Economic colonization, which is much less expensive than military colonization. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Moreover, economic colonization is far less hateful than military colonization.

Even if the Great Donghua Empire had the world's first military strength and scientific and technological strength, Cheng Gong would not be stupid enough to clamore for the whole world to be included in the territory of the Great Donghua Empire.

The establishment of the African Union and the control of Africa is undoubtedly a major move by Cheng Gong to test the bottom line of the white world in Europe and the United States.

Since the first industrial revolution, the discourse of the world has been dominated by white Europeans. Especially in the modern century, the whole world has been shrouded in the absolute authority of the British Empire. Even the United States, which claims to be the most powerful in industry, did not dare to challenge the pride of the British Empire.

Breaking the original world order and establishing a new world rule is, in a sense, actually stepping on the fallen corpse of the British Empire and replacing it!

The glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, even the American imperialism of later generations cannot be compared with it.

If you want to turn the Great Donghua Empire into an empire that surpasses the sun never sets, Cheng Gong knows very well that this is by no means something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

The African strategy was the first step in the external expansion of the Great Donghua Empire. In order to stand firmly on this step, Cheng Gong did not hesitate to sit in Africa in person, no matter which country, which organization, which force wants to challenge, Cheng Gong will resolutely accompany him to the end.

Clearly, Churchill, Hoover, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito were aware of Cheng Gong's determination.

No matter how unwilling they are, none of them will be stupid enough to build the Donghua Empire as a fierce rival at this time.

Despite the petty actions in the shadows, none of the agents and spies of various countries operating in Africa dared to reveal their identities. Some people even did not hesitate to pretend to be other countries after being arrested by the CIA and the military commanders of the Donghua Empire in an attempt to muddy the waters.

Never since the colonial era of Europe has there been a country that has made the whole of Africa its backyard.

The Dutch, Spanish, British, French, and Adispensians fought on the African continent. However, even in the most glorious era of the empire, the British did not have the ability to turn the African continent into the exclusive colony of the British Empire, like the Indian subcontinent.

It's not that these European colonizers didn't want to include the whole of Africa, but that the ethnic contradictions and tribal conflicts of various African countries have turned Africa into a big chicken rib.

Regions with obvious wealth, such as South Africa, which is rich in gold and diamond mines, are naturally the big fat that everyone wants to compete for.

Those undeveloped areas have become synonymous with ignorance, barbarism, poverty and backwardness in the eyes of Europeans.

Since the outbreak of the first industrial revolution around the world, Africa has gradually become the source of industrial raw materials and slave labor in Europe.

In order to be able to plunder all kinds of industrial resources from Africa for a long time, the most effective means is to turn African countries and peoples into scattered sand, so that they can never unite against foreign invaders and predators.

However, Emperor Cheng made an unprecedented African Union organization, and also made the African Union shout the slogan "Africa is the Africa of Africans", which is obviously to twist the African people into a rope and shape the black people into the rhythm of the biggest racial enemy of the whites!

Regardless of whether the Donghua Empire can firmly control the AU in the future, judging from the current situation of the Donghua Empire's large-scale economic development in Africa, it is basically a certainty that the AU will be able to confront the European powers in the future.

From a strategic point of view, the pattern of the African Union dominating Africa has taken shape, which is the trend of the times, and it is not something that any country or force can stop.

Since there is nothing but to prevent it, then we have to think seriously about how to get the most out of the AU.

The African Union fully adheres to the open door of the Donghua Empire's free-market economic policy, and businessmen and factory owners from any country can invest in Africa.

Therefore, the industrial and commercial groups such as consortia and business groups invested in Donghua from all over the world have followed Donghua investors to bring a new scene of modern industrial civilization in Africa, a wasteland of modern industry.

The top-down literacy campaign, enforced by the African Union and the governments of the member states, has turned Chinese and Mandarin into the first language in Africa in a way that "everything is silent".

"Books with the same text, speaking with the same language" seems to have become the most important foundation for the African people to make a fortune and move towards a moderately prosperous and civilized life.

The law that 20 percent of the elite holds 80 percent of the wealth, regardless of country or race, is the common denominator.

The socially disadvantaged groups struggling to survive in the poor will always represent the largest population base in society.

This kind of vulnerable group, they never care who is in power and who governs. In their hearts, they will support whoever can keep them well fed and clothed.

The so-called national independence and democratic/self-reliance have always been a fig leaf used by elites with political demands to hijack public opinion and popular will.

In the words of Emperor Cheng, as long as the two major artifacts of "subsistence allowance" and "medical insurance" are sacrificed, no matter where you are, you can win the hearts of the people as quickly as possible.

The Donghua Empire originally controlled nearly half of the world's gold reserves, and after the outbreak of World War II, countries used gold to purchase arms and various civilian goods from the Donghua Empire, and the gold reserves of the Donghua Empire have exceeded two-thirds of the world's gold reserves.

The African Union has a consumer market of nearly 200 million people, and its abundant gold reserves allow Donghua Imperial Bank to print as many billions of Asian dollars as it wants.

With ultra-high credit and sufficient gold reserves, the Asian dollar issued by the Donghua Empire has become the strongest international market settlement unit in the world.

Therefore, the large-scale development of Africa in the Donghua Empire does not need to worry about insufficient funds at all.

Moreover, with Africa's rich mineral resources as collateral, the government of the Donghua Empire did not worry about the investment in Africa going down the drain.

A large number of infrastructure construction projects such as roads, railways, airports, reservoirs, and housing projects have been broken to create huge economic and social effects while winning the hearts and minds of the people.

With Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya in the front, and Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Niger, Nigeria, Central Africa, and Cameroon following closely behind, even if individual tribal groups in West Africa, North Africa, and Central Africa want to play against the African Union, they will not be able to raise any storms at all.

With the full membership of the first 24 member states of the African Union, French, English and Spanish, which were previously popular in these 24 countries, have been gradually replaced by Mandarin.

The convening of the "Crescent Island Conference" has made the AU and its member states soberly aware that the AU has been recognized by the international community and that the AU can henceforth present a splendid chapter belonging to the African people on the international stage.
