Once in southern Africa, Cecil Rhodes's name could stop children crying at night, and now Roque's name is similar, at least southwest Africa does not dare to ignore Roque's note, so the situation facing Bechuana now is really not as serious as described in the newspapers and magazines in southern Africa, otherwise Roque would not have only stationed a regiment in Rhodes City, compared to the nearly 600,000 square kilometers of land in Bechuana State, more than 2,000 people in a regiment is really not enough, even if it is a reorganized division, it is not enough to maintain the security of the entire Bechuana State.

To put it bluntly, these are all routines, and the newspapers and magazines in southern Africa are hyping up the humanitarian crisis in Tanganyika every day, and at the same time, they are also hyping up the grim situation facing Bechuanna, but in the final analysis, it is still in the service of politics, to create a weak image of southern Africa that is controlled by people everywhere, to further enhance internal cohesion, and to cooperate with Ade to integrate southern Africa.

For these reasons, of course, Roque will not say too much detail to Anton, to avoid forming too much subversion of Anton's worldview, and many things Roque does not need to explain to Anton, how Roque arranges, and how Anton executes it is enough.

So Roque's attitude is very resolute: "Don't worry too much about the Gurkha people in Bechuanaland, including the Chinese who immigrated to Nyasaland, the state government is not all-encompassing, Nyasaland, or southern Africa is not a paradise, if you want to live in Nyasaland or southern Africa, it mainly depends on your own efforts, the state government only creates a suitable space for new immigrants, and how to choose is mainly the efforts of the new immigrants themselves." "Again, Roque is not a philanthropist, the Gurkha people who voluntarily go to Bechuana, every family will get ten acres of land for free to make a living, considering the actual situation in Bechuana Oblast, ten acres of land, it is just to make a living, if you want to live a better life, you still have to work hard to expand the farm, work hard, buy livestock, so that you can barely maintain the operation of a farm.

For those Gurkha who are unwilling to go to Bechuana, if they are willing to stay in Nyasaland, of course, they can also make a living, after all, the farms in Nyasaland need a lot of workers, as long as you work hard, it is not difficult to find a job in Nyasaland, but it is very difficult to have a greater development, at least in the long run, staying in Nyasaland, the future is far less than voluntarily going to Bechuanaland.

"Last month, the population of Nyasaland has exceeded 800,000, of which 80 percent are concentrated around Lake Nyasa, the Zambezi River Basin, including Port Edward, there are less than 100,000, and the rest are scattered and settled on the East Lake and the North Sea coast, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to get new immigrants from the Far East, I think it is very necessary for us to negotiate with the Qing State, at least the Qing State cannot restrict our immigration." In Anton's vision, there must be at least two million Chinese in Nyasaland to ensure the dominant status of the Chinese in Nyasaland.

The 800,000 here is just Nyasaland, in the Transvaal, Rhodesia, and even the Cape, there are now many Chinese settlers, and on the whole, the total number of Chinese in southern Africa should be about 1.5 million, which is basically the same as the number of whites in southern Africa.

So now the situation that Roque and Anton are facing, not only the Qing State is restricting the outflow of population, but there are also people in southern Africa who are worried about this situation, if the current situation continues, then ten years later, maybe it will not take ten years, the Chinese will surpass the white people and become the largest ethnic group in southern Africa, and whether southern Africa can maintain white rule is a very serious problem.

The most vehement attitude in this regard was the Minister of the Colonies, Jerome Wycliffe. In fact, Roque and Jerome Wycliffe are also old acquaintances, when they were in Pretoria, Roque served as the deputy chief of police, Jerome Wycliffe was the director of immigration in the Transvaal at that time, and now that the federal government has been established, Jerome Wycliffe has naturally become the minister of colony of the federal government.

Speaking of which, Jerome Wycliffe is also Ade's henchman, as early as the Cape Town period, Jerome Wycliffe was deeply trusted by Ade, otherwise Jerome Wycliffe would not dare to ask this question.

"Don't think about it, how do you want to negotiate with Qingguo? Drive the Beihai over to intimidate the Qing Kingdom? Don't forget that we're Chinese too, so let's find something else—" Roque wouldn't turn his guns on the Chinese anyway, if Nyasaland really sent the North Sea to the Far East

"Gunboat diplomacy", it is estimated that it will be more difficult for Roque to emigrate from the Qing Kingdom in the future. Take 10,000 steps back and say, as an inner lake destroyer, it is uncertain whether the Beihai can sail to the sea, so don't take risks at this time, even if the Qing State restricts the immigration of Chinese in Nyasaland, Roque still has a lot of methods.

What should be explained here is that after the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, the Qing government's control over the Qing state was much less than before.

During the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, Li Zhongtang, the governor of Liangguang, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, reached agreements with Britain and the United States and other countries in order to protect themselves, and refused to carry out the orders of the Qing government

"South-East Mutual Insurance". In fact, after the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, the Qing government has lost control over Liangjiang, Liangguang, Huguang and other places, so the Qing government's ban on Nyasaland may still have some influence in the north of the Qing Dynasty, but it cannot be implemented in the south of the Qing Dynasty.

In the past two years, the immigrants from Nyasaland have gradually moved from the north of the Qing Kingdom to the south and inland of the Qing Kingdom, Liang Dingxin used to live in the Qing Kingdom, and now he has moved from the Beijing Division to Songjiang, and Hoover has also left the Qing Kingdom to return to the United States, so in the past two years, although the total number of immigrants from the Qing State is decreasing, but the quality is constantly improving, for example, the proportion of farmers who have immigrated to Nyasaland in the past two years has gradually decreased, and the number of handicraftsmen, technicians, and educated traditional knowledge practitioners has increased significantly.

Especially the craftsmen, the Qing State is still emphasizing

"Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants", but Nyasaland has no discrimination against handicraftsmen, and even handicraftsmen who want to start a business in Nyasaland, it is easier to take a loan from the RAND Bank than a farmer to expand their farms, so in the past two years, there are a bit more handicraftsmen who have immigrated to Nyasaland, and one or two out of a hundred immigrants in the past is good, and in the past two years, the proportion has gradually climbed to about 15 percent.

"We are now cooperating with the gentry in Jiangnan and immigrating from the Qing State with the help of the power of the local gentry, and the effect is actually not bad, but to see results, I am afraid it will not be until five to ten years later-" Anton is also very helpless, the world is unsatisfactory, and it is often eight or nine times out of ten.

It must be noted that in recent years, due to the large-scale migration of Nyasaland, the number of street children in the large cities of the Qing Dynasty has decreased significantly.

In other countries, the demand for adult labor is far greater than the demand for women and children.

This is not the case in Nyasaland, where the gentry of the Qing Dynasty cooperated, and for every adult labor force they were given, Nyasaland was paid about ten oceans, and women and children were paid five oceans.

It sounds like it's twice as bad, it's not comparable at all, it's actually easier to get women and children than adult labor, so for a while, Nyasaland's migrant ships brought women and children, which made Anton's head big for a while.

But for Roque, the situation is very good. In fact, Roque does not pay much attention to adult labor, if it is purely for labor, in fact, there are better options in southern Africa, and the working ability of those adult Africans is actually not much worse than that of Chinese adult labor.

But the point is that there is little to no cost to the indigenous adult labor force in Africa, so the difference is huge.

Relatively speaking, Roque prefers children with infinite possibilities in the future, as long as these children are educated and exposed to new ideas and new technologies, then perhaps among these children, there will be countless Rudolf Diesel, or countless John Moses Browning.

As for women, although Roque does not mind the combination of Chinese and Western families, there are still many singles in Nyasaland, and some people miss the opportunity to start a family with Boer women, and cannot win the favor of Chinese women, so they hit the idea on those Gurkha who have just immigrated to southern Africa.

Not to mention, there are really many Gurkha women who are willing to form families with Chinese, and even age is not a problem, compared with the impoverished Gurkhas, at least the Chinese who can stay in Nyasaland have more or less savings, which is not easy in this era.

"It doesn't matter, let alone five to ten years, even if it's twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, we can afford to wait—" Roque is not in a hurry, he can't catch up with World War I, and World War II, anyway, in the past twenty or thirty years, Roque has to seize the opportunity no matter what.

Objectively speaking, the overall level of education in Nyasaland has far surpassed that of the Transvaal and Cape Town, and this is not only that Nyasaland has the only university in southern Africa, but also those who know the education system of Nyasaland know that Nyasaland has the most advanced primary and secondary education, and in this regard, all primary and secondary schools in Nyasaland are almost comparable to Ziwei Public School.

You must know that the level of Ziwei Public School, even in the UK, can be ranked first, so how terrifying primary and secondary education in Nyasaland can be imagined.

Roque's confidence is here.
