It is natural for enterprises to make profits from normal business behaviors, and talents like Lapstin are real moths.

At the end of the day, the system in southern Africa is not sound enough, but it is relatively good, and although the federal government is having a hard time, the lives of businesses and people in southern Africa can be described as thriving.

Needless to say, the business environment in southern Africa will not allow the business environment to deteriorate, the federal government has such a difficult life, Ade can't wait to break a penny in half to spend, officials can't get greedy even if they want to be greedy, the political and business environment will naturally be neat and orderly, and occasionally one or two moths will not cause too serious an impact, as long as it doesn't go too far, the federal government is also turning a blind eye.

The basis of southern African society is the farms all over southern Africa, these farms belong to major enterprises and private farmers, the identity of private farmers is complicated, the owners of large farms are immigrants in the early stage, or federal government employees, and now the agricultural tax in southern Africa is almost 5% exempt, and the vast majority of MPs have their own farms, so they do not set too high a tax rate for themselves.

Under the premise of lightly paying for the meager endowment, the life of the federal government at all levels is a bit difficult, officials have power in their hands, but the way to realize it is limited, civil servants are a very ordinary job, salary and benefits are much less than those of senior employees of large enterprises, and people who are really capable are working in large enterprises, and in addition to working in the government, they must also be prepared to work hard.

In fact, there is no need to talk about hard work, and there are still very advantages to becoming a government employee, such as those farms that have just been confiscated by the federal government and run by Germans in South-West Africa and Tanganyika.

The southern African government encourages nationals to purchase assets in neighboring countries, and there are many farms run by southern Africans in Portuguese West Africa, and the federal government will be a strong backing for these nationals who go abroad to buy assets if they are treated unfairly by the local government.

In order to get an order of 20 million pounds a month, Christian wrote a cheque for one million pounds to Lapstine, which was more than seven tons of gold at the exchange rate of the pound before the outbreak of the world war.

So a tonnage medal is really nothing.

The wool comes out of the sheep, the southern African pay is so huge, of course, the benefits are unimaginable to ordinary people, the list of items purchased by the Russian Empire actually includes the Lord car, a luxury that the front-line troops will definitely not use, so there is really a reason why the army of the Russian Empire did not perform well in the world war.

The Lord car is still about 10,000 pounds a car, and at the price before the outbreak of the world war, you can buy almost two "Strong Wind" fighters for export, three "Alligator" armored vehicles, and almost 1.4 million rounds of ammunition if you buy them.

The Lord cars that are not used at the front line, Rasputin buys a hundred at once, and the production of Lord cars in a year is only that.

Compared with the pre-war period, the price of goods sold to the Russian Empire in southern Africa was about 50 percent higher, and the federal government levied a 10 to 15 percent commodity tax on exports, which is now the largest source of revenue for the federal government.

"The front line is in full swing, Paris sings every night, France is now more and more degenerate, last month the immigration office received 30,000 immigration applications, the federal government officially canceled all immigration subsidies, new immigrants are no longer allocated land, compared with the previous immigrants, the current new immigrants are losing money - "Ida has no sorrow or joy, and the current France has nothing to do with Ida."

The federal government's cancellation of immigration preferences will not affect immigrants to Nyasaland, the federal government will cancel the incentives, the Nyasaland government will not cancel, the reimbursement of immigration costs will still be reimbursed, the allocated land is getting less and less, the single-family villas originally allocated to high-quality immigrants are now gradually becoming high-rise apartments, Los Angeles and Port Edward have begun to appear in residential communities composed of apartment buildings at every turn, these residential communities are built by the government, the price is not expensive, the land utilization rate is higher, and now southern Africa, Real estate is not yet a profiteering industry.

However, with the growth of the population, the real estate industry will sooner or later become a profiteering industry in southern Africa, and now Los Angeles and Port Edward have begun to appear formal real estate companies, and Christian has several under his name.

This kind of money, Roque is too lazy to earn, earning the money of his own people is not the ability, and he has the ability to earn the money of the Europeans.

It is gratifying that Roque, Xiao Si and Henry all think the same way now, and Christian is the same, so Christian will go to the bottom.

"They deserve it, they didn't come when they begged them to emigrate, but now that the war broke out, they wanted to take refuge in southern Africa, and the immigration bureau should formulate a policy to invest a certain amount in southern Africa before they can immigrate to southern Africa." Of course, Roque's words are aimed at European immigrants, and Chinese immigrants are not suitable for this meal.

"It's already started, starting next year, new immigrants will have to invest a hundred pounds in southern Africa to immigrate to southern Africa—" Ida smiled coquettishly, no need to ask, there must have been a contribution from the Ministry of Finance in the emergence of such a policy.

"Can there be fewer requirements for skilled workers?" Christian is miserable, and his company also employs a large number of new immigrants, and the federal government's restrictions on new immigrants will definitely affect the development of Christian's company.

"Skilled workers are skilled immigrants-" Ida understated, which solves all the problems, since skilled workers are skilled immigrants, then skilled farmers should also be skilled immigrants, so that the judgment of the "skilled" standard is all under the interpretation of the immigration bureau.

The main reason for the restrictions on immigration is that the proportion of scum among immigrants in this era is too high.

Chinese immigrants are better, they are forced to reluctantly emigrate, among the new immigrants from Europe, the proportion of scum is simply not too high, thieves, liars, robbers and all kinds of people, before the establishment of the federal government, Britain also exiled domestic prisoners to southern Africa, it is really a kick to the ends of the earth.

This is also the reason why serious people are reluctant to go to the colony, especially the scum concentration camp, the ghost is willing to go.

This is also the reason why the moral standards of colonial countries are not very high, and if you talk about morality with a group of thieves and liars, it is better to play the piano to the cow, at least the cow will be quiet.

After the outbreak of the World War, escaping the flames of war became an important reason for immigration to southern Africa, and the positive image established by the expeditionary force in France was also one of the important factors for immigration.

Roque's management of the expeditionary force is still very strict, the colonial troops transferred back to France to participate in the war will have negative news from time to time, and there will be almost no negative news for the Southern African Expeditionary Force, an African soldier of the 103rd Division was a **** Belgian when he was fighting in Flanders, but he was ordered by Roque to be shot directly, even if it is similar negative news, as long as you pay attention to guidance, it will become positive news.

As for the peachy news between an officer and a French woman or a Belgian woman, it is a love affair between the two lovers, which is human nature that cannot be extinguished, and it is also up to how to guide.

Of course, in a harmonious environment, there are also newspapers that magnify some problems indefinitely, such newspapers will generally be directly seized by the French government, for the politicians of the French government, maintaining the unity of the coalition against Germany is the main contradiction at the moment, and other issues are secondary.

Roque and Ida attended the banquet held by the coalition together, Xia Fei and Foch, Gallieni and other French generals had a very close attitude towards Ada, and they didn't mind Ida and Roque being together, if Roque was an ordinary Chinese, maybe Xia Fei and Foch would have some opinions, but now Roque, even if it is Princess Shang, is also eligible.

In European monarchies, princesses are not self-destructive, and few princesses marry the commoners, and princesses are generally used as tools for marriage.

Politics is so cruel, the princesses can't resist yet, born in the royal family have the happiness of being born in the royal family, and there is also the sorrow of being born in the royal family, you are Queen Victoria, and you have not been able to marry love, but married to the interests of the country.

Queen Victoria's first love was Alexander II, the eldest son of the Tsar of Russia at the time, but Queen Victoria could not decide her own marriage, and finally married her cousin Prince Albert, who had already ascended the throne.

Even if Ida was present, Roque didn't bother to give Xia Fei too many smiles, but talked more with Foch and Galileene, for Foch, Roque is now an emotional investment, and for Galileni, Roque is a rare respect, this is an old man worthy of respect, without him, there would be no final victory in the Battle of the Marne, and Paris may have already fallen.

"Now the weapons are more and more advanced, the mode of war is also changing, the cavalry in the era of smoothbore guns is indeed very important, but now it is facing the edge of elimination, compared with war horses, the speed of the car is faster, the endurance is longer, and the maintenance is simpler, the only problem now is the output, but with the increase in production, the gradual elimination of armored vehicles war horses is the future development direction." Roque was happy to talk to Gallieni, and the taxi during the Battle of Marne was really a car, or was it Renault, whose factory was in Boulogne Billancourt, next to Paris.

Of course, there is a difference in how much of a contribution the 6,000 soldiers transported by taxi will play in a war of millions of people.

"That's right, in the war a hundred years ago, it took half a year to gather soldiers from all over the country, but now with the railway, it only takes ten days to assemble and complete, and the swords and guns captured in the past can be directly equipped with troops, but now even if the weapons are captured, they cannot be used, after all, the caliber of the weapons is different." Gallieni's generation is still very pragmatic, but they are already old.

Just like Europe now.
