The war has changed many things. In the past, the Congo Free State was a paradise for white people and a hell for Africans. It is still unclear what the future will be like. At least there will be no humanitarian tragedies like before.
The most perfect situation is that the Congo Free State is divided into two, and whites and Africans live in separate territories without interfering with each other.
However, this situation is unlikely to happen. Banda strongly demands that the white people leave the Congo Free State and compensate the colonial government for the losses caused to the Congo Free State over the years.
Isaac Pansy hopes that white people and Africans can join hands to build a new Republic of Congo, where everyone can live a happy life.
The ideal is good, but the reality is cruel. The negotiations fell into a stalemate on the first day. Neither Isaac Pansy nor Banda wanted to compromise.
"Banda has no ability to manage a country at all. I even suspect that he does not know what he really wants. The current Republic of Congo was built by us. We built railways, invested in plantations, and looked for mines. Without us, Despite their efforts, people like Banda are still living in a tribe like a cowshed, sleeping with sheep. It is estimated that they cannot even understand the concept of country." Isaac Pansy spoke eloquently, and the negotiations during the day made no progress. , Feng Xun hosted a banquet for Isaac Pansy at his home, hoping to understand Isaac Pansy's bottom line.
This is also the consensus of many white people. They do not think that colonizing Africa is an evil act. Instead, they believe that white people's colonization has brought the glory of civilization to the colonies, and the natives of the colonies should be grateful.
Feng Xun just smiled and said nothing. This topic could not be discussed. White people had indeed brought some changes to Africa, but these changes were not what Africans wanted. Africans did not want those so-called "advanced technologies" and just wanted to return to Africa. Returning to the carefree life before, that is the life that Africans yearn for. : :
"I admit that the former Congo Free State did not respect these Africans enough. Now we are aware of this problem. In the future, we will try our best to ensure the survival rights of Africans. The Congo Free State cannot continue to be in chaos and restore peace one day earlier. We can settle down one day earlier. A chaotic Congo Free State is also a huge threat to neighboring countries and regions." Isaac Pansy avoided the important and ignored the trivial. In the past, white people not only had "not enough respect" for Africans, they simply The evil deeds are too numerous to write down.
"Mr. Pansy, if you really want to restore peace as soon as possible, then you must give up some unrealistic illusions. The Africans in the Congo Free State have shown with actions that they will never compromise, and you must make appropriate concessions." Feng Xun participated in the entire process. During the day's negotiations, it can only be said that Isaac Pansy was too naive. Even Feng Xun, an "outsider", could see the attitude of Africans, but Isaac Pansy did not want to face reality yet.
Today's rebellion in the Congo Free State is entirely caused by the Belgians.
In terms of numbers, the Africans in the Congo Free State have the upper hand, while the white population in the Congo Free State is only over 10,000, which is simply unable to compete with the nearly 10 million Africans.
To put it bluntly, if it were Feng Xun, Feng Xun would not negotiate with the Republic of Congo at all. Now the white-controlled areas of the Congo Free State only have a few strongholds at the sea entrance, and the vast inland areas are controlled by rebels.
District, the rebels did not even need to attack, they only needed to besiege, and they could trap the whites entrenched in Leopoldville and Boma to death.
"Mr. Sheriff, this involves the interests of all of us, so we cannot give in." Isaac Pansy will definitely not give in now. About 100,000 white people died during the rebellion, and there is no way to resolve the hatred, that is, in the Republic of Congo.
He also faced threats from the Belgian government, so Isaac Pansy wanted to end the war as soon as possible. Mobile version::
Feng Xun didn't waste any time and hurriedly finished his meal and sent Isaac Pansy back to his residence. He was woken up by his men again in the middle of the night.
"That bastard Banda tricked the waiter into the room on the pretext of cleaning up the room and tried to commit violence. The waiter shouted for help. Our people came quickly, so that bastard Banda didn't succeed."
Feng Xun had a headache. He also knew that Africans were unreliable, but he didn't expect them to be so unreliable. If this kind of thing happened in Nyasaland, Banda would be jailed for this kind of behavior.
In fact, he is going to jail now. Feng Xun met Banda in the solitary room of the Northern Division barracks. Like other thin and dry Africans, Banda has a strong and muscular body and weighs more than 200 kilograms. This kind of body type is very common among Africans.
The middle is rare.
"Do you have anything to explain?" Feng Xun took the initiative to break the silence.
"That was just a joke. I wanted to play a game with that lady, but I didn't expect his reaction to be so violent." Banda has the potential to become a politician, and he can tell such nonsense without changing his face.
Not jumping really requires a lot of mental quality.
During this rebellion in the Congo Free State, many women in the interior areas became victims of the war. No one knows their current situation. No one knows whether they are dead or alive. But what is certain is that Banda, as the leader of the rebels,
, there is certainly no shortage of white women around.
It is a very amazing fact that rich Africans should also like Africans.
The reality is that most wealthy Africans like white people. I don’t know how much they hate their skin color. They even dislike themselves.
"Mr. Banda, you are in trouble now. According to the laws of Southern Africa, you will be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of more than one year and less than three years." Feng Xun himself is a policeman and is relatively familiar with these legal provisions.
This is an attempt, so it is not less than one year but not more than three years. If it is a fait accompli, then it is not less than three years but not more than seven years. In serious cases, it can even lead to the death penalty.
In a normal trial, crimes involving this kind of behavior will basically be dealt with to the fullest, so let alone three years without losing money, the average life expectancy these days is only 20 or 30 years old.
This is really not an exaggeration. Until the 21st century, the average life expectancy in African countries was 35 years old.
"Bukavu is not a territory of southern Africa yet, right?" Banda is not stupid, but this kind of cleverness is even more annoying.
"You should try to find a way to solve it. Bukavu is indeed not southern Africa, so the laws of southern Africa do not apply in Bukavu. However, you were caught directly by the patrol team of the Northern Division. I have to remind you,
The consequences are more serious. There are two ways. One is to actively compensate the victims. After paying a deposit of at least 10,000 rand, you can get limited freedom. The other is one that I don’t need to introduce." Feng Xun refused to give Banda
If you have the opportunity to mess around, tell the result directly.
"Ten thousand? This is too expensive." Banda actually bargained.
"Okay, just pretend I've never been here." Feng Xun didn't force him. The deposit was to prevent criminals from escaping, so it was at least 10,000.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Feng, I'm willing to pay the deposit." Banda put away his little tricks and considered himself unlucky.
"We must also actively compensate the victims." Feng Xun is not worried about Banda's ability to pay. Banda is also the leader of the rebels and comes from a tribal chief's family, so he still has some wealth.
"I didn't do anything to her at all," Banda was still mumbling, and then he saw Feng Xun's disdainful eyes.
"Okay, I will compensate her for the loss." Banda immediately gave in and was much easier to talk to than during the day's negotiation.
Feng Xun offered a price of 1,000 rand on behalf of the waiter, and Banda quickly accepted it, paying in gold. Then all the service staff at the temporary residence where Banda lived were replaced by men.
This seems more dangerous.
The negotiations continued the next day, and Isaac Pansy and Banda still refused to give in to each other. Feng Xun received news that both the Republic of Congo and the rebels were preparing for war, and even Belgium had made progress in forming an expeditionary force.
The expeditionary force formed by the Belgian government finally gathered 5,000 men, and Leopold II and the Belgian government each paid half of the cost.
Just one day ago, several countries and regions surrounding the Congo Free State formally proposed to the Belgian government that if the Belgian government cannot guarantee the stability of the Congo Free State, then Britain, France, and Germany will take over the Congo Free State instead of the Belgian government.
The war in the Congo Free State has indeed had a serious impact on neighboring countries and regions. If the rebels gain something in the negotiations, it will be a great encouragement to all Africans, so Isaac Pansy is not unwilling to give in.
, but dare not give in.
"It's okay if there is a truce. We will cease the war according to the current actual control area. Leopoldville and Boma belong to your Republic of Congo. All we need is the inland wilderness." Banda thought beautifully and profitably.
The combined area of Opodeville and Boma is estimated to be only one to two hundred square kilometers, while the total area of the Congo Free State exceeds 2 million square kilometers.
"Asshole, I heard you were arrested last night, how was it in prison?" Before Isaac Pansy could speak, one of Isaac Pansy's followers finally couldn't help it.
"You bastard, what are you going to say?" Banda also had a bad temper and immediately retorted.
"Hmph," the entourage named Pulitzer sneered, and suddenly took out a Ruger pistol produced in Nyasaland from his arms, pointed it directly at Banda and pulled the trigger.
Bah bah bah bah
Immediately there was the sound of dense footsteps, and then the door was kicked open, and the soldiers of the Northern Rhodesian Division who had been waiting nearby swarmed in.
When Pulitzer pulled out his gun, Feng Xun was also shocked. According to regulations, neither whites nor Africans were allowed to carry weapons at the negotiation site. There was someone specifically responsible for checking when entering the conference room.
It is obvious that these regulations were not strictly enforced, otherwise Pulitzer would not have had the opportunity to bring the gun into the conference room.
"How the hell did you bring the gun in?" Feng Xun was really curious.
On the floor next to him, Banda was convulsing violently, and blood was spreading outwards along Banda's body. He was definitely hopeless.
