Charles is a retired French soldier, due to the defeat of France, there are reparations for the cession of land, resulting in domestic economic difficulties in France, and the French economy or financial industry is mainly based on loans, after the end of the war, a large number of factories can not repay the loan and lead to bankruptcy, Charlie can not find a job after retiring, so he had to go to the colony Bobo luck, it just happened that the emperor led the colonial government at that time wanted to hire retired soldiers after the Franco-Prussian War to do the defense of the expedition, so that there was a good exchange with the expedition team of other countries, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts, After all, foreign language education in the empire is only an elective subject, unlike later generations of university graduates who must have at least four levels. Charlie joined Wang Zhongqiang's expedition as an escort and translator after a simple Chinese training, and after several years of study and running-in, Charlie can be regarded as a loyal lackey of Wang Zhongqiang.

"Who is it? Indigenous? Wang Zhongqiang had also encountered attacks by natives in the course of his investigation before, but the expedition was not armed, and the two platoons of escort more than 30 people were basically domestic veterans or retired mercenaries like Charlie, which was more than enough to deal with the natives.

"I'm afraid not, sir. Those guys were all white, and the similarity in uniforms felt more like our patrols. ”

"Patrols? It's still far from Devasland, how can there be a white patrol. Wang Zhongqiang looked at Charlie suspiciously, hoping that he could solve his doubts.

"I don't know, sir! But sir, do we call in the guards to do the defense? ”

"Yes, it's better to send someone to contact them first. Ask them what they mean. ”

"Yes, sir." This kind of thing is generally better for Europeans like Charlie to come forward, knowing that there have been cases of foreign colonists attacking imperial expeditions in the past.

"Wait Charlie!"

"Yes, sir, what else is the matter?"

"Find someone to report back, just in case."

"Okay, I'll go." ――

Salambuka Roland Victor was the leader of the Boer patrol, and their mission was to ensure the safety of the newly built colonial village. They know very well that the most dangerous enemy is in this black African environment, even if the Chinese invent drugs to treat malaria. He now hopes that the colonial village will be built soon, so that he can get a police chief no matter what.

"Captain!" A young man who looked to be about eighteen years old ran up to Victor and said.

"What's the matter, Frank?" The Orange State, like many colonies, had a huge development dilemma: the Franks were one of the young men who had to be recruited into the border patrol in order to keep the colonial villages safe.

"We have an expedition of Chinese in front of us, and they sent people."

"Oh! Let's go and see. ”

"Hello sir!" Victor was puzzled by the white man in front of him, how could there be Europeans in the Chinese colonial expedition, but he still greeted politely.

"Good afternoon! I'm the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, well, I'm the captain of the expedition to the north, you can call me Charlie. As he spoke, Charlie easily cocked his thumb and pointed behind his back.

"Alright! Mr. Charlie, I am the Captain of the Border Patrol of the Republic of the Orange State, and you may call me Victor. Then Victor stretched out his hand and shook Charlie's hand, "Sir, I want to know why your country, well! Why did the expeditions of the Chinese Empire appear on the territory of our country? "China is obviously a yellow country, how can there be whites, every white person is somewhat racist these years, even if China is now the world's first-class power, Victor is still a little estranged about white people working for Chinese.

Charlie seemed to hear Victor's doubts and said, "Work! Ahem! You also know that Europe has just finished a big war, and I am unemployed, so I got this job. ”

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Victor continued: "Okay! Charlie now explains why the Chinese expedition appeared on the territory of our country. ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Victor! You're saying it's in your country. ”

"Yes, this is within the territory of the town of Kakamas in the Republic of Orange. You and the expedition behind you have invaded our territory. ”

"This is impossible, sir, there were no towns in your country when we arrived here two months ago. You can't do that, it's cheating. ”

"Ahem!" Victor coughed awkwardly, "Not two months ago, doesn't mean not now." You must know that this is black Africa, and we have the right to build cities in this unknown land. In order to preserve our territorial sovereignty, we will expel you. At this time, Frank next to him decisively raised the rifle in his hand and aimed it at Charlie and his two team members.

It is clear that the Boers must have established a colony nearby before they dared to patrol here. But Charlie knew very well that in this case, Victor would at most scare and scare them, so that he and the others would retreat.

"No, no! Boy, you'd better put your gun down, you're not old enough to play with this kind of thing, you should go to school kids. After seeing Rank's nervous pinching of the gun, Charlie turned his head to Victor and said, "Okay! Captain Victor, God said that both whites and Chinese are eligible for land in Africa. (Note: In 1860, the Chinese ambassador to the Vatican, Gong Mujiu, paid a visit to Pope Piyue IX, and later at a banquet attended by ambassadors from various countries, the Pope publicly said that China had gained the right to explore black Africa on an equal footing with European countries at the religious level, which is why the French expeditions consciously turned north to explore after China gained ownership of the Congo River basin))"

"No!" Victor said resolutely: "This is already the territory of our Boers. ”

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Young man, your gun is almost in my chest, beware of misfire, I said you should go to school. After saying that, Charlie said to Victor: "Okay! Mr. Victor, I will convey your words to the professor, as for the specific decision, I can only leave it to the professor of our expedition to decide, I hope you will understand"

"Bang!" Just as Charles was about to say the word forgiveness, a gun rang out, it was Frank's gun, an old-fashioned flint musket, because the aging of the flint springs and Frank's high tension caused it to go off.

"What are you doing?" Victor angrily turned around and yelled at Frank.

"Gone off, captain went off!" Frank replied visibly frightened.

At this time, the two team members brought by Charlie immediately squatted down to check Charlie's injury, and the two who were also retired immediately held down the wound and took out an emergency bandage to bandage it.

At this time, one of them raised his head and said angrily: "You must give a reasonable explanation, otherwise you will pay the price"
