Kamea's rebellion swept through the entire northeastern Portuguese West Africa at an extremely fast speed. Within ten days, the number of rebels increased to nearly ten thousand, and they controlled a population of nearly one million.
This is because Rwanda takes the route of elite soldiers. Only those with a certain military foundation, or those who are strong and have potential can join the rebels.
It can easily expand to more than ten or two hundred thousand.
Rwanda has participated in world wars, and is different from those people who had no choice but to rise up in the past.
The combat effectiveness of the army has never been related to the number of people. In addition to strict training, it also needs advanced weapons and complete logistical support. Rwanda chose to develop in the northeastern part of Portuguese West Africa in order to open up the connection with Nyasaland.
Transportation lines, supplies can be obtained smoothly from Nyasaland.
Of course, this "supply" was not an official channel. Nyasaland never had contact with these rebels. The person who came forward to contact them was a businessman named Kusai under Yaya.
On March 1st, Kusse finally arrived in Rwanda, a small town in western Baja Katanga.
Strictly speaking, Lower Katanga is the territory of the Republic of Congo. Because of its rich resources, it is permanently leased by Nyasaland merchants together with Upper Katanga.
Pay attention to the kind that is permanent, focused, and will be tested in the future.
As was the case in the Congo Free State before, large companies in the Republic of Congo also have strong armed forces. Chimbalanga is a military town. The residents here are the families of security personnel working in nearby mines. The surrounding plantations
Naturally, it belongs to these security personnel. When Rwanda came to Chimbalanga, Chimbalanga was building a road to Kolwezi. After the road was built, Chimbalanga would be connected with Nyasa.
Orchids are connected as one.
Kusai temporarily lived in the only hotel in Chimbalanga. When Rwanda came to visit Kusai, he accidentally discovered that the assistants, security personnel, and even the maids around Kusai were all white.
Well, after the World War, more and more white people were down and out, and they were willing to do anything for money as long as they were given money.
"Fifty thousand rifles, fifty thousand pistols, two million grenades, 25 million rifle bullets, five million pistol bullets, 1,000 general machine guns, 500 grenade launchers, mortars and armored vehicles - Rwanda, these things
No problem, but I want to know, how do you pay for this?" Kusai is a young man in his 20s. He wears a black silk top hat common to bank employees, a fancy silk shirt, and a silk shirt around his neck.
Wearing a gold chain as thick as a finger, ten fingers are covered with various gemstone rings, and a watch made by Eterno is also worn on the wrist, with the dial studded with diamonds.
A proper sense of déjà vu for the nouveau riche.
"Don't you Nyasalands like the land? When I drive away the Portuguese, I will pay with the land." Rwanda was still wearing the standard military uniform from the time when the Southern African Expeditionary Force participated in the European War. There was no mark on it and there were no marks on it.
There are no decorations, and the military boots on his feet are even a bit old.
This is a bit deliberate. At the very least, you have to wear a watch and have no sense of time.
"Hahahaha, Rwanda, do you think I'm a fool? If you can't drive away the Portuguese, will I lose all my money?" Kusai disagreed. Kusai is also an expert in this kind of thing.
"I now have 10,000 people and can expand to 100,000 at any time. They are being trained in Luena. Hundreds of them have participated in the World War. As long as the news about us in Camea spreads, all the people in the world who have participated in the World War will
Africans will come to West Africa to support our fight. Portugal has less than 30,000 people in West Africa, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. Do you think I can drive away the Portuguese?" Rwanda is confident that after arriving in Europe, Rwanda
Only then did Anda know what the Portuguese's status was in Europe.
If the British and French were ruling Portuguese West Africa, then Rwanda would be more conservative.
Forget about Portugal, it is a small country with a sparse population, so it relies on its first-mover advantage to seize overseas colonies around the world.
Countries like Portugal and Belgium rely on colonial blood transfusions, and their lives are not very smooth. As time goes by, they will naturally become slack in various ways. The most basic military strength cannot be guaranteed, just like a skyscraper built on the beach, which can fall apart at any time.
Of course, these overseas colonies can continue to be maintained if there is no external push.
Once there is external push, think about how the overseas colonies of Britain and France collapsed. Even Britain and France cannot keep their overseas colonies, but can countries like Portugal?
Just lie down and fuck me.
"Sounds good, do you want to continue?" Kusai was unmoved. Rwanda promised the future, and there were too many variables.
Apart from anything else, even if Rwanda drives the Portuguese out of West Africa, if Rwanda does not fulfill its promise by then, there will not be much that Kuse can do against Rwanda.
Not to mention cutting off logistics, if Rwanda really drives the Portuguese out of West Africa, Rwanda will have a long border and can obtain supplies from overseas at any time.
During the Second Boer War, the reason why the British were able to trap the Boers to death was because the Boers had no outlet to the sea. Otherwise, if the British wanted to conquer the Boers, another 400,000 people would probably not be enough.
Don’t say that no one will dare to do business with Rwanda by then. Let’s not talk about other countries. The Americans will definitely dare to do business, and they will do it even if they are willing to do business.
"Isn't it enough? I think the question we should discuss now is how much an acre of land costs." Rwanda believes that land has full temptation for Nyasaland.
This is true. Although Southern Africa has sent all Africans out of the country as gifts, there are not many Africans working for Southern Africa around Southern Africa.
In other words, there are countless Africans working for the Marquis of Nyasaland.
What Rwanda knows is that Kusse’s main job is to organize Africans from the Republic of Congo and the Kingdom of Congo to go to Nyasaland to work. The Nyasalans call this behavior “working”.
The so-called "organization" is actually the "slave trade" in a new form. The security personnel under Kusai are the "slave catching teams" under the former slave owners. Sending an African to work in southern Africa can create at least ten people for Kusai every year.
Rand profits, this is a long-term business.
"Of course not, Luanda, do you think I'm a fool? I'll give you so many weapons at once, and you only have 10,000 men. Why do you need so many weapons?" Kusai is definitely not stupid, otherwise he wouldn't be beaten by Yaya.
Select.
"So what do you want?" Rwanda calmed down. He was an excellent soldier, but not an excellent negotiator.
"Ten thousand rifles and pistols, fifty rounds of ammunition for each gun, one hundred thousand hand grenades, a total price of one million rand, payment in cash or in kind, don't say you have no money, those plantation owners have plenty of money."
I don’t believe in empty promises, real money is the last word.
Moreover, Kusai will not meet all the needs of Rwanda at once. The only way to catch big fish is to take a long-term view.
As for the land, it’s not that Kusse doesn’t want it, but that Rwanda is not yet qualified to bargain with Kusse. At the very least, Rwanda will have to wait until Rwanda establishes a regime that is recognized by the outside world. Only then will Rwanda be qualified to discuss with Kusse how much the land will cost.
One acre.
Damn, who are you looking down on when using "acres" as the unit? At the very least, it must be in "square kilometers".
"The plantation owner is indeed rich, but I also need money to win over more people, so the money can't be touched." Rwanda still wanted to waste money, but what he said was indeed true. Rwanda was not a teacher after all.
I don’t have the kind of talent that responds to everything at once.
Kusai smiled and said nothing. My money didn't come from the strong wind. I just took it away with a few words and thought I was a fool.
"Kuse, do you want anyone?" Rwanda must have a backup plan and resources, there are plenty of them.
"What do you mean?" Kusai was immediately interested.
"Isn't your company sending workers to southern Africa again? How about I provide you with enough workers, one person and one gun?" Rwanda has a good calculation. The white Portuguese West Africans are less than 20 years old.
Ten thousand, but there are at least five million Africans. If one person exchanges a gun, he will become a nouveau riche in an instant.
"Haha, Kusai, a rifle costs fifty rand. How long do you have to work for me to earn enough for this fifty rand?" Kusai was already tempted, but there was obviously room for bargaining.
"Then two people and one gun." Rwanda didn't care. There are plenty of two-legged sheep.
If you want to say that the people who are best at tricking Africans are indeed Africans.
Direct "selling people" is not done in southern Africa now. It's not that there is no need for labor, but it's that we can't afford to lose that person.
When you arrive in Rwanda, you have no worries.
It can only be said that people have different hearts and minds. Some people will provide as much help as they can when they meet their compatriots overseas.
Some people live mainly by cheating their compatriots, and the fellow villagers burst into tears when they see them?
It is normal to have injuries all over your body.
"Three!" the lion of Kusai said loudly. If three people exchanged one gun, ten thousand rifles would be equivalent to thirty thousand people.
That’s it!
"Deal -" Rwanda obviously didn't care. There were loopholes in the deal, and he didn't say it had to be an adult workforce.
"It must be an adult workforce, regardless of gender." Kusai immediately plugged the loophole.
"Okay!" Rwanda gritted his teeth and admitted. He had to lower his head under the eaves. Rwanda could only get help from Kusai now.
After the conditions were negotiated, the transaction was carried out quickly. Three days later, Rwanda came with the first batch of 3,000 people to trade.
Kusai has also made preparations. A thousand rifles are actually not much, and a hundred or so boxes cannot be filled in a warehouse.
However, these people brought by Rwanda made Kusai very dissatisfied.
It is indeed an adult workforce, but many of them are missing arms and legs, so they are obviously "defective products."
