The promised one box of cans per day is actually in the hands of the workers, and will be taken away by the soldiers on duty when they cross the barbed wire fence.

There must be some workers who are unwilling to give up. Xiao Hei has a happy-go-lucky personality. He doesn't want it even if his wife and children say he doesn't want it. He has no sense of family responsibility, so some workers eat the canned food themselves first.

The soldiers on duty were naturally not polite, so every day workers were beaten with bruises and bruises on the barbed wire fence, which was horrific.

These colonial soldiers were indeed ruthless. Like other British colonies, the colonial troops in East Africa followed the pattern of white officers and indigenous soldiers. Almost all the soldiers were East Africans, but these East African soldiers were beating these East African workers.

At that time, they were really merciless in their attacks. There were a few soldiers who were particularly ruthless. They just took this kind of thing for fun. The worse the workers screamed, the happier they were. It was simply perverted.

The National Guard is silent here. There are no Africans in southern Africa. Even if they are, they are in factories or mines. They are rare in daily life.

Most of these National Guard soldiers are young people in their late teens or early twenties. Many of them have no idea what southern Africa was like during the colonial era. So when they see the attitude of East African soldiers towards East Africans, they become a little bit more accepting.

cannot.

This has a lot to do with the requirements of the southern African federal government.

In the various propaganda claims of the Southern African federal governments at all levels, the Southern African military is to serve the citizens of Southern Africa. It is not said that the military and civilians are like one family, but as long as people ask the military for help, the military must provide the help they can.

Because you don't know whether the person asking you for help is also the parent, sister, or daughter of a comrade.

Many southern Africans believe that I help others because I want others to help my family when they need help.

So when they saw East African soldiers beating East African workers for fun, the outlook of many National Guard soldiers was seriously challenged.

"It's normal. It's not just like this in East Africa. It's like this with us - all the colonies around the world. This is why we want to defend southern Africa. We want to protect not only the federal government, but also our families and our families."

A hard-won happy life - "Ma Lin still has a way of doing ideological work.

Southern Africa has always attached great importance to the ideological education of its citizens. Governments at all levels of the federal government do not use justice to save people. They just start with families and relatives, and the results are still very good.

"The same was true in Southern Africa thirty years ago. At that time, most of you were not born yet. Your parents should have experienced it. This was a difficult process. We defeated the Boers, established Southern Africa, obtained autonomous status, and worked hard to

To build our homeland, you have all visited the military museum and you should know that history. Just ten years ago, the land under our feet was Tanganyika under German rule. The reason why we are here is to make this

This kind of situation will not happen in southern Africa, and our families will not be treated like this." Marin sat in the corridor, the coffee in his hand was misty, and he looked into the distance through the dense rain, feeling guilty.

"There are tens of thousands of people across here and there is so much free land. Why not organize these people and set up a national farm like ours here?" A freckle-faced recruit wondered.

"It's not that easy. Let's not talk about whether those high-ranking colonial officials are willing to do it. Those East Africans may not be willing to do it either." Grant laughed. It is not that easy to copy the work of southern Africa.

"Why?" The recruit was very surprised.

"Because of tradition, for these East Africans, their ancestors have lived such a lazy life for thousands of years. Why do so many people prefer to lie down rather than work to make money? Because lying down is comfortable, so there is laziness.

Excuse." Lance used to work in a construction company, and he had seen too many people like this.

Christian Construction Company also has a weekly salary system. Even if the salary of foreign workers is not high, it is divided into four payments every month.

Africans and Indians are similar. Most workers take leave after receiving their salary and will not go back to work until they have spent all their money. Saving? Raising children? Supporting the elderly?

Are you kidding!

The same is true in the camp. Marin tried to use incentive mechanisms to complete all the work as soon as possible.

However, the incentive mechanism that is invincible in southern Africa has lost its effect here. No matter how many rewards are given, it will not make them move faster. The temptation of rewards to them is not as effective as the whip in the hands of the supervisor.

"If you give them enough benefits, there will still be people who are willing to work hard, but you also know the situation. They can't even bring back cans every day, so what's the use of trying harder?" Marin learned more about the situation, and it was the same.

Nothing can be done.

The poverty of Africans is not entirely caused by Africans.

Maybe Africans really do not have the ability to govern a country well, but if a relatively relaxed environment is created for Africans, there are still Africans who are willing to work hard.

Examples in this regard are not easy to cite. The Greenwood Riots in 1921 and the Rosewood Massacre in 1923 are both representative examples. Africans in both places have lived a good life through their own efforts. The town of Greenwood even

Known as "Black Wall Street".

However, in a white-dominated society, such a situation was not allowed to happen at all, so the town of Greenwood was directly bulldozed, and Rosewood was completely burned down.

"Gentlemen, we can no longer use these East African workers -" military doctor Cao Yanbo hurriedly came over to remind.

"What happened?" Marin already had a premonition that something was wrong.

"Several workers fell ill at the same time, with very severe malaria. I suspect that a large-scale infectious disease has broken out in the refugee camp opposite, so -" Before Cao Yanbo could finish speaking, Ma Lin realized the seriousness.

"Send all the workers back, close the border, and don't allow anyone to enter or leave -" Marin was decisive. The sanitary conditions in the refugee camps were already very poor, and now that it was the rainy season, the probability of a disease outbreak was indeed a bit high.

After the COVID-19 outbreak, someone asked a question: Why is the epidemic not serious in Africa?

The answer is very simple. In Africa, COVID-19 is the younger brother. There are a large group of predecessors in front of it, such as plague, smallpox, malaria, AIDS, Ebola virus, etc. These diseases will break out every once in a while, so it is really not their turn.

COVID-19.

Considering that the plague has not been eradicated in the 21st century, one can imagine the situation in 1928.

Cao Yanbo reminded him a little late. Just across the barbed wire fence, the refugee camp has now become a hell on earth. Hundreds of people die every day. Not all of them die of illness, but a considerable number of them die of severe malnutrition.

As mentioned before, tens of thousands of people gather together and rely on this method of collection to simply not meet their nutritional needs.

In the case of the colonial government in East Africa, don't expect much help from the colonial government to the refugees. The border in southern Africa is not open, so the situation on the other side is a bit miserable. If the Victoria Agricultural Association had not taken the initiative to provide help, the situation would have been even worse than it is now.

.

Since the price guarantee system was established in southern Africa, farmers' income has been guaranteed, and farm profits have also been rising.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis, agricultural exports in southern Africa were affected to a certain extent, and businessmen were not very enthusiastic about purchasing agricultural products. Agricultural associations played a huge role at this time, purchasing agricultural products from farms at the lowest protective prices, and ensuring farm income as much as possible.

However, the agricultural products cannot be sold after harvesting, and we cannot just watch them spoil, so every day the Agricultural Association sends several trucks to deliver some potatoes, cassava, corn and other grains, and occasionally aquatic products from Lake Victoria.

With these aids, the refugees on the other side of the barbed wire can barely survive.

Although this is a good thing and demonstrates the generosity and humanity of southern Africa, it also brings some side effects. East Africans don’t care whether the food is good or not, as long as it can fill their stomachs. Without these aids, many East Africans may not be able to survive in order to survive.

Left.

Well now, since we are left here to survive, let’s just wait. What if one day the Southern African federal government opens the border——

Then you'll reach the sky in one step.

On the same day that someone was discovered to be sick, several National Guard soldiers also showed symptoms.

Marin sent symptomatic soldiers back to rear hospitals for treatment and requested more support from the Victoria state government.

On that night, dozens of out-of-control refugees tried to climb over the barbed wire fence at night, but were discovered by patrolling soldiers.

The soldiers fired warning shots but had no effect, so they opened fire and six people died on the spot.

At this time, Rock's attention was finally attracted, so Bunian finally got the opportunity to meet Rock.

"Can you control the situation at the border?" Rock preemptively struck.

"Lord, what do you mean?" Bunian is also a noble, so etiquette still needs to be discussed.

"I'm asking if you can end the gathering of refugees at the border. If not, then let Southern Africa manage East Africa -" Roque said simply and rudely. If he could, he would solve the problem quickly. If not, he would change it to Southern Africa.

Come.

Of course, if it were southern Africa, there would be no East African colonial government in the future.

"Lord, you can't do this-" Bunian was horrified, and he had no doubts about Rock's determination.

"One week, I only give you one week. If you cannot solve this problem perfectly within one week, then Southern Africa will intervene." Roque did not bargain with Bunian, and did not waste much time here.

on things.

"Okay, Lord, we will solve it as soon as possible -" Bunian was sweating profusely and his mood was more chaotic than the rain outside the window.
