"Major Hack, this is the labor we sent to you this month. There are a total of 2,000 people. The Mbendu people are young and middle-aged people from 20 to 30 years old. They are absolutely strong in physical fitness and have no infectious diseases or bad habits. They are obedient and obedient, and have certain mining experience. They are definitely the best miners under your command." Portuguese businessman Navarro said respectfully.

"Yeah, it's great. If the labor you provide this time can be as high as the last time, then the laborers next year can also be provided by you." Major Huck just finished speaking, and Navarro made a check with sensible information.

"Boy, don't buy me with this thing. I'm not short of this little money! I also want to stay in Lüderitz Bay for a while! Do your business well and spend more time on business!" Colonel Hack immediately pushed the check back and looked carefully at the civil affairs officers who were preparing to accept labor not far away.

Major Hack is more and more fond of his current life. When he first arrived in Africa, he had thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. The current Luderitz Bay has become much different from the past after more than five years of construction. The towns developed around diamond mining can provide high-quality life for all people. In this "Special Zone" controlled by the Kingdom of Bavaria, there are a total of 2,000 Germans, 11,000 "resident" blacks, and tens of thousands of migrant workers. Major Hack is one of the core personnel who manage this area of ​​80,000 square kilometers!

Recalling the hard life when he first came, and thinking about the orders given to him by His Highness the Prince, Major Hack is now increasingly admired his master. He is simply foresighted! Although Major Hack is a nobleman, he is a complete rustic man. The largest city he has been to is Munich. His life trajectory has not yet come out of Bavaria for more than 20 years... His reflection of Africa is undoubtedly backward, barbaric, black javelins, terrifying poisons, etc.

As a cavalry officer, he was not afraid of any enemy. When he came to Africa with full confidence, the biggest problem they encountered was not the hostility of black people. It was no one... That's right, you read it right, no one! Anyone in later generations can know the situation in Namibia with nothing to do on Baidu. The area of ​​820,000 square kilometers is about 4 and a half Hebei Province, and the result is only 2.4 million people... Each square kilometer is less than 3 people! And this is the population at the beginning of the 21st century!

If time goes back to 1895, under the bayonet of German colonists in a harsh environment, you can imagine how many people there can be seen here, and how many people even the colonists can't figure out. After all, when there was no household registration in this place at that time, Germany had no intention of caring about this matter, but one thing that can be confirmed is that there are very few people...

Then Major Hack immediately transformed from a cavalry officer into a contractor! There is no way, the diamond mine must be mined! If you can't find African laborers, you can only let Hack and the others swing their pickaxe! Hack once protested to the prince, believing that letting the soldiers do this is an insult to him!

Then the prince decisively gave him two choices. The first choice is to give you 1 million marks. No matter what method is used to solve the problem of insufficient labor and living materials. The second choice is to get out immediately and I will find someone else! There are a group of down-and-out nobles in Bavaria waiting for promotion, many of you!

At the critical moment, Dr. Itemel helped Major Hack. As an old fry who has been living in South Africa for a long time, the doctor has a good relationship with the Boers and the British. After all, he found many gold mines. The British need him to start mining, and the Boers also recommended him to buy weapons. Both sides can enjoy themselves!

Under the recommendation of the doctor, the British provided a group of black workers to Major Huck, each of which was around 40 pounds. These people were all rebels and their families in British South Africa. They treated Major Huck at a low price based on the principle of being invisible and being able to pay back money if they were sold.

Facing the 500 black buddies who were actually slaves sent by the British, Huck did not have the idea of ​​directly squeezing out the other party's labor force with the capitalists at the same time! The reason is very simple. If these people kneel in the end, Huck would have to lead people to talk about the pickaxe! What's more, Major Huck also works for people, and he is not the boss. The boss has approved the funds and just use them.

Of course, some people will think about embezzlement, but Hack and others quickly figured out the current situation. Even if you get the money, how do you spend it in Africa? The things you buy through the black market are too expensive, and it is ridiculously expensive! Moreover, the rations sent by regular ships in China are enough. After the trap, the more popular saying in the future is that living materials can be distributed as needed. Anyway, there are only a few hundred Germans at the beginning... As for mailing the money back to China? If you think too much, you will be responsible for the emails. If you are discovered, you will really not be able to take it.

If you want to ask others to help you work, you must at least have enough food first. Although the food is not good, Major Hack is still in charge of food in order to ensure the progress and quality of the project. This treatment is already a paradise for the black buddies who just came out of the concentration camp! The black buddies who came here saw that their life was quite acceptable, and they did not intend to resist or escape.

The world is as black as the crows, but the black compatriots in the world are not a family! Where did those people come from when Europeans engaged in the black slave trade? Only a small number of Europeans caught themselves, and most of them were captured by black tribes! The black people in South Africa came to Namibia and had no relatives. Even if they escaped, let alone whether they could have enough food, they could be arrested as slaves!

So after ensuring the basic nutritional supply of black workers, the blacks honestly chose to cooperate. A small number of senior officers such as Hack also asked for heavy physical labor and began to engage in more valuable and creative activities! Because they found that the vegetables and grain shipped from their own country were too expensive, and it would be cheaper if they bought them from the local area. But the problem is that the local food is not enough to eat...

"Damn capitalist, farmer!" As a colonist, Huck cursed his German colleagues who also belonged to the colonists more than once. This is not to say how high Major Hack's ideological level is, but because the practices of capitalists and farmers have harmed Major Hack's interests. The method of growing a single cash crop on a large scale did make themselves a lot of money, but the consequences caused by this made the German colonial government pay for it!

The direct consequence of all the cultivation of economic crops is a significant reduction in grain yield. In terms of population and land relations in Namibia, in theory, there will never be a problem of insufficient food. After the farmers' struggle, there is a shortage of food and imports. There is less food and people will go hungry when the food prices are high. Part of the turmoil in the German African colonies is the brutality of German rule, and part of the reason is the lack of food.
