African Entrepreneurship Record
Chapter 1221 One step behind
In recent years, a new trend has begun to emerge in East Africa, that is, more and more East Africans consider themselves Rhine people.
Except for the older people who are proud of being Germans, most young people are unwilling to flatter Germany, and many young people in East Africa have already admitted that East Africa can now be a new nation. After all, ethnic integration cannot be faked.
Moreover, the word Rhine is not opposed to Germany. The two can be regarded as a set and subset relationship, just like the Germans called the Germans in the Austro-Hungarian Empire Austrians.
In short, the development history of East Africa's external names is quite complicated and tortuous, but this has changed with the development of East African countries.
Ali Dinar, a Darfur man, can understand the twists and turns of East Africa and Germany. He is considered to be relatively knowledgeable among the native Africans, although he is not an African black, but an African Arab white.
Many of the Darfuri leaders are Arabs. After all, many of the Darfuri leaders were once from the Ottoman Empire. This is the result of the Ottoman Empire's expansion into the Darfur region, similar to the Aryans who once conquered India.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since I was defeated by you East Africans, I have nothing to say. But if you can't solve the British, then you East Africans will also be in big trouble." Ali Dinar said.
The staff officer of the Hera Regiment said: "Sultan, I think you may be confused and can't see the situation clearly. Not to mention that you have offended the British, isn't it funny to use the British as a tiger skin?"
"Besides, you can see the international situation clearly and take the opportunity to oppose the British, so how can you not think that our East African practices are exactly the same as your previous practices."
"Finally, we in East Africa are also a world power, but we are not afraid of Britain. It's no big deal to offend the British. After all, we fought a war with Britain in South Africa more than 20 years ago. Now we in East Africa are even stronger. What do you say?"
Ali Dinar said dejectedly: "After all, this world is a world of the survival of the fittest. Whatever you say is right."
Ali Dinar has also heard about the South African War. More than 20 years ago, East Africans were not afraid of the British, let alone today, more than 20 years later.
In recent years, East Africa has become more and more powerful in the international community. Especially for countries or regions bordering East Africa, such as Darfur, it is impossible not to understand the strength of East Africa in the international community. Even among many powers, East Africa can be ranked in the forefront.
It’s just that East Africa did not attach importance to northward expansion in the past, which made the Darfurians ignore East Africa as a potential enemy. You must know that decades ago, East Africa did not have conflicts with Darfur, and many of the most livable places in the south were robbed.
However, these problems were selectively forgotten by Darfur because of the arrival of the British.
"Okay, lock them up first." Captain Farsen interrupted at this time: "Next, we will wait for the British to arrive in El Fasher!"
What Ali Dinar said still makes sense. The biggest problem for East Africa to send troops to Darfur was not the Darfurians from the beginning, but the British. As long as the British were dealt with, there would be no problem in Darfur.
...
Two days later.
British Lieutenant Johnson stationed in Khartoum was marching towards El Fasher with a very large army.
This army has more than 2,000 people. Although the gap with East Africa is quite large, the British are very confident that they can beat the Darfurians with these people.
Among the more than 2,000 people, there are only more than 100 real British people, followed by more than 300 Indians, and most of the others are Sudanese and Egyptians.
In fact, if it were not for the difficulties in transportation and material supply, the British would definitely be willing to bring more soldiers this time.
"I feel that there are suddenly fewer bedbugs on the road these two days. We have hardly encountered any decent resistance from the Darfurians. Did Ali Dinar change his tactics?" Johnson said to his deputy Charlie.
The British army called the small troops sent by Ali Dinar to harass the British army's march bedbugs, and their harassment made the British army very annoyed.
After all, there are few places to stay between Khartoum and Darfur, and most of the time they have to cross the Sahara Desert. A little more pause will also cause great difficulties for the British army's supply.
In the British mind, it is better to end the war as soon as possible. After all, going to Darfur to fight is a complete loss-making business, but the British have to send troops to Darfur.
After all, even the Darfurians cannot be dealt with, which can easily set a bad example for some tribes and forces in the Sudan region.
After all, Ali Dinar and the Darfurians led by him are not much different from other local forces in Sudan, and are even inferior to many local Sudanese forces in the eastern region.
After all, the population and foreign exchanges in the eastern region are not comparable to those in Darfur. The population naturally needs no further explanation. With the Nile River as the bottom, the eastern population has always been the most concentrated region in Sudan.
And foreign exchanges are even more important. Foreign exchanges mean business. Business itself can drive economic development and promote the progress of civilization.
Apart from other things, it is much easier for Sudanese in the east to get some guns and ammunition than in Darfur. They can even get some artillery through Egypt, East Africa, the Red Sea and other regions.
And these are obviously what Darfur has, which is one of the reasons why the British don't think much of Darfur. Except for the center of the Sahara Desert, I'm afraid there is no place more remote than Darfur in the whole of Africa.
As for the South German Kingdom or Libya bordering Darfur, there are almost no people in the two regions bordering Darfur, which can be regarded as no-man's land. The population of the South German Kingdom is concentrated in the southwest, while that of Libya is concentrated in the northern Mediterranean coast.
East Africa is quite prosperous, but the north of East Africa bordering Darfur is also one of the worst regions in East Africa in terms of economy and population.
So, if Darfur's military strength is not strong enough, it may really become a no-man's land.
However, Darfur's military strength is only slightly stronger than the natives of East Africa. It is estimated that the British attacked Darfur with the idea of doing it at their convenience. It is like a penny on the road. Although it is not very valuable, it does not prevent passers-by from putting it in their pockets. Anyway, it is not a loss, and a penny is also money. Such a penny accumulated is also a fortune.
Charlie: "I guess they were scared by us a few days ago. After all, we brought two Maxims. With such a powerful weapon, even if the Darfurians sent out their entire army, they would just be delivering food to us."
Johnson also agreed with Charlie's statement. His troops were equipped with rifles. Although the equipment of the Egyptians and Sudanese was a little worse, it was much better than the old-fashioned fire sticks in the hands of the Darfurians. With two Maxim machine guns, there were not many forces in the whole Sudan that could stop them.
So Johnson didn't think much about it. He asked, "How long will it take to reach Fasher?"
Charlie: "According to the map, the distance from Groddes stronghold to Fasher is about 23 kilometers. We should be able to reach Fasher in less than 10 kilometers along the trade road to the northwest."
"Ten kilometers of walking will take only three or four hours. We will be able to arrive before the evening of today."
After listening to Charlie's analysis, Johnson was refreshed and said, "It's finally over! God knows how painful the march has been these days."
Marching in the Sahara Desert is obviously a hard job, so the Governor of Khartoum forced this job on Johnson, otherwise Johnson would not want to run here to eat sand.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the British army arrived in Fasher as expected, but they didn't expect that their words would come true.
"It's really over, damn it, who can tell me why the East African flag was raised in Fasher!" Johnson roared at the East African flag and military flag fluttering in the wind on the east gate of Fasher, and even the hard work along the way was swept away because of this change.
