Chapter 387: Turn Africa into the backyard of the Donghua Empire!

Mombasa, one of the oldest cities in Africa. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Arabs, Turks, Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, and British have all been masters of this seaside port city. Now, the Donghua people have become its new owners.

More than 400 years ago, the ocean-going fleet of the Ming Dynasty led by Zheng He brought oriental civilization and culture to Mombasa. However, with the rise of Europeans, the Chinese civilization inheritance gradually disappeared here.

Kenyans and other Africans living in Mombasa have long been accustomed to submissive colonial slavery for hundreds of years. They didn't have much reaction to who would rule Kenya.

However, the colonial policies pursued by the Donghua Empire in Mombasa clearly made the black people living in the city feel different.

These black-haired, black-eyed, yellow-skinned Donghua people seem to be much kinder, gentler and friendlier than those blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white-skinned white devils.

The free medical security policy, the perfect social welfare system, the humanized labor contract, the nine-year compulsory education system, the abolition of slavery, the trial and severe punishment of those criminal slave owners who have a lot of blood debts, etc., all these new policies have made the black people of Kenya clearly feel the warmth and care given to them by the new Governor's Office.

The rich work experience accumulated in the process of colonizing Oceania, East China Sea State, Central Sea State and West Sea State has gradually improved the civil service system and colonial policies of the various colonial governments of the East China Empire.

With the strong support of the Cabinet of the Donghua Empire and the various colonial governors' offices, the newly established Governor-General's Offices of Somalia, Kenya, and South Sudan have easily established a complete set of colonial systems and institutions adapted to local conditions.

The strong military support force made it possible for any resistance or resistance to the new governor's palace to be resolutely suppressed and purged.

The new media force of cable broadcasting, radio and cable television, in conjunction with the government's vigorous propaganda offensive, gradually converged and coalesced the hearts and minds of the most vulnerable groups of black African civilians to the colonial governor's palace of the East China Empire.

One day, three months after the establishment of the Governor-General's Office of Kenya in the Donghua Empire.

In the bustling port of Mombasa, a young Chinese man who looks to be in his early twenties and is dressed in ordinary clothes is leisurely sightseeing around with the flow of people.

War has always been the best cover for the victor to eliminate dissent and some unstable security risks.

With the intelligence support provided by the CIA and the Rock mercenaries, all the forces and organizations in Somalia, Kenya and southern Sudan that were unfriendly to East China were slaughtered by the "hasty withdrawal of Italian troops".

Blaming all the evils on the white people in Europe and making the Chinese the saviors of the African people is the general guiding principle of the African colonial strategy led by Cheng Gong himself.

A large number of Donghua enterprises have not only brought huge Asian dollar investment to Kenya, but also injected fresh blood into the advanced technology of modern light industry in East Africa.

Turning Africa into the largest export base of industrial raw materials for the Donghua Empire was a newly established national strategy established by Cheng Gong before the comprehensive upgrading of the national industrial system of the Donghua Empire.

Mombasa, the largest port in East Africa, has naturally become a key city for Donghua's investment and construction.

In the latest announcement of African aid projects made public by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Donghua, the Port of Mombasa will be expanded to become the leading international ****** among many ports in Africa.

According to the port construction plan, after the completion of the expansion project of Mombasa Port, the average draft of the port will reach 10 meters, 21 berths of various types of 10,000 tons or more, 24 hours a day, of which the 6, 7 and 8 berths are special berths for container loading, the wharf draft is 11 meters, and there are 4 40-ton container bridge cranes.

When dedicated berths are tight, the adjacent Bulk Cargo Berth No. 4 can also be used for loading and unloading containers.

At the forward yard of the container port area, a network of high-speed railways, highways and oil pipelines will be built directly connecting Nairobi, the city of Kenya's Governor-General's Palace, and Kesumu, Kenya's third-largest city.

After completion, the new Mombasa Port is expected to handle 150,000 TEU of containers per year, making it the port with the largest cargo volume in the whole of Africa.

Obviously, the Donghua Empire wanted to build the port of Mombasa into the largest and strongest bridgehead in Donghua's colonization of Africa.

With such a big spend, Emperor Cheng, as the chief architect of Donghua's African colonial strategy, of course, had to come over to take a good look at the most beautiful city in East Africa.

No, Cheng Gong claimed to be in a "retreat" in the royal laboratory of the Imperial Palace, but in fact he only brought two attendants to escort him, and even Zhao Yajing, the queen, concealed it, disguised himself as an ordinary Chinese student, avoided everyone's eyes, crossed the ocean, and came to Mombasa unknowingly.

In Cheng Gong's strategic plan, he wanted to turn Africa into the backyard of the Donghua Empire, and the premise was, of course, to let the Donghua Empire win the hearts and minds of the people in Africa as much as possible.

Africa currently has a total population of about 200 million, and Cheng Gong plans to attract about 100 million African people to live and work in Kenya and Somalia in five years through the large-scale construction of Kenya and Somalia.

In this way, it can not only provide a large number of "sweatshop workers" for the Donghua Empire, but also send a large number of excellent cannon fodder servants to the Donghua army, and lay a solid mass foundation for controlling the whole of Africa by economic means in the future.

As the scale of the battlefield of World War II became larger and more fierce, the changes in the war situation became more and more unpredictable, and the power of European countries in Africa became more and more hollow.

As for the interests of German colonial rule in various countries in southern Africa, Cheng Gong did not intend to pay attention to it for the time being.

Cheng Gong believed that with Hitler's shrewdness, he would definitely strictly order the German corps deployed in southern Africa not to interfere with Donghua's development interests in Africa.

As for the war between the Italian African Korps and the Anglo-American allies in Egypt, Cheng Gong will not interfere.

If he didn't seize the time to take advantage of the current once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enclose land in Africa, Cheng Gong would definitely despise himself even for himself.

The total annihilation of the Pacific Fleet of the US First Army and the combined forces of the United States and the Philippines by the Japanese army is basically a foregone conclusion if nothing else.

The American officers and soldiers, who were frightened by the crazy bushido spirit of the devils, were defeated after their morale was greatly defeated.

Because the Donghua government clearly refused to allow the US-Philippine forces fighting in the Philippines to retreat to the territory of the Donghua Empire on the grounds that it was worried about provoking the Japanese army to bring the war to Donghua. As a result, the US-Philippine forces commanded by MacArthur had no way to retreat, and could only do everything possible to fight the Japanese army in the jungles of the Philippines.

In this regard, the White House of the United States also has no way to deal with the Donghua government.

In order to retain as many veterans with rich combat experience as possible for the US military, Hoover called Cheng Gong many times and begged Cheng Gong to help him in his personal face.

In the end, Cheng Gong reluctantly agreed to accept some of the American officers and soldiers who had retreated to Donghua, but the premise was that these American soldiers surrendered to the Donghua army, and could only stay as prisoners of war in the concentration camps limited by the Donghua army. The Donghua government will release these US prisoners of war in batches according to the situation.

MacArthur saw the hope of survival in a desperate situation, and the direct consequence was that the morale of the American-Philippine forces fighting the Japanese army on the front line was shaken, and even the Philippine indigenous army surrendered to the Japanese army in formation.

Of course, Cheng Gong will not care about the life or death of the US-Philippine coalition forces.

Anyway, MacArthur's ending as a prisoner of war in Donghua was decided, and Cheng Gong didn't bother to meet this Japanese protector in later history.

After determining that the Japanese military was formulating a strategy to occupy Hawaii in the east and then land on the west coast of the United States, Cheng Gong decided to give himself a long vacation and quietly went to Africa to hunt and spend his vacation. (To be continued.) )
