Chapter 1220 The Rhine
At this time, Ali Dinar in the city felt aggrieved! It is impossible for anyone to agree to the unreasonable demands of the East Africans. They took great courage and worked hard to fight the British. As a result, the East Africans picked peaches behind their backs and asked themselves to surrender. Where is Allah? Is Allah unfair?
While Falsheng was waiting for the reply from the Darfurians, the Darfurian senior officials in the entire city of Alfasher were also discussing countermeasures. Obviously, in the end, the Darfurians were still lucky and wanted to make peace. East Africans have a touch.
"Boom...bang..."
"Boom, bang..."
Mortars and grenades from East Africa kept heading towards Fasher City, and soon the simple city wall of Fasher was completely destroyed, and some neighborhoods were completely reduced to ruins.
Grenadiers are still used by some units of the East African Army, especially as team fire support. Of course, the main reason why they have not been completely eliminated by the East African Army is because there is no pressure.
In the past, East Africa produced grenades in large quantities because of its poor military industrial capabilities and lack of effective development of resources. Even if East Africa was rich in products, it could only be ignored.
So Ernst used grenade weapons as a weapon to bully the natives of the African continent.
The deterrence significance of the early grenade is far greater than the actual combat significance. After all, the grenade can be regarded as a "cannon", which can give a great shock to the natives. With a few rounds of the grenade, any resistance will be tenacious. Even the natives couldn't stand it.
Of course, the easy portability and disassembly of the grenade also attracted the attention of early East African soldiers. After all, East Africa did not have the transportation infrastructure as it does now.
Although East Africa's military industry and economy are not bad now, the army is still struggling, especially after investing a lot of money in armored forces, aviation forces, etc.
This has led to an extreme imbalance in the military construction of East Africa. Some troops and equipment are still at the time of the South African War, while some are at the forefront of the world.
Even so, compared to the United States, the development of the East African Army is relatively happy. Canada and Mexico next to the United States are not small countries, and there are no decent opponents around East Africa at all.
“Retreat!”
"Damn it, the firepower of the East Africans is too strong. We can't deal with it at all. The British don't have such strong firepower."
"How can we fight this battle? Run away quickly!"
"Who can save me, my legs "Suppressed."
The entire western part of Fasher City has been completely turned into a mess. No matter the soldiers or civilians, under the round of artillery fire from East Africa, they can't think of resisting, and they can't wait to grow up at this time. Eight legs to escape this scary place.
The building quality of Lord Fasher is too poor, which greatly increases the power of artillery fire in East Africa and looks quite bluffing.
Commander Falsheng held a telescope in his hand and observed the changes in Fasher City. After confirming that the enemy's morale was in disarray, he decisively ordered the troops to attack.
The East African officers and soldiers holding Mauser rifles successfully advanced into the city through the gap in Fasher City. They encountered no resistance and successfully advanced to the center of Fasher City.
At this time, Ali Dinar suddenly realized that he was ready to run away with his own people, but it was too late.
“Hand your gun and don’t kill!” The East African soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded Ali Dinar and his party.
Although the language that the East African soldiers temporarily learned from the translator was a bit weird, Ali Dinar and others chose to put down their weapons decisively.
The East Africans went too far. With this firepower, Ali Dinar dared to attack Khartoum. As a result, the East Africans did not take advantage of Britain's deep European war situation and attack the banks of the Nile River. Instead, they came to attack a little guy like themselves. This made Ali Dinar I feel very aggrieved inside.
“I want to talk to your commander!”
Although he lost the war, Ali Dinar was still very unconvinced and wanted to find out the intentions of the East African government.
“Be honest and wait until our regiment leader arrives.” said the East African soldier who was tying a rope to Ali Dinar. Although I don’t know what this high-ranking Darfurian official who speaks in bird language is talking about, there will be no problem if he is more vigilant.
Soon, Commander Falsheng came to Ali Dinar with a group of officers and translators.
“Are you the Sultan of Ali Dinar?”
“It’s me, you East Africans, why did you invade our Darfur? We haven’t offended you, have we?”
“I won’t tell you this question. After all, this is the strategy of our empire, and we are only responsible for it. The executioner. "
"Humph, what if you really catch me? You should also know that we in Darfur have offended the British, and we are also nominally a subsidiary of the British. After the British come, you will not be able to occupy this place.”
In Ali Dinar's view, as the world's most powerful country, Britain should be more fearful in East Africa.
His words caused Captain Falsheng to laugh and asked: "Hahaha... Mr. Ali Dinar, since the British are so powerful in your eyes, Then how dare you offend the British?"
Ali Dinar said: "Of course I know that the British are powerful, but the British are not at war now. That Germany...the Germans in Europe are at war! So it is natural to seize the opportunity to break away from British control."
As a radiation area of Arabism, the people of Darfur are not as ignorant as black Africans. We still know some of the news, but due to the distance, it is relatively slow for the news to reach Darfur.
This can be seen from Ali Dinar's words. He could not only know about the outbreak of World War I in Europe and the war between Britain and Germany, but also clearly distinguish the difference between Germany and East Africa.
I have to say something more here. In the early days of colonization of Africa, East Africa always regarded itself as German. At that time, the East African country had not yet formed, so the word "German" was widely circulated on the African continent.
After the establishment of the East African Kingdom, the East Africans could expand in various places under the name of the East African Kingdom. However, by this time, the term "Germany" had already penetrated into the hearts of the indigenous Africans.
What's more, the Kingdom of East Africa was just a transitional country. Later, East Africa became the Rhine Empire. Therefore, the changes in national propaganda could easily make the uninformed African natives confused about the situation. They still used the name German. This force in East Africa is the most suitable.
But in fact, Germany is the real Germany. This is repeated at this time, but it is difficult for African natives to have access to both Germany or East Africa at the same time.
The current names for East Africa abroad are also divided into two types, one is East African and the other is Rhine.
There is no doubt that the former is called according to historical inertia and continues the name of the early East African colonies or East African kingdoms, while the latter is called after the name of the current East African country.
Rhine people, just like the Far Eastern Empire called American nationals Americans, or Americans.
After all, the United States is generally regarded as an Anglo-Saxon country with the same origin as the United Kingdom, although the United States has a large number of immigrants from other countries and regions.
The term Americans makes it easy to distinguish the two, as well as Canadians and Australians.
Or maybe Germany also has this name, such as Prussians, Bavarians, and Swabians. These people are actually Germans.
So in this way, more and more countries and regions in the international community now choose to refer to the Germans of the Rhine Empire as Rhenish people.
Of course, the term East African has not disappeared from the stage of history, at least that is how the Germans like to call East Africans.
On the one hand, many people in Germany do not think that East Africa and they belong to the same nation, or that the blood of East Africa is not pure. On the other hand, this is actually a contemptuous term.
After all, Africa used to be synonymous with backwardness and barbarism in Europe. The neutral term East Africa will naturally be implicated. At least among some German people, the term East Africa is not a good term. This also reflects The arrogance of many Germans towards East Africa.
