To be precise, it is not missing arms and legs, but being chopped off directly from the elbow. This is a punishment method passed from the Congo Free State to Portuguese West Africa. Many plantation owners will do this for trivial matters.
Killing chickens to scare monkeys, of course, also means having fun.
There are more than 30,000 men and women, and they are indeed adults in the labor force. Many of them are actually only fifteen or sixteen years old. The average life span of Africans is very low, and fifteen or sixteen years old is already considered an adult.
What really made Kusai angry was that most of these 30,000 people were severely malnourished, emaciated and pale-faced. Without months of recuperation, they were unable to engage in heavy labor.
Rwanda No matter what Kusai thinks, he is leading people to receive weapons.
There are exactly one hundred boxes of Lee Enfields, ten in each box. They are wrapped in oil paper and then neatly stacked in the box. Hay is also filled in the middle of the oil paper to prevent bumps.
Rwanda couldn't wait to take out a Lee Enfield. The black barrel exuded the faint smell of gun oil, and the walnut handle had clear texture and was brushed with tung oil. The weapons produced by Nyasaland were indeed well-deserved and of excellent quality.
, precise and reliable.
"Sir -" One of Rwanda's men also held a Lee Enfield. He approached Rwanda with a low voice and stared at Kusai not far away, like a hungry wolf.
It's normal to take advantage of others. In order to successfully receive this batch of weapons, Rwanda brought more than 600 people, while Kusai's men were less than 100. In terms of numbers, Rwanda had an absolute advantage.
Rwanda shook his head slightly. Although the number of people in Kusai was small, there were two armored vehicles parked at the entrance of the camp. There were general-purpose machine guns and grenade launchers mounted with tripods on the towers around the camp. If there was to be a fight, Rwanda would not be able to fight.
Hundreds of people are really not enough to watch.
"Sir, these Lee Enfields are all old—" Another of Rwanda's men discovered something fishy and angrily complained to Rwanda.
"Old one?" Rwanda was surprised. He pulled the bolt and smelled the faint smell of gunpowder.
"Nah!" Luanda really couldn't bear it. Three people exchanged guns for one, but it was still the same one. Isn't this bullying?
So Rwanda came to Kusai angrily.
Kusai was also in a bad mood, so he wasn't very angry.
"What's wrong with the old ones? Even the old ones can be used. The really unusable ones will not be sealed at all, but will be scrapped directly. No matter how old they are, they can at least be used. Look at what you sent me.
I have to raise them for half a year before I can send them out to make money. Let’s forget it this time. If it happens again next time, our deal will be cancelled.” Kusai is still reasonable. This is the first time for everyone.
It's okay to cooperate and ambush each other. If you open the skylight and speak openly, no one is a fool.
"Hahahaha, that's interesting. I've had a pleasant cooperation. Next time you get me some universal machine guns and grenade launchers. I'll buy them with gold -" Rwanda's change of attitude was surprising. Since Kusai didn't fall out, the business is still there.
Some do.
A report on the transaction between Rwanda and Kusai was quickly reported to Eagle Castle.
Roque is still very concerned about Yaya. In name, Southern Africa did "send all Africans out of the country as gifts", but a large part of them were sent to Upper Katanga and Lower Katanga. During the World War, Southern Africa
The African soldiers in the African Expeditionary Force made huge sacrifices. Roque still took care of the families of those soldiers who were disabled or died in battle. He placed them all in Upper and Lower Katanga and asked Yaya to take good care of them.
In fact, there is no need to take special care. Just find a place to settle them, do not bully or squeeze them, give them full freedom, and give them a certain degree of protection. This is the best care.
"Tell Yaya that we can increase our support for Rwanda. Now let him give up some places and send some Umbrella mercenaries there." Roque was happy to see the result. Umbrella still has many African-American mercenaries, so he sent one
One or two thousand, go to West Africa and occupy a piece of territory. If Rwanda dares to fall out, then just kill Rwanda and find a new spokesperson.
"Just annex West Africa directly, 1 million square kilometers -" Sidney Milner was radical. West Africa used to be 1.24 million square kilometers. About ten years ago, part of the territory was ceded to Rhodesia due to the conflict with Rhodesia.
Desia now has only one million square kilometers left.
One million is not that small, and the area of Victoria is only one million.
By the way, after Philip failed to take back the rights of Bloemfontein and Cape Town, he proposed a new idea to split the larger states in southern Africa into smaller states, such as one million square meters.
Kilometers of Victoria can be split into East Victoria and West Victoria.
The state of Dias, which covers an area of 820,000 square kilometers, is divided into Dias Alta and Dias Baja.
As for Nyasaland and Rhodesia, how they are divided depends on what Rock and Stoudemire think.
This is actually good for Nyasaland and Rhodesia. If one state is divided into two states, the number of parliamentary seats will be doubled, which is more conducive to expanding influence.
However, this proposal was opposed by Orange and Cape States. The Orange Free State has a total area of approximately 180,000 square kilometers and cannot be demolished.
The total area of Cape State is not large. Even if it is split into two states, it is estimated that it will only have one or two more seats, which will not have much effect.
The Cape State of this time and space is different from the South Africa of another time and space. The South Africa of another time and space includes Orange and the Transvaal, with a total area of 1.22 million square kilometers.
The Cape State in this time and space is about the same size as it was before the outbreak of the Second Boer War. Excluding Orange and Transvaal, the total area is actually a little over 500,000 square kilometers, which is not even the size of Bechuanaland.
big.
"It makes no sense. Just like the current Kingdom of Mozambique, we can directly obtain various resources of the Kingdom of Mozambique without directly annexing the Kingdom of Mozambique. We do not need to be responsible for the welfare of the local people, nor do we need to invest in local infrastructure. The annexation of dry
Well? It’s just a total burden.” Roque did not want to annex West Africa, but it was necessary to split West Africa into several smaller countries.
Compared with Southern Africa, which has a total area of 5.5 million, the area of West Africa is indeed too large. Rock's ideal West Africa would be best split into three or four different countries, each with an area of 200,000 to 300,000 square kilometers.
It looks like this would be more conducive to controlling southern Africa.
This is the case now for the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo. The nominal total area of these two countries is more than 1.5 million square kilometers, and the total area under actual control is just over 800,000 points. All other areas are controlled by South African companies and Nyasaland companies.
It is not direct control, but control in the form of holding companies, such as Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd., South Africa Company and Nyasaland Company each occupy 40%, and the remaining part is divided among other companies.
"Then should we set up a West African company next?" Sidney Milner drew inferences. Since there is a South African company and a Nyasaland company, it seems normal to set up a West African company.
"Already have it - three percent of the shares are yours -" Roque never treats his own people badly.
"Thank you——" Sidney Milner couldn't help himself.
Don’t be too little, Winston, Neville, and Irving only account for 3%. The majority belongs to Rock and Stoudemire. The South African Company and Nyasaland Company each account for 35%. Next is the umbrella.
Ten percent of the company was taken away by Rand Bank.
When the news came back to Chimbaranga, Kusai's demands immediately changed.
gold?
No matter what gold, there is no need for gold. There is a lot of gold in southern Africa, and land is king.
What Rwanda purchased this time was a general-purpose machine gun, a grenade launcher, and fifty mortars, with a total price of more than 700,000 rand.
Based on this price, Kusai offered Rwanda 150,000 square kilometers, which is approximately the area of Kamea controlled by Rwanda.
"All the areas east of the Kuilu River? You must be crazy. There is no way I can agree to such a request. Also, such a small amount costs 700,000. This is blackmail!" Rwanda was like
It jumped up like a cat that had its butt burned. The price of 700,000 yuan was indeed a bit expensive, while the price of land was a bit low.
The total area of the area east of the Kuilu River is a little over 140,000. Kusai doesn't care about this little detail. If you lose, you will lose. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.
"Rwanda, do you think the price of universal machine guns and grenade launchers is the same as rifles? Don't be stupid, I have given you a lot of discounts, and you don't have to worry, the east of the Kwelu River still belongs to you until you feel that it is already
Have the strength to attack other areas - be serious, brother, you are rebelling. You need time to train troops, and the colonial government also needs time to mobilize troops from the mainland. You can't sleep on your report card - "Ku
Don't worry, Portuguese West Africa is the largest existing colony in the Portuguese colonial empire. The Portuguese government is unwilling to give up and is forming an expeditionary force in the country to try to quell the rebellion in Camea.
The Portuguese colonial empire was the first global empire in world history. It was also the earliest and longest-lasting colonial empire, with an area of 10.4 million square kilometers in its heyday.
The empire was now falling apart, and in 1910 Portugal implemented a parliamentary system, completely abolishing the monarchy.
Look at this time, does it look familiar?
Yes, shortly after the collapse of Portuguese East Africa, Portugal abolished the monarchy.
Now that Portuguese West Africa is beginning to collapse, I wonder what the Portuguese will do this time.
Overthrow the parliament as well and learn from the Russians?
It would be a big deal and it would lose the protection of other European countries. It is estimated that Spain will annex Portugal in a minute.
"Okay, I promise you, this is the last time. I will never give up any inch of land again." Rwanda raised a flag. This is not a good thing. People who raise flags casually will most likely be slapped in the face every minute.
Just like a certain fish head.
ps: You don’t need to vomit, I will do it for you. Official complaints are the most deadly——
