653 This is a bit far

Bianca Carolina had been in Salisbury a week earlier, and had stayed at the Rhodesia Hotel for fear of missing a phone call, except for a visit to Cecil Rhodes' memorial to lay flowers.

The reason why Xiao Si was willing to come to see Bianca Carolina was also due to Sidney Milner's persuasion, after all, Caronda was a territory of Portuguese West Africa, and it was not a matter for Rhodesia to be forcibly occupied, and it was always necessary to give the Portuguese an explanation.

For Kalonda, the Rhodesian government had proposed a plan, because the Rhodesian government had already paid a large amount of money for the development of Solonda, so the Rhodesian government could return Kalonda to Portuguese West Africa, but Portugal would pay the Rhodesian government 15 million pounds as compensation to the Rhodesian government.

The Portuguese government would not have agreed to this request, and then the Rhodesian government proposed a second option, if Portuguese West Africa agreed to transfer Caronda to the Rhodesian government, then the Rhodesian government would pay Portuguese West Africa 500,000 pounds sterling for the purchase of Caronda.

Portugal will definitely not agree to this plan, Kalonda was originally Portuguese territory, and it has been confirmed in the Berlin Conference, even if it is to be transferred, why should it be sold to Rhodesia for only 500,000 yuan, and it will cost 15 million to sell it to Portuguese West Africa, and the Rhodesian government did spend part of the money to occupy Caronda, but it is definitely not as much as fifteen million, not to mention that this cost itself should not exist.

The current friction between Portuguese West Africa and the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo just provides an opportunity to solve the problem of Karonda.

Don't look at Xiao Si is a bun character on weekdays, but on the issue of expansion, Xiao Si is very insistent, if Portugal's bid can not satisfy Xiao Si, Xiao Si will definitely not return Caronda to Portuguese West Africa, through Roque's series of expansion behaviors, Xiao Si has now truly realized the true meaning of colonial expansion, what international public opinion, justice and fairness are nonsense, and a big fist is the truth.

On this issue, Bianca Carolina's experience is equally profound.

As a Briton who has become a citizen of southern Africa, Bianca Carolina has been to Salisbury before, but that was more than ten years ago, when she last came to Salisbury, Cecil Rhodes was still alive, but she travels back and forth between southern Africa and the British mainland all year round, and Salisbury is only a small town with a population of no more than 10,000 people, less than one-fifth of the current size.

With a population of over 50,000, Salisbury is now the largest city in Rhodesia, and in all of Southern Africa, after Cape Town, Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Little Rock and Port Edward in Nyasaland.

Also a colony, there are no cities with a population of more than 50,000 in Portuguese West Africa, and even the total number of whites in the whole of Portuguese West Africa is less than 100,000.

In fact, after the loss of Portuguese East Africa, Portugal also began to quietly adjust its colonial policy, no longer exercising high-pressure rule over the colonies, and using more moderate means to ease the resistance of Africans to the colonizers.

"Sir, Lord Nyasaland and Mr. Rhodes have gone downstairs—" Bianca Carolina's attendant came over and reminded softly.

"Damn, you should have informed me sooner." Bianca Carolina was going downstairs to greet her, no matter which identity of Roque and Xiao Si, Bianca Carolina did not dare to slack off.

Politically, Roque is the Viscount of Nyasaland and Xiao Si is the master of Rhodesia, and their status is several levels higher than that of Bianca Carolina.

Economically, Roque and Xiao Si are both a series of group companies, and Bianca Carolina is also a businessman, but the business scale is also several levels worse than that of Roque Xiao Si.

That is, Bianca Carolina appeared in Salisbury as a representative of Portuguese West Africa, and Roque and Xiao Si took the initiative to meet Bianca Carolina, and changed to other identities, Bianca Carolina wanted to see Roque and Xiao Si, to see if Roque and Xiao Si had time.

It was indeed a bit late, Bianca Carolina had just walked to the elevator entrance, and Roque and Xiaosi happened to get out of the elevator.

After saying hello and returning to the conference room, Roque looked at Bianca Carolina as if he was a little familiar.

"Sir, I am also a businessman, and I have business dealings with the Johannesburg Textile Company." Bianca Carolina took the initiative to introduce.

"Hello, Mr. Carolina, it's a pleasure to meet you." Roque smiled, it's good to have interests,

"Don't be polite, get down to business, Mr. Carolina, if your conditions don't change, then we don't have to waste any more time." Xiao Si directly, Rhodesia invested about 100,000 pounds before and after for Buronda, and this money must not be spent in vain, and if the Portuguese do not give Xiao Si a satisfactory price, Xiao Si will definitely not let go.

As for Cabinda and Soyo, Xiao Si doesn't care what the price will be paid by both sides of the conflict, it has nothing to do with Rhodesia.

"Mr. Rhodes, we are full of sincerity to solve this problem, whether it is Cabinda, Soyo or Buronda, it is the territory of the Portuguese Republic-" Bianca Carolina pleaded with a pleading face, at this time, don't hold the frame of diplomatic etiquette, the so-called not arrogant or humble is to have the confidence to turn the face, and when there is no confidence, you must be able to bend and stretch.

It was only then that Roque remembered that after Portugal lost Portuguese East Africa, a revolution broke out in the country, and then the Kingdom of Portugal was declared extinct, and the last king, Manuel II, fled to the British colony of Gibraltar and now lives in London.

Speaking of this Manuel II is also a talent, the last king in addition to the king also has an identity of a bibliophile, it is hard to imagine that there is also the term bibliophile, in this case, Na Roque is also a gold collector.

"No, all of Bronda's territory is in our Rhodesia, so Bronda should be Rhodesian territory-" Xiao Si argued, if this is the case, Walvis Bay Harbor should also belong to Southwest Africa.

"Bronda belongs to West Africa, this is the decision of the Berlin Conference-" Bianca Carolina didn't expect Xiao Si to be so arrogant and domineering, completely unreasonable.

"Then the decision of the Berlin Conference is wrong, the Berlin Conference also claimed that East Africa is also Portuguese territory, but East Africa is now independent as the Kingdom of Mozambique, and you should go to the Berlin Conference to administer justice for you." Xiao Si unveiled the scar, completely ignoring Bianca Carolina's mood.

At present, it is not only Germany, which wants to subvert the old colonial order, but also Britain, France, Italy, and almost all other participating countries are dissatisfied with the results of the Berlin Conference, and Belgium and Portugal have never forgotten to talk about the Berlin Conference.

"Mr. Rhodes, we still have to respect the efforts of our predecessors, without their efforts, there would be no current international order." Bianca Carolina is bitter in her heart, this sentence seems fair, but it is actually nonsense.

With the development of society, the old order must be adjusted in time, otherwise the current international order should be formulated by Portugal and Spain, not Britain and France.

In the early days of the Age of Discovery, Portugal was the first to explore Africa, Spain set its sights on the Americas, and Britain and France were still engaged in the Hundred Years' War.

Now Portugal and Spain have declined, the Armada and the former sea coachmen have become a thing of the past, Britain has become an empire on which the sun never sets, France has finally established a huge colony in North Africa, and Portugal's colonies are now only West Africa and a few other scattered colonies, and the former glory is gone.

"Hahahaha, with Carolina, don't you still join the Southern African nationality." Xiao Si seems to have heard the funniest joke in the world.

"How is the Prime Minister's health doing?" Roque didn't want to listen to Xiao Si and Bianca Carolina haggling, and casually asked about Ade's body.

Sidney Milner was taken aback, and then the expression on his face was very strange, this is the ongoing negotiations on the territory of the country, what a solemn and sacred occasion, and the family can talk about it at any time.

"I said that you guys are okay enough, just leave Su Xian in Pretoria to massage your gang every day, what about the teaching work of Johannesburg Medical School?" Roque was angry that the health of the big guys is important, but the teaching of medical school is also important.

"You have to ask your father-in-law and your eldest brother this question, how about your father-in-law and your eldest brother preparing to set up a Chinese medicine school in Pretoria, are you happy?" Sidney Milner's information really made Roque happy.

How to say it, no matter how controversial Chinese medicine will be in the future, but in this era, Western medicine and Chinese medicine are more ignorant than Chinese medicine, and modern medicine that will dominate the world in the future has just begun, and both Western medicine and Chinese medicine must be improved with the progress of modern medicine, so as to have better development and inheritance.

Relatively speaking, the environment of traditional Chinese medicine is still good, and Su Xian is indeed a person with real skills, and everyone who receives treatment from Su Xian has been impressed by Su Xian's treatment results, and it is logical to establish a Chinese medicine college.

However, it is very difficult to pass on traditional Chinese medicine, and unlike the teaching method of modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine mainly teaches by word and deed, which requires more time and experience accumulation.
