African Nationhood

At the State Council meeting five years ago, the Ministry of Urban Development promised to build the Xinghan Palace and the Cabinet Administration Building in Hanking (Pretoria).

After the construction of Xinghan Palace, it has been officially opened to the outside world.

The overall framework of the Government Affairs Building was completed in early June this year, and the interior decoration began to be intensively carried out. However, because there were too many rooms in the building, it was not completed in time.

In the rush to decorate in early August, only 8 floors were completed, and the remaining 5 floors still need to be decorated in a hurry.

The entire government affairs building has 8 floors above ground and 2 floors underground. Chairman Shi personally inscribed the building's plaque "Diligent Government Affairs Main Building".

Seeing that the year was already halfway through, they decided to use the already decorated fifth floor as office space, and then slowly decorate the upper three floors. When it was completely completed, they would move up.

……

The Government Affairs Building is a typical European-style building. It is an arc-shaped building, symmetrical and smooth, with beige granite walls and a red tile roof.

The government building is built on the west side of Xinghan Palace, one kilometer away from Xinghan Palace.

Due to the altitude, the overall base is more than 20 meters shorter than the Xinghan Palace, so the heights of the two building complexes are basically the same.

However, in order to ensure respect for Xinghan Palace, the height of the government building is still 2 meters shorter than that of Xinghan Palace.

A 12-meter-high, 3-meter-square granite statue monument was erected in front of the Government Building.

There is a bronze statue on the top of the monument. The content of the statue is: a scene of two men taming a wild horse with whips and reins in hand.

The two people carved on the top of the monument represent Chinese and white people respectively, and the wild horse represents southern Africa. This scene means that the Chinese and white people jointly rule southern Africa.

……

This year's State Council is the first major meeting in the Government Building, so all government officials from the cabinet will come here for the meeting.

The meeting was held in the fan-shaped conference hall on the first floor of the Qinzheng Building. This conference hall was very large and could accommodate thousands of people for a meeting.

The layout of this conference hall directly refers to the overall layout of later United Nations conference venues.

The conference room adopts a cone-shaped layout. Chairman Shi Jintang has the highest status because he sits at the apex of the cone. Prime Minister Ouyang Geng, Secretary-General Cai Shaoji and Vice Premier Shi Jinyong are at the second and third apex respectively. Location.

This positional arrangement also reveals the hierarchy of the four giants in the government.

The seats for the twelve cabinet departments are scattered across the entire fan-shaped arc surface, and behind them are the staff of each department.

The total number of personnel in various departments of the cabinet is only five to six hundred. When the bureaucracy swells in the future, the number of civil servants in the cabinet will skyrocket.

Those who are qualified to participate in such a level meeting must be civil servants with a certain level.

……

When the meeting was held, Prime Minister Ouyang Geng, who was at the second peak, announced the opening.

The ministers of the twelve departments will take turns walking to the center of the fan-shaped point to speak.

There are speakers in the venue to help amplify the sound, so everyone present can hear the speaker's speech.

The ministers of various cabinet ministries and their civil servants walked into the conference hall one by one, and everyone took their seats according to the nameplates.

Because it was a mid-term exam, the expressions of the ministers varied.

Some have smiles on their faces, some have frowns, and some have serious faces.

Individual expressions are different, representing their different moods.

But overall, the report cards of the ministers are pretty good.

……

At 9 o'clock, Chairman Shi, together with Ouyang Geng, Cai Shaoji, Shi Jinyong and others slowly entered the conference hall. The cabinet civil servants present stood up and applauded the four giants present. Chairman Shi Jintang came to his high seat with a smile on his face, and then Prime Minister Ouyang Geng, Secretary-General Cai Shaoji and Vice Premier Shi Jinyong took their seats one after another.

Ouyang Geng turned around and nodded to Shi Jintang, then announced the official start of the state meeting.

"I declare the opening of the State Council on the Medium-term Plan for the South China Dominion for 1908-1913."

"Wow~~~"

After the applause, Ouyang Geng continued to announce, "For the first item below, I would like to ask Minister Futong of the Ministry of Human Resources to introduce the immigration of Nanhua and the total domestic population in the past five years."

Futong stood up and nodded to Chairman Shi, then walked to the podium in the center of the conference hall and began to speak.

Because the conditions have improved, Futong made a bar chart to help understand this speech.

The staff of the Human Resources Department hung a large histogram of the total population on the wall of the conference hall.

As of December 1913, the total population of the mainland was 6 million.

Among them, there are 2559.6 million Chinese, 133.1 million Koreans, 99.8 Japanese, 92.7 Germans, and 89.1 Russians.
There are 63 British people, 63.5 Boers (including Portuguese), 62.3 Southeast Asian ethnic groups, 28.1 Italians, and 10 Arabs. "

Participants could easily see the demographic composition of each ethnic group on the bar chart.

Futong continued to speak: "Here, I would like to express my gratitude again to my colleagues in the Department of Medicine. Without your hard work, our department would not have successfully achieved the goals set by the cabinet."

Xia Yi, the Minister of Medicine and Health, smiled and waved her hand, "Minister Fu, you are so polite. We are all here for Nanhua."

The clerk quickly changed the map, this time it was the population distribution map of each region.

“After talking about the population structure, let me talk about the distribution of people in various regions in the country.

The Namib region is the earliest territory developed by South China. Most of the immigrants in the early period were settled in this area. Today, the total population of the Namib region is 113.6 million, mainly distributed in the area in the north near the West African Administrative Office and the Lunda Administrative Office.

The Orange Grove area is the second area controlled by Nanhua. The soil and water conditions here are better than those in the Namib area.

Although the area is only a fraction of the Namib region, the population density is far greater than that of the Namib region.

The total population of the Orange Grove area is 268.8 million.

As for the Bechuanaland area, there are many deserts and the water source changes according to the seasons. Therefore, there are only 38.1 people in this area, most of whom are herders.

Matabeleland is the most elite and densely populated area in South China. This area has excellent water and heat conditions, and we have a special insecticide called DDT.

Therefore, the population resettlement is sufficient, with a total population of 898.1 million, making it the most densely populated area under our control.

Next, the second most densely populated area is the Transvaal. After we took over, we sent a large number of immigrants to fill this area, and the population quickly increased.

The total population is 567.1 million. We will continue to populate this area in the future to provide sufficient labor for future industrialization.

The water and soil conditions in the Orange area are also very superior, but the population density is smaller, with only 429.9 million people.

Although the East African region is only a newly administrative subdivision, the population filling has not been relaxed, and now there are 438.3 million people.

The Natal Region and the Cape Region are both regions that have just been divided into the West. The total population of these two places is 345.6 million.

As for the population of the Lunda Administrative Region, it has been hovering around 109 million people, and the West African Administrative Region has a population of 76.8.

The number of immigrants transported by Madagascar has now reached 150.2 million. Together with the 112 million indigenous people, the total population of Madagascar is 262.2 million.

Most of the black immigrants among the indigenous population of the Falklands have been moved to the East India Administration. We plan to continue to relocate some mixed-race indigenous people until they are completely eliminated.

The population of each overseas territory will increase significantly in the future. "(End of chapter)
