Starting with the "North Sea", the pace of naval construction in Nyasaland is gradually accelerating.

The Ulysses shipyard originally took four months to build the "North Sea", but it took only two and a half months to build the "East Lake".

After the construction of the "East Lake" was completed, the center of the shipbuilding industry was transferred to Port Edward, and this time the construction of three ships was started, and all of them were completed in only two months.

Now the Port Edward shipyard has begun to build the first fast cruiser belonging to southern Africa, this class of cruisers is also named "Edward-class", a total of four will be built, all of which will be deployed in Port Edward, Durban, Cape Town, and the enclave of Walvis Bay, which is surrounded by the territory of southwest Africa.

It appears that the areas deployed are somewhat scattered and not conducive to the rapid concentration of forces.

In fact, it is enough in Africa, the biggest opponents in southern Africa are Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, these two regions do not have a navy at all, the southern Fei will not even need to equip cruisers, destroyers of more than 1,000 tons can go sideways in African waters, if the German government really sends a fleet to support Southwest Africa or Tanganyika, then the British government will definitely not sit idly by, so Roque is not willing to break away from the British Commonwealth, this is to rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade.

It is very common for countries around the world to use external wars to divert domestic attention, and the federal government of Southern Africa has just been formed, and in fact there are many internal instability, and the Boers are the biggest hidden danger.

In any case, the Boers are also part of southern Africa, so since the outbreak of friction between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, the Boers in Orange have also stopped a lot, and not making trouble for the federal government during this time is actually a contribution, and the newspapers in southern Africa have also advertised this, calling on all Africans to unite and unite with the outside world.

Now the Afrikaners no longer simply refer to the indigenous Africans or Boers, but the collective term for all people in southern Africa, the federal government and all newspapers and magazines are deliberately downplaying the concept of race, whether it is white or Chinese, as long as it is in southern Africa, then it is the Afrikaners, everyone is prosperous and loses.

It should be noted here that apart from whites and Chinese, other races are not included in the ranks of Africans, such as Indians and Africans, and these two groups are not mentioned in all official documents of the federal government, let alone protected.

In fact, there have been many voices in southern Africa calling for all Indians in southern Africa to leave southern Africa and return to India.

This plan was really not promoted by Roque, but first proposed by Jan Smoltz, although nominally Indians are also British nationals, but in southern Africa, Indians have never really been accepted, most Indians in southern Africa are concentrated in Natal, Durban already has a large Indian community, and there are many Indians settled in Bloemfontein, and it is precisely because of the Indians in Bloemfontein that Jan Smoltz is extremely disgusted with Indians.

I have to say that Indians are really not good citizens, they are extremely selfish in life, self-centered everywhere, and never take into account the feelings of others, during the Orange plague, Gandhi led the Indians to make great contributions to the control of the plague in Orange, and nearly 100 stretcher team members died of plague, which also made the Bloemfontein government at that time allow Indians to settle in Bloemfontein.

And then the problem began to arise gradually, although some of the Boers who had been helped by the Indians during the plague were grateful to the Indians, but the majority of the Boers were extremely disgusted with the Indians, and it is understandable that the Boers dared to blatantly discriminate against even the real British, let alone the Indians, so the violence against the Indians became more and more violent.

This reality also forced the Indians of Bloemfontein to form their own communities to fight against the malice of some Boers.

Jan Smuts noted this, and before the formation of the federal government of Southern Africa, the Bloemfontein government began to restrict Indian immigrants from settling in Orange, and tried to register all Indians in Orange to lay the groundwork for a future clean-up of Indians.

Gandhi once approached Roque for this matter, but Roque ruthlessly refused.

Although Roque doesn't like the Boers, he also doesn't like the Indians, so Roque doesn't care about the little between the Indians and the Boers, for Roque, it is best for the Boers and Indians to leave southern Africa, which is in the best interests of the Chinese in southern Africa.

"Minister Smoltz is really too radical, and last month in order to raise funds for education, Minister Smoltz demanded that the compulsory education system in southern Africa be abolished and that tuition fees be levied on students to subsidize school construction, and the prime minister finally agreed to increase funding for the Ministry of Education." Sidney Milner also had a problem with Jan Smoltz.

The compulsory education system in southern Africa was modeled after the education system in the Transvaal, and in order to promote English education in southern Africa, Ade preferred to give a huge annual subsidy to the Ministry of Education and implement a compulsory education system throughout southern Africa, which is actually a good thing, but in Jan Smozi's view, it is obviously not conducive to maintaining the cultural traditions of the Boers.

"Even if they are given more money, they will not really spend it on promoting compulsory education." Roque's face was full of disdain, after the establishment of the federal government, the Transvaal more or less got some funds from the Ministry of Education, Rhodesia and Nyasaland didn't have a penny, although Roque didn't care about this money, but Roque couldn't swallow this breath.

So there was no garrison in Orange, and the police system was not perfect, and Roque even transferred Joe Russell back to Pretoria as the chief of the Pretoria police, and replaced the chief of the Bloemfontein police with Brad Robert, creating as lenient conditions for the Boers as possible.

Brad Robert was a Boer, and when Joe Russell was chief of police in Bloemfontein, Brad Robert was deputy chief of police, and Joe Russell was also at odds.

Having a Boer as Bloemfontein's police chief, and not garrisoning troops in Orange, was also evident to Roque's intentions.

"Lord, Nyasaland already has a well-developed education system, from primary school to university, and I'm afraid you can't afford the little money from the Ministry of Education." Sidney Milner, as the first secretary, is also very familiar with the situation in Nyasaland, and with the support of the RAND Bank, Nyasaland is not short of money at all.

"Who would be afraid of having a lot of money-" Roque made no secret of Sidney Milner, Ade has no children, Sidney Milner, as Ade's nephew, is Ade's closest person, and Roque must have a good relationship with Sidney Milner.

If you want to have a good relationship, the best way is to transfer interests, so Roque is not stingy with Sidney Milner, this time Roque and Henry, Xiaos formed a group to buy the farm in Orange, and Sidney Milner also participated.

The takeover of the farm went well, and Roque and Henry, and Smalls did not have a good relationship with the Boers, so Sidney Milner was the most suitable person to come forward.

As the first secretary of the federal government and Ade's nephew, Sidney Milner was in hot demand in southern Africa, and Louis Botha and Jan Smoltz also had to deliberately curry favor with Sidney Milner in order to have a good relationship with the federal government, so during this time, Bechuana Agricultural Development Company had acquired more than half a million acres of land in Orange, accounting for more than one-tenth of all developed farms in Orange.

500,000 acres, about 2,000 square kilometers, and more than 130,000 square kilometers in the whole territory of Orange, so the price of land in Orange is now getting higher and higher, and the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company has slowed down its efforts to buy land.

Of course, this situation has also attracted the attention of the Orange government, but the model of the federal government of southern Africa, even if the Orange government notices the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company, cannot restrict the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company, but wants to protect the interests of the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company and provide a certain degree of convenience for the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company to purchase land.

Otherwise, once the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company reduces its inputs, then the Orange government will end up in the hole.

Don't think that the Bechuana Agricultural Development Company would not dare to do this, Roque teamed up with Xiao Si and Henry to be invincible in southern Africa, and now Sidney Milner has been added-

To a certain extent, these four people can decide the fate of southern Africa, and their combined influence on southern Africa can almost rival Ade.

"Then you can apply for a special grant, and Orange has received a lot of financial support from the Ministry of Education in the name of a special grant." Sidney Milner gave Roque a way, and it was all federal government money that was spent anyway, and it wasn't given to anyone.

"Do you think Minister Smoth will give money to Nyasaland?" Roque wouldn't have believed that Jan Smozi was so kind.

"Try it—" Sidney Milner laughed a little weirdly.

Roque laughed, there are people in the court who are indeed easy to do, and with Sidney Milner's help, I'm afraid that even if Jan Smozi hates Roque again, he will have to pinch his nose and give money.

On June 10, Erich von Falkingham arrived in Ulysses aboard the North Sea Police's flagship "North Sea", where Roque and Sidney Milner went to the pier to greet him, and then hosted a welcome banquet for Erich von Falkingham at Fort Glory in Ulysses.

When Erich von Falkingham heard the name "Glory Castle", the expression on his face was wonderful.

"Don't get me wrong, General Falkingham, this name doesn't have any meaning, long before Tanganyika built Fort Glory, the name of this castle was Fort Glory, and the reason why this name was used was to commemorate the defeat of Belgian mercenaries by our militia troops at that time." Still, Roque explained that the name was not a satire of the Germans.
