African Entrepreneurship Records Chapter 88

  Chapter 88 Conflict Escalation

   Enzera.

  Colonial border post in East Africa.

  Mainly responsible for monitoring the movement of the indigenous exiled tribes, and at the same time preventing the return of the indigenous people.

  From the current point of view, the effect of this "purge" campaign has generally met the expectations of the East African colonial government.

  The Northwest has become a mess, wars always kill people, and the colony's plan to wipe out the local indigenous population has been achieved.

   It's not that there are no indigenous tribes who want to go back to the east. The East African colonial government has set up dozens of military strongholds, large and small, on the borders with the northwest countries.

   Formed a one-way valve, only the aborigines were allowed to go out, and they were not allowed to enter.

   Enzela is one of such military strongholds.

  The northwest of the East African Colonial Defense is mainly a straight line between the southwest corner of the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria) and the northeast corner of Lake Sauron (Lake Tanganyika).

  About more than 300 kilometers, a military stronghold is set up every 20 to 30 kilometers, and patrol personnel are arranged between these strongholds to continuously inspect the border area.

  The Northwest countries, which suffered from the scourge of the Eastern Bantu tribes, began to cooperate with each other.

  Although the Eastern Bantu people caught the countries by surprise, and the domestic situation in each country was relatively turbulent, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.

  As the center of an indigenous country, it still has some strength, at least there is an army directly under the royal family.

  Even if many places are temporarily separated from the kingdom by traffic and enemies, the center still occupies the largest area.

  Facing the menacing Eastern Bantu tribes and the Northwestern countries that have been dealing with them all year round, they put aside their past hatred and prepared to join hands to suppress and clean up the barbarians.

The tribes of the Eastern Bantu also began to expand in scale with the arrival of the follow-up refugees. After all, the indigenous people who were expelled by the East African colonial government were not all large tribes with hundreds or even thousands of people, and some had dozens or even a few people. Small tribes, and some scattered natives.

  These small tribes and individuals were incorporated into the large tribes of the Eastern Bantu tribes, strengthening the strength of the Eastern Bantu tribes.

  So the scale of the war escalated. The nobles who originally lived here formed an alliance to jointly attack the Eastern Bantu tribes.

  After the Eastern Bantu tribes received population supplements, their strength increased greatly, and they were not afraid. The two sides fought in the area west of the Great Lake (Lake Victoria).

  As a result of the war, the social order of the northwest countries was disrupted. The slaves who were originally used for development and planting took advantage of the chaos to join the camps of both sides of the war, or fled into the wilderness.

  The original nobles, who wanted to fight the Eastern Bantus, naturally had to recruit a large number of slaves as cannon fodder, which further exacerbated the situation of land abandonment.

  The land is deserted, the food production is reduced, and the families who are not rich are getting worse. In order to compete for the remaining resources, the two sides are fighting more vigorously.

  Facts have proved that when the nobles of the Northwest countries get serious, they do have an advantage over the scattered tribes of the Eastern Bantus.

  As the region with the most advanced indigenous productivity in East Africa, the countries in the Northwest not only have more advanced social systems and organizational capabilities than the Eastern Bantu tribes, but also have more advanced iron forging capabilities.

The advantage of the Eastern Bantu tribes over the Northwestern countries lies in their strong destructive power. After all, as civilized countries, the Northwestern countries still have the attribute of construction, while the Eastern Bantu tribes who are still in primitive society only know how to compete for resources. .

   Fortunately, the aristocratic forces in the Northwest countries are not wasteful. Constrained by the narrow land area between the west of the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria) and the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, countries often carry out "friendly matches".

  And as a civilization of slavery, the aristocrats of the Northwest countries have inherently monopolized force and are responsible for suppressing the slaves in their respective jurisdictions.

   That is to say, these nobles are actually primitive military nobles.

  In contrast, there are no nobles among the tribes of the Eastern Bantu, and the main thing is to select the strong in the tribe as the chief.

  The tribes of the Eastern Bantu plundered the countries in the Northwest. In fact, there was nothing they could do. After being expelled from the East African colony, they lost their hunting grounds, and the animals on the grassland were their main source of food.

  In addition, they came all the way from the east, traveled long distances and had an empty stomach. In order to survive, the Eastern Bantu tribes could only live by robbing the lords of the northwest countries.

  With the advantages of iron tools and strong organizational skills, the Northwest nobles quickly gained an advantage over the Eastern Bantu tribes after uniting as one.

  The balance of victory in the war is slowly tilting towards the Northwest countries. The nobles of the Northwest countries who hate the Eastern Bantu tribes do not accept their surrender, as long as the captives are executed immediately.

  The Eastern Bantu tribes, who were at a disadvantage, saw that there was no way out for surrender, so they also laid hands on the countries in the Northwest.

  The hatred of both sides is getting fuller and fuller, and the bloodiness of the war is getting stronger and stronger. Both sides will put their opponents to death as the only goal of the war.

  The winner lives, the loser dies. There are no fancy operations, and the goal is to eliminate the last person of the opponent.

  The battle lasted for more than three months, and finally ended with the victory of the northwest countries.

  The tribes of the Eastern Bantu are naturally inexhaustible, but there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled, who are made into slaves by the countries in the Northwest to supplement the labor loss caused by the war.

  This war that is not remembered by the world has caused at least several million vendettas. The entire Northwest countries and many areas have fallen into a situation where ten rooms are empty.

   What's worse is that after the war, the corpses of both sides have not been effectively dealt with. In the past, the scale of the war was small, and wild animals could get rid of the corpses that no one cared about.

  The scale of this war, coupled with the hostility of the Northwest countries towards the Eastern Bantu tribes, resulted in a large number of corpses being exposed in the wilderness.

   Even nature has no time to decompose so many corpses, and the terrible plague began to spread in the northwest countries.

  The tragedy of the Northwest countries was reported to the government by the East African colonial soldiers on the border. In order to prevent the plague from affecting the colonies, the East African colonial government strengthened the blockade of the entire Northwest countries.

  This time even Kenya, which borders the Kingdom of Buganda, was heavily guarded.

  In the tropics, diseases are quite terrifying. Every year, many people in the East African colonies are infected. This is based on the premise that the East African colonies pay attention to hygiene.

  In order to prevent the plague from being brought into the territory of the East African colonies, the East African colonial government ordered the soldiers guarding the borders between the East African colonies and the Northwest countries not to let a single living thing in.

  Even if it is a mouse or a snake, it must be shot immediately.

  At the same time, the East African colonial government urgently ordered a large amount of disinfection and bactericidal agents from Europe, and carried out large-scale disinfection work on the borders of the East African colonies and Northwest countries.

  Under strict defense, the East African colony successfully blocked the spread of the plague to the territory of the East African colony.

  The countries in the northwest have completely become a land of ten rooms and nine empty spaces. The more south the country is, the worse it will be. On the contrary, the northern part of the Buganda Kingdom, the Kingdom of Turou and the Kingdom of Jitala have been least affected.

   I really don't understand why some people say that the protagonist kneels and licks the Qing Dynasty, Ma De, reading a book review is uncomfortable, Ernst is kneeling in front of Master Manqing as a grandson! Or support its development? The only thing in the original text that mentions Manchu officials is that Hexingen's Far East office intimidated local officials to prevent them from hindering immigration work. Some people say that this book is a "patriotic" text, yes, it is a patriotic text, what's wrong with the protagonist who hates the UK by nature? As a German, knowing that Britain will be Germany's competitor in the future, what's wrong with digging a hole for it? What's the matter even if the protagonist is a nationalist? Moreover, the protagonist also sells some coffee through normal trade means, some people can't stand it, isn't it normal to add some additives in that era? And no one would think that the Germans looked up to Japan in that era! Is there a problem with the protagonist blatantly discriminating against Japan? I recognize the water written in the article, and I will never admit that the protagonist kneels and licks. The protagonist has no direct contact with any other country except the Austro-Hungarian royal family and the Prussian royal family. You want to say that the protagonist kneels and licks the royal families of the two countries I also admit it, Ma De, said kneeling and licking Manqing, I was really mad! ! ! ! ! ! !
