During the World War, the number of Africans in southern Africa was rapidly decreasing, and the large number of Africans joining the army was partly due to the fact that the federal government of southern Africa had changed its colonial policy.
In the past, the colonization of Africa by European countries, because of the lack of human resources in Europe, mainly relied on Africans to create wealth, which led to the formulation of strict immigration policies in each colony, strictly prohibiting Africans from moving out of the colonies, and ensuring that there were enough Africans for white people to oppress, so as to maintain the rule of the colonial government.
This is very unfair to Africans.
The natural environment in Africa is so good that the local Africans don't need to work hard to have no worries about food and clothing, which leads to the fact that Africans are free by nature, without a sense of crisis, and in harsh terms, lazy, casual, and lazy.
The white people regarded themselves as the saviors of Africa, and they brought advanced culture and modern industrial civilization at every turn.
The problem is that Africans don't need your advanced culture and modern industrial civilization, which is imposed on Africans by whites, and now Africans have no ability to resist, so they can only give in helplessly, and wait for the awakening of Africa's national consciousness, and then see how the whites justify themselves.
Southern Africa is more enlightened in this regard, and with the replenishment of a large number of Chinese labor, Southern Africa is less and less dependent on Africans, and the farms in southern Africa used to be thousands of acres at every turn, and farmers had to hire a large number of Africans to work, and they were unable to upgrade their farms.
Now more farms are "small" farms of one or two hundred acres, coupled with the heavy use of agricultural machinery, the demand for African labor on farms is declining, and only the labor-intensive mines still have a strong demand for cheap African workers.
After the end of the world war, southern Africa gradually relaxed the restrictions on the movement of Africans, and if Africans were willing to go to several African countries around southern Africa, southern Africa not only did not impose restrictions, but also gave the green light at the same time to give Africans a certain amount of cash compensation, of course, the reason was certainly not compensation, but to buy those Africans' property in southern Africa, and cut off their hope of returning to southern Africa in the future.
Against this backdrop, there are a lot of workers who have fled from the mines.
In the past, Africans wanted to leave, but the colonial government wouldn't let them.
Now that the colonial government has finally lifted its restrictions, there are really not many Africans willing to remain in southern Africa and be enslaved, and more and more Africans are voluntarily moving to the Kingdom of Mozambique, the Republic of Congo, and the Kingdom of Congo.
These countries are all countries founded by Africans, and for every African family that voluntarily leaves southern Africa, the federal government of southern Africa will give each person about two rand in compensation, and some African families with a population of more than 20 people can easily get about forty rand in compensation, which is a huge amount of money for Africans in southern Africa.
Last year, the statistics of the federal government showed that the annual income of each adult African was about ten rand, which was not bad compared to Africans before the establishment of the federal government, but it was not much on average, and Africans did not have the habit of saving, and the salary could be spent in less than three days, and many factories had to change the monthly salary to a weekly salary in order to restrict the consumption behavior of African workers, so that at least the life of Africans would be more stable.
It is said that Basutolan, one of the two major Africans in southern Africa, is now less than 200,000 Africans, and these 200,000 are still decreasing rapidly, and it is estimated that by the end of the year, the federal government will get a completely deserted Basutolan.
When Qin Ling handed over several escaped workers to the patrol, Mu Mu came to Yaya's home in Ulysses to complain to Yaya.
"When the federal government launched an attack on Tanganyika, we at Fort Glory went all out to fight with the Southern African army - during the world war, we at Fort Glory sent at least 100,000 troops to Europe to fight, all with the aim of giving our Fort Glory its rightful place after the world war, at least not being used as cannon fodder that can be consumed at will - now that the world war is finally over, not only have we not been recognized by the federal government, but we are forced to leave Tanganyika, why is this, Has the Lord forgotten the promise he made to us? "Mumu really can't accept the current situation, and it is true that Fort Glory did contribute during the World War.
Just a few days ago, Mu Mu finally learned the results of the federal government's discussion of Fort Glory, there was no applause and flowers, no land and wealth, the federal government promised to give the Fort Glory troops a certain compensation, but asked Mu Mu to disband the troops and accept the management of southern Africa, otherwise the Fort Glory troops would have to fend for themselves.
The federal government has given several options for Mu Mu to choose, whether it is to move to the Congo Free State as a whole or to the Kingdom of the Congo, the federal government is willing to coordinate, and the Congo Free State and the Kingdom of the Congo are also willing to welcome their African brothers.
Mu Mu didn't want to go anywhere, Fort Glory and Nyasaland were only separated by a river, Mu Mu knew very well how fast Nyasaland was developing, and once Mu Mu also hoped that if the area controlled by Fort Glory was included in the jurisdiction of Southern Africa, then the Africans in the area controlled by Fort Glory could also enjoy the same development speed as Southern Africa.
Now it seems that everything is in vain, the promises of the whites are still unreliable, and Roque is powerless to change the situation, regardless of whether the rulers of Tanganyika are German or British, Fort Glory is the outcast.
"Mu Mu, I want to open up, there are some things that we can't control, and the Lord is also British, don't expect him to help us fight for our interests wholeheartedly." Yaya is not stupid, he has lived in Ulysses for a long time, and if he ignores his skin color, his daily behavior and language are no different from those of Ulysses.
But Yaya is still not a Southern African, and it is surprising that Southern Africa is stubborn at this point, even an African like Yaya who has a huge wealth and a certain social status cannot obtain an official identity in Southern Africa, so Yaya will always be a guest of Ulysses, not the owner of Ulysses.
Now Ulysses, is the North Sea coast of the aquatic products processing center, South African companies in Ulysses built two food processing plants, not only to the North Sea aquatic products processing, but also to the North Sea around the agricultural products, food processing factories also have African workers work, but those African workers can usually only be responsible for some less skilled manual work, technical work and management work are white or Chinese are responsible.
"So what should we do? To endure the oppression and enslavement of the southern Africans in this way? Mu Mu's face was expressionless, and anger could be seen in his eyes.
"When the Belgians left the Congo Free State, I thought that southern Africa would easily annex the Congo Free State, but I didn't expect that Southern Africa supported two local-dominated countries in the Congo Free State, the white people of the Congo Free State established the Republic of Congo, and we established the Congo Kingdom, this is the hope that the Lord prepared for us, go to the Congo Kingdom, if you have the strength, overthrow the king of the Congo Kingdom, and you will be the king of the Congo Kingdom, isn't this a better choice than staying in Southern Africa?" Yaya understands the situation in southern Africa, and the low status of Africans in southern Africa is not caused by Roque, and it will be more and more difficult for Africans to live in southern Africa in the future.
"Overthrow the king of the Kingdom of Kong-" There was a flash of ferocity and greed in Mu Mu's eyes, it sounded like this was indeed a good choice, and the prince would have a kind of Xiangning?
Mu Mu probably didn't know this sentence, but the meaning was similar, Mu Mu had been in a high position in Glory Fort for a long time, and he still had the ability to move his body and nourish his body.
"Yes, overthrow the king of the Kingdom of Kongo, although the Kingdom of the Congo has a large number of troops, but the equipment is backward, the morale is low, Fort Glory still has at least 100,000 troops, and now it is well-equipped and morale is high, it is easy to overthrow the Kingdom of the Congo, or the Republic of the Congo - and the point is that the Lord will definitely support you to do this, even if the Republic of the Congo is overthrown, the Lord will support it, as long as you continue to be loyal to the Lord." Yaya really knows Roque very well, and if Mu Mu continues to be loyal to Roque, then Roque will really support Mu Mu.
Just like supporting Fort Glory against the Germans.
"Will you continue to be loyal to the Lord and be abandoned by the Lord again?" Mu Mu is not worried about whether he can overthrow the Kingdom of the Congo or the Republic of the Congo and survive around Nyasaland, the first thing to consider must be the relationship with Nyasaland.
"No, think about it, if the Kingdom of the Congo or the Republic of the Congo under your rule becomes the labor base of Nyasaland, opening up the mines or farms in the territory to attract investment from the rich in southern Africa and providing all kinds of raw materials for southern Africa, then why would the Lord abandon you? The Lord will even continue to provide you with weapons to help you stabilize the country and even support you in your expansion. "Yaya's position is low, don't want to completely break away from the control of imperialist countries at every turn these days, it is simply impossible, Roque can support Mumu to overthrow the Kingdom of Congo, of course, he can also support others to overthrow Mumu, this Yaya has understood a long time ago.
Otherwise, why is Nyasaland's territory constantly expanding externally, when Roque just got Nyasaland, Nyasaland was only 200,000 square kilometers, and now Nyasaland has almost tripled compared with when Roque just got Nyasaland, and the Katanga mining area of the Kingdom of the Congo is now also under the control of the Nyasaland government, but it is still nominally part of the Republic of Congo.
