African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 1223 "Recuperation"

Not only the colonial government of Sudan, but also the British colonial government of Somaliland and the colonial government of South Africa are the same. These three colonies are all under the nose of East Africa.

The British people's vigilance towards East Africa is obviously not unnecessary. After all, the fact that East Africa has invaded Darfur is already before their eyes.

Soon, Farsen, commander of the 7th East African Infantry Regiment, came in a military vehicle to "welcome" the British colonial army.

"What's your name, sir? I'm Farsen, the commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment of a brigade in the Northwest Military Region of East Africa." Farsen jumped off the military vehicle and came to Johnson and asked.

"I am Johnson, deputy commander of the British Corps in Khartoum. Are you the highest official there?" Johnson asked.

"Of course, the Darfur region is now controlled by our group. If you have any questions, you can tell me directly." Looking at the arrogant Johnson, Farsen said directly and neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Johnson asked, "Very well, Captain Farson, I want to ask you, why did you invade Darfur? This is the territory of our British Empire. Aren't you afraid of causing disputes between the two countries?"

Farsen: "Haha, Mr. Johnson, don't be angry first. What invasion or no invasion? And I know that Darfur is not British territory. After all, the Darfur Sultan has clearly stated that he will withdraw from Sudan and has disputes with you."

Johnson: "Humph, that's Ali Dinar who is ignorant of the times, and no matter what he does, it can't change the agreement Darfur has signed with us, the UK. It's written in black and white, so Darfur is part of the British Sudan region, which is indisputable."

It is really hard to refute what Johnson said, after all, the UK must have signed an agreement with the Ali Dinar.

But Farsen was no ordinary person. He said, "Mr. Johnson, please don't deceive me. I also understand the content of your agreement, which is that Darfur will join Sudan in the name of an autonomous region."

“However, since it is an autonomous region, the Darfurians naturally have the right to withdraw from Sudan. Now Ali Dinar and the Darfurians he leads have obviously changed their minds, so they decided to withdraw.”

“So theoretically speaking, now that Darfur has withdrawn from Sudan, it naturally cannot be counted as your country’s sphere of influence. Moreover, Ali Dinar has already planned to add the Darfur region to our East African patronage and make it an East African protectorate.”

"That means Darfur has now become our East African protectorate. I would like to ask, why did you choose to serve as a soldier in our East African sphere of influence?"

Farsen directly turned the tables, deliberately ignoring the agreement Darfur had reached with Britain through a series of unreasonable arguments, and finally turned the tables.

Not to mention, Johnson actually believed Farsen's statement. At this time, Johnson believed that Ali Dinar had really defected to East Africa.

This is consistent with his previous speculation. After all, Johnson did not think that East Africa would invade Darfur and conflict with the Ali Dinar.

After all, with the external threat of Britain, it is entirely possible for the Ali Dinar to cling to East Africa.

This can also explain why when Johnson later arrived in El Fasher from the east, the guerrillas who had been resisting fiercely suddenly disappeared.

Of course, Johnson did not expect that these guerrillas retreated because after East Africa controlled Ali Dinar and others, they returned to El Fasher because they could not receive orders, but were eventually captured by the 7th East African Infantry Regiment.

"Call Ali Dinar over here. I need to confront him to confirm whether what you said is true," Johnson said.

At this time, Johnson still wanted to find Ali Dinar, the culprit, first, and then talk about other things.

Obviously, Farsen could not agree to Johnson's request. After all, if the Ali Dinar really arrived here, Farsen's lie would be exposed.

So Farsen said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson, Sultan Ali Dinar has gone to East Africa for recuperation because of illness, so he can't be here to talk to you."

As soon as this was said, Johnson got angry and said, "Don't bring up this kind of bullshit to fool me, Captain Farsen, are you in East Africa really planning to be the enemy of the Empire?" This bullshit about going to East Africa for recuperation was obviously a lie. In Johnson's opinion, this was Farsen's excuse to fool him.

Judging from what Ali Dinar had done before, it was impossible for him to be sick. If Ali Dinar was so weak, how could he fight against Britain?

Farsen was not afraid of the British threat. He said calmly: "Mr. Johnson, I am telling the truth. As for the relationship between the two countries, it is not for you and me to decide. There will naturally be responsible communication and exchanges between Rhine and London."

“Our country only reluctantly helped the Sultan Ali Dinar to stabilize the Darfur region in accordance with his request.”

It is extremely ironic that the Ali dinar, which has been imprisoned, is represented by Farsen.

"Very good, it seems that Captain Farsen, you are very confident!" Johnson waved his hand.

"Swish..." The British colonial army raised a large number of guns and pointed them at Farsen.

Farsen said calmly, "Alala...Mr. Johnson, look at you, you are so impatient that you want to accidentally shoot a gun when you disagree with someone. This is very dangerous."

He turned to Johnson and continued, "We in East Africa are not afraid of any threats. If you don't believe me, look over there!"

Fasten pointed to several rooftops and said to Johnson: "Here, and here..."

Johnson looked in the direction Farsen pointed and saw six or seven machine guns mounted on several rooftops in Fasher, pointing directly at the British army.

Farsen said, "Our regiment's machine gun company is equipped with more than a dozen machine guns and more than a dozen artillery pieces. We have more people than you, so I still hope you can calm down."

"I am the commander of a regiment in East Africa. Although we have a battalion in charge of other areas in Darfur, there are nearly 2,000 soldiers in El Fasher. So Mr. Johnson, you'd better not get angry. It would be bad if the brothers opened fire and injured you because of me."

After hearing what Fasher said, Johnson was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. With this amount of troops and firepower, why don't you just go to Khartoum? Going to Darfur is really a waste of talent.

Although Sudan is a buffer zone between East Africa and Britain, there are really not many British troops in Sudan. The British garrison was mainly in Egypt in the previous life.

After all, Egypt and Sudan were one at this time, and the most important reason why Britain controlled Sudan was to use it as a barrier to protect Egypt.

Moreover, Sudan's climate and output cannot support too many troops, such as the one Johnson is leading now.

Although there are a lot of people, most of them were temporarily transferred from Egypt. If it weren't for the sudden rebellion in Darfur, Sudan's garrison would definitely be greatly reduced.

As a buffer zone, the real value of Sudan is not as high as imagined. This is similar to Mongolia in the previous life. No matter whether Russia or the Far East Empire attacks, Mongolia has no ability to resist. Its existence can only give the two countries some sense of security.

So Sudan also played this role. Britain did not expect Sudan to be able to truly resist the invasion of East Africa. Given the strength of East Africa, a small force could easily defeat all the troops stationed in Sudan.

In Johnson's eyes, the so-called Seventh Infantry Regiment in front of him has such strength. If their forces are concentrated, there will be about 3,000 soldiers, which can almost compete with the main force of Khartoum. As for the outcome, it is unknown.

But the problem is that if East Africa really attacks Khartoum, it will obviously not send only such a force. According to Johnson's understanding, there is a regiment of East African troops stationed in the city of Gezira alone. Together with the 7th Infantry Regiment, the two regiments are enough to eliminate all British military presence in Sudan.
