In Terry Bruce's view, no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do, when the rebels besieged Bukavu, Led Bobby could choose to fight and die, that was his courage, Charles David could also choose to commit suicide after the city was broken, that was his responsibility, and Terry Bruce could certainly choose to escape, this was his freedom.

Feng Xun also did not say that it was a mistake for Terry Bruce to leave Bukavu before it was breached, which is human nature and understandable.

But it would be too greedy to raise the value of land from fifty pounds to five thousand pounds.

Not only greedy, but also stupid.

So for Terry Bruce's question, Feng Xun refused very simply.

"Sorry, that's your problem, right now you're not a resident of Bukavu, so you can't stay in Bukavu." Feng Xun sorted out the documents on the table by himself, and gave Robert a meaningful look by the way.

"What do you mean?" Terry Bruce couldn't believe it, Feng Xun didn't recognize Terry Bruce's legal ownership of the farm at all, and lost this legal basis, and Terry Bruce's request was naturally vexatious.

"That's what you think, idiot, do you think we will believe what you say, first you have to prove that the land is yours, and then we'll talk about it." Robert got up with a sneer, and the big man of more than 1.8 meters was still very oppressive in front of Terry Bruce, who was less than 1.5 meters.

"The land is mine, and my former neighbors can attest to it—" Terry Bruce realized that he really had no proof.

Even if there is, it is useless, now that even the Congo Free State no longer exists, even if Terry Bruce comes up with evidence, Feng Xun can completely disadmit it.

Nor can it be admitted that there is no compromise on this issue, if Feng Xun gives Terry Bruce compensation, then what if the boss of the Haut-Katanga Mining Complex also comes to claim the mine?

So Robert's attitude is very rough now, and when he scolded, he pulled out his baton: "Even if you find your king to prove it to you, it's useless, get out of my territory now!" ”

"You bastards, you've robbed me of my farm—" Terry Bruce held back, and then Robert was carried out like a chick.

Outside the door are Terry Bruce's former neighbors.

When he saw these familiar faces, Terry the Bruce seemed to see a savior.

"Louisa, it's great to see you, you can testify for me that this was my farm before-" Terry Bruce approached Luisa with a lot of death, presumably he didn't know that Luisa was now married to Feng Xun.

"Everyone else is dead, why are you still alive?" Luisa's words are really heart-wrenching.

"You can't force me to fight the enemy—" Terry Bruce was still his reason, freedom was more important than anything else.

"Slep-" Luisa spat directly at Terry Bruce.

"You coward!"

"Why don't you die as bravely as those who fought until the last moment? Then I will respect you. ”

"You don't deserve to stay in the current Bukavu, your actions are disgusting, and your name will be disgraced because of you."

Almost everyone will be full of disgusted "spit" after speaking, and the name "Terry Bruce" is so innocent.

"It's not what you think, I've fought the rebels before-" Terry Bruce argued, feeling that he was an outlier in Bukavu now.

"You're lying, Charles wanted to get all of us to retreat to Tanganyika when the rebellion first broke out, and it was because of the opposition of you bastards that we were forced to stay in Bukavu, and you didn't pick up a gun when the rebels besieged Bukavu, you're a complete bastard—" Terry Bruce's true colors were immediately exposed, and selfish people are selfish at all times.

"I didn't, not what you think—" Terry Bruce screamed, but his voice drowned out by the accusatory voices of the women.

"We all heard just now, you still want five thousand pounds, you bastard, you lost the farm to Steve before the rebellion broke out, even if the farm is worth five thousand pounds, the money doesn't belong to you." The revelations continued, Feng Xun became a prophecy, and Terry Bruce's qualifications really became a problem.

Simple accusations can no longer vent the anger of women, and a sturdy aunt finally can't help but take off her shoes and smash them at Terry Bruce.

Feng Xun and Robert, who were still watching the excitement at the door, immediately went back to the house and closed the door.

"Open the door, please let me in—" Terry Bruce pleaded.

Feng Xun and Robert stood against the door, the angry aunts couldn't be provoked, and they even beat their own children when they got angry, not to mention others.

After that day, Terry Bruce was never seen again, no one cared about the episode, and no one knew where Terry Bruce had gone.

As the reconstruction of Bukavu was completed, construction workers were withdrawn for the next settlement, and more and more new immigrants, who were employees of Congolese companies and came to Bukavu to rebuild rubber plantations.

With the development of industry in southern Africa, the status of rubber is becoming more and more important, modern industry is very dependent on natural rubber, because of technical reasons, there is no substitute for natural rubber, during this period of rebellion in the Congo Free State, international rubber prices soared rapidly, rubber production is a reason, in the context of the arms race, the demand for rubber is getting higher and higher is also an important reason.

"We now have a serious dependence on rubber, car tires, engine seals, and even the shoes that people wear on their feet all use rubber, there are not many rubber producing areas in the world, and the Congo Free State has a large amount of land and labor, and it is an important rubber producer in the world, so we must occupy the Congo Free State, at least control the Congo Free State." Roque emphasized the importance of the Congo Free State to southern Africa at the Council of Ministers, and Roque did not need to hide it, and everyone knew what was going on.

After Roque finished speaking, the ministers looked at each other with a bit of mixed expressions.

Like the countries in Europe that have been kidnapped by the arms race, southern Africa has also been kidnapped by Roque strictly speaking, and now everything in southern Africa is tilting towards the military side, and other sectors are getting less and less money.

Compared with the Ministry of Defense, it is getting smaller and smaller, and compared with before, the absolute amount has increased.

Although the federal government's revenues have been exceeding, revenues have been growing, and the reason for making ends meet is that it needs to spend more, not because it is decreasing.

Although the Nyasaland military-industrial complex is not a state-owned enterprise of the federal government, the products exported by the Nyasaland military-industrial complex will create tax revenue for the federal government, and the proportion of tax revenue is still very high, about 15 percent of the price.

This is also the reason why the federal government allows the Nyasaland military industrial complex to monopolize the military industry, and other people can of course enter the military industrial industry if they want to, but whether the product can be sold has to put a big question mark, and with the continuous progress of technology, it is indeed very difficult to compete for market share with the Nyasaland military industrial group.

At least as long as Roque is the Minister of Defense, orders from the military and police in southern Africa will be sent to the Nyasaland military-industrial complex, and no one else needs to think about it.

"Luis, what's your opinion?" Ade is still very democratic, seeing that no one speaks and directly names him, he still points out Louis Botha, who has never had a good deal with Roque.

"Even if we need to, we don't have to occupy it directly, and buying it will solve the problem." If it weren't for Ade's name, Louis Botha really didn't want to give his opinion, and it would be useless to mention it.

"It's definitely different, Belgium can sell rubber to us, or it can sell to the Germans, the Congo Free State is in our hands, not only do we get a lot of natural rubber, but we also hit the Germans by the way, so the Congo Free State will definitely be in our hands." Roque was not surprised at all, it was normal for Louis Botha to think so, and it was certainly not only Luis Botha who thought so.

"So, sir, have you ever wondered what kind of international reaction our control of the Congo Free State will provoke?" Louis Botha was worried about international pressure.

"Minister Botha, you're now the minister of Southern Africa, and you're a little confident that you can't do it." Roque is helpless, Southern Africa is still a member of the Commonwealth, so do you need to care about the reaction of other countries?

The current Britain is an empire on which the sun never sets, and to put it mildly, most of the so-called "international pressure" felt by other countries is made by the United Kingdom, so southern Africa does not need to think about any international pressure at all.

Now the Germans are very unconvinced, which is why they will launch an arms race, that is, they are ready to bite Britain.

"I've always been confident, but I still hope that we in southern Africa exist as a peace-loving, justice-upholding and justice-upholding image in southern Africa, instead of being as aggressive as we are now, attacking everywhere and putting everyone else at risk." Louis Botha's words aroused the approval of some ministers, and even Henry actually nodded in agreement, but the look in Roque's eyes was a bit playful.

Roque was very helpless, this is Roque is ready to share the benefits brought by the Congo Free State with the federal government, but Louis Botha and his gang still don't appreciate it.

Then Roque is welcome, Louis Botha's opposition will not let Roque relent, and Roque does not need to go through the federal government to control the Congo Free State, and the same is true through the Congo company.

It can only be said that the Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.
