Chapter 1209: The Fourth Navy in the World

The word "population garbage" obviously has a derogatory connotation. Although the words are ugly, it is a very objective description of these East African black slaves who will be processed.

For the East African government, these elderly black slaves are "garbage" that no longer has use value. Therefore, the East African government's final destination for black people is to "discard" them in the garbage dump.

The only area that can meet the positioning of this "garbage dump" is West Africa. Although the Americas can also be used as a garbage dump, after all, the Americas are other people's backyards. Without the consent of the owner, it will cause international disputes.

American countries have long since gotten rid of the colonial category. The locals will definitely not allow East Africa to use the area as a garbage dump. But West Africa is different. West Africa is only a European colony, and European countries do not care about the life and death of the colonies.

Therefore, East Africa's transportation of its own black slaves to West Africa during this period will naturally not cause any international disputes. European countries are eager to please East Africa today, and it is impossible to offend East Africa for such a trivial matter.

While Anton and Mars were talking, five or six vehicles transporting black slaves had passed by, but there were still vehicles following behind.

Mars said in surprise: "This is too much! I see that there are still more convoys behind. If we count dozens of people in one car, I am afraid that there will be at least hundreds of black people transported this time."

Anton frowned and said: "I have never seen such a scene. Although there were black slaves going to sea in Falta in the past, it was very rare. The last time was last year, there were only dozens of people. Why are there so many this time. "

After the tenth car passed, a green-painted military truck followed closely. It was obviously not a black man, but a heavily armed East African Defense Force.

This was obviously no small matter. After all, the army was dispatched, indicating that this was an armed escort.

After the military truck passed, the convoy did not disconnect, and there were cars following behind. As Anton counted silently in his heart, after an unknown amount of time, this long convoy finally came to an end.

"A total of fifty-five vehicles passed by, including five military trucks. The other fifty vehicles had black slaves in their back compartments. The number of black slaves arriving at Port Falta this time was at least a thousand, and almost all of them were It can be seen as the size of an army," Anton said.

Even though the scale of the East African automobile industry has developed to a very powerful level, it is rare to see a large fleet of more than fifty cars, which naturally attracted the attention of Falta residents.

Mars commented: "These should all be military vehicles, including the trucks used to pull black people, and the license plates are also military license plates. This is obviously what the government means."

At Falta Port, several rare sailboats docked at the dock, and a convoy of military vehicles finally arrived here.

"Battal Commander Robert, the head count has been completed. For this escort mission, the total number of escort targets is 1,800, and the actual number is 1,800." An East African soldier reported to Robert, who had been waiting at the dock for a long time.

Robert said: "Very good, then you will contact the navy and escort all these black people to the ship."

Yes, these sailing ships are the antique inventory of the East African Navy, and most of them are products of the former Zanzibar shipyard.

The reason why the East African military uses this old antique to transport black people is actually because it cannot find enough ships to carry out the mission.

In terms of civilian ships, East Africa's now prosperous trade with Europe has already caused a surge in demand for ships, and the entire world's ships are in a stage where supply exceeds demand.

The navy's own ships are not even enough. Although the East African Navy is large in scale, it now has to perform very frequent maritime missions.

After all, the huge maritime commercial ships in East Africa require the East African Navy to dispatch most of its ships for escort, and the East African Navy also needs to perform tasks in various places from time to time, including deterring some European countries by force.

With the stalemate in the European war, countries such as Britain and France have become increasingly wary of civilian ships, especially ships that have economic transactions with hostile countries. If the navy does not come forward, it will be a fatal threat.

It is worth mentioning that the total tonnage of East African naval warships has now exceeded 900,000 tons and reached 970,000 tons, which is only about 30,000 tons short of one million tons.

And this large naval fleet has actually reached the fourth position in the world, becoming the fourth largest navy in the world after Britain, Germany, and the United States.

It can be said that if the East African Navy joins the European war situation at this time, it will be enough to bring about earth-shaking changes to the European battlefield.

It is precisely because of having the fourth most powerful navy in the world that East Africa's trade with Europe has not been greatly affected.

In recent years, the number of ports in East Africa has increased a lot, but all natural seaports that can be used have basically been developed and utilized in East Africa. The Port of Falta is a typical example.

After all, the effective development of Falta Port in the previous life was a matter of the 21st century.

The increase in the number of seaports has naturally led to an increase in the number of East African shipyards, and the scale of the East African shipbuilding industry has reached a new peak.

The East African Navy has the confidence to rapidly grow into the world's fourth largest navy in just a few years.

"Batalion Commander Robert, it seems that this time the domestic black slave problem will be completely solved!" Admiral Brand said.

Robert nodded and said: "It has been nearly 20 years since the South African War. Even the youngest black people are now in their twenties, while the life expectancy of black slaves is generally only in their thirties."

"In this case, the black people we have now are actually all elderly, so the government must solve these problems in advance."

The South African War was East Africa's last chance to obtain black population. Today, most of the black people in East Africa were obtained from Angola and other newly incorporated areas in East Africa.

This also means that the black people in East Africa can no longer complete the natural replacement of the population, and the black people in East Africa are completely useless.

Robert went on to say: "With the unprecedented exploitation in recent years, the loss of blacks is worse than before. I heard that the number of black people counted this year is less than 800,000."

"You should know that the black population in East Africa was still calculated in millions a few years ago. This also shows the madness of the national canal plan."

"Although this plan has not been completely completed, the remaining work is just some finishing work, which means that we can no longer rely on blacks. We can also rely on the power of others to complete the final work without causing too much loss. Black slaves may really become a historical term in East Africa."

Brand nodded and said: "It is estimated that the government does not want these last 800,000 blacks to die of old age in their homeland. This time we received an order to escort these blacks to the Togoland colony. West Africa will be their final destination."

For the old and weak black slaves, it is still more troublesome to deal with them. After all, East Africa has never advocated "massacre" unless it encounters extreme situations such as riots.

And East Africa cannot provide these black slaves with old age. After all, old age also requires food and even medicine. After all, old age and physical weakness are also prone to diseases. If there is any plague in East Africa, East Africa will suffer a great loss.

Therefore, exiling these old, weak, sick and disabled people to West Africa is the best solution that the East African government can think of at present.

As one of the latest colonies acquired by East Africa, Togoland is just used to exile these black slaves. In the past, East Africa lacked colonies in West Africa, so it was difficult to exile black slaves and had to transfer through the Kingdom of South Germany.

The Kingdom of South Germany is a landlocked country, and even if it escorts black people, the cost is much higher. With Togoland, these black slaves can be exiled to West Africa on a large scale at a lower cost by sea.

Of course, the Togoland colony is also part of the current East African territory. The East African government naturally does not intend to turn Togoland into a black area, but will continue to use Togoland as a springboard to drive these black people to colonies of other countries.
