African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 36 Marina District

"Attention everyone, the five-kilometer off-road with loads begins!"

The new army of East African colonies formed by Chinese immigrants marched with heavy loads in the rain.

In East Africa in April, it was rainy, but the recruits in the colony still had to receive training. As time went by, today's East African colony has begun to lay out the entire inland.

After the departure of the advance group, the development of this place close to Dar es Salaam will naturally not stagnate. This is the first place where immigrants come. The first town is as its name suggests. Every Chinese immigrant who comes to East Africa They all have to stay here, and after being redistributed, they are sent to each new stronghold.

Recently, the East African colonies have begun to plan new villages and towns. The main thing is that the first town develops to the north. The plains there are relatively broad, which is the essence of the coastal plains of Tanzania.

Dar es Salaam belongs to the Sultanate of Zanzibar. With this as the core, it spreads across the entire coast of East Africa from north to south. However, the plain part of the coast westwards and close to the inland has no population. The main body of the Sultanate of Zanzibar is still in Zanzi Bar Island, and the opposite Dar es Salaam, other areas are not very populated.

This gave the East African colony an opportunity. In order to expand the land as much as possible, this time the East African colony did not plan to set up a stronghold around the first town, but established three new towns in Musolowa, Pongwe, and Manda, which are a little farther away. town.

In this way, starting from the first town (Mlandizi), passing through Musolowa, Pongwe, Mandaga and the second town (Lufu), a huge circle is formed, including the third town (Kitong Plus) The entire area of ​​almost 3500 square kilometers of land was included in the bag. In such a large area, the East African colony decided to set up the East African colony coastal area.

Binhai District temporarily governs six towns, and the first town is the first town, which is the first large-scale subdivision in the colony.

Land cannot appear out of thin air, so it becomes important to drive out the aborigines on this land. Now, after nearly a year of development, the number of Chinese immigrants in this area has reached more than 8000. They are concentrated in three buildings Finished around town.

Therefore, the East African colony decided to pull out an army of 2000 people to carry out a dragnet sweep of the indigenous tribes in the coastal area.

Weapons have been prepared in the warehouse for a long time, and now they can be issued to soldiers after a short training, and then set out to suppress the indigenous tribes.

April is the rainy season, so the training of colonial soldiers often encountered heavy rain, but the German instructors didn't care about March 21 and [-], and everyone had to complete the training on time every day.

The recruits climbed forward painfully in the mud, and gunshots came from time to time in their ears, exercising their courage.

The natives that recruits have to face are not difficult opponents. They are mainly small tribes in the mountains and forests. The larger tribes are all in the west. Some of them have hard heads. country.

It is okay for the Sultanate of Zanzibar to bully and bully the natives, but the East African colonies with live ammunition in their hands are not easy to mess with, so the two sides have lived in peace so far.

The sale of stolen goods in the East African colonies generally passes through the Sultanate of Zanzibar. Now the Sultanate of Zanzibar has begun to lie flat, sitting at home and waiting for the East African colonies to deliver slaves and ivory to their doorsteps.

The Sultanate of Zanzibar is responsible for selling these goods overseas through Arab merchants, so the early colonization of East Africa promoted the abnormal prosperity of the Sultanate of Zanzibar.

……

a few days later.

Manda, the northernmost part of the Marina District.

"Hurry up, even if you can't catch them, you can't let them run back, shoot!"

bang... bang... bang...

The panic-stricken natives had no choice but to flee to the north with all their might. It must be said that these natives ran really fast and disappeared in a short while.

"Okay, let's chase here! The north is not our goal yet. Everyone take a break for a while."

"Captain, why are those black things running so fast, they disappeared in a flash!"

"That's because these aborigines live by hunting, and they have to chase all kinds of animals every day, or be chased by animals. How fast do you think the lions, cheetahs and wildebeests run? If these aboriginals can't catch up, or If you can’t escape, then you will starve to death or be eaten! We are different. In the Far East, we mainly farmed the land for generations, and put all our energy into the field, so running away is not as good as those who compete with wild animals every day. Fast natives."

……

The German commander, Rorschach, is studying the map. Alman is currently in charge of the military affairs of the entire East African colony, and Rorschach is in charge of the military affairs of the coastal area. Therefore, he can be regarded as the second in command in the colonial military force.

This time, Rorschach led the task of driving out the indigenous tribes in the coastal area. These recruits were led by German veterans with rich war experience, and some students from the Hechingen Military Academy were mixed together to act as translators.

This Binhai District operation was the first large-scale coordinated operation, and a total of 320 people were dispatched.

The completion of the operation means that the plan to use the Chinese for large-scale military purposes is feasible. Among them, the Hechingen Military Academy has played an important role in connecting.

But this aroused Ernst's vigilance. Although the students of the Hechingen Military Academy have been brainwashed and have a very high loyalty to the Hohenzollern family, they still have to be careful of their grouping and differentiation from other Germans.

After all, the students of these Hechingen Military Academy can communicate directly with the soldiers of the colonial army, and the German commanders must rely on the students of the Hechingen Military Academy as translators.

From this we can see how much influence the students of the Hechingen Military Academy had on the soldiers at the bottom of the colony.

For Ernst, any uncontrollable cause must be destroyed in the bud. After thinking for a long time, Ernst thought of a good way.

The Hechingen Military Academy should not only have Chinese students, but also white students. Ernst planned to find some orphans in Europe, especially in Germany, to let him learn German and Chinese, and finally develop together with Chinese students in the colonial army.

In this way, the two can supervise and restrict each other, and studying in the same school can also allow them to communicate and integrate.

In the future, the colonial army will have white people who can understand the language of Chinese immigrants. They can understand the real thoughts of immigrants and report to Ernst at all times.

This is a tactic to delay the attack. The real thing to do is to start German education in the colonies. Since the entire colony speaks German, Ernst can relax a little.

Fortunately, the size of the colony is small now, so Ernst doesn't have to worry about someone trying to make trouble. The colony relies heavily on the Hechingen Consortium, which is why Ernst can remotely command the East African colony.

At the same time, he continued to send his confidantes to the East African colonies to hold important positions and divide the high-level colonies. These measures that are conducive to his centralization have not been put down.
