In fact, the benefits of joining Southern Africa are also obvious.

Compared with neighboring countries and regions, southern Africa is more stable and developed, and does not face the constant threat of war, and even if it does, it is southern Africa that threatens other countries and regions.

In terms of living standards, southern Africans are not half a star stronger than neighboring countries and regions, and among neighboring countries and regions, even in the Republic of Congo, where the economic situation is relatively good, there is still a big gap between the living standards of ordinary people and those in southern Africa.

The "common people" here refer to the white people in the Republic of the Congo, Africans are counted, and in the Republic of the Congo, Africans are likewise not counted in the statistics.

Although he has been to Pretoria many times, each time he comes to Pretoria, he brings more surprises to Isaac Pansy.

Twenty years ago, Pretoria was still a small city with a population of less than 20,000 people, and the city area was not large, during the second Boer War, most of the city of Pretoria was destroyed by war, and there was not a single house left, and now the entire city of Pretoria is basically rebuilt on the ruins.

Boma, the capital of the Republic of Congo, is also a city rebuilt from the rubble, and unlike Pretoria, Boma now has a population of more than 50,000.

And Pretoria is not yet the largest city in southern Africa, with Los Angeles, Port Edward, Salisbury, Cape Town, and even the newly developed Walvis Bay having more populations than Pretoria.

When Isaac Pansy came to Pretoria the year before, only the main road from Milner Square (Church Square) to the train station was connected to street lights, and the lights were only lit between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Now all the main roads in Pretoria have been installed with street lights, the electricity in southern Africa seems to be free of money, the street lights will not be turned off throughout the night, walking on the streets of Pretoria at night, the street lights and the stars in the sky reflect each other, the houses on both sides of the road are also lit up, the whole city is brightly lit, like a fairyland.

Less than 10 percent of Boma's residents now have access to electric lights.

Only part of the street lights were installed in the square in front of the presidential palace, and because of poor management and lack of electricity, many faulty street lights could not be replaced in time, and the time to turn on the lights was also strictly limited.

"How did they do it?" Isaac Pansy was puzzled.

"Southern Africans have been building all kinds of hydropower stations, and you should note that because of the renovation of reservoirs, many seasonal rivers in southern Africa do not dry up all year round, reservoirs store water in the rainy season and release water in the dry season, water conservancy is used rationally, the land on both sides of the river can be more fully irrigated, Favart also has the largest thermal power plant in southern Africa, and half of the electricity in Pretoria and Johannesburg is provided by Favart." The Prime Minister of the Republic of the Congo, Benson Moore, knows Southern Africa well.

In fact, the neighboring countries and regions of southern Africa often send people to southern Africa to learn from their experiences.

But there are many things that cannot be learned, electricity is still a scarce resource, and neither Paris nor London can guarantee that every household will have access to electric lights, which is the norm in southern Africa.

The key is that electricity is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it if their economic situation is a little worse.

Electricity prices in southern Africa are cheap, thanks to the country's large power generation.

These power stations are supplied by power companies in southern Africa.

These power companies are not led by the federal government of southern Africa, but invested by a few large enterprises.

As a result, more and more electricity is being used, and although electricity prices are low, power companies have money to make and build more power stations, thus further increasing power generation.

This has formed a virtuous circle in southern Africa, and neighboring countries and regions cannot even learn from it.

It's not that you can't learn, it's that you can't do it.

Isaac Pansy stood on the balcony of the Rhodesia Hotel, silently watching the brightly lit city in front of him.

In fact, the power companies in southern Africa are not profitable, don't look at the high power generation, in fact, remove the huge basic investment, so many years are not profitable or losing.

However, the bosses of the power companies are not afraid, and the large enterprises that invest in power companies in southern Africa, mainly the RAND Bank, the South African company, and the Nyasaland company, are all super giants covering multiple fields and spanning many countries, and they do not make money in the field of basic people's livelihood, and these companies can also make money from other fields.

Just like the engineering units in southern Africa that build roads all day long, the newly built roads and railways in southern Africa are essentially owned by the above-mentioned large enterprises, but the roads are not charged, and the cost of passengers taking trains or rail transportation is still decreasing.

Thinking of the rich people in the Republic of the Congo who spend their days around plantations and forest resources, Isaac Pansy can only sigh.

The gap between people is different.

The big companies in southern Africa are truly mindful of the world and operate southern Africa as their own industry.

Plantations in the Republic of the Congo do not even want to pay taxes, and many even live in southern Africa, preferring to pay taxes to the Federal Government of Southern Africa rather than to the Republic of the Congo.

This is because southern Africa is better able to protect their interests.

"Southern Africa is developing sustainable industries, and we can't sell southern Africa by selling resources alone." Benson Moore faces the reality, competition is impossible to compete, or be honest as a little brother, anyway, Benson Moore doesn't matter.

Even if Southern Africa were to annex the Republic of Congo, it wouldn't have much impact on people like Benson Moore.

On the contrary, because Southern Africa has a stronger force, Benson Moore's family will even benefit from it.

Isaac Pansy's face was gloomy, his desire for power was relatively large, otherwise he would not have tested the bottom line of southern Africa through the arsenal.

It's a pity that the trial failed completely, and Bark went to Boma without Roque coming forward, and then everything went to ashes, which directly led to a major change in the political arena of the Republic of the Congo.

"Southern Africa is going to forcibly occupy Katanga now, and once we lose Katanga, we won't even have to sell our resources in the future-" Isaac Pansy was full of despair, Southern Africa is indeed merciful to its citizens, and it is indeed really ruthless to neighboring countries and regions.

Before the Congo Free State was divided, it had 15% of the world's copper reserves, half of the world's cobalt reserves, 80% of the world's niobium-tantalum reserves, 23% of the world's diamond reserves, 47% of Africa's forest area, and 6.5% of the world's

Such a resource-rich country now depends on the export of timber to southern Africa.

Sad or not?

Heaven is too far away, Southern Africa is too close.

This time, Benthan Moore didn't speak.

In fact, being annexed by southern Africa is not a bad thing, at least after being annexed by southern Africa, the Congolese can live a better life.

This may sound like a bit of nonsense, but it's actually reality.

At least Southern Africa hires Africans from the Republic of the Congo to pay salaries, and they never default, let alone go out of their way to deduct money, and their living standards on weekdays are not bad, at least they are well fed and warm, and they can add vegetables and open meat every once in a while.

Those plantation owners in the Republic of the Congo are no different from the colonizers in the past, in their eyes, Africans are the means of production that can be consumed at will, and now it is 1921, and slavery still exists in the remote areas of the Republic of Congo, can you believe it!

Of course, in favor of the annexation of the Republic of the Congo to southern Africa, Benson Moore cannot say anything like this, he is, after all, the Prime Minister of the Republic of the Congo.

"It's better to give up Katanga, then our Republic of the Congo, it is estimated that there is nothing that Southern Africa can look up to." Isaac Pansy actually knew Benson Moore's attitude.

Although Benson Moore is an official of the Republic of the Congo, Benson Moore's family lives in Nyasaland all year round, and Benson Moore's children attend the best schools in Nyasaland and enjoy a world-class education, and Benson Moore also buys a large number of assets in Nyasaland.

Many officials of the Republic of the Congo have done so.

In the current Republic of the Congo, only Isaac Pansy is useless to oppose the forcible occupation of Katanga by southern Africa.

"Rest early—" Benson Moore said as he stood up to take his leave, a pun intended.

Walking out of the presidential suite where Isaac Pansy lived, Benson Moore suddenly sneered.

For the sake of the Republic of the Congo, there is no discount in personal enjoyment, and the presidential suite of the Rhodesia Hotel is 500 rand a night, even by British standards, which is the income of five middle-class people a year.

"Sir, the king of William's company is waiting for you—" Benson Moore's secretary waited at the door of the presidential suite.

Benson Moore remained silent and quietly quickened his pace.

William's company is not well-known in southern Africa, but it is actually one of the peripheral companies of Brad's office, there are many such companies in southern Africa, and the names are very arbitrary, but the energy is not small, and everyone has hands and eyes.

When Benson Moore complained about Isaac Pansy, he didn't notice that he was actually living in the presidential suite.

"Your Excellency, good evening—" Wang was a young man in his twenties, and perhaps more than that, for the appearance of the Chinese was always very deceptive to white people, who looked young and good at maintenance, and did not look shoddy like many white people, just like the defective products of God's creation.

"Good evening, King, I hope you have the good news I want." Benson Moore, although he is the prime minister of the Republic of the Congo, is essentially a businessman.

"Of course, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I helped you contact the Crocodile Bay Power Company, and the Boma Power Company can be activated at any time." Wang smiled brightly.

Benson Moore's smile is even brighter, to hell with the interests of the country, making money is the truth.
