African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 134 The end of the first stage combat mission
The follow-up East African army's struggle against the Kingdom of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igara was lackluster, and there was basically no resistance. Even before the arrival of the East African army, the indigenous people in some areas had already run away.

However, Rwanda and Igara have learned from the lessons learned by the princes and aristocrats of the Burundi kings. They chose not to fight to the death with the East African colonies, but to relocate and start a new business.

Look at the current nobles of Burundi and Calawi, they are really like bereaved dogs. All the way to Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igara, most of the servants around them ran away, and they took away a lot of property.

With the current state of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala, the top leaders of the two countries really do not have the confidence to resist the attack of the East African colonies, and the East African colonies may not accept surrender, so it is better to move elsewhere as soon as possible.

Now that we voluntarily give up this land, we can still preserve our strength, preserve the elite forces of the two countries, go to Central and West Africa, and let the natives there see what the iron fist of civilization is.

Just as the countries in the Northwest faced the hot weapons of the East African colonies and there was a generational difference in civilization, the countries in the Northwest also had advantages in civilization when facing those indigenous tribes.

Ironware manufacturing ability and organizational ability are not comparable to those of nomadic tribes, and the countries in the Northwest are not the kind of countries that have completely entered the agricultural civilization, and their martial arts are relatively abundant, and they are not timid when facing players of the same rank.

In addition, the countries in the Northwest are not as brave and foolish as the Eastern Bantu people. Back then, if the Eastern Bantu people flirted with the local aristocratic group, it would not be a fight to the death.

The nobles of the Northwest countries don't mind letting the many chiefs of the Eastern Bantu people be under them and above the untouchables.

But the Eastern Bantu people, some large tribes, are arrogant and domineering, without any regard for the feelings of the local nobles, killing, burning and looting.

It's okay, the local nobles can keep their eyes open and close their eyes. As a result, these Eastern Bantu people don't know what is good and evil, and they commit some massacres, attack the local nobles, and rob the nobles' wealth.

This is the fate of the nobles of the Northwest countries, and the noble forces in the Northwest united to suppress the Eastern Bantus.

Facing the invasion of the East African colonies this time, the Kingdom of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igara do not plan to fight with their backs again. They really can't afford it.

Anyway, what the East African colonies want is land, and they don't really want their own lives, wealth, and slaves.There is a lot of land in Africa, the big deal is to give it to the Germans, and find another place for yourself. Except for the Sahara Desert, there is no place to continue living.

Therefore, the high-level leaders of the two countries sent envoys to the East African colonies, asking the East African troops not to worry, we will go by ourselves, and the East African colonial governments are also happy to do so.

As a result, there was a harmonious scene between the two countries. The nobles of Rwanda and Igara Kingdom collected their belongings (including slaves) and followed the kingdom through the north to start a business in Central and West Africa, while the East African army took it easy. Accept the land of both countries in the back.

Rwanda and the Kingdom of Yigara decided to stick together to keep warm, and went to Central and West Africa to lay a piece of land together, and attacked the indigenous tribes living there, and defeated them one by one.

This is not because the two countries know the art of war, but because the indigenous peoples of Central Africa are in a state of scattered tribes, and it is impossible to unite together.

As long as the two countries take one step at a time, they can establish new countries in Central and West Africa.

……

1868 6 Month 27 Day.

The East African army followed and advanced to Ruhengeri, the largest city in the north of the Kingdom of Rwanda, and the fighting in Rwanda basically ended.

6 month 30 day.

The entire territory of the Kingdom of Yigala fell, and the East African colony broke into the border of the Kingdom of Enkole and the Kingdom of Buganda in the middle.

7 month 1 day.

The combat tasks of the first stage were basically completed, and the four southern countries completely fell into the hands of the East African colonies.

The land area newly included in East Africa this time is about 8.3 square kilometers (excluding water area).

In the short time since the war broke out, the East African colonial government moved 8 new immigrants to the region, making it one of the most densely populated areas in the East African colonies, surpassing many large regions in the Midwest in an instant.

Of course, the current infrastructure conditions in this newly occupied area are not very good, but they are far better than those in the Omo River Basin. After all, it has been developed by the indigenous kingdom for many years, and some fields and roads can still be borrowed, and a little modification can be done later. .

At the same time, a large number of South Germans were resettled here. In addition, the orphans and orphans in Paraguay not only adjusted the ethnicity, but also adjusted the gender and age. At the same time, the young labor force is mainly young, so the population structure of this area is also relatively reasonable.

As long as the connection with the Sauron Lake area and the Great Lakes area is done in the follow-up to ensure smooth traffic and communication, the rule of the East African colony here will be completely stable.

Such a fast advancing speed naturally caused the aborigines to not be completely wiped out. The caring East African colony specially organized these aborigines who did not run away and gave them to Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igara who wanted to start a new business. The army sent these native gifts out of the country.

The fall of the four southern countries naturally had a huge impact on the four northern countries, especially the Kingdom of Nkol and the Kingdom of Buganda have strengthened their military presence on the border with East Africa.

The aborigines who had just started production were recalled to rejoin the army. The kingdom of Enkol was weak, while Buganda faced the pressure of two-line combat. The situation of both countries was not very good.

If the war in the second stage is to break out, compared with the first stage, it is not yet known how effective it will be. After all, the four northern countries faced the invasion of the Eastern Bantus last time and did not hurt the root, especially the Kingdom of Turou and the Kingdom of Jila. The Kingdom of Kohler and the Kingdom of Buganda acted as barriers, so there was no loss at all.

This is also the basis for the four northern countries to dare to confront the East African colonies. Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igara were almost ruined by the former Eastern Bantu people. The core interests of the four northern countries have not been damaged.

The strong will of the four northern countries to resist is the difficulty in the second phase of operations. The advantage of East Africa is that when the second phase of operations breaks out, this time there will be sufficient manpower on the border.

Moreover, the materials hoarded on the front line in the first stage will not make the East African army be as busy as when they first entered the northwest region.

In the first phase of combat missions, it was not the enemy that seriously hindered the advance speed of the East African army, but the long supply line.

At the same time, another advantage of the second stage is the two-line combat mentioned above. East Africa can attack from the south and east at the same time, and the population of the Kingdom of Buganda is mainly distributed along the shore of the Great Lake (Lake Victoria), which is convenient for the East African colonies. Transport troops and supplies by water, and directly attack Mungo, the capital of the Kingdom of Buganda.

Mungo is only more than 150 kilometers away from Kisumu. If you go by boat, you can go straight to Mungo, the brain of the Buganda Kingdom, in two or three days.
