Chapter 211: Southwest Raiders
The United States has the Western Development, the East African version should be called the Southwest Development, and the Western Movement of the United States is a large-scale enclosure from the East Coast to the inland areas.
What is being done in East Africa is a large-scale advance to the southwest, and unlike the Indians, who are already weak, there are still many indigenous tribes in the southwest.
Felix's "pocket" area is estimated to have an indigenous population of about 3 million, and East Africa now needs these more than 3 million people to contribute to the construction of East Africa.
Of course, according to the long-standing policy in East Africa, indigenous children and women are not a need, but only a young and strong workforce.
In this way, there are only about one million "laborers" left, and more than two million "laborers" in East Africa now.
It is okay to use "labor", and there must be a standard for "labor", indigenous children are not productive, and they waste rations, so they don't want to, and women have the ability to work, but in order to strictly prevent the rigid adherence to the racial policy of East Africa, none of them can be left.
East African citizens are divided into three categories, pure white, pure yellow and mixed race, mixed race is naturally yellow and white, and although the gender ratio in East Africa has been improving, it is still more male than female.
If black indigenous women are allowed to exist, and some bachelors can't hold their pants, how will the whole black boy be solved when the time comes?
Regarding the gender imbalance in East Africa, Ernst has always emphasized that you can wait, there will always be opportunities, but if you get involved with black people, you will be exiled.
It is difficult to say where the exile will be, but generally speaking, it is the Alaska colony, and there are currently more than 300 people enjoying this treatment.
The East African government has repeatedly stressed to the residents of East Africa that they should not take these cases seriously, and that when they really arrive in Alaska, they will be called inappropriate every day, and the land will not be effective.
And exiled to Alaska, don't think about bringing little black boys and black women to Alaska, as for what to do with them......
Alaska currently has a population of more than 20,000 people, including more than 1,000 criminals, excluding regular immigrants and intermarriages with indigenous people.
The law has always existed in East Africa, and it has been strengthened in supervision, but there are always some of the more than two million people who do not change.
Due west of East Africa has expanded into the basin east of the upper Congo River, and further west lies vast tropical rainforests.
According to the ability of East Africa, it is possible to continue westward, because the Belgians colonized the entire Congo Basin along the Congo River upstream, and if East Africa continues to the west, it is more convenient to go downstream.
However, the rainforest area is too difficult to develop, and Ernst wants to see if Leopold in Belgium will still have the same eye on the Congo as he did in his previous life after East Africa has occupied the best of the Congo (highlands and mountains).
The Congo left to Leopold is only a large area of tropical rainforest in the lower reaches of the Congo Basin, lacking minerals, and the land is not easy to develop, so only rich timber remains, and the rainforest is not very populated, so Leopold can only play a more extreme pressing strategy if he wants to return to his roots.
From the Congo Basin to the east and south is blocked by East Africa, and to the west by the Portuguese and French, and there is only some way out of the northern highlands, that is, Central Africa and Chad.
In addition to the original indigenous tribes, several kingdoms from East Africa that had been driven from the Great Lakes region, as well as tribes from the north, had poured into it.
In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to call the Belgian Congo Congo, the real Congo kingdom is actually in Angola and the short section of the Congo River estuary, and the name of the Congo Basin is also derived from this country, in any case, there are not many good places left for Belgium.
Precipitation in central and southern Africa, bounded by the Katanga Plateau of Zambia and Congo, gradually decreases to the south, and its climate and topography are basically the same as those of East Africa, which is why East Africa is the focus of expansion in the southwest.

So after the annexation of Zambia, East Africa is still a plateau country, and in the future, only a railway will be built to connect the two places.
Expanding southward, it was bound to deal with the Portuguese, and the southern grasslands of Zambia were an important source of the Portuguese ivory trade.
There has always been an ivory trade route that traverses the east and west coasts of southern Africa, and the kingdom of Kazenbe is an important node in this trade route.
At either end are the Portuguese colonies of Angola and Mozambique, and even if East Africa swallows the middle area, it will not border Angola, and it is Mozambique that is really capable of intervening in East Africa.
But now, East Africa has become bold, especially since the commander-in-chief of the army, Felix, is a hawk in East Africa, and Prince Constantine is also from the military, both of whom have been in the Prussian army.
The style of the Prussian army is known to the whole of Europe, so the current state of government in East Africa can be imagined, that is, expansion, expansion and expansion.
Had it not been for the reconciliation between Ernst and Wise, it is estimated that Prince Constantine would have been able to strip Mozambique of the entire circle of indigenous power.
……
"The 1st Cavalry Battalion of East Africa is assembled!"
"Very well, the kingdom of Kazenbe has rejected our kindness in East Africa, and then we will give them a little cavalry shock?"
"Listen to my orders, go straight to the center of the Kazenbe Kingdom, capture the high-ranking people of its kingdom alive, don't be afraid that the hostages will lack arms and legs, as long as the people are in our hands, we will be afraid that they will not give in!"
The so-called goodwill of the East African government is not without reason, after the Yeke Kingdom was sold to the East African government by Msiri, some subsidiary forces took refuge in neighboring countries.
Some chieftains of the Kazenbe Kingdom also participated in this feast, and now the East African government directly asked them to spit out the benefits they had swallowed, and the Kazenbe Kingdom, which had not been beaten by East Africa, was naturally unwilling.
If it were the Kingdom of Malawi, which has been dealing with the East African government and the Mozambican colony all the year round, I am afraid that it would have found a scapegoat long ago and made amends.
……
"Hehe, everyone listened to my advice, is it more nourishing now than living in the Yek Kingdom, Afonso's kid is willing to be a dog for the Germans, but everyone knows that the ambition of the German wolf will one day reap the consequences, unlike the Kazenbe Kingdom, this is the world of our Portuguese, and where is the African business not a market, the Yek Kingdom does not even have a living person now, even if Alphonso wants to monopolize the Yeke Kingdom market, he can't find a supplier." Santos said to his younger brothers with a smug face.
After returning to Kazenbe, Santos quickly got in touch with his previous partners, the Portuguese were originally short of manpower in Africa, so they quickly agreed to Santos and others to join, and Santos has accumulated a lot of money in the Yeke Kingdom, and now there are many people, and there are many people in the Kazenbe Kingdom.
"Boss, don't worry, as the saying goes, laugh at the end, laugh the best, there will always be a day when Afonso cries."
Afonso cried or not, I don't know, but Santos and the others will soon be unable to laugh.
