PS: Today's second shift, ask for votes

............................................................

April 15, 2783 (1942), Mugu (Mogadishu), Shou Ma Province, China.

Shouma Province is a new territory that China acquired only the year before last, and its jurisdiction is equivalent to the northeast and north of Somalia and Kenya, about a quarter of Kenya. Its area is approximately 780,000 square kilometers. The original name of Mugu City was "Mogadishu", but after China took over, it was renamed "Mugu", which is named after the ancient Chinese name for the place - "Mugu Dushu". It is also the capital of the province of Massachusetts.

Mugu is a historic city, and as early as the 9th century, the area around it was a major link between the interior of Somalia and the outside world. Green cultists from Persia or the Arabian Peninsula came to colonize the area around the 10th century, and due to their relative economic superiority and many years of intermarriage with the locals, they established a stable mixed civilization, often referred to as the city-state civilization of East Africa.

By the 15th century, the city-state, known in ancient China as the "Kingdom of Monks" and "Wooden Bone Bundle", had developed into a very large trading city, producing cloth and other goods that were even exported to other regions, including Egypt. In addition to importing large quantities of pottery from Arabia, Chinese porcelain, and cloth from India, it also produced minerals and exported wood, ivory, shells, slaves, and iron ore to other regions.

However, the good times did not last long, and the Age of Discovery came. The cowardly Portuguese dominated the entire east coast of Africa, and Mogadishu was certainly not immune to the fate of the Portuguese. In the 16th century, it became a Portuguese colony. The city changed hands several times, and in 1892, the Sultan of Zanzibar leased the city of Mogadishu to Italy, and in 1905 it was officially sold, and the Italian side made the city the capital of Italian Somaliland, an Italian colony in East Africa.

During World War I, it was conquered by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, along with the whole of Italian Somaliland, and eventually used to exchange a number of Pacific and Indian Ocean islands with the British, and became a British colony. After the outbreak of World War II, the Somali region was conquered by East African forces. After East Africa got it, it was blown up by China again, and this place, along with the entire Somali region and a quarter of Kenya, was handed over to China as compensation for defeat and a ransom for the army.

As a result, this land became the Chinese province of Shouma.

Mokoo is now the capital of Massachusetts Province, and since October of the previous year, it has also become the seat of the "Western Governor", the highest administrative organ of the Chinese government in the western Indian Ocean, just outside the port area of Mukoo.

Today, there was a jubilant mood in the Governor's Palace, and a crowd of Chinese officials were surrounding Governor Simon and praising him.

"Comrade Simon, this time you went out differently, and you directly got 350,000 square kilometers of land from those Erdezi and, it's really ...... Is...... There are no ancients before!" Jin Muzhen, the mayor of Mugu City, couldn't think of a suitable adjective, and finally held back a "unprecedented".

"Yes, yes, Comrade Ximen fought with his tongue and tongue, and without spending a single soldier, he stretched out his bow and arrows, and directly got the whole of Kenya in his hands! There has been no such precedent in China for thousands of years!" Chen Feng, the governor of Shouma, was also so excited that his face was flushed.

Yes, in the negotiations on the "Sino-German East African Question" that began a few days ago, Governor Simon, representing China, succeeded in getting Germany and the East African Republic to spit out all of Kenya. This brings the total area of territory under China's current control to 38.65 million square kilometers.

The executives were overjoyed. You must know that this kind of thing is usually done by the military and diplomat, and this is the first time that the administrative department is doing it.

"Comrades......" Ximen Chuixue behaved very indifferently as a party concerned, although there was a joy in his eyes that could not be concealed, but as a leader, he still had to appear calm on the surface. "This time the result is all well planned by the central government, I am just an executor, there is no need to exaggerate my ...... so much"

Everyone said that Comrade Governor was too modest.

"No, no, no, I'm telling the truth. Think about it, if it weren't for the fact that we had a strong motherland, a powerful army, and the world's first science and technology, would Erdezi and the be able to spit out the territory they had eaten so easily?" Comrade Simon smiled and said: "Although I was alone during the negotiations, there were 940 million compatriots and 6 million soldiers standing behind me! There were also dozens of battleships and aircraft carriers, dozens of cruisers, hundreds of destroyers and frigates, tens of thousands of warplanes and combat vehicles, and more than 100,000 artillery pieces......”

"Think about it, with such strong support, what does it matter if I am alone or not?" Simon said calmly. When he is in this position, he is very accurate about this kind of thing. His credit is his credit, who can hack it?

"Comrade Governor said it so well!" said the crowd.

After everyone talked for a while, Governor Chen Feng suggested that a celebration banquet be held to celebrate the Governor's achievements. Naturally, it was unanimously passed.

This matter is just a "trade". As the most important junior brother of the Soviet-German camp in Africa, the East African Republic has taken on a great responsibility, and they have now mobilized more than a million troops and are currently fighting fiercely with American junior brothers and black forces in the US state of Congo.

However, the industrial base of East Africa itself was too poor, and even the production of guns and shells could not meet the needs of the war. Although there were a lot of stocks before the war, after such a long fight, their stocks were almost empty. Now that there is an army that has increased several times, this weaponry, ammunition and all kinds of materials are no longer enough.

If you look at the map, East Africa is too far away from the Soviet Union, and although it now borders Soviet-controlled North Sudan, there are no railways or roads in this area. And the sea route has not been opened, and the Suez Canal is now in the hands of British and American troops on the northern side, and it cannot be crossed, as for the Atlantic route? What do you want?

The small amount of transportation by car and plane alone will not be able to meet the needs of the East African army. Although the Black Corn of the British and American camps opposite the people is a little scum in combat effectiveness, the weapons are a lot of American-style equipment. You can't let the East African blackies fight with big swords and spears, right?

Moreover, after several years of war, life in East Africa is also not good, not to mention that it is difficult to sustain the consumption of the army. Even the daily consumption of the domestic people is not enough. There was no way, a large number of labor forces were requisitioned, which caused great damage to social production. After all, East Africa is a new country, and although it is hailed as a model of a black country, it is also compared to other black countries. The foundation is not very good, and after more than a year of war, you can imagine how sad the domestic situation is.

In that case, it is necessary to import weapons and materiel from foreign countries. And at this time, who else can they look for but China?

Well, you can imagine. In the style of Mr. Wen, in the war, paper money will not be collected, only real money, silver and mineral materials will be collected, and no credit will be owed. But there is so much real money in East Africa, and there are not enough mineral materials. So the Chinese side said that you can exchange land for land without real money and mineral materials. That's fine.

Germany and East Africa, which were in dire need of weapons and supplies, could only succumb to reality, and of course East Africa would not use their own territory as payment, but the territory they had stolen from the British as payment. That's what is left of Kenya, about 350,000 square kilometres.

Moreover, China only sells all kinds of materials directly, but weapons are not sold directly, but indirectly through the little brother of Siam. This is because the League of Nations made a "Neutrality Act" in the 30s, which stipulated that weapons should not be sold to the warring parties, and China, as the eighth permanent member of the League of Nations, is also a signatory country. In order to maintain the image of Wei Guangzheng, it is natural to pay attention to the appearance of eating. However, Siam did not join the "Neutrality Act" and did not sign it.

As mentioned earlier, the Chinese in Siam already account for one-third of the total population, and the entire country's politics, economy, military and culture are controlled by China. If it was to be annexed, it would have been annexed a long time ago. The reason why he stayed in this country was to use it as his own vest, and Siam stepped in to do some things that were not suitable for China. Although everyone knows this kind of thing, at least on the surface, it's okay.

Most of the weapons supplied to East Africa this time are not Chinese, but obsolete weapons collected from the countries of the People's Revolutionary Union that are about to be phased out. Because the weapons that China has redressed have almost sold so far, and the younger brothers of the People's Revolutionary Federation are changing their outfits and have a large number of stocks, this time it is just time to clear the warehouse. This part of the cost is paid by China with new weapons, that is, the old ones are exchanged for the new.

Governor Simon did a very good job, on the one hand, he earned all the rest of Kenya, and on the other hand, he helped the People's Revolutionary Union Group clear out the obsolete products.

At the celebration banquet that night, everyone talked and laughed about the latest hot spot - Madagascar.

Although this is a secret agreement between China and France, and people from the outside world don't know much, everyone here is a high-ranking official, and they all know a thing or two. In addition, a few days ago, the leading party from Madagascar came to ask for help, and this kind of trick is familiar to everyone.

"I've heard that Madagascar has just over 2 million people, but 8.8 million hectares of arable land and 34 million hectares of pasture. The land there is fertile, the climate is suitable for the growth of various tropical and temperate food and cash crops, and more than two-thirds of the arable land is cultivated with rice. It's unbelievable that there could be a famine in such a place......" Kaneki said in an exaggerated tone.

"It seems that these people are not good for a country, and in order to demonstrate international justice, I think we in China have an unshirkable responsibility......

"Well, geographically, if we control Madagascar, we can control the entire Indian Ocean......," said the magistrate of Red Sea County, "I wonder if the central government has any considerations?"
