Chapter 224 King Falls

April 13, 1870.

The weather is sunny and the temperature is moderate.

The mighty Zambezi River rushes along the cliffs like thousands of horses into the depths of the bottomless canyon. The huge water mist forms a beautiful rainbow bridge under the refraction of the sun.

The sound of the waterfall is like thunder, and the sound of the huge water flow can be heard for several kilometers on both sides of the shore. When you are on the shore, you are even more impressed by this natural miraculous workmanship.

I stood on a boulder overlooking the entire waterfall group, and for the first time I felt insignificant. Even though I had been in the military for more than 20 years before my life and experienced countless life and death choices, I had never felt like this before.

The war only brought me numbness, or rather my job was my only means of survival.

This wonder of nature had a huge impact on my numb mind and washed away the smoke-stained mind.

——Excerpt from "The Diary of Felix, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Kingdom of East Africa"

Felix's diary is a rare and detailed written historical material of East Africa in later generations. From Felix's perspective, it shows how East Africa expanded and dominated the African region.

It can be regarded as a rare written evidence of colonial crimes in East Africa. Later East African officials did not deny this, and Ernst only treated it coldly.

Once someone wants to understand the history of East Africa, they cannot avoid Felix's diary. However, the copyright of Felix's diary is in the hands of the royal family, and the price is set very high. Ordinary people still learn more about this history through marketing accounts.

And apart from Felix's diary, there is really no better way. The East African government is keen to destroy evidence, and this has been the case since the establishment of the colony.

A large number of Arab historical sites and cultural cities have been demolished in East Africa, so it is very difficult to find evidence of colonization in East Africa.

As for the overall cultural level of East Africa at that time, few people, or in other words, were unable to keep a diary every day like Felix.

In addition to being able to write, you also have to solve the problem of paper and pen, which are generally only accessible to government personnel. However, government personnel in East Africa have trouble even writing an official document, let alone writing a diary.

Therefore, Felix's diary is even more important. In addition, Felix holds a high position in East Africa and is blessed by a famous general, so this diary is very popular.

Ernst's attitude towards colonial crimes was that he confessed but rarely mentioned it. In the era of the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony, East Africa was criticized by many so-called "progressive" double standards.

However, the East African government still goes its own way. Once the descendants of the victims make complaints, the East African government will reject them because the East African government does not recognize their identity. It is also true that Nige really wants to fish in troubled waters. His ancestors have lived in West Africa for generations. , but pretended to be descendants of the original East African indigenous people who fled to West Africa from East Africa.

As a result, nothing was gained. The East African government only admitted that it exported 200,000 indigenous people, and most of them were in the Sultanate of Zanzibar. The Sultanate of Zanzibar is a country of "brothers" in East Africa.

The Sultanate of Zanzibar has long been raised as a pig by East Africa, and its life is quite good, so naturally it has no thoughts of death.

With the rapid development of the 21st century, the development of various countries has slowly entered a bottleneck. In particular, the various "conversion of black and white" movements launched by black Americans have attempted to morally kidnap the world. Instead, East Africa, the former colonial empire, has slowly been cleansed. Bai's posture.

At least compared to the United States, there is no judgment because there are no black people in East Africa and there is no so-called racial discrimination.

Ernst only engaged in colonization and forced black people to work, but he did not formulate any weird laws and regulations like the United States. Compared with the colonists of his generation, East Africa was very generous.

Because there is no targeted genocide, and even if there is, it is not done by East Africans themselves. It is just African natives killing each other. Even in the 21st century, West Africa is still like this, with serious tribal conflicts.

Entering the 21st century, Ernst, a controversial historical figure, has also been recognized by more and more ordinary people in countries outside East Africa. Especially in the United States and France, the various social conditions caused by the blackening have made people in the German region Gathering even more under the banner of East Africa.

History is a cycle. A typical king like Ernst who had a profound impact on the world will still be praised. Under the heroic view of history, any monarch of an empire will be beautified by future generations regardless of his sins.

King Constantine Falls.

Commander-in-chief of the East African Army, Felix, as the proposer of the "Pocket" plan, was also the executor of this plan.

At this moment, he was riding a black horse and watched as several East African Army soldiers set up an East African flag on a high ground on the north side of King Constantine Falls.

The East African army officially entered the north bank of the Zambezi River, and the "Pocket" plan was completely completed. This "pocket" plan lasted five and a half months and occupied the entire territory of Zambia and part of the Republic of Congo.

More than 800,000 square kilometers of new land were added to East Africa. Most of the indigenous kingdoms and tribes became East African vassals and signed a lot of land transfer treaties that they did not understand. Under the coercion of the East African Army with a gun to their head, they were confused and confused. Pressed his own black handprint.

King Constantine Falls was the famous Victoria Falls in Africa in its previous life, and was known to the indigenous people as Mosi Otunya Falls.

In fact, Victoria Falls was discovered by David Livingstone in 1855 and named after Queen Victoria of England.

But just like the Great Lakes, things that arrive in East Africa will naturally have German names.

The origin of the name King Constantine Falls starts from an hour ago.

After the "pocket" plan was completed, Felix inspected from the north to near the Zambia River, starting from the Yeke Kingdom and ending at the Mosi Otunya Falls among the indigenous people.

"Commander-in-Chief!" the East African soldiers saluted Felix.

Felix looked at the waterfalls in front of him and asked the people around him: "Well, what is the name of this waterfall?"

"Report to the commander, we don't know either, but the local indigenous people call this place Mosiotunya."

"Mosiotunya? No, this will also be part of East Africa in the future, so we still need to change it to a German name."

"Commander, don't know what name to use?"

"Since this is the land of East Africa, let's use His Majesty's name. From now on, this place will be called Prince Constantine Falls."

However, Felix's mind changed and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Sooner or later, a kingdom would be established in East Africa, so it would be inappropriate to call him a prince.

"No, it's better to call it King Constantine Falls, so that this waterfall can be worthy of the status of our East African Kingdom."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

This is the origin of the name of King Constantine Falls, which was decided in a few words by Felix. For convenience, it is also called King Falls.
