Although Mrsiri had already sold the Yek Kingdom to East Africa, the Yek Kingdom had a land area of more than 100,000 square kilometers, so it took three months for the East African government to completely take over the place.

The most difficult point is immigration, which is even more difficult because the overall number of new immigrants in East Africa is decreasing, and the Yek Kingdom is deep inland, and it is also the farthest away from the main landing ports in East Africa.

It takes a lot of time to get here from the seaside, and the city of Mbeya has even diverted some of its own share of immigrants here.

……

The former capital of the Yeke Kingdom.

At this moment, the palace of the capital of the Yeke Kingdom has been emptied, and the natives have been driven away, but there are still some people who remain here, in addition to East African immigrants, and some are Portuguese merchants.

"Mr. Santos, I have found out that these people are Germans, and they made a deal with Msiri and bought this place, but we don't know the exact deal." Afonso said.

"Has this Msiri been kicked in the head by a donkey? Not only to give up the Yek Kingdom, but also to help the Germans drive out their own people! Santos said angrily.

Santos was so angry because of the eviction policy in East Africa, which wiped out the fruits of years of hard work in the region.

The Portuguese were far from being involved, but there were still many Portuguese traders who ventured into the interior of Africa, which was risky but also more profitable.

Santos has gained a lot of income by virtue of his operation in the Yeke Kingdom, and these natives who have never seen the world are quite easy to deceive, especially after East Africa blocked the original trade routes of the Yeke Kingdom, in the past two or three years, Santos has made even more money.

The good times didn't last long, and now East Africa has taken action against the Yeke Kingdom, and the most outrageous thing is that this group of Germans still don't want natives, which makes Santos's original supply directly cut off.

However, East Africa only expelled the natives, and the Portuguese merchants still maintained respect, so they stayed.

"You're in touch with the Germans?" Santos asked.

"Yes, but we don't know the general result until we have an indigenous translation, which lacks a lot of vocabulary and meaning, so there may be some discrepancies in the translation." Afonso said.

"What do the Germans say?" Santos asked.

"It turned out to be good, and my people can stay here, but they will have to follow their laws." Afonso said.

"What's the good result? They drove the natives away, and our supply of goods was directly gone, how can this loss be calculated? Originally, we were doing an exclusive business, but now there are no goods, and there is no business to do. And what bullshit laws, it's not what their people say yet! What laws does the colony talk about? Santos said indignantly.

"Mr. Santos, the results are already good, the Germans promise to continue to supply us, but they need to have all the manpower, they say just wait a few months." Afonso said.

"I'll just say that these Germans have a sick brain! Why did you drive the natives out of the lack of people? And what kind of face to say that there is a shortage of manpower? And who's going to wait a few months? ”

Sanders was really angry, these Germans did something harmful to others and not themselves, although Portugal was also colonizing Africa, but the indigenous people were an important asset of the colony as labor, and the approach of these Germans was simply rebellious.

And how much can Germany immigrate if it has great ability? Can't you see that Portugal has been in Africa for hundreds of years, and the immigrant population is only so small?

"What do you guys think?" Santos asked the crowd.

Afonso said: "Sir! After careful consideration, I intend to stay. ”

"Where's you?"

The remaining Portuguese merchants, some wanted to stay, while others said they wanted to leave.

"No matter how determined you are, I'm planning to leave this hellish place, and I won't have a business for a few months, so how much less money will I make? I plan to go to the kingdom of Kazenbe in the south. "Santos made his attitude clear.

The kingdom of Kazenbe, to the southwest of the Yek kingdom, on the southern shore of Lake Mveru and bordering the kingdom of Malawi to the east, was founded by the Ronda.

The Kingdom of Kazenbe is an important node in the African ivory trade, and Santos was originally active in the Kingdom of Kazengbe, and later developed in the Kingdom of Yeke.

Relatively speaking, the interests of the Kazenbe Kingdom are greater, but there are also many competitors, so Santos led a group of people north to develop the Yeke Kingdom.

Afonso and the others are equivalent to Santos's partners, and they have indeed made a lot of money in the past two years in the Yeke Kingdom.

However, Afonso has his own ideas, and now he does not want to leave the Yek Kingdom, although this place has been annexed by the East African colonies, but those goods and ivory will not run away with long legs, and he also knows that Santos has wanted to leave this place since the Germans came.

As the number two among the local Portuguese merchants, after Santos leaves, isn't this area his own?

And before the party, Afonso had been in charge of contacting the Germans, and Santos was very cautious and unwilling to negotiate with the Germans in person, mainly because he had been overseas for a long time, suffered too much loss, and was afraid of being hacked.

The East African government actually promised the Portuguese the right to operate local ivory and other businesses, but in Afonso's mouth, the East African government agreed to allow Portuguese merchants to remain here.

Ernst had always been cautious in his colonization of Africa, especially with the Europeans and Arabs, who had swallowed up these lands, but whose goods continued to be handed over at relatively low prices.

Stabilize them first and prevent them from going back to call their parents, of course, the Portuguese merchants of the Yek Kingdom do not have this kind of energy.

They were far away from the Portuguese colonial sphere of influence and were spontaneous commercial activities, but East Africa did not know this, after all, the Portuguese came to Africa too early, and East Africa had not yet figured out where the Portuguese influence in the interior of Africa could radiate.

"I would like to remind you that the Germans are not good people, at least I do not believe in their promises, and my experience over the years has taught me that colonizers are synonymous with cruelty, and you should not expect the Germans to share their interests in vain.

Think about it from another perspective, we have been active in Africa for so long, relying on deceit and the things in our hands, and the Germans will definitely do it more ruthlessly. Santos said to those who wanted to stay in the Yek Kingdom.

Sure enough, under the persuasion of Santos, many people who supported the Leavers faction, which was already relatively small, wavered and joined the supporters of the Leavers.

Santos was actually unhappy that Afonso wanted to get rid of himself and go it alone, but he didn't show it either, after all, this is now East African territory.

Moreover, Santos himself is not optimistic about the prospects of the Yeke Kingdom, so it is better to let Afonso and the gang stay here, and they will regret it in the future.

As long as most people follow them, they also need a group of more loyal younger brothers to return to the Kazenbe Kingdom to develop.
