Hopkins paid nearly 250,000 rand for Breitt Hopkins' impulse, including compensation for the victims and the cost of repairing Cecil Rhodes Square.

Because the previous statue has been completely destroyed, the new statue is also designed by the Italian sculptor, according to Roque's requirements, the new statue should also be installed with a base, guardrails around the perimeter, and protective piles should be added around the square to prevent any more cars from rushing into Cecil Rhodes Square.

On the second day of the accident, the scene has been cleaned up, and the square has returned to normal, compared with before, except for one less statue, it seems that there is no difference, in the previous statue location, some citizens spontaneously sent flowers to the statue, no matter how notorious Cecil Rhodes is in another time and space, in Nyasaland in this time and space, Cecil Rhodes's image is still very positive.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Nyasaland was only what it is today under the management of Roque, there would be no Nyasaland without Cecil Rhodes.

"Nyasaland is good for everything, it's just too close to the border!" In Owen's words, this is indeed Nyasaland's biggest hidden danger.

The whole of Lake Nyasa was divided between Nyasaland, the Kingdom of Mozambique, and Tanganyika.

On the Nyasaland side, with Little Rock as the center, there are more and more towns on the shores of Lake Niassa, and the lake is full of high-quality farms that have only been developed for a few years, and the soil conditions here are very good, and the crops do not even need to be fertilized or watered, and there are good harvests every year.

Compared with Nyasaland, the Kingdom of Mozambique and Tanganyika are relatively primitive, basically there are no traces of artificial development, in the past few years in the lake area controlled by Tanganyika, there are still people rowing boats to catch a fish or something, in recent years, with the Nyasaland Marine Police equipment is getting better and better, Lake Nyasaland has almost become an inner lake in Nyasaland, and the Germans in the area controlled by Tanganyika have moved away with the rebellion of Fort Glory and were forced to give up their interests in Lake Nyasaland.

"It doesn't matter, the military is confident in protecting the interests of Nyasaland." Roque is not worried, if it were not for this reason, the Ministry of Defense would not have a reason to maintain so many troops, and now that the entire federal government is tied up by the interests of the Ministry of Defense, whoever dares to reduce the military spending of the Ministry of Defense will be responsible for the future of Southern Africa.

"What do you think about disarmament?" Owen needs to communicate with Roque in a timely manner, so that they can cooperate better.

When Southern Africa was first established, everyone felt that they should focus more on developing the economy, but Roque insisted on forming a force composed of professional soldiers to replace the former colonial servant army, which is also the reason why the military spending in Southern Africa remains high today.

Now that the whole world is engaged in an arms race, Roque wants to reduce the troops and recruit Africans, which is very controversial.

According to the practice in southern Africa, military personnel enjoy many benefits after enlistment, for example, ordinary immigrants need at least five years to get the right to vote in southern Africa, but only three years to serve in the army.

Because of this regulation, many new immigrants in southern Africa are eager to join the army, seeing it as a shortcut to integrate into southern Africa as soon as possible.

Roque has indeed fulfilled his promise, whether it is Chinese or Gurkha, as long as he serves in the Southern African Army for three years, then he can become a full citizen of Southern Africa and get all the rights, including the right to vote.

However, before that, the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa excluded Africans, and the Ministry of Defense did not recruit Africans at all, so naturally there was no question of Africans' rights.

"What else can you think about the cost of maintaining two divisions of 30,000 people, if you form a force composed of Africans, it is enough to maintain ten divisions." Roque is simple and clear, the military spending of the Ministry of Defense has reached the limit for southern Africa now, and if you want to increase the military without increasing the cost, you can only downsize.

As for whether the troops composed of Africans are strong in combat, Roque doesn't care about this question, they are all cannon fodder anyway, and no matter how powerful the cannon fodder is, he is also cannon fodder.

"But you've only made two—" Owen still didn't understand.

"It's really two, but the Ministry of Defense now has a new Navy and Air Force, and the cost of these two pieces is higher, a cruiser costs hundreds of thousands, and an aircraft costs several thousand-" Roque can't help it, in order to better brush up on the sense of existence after the outbreak of the world war, Roque is now fighting.

There is a question that needs to be clarified in advance, the Nyasaland military-industrial complex sells weapons to the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa, and the price is not discounted at all, as much as it should be, at most there are no restrictions on technology, and the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa can get the aircraft with the most advanced technology, not the castrated version sold to the Italians and Ottomans.

Nyasaland now produces "Strong Wind" combat power, with the latest technology applied to the engine, and the performance has been further improved.

However, the planes sold to the Italians and Ottomans were still the previous versions of the engines, and Roque even removed the engines from the old planes and installed them on the new planes and sold them to the Italians and the Ottomans, anyway, for Italy and the Ottoman Empire, the planes were also consumables, and they would not be used for decades.

Regarding the cruiser, the Edward has been built and successfully delivered for sea trials, this sea trial is a passing scene, with the technical support of the British Royal Shipyards, there should be no problems with the performance of the Edward, and the British War Department is even considering ordering a cruiser from the Port Edward shipyard.

After the completion of the Edward, the Southern African Ministry of Defense decided to continue the order, this time directly starting construction of three ships at the same time, and it is expected that it will not be completed and delivered until next year.

"After all, the Nyasaland military-industrial complex is our own business, and it is always cheaper to sell products to the Ministry of Defense-" Owen obviously has an opinion on this issue.

Everyone has an opinion, the Nyasaland military industrial complex is completely owned by Roque, no matter how much money is earned, the federal government and the Nyasaland government can only levy a fixed tax, and more profits are taken by Roque alone, this reality really makes many people unwilling.

But there is no way to be unwilling, when Roque originally established the arsenal, the federal government of southern Africa has not yet been established, and now the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa clearly stipulates that any newly established enterprises related to the military industry in southern Africa must be approved by the Ministry of Defense, so the Nyasaland military industrial complex has no competitors in southern Africa at all, and the Ministry of Defense has no choice.

"Why didn't Price sell the chairs to Congress at a discount? The Ministry of Defense only buys chairs for a dozen rand, and Congress buys chairs for more than fifty rands, is the butt of the congressman more precious? Roque scoffed, and only allowed the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps.

Price is Owen's eldest brother and Karina's older brother.

The Matilda family is thriving in southern Africa, and of course there are more and more relatives who come to defect, as long as they can get a little relationship, no matter how reluctant they are, they all want to come to southern Africa to report the Matilda family's big thick legs.

If this is the seven aunts and eight aunts who can't be beaten, Owen can still turn a blind eye, and relatives like Price still have to pay attention, so Congress will buy a chair in the fifties.

"What if you don't sell in your fifties? If you want to be an official, you can't afford to be an official, you can't do business, you can lose money by managing a gold mine, you can only take money to provide it, and I didn't let me buy a chair, and I am also the leader of the largest party in Congress, so I don't care where to buy a chair in Congress. Owen immediately blackened his face, it is really a few strange relatives who don't eat enough to do anything, if this is a distant relative, it is better, just ignore it, the eldest brother still can't care about it, otherwise the grape trellis at home will fall.

Of course, Irving wasn't so ugly that even Irving didn't know how Price got the order from Congress, and if it weren't for the Justice Department's involvement in a case, Roque wouldn't know.

This matter ended here, and there was no need for Roque to come forward, and the independent prosecutor investigating the case directly suppressed the matter, of course, it had to be reported to Roque, so Roque used this matter to ridicule Owen.

While Roque and Owen were chatting, Phyllis and Karina were watching the children play on the lawn with a smile on their aunts' faces.

It's really Phyllis's tutoring is too strict, Gavin and Alvin have been learning very heavily since they were young, although Roque did not deliberately protect Gavin and Alvin, but Roque's family is destined to have few friends between Gavin and Alvin, Owen's eldest daughter Eva has gone to school, and the youngest son Carlos has just toddled, and it is the age of rolling all over the ground.

"You let Price manage the gold mines?" Roque was also surprised, and he didn't know when Owen got the gold mine.

"Hehe, even if I have a gold mine, do you think I'll let Price manage it?" Owen also looked disdainful of his eldest brother and didn't explain too much.

Roque later learned that Price took the initiative to go to the Johannesburg Mining Union to find Xiaosi, hoping to find a job in the Johannesburg Mining Union.

Because of the relationship between Price and Owen, Xiao Si will definitely not refuse, so Price became an executive of a gold mine under Xiao Si's name.

This matter is not very good to say, and Xiao Si did not take the initiative to mention this matter to Owen, but Price really had serious problems at work, and "losing money" is just a good way to hear, if it weren't for Owen's face, it is estimated that Price would have gone to court.

Even so, Xiao Si did not fire Price, but simply transferred Price to the Mining Alliance with a high salary, and because of the chair of Congress, Owen finally knew about Price's series of commotions.

Now Price has been sent back to England by Owen, standard southern African operation.
