The speed of human migration is quite fast, and East Africa is only accelerating this process, provided that there is a sufficient population for East Africa to mobilize, which happens to be unimaginable to Henry Buckley, so Henry Buckley proposed the hypothesis of a north-south trending river.

In the case that he did not know the population of the East African Kingdom, he referred to the speed of immigration in the Cape Town colony, so he concluded that the population of the East African Kingdom would not be too large, after all, the East African Kingdom was established less than two years ago, even if it was pushed forward, plus the colonial period was only a few years, in such a short period of time, the population of East Africa would be very good at most hundreds of thousands.

In this respect, Henry Buckley could not imagine and comprehend the enormous help of the national system for immigrants, who had been operating at a loss for so many years, importing people from Europe and the Far East into East Africa at any cost.

This completely government-led migration strategy is also unique in the history of the Western world, of course, the East African migration can not be said to be unique, such as the Far East, which has this tradition from ancient times to the present, typical of which are the Hongwu migration in the early Ming Dynasty, and the lake filled Sichuan in the early Qing Dynasty...... The difference is that East Africa is a sea migration, and the Far East is a land migration.

The speed of immigration in the United States is also terrifying, but that is based on the unique superior conditions of the United States, and the United States is currently a typical small government, and things like immigration are completely driven by private capital.

As for whether East Africa can raise tens of thousands of troops by relying on hundreds of thousands of people, it is entirely possible, most of the immigrants are single adult men, born with excellent soldiers, coupled with the consistent conscription ability of the German regional countries, this is not a difficult task for the East African Kingdom.

Henry Barkley: "In any case, the presence of the Germans in South Africa is a bad thing for us, and they are in the north, and they will hinder our future expansion into the north. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, shall we stop the Kingdom of East Africa?" The subordinate proposed.

Henry Barkley: "Stop? How to stop it? Is there a war with the kingdom of East Africa? ”

"It's not impossible."

"Hmph, stupid!" Henry Barkley scolded: "What do you think the Germans can quickly gain a foothold in Africa and expand into South Africa? It's force. I ask you, if the Cape Town colonies wanted to destroy the Transvaal, could it be as easy as the Germans? ”

This question stopped his subordinates.

Henry Buckley continued: "There must be many professional soldiers who have retired from Prussia among the Germans in the Kingdom of East Africa, otherwise they would not have been able to form a regular army similar to Prussia, if we are invincible in the world in terms of navy, then Prussia is now the first in the world in terms of army, and the Kingdom of East Africa must also have many soldiers who have retired from various states in Germany, and their army should be completely rebuilt in Africa in imitation of the German regional army." ”

Even Henry Buckley suspected that all this was secretly led by Prussia, which had unified Germany and became a member of the club of the world's top powers, and how could Germany, as a world power, not be tempted to own large colonies.

Henry Barkley continued to wonder when the Germans of the Kingdom of East Africa began to colonize Africa, after Wilhelm I and Bismarck became the new leaders of the country!

"The kingdom of East Africa did not appear out of thin air, but it appeared as a colony at the same time as Wilhelm I and Bismarck...... came to power."

"Your Excellency the Governor! Do you mean to say that the kingdom of East Africa is a pawn planted in Africa by Wilhelm I and Bismarck several years ago? ”

"It's not impossible! Now looking back, Prussia's unification of Germany is inseparable from Bismarck's advice at every step, and Germany has no colonies, which does not match the current German identity, and the East African Kingdom was founded by the Hohenzollern family, are these all coincidences? It would be terrible if the Kingdom of East Africa was really a pawn that Bismarck had planted in Africa years ago. ”

Henry Buckley's speculation was agreed by his subordinates: "Your Excellency the Governor, I think it is also the case, the cost of colonization is very high, especially in a colony like East Africa that has formed a large-scale army, and if they want to maintain this military scale, in addition to the existence of gold mines, they can only rely on the big countries to support them, and at present, Africa has not heard of any big gold mines, so the establishment of the Kingdom of East Africa should be inseparable from Prussia." ”

Henry Barkley: "It seems that Wilhelm I and Bismarck are playing a big game of chess, from the beginning of their rise to power, they have set the course of Prussia's development, and step by step to realize, and the Kingdom of East Africa is an important step in this big game, just imagine, if the Kingdom of East Africa is really Prussia's stand-in in Africa, plus Austria-Hungary, then the whole of Germany can spread from Europe to the African continent, and it is even possible to cut off the trade route between the East and the West." ”

After thinking about it in great fear, Henry Barkley was not calm: "We must contact London and let them test Germany, and if the truth is really as we just suspected, it will be terrible." ”

Henry Buckley was no longer concerned with the East African kingdom, believing that the East African kingdom was just a pawn in Bismarck's hand, and that he should punch Prussia as a chess player.

While Henry Buckley and his men were discussing the relationship between the Kingdom of East Africa and Prussia, Johnson crossed the Orange River and headed for Cape Town.

He was to bring the news of the annexation of Grigaland to the Governor as soon as possible, and the annexation of Grigualand to Cape Town was one of Henry Buckley's major achievements as Governor General of South Africa.

Henry Buckley has always regarded the integration of South Africa and the inclusion of several Boer republics in the Cape Town colony as an important goal of his tenure, and the Republic of Grigaland was the first step in this goal, but now the Transvaal Republic is gone, and Grigaland has been swallowed up by Cape Town and hacked by the Kingdom of East Africa.

Henry Buckley's mood can be imagined, and coupled with the unspeakable relationship between the Kingdom of East Africa and Prussia, Henry Buckley had reason to believe that this was a precursor to Germany's crowding out of the power of the British Empire on the African continent.

Ten days later, Johnson finally arrived in Cape Town, where he described the situation to Henry Buckley, who was even darker.

Henry Buckley: "This is absolutely a provocation to our British Empire, and I will report it to London at once, and demand that Prussia renounce this provocation and withdraw from Gregualand and other places, and compensate us for our losses." ”

This time Henry Barkley was really angry, Griguarana was one of his political achievements, and the result was that the German barbarians were lost, when did the officials of the British Empire suffer such grievances.

The Republic of Grigaland was part of the colony of Cape Town, and that was the territory of the British, and the loss of territory had never happened in the history of England.

Therefore, Henry Buckley would never allow this kind of thing to happen in his own hands, but given that the Kingdom of East Africa had the support of the Germans behind it and its military strength, this was not something that the Cape Town colony could solve, so Henry Barkley planned to let London deal with this matter directly.
