Chapter 1151 The East Africans are attacking!

Ernst always chose the population of "better to have fewer than too many", which was not based on the ability of immigrants, but on their future loyalty.

When East Africa carried out population immigration activities, it was also the time when the German economy was not developed and the people of the Far East Empire lived in poverty. At that time, immigrants who chose East Africa were basically poor people, who were the easiest to be influenced and bribed.

At the same time, East Africa actively promoted the population integration policy, so that other ethnic groups except blacks could truly become a unified big family in East Africa, which was done more thoroughly than other immigrant countries.

In fact, it caused the East African nation to completely change. Although it still carried the banner of Germany, it was recognized by the world because East Africa had developed now. If East Africa had not developed, Germany and Austria would definitely kick East Africa out of "German nationality".

Just when Rhodes and Boll were thinking about how to further expand the company's business in the office, deafening artillery sounded on the La Plata River outside Buenos Aires.

Rhodes' train of thought was interrupted, and he said in a somewhat upset manner: "Damn, what happened outside?"

Because of engaging in overseas trade, Rhodes Company is very close to the Port of Buenos Aires, and the sound from the port direction can easily reach here.

Boer looked out the window and looked in the direction of the Port of Buenos Aires. He saw a large fleet on the river surface docked on the wide surface of the La Plata River, which made Boer suddenly realize.

He said to Rhodes: "It's East Africans! This movement must be related to East Africa."

Because he didn't sit by the window, Rhodes didn't know what happened. He asked Boer: "How can you be sure that it's East Africans? And if you don't know about this movement, you would think that East Africans are coming!"

Rhodes said this, obviously with a joking nature.

But it seemed that he thought of something, which made Rhodes unable to laugh. He said to Boer in shock: "It's not really East Africans coming!"

Why Rhodes has such an amazing idea, in fact, it is not completely illogical. He would definitely not be so crazy under normal circumstances.

However, what time is it now? Now is the time when the whole of Europe is at war. Britain, France, Russia and Germany are all involved in Europe and are unable to take care of other parts of the world.

Rhodes put himself in their shoes and thought that if East Africa took advantage of this time to expand in other parts of the world, it would not be impossible, but there would be a high probability of success.

After all, if a country of East Africa really chooses this time to launch a war against other countries, no one can really control it, unless the United States is willing to "meddle in other people's business".

And does East Africa have the motivation to annex "Argentina"? Obviously, there is. Argentina's land is quite fertile and its national strength is not strong. East Africa and Argentina are only separated by the South Atlantic Ocean, and transportation is quite convenient.

If Argentina can be swallowed up, it will undoubtedly be a great temptation. You must know that Argentina in this era is rich.

So Rhodes' malicious speculation is not entirely unreasonable. If Rhodes is the ruler of East Africa, he is willing to try Argentina's weight.

Of course, Rhodes thought too much. Although Argentina's population of 8 million is not large, it is definitely not small, and Argentines are not native Africans. The East African government will not ask for trouble.

Looking at Rhodes' pale face, not knowing what he was thinking, Secretary Boll said speechlessly: "Boss, haven't you been paying attention to the news recently?"

"What news?" Rhodes asked in a daze: "I've been busy reconciling accounts recently, so I don't have the time to care about other things."

Boll said: "The visit of the East African Navy to various countries in the Americas was reported a month ago. At that time, the East African Navy had just arrived in Mexico. I didn't expect that it has now arrived in Argentina."

Rhodes suddenly realized: "It turned out to be this matter. At that time, the newspaper only said that it was visiting America, so I ignored this news."

America is not equal to Argentina, so it is not possible to predict which countries the East African Navy may visit. The Argentine official naturally reported this news, but Rhodes didn't care about the specific content at the time, and only read the title.

After confirming that East Africa did not want to take advantage of the European war to "sneak attack" Argentina, Rhodes was relieved. He got up and went to the window with interest, looking at the vast surface of the La Plata River.

The estuary of the La Plata River is quite peculiar, because its width is more than 200 kilometers, which has caused controversy in the academic community.

Some people think that this is a bay because its area and width exceed the limits of normal rivers. Some people think that this is a part of the La Plata River. After all, the estuary of the La Plata River is full of fresh water.

The upper reaches of the La Plata River are the Parana River. The abundant precipitation in the entire southern Central America, covering Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Bolivia, converges here through the La Plata-Parana River. The water volume is very huge, so although the La Plata River estuary has a huge interface with the Atlantic Ocean, the estuary is still fresh water.

Some are similar to the Amazon River. The huge water volume of the Amazon River has led to the formation of a large freshwater area along the coast.

The East African Navy is conducting live-fire exercises on the wide river surface of the La Plata. The continuous and powerful firepower has given Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay a real shock.

Yes, East Africa chose the La Plata River as the exercise site, because it is also the sea area of ​​Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. A large-scale military exercise here can effectively deter the three countries.

"Why did the barbarians in East Africa choose to conduct live-fire exercises so close to Buenos Aires? They are really a bunch of lunatics!" Rhodes complained.

Boll: "It should be a display of strength. Now that Britain and France have been dragged to death by Germany in East Africa, their control over Argentina and other South American countries has naturally been greatly weakened. So East Africa should be like through this action, let the South American countries realize the strength of East Africa, so as to further deepen East Africa's penetration here."

Boll's guess is completely correct. If it were in the Caribbean, East Africa would not do this. After all, the United States is not dead. It is the real backyard of the United States. Although East Africa flirts with Mexico and other countries, it will not overly stimulate the United States.

When it comes to Brazil and countries further south of Brazil, East Africa naturally does not need to be as cautious as in the Caribbean. At this time, the East African Navy will naturally show East Africa's strong military strength.

In layman's terms, East Africa is threatening the southern countries of South America. The British have already left, so those who have a good eye should quickly change the dock to pay their respects.

The estuary of the La Plata River is the best display platform, which involves three countries: Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. After the visit with Argentina and Uruguay, the East African Navy will go upstream to visit Paraguay, its younger brother in South America.

Before that, Paraguay was a nail for East Africa and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in South America. Now the Austro-Hungarian Empire is unable to get out, so the visit of East Africa can make Paraguay sink deeper and deeper on the road to becoming the vanguard of East Africa.

After all, Paraguay is only a small country compared to Argentina and Brazil. Especially in recent years, with the rapid growth of Brazil and Argentina, Paraguay does not have the courage to challenge three countries at this time. Moreover, Paraguay not only has historical grudges with Argentina and Brazil, but also has territorial disputes with Bolivia.

Therefore, Paraguay has always been clinging to East Africa, especially since the South African War. East Africa is now completely different from what it used to be. The west coast of East Africa has been developed, which has rapidly increased East Africa's influence and military presence in the South Atlantic. In fact, East Africa is the most powerful country in the South Atlantic. At least it has the British Empire (India) to contain it in the Indian Ocean. Except for Brazil, East Africa can ignore most countries and colonies in the South Atlantic. In fact, Brazil's weak military strength is unlikely to have much impact on East Africa.
