After the great disarmament of southern Africa after the world war, hundreds of thousands of soldiers left the army and retired from active duty, many of them went into government after retirement, but many more had to fend for themselves.

Fortunately, for southern Africa now, as long as you are willing to work, there will always be countless jobs for people to choose from, and those soldiers who have the opportunity to join the army, their families came to southern Africa many years ago, and they have a lot of assets in southern Africa, even if they can't find a job in the city, they still have to live on the farm.

The first Chinese who came to southern Africa, especially the policemen under Roque and the miners of the Rock gold mines, are still in southern Africa, and now they all have hundreds of acres of farms at home.

The worst should be those Chinese who had the opportunity to stay, but left southern Africa.

Many of them have returned to southern Africa with their families after a year or two of absence, but have lost their best opportunities.

Qinling's luck is not bad, although the value of Victoria's farms is not as good as the Transvaal and Nyasaland, but the difference is in the geographical location, not the natural conditions, and even if you only talk about the natural conditions, the farms around Lake Victoria are better than the Transvaal, and there is a lot of room for future appreciation.

When he came to the Nyasaland Army Academy, Qin Ling first reported to the logistics department, and then learned a sad news.

The Nyasaland Army Academy is about to move to Ulysses, and some of the instructors and cadets have already set off in advance, and the Sniper Academy, where Qinling is located, happens to be among the first batch of relocation.

"So, we're going to Ulysses now—" Sophia and Carty were also surprised, they had just had a crush on L.A., but they didn't expect to pass by L.A.

"I'll go after the New Year, and now we'll go home." Qinling also had a little regret, but it quickly adjusted, and in terms of infrastructure, there is not much difference between Ulysses and Los Angeles.

Qin Ling is most concerned about the education of children, just now in the logistics department, Qin Ling has learned from the officers of the logistics department that the army academy's affiliated primary school and affiliated middle school in Ulysses have been built, and most of the teachers are transferred from Los Angeles, you must know that many instructors of the army academy are teachers, and they will also go to Ulysses with their husbands to work, and the affiliated primary school and affiliated middle school are mainly to solve this problem.

The property Qin Ling purchased was on Sunset Boulevard on the shores of Lake Niasa Lake, a neighborhood of high-end residential areas in Los Angeles, where almost all of its residents were highly qualified individuals, either working for the Nyasa State government or the Los Angeles city government, working at various research institutes in Los Angeles, or executives working at the headquarters of multinational corporations.

Qinling's home is No. 1135 Sunset Avenue, in addition to the number on the door number, there is also "Qin" written in Lishu, the house is paved with beige marble, moisture-proof and insect-proof at the same time, it also provides a good foundation for future renovation, because the house has never been inhabited, the lawn in the front yard is a little messy, but the doors and windows are intact, and the security of Los Angeles has been very good.

After Qin Ling arrived home, he put down his luggage and pushed out the lawn mower from the garage to start tidying up the lawn, while Sophia and Katy began to clean the room, after all, before going to Ulysses, Qin Ling's family had to live here for nearly two months, and the sanitation still had to be cleaned.

Just as Qinling was cleaning up the lawn, the neighbors in the yard next to him took the initiative to greet Qinling.

"Neighbor, do you need help?" The neighbor is a white fat man with a double chin, his hair is neatly combed, a white shirt, black trousers and black leather shoes, and he still wears this at home, most of whom are company executives.

"Thank you, I can do it myself, my name is Qin Ling, it's okay to call me Qin, I work at the Army Academy, I just moved here, I'm sorry, my family is a little messy now, I can't invite you to be a guest." Qinling is polite and wants to make a good impression on his neighbors.

"Oh, oh, instructor at the Army Academy! Then you must be a hero during the World War, and it is an honor to be your neighbor, I am John Alex of Nyasaland Motor Group, and it is a pleasure to meet you, Qin-" Alex took the initiative to shake hands with Qin Ling and expressed his respect to Qin Ling.

"No, no, no, I'm not a hero, Steve is-" Qin Ling came to the fence and shook hands with Alex across the fence, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

"So you're a sniper too? Come, come, sit down with me, tell me your story—" Alex warmly invited.

Qin Ling's expression was embarrassed, and the lawn had not been tidied up yet.

"It's okay, Tom, Tom - come here, fix this lawn—" Alex called someone to help Qin Ling repair the lawn, Tom was a young African, presumably a servant of Alex's family.

In a capitalist society where all evils are made, as long as you have money, you can really do whatever you want.

The Nyasaland Automotive Group not only produces civilian vehicles, but the armored vehicles used by the expeditionary force during the World War are also produced by the Nyasaland Automotive Group, so the welfare of the Nyasaland Automotive Group is still very good, although Alex did not say what position he holds in the Nyasaland Automotive Group, but it seems that at least he is an executive, and it is normal to have a servant at home.

African servants, in the case of food and housing, can be done for one or two rands a month, and the price is simply not too cheap.

Qin Ling was very enthusiastic, so he went back to change his clothes, and then took a box of chocolates from Belgium, and then went to Alex's house.

The first time I visited a neighbor's house, it was not good to be empty-handed, these chocolates were brought back from Europe by Qinling, and it was good to eat them yourself or give them away.

Alex obviously didn't expect Qin Ling to be so polite, so he simply prepared a sumptuous afternoon tea for Qin Ling, and the two of them sat in the corridor under the eaves, eating and chatting while facing the vast Nyassa Lake.

"I'm French, and it's a pity that I couldn't return to France to fight with Germany during the World War, so thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to thank me in person, thank you Qin, you did what I, the French, didn't do." Alex regretted and saddened that during the World War, many French Americans applied to join the Southern African Expeditionary Force to fight in France, and many died in France.

"Your duty, you build cars in Los Angeles, you are also contributing to the world war, and your work is more important than my work, without your hard work, we would not be as strong as we are on the front line." Qin Ling is very good at comforting people, with Alex's size, it is estimated that he does not meet the standards if he wants to join the army, and he can kill Alex for five kilometers in a game.

"Hahahaha, thank you, I'm much more comfortable now." Alex felt a lot better, the feeling of seeing the war in his country and not being able to do anything was too uncomfortable, Alex donated nearly a year's salary during the world war, but Alex felt far from enough.

"The unit I served in was the 2nd Cavalry Division, first fought under the Mediterranean Command, and then went to the Western Front with the Lord, I have to say that before the Lord came to the Western Front, those commanders on the Western Front behaved badly, Haig and Nivelle were both butchers - sorry, please forgive me for the misnomer -" Qin Ling then remembered that Alex was French, and it was not good to complain about the commander-in-chief of the French army in front of the French.

"It's not improper, we can also see the battle reports on the front line in Nyasaland, it's hard to imagine that the front-line troops can suffer 100,000 casualties in one day - I was in the office at the time, I really felt that the end was coming, there were only a lot of Anglo-French troops in total, 100,000 a day, and it wouldn't be long before our troops died - uh, sorry Qin, I didn't mean that either-" Alex also blurted out before remembering that Qin Ling was also a member of the Anglo-French coalition army.

"Hehehehe, it's okay, you're okay in Los Angeles, we're on the front line is the real end, what we were most afraid of at that time was that the lord was also the same as Haig and Niveler, and ordered us to line up to face the Germans' machine guns to die, fortunately, the lord never did that, we didn't directly attack the German position, but bypassed the German defense line and landed behind the German defense line, thus opening up the situation in one fell swoop-" Qin Ling didn't care, now thinking about the situation at that time, Qin Ling was still afraid.

Alex hadn't spoken yet, when a car passed by on the road.

The houses along Sunset Avenue are surrounded by wooden fences, which are not only beautifully shaped, but also painted white, so that when you pass by the outside road, you can enjoy the view of the lawns and gardens in the courtyards of each house.

When the car passed by, Didi honked its horn violently, and a person in the cab stuck out his head and shouted: "Alex, who is the handsome guy next to you?" Why don't you introduce it? ”

"Hank, this is our new neighbor, would you like to come and sit down?" Alex warmly invited.

"Wait for me!" The overly enthusiastic guy retracted his head, and the car stopped on the other side of Qin Ling's house.

"Qin, Hank is of German descent, as long as he doesn't insult Wilhelm II, it's fine." Alex reminded Qin Ling that the ethnic composition of southern Africa is indeed a bit complicated.

On a good note, the government at all levels in Nyasaland has been mindful of this, as Los Angeles once had a predominantly German and French community, but it was quickly deliberately broken up by the Los Angeles city government.

In Los Angeles now, German families may live next to French families, and there are more British families and Chinese families, so although there may be some conflicts in the short term, in the long run, it is more conducive to the peaceful coexistence of major ethnic groups.

This is the case on Qinling's side, although Alex is French and Hank is German, it can be seen that the relationship between them is good.

Hank didn't come empty-handed, he took a bottle of wine from the town of Purple Wing, and Alex immediately went to find the glass.

Then skip afternoon tea and drink wine instead.
