Chapter 395: Attack and Defense in South Africa (2)
Levi is already old, the former prime minister of the Republic of China has a good complexion, and most of his hair is gray. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The whole person looked relaxed and kind, and he no longer had the same persistence as the old brothers who fought bravely more than two years ago.
Sitting opposite Levi was his cousin Li Yifang, and despite the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the second lady of Emperor Wei Ze did not look old. On the contrary, she also looks alive because she is in good spirits.
"Brother, I don't agree with what you just said." Li Yifang said calmly.
"Africa is not an easy place to govern, and if you don't agree with me, I can't do anything about it." Levi said that he was calm, and at this age, Levi did not have the stubbornness common to older people. In other words, the average old man stubbornly wants to show his authority because he knows that he is no longer capable of doing many things. Levi's, on the other hand, stubbornly told others that he could no longer do it.
Li Yifang has been working hard to talk to Levi for a while, even if she has been rejected repeatedly, Li Yifang has no intention of giving up, "Brother, I have been with Wei Ze for more than thirty years. For more than 30 years, I have learned one thing, those geniuses can always do things that ordinary people can't. But most things in the world don't have to be done in a natural way. You are Wei Kun's uncle, and I only ask you to help the East African Administrative Region send more talents, as long as this is the case. ā
Levi shook his head slightly, "Yifang, I can't help you." When I became prime minister, the country had a population of more than 700 million people. I think this population is just enough, enough. But after a few years as prime minister, I found that these people are not enough people, in fact, they are not enough. Those who are not educated can only be left to cultivate their own land, and those who are somewhat educated may not be able to use it. Those who can use it have already found their own way, and those who want to be stable will stay in the city, and many of those who have made a fortune with their skills have gone to the South China Sea and North America. Although there are some people who are ambitious and smart, they are not reliable at all. Those people don't say they have any abilities and then use those abilities to work with others. Rather, he felt that he had the ability to do things, and then he was promoted to a wealthy position with the merits of these things. I have been an official for so many years, and there is no one who has not failed in working with such people. Even if I try to find someone right now, I'm afraid that all I can find is this kind of guy who aims to get things done. With such a tone, it is better to let Wei Kun work hard in East Africa by himself. ā
Li Yifang frowned, she could understand these words, but at the same time she didn't want to accept them at all. For so many years, all she saw was Qi Hongyi planning for the future for her son Wei Rui. is also Wei Ze's son, Qi Hongyi's intention of thinking that Wei Rui's destiny is his destiny makes Li Yifang very, very unhappy.
"Brother, a good man with three gangs. I don't ask you to send some great people to East Africa, I just ask you to send some people to East Africa for the time being, so that Wei Kun can hold up the scene. For the sake of her son, Li Yifang is very patient.
Levi couldn't help but smile bitterly, he took a few minutes to stop the language, if it was to talk to Weze, Levi wouldn't have to make such effort. "Yifang, the current situation at home and abroad does not allow the situation you imagined to happen. The Governor now wanted to strengthen the policy of state ownership of land, which was aimed at land in North America. Do you think that if someone starts a trick of dividing the merits among heroes at this time, will the governor be able to tolerate them? Now the governor is not facing the old brother, if the governor attacks the old brother, it must be cold to the hearts of everyone. But Du Du faced a group of small guys, the old brothers didn't want to trouble themselves, how many dared to plead? ā
"What does this have to do with Wei Kun in East Africa?" Li Yifang couldn't help but ask.
"If you want to get enough people in East Africa, you have to be a high-ranking official. Don't you think someone would make a fuss about it? Levi was disappointed with his cousin's performance.
Li Yifang's face was very ugly, and there was no kindness in her voice: "Brother! You just said that the governor wants to rectify people, so I want to ask you something. If those people take Wei Kun's affairs as a way of doing things, do the governors think they really want to maintain the state ownership of land? Who doesn't know that the Governor doesn't like blacks, so he never incorporated East Africa into the territory of our Republic of China. If anyone uses the state ownership of land to make trouble, he is rebelling against the governor. So is it justice that they completely ignore the principle of seeking truth from facts? ā
At the end of speaking, Li Yifang's voice became very cold. This made Levi's face a lot more solemn.
"Brother, you have been following the governor for so long, so you naturally know that the governor is extremely strict with himself and lenient with others. However, after so many years, more and more people don't know what to do, and they are simply holding chicken feathers as arrows. Doesn't the Governor want to put things in order at this time? If the governor does not try his best to rectify the situation, will those people really insist that the system of state ownership of land will not be established? At this time, someone wants to muddy the water, but the governor must clean up the source. After Li Yifang said this, she glared at Levi with a straight face, but she didn't speak anymore.
Levi's heart churned, and what Li Yifang said was right. Governor Wezedu didn't want to wash the old brothers with hot hands, and the old brothers knew it well. However, a considerable number of people felt that it was natural for the governor of Wei Ze to do this, rather than that it was the virtue of the governor's life. If these people dare to touch the governor's scale on the core issue, I am afraid that these people will not have any good results. At this time, the governor is the most important time to set rules and distinguish between right and wrong. If someone attacked Wei Kun, the governor would never sit idly by.
Thinking about this joint, Levi finally made a decision, "I can only help Wei Kun within the system." ā
Hearing this, Li Yifang finally showed a smile on her face: "Brother, I don't dare to ask you for extra help, I just ask you to help within the system." I know that kids nowadays either don't want to go out, and even if they do, they don't want to go to places like that in East Africa. Without institutional support, East Africa will not have useful people anyway. ā
"But you have to wait. Now, no matter how many people are sent to Africa, they must first be sent to the province of Madagascar. Now that Britain is fighting a war in South Africa, all the troops and personnel have to be prepared for change in the province of Madagascar. Not only will these people stay in Madagascar or Mozambique, but Wekhun will also need to devote a lot of strength to support southern Africa. Levi explained the change in a slow and logical way.
"I understand." Li Yifang nodded yes.
Of course, Wei Kun knew that his mother was working hard to promote his affairs in Nanjing, so at this time in East Africa, Wei Kun was also doing his best to gain dominance. The first thing, naturally, was the division of the East African administrative region, and the Sudan was divided into three.
North Sudan is now the northern part of Sudan, which is basically desert, with only some oases near Egypt. Now these oases are basically in the hands of the Mahdi. Central Sudan is a large arid area with Khartoum as the core. South Sudan is a wetter part of southern Sudan. This is from the perspective of geographical environment, from the perspective of population, North Sudan is a pure green area, and Central Sudan has green and black, and green is greater than black. South Sudan is a pure black uncle, and green is only a handful of people here.
"Tell Mahdi that if they wish not to go south, we can appoint him governor of North Sudan. Hereditary replacement. And all the areas that Mahdi has conquered to the north belong to him, and we will not interfere. "When Wei Kun released the Mahdi men he had captured in Khartoum, he asked them to relay the thoughts of the people to the Mahdi.
It was not only these people who were released, but those associated with them were "escorted" by their families on the road to North Sudan. Black soldiers, dressed in uniforms and armed with weapons, watched the group of weeping Arabs with wary eyes. The children were crying, the women were crying, and even the men were crying. Judging by their performance at this time, it is probably impossible to imagine how these people kept their mouths shut to protect the Mahdi lurking in Khartoum during the recent war.
From time to time, men and children, old and old, rushed out of the ranks, rushed over and hugged the officer's legs, trying to ask for forgiveness. The black soldier immediately followed the order and smashed them with punches, kicks and butts to restore order to the gang.
The ships on the docks were already guarded, and the hulls were made of cages made of iron bars, and the Arabs were sent in with iron fences and locks with large iron locks. The men would travel north along the Nile, at the railway station on the other side of the falls, where the train would take them to North Sudan County to the Mahdi.
Wang Mingshan has actually formulated these plans, but he has never had the opportunity to implement them. Seeing that Wei Kun implemented these policies with a strong hand and made serious adjustments to these policies, Wang Mingshan also appreciated it in his heart.
"All the departments in the East African Administrative Region have moved to Nanzhan City, and this must be done within two months. If it's too late, the dry season is coming again. That kind of moving under the sun is probably going to kill someone. Wei Kun ignored the attitude of those who opposed it, and firmly put forward his own proposal.
Everyone at the meeting looked at Wang Mingshan, of course Wei Kun could use his father Wei Ze's background to promote the action, and the only person who could stop Wei Kun's action was probably the Sultan Jiedu envoy Wang Mingshan. Wang Mingshan did not approve or disagree, he asked a question, "Central Sudan sits on Khartoum and Port Sudan, and is rich in alfalfa. If a large number of officials move out, the management will not be able to handle it in the future. ā
"Don't be afraid, if we have a parliament, it is equivalent to involving the Sudanese locals who are afraid of us. As for the Arabs who are not afraid of us, give them to the Mahdi if they are related to him. What has nothing to do with the Mahdi, just sell to the Ottoman Empire with those Arabs in South Sudan. Wei Kun said with the radiant attitude that is unique to young people.
"Are we going to send troops to arrest people? Where do we have that kind of troops? The head of the office almost spitted at the corner of his mouth.
Wei Kun smiled: "We don't need our own people. Before the beginning of the Min Dynasty's rule in Sudan, Sudan itself was the largest slave trading center in Africa. After the imposition of rule on the Sultan by the Min Dynasty, the slave trade was completely destroyed. Now we just need to restore this trade briefly. It's just that those people used to trade blacks, and now they trade Arabs. After returning to their old jobs, these people are more skilled than us. ā
"Those people?"
"Back to the old business?"
These two words imply a lot of things, and many officials have really changed their faces.
Wei Kun said with a proud smile: "Recently, I have noticed some people who are very interesting, especially the Besha people, they do unpleasant things, but they are not the kind of rats who have milk and are mothers. I made an agreement with them and they were willing to work with us. ā
At the mention of the Besha people, the indescribable messy and curly hair of many officials immediately appeared in their heads. Those were some very fierce tribes who had caused a lot of trouble in the East African administrative region since the slave trade was banned. When the Mahdi besieged Khartoum, many Besha people fought for the Mahdi and died a lot.
Now that Wei Kun wants to use these guys, many officials are so shocked that they can't even raise objections immediately.
