Chapter 169 Huck's Anomaly in Africa 2

In desperation, Major Hack could only do his best to make up his own food and clothing. Fortunately, His Royal Highness has subsidies for the annual grain consumption of colonies. He gives you so much money. As long as you can manage your own mouths, you can spend the remaining money yourself. Based on the principle that you can save as much as you can, all the rest is your own. Major Hack began to hire local Africans to grow food......

Farming requires people. Major Hack first targeted the black uprisingers detained by the German authorities... Because these people are cheap! You can live by just giving them some food. As for resistance? Well, the first black buddies from Africa disagree. I finally had a full meal. Whoever wants to ruin my job is the unimaginable enemy! In addition to 5 escaped, 10 were reported and exposed by black buddies from South Africa to shoot targets, the remaining 85 people fought and worked honestly.

With the support of sustainable development theory and with the support of more abundant funds, Hack quickly solved the problem of survival of the colonies, but with the development of such as railways, mining and ore roughing, and necessary industrial projects, Hack found that the local manpower gap was too large.

According to Dr. Yitmer's estimate, it is impossible to complete the construction tasks of railways and mines without tens of thousands of workers. Many projects in Africa are still based on manpower and animal power, with few machinery, and maintenance and transportation after transportation is also a problem.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient manpower, Hack even did not hesitate to start from the black tribes that once resisted the planters! "As long as you enter my jurisdiction and guarantee not to make trouble, then you and your family will get a security guarantee!" A thing called "Green Card" appeared in German Namibia. As long as the trouble is not particularly big, as long as you can run to Hack's jurisdiction and sign a contract, then you will be safe, at least within the jurisdiction!

Major Hack suddenly realized that his troops were the most powerful armed forces in the entire Namibia region! The number of armed forces of the German colonial authorities in Namibia was only 500! By 1895, Major Hack had 200 cavalry, 600 infantry, 300 local African colonial troops and 200 urban management!

Sometimes the colonial authorities need to suppress the rebellion and let Major Hak take action. There is no way, the entire African colonial authorities have only 50 cavalry... The mobile force is so pitiful! But thinking about it, when the rebellion in Namibia broke out, the Germans only mobilized 1,500 soldiers. Now Major Hak found that as long as he did not commit suicide, the Namibia region would be straitor! As for sheltering prisoners and raising evil spirits to deal with competitors, there was no pressure at all. Many planters next to Bavaria have cut off sisal and changed to food under Hak's "friendly persuasion"!

What? What do you think about the German government? What else can you think about it? The local German government found that the pressure to maintain stability has been greatly reduced, and the number of marks sent by the other side is sufficient! Who cares about the experience of several farmers? Of course, there are also several people who sued Major Hack in China through relationships, but the result is very obvious. Those who are not clean themselves naturally cannot deal with the "corrupt feudal ****." After the German central government found that the economic situation of the colonies gradually improved, it did not care much about the local situation. After all, the current Namibian economy is also booming, right?

There are many things in the world that have developed beyond people's expectations. Major Hack wanted to use bayonets to protect Bavaria's interests in Africa, but now Major Hack has become the "guardian god" in the eyes of black people. After all, it is more economical and cost-effective to replace bayonets with bread.

And now these black people are employees of the "SAR". If something goes wrong, do you go to work? Stimulated by the expanding human demand, Major Hack began to focus on other places. In addition to the "good" cooperative relationships among local Boers, Major Hack and Dr. Itemer also focused on the Portuguese colony in the north of Namibia!

"From the cost point of view, black prisoners from British South Africa and the local area are more suitable as laborers. They only need to have enough food to support their families and have a little money. If we hire labor from the Portuguese, in addition to normal food and meager wages, we also need to pay extra money to the Portuguese, and also back and forth travel expenses, which is a lot of money!" Hack has raised this question more than once.

Hack is right. In addition to normal labor costs, Hack also needs to give money to the Portuguese! One of the largest trades in Portugal in the African colonies was the export of labor. In the Portuguese colonies, every African adult man had to work for the Portuguese for 6 months free of charge every year! The shrewd Portuguese merchants "packed" these labors to where they needed. In the end, most of the compensation received by the free labor of blacks flowed into the pockets of the Portuguese government and merchants.

"You will know what you should know. You will naturally know what you shouldn't know. Don't ask too much. There are many things I just execute without knowing why." Dr. Itemel's answers are the same every time, just not giving Hack a clear answer. Of course, another reason is that Dr. Itemel does not know what His Royal Highness the Prince plans to do, but when a special working group came to German Africa, the doctor with a keen sense of smell seemed to feel something! A strong smell of conspiracy.

Humans have a characteristic, that is, they can tolerate others' lives worse than themselves, but they can't stand it if they live better than themselves! Especially everyone is a black brother, you are from South Africa and I am from Angola. Why do you eat so well every day and have a salary? I can only get enough water when I come here? Why can your family eat bread? I only have vegetable soup here?

Then someone will tell these indignant Angora black buddies that, in fact, the money spent on you by the Germans is the same as the money spent on others, but a considerable part of it was intercepted by the Portuguese. It would be fine to get fair treatment, just not go back. I'll get you a death certificate here and then stay in Namibia to get you a record. Isn't it enough? Of course, the premise is that you have to perform well and be willing to contribute your strength to this "beautiful" jurisdiction.

What? You still have family members in Angola, so you can't bear to leave! It's okay! Tell your family about what's going on here, and also the chief who brought some of our "gifts" to your chiefs. Encourage them to "chat" with the Portuguese when they're fine, and then make a connection or something. In short, it's just to find a way to intensify local conflicts.
