In the former Central African Republic, on the Azander Plateau.

Mbre, a fortress built with the terrain, looks very simple, made of stones at random, but it is not easy to pass through this place, one man is the gate, ten thousand people may not be able to reach it, it is still possible to arrange a platoon, if a few machine guns are erected, maybe seventy percent of the African countries in the previous life, there is no way to pass.

It was a military stronghold built by the North African Route Army, and a large group of indigenous Africans now pass through here with their belongings.

Compared with the Southern Route Army, the battlefield of the Northern Route Army can be said to be quite lively, and the places where the Northern Route Army passes through are one in southern South Sudan and the other in the Azande Plateau.

The Azande Plateau is located in the middle of Africa, between the Congo Basin, the Chad Basin, and the upper basin of the Nile, which is the watershed of the three, and the middle of the plateau is an east-west ridge-like mountain, which is more than 800 kilometers long, forming many passes during it, and becoming the north-south traffic artery.

The Central African Republic, which was located here in the previous life, is also appropriate, and if Africa is economically developed, Central Africa can at least be mixed with the name of the crossroads of Africa. Even in terms of economic value, the military value of the Azander Plateau is also very high, and from here it can directly threaten East and West Africa, two of the best agricultural regions in Africa.

The conditions of the Azander Plateau itself are not bad, the temperature and precipitation are slightly higher than those of East Africa, and if you ask Ernst to position it, it is almost the same as the Nanyang Basin.

The strategic position is prominent, all of them are the main points of north-south traffic, there are gemstone distribution, Central Africa is diamond, Nanyang's andalusite reserves are the crown of Asia, and kyanite and rutile rank first in China. Nanyang City in the basin is also famous for its jade carving industry at home and abroad, and is one of the three major jade carving towns in the Far East. Both places are rich in gold, rich in forestry resources, and equally rich in arable land, both with oil and radioactive minerals.

Having said all this, in fact, in other words, both have relatively average resource endowments, suitable for the development of agriculture, but in a strategic sense, they are both indispensable parts of their respective regions.

The mineral resources of Central Africa look very good, and it is gold and diamonds, in fact, these two are too common in sub-Saharan Africa, almost all of them are distributed in East Africa today, and other minerals basically have little value except for oil, mainly because the quantity is not enough, such as iron ore, the iron ore reserves in other parts of East Africa are based on 100 million tons, and Central Africa is a million tons, and Central Africa is a proper poor mining country in the whole Africa or the world.

Of course, the reason why the resource has not been fully explored cannot be ruled out.

……

Looking at the endless flow of people, the East African Army platoon commander Rhodes said: "These Burundians are really bad, they should have walked a little more west at that time, otherwise they would not have suffered a second sin now." ”

"Hehe, according to our front-line intelligence officers, among the eight indigenous kingdoms, the original Buganda kingdom ran the farthest, and it is said that it is now re-established near a Great Lakes region in the southwest, and they seem to have contacted the Ottoman merchants in Libya through caravans, purchased a lot of firearms, and have opened up the situation." Deputy platoon commander Vest said.

The Great Lakes that West refers to are Lake Chad, and the migration from the Great Lake (Lake Victoria) to Lake Chad is indeed difficult for the Bugandas to travel so far, but now the advantage is also reflected, that is, there is no need to carry out a second migration like the original indigenous countries of the Great Lakes region.

"Musat I still had some strategic vision, and when he was in the Northwest Campaign, he thought of running westward, and his eldest son, the fool who had taken refuge in the Egyptians, has not been heard from now, and if nothing else, he will not appear in the future."

Musat I was the king of the Buganda kingdom at the beginning, and he chose a different path from the prince of Buganda at that time.

And the prince of Buganda, when he first came to Egypt, was indeed treated favorably by local officials in Sudan, but later after East Africa cleaned up the population of Buganda, his united front value was gone, and the Buganda people were gone, and the so-called Prince of Buganda was naturally invalid, and the Egyptians were driven to the Sahara Desert to fend for themselves after looting the treasure he brought.

"The eight northwestern countries are not bad, but the local natives who were defeated by them are a little stupid, seeing our army, the people of the eight northwestern countries have directly surrendered or run away, and they still dare to oppose us."

"Although the eight northwestern countries are defeated by our subordinates in East Africa, their own strength is not weak, and they are crushing these indigenous tribes when they go to the Azande Plateau."

While the two were talking, the people of the Kingdom of Burundi had already passed through this place, and a black man who was walking at the end came forward to say goodbye to Rhodes.

"Mr. Rhodes, Mr. West, thank you for taking care of you!" The black man spoke.

"Hehehe, you're welcome, Chief Romrom, your Kingdom of Burundi is our old friend, it's quite emotional to meet the old man here, this time you are going west, what about me, as a friend of yours, I would like to give you a piece of advice, it's best to go as far as possible, follow the direction of the sunset, keep walking, if you meet other people like us with a guy in their hands, then don't panic and immediately turn around and go northwest." As he spoke, Rhodes patted the gun in his hand.

Rhodes had participated in the Northwest Campaign, the First War of Conquest, and had fought against the Burundians, so he said that he was an "old friend" of the Burundians, and at the same time gave a small suggestion to the new kings of the Burundian Kingdom.

Rhodes's suggestion was well-intentioned, but it frightened Romrom, who asked, "Are there still your men in the east?" ”

"Of course not, but it's about the same, but they may be more difficult to deal with than we in East Africa, you just need to understand that you have encountered, just run, you must run to the northwest, but don't worry too much, as long as you don't reach the edge of the sea, you can't meet it."

Rhodes is referring to other colonizers on the west coast of Africa, which is also a kind reminder, while the northwest direction refers to the hinterland of West Africa.

"Mr. Rhodes, thank you for the reminder, and then I will take the people directly to the northwest, so don't leave it at that!" Romrom replied in this way, and later did so, that the Kingdom of Burundi, which had once again migrated westward to the southwestern region of Niger in the previous life, changed from an East African country to a West African country.

In the last war, the Kingdom of Burundi had already been destroyed, but after its remnants gathered in the Azander Plateau, the third son of the previous king was selected to become the new king of the Kingdom of Burundi, that is, Romrom.

At the age of 16, Romrom led Burundians across the steppes of the eastern Azande plateau, plundering women and wealth, and the kingdom of Burundi flourished again.

But the good times didn't last long, and before the Kingdom of Burundi planned to enjoy it, the East Africans came again, and Romrom, who had experienced the destruction of the country, knew that the Kingdom of Burundi was not the opponent of the Kingdom of East Africa, so he directly negotiated with the Northern Route Army of the Kingdom of East Africa, and he could directly give up the land, but he had to give the Kingdom of Burundi time.

The Kingdom of East Africa agreed, and there was a scene of Burundians migrating from here. In addition to Burundi, the same is true of other indigenous kingdoms that have fled from the Great Lakes region to the Azander Plateau.

Therefore, the area of the Northern Route Army looks very lively, a scene of a large number of indigenous people moving, and these blacks can be regarded as following the route of their ancestors spreading throughout Africa, returning to their homeland in West Africa.

And the migration of these kingdoms will also cause huge historical changes in West Africa, such as Burundi, Rwanda, and Bughan (Uganda), all of which have become West African countries, which is indeed very interesting in Ernst's view, and I don't know what the development trajectory of these three countries will be after arriving in West Africa.
