There is a saying in the current public opinion of the Entente countries that the reason why a world war broke out was because the ambitions of some people could not be satisfied, so they coerced the whole country to provoke a world war.

Some people are indeed ambitious, but the people are not necessarily coerced, just like Cyprus, although the benefits of large enterprises are not equal to those obtained by large enterprises, but that is because the cost of investment by large enterprises is higher, so they should get more benefits, and there is no difference in nature.

So under the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

The original sentence of this sentence is: In an avalanche, no snowflake feels responsible.

Reflected in reality, in Cyprus, the command of the expeditionary force is vested from top to bottom, and no one can stay out of it.

Now Cyprus also has the first permanent residents after the outbreak of the World War, and these residents are the families of the staff of the Expeditionary Force Command.

As the number of family members of the army grew, Roque simply set up a new department in the logistics department of the expeditionary force headquarters, headed by Lieutenant Colonel Statham from the British mainland.

Lieutenant Colonel Statham's daily work begins with the reception of new immigrants, and according to the regulations of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force Command, only officers above the rank of colonel are eligible to bring their families during the war, so more and more officers and their families come to Cyprus during this period, and how to place them well is an important part of Lieutenant Colonel Statham's work.

"More than a hundred family members will arrive in Niconia at twelve o'clock noon, and we're busy again—" Lieutenant Colonel Statham's aide-de-camp was Captain Ross, also from England, who was very fond of East Indian coffee, and always had his cup at hand every day as long as he was in his office.

Today, Cyprus is far more abundant than London and Paris.

Before the outbreak of the world war, southern Africa was still a wild place far away for most ordinary Europeans, and European news about Africa was forever associated with ignorance, backwardness, brutality, and ignorance, and many people had no interest in learning about southern Africa.

After the outbreak of the world war, people suddenly discovered a very different southern Africa, which was rich in beauty, rich in industry, brave soldiers and conscientious doctors and nurses, generous big business and conscientious officials, in stark contrast to Europe, which had been boiled into a pot of porridge.

In the case of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, the weapons, ammunition and daily necessities used by the officers and soldiers all came from southern Africa, and even coffee from the East Indies was processed in southern Africa before being sent to Cyprus.

Southern Africa provides Cyprus with many kinds of coffee, some with milk, some without milk, some with sugar, and you can brew it directly when you drink it, some people like the original flavor, and some people like the process of grinding coffee beans, and only Southern Africa can meet so many different needs of all coffee factories in the world.

"There are only 60 houses left for school officers, and we need to build more." The officer in charge of allocating the house was also Major Price, who was older and had already retired from the army, but returned to the army after the outbreak of the world war.

"Didn't the families of several officers move to farms in the suburbs yesterday, and can their houses be vacated?" Captain Ross is very young, just graduated from military school, otherwise he would not be so ignorant.

Cyprus has more than 2 million acres of arable land, which is not worth mentioning in southern Africa, where there are few people and more land, but the officers do not live on the output of the farm, the farm is just a way of life for them, so many of the officers' families come to Cyprus and do not want to live in the cities that have gradually taken shape, but live on the farms in the countryside.

"What do you think, the houses that have been allocated have been allocated, and there is no possibility of repossession." Major Price looked through the information in his hand, and the form was densely packed with names.

"Is it time to develop the farm? They weren't worried—"Lieutenant Colonel Statham was having breakfast, two eggs and a glass of whiskey, unhealthy, but refreshing.

"Worried about what?" Captain Ross was interested in everything.

"Cyprus is not yet British territory—" explained Major Price, but his expression was not too worried: "--But don't worry, Lord Nyasaland will keep their property safe." ”

Roque had absolute prestige in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, and officers from Britain and France also admired Roque, needless to say, the officers of the other colonial servant armies had Roque's prestige in their hearts higher than George V's, and even the most naïve officers of the Kingdom of Italy did not compromise Roque's orders in the slightest.

Roque's prestige is so high, and it has a lot to do with Roque's knowledge and good work.

For example, the troops of the Kingdom of Italy.

Referring to the performance of the troops of the Kingdom of Italy in the Battle of Isonzo, it is estimated that the troops of the Kingdom of Italy have been put in the cold in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force.

But here in Roque, although the troops of the Kingdom of Italy did not perform well on the battlefield, they were still very qualified as garrisons, and after the gradual transfer of the Garibaldi Peninsula and Constantinople to the Russian Empire, the garrison of the troops of the Kingdom of Italy was moving to the Asia Minor Peninsula and gradually taking over the defense area of the main forces.

"Several officers complained to me that they also wanted to buy farms in Cyprus, but the farms in good locations have been sold out, and only some farms in the remote mountainous areas in the south have not been sold. Captain Ross is more aware of the situation, this kind of thing is fast and slow, and by the time everyone realizes that the value of land in Cyprus is increasing significantly, there is no chance of entering the market.

"Why not, I'm old, or I'd like to immigrate to Cyprus." Major Price regretted that whites also have a leaf fall complex.

"Why?" Captain Ross didn't know that things were going on.

"Because of the prospect of Cyprus!" Major Price put down the documents in his hand, took out the glasses cloth from the glasses case, took off the glasses and wiped them carefully: "——Look at the hospital here, as well as these wide roads, roadside parks, residential areas, schools, libraries, it is winter now, there is no smog here, the air is fresh, the climate is warm, where is the better place to retire than here——"

Major Price was talking about Cyprus now, but not Cyprus before.

Of all the countries in the world, Southern Africa is probably the best at using human resources, and the UK is already a leader in this area, but there is still a gap compared to Southern Africa.

And there is still a big gap.

When the world war broke out, the British imprisoned the Ottomans on the island of Cyprus in concentration camps, seemingly unaware that they could also be exploited.

It is an undeniable fact that at the moment of 1914, the vast majority of countries in the world had not yet formed a future national consciousness, that is, the Ottomans on the island of Cyprus, unlike the future Ottomans, could be educated with a little effort.

"The air here is really good, and the winter in London is terrible, cold and damp, and my grandfather's leg hurts terribly every winter—" Captain Ross also admitted that the conditions in Cyprus were good, but not too much to feel about it.

"Price, if you want, you can keep a house for yourself." Lieutenant Colonel Statham finally finished breakfast, he and Price are both colonel-level officers and can be assigned to townhouses, the general is a single-family house, and the rest of the staff is an apartment building, and the size of the apartment is different depending on the rank.

"I've left myself the best of the best—" Major Price laughed, and the British also carried the wool of the British Empire every day.

Owning a house in Cyprus does not mean immigrating.

Unlike the southern Africans, who have a love for farming, the British have now progressed to the level of enjoying life, and the beautiful Mediterranean Sea is a great holiday destination, and owning a house in Cyprus can be used every winter to escape the cold, damp fog.

"Leave your next door to me, and we'll be neighbors in the future." Lieutenant Colonel Statham also didn't masturbate for nothing, and he didn't forget his subordinates when it was good: "Rose, do you want to leave a set for you, it's a rare opportunity-"

"Really? That's just wonderful—" Captain Ross was overjoyed, not expecting a big pie to fall from the sky.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lieutenant Colonel Statham and Major Price went their separate ways, Lieutenant Colonel Statham and Captain Ross went to the port by car, and Major Price went to Christian Human Resources to ask if the female workers required by the logistics department were in place.

As the number of commanders grew, so did the need for staff, and it is worth mentioning that although slavery had been abolished in name by both the Ottoman and Persian empires, this situation was still widespread in both countries, especially at the outbreak of war, where ten pounds could buy a person.

No, at Christian Human Resources, it's called hiring, but it's just a little longer on the job.

Christian Human Resources Company is indeed very efficient, when Major Price arrived at Christian Human Resources Company, all 200 workers were in place, men, women and children, and they were all skilled workers, some were good at cleaning, some were good at mowing lawns, some were good at laundry and cooking, and I don't know how the headhunters of Christian Human Resources Company were found.

Headhunters can be regarded as slave traders in the new era.
