Chapter 131: Northwest Immigration Work

The front is advancing quickly, with the Kingdom of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala at hand.

Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala faced great pressure from the East African colonies, and finally suppressed the Eastern Bantu people, and now they have new enemies to face.

Unlike the Kingdom of Karawi and the Kingdom of Burundi, the Kingdom of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala did not share a border with the colonies of East Africa before, so they basically did not know much about East Africa.

But the enemy who can make Burundi flee the whole country must be ruthless, and it will also be a headache to face the new invaders, the Kingdom of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala.

After all, compared with the kingdoms of Burundi and Karawi, the kingdoms of Rwanda and Igala are not much better, and the impact of the Eastern Bantu on the four southern countries was catastrophic.

At present, the princes and ministers of the two countries are very entangled, whether it is better to fight well or escape, and they may not be able to fight, and they are reluctant to flee their little belongings.

If it was before the invasion of the East Bantu, the two countries would definitely have the confidence to fight in East Africa, and now looking at the state of the country, it is a question of whether they can come up with a decent army.

Soon, the two countries will not have to struggle, and refugees from Burundi and the Kingdom of Karaoui have helped them make a choice.

Although this wave of refugees is small compared to the invasion of the Eastern Bantu, now is not the time when the two countries were strong in the past.

And even if there is an influx of Burundian and Karavi refugees, and rumors are spread along the way, the East African colonial army is described as a devil, and the kind that eats people without salt, one is more terrifying than a hundred East Bantu people (of course, the vast majority of natives don't know how to count at all, that's what it means).

As for whether the people of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala believe it? A person who said this must be a rumor, so many people fled from the southeast, they must not be dizzy, everyone in the East African colonies does not know, everyone knows the people of East Bantu!

More powerful than the people of Dongbantu! Without waiting for news from the central government, the people of the two countries who had suffered from the war had already fled north with all their belongings and refugees from Burundi and Karawi.

The people of the country have all fled, and they are still resisting a fart, and the top of the kingdom also plans to run away, gather all available forces, and go to the north.

Compared with the East African colonies, the natives are still willing to deal with other natives, anyway, the East Bantu people do it, then I will do it, and the two countries plan to go north and reopen.

Of course, the high-level leaders of the two countries are not stupid and will not go to the four northern countries to find unhappiness, but only plan to use the road to the northwest of Africa to develop (Congo and Central Africa).

As for why not go directly to the west, the main reason is that the mountains and forests in the west are not easy to pass through, so it is better to take the road from the northern countries (plateau meadows).

The choice to re-establish a country in the northwest is because these natives originally came to East Africa from West Africa (black Africans originated in West Africa), although the natives did not have a written record of their origins, but by word of mouth, myths and legends, they probably knew that their ancestors came from the northwest.

And national migration is very normal for this kind of primary civilization with a low degree of development (refer to the change of the capital of the Shang Dynasty), which is originally the level of slash-and-burn cultivation, and it is a big deal to find a new place to develop.

……

"Are all the people on board?" Werner Yori, captain of the East African Inland Lakes Force, asked.

"Captain, the number is all there, in addition to our own people, a total of one hundred and twenty-seven immigrants have boarded the ship, and the supplies to the front line are almost ready." Hanks Fisher replied.

"Alright, let's go!" Werner Yori said.

While the war was going on on on the front lines, the East African colonies were also accelerating the pace of immigration.

East Africa's Inland Lake Troops have also joined the task of transporting migrants and supplies, and the Mwanza Shipyard has worked overtime to produce ships to increase the capacity of the Inland Lake Forces.

In addition to waterways, East Africa has also opened up inland migration transportation routes, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive, so military supplies and other materials that are eager to be transported to the front line are mainly transported by the Neihu troops.

The first immigrants to the northwest set off with Yarman's troops, pushing food in improvised wheelbarrows and carrying tarpaulins.

It takes about a month to walk to Burundi and Karavi, 28 days as fast as possible, early 30 days as late, and as fast as 23 days if there is a waterway in Mwanza.

Of course, it was certainly impossible to walk alone, and the East African colonies had scraped together large quantities of livestock and vehicles to transport migrants and supplies.

At the same time, the villages and cities along the route were used as strongholds, and the emigrants and troops were facilitated in sections, and rations and drinking water were prepared, which greatly saved time.

In particular, the Central District and the Upper Coastal District, with their dense villages and large populations, coupled with the early development of animal husbandry, were temporarily able to lend a large number of transport capacity to serve immigrants.

At present, there are about 3,000 immigrants arriving in Hong Kong every day (some fluctuate, some months have more immigrants, some months have fewer immigrants), which is the effect of the recent superposition of German immigrants and Paraguayan immigrants.

About 1,800 of them were sent to the newly occupied areas north-west of Burundi, about 900 to western Kenya, and the remaining 100 or so to Omolat (Omo River basin).

The first of these migrants to Burundi and the Karavi region was on 3 May, and it is already June (the war is ready for the beginning of April, and the war begins in May).

In nearly a month, more than 50,000 people were settled in the East African colonies, just like Burundi and Karavi, but fortunately, the East African colonies are now food-producing areas, and with the support of the Hexingen Foundation, so many immigrants can be supplied in a short time.

Now that the war has been going on for more than a month, the East African army is about to break into Igala and Rwanda (the army marches faster than the migrants, so the army and the migrants set off at the same time, but the army is faster in the later stage).

Sufficient immigration ensured the development of the newly occupied areas, after all, the indigenous countries of the northwest had moved away from hunting and relied on primitive agriculture to survive, so the new immigrants only had to accept the indigenous lands.

The work of the immigrants was mainly to redivide and modernize the indigenous lands, and the development conditions were definitely better than in the initial stage of the East African colonies.

After all, only the Sultanate of Zanzibar had some plantations along the coast at that time (at that time the East African colonies had not yet annexed the coastal lands of the Sultanate of Zanzibar), and all the land had to be developed by itself.

Of course, the newcomers also have their own difficulties, that is, the migration route of more than 1,000 kilometers is a big challenge for these immigrants from the Far East, Europe and South America.

Fortunately, the colonial government of East Africa has arranged a number of service points along the route, otherwise the journey would have been very tragic.
