The terrain of Africa is relatively simple and can be roughly divided into three major blocks, the tropical rainforest on both sides of the equator, the savannah on both sides of the tropical rainforest, and the arid desert on both sides of the savannah.

These three terrains are not suitable for the use of troops. Needless to say, the arid desert, the wind and sand put forward strict requirements for the use of tanks and armored vehicles, and the lack of water sources will bring great difficulties to logistical supplies.

The savannah is divided into dry and wet seasons. The dry season is like a desert, and the wet season is like a country. No matter whether it is dry or wet, it is not conducive to marching.

Not to mention the tropical rainforest, which is simply a military deathbed. The first group of European colonists described the African tropical rainforest in this way-"green desert". It is a forbidden area for human beings.

In the tropical rainforest, there are countless mosquitoes - Anopheles, Aedes, blackfly, Cuicui fly, etc., which can spread malaria, sleeping sickness, river blindness, yellow fever and other tropical diseases.

How severe these diseases are, one outbreak is enough to destroy a village. Once a European colonist wrote with lingering fear: "We once went to a village where sleeping sickness was rampant. , the village is filled with a thick stench of corpses, and there is no sound..."

It is precisely because tropical infectious diseases are so severe that there has never been a unified regime like the Chinese Han, Tang, and Ming dynasties in the tropical rain forests of the African continent. The regimes here are all simple tribes.

The terrain of Africa is even more unfavorable to Lin Yuanjin's army, that is, the lack of good ports on the coast of Africa. Throughout the history of Africa, Africans have never had a sailing tradition, and they even rarely use inland watercraft. The reason is, and Africa has a flat coastline and lack of ports and islands.

Since the African coast lacks ports, Lin Yuan can only choose those ports that Europeans have operated for a long time to enter. Lin Yuan does not want to confront the European colonists head-on just after entering Africa.

Lin Yuan looked at the map and thought about the solution. Thinking of dawn, he finally formulated a strategy to enter Africa. Before entering the African continent, he first occupied Madagascar. This island is located in the southeast of Africa and is the fourth largest island in the world. More than 60 square kilometers, the nearest point is less than [-] kilometers away from the African continent.

Madagascar was famous for being rich in various rare animals in Lin Yuan's era. The most famous one is lemurs. Lemurs are endemic species of Madagascar. It is to Madagascar what koalas are to Australia and giant pandas For China.

Like koalas, lemurs are cute little animals. Unlike koalas, which are "dumb and cute", lemurs are more "smart and cute". This kind of cute creature has big eyes like aliens , full of beautiful patterned fur, running and jumping among the trees, very lively, in stark contrast to the koala, which sleeps 22 hours a day.

Madagascar in this era is nominally a colony of the French, but the French do not have much influence on the island. They don't even bother to send a governor of Madagascar, because the island really has nothing to fish for. Sending a bunch of lemurs to the zoo?

Lin Yuan then decided to acquire the sovereignty of Madagascar through purchase, and then operate and build on the island. When the preparations are almost complete, he will enter the African continent.

Once you enter the African continent, you will use the towns as the core and go deep into the hinterland of Africa step by step. During this period, you will definitely encounter the British, Americans, and tribal forces instigated by the British and Americans, but these people are not to be feared. , especially those tribes. Africa in this era is still quite backward, far more backward than India and Southeast Asia. Lin Yuan's powered exoskeleton and self-propelled robots are completely "artifacts" in the eyes of these African tribes, and it should not be a problem to subdue them .

Lin Yuan thought clearly about the strategy of marching, and was exhausted, so he went back to the bedroom to sleep. After an unknown amount of time, Shen Wanqing's voice rang in Lin Yuan's ear: "Wake up, Guan'er is here to find you."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes in a daze, and asked, "What does Guan'er want from me?"

Shen Wanqing smiled helplessly: "How do I know what she wants from you? She is very secretive, and she still won't tell me when I ask her."

Lin Yuan yawned, got up from the bed, changed his clothes, and went to the living room to meet Guan'er. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Guan'er sitting at the table "eating and drinking", with plates full of dishes in front of her. Many of the dishes and bowls were already empty, Lin Yuan asked with a smile, "Did you come to see me just to have breakfast with me?"

Guan'er sneered, "Sister Wanqing's cooking is delicious." Shen Wanqing helplessly said to Lin Yuan, "I made those things for you. She insists on eating them. I won't give them to you." She committed suicide."

Lin Yuan wiped the sweat off his forehead, sat opposite Guan'er, and said, "Tell me, what can you do with me?"

Guan'er suddenly showed a pitiful expression, and said softly: "Brother, Guan'er has been with you for six years, does it mean I haven't asked for anything?"

Lin Yuan felt a pain in his heart, Guan'er did not ask for anything, Lin Yuan felt a little more guilty towards her, nodded slightly, Guan'er went on to say: "Then I want my brother to do me a favor, brother probably won't refuse?"

Lin Yuan couldn't bear to refuse, so he said, "Just tell me, I won't refuse."

Guan'er instantly beamed with joy, and said, "Please help me beg Professor Song to accept me into the animal expedition team, okay?"

"What animal expedition?" Lin Yuan asked suspiciously.

"Brother, why did you forget that when we were in Australia, Professor Song and I were catching koalas together. Later, because I didn't adapt to the life of the expedition team, I was kicked out by the expedition team." Guan'er said shyly.

Shen Wanqing smiled and said: "What do you mean by not adapting to the life of the expedition team? You were obviously kicked out by the expedition team because you were lazy and stupid."

Guan'er's pretty face was flushed, her sweet tongue was lightly sticking out, she made a grimace, and said timidly: "Okay, okay, even if I'm lazy and stupid, I will correct myself, good brother, please help me Let me plead with Professor Song."

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Everyone kicked you out, why do you want to go back so shamelessly?"

"Don't use such ugly words as 'skinless face' to call other girls." Guan'er coquettishly said, "I heard that Professor Song is going to visit Madagascar recently, and I want to catch lemurs, lemurs are so cute..."

Last time he wanted to catch koalas, and this time he wanted to catch lemurs again. Lin Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, but he had doubts in his heart, and asked, "Where did you hear about lemurs?"
