African Entrepreneurship Record

Long stretches of yellow sand flowed along the ancient trade road. On the dry ancient river bed, an Arab caravan headed into the distance under the scorching sun.

Hundreds of camels groped forward one step at a time, not looking sleepy at all, while the merchants on the camels were complaining endlessly.

"Mr. Andrelov, why don't you send this batch of weapons to Afghanistan from Russia, but instead go here to secretly deliver weapons to the Afghans? To be honest, this trade route, if it weren't for the most experienced Aimai, If Uncle Ti leads the way, I’m afraid I won’t even know the direction.”

The man known as "Andrelov" rode on the back of a camel and said to the caravan leader in proficient Russian: "Mr. Farug, this is a secret operation. You should also know that we in Russia and the United Kingdom do not Deal with it, but Britain and Russia are both world powers, so although there is a conflict, it cannot be made public, that is, I treat you as a friend, so I am telling you this, and you must not tell it."

Hearing Andrelov say that he was his friend made Farug very happy. Farug, wearing a square hat, said with a smile: "Of course I know, Mr. Andrelov, I understand everything." , we will never tell anyone about your affairs, don’t worry about our caravan, we do business in this area all year round, we pay the most attention to credibility, lying, Allah does not like it."

There was no room for Farug to have a good relationship with Andrelov, because after a few days of contact, Farug found that Andrelov respected his beliefs, which was different from those Russians in the past.

"Mr. Andrelov, your accent doesn't sound like the Russian I usually hear." Farug asked.

Hearing these words, the fledgling "Andrelov" suddenly felt nervous, but he still pretended to be calm and asked: "Mr. Farug, how did you know?"

"I often deal with you Russians and I am very familiar with the Russian language, but I am different from those Russian businessmen."

Hearing this, "Andrelov" understood what was going on in an instant, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He explained with a smile: "I am from St. Petersburg, so the accent I speak may be slightly different from the Russians in the south."

"So that's it. I know that Russia is also a huge country, so it's easy to understand that there are differences in the languages ​​​​of various regions. Just like our Arab religion, the accents of each region are very different."

Hearing this, "Andrelov" was completely relieved. It seemed that Faruk agreed with his statement, but his spoken language was indeed a St. Petersburg accent. After all, St. Petersburg was the capital of Russia at this time.

However, Faruk's words also gave "Andrelov" a warning, that is, agents in foreign countries should learn more dialects and report it to their superiors when they return to St. Petersburg, otherwise in the future, colleagues will be arrested due to accent problems. It would be bad if you find out.

Farouk didn't know that his unintentional words accidentally helped a secret service organization correct a shortcoming. However, it cannot be said that the East African Defense and Security Agency is unprofessional. After all, it was established only a few years ago. If there is no problem, then it is a problem.

Just like the British MI6 during World War II, it was a typical case of focusing on food and not on fighting. However, the level of British MI6 was not bad. Of course, it all relied on the support of its rival German colleagues. Later, when it encountered the Soviet Union, the British intelligence agency became a monkey. , and the monkey charmer is the KGB.

As a German, Ernst certainly did not want the East African intelligence services to learn from Germany, so the East African intelligence services were developing towards professionalism and institutionalization from the beginning.

Of course, when Ernst was developing the intelligence department, he also hoped that the East African intelligence department would learn from the German Army, that is, not to interfere in politics.

Although Germany is militaristic, it is actually more of a militaristic national culture. This is reflected in the comparative axis of the Germans. The army only does military things and cannot participate in government affairs, and the government cannot dictate to the army.

However, Germany's entire national system is developed around the army, so the German army does not have to conflict with the government. After all, they are all its own people. In comparison, Japan's kind is the real militarism. The following crimes are indeed highlighted everywhere. Thinking in extreme ways.

Compared with Germany, the East African army has smaller rights. Although Ernst claimed to have learned German militarism, the government would not serve the military everywhere like Germany did.

The bureaucratic group in East Africa is more like the Soviet bureaucracy, but the relationship between the military and the government is not bad. Every year, many veterans are arranged to work in the government. Especially in the early days of East Africa, a large part of the administrative staff came from the military.

If East Africa also learns from Germany, the army will have to be at least doubled. Although the number of black Africans in East Africa is definitely not as large as that in Germany, the population structure is younger, and there are so many black people as production tools, and the burden is relatively small, just like the ancient nomads in the Far East. Political power generally relies on Han people to farm the land, and just as the ethnic group is engaged in military affairs, black people also play this role. In fact, this is the case in all countries.

It’s just that East Africa has a large population that can be exploited, more so than other countries. Black people have no human rights and status in East Africa, and resistance will not work. Ernst has many shortcomings, but he is cruel. After all, being a Virgin requires sacrifice. cost.

Ernst himself often felt that black people in East Africa were easier to govern. Although they were a little stupid, they did not understand any tactics. Of course, this was mainly related to vision and had little to do with IQ.

East Africa colonized Africa for too short a period of time, and these black people were completely unable to cope with the dimension-reducing blows of the colonists two dimensions higher. After they came into contact with and learned the colonizers' thinking and methods, East Africa sent them away again, cutting off their presence in East Africa. For a chance of revenge, let’s go to other countries!

After walking for two days, "Andrelov" and his party finally arrived at a small place called Yazdan on the western border of Afghanistan, but this was not "Andrelov's" final destination.

The Sindand region in the east is the target of "Andrey Love". The Sindand Valley is one of the few good places in Afghanistan. For a country like Afghanistan, it is a good land to grow food, especially Sindand. The flat area is large.

Sindand is an important area in western Afghanistan. The most important thing is that it is very far from Kabul. The British now occupy Afghanistan in name, but they do not actually occupy most of the area, let alone the remote Sindand.

In the previous life, the Afghan religious regime had frequent activities here, so the Sindand region was very hostile to the British invader.

"Andrey Love's" mission this time is to transfuse blood to the Afghan resistance organizations through the local armed forces in Sindand and embarrass the British.

After entering Sindande, a businessman who has been doing business here all year round received "Andrei Love". This man naturally has nothing to do with East Africa, but he has business dealings with Zanzibar businessmen, so it has to be said Zanzibar merchants are very resourceful and have done business in remote areas like Afghanistan, but this is no exception. With East Africa at their back, it is difficult for Zanzibar merchants not to make a fortune. East Africa has goods, and Zanzibar merchants have channels. , both parties can be considered a win-win cooperation.

This is also the reason why Zanzibar businessmen are willing to serve as pawns in East Africa. Furthermore, Afghanistan has the same beliefs as the Zanzibar businessmen, so it makes sense morally to support the brothers in resisting the invasion. They can make money while also being able to fight with each other. As long as the local forces in Afghanistan have good relations, they will naturally be willing to do this kind of cost-effective deal.

Furthermore, East Africa has no interests in Afghanistan and will not make it difficult for the two sides to cooperate, so this matter will be easily accomplished.
