Congo used to be the largest country in Africa, but at the Berlin Conference in the mid-eighties of the last century, the Congo was divided into two parts by European colonizers, the inland area accounting for 90% of the country's land area was divided into France, called the French Congo colony, and a smaller part was assigned to Belgium by the coast, called the Belgian Congo.

With the occupation of Belgium by the Germans, the question of belonging to the Belgian Congo became a concern for the great powers. The day after Belgium was occupied by the Germans, France proposed to annex Belgian Congo to French Congo, but was strongly opposed by the Belgian government-in-exile.

Later, in addition to France, Britain also proposed that Belgium would transfer the Belgian Congo to the British, but because the Belgian homeland was occupied, the Belgians wanted to leave a place where they could stand, even if the Belgian Congo was a colony, it was a refuge for the Belgians in exile. Thus, the proposal of the British was likewise rejected by the Belgian government-in-exile.

Similarly, for the Chinese Empire, the gold and ivory of the Belgian Congo have always been something that the Chinese Empire was anxious to get. Moreover, the Belgian coastal city of Banana Port is a rare natural harbor in West Africa, and for the global projection power of the Imperial Chinese Navy, acquiring this port to develop a naval base will greatly enhance the influence of the Chinese Empire on the west coast of Africa.

"It's better not to use force unless you have to! We shouldn't give the impression of bullying! ”

According to the instructions of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Wang Chenhao, the imperial government did not use force to the maximum extent and obtained the Belgian Congo by peaceful means. Thereupon. The Chinese Empire tried to acquire the Belgian Congolese colony from the Belgian government-in-exile by peaceful redemption, but was also rejected.

The Chinese Empire raised prices many times and used various means to force it, but the Belgian government-in-exile had the attitude that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Just don't agree. For this reason, the Chinese Empire was ready to use force to seize the Belgian Congo. ╔╗

However, an unexpected incident changed the attitude of the Belgian government-in-exile, which finally agreed to transfer the Belgian Congo to the Chinese empire, which was "taking advantage of the fire".

July of the year after the outbreak of World War II. Due to the failure of the Italian army to open up the North African battlefield, Hitler wiped the ass of his younger brother Mussolini. The German elite army had to be sent from Greece to North Africa. During this period, Rommel's African troops marched north from German West Africa, capturing large areas of land south of Lusambo in the French Congo. Although Rommel's main focus at the time was to go north to reinforce Italy rather than to occupy the French Congo, the fragility of the French army frightened the Belgians next to him.

At this time, the Chinese Empire again sent lobbyists to lobby the Belgian government-in-exile, saying that an attack on Africa by Germany and Italy was inevitable, with the strength of the German army. Soon France would lose its colonies in the French Congo, and the Germans would invade the Congo. The Chinese Empire was willing to pay 2,000 million dragon coins to buy the Belgian Congo from the Belgian government-in-exile.

Of course, the Belgian government-in-exile is very aware of the consequences, once the German army occupies the French Congo, then it is obvious that it will directly annex the Belgian Congo, and Belgium will not get any ransom money at that time, and even the Belgian factories, mines, estates and other assets in the Belgian Congo will be looted by the German army, which is known for its robbers, and the losses are incalculable.

As a result, the Belgian government-in-exile was forced by the international situation. It was decided to sell the Belgian Congolese colony. However, the Belgian government-in-exile also wanted to profit from this, and sent bidding invitations to France, Britain, and the Chinese Empire, hoping to take advantage of the psychology of China, Britain, and France to make a big fuss about the Belgian Congo colony.

The Chinese Empire was helpless about the petty tricks of the Belgian government-in-exile. I had to participate in the auction. Since Britain and France also wanted to get the Belgian Congolese colonies, their participation caused the auction price of the Belgian Congo to soar to 210 million dragon coins, and finally the Chinese Empire contributed 215 million dragon coins to prepare for the final hammer sale.

Originally, if the Belgian government stopped here, then 115 million dragon coins would be considered a big profit, although the value of the Belgian Congo is far more than this, but it is better than nothing. ╔╗However, the Belgian government-in-exile continued to be greedy and raised the price to 300 million dragon coins, and China, Britain and France all expressed great dissatisfaction.

At this juncture, Rommel won the battlefield in North Africa, and the Anglo-French forces were forced to withdraw from Libya and most of Sudan. With the German African Expeditionary Force entering the North African battlefield, Rommel's troops reached 300,000 men, in addition to stabilizing the rule of North Africa, Rommel saw that the French army in the French Congo was weak, so he turned around and sent the 19th Army south.

The German army's powerful armored forces went all the way to South Sudan, Central Africa, and Rwanda, and the Italian 13th Army Group, the Ninth Army, and the 99th Army in Ethiopia were also ordered to follow Rommel to send troops to the French Congo, British Sudan and other places, taking advantage of the fire to loot and expand the colonial territory.

The total strength of the German-Italian alliance was as high as 400,000, while the French army in the French Congo was only 130,000, and although the British army in Sudan had 200,000 troops, the main force had already abandoned the southern part of British Sudan and retreated to the vicinity of the Red Sea.

The French army was defeated by the German army three to zero in a row, and in the three battles of Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda, the French army was defeated one after another, with all casualties. The German-Italian forces had already occupied one-third of the colonial territory in the southeastern part of the French Congo, and now they had seized three-quarters of the land in one fell swoop. The French army knew that it could not hold the French Congo colony, so the remnants of the French army covered the French expatriates and fled west into the Belgian Congo with their property, and soon arrived at the seashore and returned home by French ships and ships.

Since the British Navy did not dare to fight the German Navy in a decisive battle with capital ships (the shadow of the Battle of Jutland has not been forgotten), the German Navy in the Atlantic was ordered to intercept the French and Belgian immigrants who had fled from the Congo, and Hitler also needed to get the gold and ivory and other riches plundered by the French and Belgians in the Congo, because Germany needed to pay for the import of oil from the Chinese Empire. ╔╗

The German Navy fiercely attacked the ships that were preparing to return to leave the Congo. As a result, the French and Belgians did not dare to take the boat. The Chinese Empire was annoyed that Belgium deliberately inflated the transfer price, and refused to allow the Belgians to board the only civil aviation flights owned by the Chinese Imperial International Airlines, which could leave Africa, on the grounds of strict neutrality (only the civil airliners of the Chinese Empire could fly around the world unimpeded, and other planes were often shot down by German fighters), but the British and the French were not restricted. This is clearly to give the Belgians a good look.

At this time, the Belgian government-in-exile relied entirely on Belgians abroad for its funding. With the Belgians in the Congo unable to leave the country, there is a great threat to life and property. They put pressure on the Belgian government-in-exile to make concessions to the Chinese Empire. Let's get them on a Chinese plane and leave "damned" Africa safely as soon as possible.

Under internal and external pressure, the Belgian government-in-exile had to make concessions and was willing to transfer 215 million dragon coins to the Belgian Congo to the Chinese Empire. But at this time, the Chinese Empire was not in a hurry, because the German army was rapidly conquering the French Congo, and it would not be long before it reached the Belgian Congo, so the Chinese Empire rejected the conditions of the Belgian government-in-exile.

The Belgian government-in-exile was forced to cut prices sharply, soaring all the way back to the 40 million dragon coin line. And hopefully Britain and France will be able to buy. But at this time, neither the French nor the British dared to buy the Belgian Congo. Because at this time, spending 40 million dragon coins to buy the Belgian Congo will be given to the Germans in a blink of an eye, and whoever buys it is a fool.

The Belgian government-in-exile was extremely sad and regretted that it should not have been sold to the Chinese Empire for 215 million dragon coins. But now there is no regret about taking the medicine, and the Belgian government-in-exile still has to count on the Chinese Empire to help escort the Belgians out of the Congo safely, so the Belgian government-in-exile simply gave it a generous hand and directly transferred the Belgian Congo to the Chinese Empire at a price of 10 million dragon coins, the only condition is that the Chinese Empire needs to ensure that the Belgians in the Congo are not ravaged by the Germans.

on this. ╔╗The Chinese Empire was very happy, but at this time, the Imperial Government felt that spending 10 million dragon coins was redundant, so it told the Belgian government-in-exile that if the Belgian Congo was transferred to the Chinese Empire free of charge, then the Chinese Empire would ensure the personal and life and property safety of the Belgians in the Congo free of charge.

Knowing that the Chinese Empire was taking advantage of the fire to rob. However, the German army had already reached the Belgian Congolese border, and the Belgians' lives and property in the Congo were far higher than 10 million dragon dollars, so the Belgian government-in-exile could only choose the lesser of two evils, and immediately agreed to transfer the Belgian Congo to the Chinese Empire free of charge.

On the border, Rommel was about to order the German army to enter the Belgian Congo and plunder the wealth of the Belgians, when the 6th Marine Division of the Atlantic Fleet of the Chinese Empire carried out a large-scale airborne landing in Kinshasa and landed directly on the opposite side of the German army.

Rommel was taken aback, immediately ordered the troops to stop moving, and sent an envoy to the headquarters of the 6th Marine Division of the Imperial Chinese Army on the opposite side to inquire.

"An hour ago, the Belgian government-in-exile transferred Belgian Congo to the Chinese Empire."

"What?"

Rommel was so shocked that he was so angry that his beard grew up (if he had a beard o(n_n)o).

"Your Excellency General, now that the Belgian Congo is a Central Congo, are we still going to attack?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Rommel suddenly glared at his subordinates angrily, and said, "Now that the surname has been changed there, unless the Empire goes to war against the Chinese Empire, we can't set foot there for half a step!" ”

"Damn it! The Chinese came at a good time! ”

The chief of staff also sighed at this time: "We must not start a war with the Chinese Empire, now we all know that the Belgians only transferred the Congo to the Chinese an hour ago, but if you look at the opposite, a whole Chinese Empire's airborne division, see that their number should belong to the Atlantic Fleet, you must know that their base should be in Puerto Rico, and it only took an hour to send an entire division, including light and heavy weapons and equipment, how strong this combat effectiveness is." ╔╗”

Rommel nodded, looking at the dragon flag of the Chinese Empire raised in the distance, he was both envious and hateful in his heart, the Chinese Empire not only dominated the world by nuclear weapons, but their conventional military strength was also not comparable to the German army, at least the current German army did not have that ability.

"Sooner or later, we can do it too!"

Rommel soon received instructions from the Marshal's Office in Berlin, and Hitler issued three identical orders asking Rommel to refrain from allowing the Germans to step into the central Congo. Rommel saw these three commands. couldn't help but smile bitterly and ordered a retreat.

The Germans came improvised, and returned in defeat. The Italian troops who came later did not dare to make a mistake, and left obediently.

That's it. The Belgian Congo fell into the hands of the Chinese Empire and became the first official colony of the Chinese Empire in Africa (Egypt was not counted), and since then more than ten tons of gold production of the Chinese Congo every year has been shipped to the Chinese Empire. Contribute to the continued strengthening of the dragon coin gold standard of the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese's preference for ivory was as early as the 30th year of Guanghua, and China became the world's largest consumer of ivory. As Congo became an overseas colony of the Chinese Empire, tens of millions of African elephants were killed in the following century, and after the middle of the 21st century, Congolese elephants became extinct, and only a limited number of African elephants could be seen in Congolese zoos.

After the Chinese Imperial Airborne Forces landed in the Congo, they were immediately praised by international military experts, saying that the conventional military force of the Chinese Empire was so strong that it could complete a global projection within an hour or two. This is extremely threatening for any country, because the Chinese Imperial Airborne Forces can achieve a large airdrop of division size in any country at any time and place, and its ability to quickly assemble can launch a powerful attack in a short period of time, and the elite troops of any country cannot be guarded against in front of them.

Accordingly, the countries of the world once again felt the pressure on the powerful military power of the Chinese Empire. The Allied powers led by Germany did not dare to easily tear their faces with the Chinese Empire and did their best to maintain friendly relations with the Chinese Empire, while the Entente countries led by Britain and France worked harder to drag the Chinese Empire into the water at any cost.

No matter how the Allies and the Entente felt about it. Through this appropriate deterrent operation, the Chinese Empire once again consolidated its position as a global hegemon, and the hearts of all countries had to stop.

The greatest influence was that Hitler further adjusted his attitude towards China and allowed the "Big Bad Wolf Fleet" of the Chinese Empire to visit Germany.

Previously, the Imperial Chinese Navy had always asked to visit Germany. But it was always rejected by Hitler on the grounds that the German Navy was in a state of war. However, seeing that the Chinese Imperial Fleet had been staying in Britain and France, constantly "smuggling" weapons and equipment to Britain and France, Hitler also hoped to change this situation and obtain advanced weapons and equipment from the Chinese Empire.

Especially after the Luftwaffe failed in the air raid on Portsmouth, Hitler was forced by the Luftwaffe to actively improve Sino-German relations and took the initiative to invite the Imperial Chinese Navy to visit.

For the "Big Bad Wolf Fleet" of the Imperial Chinese Navy, it has been more than a year since it sailed around the world, and its original purpose was to visit Germany, to show the German Navy and the people the powerful muscle mass of the Imperial Chinese Navy, to make the German Navy feel a huge gap, and to make the German Navy give up the idea of competing with the Imperial Chinese Navy for world maritime supremacy.

After receiving Hitler's formal invitation, the Imperial Chinese Navy sailed to Germany under the leadership of Li Dingxin and Yan Wang Guoming.

After a long journey, the "Big Bad Wolf Fleet" finally arrived at the most important stop of the journey, Wilhelmshaven, Germany.

Germany adopted an attitude of "quietly observing and then drawing conclusions" towards the "Big Bad Wolf Fleet". As early as when the "Big Bad Wolf Fleet" docked at the port of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, the German government mobilized thousands of German students in the Netherlands to welcome them and sing the national anthem of the Chinese Empire in Chinese as a sign of friendship. At the same time, the German Admiralty conveyed Hitler's invitation to the Imperial Chinese fleet to visit the military port of Bremen in order to further ascertain the details of the Chinese.

When the "Big Bad Wolf Fleet" arrived in Bremen, the famous German military port, almost all the Germans were stunned by the huge line-up of the Imperial Chinese Navy. The Germans began to take this opponent seriously, and they used to only stay in books about the understanding of the Chinese Imperial Navy, the world's largest power, but now they were suffocated by the strength of the Chinese Imperial Navy, especially when they saw the world's first nuclear-powered battleship, the Guanghua Emperor, they were immediately shocked.

The Chinese Imperial Officers and Soldiers were warmly welcomed not only by the local German naval staff, but also by the most friendly reception of the entire German country, and the celebration lasted for half a month. In the midst of the carnival, Hitler travelled straight from Berlin to Bremen to see for himself the nuclear-powered ultimate battleship Empress Guanghua.

When Hitler really saw this legendary invincible battleship, the nearby Chinese emperors threw him from the carpet into the air, and he didn't react. The senior German officials accompanying him were all sweating, for fear that Hitler would get angry on the spot and affect Sino-German relations. Because Hitler hated being thrown into the sky the most, he was said to have a fear of heights, and even he never flew in his life.

In fact, Germany did not really "welcome" its global rival, the Chinese Empire, as a guest, but felt the military pressure of the powerful Chinese Empire. Contrary to the unanimous attitude of "anti-Chinese" public opinion in Germany before the arrival of the "Big Bad Wolf" fleet, a German diplomat said: "The voyage of the Chinese Imperial Fleet did not cause unhappiness and fear in Germany, and this is a guarantee of friendship and peace between China and Germany." The German government also changed its previous arrogant posture and agreed to maintain the status quo in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Mediterranean Seas, and to respect the actions of the Imperial Chinese Navy in the Baltic Sea to maintain regional peace and stability.

For this reason, Cao Rulin, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, proudly declared: "This circumnavigation of the world, as a diplomatic 'stick policy,' is a major contribution of the Chinese Empire to the cause of peace."
