1126 Children's Day
Whether it is personal charm or social status, Billel Page is far inferior to Roque.
After the end of the World War, Louis Ben had the opportunity to settle in southern Africa, and Roque considered arranging for Louis Benn to return to the Republic of the Congo.
This was an unintentional move, but it did not expect to play a huge role now, and the Republic of the Congo later announced that Billel Peggy had died due to ineffective medical treatment.
The cause of death, of course, was the pandemic in the United States, and Prime Minister Isaiah Chamberlain also fell ill while visiting Perrell Pegg, and died three days later.
The American Flu –
It's so domineering!
On the same day that the Republic of Congo announced the death of Isaiah Chamberlain, Isaac Pansy appointed Commerce Secretary Benson Moore as Prime Minister of the Republic of Congo to succeed Isaiah Chamberlain.
After taking office, Benson Moore appointed Louis Benn as Minister of Defence of the Republic of the Congo.
After Haydn's death, Augusta automatically became the Speaker of the Republic of the Congo in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of the Congo, and Buck had an hour-long secret conversation with Augusta before leaving Boma.
Although the process was a bit twists and turns, the result was quite good, the machine purchased by the government of the Republic of the Congo from the United States did not enter the port at all, but continued south along Soyo directly to Walvis Bay.
While Buck was still in Boma, the rebellion in West Africa was largely over.
After the Governor-General of West Africa fled to Sao Tome and Principe, the defence lines of the West African Colonial Servant Army and the Luanda militia completely collapsed.
Instead of rushing to attack, Falta and Durham surrounded Luanda and did not blockade the port, and within three days, nearly 100,000 Luanda residents were evacuated through the port, ending 350 years of Portuguese rule in West Africa.
When the news came back to Southern Africa, Roque was not sad or happy, and he didn't have much special feelings.
It was originally expected, since the independence of Brazil, the Portuguese colonial empire has been deteriorating, at this time Portugal can still get huge benefits from the African colonies, but the Portuguese government did not use the proceeds to build the country, or to form a strong army.
To put it bluntly, it is deserved, if you don't have enough strength, you will still show your original form after all.
On May 20, West Africa declared its independence, and Anthony Bauman was elected president of the West Africa company, and on the same day Anthony Bauman appointed Kevin Pearce, a French-born southern African, as prime minister and responsible for forming a cabinet.
Portugal reacted violently to the independence of West Africa, resolutely refused to recognize the independence of West Africa, and went to the League of Nations to cry and complain, hoping that the League of Nations would intervene in mediation.
See clearly that it is meddling in mediation, not by force.
Presumably, the Portuguese government also knew that the situation was irreversible, so it could only retreat to the next best thing, hoping that Portugal's interests in West Africa would be guaranteed.
"The Portuguese government hopes that the League of Nations will intervene to force West Africa to return the Portuguese government's property in West Africa and protect the Portuguese property in West Africa, in other words, West African independence is possible, but it cannot affect Portugal's income in West Africa." Owen has now untied the knot, and Buck has successfully resolved the hidden dangers of the Republic of Congo through foreign visits, and his position has become more and more secure.
"Dreaming!" Roque's answer was succinct.
It is indeed a dream, the colonial government of West Africa has collapsed, and it is still delusional to continue to lie on West Africa and suck blood, and the West African government is thankful that it does not ask the Portuguese government for debts.
In the 350 years that Portugal colonized West Africa, from the initial slave trade to the subsequent continuous oppression, the crimes committed were so bloody that it was hard to write about them.
"Once again, we have been condemned, the president and the prime minister are both from us southern Africans, and now to say that the coup d'état in West Africa has nothing to do with us, I don't believe it myself-" Henry got what he wanted, and after the establishment of the West African government, the mineral resources and labor resources of West Africa were finally opened to the Favart steel group.
West Africa is still relatively rich in mineral resources, with recoverable oil reserves of more than 13.1 billion barrels, natural gas reserves of 7 trillion cubic meters, diamond reserves of about 1 billion carats, iron ore of 1.7 billion tons, phosphate of 200 million tons, manganese ore of nearly 100 million tons, forest area of 53 million hectares, forest coverage rate of 35%, is the largest forestry resources country in Africa.
Previously, the largest was the Congo Free State, but after the Congo Free State split into the Kingdom of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo, West Africa came later.
West Africa's agriculture is also very promising, the territory of arable land area of about 35 million hectares, has been developed and utilized less than 5% of the total area, before the establishment of the West African government, West Africa is completely self-sufficient in food, and has the ability to export to Portugal, sisal and coffee are the main cash crops in West Africa, once known as the "granary of southern Africa".
It's just that southern Africa, the breadbasket of the whole of Africa is still Rhodesia.
In the past, Roque felt that southern Africa was rich enough, but now it seems that West Africa and the Republic of Congo are really rich, and even the Kingdom of Mozambique has a lot of resources to exploit.
Of course, the main problem is that the transportation is not convenient enough, Portugal, Belgium and other colonial countries, in the colonies only plundered but did not build, for hundreds of years there is not even a decent railway, many inland areas rely on rivers for transportation, it is simply angry.
"Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with us in southern Africa." Roque doesn't care about painless condemnation, as the hegemon of southern Africa, if southern Africa is not condemned, he is sorry for the status of the "hegemon".
White West Africans also know what they have done in West Africa for hundreds of years, so the rebellion in West Africa has just started, and a large number of white West Africans have fled, even those "indigenous whites" born in West Africa have no behavior to protect their homeland, anyway, they will die together, if the rebellion is suppressed, then my plantation is still mine, and no one can take it away.
Including those big businessmen and big enterprises in West Africa, no one stood up to try to turn the tide, the big businessmen were delicate and noble, and all of them fled as soon as the rebellion broke out, and the corporate executives had no reason to fight for West Africa, and as a result, after the establishment of the West African government, there was no one who could not even find enough social prestige, and in the end it was Anthony Bowman who was successfully elected president.
Of course, the current West African electorate, HMM-
The whole country adds up to about 10,000 points.
"I'm going to West Africa to buy a plantation, do you want to come along?" Xiao Si was inexplicably excited, and if he bought more, maybe there would be a group purchase price.
After the establishment of the West African government, it immediately announced that all plantations, mines, and forests in the territory would be nationalized.
To put it simply, all the resources in West Africa, regardless of whether they previously belonged to the colonial government of West Africa or to white West Africans, now belong to the West African government.
The West African government has just been established, and everything is being renewed, but there is not a single surplus grain in the warehouse, and the West African government is unable to operate those plantations, mines, and forests, and in the end it has to rely on large enterprises and large companies to gradually recover the economy.
To put it bluntly, it is to collect and then sell, collect a sum when it is sold, and continue to collect taxes in the follow-up operation, and the money from selling resources can be used for domestic construction.
In fact, the main expenditure of the West African government is military spending, and now Portugal resolutely refuses to recognize the independence of West Africa, and the country is still clamoring to form an expeditionary force to expedition to West Africa.
Although the formation of an expeditionary force is unlikely, the West African government still needs to be prepared.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, don't look at Erta and Durham's momentum, remove those guys who fish in troubled waters, Falta and Durham's subordinates add up to more than 10,000 people, West Africa has a million square kilometers, more than 10,000 people is too little, at least a hundred thousand, in order to ensure the security of West Africa.
"Yes, yes—" Henry was influenced by Roque, and his interest in land grew.
"Together, together—" Owen was enthusiastic, this is a once-in-a-lifetime bottom-copy, a plantation worth thousands before the rebellion in West Africa, now it is estimated that it only takes three or five hundred to take it, and Southern Africa has invested so much for West Africa, just to carve up the fruits of victory now.
Roque laughed and said nothing, and the Nyasaland Agricultural Company had quietly purchased six of the largest plantations in West Africa, each with an area of more than 100,000 hectares.
These plantations, which were formerly the property of large West African corporations, are now of course nationalized by the West African Government.
Of course, Roque did not eat and wipe it clean, leaving Xiao Si, Henry, and Owen a large number of high-quality assets, and the interests are king.
Looking back, Roque certainly did not forget the national interests of southern Africa.
After the establishment of the West African government, for security reasons, the capital was designated as the inland region, and southern Africa easily won the 99-year lease of the port of Luanda.
This is a clearly unequal contract, but it is commonplace nowadays, as long as the strength of southern Africa is stronger than that of West Africa, then West Africa will have to accept the legitimacy of this contract, and future West African leaders can refer to the Republic of Congo if they want to tear up the contract.
Immediately after the formation of Luanda, southern Africa announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the West African government, formally establishing the independent status of West Africa.
This must have caused displeasure among the Portuguese, who were indeed incapable of forming an expeditionary force, but there was still an old-fashioned fleet in Portugal, and on June 1, the Portuguese government sent the fleet to Sao Tome and Principe, claiming that it would take back West Africa by force.
Tsk, the decision made on Children's Day is really naïve.
ps: The surprises in life are really everywhere, I had dinner with friends last night, and I went to find out that it was a blind date, you dare to believe it, hemp eggs, Lao Tzu's face has not been washed, there is still eye feces in his eyes, his beard has not been shaved for three days, and he dragged a child to go, alas, at that time, the image was estimated to have a fight with the chic brother.
