Li Tai and them out of the bar, and when they got on the elevator, Erwin couldn't help but ask, "Do you know the bar manager?" ”
It is worth introducing that the elevator of the Rhodesia Hotel is a real elevator, no longer the steam elevator of the past, and the current power supply is not stable enough, but the hotel has its own generator, but there is no need to worry about power failure.
Li Tai laughed: "How is it possible, I am also the first time to come to Walvis Bay Harbor, our University of Nyasaland and Rhodesia Hotel have an agreement, the public officials of Nyasaland University can enjoy a high discount on consumption in Rhodesia Hotel, and at the same time, there is no need to pay immediately, the school and the hotel settle every once in a while, as long as there is a letter of introduction from the University of Nyasaland, you can stay in all the hotels under the Rhodesia Group at any time." ”
This explanation gave Erwin and Hugo a full understanding of the position of the University of Nyasaland in Southern Africa.
After returning to the guest room for a good night's sleep, Professor Hesling's family boarded the train the next day.
There is first class on long-distance trains, first class is a whole carriage, the fare is three times the total price of all seats in the normal car, the first class service is of course perfect, there are special attendants to serve the first class passengers, the service fee is included in the fare, no need to pay a tip outside the fare.
Of course, if a passenger is satisfied with the service of the attendant and gives a tip, the attendant will not refuse.
Li Tai is walking the world with a letter of introduction, he has not yet graduated and joined the work, and he is shy in his pocket, so he can't afford to tip.
This is also normal, and the waiter will not treat it differently because he does not tip.
Unless it's those waiters who want to find death, and dare to make faces at first-class passengers, they must be impatient.
Germans actually have a tradition of tipping, and after Li Tai explained to Professor Heslin's family about the culture of tipping in southern Africa, Professor Heslin rarely agreed.
"That's right, tips should be given if you want to give, don't give if you don't want to give, the remuneration for service has been included in the salary of the service staff, and you can't lower the standard of service because you don't tip, this culture is simply ugly." Professor Heslin made an impassioned statement that he had not noticed that since his arrival on southern African soil, his approval of southern Africa has increased.
The train was speeding all the way, the speed was obviously faster than the German train, but it didn't feel very bumpy, and the noise was less than the German train, Professor Heslin's family was curious about everything on the train, Professor Heslin was surprised that there was a newspaper of the day to read on the train, Mrs. Heslin and Emma praised the food provided in the first class, little Gretel felt the deepest, loved the various food provided in the first class, and kept talking from the time he got on the train, So much so that Mrs. Hesling had to limit the number of snacks little Gretel ate.
The train passed through Windhoek and arrived at the station for ten minutes, and now Windhoek has not changed its name, and the German text on the stop sign is clearly visible, which makes Professor Heslin sad.
The whole of Southwest Africa was once a German colony, but now it is the Dias of Southern Africa.
Windhoek is a small city with a small population, and Windhoek had only 230,000 people until 2014, which is a testament to its scarcity.
Professor Heslin's family didn't want to get out of the car, Li Tai got out of the car and bought a handmade windmill for little Gretel to play, the dark brown wooden handle was carefully polished, and then brushed more than one tung oil, each blade of the windmill is a colored cloth, the wind will drip and drip up, little Gretel can't put it down, this behavior has greatly brushed a wave of goodwill in Professor Heslin's place.
The relaxed and comfortable first-class cabin gave Professor Heslin and his family a new feeling, although the professor is also very respected in Germany, but has not been respected to this extent, taking the first class in southern Africa is simply enjoyable, and the scenery along the railway has also left a deep impression on Professor Heslin's family, whether it is the endless savannah or the mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles, it is fascinating.
In addition to the magnificent natural landscape, the abundance of wildlife in southern Africa has simply stunned Professor Hesling's family, with herds of wildebeest and zebras, antelopes, African lions and cheetahs hiding in the jungle, cows on farms and sheep covering half of the hillside, a situation that gives Otto great confidence, and now he is confident that he will survive in southern Africa, even without the help of Professor Abu.
Just kidding, even those Africans who don't bother to move in the crotch of their snakes can thrive in Africa, and with a little diligence, they can live a very nourishing life.
However, on this issue, Li Tai still suggested that Otto go to Nyasaland to have a look, maybe there will be something new.
"There is more wildlife in Nyasaland than here?" Otto asked.
"No, there is very little wildlife in Nyasaland now, there are farms everywhere, and even the barren hills are full of fruit trees - I want you to go to Nyasaland because Nyasaland has a completely different charm, and you have to be around good enough people to be better." Li Tai has great respect for Nyasaland, which is also the voice of many Nyasaland people.
ps: It's really a fight, half of the community is alarmed, the eldest sister's family is here, and they are scolding the street - I'll listen to it for a while, and I'll report to the brothers at six o'clock -
