Chapter 133 Northwest Immigration Work
The front is advancing quickly, and the Kingdom of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala are right in front of us.
Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala faced great pressure from the East African colonies and finally suppressed the East Bantu people. Now they have new enemies to face.
Unlike the Kingdom of Karawi and the Kingdom of Burundi, Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala did not border the East African colonies before, so they basically did not know about East Africa.
But the enemy who can make the entire country of Burundi flee must be a ruthless character, and it will also be a headache to face the new invaders, the Kingdom of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Igala.
After all, compared with the Kingdom of Burundi and the Kingdom of Karawi, the Kingdom of Rwanda and Igala are not much better. The previous impact of the East Bantu people on the four southern countries was disastrous.
Now the princes and ministers of the two countries are very entangled, whether it is better to fight or to escape. Fighting may not necessarily lead to victory, and they are reluctant to part with their own possessions when escaping.
If it was before the invasion of the East Bantu people, the two countries would definitely have the confidence to fight a war with East Africa. Now looking at the state of the country, whether they can assemble a decent army is a question.
Soon, the two countries no longer have to be entangled. The refugees from Burundi and the Kingdom of Karawi helped the two countries make their choice.
Although this wave of refugees is nothing compared to the Eastern Bantu invasion, the two countries are no longer as strong as before.
Moreover, despite the influx of refugees from Burundi and Karawi, rumors have been spread all the way. The East African colonial army has been described as devils, and they eat people without adding salt. One of them is more terrifying than a hundred East Bantu people. (Of course, most of the indigenous people don't know how to count at all, that's what it means).
As for the people of Rwanda and Igala Kingdom, do they believe it? If a person says this, he must be spreading rumors. With so many people fleeing from the southeast, they must not be out of their minds. Everyone in the East African colonies doesn’t know about it, but everyone in the East Bantu knows them!
More powerful than the Eastern Bantu people! The people of the two countries who were suffering from the war took all their belongings and fled north together with the refugees from Burundi and Karawi without waiting for news from the central government.
The people of the country have all run away, and even though they are still resisting, the kingdom’s top officials are also planning to run away and summon all available forces to nourish the north.
Compared to the East African colonies, the indigenous people are still willing to deal with other indigenous peoples. Anyway, if the East Bantu people can do it, so can I. The two countries plan to go north and reopen.
Of course, the top leaders of the two countries are not stupid and will not go to the four northern countries to find trouble. They just plan to use the opportunity to develop in northwest Africa (in the direction of Congo and Central Africa).
As for why we don’t go directly to the west, the main reason is that the mountains and forests in the west are difficult to travel through, so it is better to take the road with the northern countries (plateau grassland).
The reason for choosing to rebuild the country in the northwest is because these indigenous people came to East Africa from West Africa (black Africans originated in West Africa). Although the indigenous people did not have written words to record their origins, they relied on oral tradition. According to myths and legends, we probably know that our ancestors came from the northwest.
National migration is very normal for this low-development primary civilization (refer to the changes in the capital of the Shang Dynasty). It was originally just a slash-and-burn cultivation, and at most it would be a matter of finding a new place for development.
……
"Has everyone boarded the boat?" Werner Yori, captain of the East African Lake Force, asked.
“Captain, we are all here. Except for our own people, there are a total of 127 immigrants on board for this trip, and the supplies to be transported to the front line are almost ready.” Hanks Fisher replied.
"Well, get ready to go!" Werner Jori said. While the war was raging on the front lines, the East African colonies were also accelerating the pace of immigration.
The East African Laihu troops also joined the task of transporting immigrants and supplies. The Mwanza shipyard worked overtime to build ships and increase the transport capacity of the Laihu troops.
In addition to waterways, East Africa has also opened up inland immigration transportation routes. Traveling inland is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so military supplies and other supplies that are eager to be transported to the front line are mainly transported by the Neihu troops.
The first group of immigrants heading to the northwest set out with Jarman's troops. They used simple wheelbarrows to push grain and brought rainproof cloths with them.
The whole journey takes exactly about a month to reach Burundi and Karawi, which can take as early as twenty-eight days and as late as more than thirty days. If there is a waterway in Mwanza, it can take as little as twenty-three days. arrive.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to rely solely on walking. The East African colonies scraped together a large number of livestock and vehicles to transport immigrants and supplies.
At the same time, villages and cities along the way are used as strongholds to facilitate immigrants and troops in sections, and prepare rations and drinking water, which greatly saves time.
Especially in the Central District and Upper Binhai District, with dense villages and a large population, and the early development of animal husbandry, a large amount of transportation capacity can be temporarily lent to serve immigrants.
At present, the number of immigrants arriving in Hong Kong every day is about 3,000 (it fluctuates, some months have more immigrants, and some months have less immigrants). This is the effect of the recent superposition of German immigrants and Paraguayan immigrants.
About 1,800 of them were sent to the newly occupied area in northwest Bushi, about 900 were sent to Western Kenya, and the remaining more than 100 were sent to Omorat (Omo River Basin) .
The first batch of immigrants arrived in Burundi and the Karawi region on May 3, and it is already June (war preparations are in early April and the war will start in May).
In nearly a month, more than 50,000 people have been resettled in the East African colonies like Burundi and Karawi. Fortunately, the East African colonies are now food-producing areas, and with the support of the Hechingen Consortium, it can be done in a short time Supplying so many immigrants.
Now that the war has been going on for more than a month, the East African army is about to rush into Igala and Rwanda (the army marches faster than the immigrants, so the army and the immigrants set off at the same time, but in the later stage the army was faster).
Sufficient immigrants ensure the development of newly occupied areas. After all, the indigenous countries in the northwest have got rid of hunting life and rely on primitive agriculture to survive, so the new immigrants only need to accept the indigenous land.
The work of immigrants is mainly to redistribute and modernize indigenous lands, and the development conditions are definitely better than those in the original East African colonial start-up stage.
After all, only the Sultanate of Zanzibar had some plantations along the coast at that time (the East African colonies had not yet annexed the coastal lands of the Zanzibar Sultanate at that time), and all the land had to be developed by itself.
Immigration to the northwest can be said to directly pick up ready-made land. Of course, new immigrants also have their own difficulties, that is, the immigration route is more than a thousand kilometers long. For those who drifted from the Far East, Europe and South America, It is a big challenge for immigrants coming from across the ocean.
Fortunately, the colonial government of East Africa arranged many service points along the route, otherwise this journey would have been absolutely miserable.
