In desperation, Major Huck had no choice but to do it himself. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince is subsidized for the annual food consumption in the colony, and the money is given to you so much, as long as you can manage the mouths in the jurisdiction, you can spend the rest of the money yourself. In line with the principle of saving what you can, the rest is all your own. Major Huck began employing local Africans to grow food.

Farming also requires people, and Major Huck first targeted the black insurgents in custody by the German authorities. Because these people are cheap! You can live if you give food to eat, as for resistance? Well, the black buddies from Africa are the first to disagree, Lao Tzu is so easy to eat a full meal, whoever wants to smash Lao Tzu's rice bowl is the enemy of the world! In the first batch of 100 prisoners, except for 5 who escaped, 10 who were reported and pulled out to shoot targets by black buddies from South Africa, the remaining 85 people worked honestly.

Supported by the theory of sustainable development and with the support of more abundant funds, Huck quickly solved the problem of the survival of the colony, but with the development of projects such as railways, mining and rough processing of ores, and necessary industrial projects, Huck found that the local manpower gap was too great.

According to Dr. Itmer's estimates, the construction of railroads and mines would not have been possible without tens of thousands of workers. Many projects in Africa are still based on manpower and animal power, and there are few kinds of machinery, and maintenance and transportation are also a problem after they are transported.

And in order to solve the problem of lack of manpower, Huck did not hesitate to even start with the black tribes who had rebelled against the plantation owners! "As long as you enter my precinct and promise not to cause trouble, then you and your family will be safe!" A thing called a "green card" appeared in German Namibia. As long as it's not a big deal, as long as you can get to Huck's precinct and sign a contract, that's fine. You'll be safe, at least within the jurisdiction!

Major Huck suddenly discovered that his troops were actually the most powerful armed force in the entire Namibian region! The number of armed forces of the German colonial authorities in Namibia was only 500 people! By 1895, Major Haq had 200 cavalry, 600 infantry, 300 native African colonists, and 200 chengguan!

Sometimes the colonial authorities needed to suppress the rebellion and let Major Huck out, but there was no way, the entire African colonial authorities only had 50 cavalry. The mobile forces are simply pitiful! But think about it. At the time of the major rebellion in Namibia, the Germans had only mobilized 1,500 soldiers. Now Major Huck has found that as long as he doesn't die himself, Namibia will go sideways! As for shielding prisoners, raising murderers to deal with competitors or anything, there is no pressure at all. Many planters in the Bavarian precinct have cut down sisal and planted grain instead under Huck's "friendly persuasion"!

What the? What do you think the German government thinks about this? How else can you look at it, the local German government found that it was much easier in its jurisdiction, the pressure of "stability maintenance" was greatly reduced, and the amount of marks sent from the opposite side was sufficient! Who cares what happens to a few farmers? Of course, there were a few people who had a lawsuit with Major Huck in China through connections, but the result was obvious. Those who are themselves unclean naturally cannot deal with the "rotten feudal ****." And the German central government, after discovering that the economic situation in the colonies was gradually improving. I don't care too much about the local situation, after all, Namibia's economy is thriving now, isn't it?

There are a lot of things in the world that are a little more unexpected than people expect. At that time, Major Huck also wanted to use the bayonet to protect Bavaria's interests in Africa, but now, Major Huck has become the "protector" in the eyes of the blacks. After all, it is more economical and cost-effective to replace bayonets with bread.

And now these blacks are all employees of the "Special Zone", if something happens to someone, you go to work? Spurred on by the ever-expanding manpower demand, Major Huck began to look elsewhere, except for the local Boers, who had always had a "good" relationship. Major Huck and Dr. Itmer also focused their attention on the Portuguese colony north of Namibia!

"In terms of cost, black prisoners from British South Africa and the local community were more suitable for labour. All they need is enough to eat, to be able to feed their families, and to have a little bit of money, and if we hire labor from the Portuguese, we need to pay the Portuguese extra money in addition to normal food and meager wages, as well as the cost of going back and forth. It's a lot of money! Huck had asked this question more than once.

Huque is right, in addition to the normal labor costs, Huque needs to give money to the Portuguese! One of the biggest trades of Portugal in the African colonies was the export of labor, and in the Portuguese colonies, every adult African man had to work for the Portuguese for six months a year free of charge! And the shrewd Portuguese merchants "packed" this labor to where it was needed. Most of the money paid for the free labor of the blacks ended up in the pockets of the Portuguese government and merchants.

"You should know, you will naturally know, if you shouldn't know, don't ask more, there are many things I just do and don't know why." Dr. Itmer's answer was the same every time, that is, he did not give Huck a clear answer. Of course, the other reason is that Dr. Itmer really didn't know what His Royal Highness was going to do, but when a special task force came to German Africa, the doctor with a keen sense of smell seemed to sense something! There is a strong smell of intrigue.

Human beings have a characteristic that they can tolerate that others are worse than themselves, but they can't stand being better off than themselves! Especially everyone is a black brother, you are from South Africa, I am from Angola, why do you eat so well every day and have a salary, Lao Tzu can only be full of water when he comes? Why can your family eat bread, Lao Tzu only has vegetable soup here?

Then someone will come and tell these indignant Angolan dudes that the Germans spend the same amount of money on you as they do on other people, but a considerable part of it is withheld by the Portuguese. If you want to be treated fairly, it's okay, just don't go back, get you a death certificate here, and then stay in Namibia to get a record for you, isn't it? Of course, only if you perform well. Willing to contribute to this "beautiful" jurisdiction.

What the? You still have your family in Angola, and you are reluctant to leave! That's okay! Tell your family about this and bring some of our "gifts" to your chiefs. Encourage them to "talk" with the Portuguese when they are fine. And then get a tandem or something. In short, to put it bluntly, it is to find ways to intensify local contradictions.
