In fact, over the years, the Boers who are unwilling to stay in southern Africa have almost gone, and those who have not left now have either accepted the reality or are unwilling to still have illusions.

In fact, even if Louis Botha does not say it, Roque also intends to gradually develop the farms in Orange, except for some of the officers and men of the Third and Fourth Divisions who will be transferred to the navy and air force, most of the officers and soldiers will be retired, and these officers and soldiers happen to go to Orange with their families, because they were all professional soldiers and have strong military literacy, so they do not have to worry about the hostility of the Boers, and they are not afraid of soft and hard.

When the train arrived in Little Rock, Louis Botha finally saw the train station in full state, with four clean and tidy platforms, the ticket hall and the waiting hall were at least 15 meters high, and passengers entered the platform through the rooftop to take the train, and left the platform through the underground passage, and the staff on the platform were basically women, which surprised Louis Botha.

The so-called male dominance and female dominance only exist in the upper class, and the real people at the bottom have no right to choose, even underage children have to enter the factory to work, and women are the same.

The same is true in southern Africa, where there are many women workers in the Johannesburg textile mills, but there are very few women in the government sector, and only the police department has a few female policemen.

"Now you know why I want to emigrate, Nyasaland is very tight on human resources, there are women in the service staff, internal staff, nurses, teachers, and even the military, what if you don't immigrate?" Roque will certainly not ignore the role of half the sky, take 10,000 steps back and say that at least men and women are not tired of working together, the proportion of female students in the University of Nyasaland is close to 40%, and in a few years, women will enter almost all industries.

"You don't have to make excuses for yourself, you spend your own money to immigrate, and no one can control it." Louis Botha was envious, jealous and hateful, and on the issue of immigration, the advantage of the Chinese was too great for the white people to compete.

Roque was proud, he and Louis Botha definitely didn't have to go through the underpass, the car on the special train drove directly onto the platform, and the group left directly by car.

That night, Roque placed Louis Botha and his party at the De Beers Hotel, next to Cecil Rhodes Square.

When he saw the name, Louis Botha's expression twitched again.

In southern Africa, the influence of capital is everywhere, the largest number of hotels in southern Africa is the De Beers Hotel and the Capet Hotel, these two hotels are very tacit, the De Beers Hotel is the main high-end, the Capet Hotel takes the civilian route, and the result is that the later established Capet Hotel is now all over Southern Africa, as long as there are branches of the Capet Hotel in a slightly decent city.

Roque has long been concerned about the issue of market share, the De Beers Hotel is very good, Roque does not want to compete with Xiao Si for business, all the facilities in the hotel Roque can be used at will, no need to make an appointment at all.

De Beers Hotel is indeed well-equipped, gymnasium, swimming pool, restaurant, bar, meeting room are readily available, you can use what you don't need, the key is that the service attitude is very good, the standard British aristocratic service, the hotel management personnel are from Europe.

"Remind your men not to make trouble in Nyasaland, not long ago Marshal Hopkins' precious son drove drunk and smashed the statue of Mr. Cecil Rhodes, for which Marshal Hopkins spent R250,000 and still had to send Bright away." Roque kindly reminded that Louis Botha himself must be fine, and he will not be so out of tune, and Louis Botha's entourage is not so high-level.

"Bullshit, didn't your Department of Justice investigate Marshal Hopkins' personal finances? R250,000, tsk-" Louis Botha's expression was very unbeatable.

"Hehe, Lord Favart paid—" Roark doesn't ask for trouble, Hopkins is an old man, and he never makes a mistake in such matters.

With Hopkins' normal income level, it is indeed a bit difficult to pay 250,000 rand in a lump sum, but Hopkins has a good son-in-law, and Henry is a gold mine and a steel factory, and the cement factory is also a top rich man, so 250,000 rand is really trivial.

"Hehe, it's only been a few years-" Louis Botha was angry, as if when Louis Botha first met Roque and Henry, Roque and Henry didn't have much money, it's only been ten years, Roque and Henry are now the top richest people in southern Africa, no wonder some Boers can't figure it out, in their opinion, everything that Roque and Henry have now should belong to the Boers.

"What do you want to say? All our wealth was plundered from the Boers? Don't be so extreme, Johannesburg discovered gold in 1866 and the outbreak of war in 1899, a total of 33 years, what did you do in these 33 years besides mining? I haven't seen the previous mine owner take out the gold and divide it equally among all the Boers—" Roque hit the nail on the head, and didn't directly scold the Boers for being waste, which was already very merciful.

"During the Transvaal Republic, the gold mines in Johannesburg were also controlled by the British." Luis Botha certainly won't throw in the towel easily.

"What you say is untenable, why did the gold mines discovered during the Transvaal Republic be controlled by the British? Can you develop it yourself-" Roque doesn't take the elevator, anyway, the restaurant is on the second floor, and it's still a VIP passage, the kind that goes directly to the second floor to enter the box.

The box must be all kinds of opulence, and the wall is actually Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper", which has become the object of Louis Botha's satire.

"Fake, do you think Cecil would be willing to hang here if this is true?" Roque didn't even look at it, and there was a "Mona Lisa" on the wall in the corridor outside Xiao Si's office, who would believe it.

"Vassal elegance!" Louis Botha criticized harshly.

"It doesn't matter if it's vassal elegance or whatever, everything we have is created by our own hands, yes, our first pot of gold is indeed from the gold mines of Johannesburg, and the first pot of gold of Mr. Cecil Rhodes was also from Kimberley's diamonds, but we are never satisfied, we don't sleep on our grades, if Mr. Cecil Rhodes was content to become a millionaire at that time, then there would be no Rhodesia, if Henry and I were just satisfied with the wealth obtained by digging gold mines, Then there would be no Favart and Nyasaland now. "Roque doesn't look down on Louis Botha's petty family, and he is obviously also a minister, so he follows up with Grandma Liu in the Grand View Garden.

This passage hit Louis Botha really hard, and it didn't slow down until Xiao Si entered the door.

Of course, Xiao Si came to eat, and when he saw Louis Botha, he didn't have much respect, just nodded.

Louis Botha, of course, did not get up, did not even nod his head, and presumably was still reflecting on why he lost the Boer War.

It is said that after losing the first Boer War, if the Boers had learned from the pain and worked hard with the spirit of Roque to build Nyasaland, then they might not have been without the strength to fight when the second Boer War broke out.

Of course, this kind of hindsight is basically useless, if the Boers have this vision and vision, even if only one person has it, they will not be beaten and wiped out.

"What did you say to Mr. Minister?" Xiao Si also noticed that something was wrong with Louis Botha, and subconsciously felt that he had something to do with Roque.

"We're talking about Mr. Cecil Rhodes's feats—" Roque immediately gave off with a sycophant.

Xiao Si immediately smiled.

"Mr. Cecil Rhodes is indeed great, when the Transvaal Republic was established, it was clear that we had more opportunities in Rhodesia, but in the end it was Mr. Cecil Rhodes who turned Rhodesia into a part of Southern Africa, and as a result, we lost our depth, and we were besieged by the enemy, so it is very unfair for London to Mr. Cecil Rhodes, not so much to say that we lost to Lord Hellwood, but to Mr. Cecil Rhodes, The final outcome of the war was predetermined from the time Mr. Cecil Rhodes took Rhodesia. Louis Botha finally came to his senses, and what he said meant something else.

Roque's little Si immediately went off the alarm.

These two have a tacit understanding, looking at each other and smiling at each other, making faces at each other, and they don't pay attention to it at all.

Louis Botha didn't expect to stir up the relationship between Rhodesia and London with a few words, Rhodesia is still part of southern Africa, and Nyasaland and the Transvaal are about to become a state, Xiao Si is not stupid, he really has an independent mind, and he would not have chosen to join southern Africa with Nyasaland in the first place.

"No, even if you have the depth and don't have the enemy on your back, you will still lose the war in the end, but if you are not surrounded, you can choose to go to Tanganyika or South-West Africa." Roque is not cold, how can the victory or defeat of the war be as simple as Louis Botha said, in the final analysis, it is still strength, the total population of the Boers is only 440,000, and Britain has mobilized 450,000 troops in one go, if it is not enough, it can continue to increase the troops, look at how Britain was violent after the outbreak of the world war, the Boers have this population base, and the children who have not been weaned can not take up guns and kill the British.

"Why Tanganyika and South West Africa?" Louis Botha was very sensitive, but Roque did not blame the Boers and the Germans for the slightest thing: "At that point, whether it is West Africa or East Africa, or the Congo Free State, it is a better choice." ”

Louis Botha was also ruthless, and when he went to Tanganyika and Southwest Africa, he could only send people to the fence, the Boers could not beat the British, and they could not beat the Germans, but Portugal and Belgium were soft persimmons, and these two could still be pinched.
