Chapter 851 Heading to Mozambique

Twenty days later, the ship finally docked in Dar es Salaam. Wang Defeng took his younger brother and his family to the Dar es Salaam Immigration Office to inquire about the specific situation.

"Of course, Mr. Dave Wang, because the country does not explicitly prohibit this kind of behavior, but this kind of thing is not easy. After all, it takes time for your relatives to obtain East African citizenship. Do you have the time to stay with them for such a long time? You know, they are likely to be assigned to remote areas," asked the staff of the Dar es Salaam Immigration Department.

Wang Defeng nodded and said, "How many days will it take to complete the procedure?"

"If it is normal, it will take at least five or six days, and even longer, 20 or 30 days. After all, every region is looking for people, and the relationship is very complicated. But now the procedure time has been shortened a lot. Because most of the immigrants are in Angola, Mozambique and Orange, the review is more relaxed. If the time is fast, the naturalization may be completed within one day. "

After listening to the staff's explanation, Wang Defeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He still had more than ten days left for this vacation. If the household registration and other procedures for his brother's family can be completed faster, it should be enough time.

…

Two days later.

The ID card and household registration of his younger brother's family had been confirmed, which made Wang Defeng sigh a sigh of relief. He sent a telegram to his wife in Dar es Salaam, informing her that he was sending his younger brother to Mozambique first and asked her to Stay at home for a while.

Then he took his younger brother and his family to take a family photo at a photo studio in Dar es Salaam. He borrowed a pen from the photo studio and wrote his name and home address on the back of the photo.

After handing it to his younger brother, he said: "Keep this photo, don't get wet. Behind it is my home address and my name in East Africa written in pen. You may not be able to understand it, but give it to me when the time comes." Just reply and show these to the staff at the local post office. I guess you must have a German teacher there who can speak Chinese, so just ask him to write the letter for you."

With that said, Wang Defeng touched his nephew's little head and said: "When Shuanzi starts studying, you can also write letters to your uncle's family. Your cousin and cousin will definitely want to meet your family."

Shuanzi nodded and said, "Uncle, when I learn to write, I will definitely write letters to you and my brothers."

Shuanzi prefers his uncle's family. Although he has never met his uncle's family, his uncle was very kind to him when he was in the Far East and brought a lot of delicious food and fun things.

After several days of preparation, Wang Defeng and his younger brother's family took a boat to the port of Beira. Yes, the area assigned to his younger brother's family this time was the inland west of Beira, mainly the area along the future railway.

The transportation is relatively convenient, which also made Wang Defeng feel happy. He said to Wang Desen: "Now I live in Harare, and before I left East Africa, I heard that Beira was going to build a direct link to Harare. If so, it will be easy for our two families to communicate. If the railway is opened, the direct train will only take one day to arrive. If there is a holiday, I can take my sister-in-law and nephew to visit you. "

Shuanzi asked from the side: "Uncle, what is a railway?"

Wang Defeng said with a smile: "It is a kind of road made of steel. It looks quite spectacular. I can't describe it. You will have the opportunity to see it in the future."

Soon, Wang Defeng's words came true, because at this time, the Habei Railway had already started construction and part of the route had been completed.

Wang Defeng, who boarded the ship at Beira Port, saw the construction site of the Harbe Railway at a glance. At this time, the railway construction in Beira City had actually been completed. The railway was being built inland. In fact, Harare City was also heading east. The construction of this railway is being started in two places in East Africa at the same time. Not surprisingly, the Habei Railway will be completed by the end of this year.

After a simple night's rest in Beira Port, Wang Defeng took his younger brother and his family to the inland. This time they took a carriage.

Even so, it gave my brother and his family a new understanding of East Africa, because horses and cattle are so common in East Africa. When we were in Dar es Salaam, there were still many citizens riding bicycles and trams that could run by themselves. , which was an eye-opener for my younger brother and his family.

Wang Defeng is used to these things. After all, he once served in the army, so even railways are not too rare for him. When he was a soldier, he was almost numb.

Wang Defeng and his party basically drove along the railway line. Of course, after walking for a certain distance, it turned into grassland.

The number of people in the group was not small. In addition to Wang Defeng and his younger brother Wang Desen's family, there were hundreds of immigrants. In addition to these people, there were also National Defense Force soldiers responsible for sending them to their destination.

Mozambique is now under military management, so the immigration work is mainly responsible for the military, and Wang Defeng, who has just retired, can also talk to them.

"Young man, when did you join the army?"

The young soldier in front of me looked like he was just starting out, with a childish look on his face.

"Uncle, it turns out you know German!" the soldier said in surprise.

"Haha, I am originally from East Africa, so I can naturally speak German. And not only can I speak German, I used to be a Wehrmacht soldier like you."

"Is it true? Uncle, I thought you were an immigrant. After all, this team is mainly composed of immigrants from other places."

Wang Defeng shook his head and said: "My family, they are mainly from the Far East. They immigrated to East Africa this time. They are not familiar with the place, so I will send them off. Once they are settled, I will go back to work."

"Uncle, aren't you a soldier in the National Defense Force?" the young soldier asked.

"As I said, it was before. I just retired last year, and the government arranged for me to work in a factory. But taking advantage of the break, I applied for a long leave and went back to my hometown in the Far East to pick up my relatives."

"Uncle, where are you from?"

"Harare."

"Harare is a good place. I heard that it is considered a big city in the country. The previous railway seemed to lead to Harare."

Wang Defeng nodded and said: "That's true, but it's actually similar across East Africa. Although Harare is a big city, the life..."

Wang Defeng chatted with the soldiers escorting the immigrants, and he got a lot of information. For example, the place where his brother and his family went this time was almost more than 100 kilometers away from Beira, and it was not a white land with nothing, but the former Portuguese land. The colonial stronghold left by the people.

There is also a small army stationed there, so safety is not a problem, and the living facilities are relatively complete. There are Portuguese plantations, and the overall living environment is not bad, which also reassures Wang Defeng a lot.

The younger brother's family could only listen to Wang Defeng's chat with the East African Defense Force soldiers as if they were reading from heaven. This was a common understanding among other immigrants. Most of the immigrants accompanying them were from the Far East, and the few white faces were not Germans. On the contrary, From the Bosnian region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Nowadays, it is difficult to recruit Germans, so East Africa focuses on other ethnic groups. Bosnia is a mountainous area in the southern part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with a very poor economic level.

In less than three days, the group arrived at the destination of their trip. After settling down with his younger brother and his family, Wang Defeng, who had established a good relationship with the local garrison, said goodbye to his younger brother and his family and embarked on the road back to Harare.
