Chapter 213 Southwest Raiders
The United States has developed the West, and the East African version should be called the Southwest Development. The Western Movement in the United States is a large-scale enclosure from the east coast to the inland areas.
What is going on in East Africa is a large-scale advance to the southwest. Unlike the Indians who are already weak, there are still many indigenous tribes in the southwest.
In the "pocket" area that Felix entered, it is estimated that the indigenous population can reach about 3 million. Now East Africa needs more than 3 million people to contribute to the construction of East Africa.
Of course, according to the consistent policy in East Africa, indigenous children and women are not needed, only young labor is needed.
After such a screening, there are only about one million "laborers" left in the end, and the current "laborers" in East Africa are more than two million.
It’s okay to use “labor”, but there must be standards for “labor”. Aboriginal children are not productive and waste rations, so don’t do it. Women are capable of working, but in order to strictly prevent the ethnic policy in East Africa, none of them can stay.
East African citizens are divided into three categories, pure white, pure yellow and mixed race. The mixed race is naturally yellow and white. Although the gender ratio in East Africa has been improving, it is still more male than female.
If black indigenous women are allowed to exist, some bachelors can’t keep their pants, how can we solve the problem by turning black boys?
Regarding the gender imbalance in East Africa, Ernst has always emphasized that you can wait and there will always be opportunities, but if you have a relationship with a black person, you will be exiled.
It’s hard to say where they can be exiled. Generally speaking, it’s the Alaska colony. There are currently more than 300 people who enjoy this treatment.
The East African government repeatedly emphasized these cases to the East African residents, don’t take it seriously, if you really arrive in Alaska, it will be called every day and the land will not work.
And being exiled to Alaska, don't even think about bringing the little black boy and black women to Alaska. As for how they deal with it...
Alaska currently has a population of more than 20,000, among which there are more than 1,000 criminals after excluding normal immigrants and “criminals” who marry with natives.
Generally, it is not a heinous crime, and they cannot enjoy this treatment. The law has always existed in East Africa, and supervision has been strengthened, but there are always some people who are stubborn among the more than two million people.
The due west of East Africa has expanded to the east of the upper reaches of the Congo River, and further west is the vast tropical rainforest.
According to the capabilities of East Africa, it is possible to continue westward, because the Belgians colonized the entire Congo Basin along the Congo River upstream, and if East Africa continues westward, it is more convenient to go downstream.
However, it is too difficult to develop the rainforest area, and Ernst also wants to see whether Leopold of Belgium will still focus on the Congo as in his previous life after occupying the essence of the Congo (plateau and mountains) in East Africa.
The Congo left to Leopold is only the large tropical rainforest in the lower reaches of the Congo Basin. There is a lack of minerals and the land is not easy to develop, so there are only abundant timber left, and the tropical rainforest population is not large, so If Leopold wants to get back his capital, he can only play a more extreme squeeze strategy.
The direction from the Congo Basin to the east and south is blocked by East Africa, and to the west are the Portuguese and the French. There is only some way out in the northern plateau, that is, the direction of Central Africa and Chad.
The forces there are now mixed. In addition to the original indigenous tribes, several kingdoms driven from the Great Lakes region by East Africa, and some tribes from the north have poured in there.
The precipitation in central and southern Africa is bounded by the Katanga Plateau of Zambia and Congo, and gradually decreases towards the south. Its climate and terrain are basically the same as those in East Africa, which is why East Africa is the focus of expansion to the southwest.
(picture)
So after the annexation of Zambia, East Africa is still a plateau country. In the future, as long as a railway is built, the two places can be connected together.
Expansion to the south will definitely deal with the Portuguese. The southern grasslands of Zambia are an important source of Portuguese ivory trade.
There has always been an ivory trade route across the east and west coasts of southern Africa, and the Kazenbe Kingdom is an important node of this trade route.
The two ends happen to be the Portuguese colonies of Angola and Mozambique. Even if East Africa swallows the middle area, it will not border Angola. Mozambique is really capable of intervening in East Africa.
But now, East Africa has become more courageous, especially the commander-in-chief of the army, Felix, is a hawk in East Africa, and Prince Constantine is also from the army. Both of them have been in the Prussian army.
The style of the Prussian army is known throughout Europe, so the current state of the government in East Africa can be imagined, that is expansion, expansion and expansion.
If it weren't for the mediation of Ernst and Witt, it is estimated that Prince Constantine would be able to strip away the indigenous forces around Mozambique.
…
"The 1st East African Cavalry Battalion is assembled!"
"Very well, the Kingdom of Kazenbe has declined our kindness in East Africa, so shall we give them a shock of cavalry?"
"Listen to my order, go straight to the center of the Kazenbe Kingdom, and capture the high-level officials of the kingdom alive. Don't be afraid that the hostages will lack arms and legs. As long as the people are in our hands, we will be afraid that they will not submit!"
The so-called good intentions of the East African government are not without reason. After the Yeke Kingdom was sold to the East African government by Msiri, some affiliated forces took advantage of the trend and took refuge in neighboring countries.
Some chiefs of the Kazenbe Kingdom also participated in this scoring feast. Now the East African government directly asks them to spit out the benefits they swallowed. Naturally, the Kazenbe Kingdom, which has not suffered severe beatings in East Africa, is unwilling.
If it was the Kingdom of Malawi, which has been dealing with the East African government and the Mozambique colony all year round, I am afraid that it has already found a scapegoat and made an apology.
…
"Hehe, everyone has listened to my suggestion, is it better to live now than in Yeke Kingdom? That kid Afonso is willing to be a dog for the Germans, but he doesn't know that the German wolf's ambition will one day reap the fruits of himself, unlike Kazen Kingdom of Bei, this is the world of our Portuguese, and there is no market for doing business in Africa. There are not even many living people in the Kingdom of Yeke. Even if Afonso wants to monopolize the market of the Kingdom of Yeke, he cannot find suppliers. .” Santos said to his younger brothers with a proud face.
After returning to Kazenbe, Santos quickly got in touch with his previous partners. The Portuguese were short of manpower in Africa, so they quickly agreed to join Santos and others, and Santos had accumulated a lot in Yeke Kingdom The family has a lot of people now, and it is flourishing in the Kingdom of Kazenbe.
"Boss, don't worry. As the saying goes, the last laugh is the best. There will always be a day when Afonso will cry."
Whether Afonso is crying or not, I don’t know, but Santos and others will soon lose their laughter.
