Like the Kingdom of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo, the Kingdom of Mozambique, as the victorious power in the world war, finally achieved its independent status at the Paris Peace Conference and officially dissociated itself from Portugal de jure.

This meant that no matter how the Kingdom of Mozambique developed in the future, it had nothing to do with the previous suzerainty, so it was easy to operate, and with the referendums frequently mentioned during the Paris Peace Conference, colonialism had a new form and carrier, and began to enter a new stage.

The Kingdom of Mozambique is rich in forestry resources, as well as rich in mineral resources, with more than 32 billion tons of coal reserves, more than 6 million tons of titanium, tantalum ore reserves ranking first in the world, about 7.5 million tons, and natural gas reserves of 5.5 trillion cubic meters, most of which have not yet been mined.

The main reason is that the technology is not mature enough, such as titanium, although this element has been discovered by the English amateur mineralogist Gregor in 1791, but it was not until 1910 that the American chemist Hunter first used sodium to reduce TiCl4 to make 99.9% pure metal titanium.

It is worth mentioning that Gregor is a priest.

The same goes for tantalum, although tantalum was discovered in the early 19th century, it was not refined until 1903 that the metal tantalum was refined, and it is not yet industrially produced.

The role of titanium and tantalum is important, especially for the military industry.

While the Securities and Exchange Commission was reviewing the listing of Binga Forestry, Alvar Noel, the general manager of Binga Forestry, was a guest at Christian's home, hoping that Christian could help Binga Forestry to be listed.

"Binga Forestry meets all the requirements of the stock exchange, last year we made a profit of R250 000 and this year we are ready to develop mineral resources, we have enough human resources, but we don't have the technology and capital, so we need to be listed on the stock exchange." Alva Noel is hopeful that Binga Forestry has been transporting timber to southern Africa mainly through Christian in recent years.

The Kingdom of Mozambique is also the largest source of cheap labour in Southern Africa, with nearly 100,000 people working in Southern Africa throughout the year through Christian Human Resources.

"You have a profit of R250,000? If there is, then you don't need to raise resources to develop mineral resources. Christian doesn't believe the data provided by Alvar Noel, it really doesn't cost much to mine mineral resources, and the main cost is in labor.

The "mining" here does not include refining after mining.

The neighboring countries and regions of southern Africa basically do not have the ability to refine ore, including Madagascar and Portuguese West Africa, and they all sell ore to southern African enterprises for smelting, although those smelters are built locally, but they are not under the management of the local colonial government.

There are three major mineral resources companies in Southern Africa: Favart Steel, Johannesburg Mining Alliance, and Haut-Katanga United Mining Limited.

Favart is mainly steel, the Johannesburg Mining Union is mainly gold, and the Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. is mainly copper and aluminum.

"Mr. Christian, you know the situation in the Kingdom of Mozambique, although the profit of Binga Forestry is indeed 250,000 rand, but our cost is too high, and in the end we can only lose money and make no profit, and the Kingdom of Mozambique is not Nyasaland." Alva Noel bitter melon face, compared to Nyasaland, the business environment in the Kingdom of Mozambique is indeed a bit bad.

The Kingdom of Mozambique was the first country in Africa to become independent from its overlordship, not counting Ethiopia, which had not yet been conquered by a colonial power.

The scum has proven that Africans, who are not well educated, are indeed incapable of running the country independently.

The establishment of the Kingdom of Mozambique has a lot to do with the support of Nyasaland, and Binga Forestry mainly relies on the export of timber to southern Africa to make profits, and the pricing power is in the hands of southern African companies, so the profits will not be too high.

The magnates of the Mozambican Kingdom are indeed quite speechless, when the scum was alive, all the living utensils in the dormitory were made of gold, including the bed.

"Come on, if Binga Forestry is in Nyasaland, then you won't be profitable at all." Christian doesn't believe Alvar Noel's nonsense, Binga Forestry's position in the Kingdom of Mozambique is similar to that of South African companies in Rhodesia, controlling almost all aspects of the Kingdom of Mozambique.

If it's true, it only proves that Alvar Noel's abilities are problematic.

"Mr. Christian, help, if Binga Forestry extracts mineral resources, it will definitely be sold to Nyasaland, which will be beneficial to us." Alvar Noel doesn't blush, the business doesn't make money, and naturally it doesn't generate taxes, which doesn't affect the salaries and shares of Alvar Noel and his managers.

"We?" Christian has a knack for getting to the point.

"Of course—" Alvar Noel opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out a share confirmation, and pushed it to Christian on the table.

That's right, there is motivation when it is good.

Roque ignored Christian's small actions, the stock exchange was involved, the idle funds of society were used effectively, the funds were used by enterprises to expand reproduction, and the federal government also appealed to issue a national debt of 50 million rand for the construction of public transport facilities in Victoria and Dias.

During the German colonization of Victoria and Dias, the main mode of transportation in Victoria and Dias was rail, and although there were roads, they were not even paved with asphalt, and the traffic conditions were very bad.

Now in southern Africa, the most developed transportation is still the three northern states -

The Transvaal, the first asphalt-paved highway in southern Africa, has been extended to Salisbury, the capital of Rhodesia, to the south, while Bloemfontein to the south, to Salisbury, the capital of Rhodesia.

Victoria and Diaz don't even have a single asphalt road, which is a pressing issue for the federal government.

Not only roads, but also railways, before the establishment of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, all railways in Southern Africa were monorails, and now the transformation of these railways is also underway, Nyasaland is the first to convert all the railways in the territory into double-track railways, and the railways in Rhodesia and the Transvaal are being renovated, and the federal government wants to increase investment in public works, so that the federal government can continue to benefit from subsequent operations.

Previously, public facilities in southern Africa were all privately owned, with little involvement from the federal and local governments.

For example, the railways in Rhodesia are all built by South African companies, so that the profits generated by the railways have nothing to do with the federal government and the state government, and are all exclusively enjoyed by South African companies.

The South African company is a giant left over from the colonial period, and if a war breaks out and the South African company refuses the federal government to use the railway in Rhodesia, then the federal government does not even have the right to forcibly expropriate.

Xiao Si will definitely not do this now, but in the future, maybe in the future, he is not afraid of 10,000 just in case.

Before the establishment of the stock exchange, the federal government sold treasury bonds, all of which were contracted by the RAND Bank, which did not have to look for foreign capital, and directly absorbed it in southern Africa.

Now that there is a stock exchange, treasury bonds can be sold on the stock exchange, and although the profits of treasury bonds are not as high as those of stocks, treasury bonds are more stable, and there are many people who are willing to buy treasury bonds.

For example, the RAND Bank, in the past, the federal government issued treasury bonds, and if it could be sold, it could be sold, and if it could not be sold, all of them were covered by the RAND Bank, so the RAND Bank has its current status.

"The popularity of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange has stimulated many people, I heard that Cape Town is also preparing a stock exchange, do you have any ideas?" Henry was not interested in Cape Town, the judicial capital of southern Africa, and Henry, the Minister of Justice, spent less than half of his time in Cape Town in a year.

When the federal government was formed, in order to balance the interests of all parties, it was very strange to determine three capitals, namely Pretoria, Cape Town, and Bloemfontein, which is probably the only one in the world.

The disadvantages of the three capitals are now becoming more and more apparent, and a few years ago there was a proposal to abolish the status of Cape Town and Bloemfontein as capitals and to bring both the judiciary and legislation to Pretoria, but there was strong opposition from the Cape and Orange.

Now the economic center of southern Africa has been moving northward, first in Cape Town, then in Johannesburg, and now in Los Angeles, and Cape Town's status is declining.

Cape Town must be dissatisfied with this, but there is nothing to be done, even Durban, which has been marginalized, has not yet spoken, Cape Town is still the capital, and is not qualified to give opinions at all.

The tragedy in Durban was entirely caused by Nyasaland.

When the federal government was formed, Durban also had the right to compete for the capital, but because of its remote location, Durban eventually lost the competition and Bloemfontein became the legislative capital of southern Africa.

However, Durban was not for nothing, at that time Durban was the largest port outside Cape Town in southern Africa, so Durban obtained import and export qualifications, although it did not get a name, but it received real benefits.

Unfortunately, with the rise of Port Edward and Walvis Bay, not to mention Durban, even Cape Town's status is declining, and Durban's import and export trade rights have been basically snatched away by Port Edward and Walvis Bay, and it has been completely marginalized in southern Africa.

"You can open any stock exchange, but you have to be able to sell your shares." Roque isn't afraid of competition, and Cape Town can try it if he feels like he's on the edge.
