  Chapter 224 King Falls

   April 13, 1870.

  The weather is sunny and the temperature is moderate.

  The turbulent and majestic Zambezi River runs along the cliff like thousands of horses and rushes straight into the depths of the bottomless canyon. The huge water mist is refracted by the sun, forming a beautiful rainbow bridge.

  The sound of the waterfall is like thunder, and the sound of huge water impact can be heard for several kilometers on both sides of the bank.

  I stood on a boulder overlooking the entire waterfall group, and felt my insignificance for the first time. Even in my military career of more than 20 years, I have experienced countless life and death choices, and I have never felt like this.

  The war brought me nothing but numbness, or rather my job, my only means of subsistence.

   And this wonder of nature gave a huge shock to my numb mind and washed away my mind tainted by gunpowder smoke.

  —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 for East Africa in later generations. From Felix's perspective, it shows how East Africa expanded and ruled in the African region.

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

  But, if someone wants to understand the history of East Africa, they can’t 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 know a lot about this history through marketing accounts.

   Apart from Felix's diary, there is really no better way. The East African government is keen to destroy evidence, and it has been like this 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 in East Africa at that time, few people, or in other words, had no ability to keep a diary every day like Felix.

  In addition to being able to write, you also need to solve the problem of paper and pens, which are generally only accessible to government personnel, and government personnel in East Africa struggle to write official documents, let alone keep them in diaries.

  So Felix's diary is even more important. In addition, Felix has 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 is a confession, but he rarely mentions it. In the era of three countries competing for hegemony, East Africa was criticized by many so-called "progressive" double standards.

However, the East African government is still going its own way. Once the descendants of the victims file a complaint, the East African government will reject it, because the East African government does not recognize their identity, and there is indeed Nige who really wants to fish in troubled waters. His ancestors have lived in West Africa for generations. , but pretended to be the descendants of the original East African aborigines who fled to West Africa.

   As a result, they couldn’t get any bullshit. The East African government only admitted that it had exported 200,000 indigenous people, and most of them were in the Sultanate of Zanzibar, which is a brotherly country in East Africa.

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

With the rapid development of the 21st century, the development of various countries has gradually entered a bottleneck, especially the various "reversing black and white" movements launched by black Americans, trying to kidnap the world morally, but slowly cleansing the former colonial empire of East Africa. White posture.

  At least compared with the United States, the judgment is superior, because there are no blacks 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 order such weird laws and regulations as the United States. Compared with the contemporary colonists, East Africa can be described as lenient.

  Because there is no targeted genocide, even if there is, it is not done by East Africa. It belongs to African indigenous people killing each other. Even in the 21st century, West Africa is still the same, 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 other than East Africa, especially in the United States and France. Because of the various social conditions caused by blackening, people in the German region Even more gathered under the flag of East Africa.

  History is a reincarnation. Ernst, a typical king who has had a profound impact on the world, will still be praised. From the perspective of heroic history, any emperor of an empire will be beautified by future generations no matter what sins he has.

  …

  King Constantine Waterfall.

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

  At this moment, he was riding a black steed, watching several East African Army soldiers set up an East African flag on a high ground on the north side of King Constantine Waterfall.

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

The newly added land in East Africa is more than 800,000 square kilometers. Most of the indigenous kingdoms and tribes have become dependent countries in East Africa. They have signed a lot of land transfer treaties that they don’t understand. Pressed his own black handprint.

  King Constantine Falls is exactly the famous Victoria Falls in Africa in the previous life, which is called Mosi Otunia Falls by the aborigines.

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

  But like the Great Lakes, things in East Africa will naturally use German names.

  The origin of the name Constantine Waterfall started from an hour ago.

  …

  After the "pocket" project was completed, Felix inspected from the north to the vicinity of the Zambia River. The starting point was in the Yeke Kingdom, and the end point was the Mosi Otunia Waterfall, which is known by the aboriginal population.

   "Commander-in-Chief!" The East African soldier saluted Felix.

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

   "Report to the commander, we don't know, but the local aborigines call this place Mosi Otunia."

   "Mosi Otunia? Not good, this place will also be the territory of East Africa in the future, and I still have to change it to a German name."

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

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

  However, Felix turned his head and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Sooner or later, East Africa would establish a kingdom, and it would be inappropriate to call it a prince.

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

   "Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

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