While the Portuguese were in trouble, Feng Xun of Bukavu also had a tricky problem.

Before the rebels attacked the Congo Free State, while Nyasaland picked up some of its men, others fled across the Rusi River into Tanganyika before the rebels broke through Bukavu.

This is a huge problem, the rebuilt Bukavu is not on the original site of Bukavu, and the land where Bukavu is now located used to belong to a man named Terry Bruce.

When Feng Xun chose to rebuild Bukavu on this land, he thought that Terry Bruce had died in the war, so this land would naturally become a borderless land, but he didn't expect that Terry Bruce not only did not die, but he actually waited until Bukavu was rebuilt before returning to Bukavu, which was obviously to pick fruits.

"So do you have any other requirements?" Feng Xun was patient, and Robert, who was next to him, leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes to look Terry Bruce up and down with threatening eyes.

"Of course there are demands, in addition to cash compensation, you must also give me a larger farm, preferably a rubber plantation, and where your barracks are located, there is also my old house, so you have to pay me a new house, and besides-" Terry Bruce demanded more, already carried away by greed.

"Where were you when the rebels broke through Bukavu?" Robert interrupted Terry Bruce's ramblings, saying that if he continued, he would be compensated for the newly built barracks.

"I went to Tanganyika, and I can't stay here and be killed by the rebels." Terry Bruce doesn't seem to realize there's anything wrong with his actions.

"You're so shameless!" Robert yelled and put his hand on the holster, if it weren't for the fact that there were still many residents waiting for the results outside the door, Robert would have really wanted to shoot Terry Bruce with one shot.

"What can I do? The rebels are numerous, Bukavu has been abandoned by the king, I can't stay in Bukavu to be buried, and I have the right to live! "Terry Bruce screams, selfish people are like that, they only think about their own interests.

"Human nature is understandable, but what about your loved ones?" Feng Xun's question is more acute, Terry Bruce returned to Bukavu alone, and according to what Feng Xun learned, Terry Bruce had a family in Bukavu before.

"Do you still have the face to mention my family? Why don't you pick them all up at once? It's your responsibility, and you have to help me find my family—" Terry Bruce said that no one would be able to do.

There was little hope of finding it, and after the rebels broke through Bukavu, they killed all the men who resisted or surrendered, and all the women were taken away, and now no one knows their whereabouts.

"As you just said, the king has given up on you, and it is not our duty to take you all away." Feng Xun didn't have to explain this to Terry Bruce on this issue.

In fact, when the Nyasaland Marine Police returned to Bukavu again, Bukavu had already been broken by the rebels, and it was not that the Marine Police would not save them, but when the Xuanwu left Bukavu, the deck was full of people.

"It's all an excuse, it's all your fault!" Terry Bruce hysterical, no matter what Feng Xun says, he is going to put this responsibility on the Nyasaland Marine Police.

"What the hell about this bastard, we should get him out-" Robert was disgusted with Terry Bruce, who pronounced "he" and "it" differently in English.

"Two choices, the first one is that we will help you build a house and you can continue to live here; Second, how much money do you hope to get? "Feng Xun has a good attitude, and although Terry Bruce is disgusting, this matter is not handled well and will cause serious adverse effects.

"At least five thousand pounds!" Terry Bruce offered a ruthless price, and after the reconstruction of Bukavu, each house plus the front and back yards occupied about an acre of land, and all the land occupied added up to less than fifty acres, and if it was five thousand pounds, each acre would be a hundred pounds, which was absolutely sky-high in the Congo Free State.

Not to mention in the Congo Free State, in Johannesburg, where land prices are more expensive, they are sky-high.

"Hehe, are you crazy? Even Belgian farms are not so expensive. Before Feng Xun could speak, Robert burst out laughing.

"I have calculated that the price of the land plus the house must be more than a hundred pounds." It sounds like Terry Bruce had done some research on the current Bukavu before he came to Feng Xun, otherwise he wouldn't have made this offer.

If you count the price of a house, it is indeed more than 100 pounds, although the price of timber in southern Africa is very low, but counting the processing, transportation, and final construction, a house is actually not cheap, at least 50 pounds.

The reason why Nyasaland is willing to pay a huge price to rebuild Bukavu is to directly annex Bukavu one day, and now it seems that all this is indeed very effective, the residents of Bukavu are willing to join Nyasaland now, and Roque did not accept it because of international public opinion.

"You didn't build the house, so why should you ask for money?" Feng Xun is really strange, and he doesn't know where Terry Bruce's confidence comes from.

"But you have not obtained my consent when you occupied my farm, so now you must compensate me for my loss, whatever the value of the farm, which in my opinion is worth five thousand pounds!" Terry Bruce insisted that he believed that the actual price of the land was no longer important because of Feng Xun's sore feet, and that it was a great violation of Terry Bruce's rights to rebuild Bukavu directly on Terry Bruce's land without Terry Bruce's consent.

On the surface, this is true, but no one knew whether Terry Bruce was alive or dead at the time, and when the rebels set fire to Bukavu, many of the corpses were charred and unrecognizable, and everyone thought that Terry Bruce had died during the breach, so naturally no one thought about it.

"I'm sorry, we can't accept your request." Feng Xun's patience has finally run out, if Terry Bruce's asking price is lower, then Feng Xun can still think about it, forget it now, such blatant blackmail, I really thought that Nyasaland would help the residents of Bukavu rebuild Bukavu is a philanthropist.

"No, you have to accept it!" Terry Bruce probably didn't expect Feng Xun to refuse so directly, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Why do you have to?" Feng Xun was curious.

"What are you going to do if we don't accept it?" Robert was also curious, and then glanced at Feng Xun, and both of them laughed crookedly.

"I, I will accuse you to the king!" Terry Bruce was dumbfounded, and it took a moment to think of a solution.

"Do you want to find your king or our king, go, I hope you still have money to buy a ticket." Robert couldn't help it, if he looked for George V, Bukavu was a Belgian colony, and George V couldn't control it.

If you look for Leopold II, even if Leopold II wants to help Terry the Bruce administer justice, it is estimated that Leopold II will not be able to do it.

"You bastards, don't think we don't know, those rebels are what you support, and now you have robbed my farm again, wait and see, I will make you pay!" Terry Bruce doesn't choose to speak, probably because he doesn't understand the truth that trouble comes from his mouth.

"Be careful when you speak—" Feng Xun's face immediately turned cold.

Robert didn't speak, but looked at Terry Bruce with gloomy eyes, presumably thinking about how to make Terry Bruce suffer and die.

Terry Bruce finally sensed the danger, and then remembered that this was Bukavu under the control of Nyasaland, and the current Congo Free State was no longer the Congo Free State where white people were high above the previous days, and countless white people were killed during the Congo Free State rebellion, and it was really casual for Feng Xun and Robert to kill someone in this troubled world.

"So how much can you give me?" Terry Bruce didn't walk away, Robert's words just now had a role, and it is estimated that he really can't afford the ferry ticket now.

During this period, the biggest problem restricting immigration may be the ferry ticket, the situation in southern Africa is relatively special, so the immigrants will be reimbursed for the ferry ticket, other regions, including the United States, will not reimburse the new immigrants for the ferry ticket, after the new immigrants come to the colony, they can indeed get free distribution of land, but before that the new immigrants must have money to get on the ship.

"Fifty pounds, even if fifty acres is good, one pound per acre, a very reasonable price." Fifty pounds was Feng Xun's initial psychological price, and now it's hard to say, even if Terry Bruce insists on five thousand, Feng Xun will agree, of course, whether Terry Bruce can take the money away is a question.

"The price is too low, don't think about it!" Terry Bruce felt greatly offended, fifty pounds was sent to Hanako.

In the past, Bukavu, one pound per acre was indeed very suitable, and even this price was relatively high.

But now in Bukavu, with the stationing of the northern division of Rhodesia, as well as the improvement of infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, and docks, the price of land is naturally rising, and the South African company has decided to build a new food processing plant in Bukavu, and the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company is also preparing to set up a collective farm in Bukavu, so the land in Bukavu will soar further in the future.

"Then you go back and think about it first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Feng Xun is not in a hurry, the gap between the two sides is too big, it may be better to calm down.

"Where?" Terry Bruce is furious that his house has been burned down by the rebels and that the farm has been taken over by the current residents of Bukavu, and is indeed homeless.

But who is to blame for this?

If Terry Bruce had returned just before the rebels left, he wouldn't have faced the situation he is in.

Self-inflicted.
