African Nationhood

Chapter 209 The Mysterious Labor Department
  There is a very mysterious department within Nanhua Company, which is the Labor Department.

The Labor Department is just its abbreviation, and its full name is the "South West African Aboriginal Resettlement, Labor and Employment Planning and Administration".

The headquarters of the Labor Department is also a mystery. Basically no one knows the specific location of this department.

The Labor Department has always been a secretive department in Nanhua Company because civilians and employers cannot contact it. They can only contact government departments at all levels.

When they need employment, they only need to fill out a "employment application form."

Then you can wait for notification of when and where to receive black indigenous workers.

A large number of cumbersome official documents are exchanged between government departments and the Labor Department. Most of these official documents are sealed by the Labor Department and then destroyed regularly.

The Labor Department is also an organization that is ready to move at any time. Every time the Labor Department moves, they will destroy a batch of documents and materials as well as the old headquarters.

Their initial location was a desert area northwest of Walvis Bay, which was surrounded by wooden fences and barbed wire.

Black indigenous people with strong personalities and unruly personalities were imprisoned there all year round. Every day, you could see the corpses of black people who died because of excessive torture. They were transported out, burned into ashes and finally buried together.

……

Yang Kuan, the head of the Labor Department, is a fat man with a wide body and a fat body. His hometown is Yu Province in the Qing Dynasty.

Yang Kuan was an apprentice butcher in his hometown. If there had not been that disaster, he would have been a good butcher in the future.

He can also marry Sister Hu'er from the master butcher's family and become his son-in-law.

Unfortunately, there was no such thing. The butcher's house was broken into by hungry people, and Sister Hu'er also disappeared.

That catastrophe, which had never happened in a thousand years, left the northern part of the Qing Dynasty and Henan Province full of "uninhabited people for thousands of miles, and the roads were covered with white bones."

Yang Kuan didn't care about feeling sorry for the master butcher and Sister Hu'er. He also followed the hungry people on their journey to escape famine.

Although foreign missionaries organized disaster relief at that time, many people still could not receive relief.

Yang Kuan was too thin at the time and could not squeeze into the crazy crowd and almost starved to death.

Later, the British missionary's men gathered him, handed him over to other British people, and sent him to a ship on a long voyage.

After arriving in Southwest Africa, his life changed drastically.

Among the many immigrants, Yang Kuan showed unusual murderousness and was noticed by Qu Sangqian, who selected him to serve as a soldier in the slave-catching team.

When he was in the slave-catching team, he was so angry that he killed too many people, so he was sent to be the leader of the supervision team that supervises the indigenous people.

Later, the company established an advance camp and the supervision team was changed into the Labor Department.

Then, the Labor Department grew rapidly with the rapid expansion of Nanhua Company.

It originally had a permanent presence to control thousands of black natives, but now it has developed into a secret armed organization that has permanent control of tens of thousands of black natives.

The establishment of the Labor Department is hidden within the military's budget and has more than 3000 people.

They are equipped with all the company's latest weapons and equipment.

With the Company's capture of two Aboriginal kingdoms, the Office of Labor's functions expanded again.

According to Lord Shi and the Military Ministry, the establishment of the Labor Department needs to be expanded and should be around 5000 people.

Since 1884, the Labor Department has begun to find hidden areas within the company's territory to build centralized resettlement and control areas to control the increasing number of black indigenous people.

……

There is an oasis called "Sewanalu" at the junction of North Kara and Oka regions.

It is only a hundred miles away from Hangzhou Town, the capital of North Kara Region (now Hangji, the capital of Hangji District, Botswana).

This is the largest oasis within a hundred miles, with an area of ​​only 23.7 square kilometers.

You can't even find this place on the map, except for the military department's confidential documents that mark it here.

This natural cage terrain makes it very suitable for building facilities such as centralized resettlement and control areas.

It was once an indigenous settlement of the Tswana people. After it was captured by the first advance battalion at the time, it was taken over by the Labor Department.

Then a large number of black workers were deported here and began to build large centralized resettlement and control areas here.

The buildings in this centralized management and control resettlement area are all hierarchical buildings, with fence-type walls built of earth and wood to form isolated areas.

The entire centralized management and control resettlement area can accommodate a total of more than 150,000 people.

After the construction was completed, the place was never empty. There was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages transporting black laborers, heading in all directions.

The headquarters of the Labor Department were also temporarily moved here. Yang Kuan got up early and staggered to the balcony to look at the rising sun hanging in the sky.

He stretched out and after doing some stretching exercises, he came downstairs.

The handsome black slave girl brought him a delicious breakfast, smoked ham and flatbread, and a glass of fresh milk.

Since Yang Kuan took on the position of supervising black people, he has lived a life of superiority to others.

There were more than a dozen black natives serving him.

These slaves were tamed and very obedient, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

However, there is only one internal prohibition within the Labor Department: no molestation of black indigenous people.

But within the Labor Department, the boundaries of this prohibition are blurry.

As long as nothing serious happens, managers mostly turn a blind eye.

As for major events, the standard is very simple, that is, there should be no scandal involving a black indigenous woman getting pregnant and giving birth.

Whenever a scandal like this occurs, emergency management procedures are initiated within the Department of Labor.

The person involved was directly executed, and pregnant female natives were also eliminated.

All the supervisors of the parties involved resigned and were demoted to ordinary soldiers with no possibility of promotion.

Therefore, employees within the Labor Department will supervise each other to avoid scandals.

If you really can't suppress it, you can only sit back and wait for death. There is no hope for rebellion.

In addition, employees within the Labor Department will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement after resigning and will be supervised for life.

Once there are any bad signs, they will be executed directly.

……

The high pressure and darkness within the Labor Department are unimaginable to outsiders.

In order to relieve the psychological pressure of the employees of the Labor Department, Nanhua Company set up a brothel for them composed of indigenous Southeast Asian women.

If you get tired of it, you can go to Jinshan Town to find white prostitutes. The Labor Department can reimburse the cost of going out.

Nanhua Company has already planned to introduce Japanese women to serve as prostitutes.

Moreover, people from the Labor Department also have a relatively high priority in marrying Chinese female immigrants within the military.

These measures are all aimed at ensuring the internal stability of the Labor Department.

If employees within the Labor Department make mistakes and violate regulations, they will only be punished internally, and external agencies have no authority to deal with them.

……

Yang Kuan's life became more and more satisfactory, so his body became more and more obese.

After showing off eight pieces of pie, Yang Kuan pursed his lips.

The black slave girl quickly stepped forward and wiped Director Yang's mouth with a white handkerchief, then stood aside.

Yang Kuan burped and stood in the room waiting for the black slave girl to dress him.

The crisp and simple Chinese clothes were a waste on him, and his big belly was almost impossible to hide.

Therefore, most of the time he is unbuttoned, just open.

Anyway, the climate in Southwest Africa is very warm, so there is basically no need to worry about getting cold.

But today he must fasten his buttons, because Mr. Shi and Lord Shi are coming here to inspect.

……

After the black slave girl helped Director Yang fasten the buttons with difficulty, Yang Kuan casually walked around in front of the mirror twice, sighing in his heart that he should take care of his posture.

His Chinese wife has been complaining about him recently, saying that he is too heavy and can crush people to death when they are close to her.

When Yang Kuan was thinking about how to lose weight, footsteps came from outside the door. As soon as he heard the footsteps, he knew that it was his deputy.

Since the deputy left in such a hurry, Lord Shi should be arriving soon.
