Chapter 1220 Rhine People
At this time, Ali Dinar in the city felt aggrieved! It is impossible for anyone to agree to the unreasonable demands of the East Africans. They took great courage and worked hard to fight the British. As a result, the East Africans picked peaches behind their backs and asked themselves to surrender. Where is God? Is God unfair?
While Farsheng was waiting for the Darfurians to reply, the Darfurian senior officials in the entire city of Fasher were also discussing countermeasures. Obviously, in the end, the Darfurians still wanted to have a chance with the East Africans.
"Boom...bang..."
"Boom, bang..."
Mortars and grenades from East Africa kept heading towards Fasher City, and soon the simple city wall of Fasher was completely destroyed, and some neighborhoods were completely reduced to ruins.
The grenade launcher is still used by some units of the East African Army, especially as a team fire support force. Of course, the main reason why it has not been completely eliminated by the East African Army is because there is no pressure.
In the past, East Africa produced grenades in large quantities because of its poor military industrial capabilities and lack of effective development of resources. Even if East Africa was rich in products, it could only be ignored.
Therefore, combat weapons such as grenades were used by Ernst to bully the indigenous people on the African continent.
The deterrent significance of the early grenade was far greater than its actual combat significance. After all, the grenade was considered a "cannon" and could greatly shock the natives. Even with a few rounds of a grenade, any native with a strong will to resist would not be able to withstand it. .
Of course, the easy portability and disassembly of the grenade also attracted the attention of early East African soldiers. After all, East Africa did not have the transportation infrastructure as it does now.
Although the military industry and economy in East Africa are not bad now, the army is still struggling and spending money, especially after investing a lot of money in armored forces, aviation forces, etc.
This has led to an extreme imbalance in the military construction of East Africa. Some troops and equipment are still at the time of the South African War, while some are at the forefront of the world.
Even so, compared to the United States, the development of the East African Army is relatively happy. Canada and Mexico next to the United States are not small countries, and there are no decent opponents around East Africa.
"retreat!"
"Damn, the firepower of the East Africans is too strong. This is not something we can deal with at all. The British don't have such strong firepower either."
"How can we fight this battle? Run away quickly!"
"Can someone help me? My legs are trapped."
The entire western part of Fasher City has been completely turned into a mess. No matter the soldiers or civilians, under the round of artillery fire from East Africa, they can't think of resisting. They wish they could grow eight legs and escape from this terrifying place.
The building quality of Lord Fasher is too poor, which greatly increases the artillery power of East Africa, which looks quite bluffing.
Commander Falsheng held a telescope in his hand and observed the changes in Fasher City. After confirming that the enemy's morale was in disarray, he decisively ordered the troops to attack.
The East African officers and soldiers holding Mauser rifles successfully advanced into the city through the gap in Fasher City. They encountered no resistance and successfully advanced to the center of Fasher City.
At this time, Ali Dinar suddenly realized that he was ready to run away with his own people, but it was too late.
"Hand over your guns and don't kill!" East African soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded Ali Dinar and his party.
Although the language that the East African soldiers temporarily learned from the translator was a bit weird, Ali Dinar and others chose to decisively put down their weapons.
The East Africans went too far. With this firepower, Ali Dinar dared to attack Khartoum. As a result, the East Africans did not take advantage of Britain's deep European war situation and attack the banks of the Nile River. Instead, they came to attack a little guy like themselves. This made Ali Dinar I feel very aggrieved inside.
Although he lost the war, Ali Dinar was still very unconvinced and wanted to understand the intentions of the East African government.
"Be honest and wait until our regiment leader arrives." said the East African soldier who was tying a rope to Ali Dinar. Although I don’t know what this high-ranking Darfurian official who speaks in bird language is talking about, there is nothing wrong with being more vigilant.
Soon, Commander Falsheng came to Ali Dinar with a group of officers and translators.
"Are you Sultan Ali Dinar?"
"It's me, you East Africans, why do you want to invade our Darfur? We haven't offended you, have we?"
"I won't tell you this question. After all, this is our empire's strategy, and we are just small people responsible for its execution."
"Hmph, so what if you really catch me? You should also know that we in Darfur have offended the British, and we are nominally a subsidiary force of the British. When the British come, you will also It’s impossible to occupy this place.”
In Ali Dinar's view, as the world's most powerful country, Britain should be more fearful in East Africa.
Clinker's words caused Captain Falsheng to laugh and asked: "Hahaha... Mr. Alidinar, since the British are so powerful in your eyes, how can you dare to offend the British?" people."
Aridinar said: "Of course I know that the British are powerful, but isn't the UK now at war with Germany...the Germans of Europe? So naturally we must seize the opportunity to escape from British control."
As a radiation area of Arab religion, the people of Darfur are not as ignorant as black Africans. They still have some understanding of international news, but because of the distance, the news is relatively slow to reach Darfur.
This can be seen from Ali Dinar's words. He not only knew about the outbreak of World War I in Europe and the war between Britain and Germany, but also could clearly distinguish the difference between Germany and East Africa.
I have to say something more here. In the early days of colonization of Africa, East Africa always regarded itself as German. At that time, the East African country had not yet formed, so the word "German" was widely circulated on the African continent.
After the establishment of the East African Kingdom, the East Africans could expand everywhere under the name of the East African Kingdom. However, by this time, the term "Germany" had already penetrated into the hearts of the indigenous Africans.
What's more, the Kingdom of East Africa was just a transitional country, and later East Africa became the Rhine Empire. Therefore, the changes in national propaganda could easily confuse the uninformed African natives. It is most appropriate to use German to call this power in East Africa.
But in fact, Germany is the real Germany. This is repeated at this time, but it is difficult for African natives to come into contact with both German or East African forces at the same time.
There are currently two types of names for East Africa abroad, one is East African and the other is Rhine.
There is no doubt that the former is called according to historical inertia and continues the name of the early East African colonies or East African kingdoms, while the latter is called after the name of the current East African country.
Rhenish, just as the Far Eastern Empire called American citizens Americans, or Americans.
After all, the United States is generally regarded as an Anglo-Saxon country with the same origin as the United Kingdom, although the United States has a large number of immigrants from other countries and regions.
Americans are easy to distinguish between the two, as are Canadians and Australians.
Or maybe people in Germany also have this name, such as Prussians, Bavarians, and Swabians. These people are actually Germans.
So in this way, more and more countries and regions in the international community now choose to refer to the Germans of the Rhine Empire as Rhenish people.
Of course, the term East African has not disappeared from the stage of history, at least that is how the Germans like to call East Africans.
On the one hand, many people in Germany do not think that East Africa and they belong to the same nation, or that the blood of East Africa is not pure. On the other hand, this is actually a contemptuous term.
After all, Africa used to be synonymous with backwardness and barbarism in Europe. The neutral term East Africa will naturally be implicated. At least among some Germans, the term East Africa is not a good term. This also reflects the way many Germans view East Africa. arrogant attitude.
