The year after the outbreak of the World War, Southern Africa conquered Southwest Africa, linking the port of Walvis Bay, an enclave surrounded by Southwest Africa, to the mainland.

Because of Roque's insistence, the development of Walvis Bay Port has begun since 1910, after the construction of the Walvis Bay Railway, the construction of Walvis Bay Port has entered the expressway, and various materials produced in southern Africa have been continuously sent to Walvis Bay through the Walvis Bay Railway.

During the World War, Walvis Bay Port almost became the busiest port in the world, the export of materials from southern Africa to Europe was mainly carried out through Walvis Bay Port, Walvis Bay Railway Station was busiest every five minutes, there were three wharves in Walvis Bay Port now, No. 1 Wharf has 35 berths for 10,000-ton giant ships to dock, there are 40 such berths No. 2 Pier, and the best conditions are Pier No. 3 for the Walvis Bay fleet, although there are only 20 berths, But it is available for giant battleships of the battleship and aircraft carrier class to dock.

Although the world war has ended, the Walvis Bay Harbor is still busy, the huge gantry crane on the wharf attracted the attention of Professor Heslin's family, more than ten meters long sea containers are piled up on the dock waiting for transshipment, and the passengers who are getting on and off the ship are quickly leaving the dock through the underground passage under the guidance of the staff, Professor Heslin swears that he has never seen so many people at the same time in Munich.

Erwin and Otto had seen it, but in a prisoner-of-war camp.

"Compared with the World War, Walvis Bay is much deserted now, at that time, there were more than a dozen ships entering and leaving the port every day, the queue of trucks in and out of the port was more than ten kilometers long, almost every day there were migrant ships arriving in Walvis Bay, and the bars in the port area were full of crew and sailors waiting to leave." Li Tai, who greeted Professor Heslin's family at Walvis Bay, was not in a hurry, and he was happy to introduce Professor Heslin to the brand-new Walvis Bay.

At present, the area of Walvis Bay Port has grown from less than 5 square kilometers to 150 square kilometers.

During the World War, major companies in southern Africa opened new factories in Walvis Bay to produce supplies for European needs, and the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group alone set up 11 factories in Walvis Bay to produce artillery shells.

A large number of factories brought a rapid influx of people, so the buildings of Walvis Bay Harbor were a bit rushed, there were no those elaborate rococo, baroque, more reinforced concrete tube buildings, southern African designers are very good at using color decoration, South African company buildings, the façade is usually pleasing blue and white, Nyasaland military industrial complex is an impressive dark red, as mottled as old bloodstains.

"It's hard to imagine that the history of this city is less than five years old, how did you do it?" Professor Heslin couldn't believe that Walvis Bay is now more prosperous than Hamburg, Germany's largest port city, which has a history of more than 1,000 years.

"To be honest, as a southern African, I am also amazed that the speed of development of Walvis Bay Port may not be found in the whole world, which is the 'miracle city' that belongs to us in southern Africa." Li Tai is full of pride, and there is only one southern Africa in the world.

Professor Hesling didn't speak, the miracle of Walvis Bay couldn't all be attributed to Southern Africa, and if it weren't for the world war, Walvis Bay wouldn't have developed so fast.

But this contrast made Professor Heslin even more sad, after the Franco-Prussian War, all Germans believed that Germany had successfully risen, but a world war brought Germany back to its original shape, think about Germany on the verge of collapse, and then look at the proud Li Tai and the busy Walvis Bay Harbor in front of him, Professor Hesling only knows how bitter he is in his heart.

Walk along the underground passage to the station, the size of the station surprised Professor Heslin even more, the commuter car here is a train, connecting the railway station and the dock, the passenger station and the freight station are not in the same place, the platform is clean and tidy, there are uniformed cleaners not far away, and there are two police officers carrying police dogs on duty.

To Professor Heslin's surprise, the police in southern Africa were not as vicious as they imagined, although they were armed and carrying police dogs, they were kind and communicative, Professor Heslin noticed that some passengers asked the police questions, and the two policemen answered enthusiastically, and the smiles on their faces were impressive.

The commuter bus is also impressive, a train ticket only costs five cents, there is no first class on the commuter car, all of them are the kind of small row of card seats that sit opposite each other, and there is a coffee table in the middle of the card seat.

Very clean and no dust at all.

"Professor, would you like to take a break in Walvis Bay first, or will you head to Nyasaland right away?" Li Tai served Professor Heslin wholeheartedly and obeyed Professor Heslin's arrangement.

"It's okay, I'm not tired—" Professor Heslin wanted to get to Nyasaland as soon as possible.

"It's better to take a break, if you don't get tired, the child will be tired, not to mention Emma-" Mrs. Hesling was more thoughtful, the travel is not an easy task for pregnant women, Walvis Bay Harbor is about 2,300 kilometers away from Los Angeles in a straight line, and you have to go to Johannesburg by train, and then pass through Pretoria, Favalt, Salisbury to reach Los Angeles, the whole journey is nearly 3,500 kilometers.

Then rest for a day and then leave, the largest and most luxurious Rhodesia Hotel in Walvis Bay is next to the Walvis Bay Railway Station, Li Tai brought a letter of introduction from the University of Nyasaland, and booked three luxury suites directly in the Rhodesia Hotel.

One was for Professor Hesling and his wife and little Gretel, one for Hugo and Emma, and the last one was for Li Tai to live with Erwin and Otto.

Mrs. Hesling was right, not only was little Gretel and Emma tired, Professor Hesling was also drowsy when he arrived at the hotel, and several young people were full of energy, so Li Tai, Erwin and Otto, who couldn't sleep, simply called Hugo and went to the bar on the third floor of the hotel together.

Because it was still early, there were not many customers in the bar, and there was no band or performance on stage, only the gramophone playing Robert Schumann's "Butterfly".

So the conversation between the young people started with music.

"I didn't expect to hear Robert Schumann's 'Butterfly' in a bar in southern Africa—" Hugo asked for a glass of wine produced in Cape Town, and Hugo has been restrained in this regard.

"Music knows no borders!" Li Tai asked for a glass of German dark beer, not only music knows no borders, but beer also has no borders.

"For Robert Schumann!" Erwin wanted Cape Town, a cocktail that became a bar symbol during the World Wars.

Otto didn't speak, but also raised his glass in response, he asked for the strongest vodka, probably because he wanted to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows.

Unlike the relaxed family of Professor Hesling, Otto is emigrating to southern Africa this time and will not return to Germany.

For Otto, Southern Africa was a strange world, and because of the world war, it was probably still a hostile strange world, so Otto was mentally prepared to face difficulties.

Originally, Otto planned to be separated from Professor Heslin's family after disembarking, but he was strongly retained by Professor Hesling's family, and in southern Africa, Otto had no relatives and no reason, and it was very difficult to live.

This is where the benefits of connections come into play, as Abu is in a high position in southern Africa, and is an old friend of Otto's father, Professor Melke, who hopes that Abu can give Otto some help.

It doesn't take much, as long as you can get Otto through this stage, it will depend on Otto's personal efforts in the future.

After learning about Otto's plight, Li Tai expressed great sympathy for Otto and took the initiative to introduce himself to Otto.

"Don't be pessimistic and disappointed, God has closed a door for you, and he will definitely leave a window for you - my parents died in the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, and I was sold to Christian Human Resources Company, and then I came to Southern Africa - in Southern Africa, I lived in a welfare home with other orphans, and then I was educated in Nyasaland, admitted to the University of Nyasaland, and became a student of Professor Kossel—" Li Tai revealed that his family was short, and there were many such situations in Southern Africa, and there was a time when The immigrants sent to southern Africa by Christian Human Resources are orphans who have been educated in southern Africa and have become the backbone of Nyasaland when they grow up, they have either entered higher education institutions like Li Tai or joined the army like Qin Ling.

"So, you were sold to southern Africa?" Otto was surprised, but his understanding was incorrect, the same immigrants, from different angles, would have different conclusions.

"It's not the slave trade in the traditional sense, if the lord hadn't taken me to southern Africa at that time, then I probably wouldn't have had a chance to grow up at all, it's salvation, not trade." Lee Tae is firm, how much he panicked when his parents died, how deep his feelings for Roque were.

"And how are you going to repay your lord for his salvation?" Otto tried to understand this relationship between Li Tai and Roque, and now it seems that he should not be a slave, and no slave owner would send his slave to college.

"The Lord does not need my return, I just have to work hard and contribute to the stability of Nyasaland to the best of my ability, which is the Lord's greatest hope – that the Lord has brought us orphans to Southern Africa, not to exploit us, but to multiply and grow our whole race, as we all know." Li Tai's expression was indifferent, but it was this light tone that gave people unwavering confidence.

ps: At two o'clock in the morning, the eldest brother and the eldest sister in the front yard started fighting, and the eldest sister called her mother's family over, and I sat on the toilet and listened to the wall root for half an hour with relish-hey,It seems that the words are inappropriate-forget it.,Forget it.,I guess the brothers are used to my inconsequentiality-
