Chapter 27 Chapter 21 Political Exiles

Although people from all walks of life held pessimistic views, compared with other similar events, the revolution in South Africa can be said to have been completed without bloodshed.Television, a media that has always been plagued by many problems, has played a positive role this time.The Philippines set a precedent many years ago, when they know that the whole world is watching, most people unconsciously tend to behave responsibly.There are a few dastardly exceptions, but carnage is rarely on camera. Most of the Dutch-Africans left South Africa before the transfer of power when they found the revolution inevitable, and as the new government bitterly complained, none of them left empty-handed, with trillions of fortunes diverted to Swiss and Dutch Bank; in the later period, there will be mysterious planes flying from Puton and Johannesburg to Zurich and Amsterdam almost every hour.It was said that on Freedom Day there would not be an ounce of gold or a carat of diamonds in the former South African Republic, and that all mining activities would be disrupted.A famous exile boasted from his luxury apartment in The Hague: "It will take the South Africans five years to get the Kimberley back to work." , then returned to the market with a new name and business model, and diamonds once again became the single most important economic factor in this emerging country.

While older conservatives are still fighting to defend it, a new generation of younger exiles has embraced a twenty-first-century culture of equality among all races.They look back with pride but not ostentation on the determination and courage of their ancestors, and distance themselves from their ignorant peers, the fact that no one in their own family speaks Afrikaans anymore. Like the Russian Revolution a century ago, many people dream of going back to the old days, or at least empowering those who usurped their power and privileges.Usually they will express their pain and frustration in the form of propaganda, marches and protests, boycotts and petitions to international parliaments, and occasionally in works of art. "Witex" is recognized as a great book. British literature, even by those who disagree with the author.

But there are also some groups who believe that politics is useless and that only violence can solve the problem.While there aren't many who think they can really rewrite history, there are plenty who think revenge is fine if victory is impossible. Between the extremes of complete assimilation and non-conformity there are political and non-political parties.Among them, although the Environmental Alliance is not the largest, it is the most powerful and richest party, because it controls most of the wealth lost in South Africa through various corporate networks and holding companies, most of which have been legalized, and In substance is highly respected.

The alliance has 500 million funds invested in Zong's Shipping Company, which is listed in detail in the annual balance report.In 2059, Sir Lawrence happily accepted a further $500 million, enabling him to accelerate commissioning of the smaller fleet. Even if he is extremely intelligent, he cannot know the relationship between the Alliance and Zong's Shipping Company in the recently approved Yinhe mission.In any case, Halley was approaching Mars at this time, and Sir Lawrence had been busy making sure that the Cosmos was able to take off on time, so that he could not take into account the operational routes of other sister ships.

Although Lloyd of London had raised many doubts about the flight route of the Yinhe, these objections were quickly suppressed.The alliance has some connections in key positions, which is unfortunate for insurance brokers but very fortunate for space lawyers.
