Insufficient domestic mineral resources, looking for suitable raw material origin from the outside has become the only way to maintain the industrial development of Han Dynasty.
The Congo has fertile land, complete mineral resources, and the most abundant copper resources with 600 million tons, ranking fourth in the world. It has about 60 million tons of high-quality coal resources and 190 million carats of diamonds. As for iron, chromium, zinc, and manganese, The reserves of metal minerals such as aluminum and aluminum are more than 1 million tons, which can fully support the development of large domestic industries in Han.
The Congo is an underrated virgin. In 1816, the British Navy sent Colonel Duquet to lead a well-equipped expedition to explore the inland along the Congo River. Due to the rapid rivers and unsuitable weather, the expedition was all killed.
In 1874, British explorer Stanley, a journalist, organized a large expedition consisting of 342 people. Despite the blocking of the Chinese troops in the Congo, he entered the northern Congo to explore. As a result, he was encountered by the locals near Bemba one month later. The black indigenous attack died, and the remaining expedition members were rescued by the Han Chinese troops who checked the situation after five days of persistence in Bumba. However, because the black indigenous people smeared poison on the bows and arrows used, most of the injured expedition members were fleeing the respect. He died successively, and fewer than fifty explorers survived.
Stanley's expedition was a civilian adventure. After the expedition's huge failure, not only the gold master behind the expedition was full of resentment towards the dead Stanley, but the colonial officials who led the British-African colonial plan also thought that there was no The economic benefits are not very optimistic about Han ’s occupation of the Congo.
The Congo region was preemptively occupied by the Han country. Stanley, a pioneer in exploring the Congolese land, unfortunately died in the conflict with the indigenous people. Belgian King Leopold II completely lost the possibility of occupying the Congo region as a colony. Leopold II could only use his long-sleeved diplomatic skills to work between European powers, hoping to obtain a colony from other regions.
Excluding most of the competing nations' hands to the Congo, the Han government established a preliminary basis of rule in the Congo. First, Huang Naichang served as the director of the African Colonial Division under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and secondly sent four battalion IDF soldiers, two Another company of foreign battalions of the battalion was stationed in the Congo, Ebolova, Kismayo, and Mtwara in Cameroon. Finally, a small number of refugees were transported by ocean-going vessels to enrich the Han country ’s colonial stronghold in the Congo. .
In Li Mingyuan's order to Huang Naishang, the Congo was built as a core colony. Therefore, after receiving the first batch of refugees from the Fujian Province, they hurriedly rested for four days. Huang Naishang and Xue Yizhong took a hundred and fifty Ten soldiers of the National Defense Forces, 120 foreign legionnaire soldiers, 200 refugees, 4 Langs, and more than 50 black indigenous peoples. They boarded three small gunboats with a displacement of 200 tons and five steamboats. The development team headed inland along the main channel of the Congo River.
At noon on April 1, the convoy from Matadi arrived in Kinshasa. After leaving some supplies for the local garrison, the convoy left north along the Congo River, and successively passed through Mbandaka, Ben Trade points in Pakistan and other places finally arrived at their destination Kisangani on the morning of the 4th.
Kisangani is located in the middle of the main channel of the Congo River, with many nearby tributaries. It can quickly pass through waterways to the northeast, southwest, and south of the Congo, and is an important hub for controlling the Congo.
Coming down from the front row of gunboats, Huang Naishang and Xue Yizhong just ordered the soldiers to dismount axe, machete and other tool versions, and they saw a group of dark indigenous people appearing in the forest in the distance.
The sudden emergence of black indigenous people caused a commotion among the refugees. Xue Yizhong stood in the middle of the team and ordered the soldiers to maintain order vigorously. The panicked refugees slowly calmed down.
Looking back at the tense Chinese refugees, Xue Yizhong smiled lightly, "Master Huang, these fellows don't have your courage. When I came to the Congo for ten days, I was still a little scared to see black indigenous people."
"Not to blame them, the fleet was attacked twice on the road, and they may regard the people of the Ulm tribe as the indigenous people of the attack."
Huang Naishang watched that the indigenous chiefs surrounded by hundreds of black people were still a long way from the river, explaining, "Lieutenant Colonel Xue and several years of going out to sea, have met Shaoyang people and black indigenous people. They have never been from the mainland. After going out to sea, I just came into contact with the black Aborigines who are covered with black paint. It is normal for them to change their minds in a short period of time. When they stay in the country for a year and a half, they will slowly adapt. "
"Mr. Huang is right to give them some time to adapt."
Xue Yizhong nodded and was about to continue talking with Huang Naishang when he saw a soldier rushing to him.
"Sir, Zheng Er and Huang Song's wounds started to pus, and Wang Langzhong suggested that they be returned to Matadi for treatment immediately!"
"Aren't indigenous bows and arrows poisonous? How could their wounds worsen?"
One of the two injured was an old brother who followed him from Australia and emigrated to the Han country. Hearing that their wounds became pus worse, Xue Yizhong couldn't help but have a anger: "What did they do among these Langs? Since the previous year, dozens of strong brothers have been killed every year because of a little illness. Wang Langzhong and Sun Langzhong studied and treated for more than two years, but they did not see any results. You go Tell Wang Langzhong that if they can't cure Zheng Er and Huang Song this time, Xue must apply to His Royal Highness and fire their positions of quack doctors! "
"Yes!" The soldier sharpened his military salute and was stopped by Huang Naishang when he was about to turn around and leave.
"Plague in Africa is raging ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The two brothers may have been accidentally exposed to the dirt and infected after being injured. It is imperative to send the two brothers back to the base for treatment. Lieutenant Colonel Xue, you must not worry about your subordinates. If you use your spirits, not only may some of Wang Langzhong's doctors be aggrieved, but they may also delay the treatment of the two brothers. "
Dozens of soldiers die every year. Huang Naishang understands Xue Yizhong's mood and comforts "Wang Langzhong has done their best. The first group of teams that arrived in the Congo inland three years ago died of disease infection because they were unfamiliar with the local environment. Many people. In recent years, Wang Langzhong went deep into the jungle to investigate poisonous animals and plants and water sources that could cause disease. They helped the army reduce the loss of hundreds of people. We need to be more patient and give Wang Langzhong more time to find and prevent tropical diseases. Methods."
Huang Naishang was the person in charge of the Congolese colony. After his persuasion, Xue Yizhong felt that he had not been able to control his emotions just now, so he calmed down and said, "I do n’t know the difficulties of the Langs, but I lost more than thirty brothers a year, and Most of them died from an insignificant wound or minor illness, which is really not worth it. "
"His Highness has ordered the mainland to increase the supply of quinine in the Congo. All we have to do is remind soldiers and immigrants to abide by the disease prevention guidelines formulated by Lang Zhong, and minimize the number of troop reductions due to illness."
