Chapter 220: Kings Falls

April 13, 1870.

The weather was sunny and the temperature was moderate.

The surging and majestic Zambezi River rushes along the cliff wall like thousands of horses galloping into the depths of the bottomless canyon, and the huge water mist is refracted by the sun, forming a beautiful rainbow bridge.

The sound of the waterfall is like thunder, and the sound of the huge water impact can be heard for several kilometers on both sides, and you are even more impressed by the natural magic of being on the shore.

Standing on a boulder overlooking the waterfalls, I felt small for the first time, even though I had experienced countless life and death choices in the first 20 years of my life.

The war brought me only numbness, or rather, my work, the only means of subsistence I had.

And this wonder of nature has had a huge impact on my numb soul and washed my soul that has been stained by gunsmoke.

—Excerpt from "The Diary of Felix, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Kingdom of East Africa"

Felix's Diary is a rare and detailed written historical source of East Africa, showing how East Africa expanded and ruled the African region from Felix's perspective.

It can be regarded as a rare written evidence of colonization in East Africa, and the official attitude of East Africa in later generations is not to deny it, and Ernst only treated it coldly.

Yet, if someone wants to know the history of East Africa, they can't avoid Felix's diary, but the copyright of Felix's diary is in the hands of the royal family, and the price is set very high, and ordinary people still know more about this history through marketing accounts.

And there really was no better way than Felix's diary, and the East African government was keen to destroy evidence, as it had been since the establishment of the colonies.

A large number of historical sites and cultural cities, including those of the Arabs, were demolished in East Africa, so it is very difficult to find evidence of colonization in East Africa.

And the overall level of culture in East Africa at that time, there were few, or not able, people who kept a diary every day like Felix.

In addition to being able to write, you also have to solve the problem of paper and pen, which is generally only accessible to government officials, and East African government personnel have to struggle to even write an official document, let alone keep a diary.

Therefore, Felix's diary is even more important, coupled with Felix's high position in East Africa, and the blessing of the halo of famous generals, this diary is very popular.

Ernst's attitude towards colonial crimes was one of confession, but he rarely mentioned that East Africa was criticized by many so-called "progressive" double standards in the era of the Three Kingdoms.

However, the East African government still goes its own way, and once the descendants of the victims file a complaint, the East African government will reject it, because the East African government does not recognize his identity, and there are indeed Niagg who really want to fish in troubled waters, and his ancestors have lived in West Africa for generations, but they pretend to be the descendants of the original East African indigenous people who fled to West Africa.

As a result, the East African government only admitted that 200,000 indigenous people had been exported, and most of them were in the Sultanate of Zanzibar, which is a brotherly country in East Africa.

And the Sultanate of Zanzibar has long been raised as pigs by East Africa, and its life is quite good, so naturally there is no thought of death.

With the rapid development of the 21st century, the development of various countries has slowly entered a bottleneck, especially the various "reversal of black and white" movements set off by black Americans in an attempt to morally kidnap the whole world, but instead East Africa, the former colonial empire, has slowly had a whitewashing posture.

At least compared to the United States, the sentence is high, because there are no blacks in East Africa, and there is no such thing as racial discrimination.

Ernst only engaged in colonization and forced black labor, but he did not order the strange laws and regulations of the United States, and compared with the colonizers of his time, East Africa can be described as generous.

Because there is no targeted genocide, and even if there is, it is not the work of East Africa, it is just a cannibalism among the indigenous Africans. Even in the 21st century, this is still the case in West Africa, where tribal strife is rampant.

In the 21st century, Ernst, a controversial historical figure, has also been recognized by more and more ordinary people in countries outside East Africa, especially the various social conditions caused by the blackening of the United States and France, which have made the people in Germany more gathered under the banner of East Africa.

History is a cycle, and a typical king like Ernst, who has had a profound impact on the world, will still be praised for his merits, and the monarch of any empire under the concept of heroic history, no matter what sins he has, will be glorified by future generations.

……

King Constantine Waterfall.

Commander-in-Chief of the East African Army, Felix, as the proposer of the "Pocket" plan, was also the executor of this plan.

At this moment, he rode a black steed and watched as several East African Army soldiers set up an East African flag on a high ground on the north side of King Constantine Falls.

The East African army officially drank the north bank of the Zambezi River, and the "pocket" plan was completely completed. The "pocket" plan, which lasted five and a half months, occupied the entire territory of Zambia and part of the territory of the Republic of the Congo.

More than 800,000 square kilometers of new land was added to East Africa, and most of the indigenous kingdoms and tribes became dependent countries in East Africa, signing a large number of land transfer treaties for which they did not know.

King Constantine Waterfall is the famous Victoria Falls in Africa in the past life, and the indigenous people called Moses Otunya Waterfalls.

In fact, Victoria Falls was discovered by David Livingstone in 1855 and named after Queen Victoria.

However, as with the Great Lakes, what came to East Africa naturally had to be given a German name.

The origin of the name King Constantine Waterfall began an hour ago.

……

After the completion of the "Pocket" project, Felix traveled from the north to the vicinity of the Zambia River, starting in the kingdom of Yek and ending at the Moses Otunya Falls of the indigenous population.

"Commander-in-Chief!" East African soldiers saluted Felix.

Felix looked at the waterfalls in front of him and asked the people around him, "Well, what's the name of this waterfall?" ”

"Report Commander, we don't know, but the local natives call this Mosiotuniya."

"Moses Otunya? It's not good, this will also be the land of East Africa in the future, and it will have to be changed to a German name. ”

"Commander, I don't know what to call for it?"

"Since it is the land of East Africa, use His Majesty's name, and in the future, this place will be called Prince Constantine Waterfall."

However, Felix's mind turned, and he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, East Africa was going to establish a kingdom sooner or later, and it was not appropriate to call him a prince again.

"No, it's better to call it King Constantine Waterfall, so that this waterfall is worthy of the status of our East African kingdom."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

This is the origin of the name King Constantine Waterfall, which was settled in Felix's words, and for convenience, it is also called King's Waterfall.
