Chapter 1176: Rhine Empire's Eastern Expedition
Burungan Sultanate.
To the northwest is the British colony of Sarawak, and to the north is the British North Baltic Protectorate. At this moment, the capital of the Bulungan Sultanate, Tanjung (Xerox), is facing a bloody storm.
Two regiments from East Africa entered the Burungan Sultanate, which shows the importance East Africa attaches to the local area.
Among them, an infantry regiment from northwest East Africa is stationed in Tanjung, the capital of the Bulungan Sultanate, and another infantry regiment from the Northwest Military Region is stationed in Tarakan Island.
The reason for this arrangement is naturally that the resources on Tarakan Island are more important. Oil resources have been discovered on Tarakan Island, and its population and industry are relatively prominent.
Compared with what East Africa did in the southern region of East Kalimantan, the East African Army in the Burungan Sultanate can be said to be full of evil.
Tanjung Xerox, known as Tanjong in East Africa.
At this time, Tanjong City had turned into a hell on earth. Bodies that had not been disposed of in time could still be seen on the streets. The bright red blood and dust were mixed with the rain and seeped into the soil.
Fires can be seen in many places in the city, and regular gunshots are heard from outside the city. Walking northeast along the main streets of the city, you can see the source of the gunfire.
In an open space, a dozen East African soldiers were standing in a row, pointing their guns forward.
"put!"
"Bang……"
A row of prisoners wearing religious clothes fell to the ground. Then the East African executioners dragged the corpses aside in an orderly manner, wrapped them in shrouds, and threw them on a wooden shelf aside.
The soldiers of the Fifth Infantry Regiment continued to escort the next batch of "criminals" for execution. These were recalcitrant elements arrested in the name of "terrorist organizations" in East Africa.
While the East Africans were carrying out inhumane extermination activities outside the city, the East African soldiers in Tanjung City were also not idle.
A squad of East African soldiers sets explosives inside a mosque.
"Squad leader, preparations are complete!"
"Rumble..."
Under the violent explosion, accompanied by the painful wails of green believers in the city, the largest mosque in Tanjong was instantly reduced to ruins and reduced to a pile of rubble.
"Allah, please punish these abominable infidels!" A Tanjong citizen cursed in his heart, but he did not have the courage to stand up and resist.
And those who had the courage were now being shot by East African soldiers at the execution grounds on the outskirts of the city.
Facing the devout believers, Davis, an East African officer, showed no expression.
"Gather everyone together and post notices. All infidels who dare to confront us in East Africa will have a bad end. They have only two choices, either give up their faith or die..."
The Dutch in Tanjong witnessed the brutal behavior of East Africans in East Kalimantan. In the past few days, the frightened Dutch did not dare to go out.
As for the royal family and nobles of the Bulungan Sultanate, they were all arrested by the East African army with iron-blooded methods. Their fate can be imagined.
Speaking of these nobles of the Burungan Sultanate, they were also unlucky. Their final fate was the same in the previous life. However, the person who sent them to their death was the Indonesian government at that time. East Africa could only send them on their way in advance. Under the East African ruling order , there is no need for the existence of these original ruling classes, there is no ticket for them in the new era, and East Africa does not even bother to negotiate with them.
"Sir Davis, your methods are too extreme!" Van Golle, a Dutch businessman who had been watching the whole process coldly, came to Captain Davis and said.
"Mr. Van Golle, we have given them a choice, but in the end they chose Allah instead of God. Faced with such die-hard pagans, do you Dutch have any ideas?" Davis said directly. Religious righteousness came to silence Van Golle.
After all, in European countries, Christianity means political correctness, while green religion means political incorrectness. It can be said that what East Africa is doing is completely the daily overseas life of European countries in this era.
"Sir Davis, even so, it is still a living life, even if it is for humanitarian reasons..."
Davis interrupted Van Golle's spellcasting and said: "If they want to survive, they just need to obey our arrangements. After all, we in East Africa also want to spread civilization to this land, and we don't want to stain the entire Tongali with blood. Mandan area.”
"It's a pity that some people can't figure it out in their minds. Under the confusion of the pagans, they chose to fight against civilization. Naturally, they will be buried with the originally backward and barbaric order."
Van Gaulle cursed in his heart, the shamelessness of the East Africans, considering what you did, you dared to claim to be civilized. This kind of behavior is not fundamentally different from the massacre of Indians in the United States.
If he were not a European, Van Goll would probably compare East Africa at this time to the infamous Crusades in history.
After all, there is no difference between East Africa's current operations in East Kalimantan and the Crusades, and East Kalimantan is just east of East Africa itself.
Of course, the East African government is obviously more "evil" than Van Golle thought. This East African version of the "Crusades" is actually not limited to East Kalimantan.
This military operation was under the command of the East African government and was simultaneously launched in East African overseas territories such as Lanfang Overseas Province, East Kalimantan, Mindanao, New Guinea, and the Gulf of Tonkin.
After all, now that countries are focusing their attention on the European battlefield, East Africa can secretly eradicate all unstable factors in overseas colonies.
Including the original religious forces in the colonies, princes, nobles, tribes and kingdoms, they are all targets of the East African government. According to Ernst, it is "leaving land but not people".
After all, relying on the Far East Empire, East Africa is impossible to lack obedient immigrants, and the Far East immigrants will not have religious conflicts with East Africa like the original natives.
The East African version of the Crusades can be said to have set off a huge wave in the entire Nanyang region. After all, there are many green religious populations in Nanyang, such as the British North Kalimantan colony, other colonies in the Dutch East Indies, and both sides of the Strait of Malacca.
Although other colonists are not good stuff, it is the first time to see a hell king like East Africa who does not give a way to live.
Of course, facing the beastly behavior of East Africa. They are completely powerless, even if they ask other colonists for help, they can't do it. Britain and France dare not offend East Africa at this time, and the "neutral" United States is not a good thing, and its actions in the Philippines are also shameful.
However, this does not prevent the American news media from using East Africa's actions in the South Pacific region to disgust East Africa. It can be said that the contradictions between the two countries during World War I have never been so sharp. After all, the United States could have monopolized these overseas markets. Now that East Africa has a competitor, it would be strange if the United States had a good attitude.
Nowadays, the mainstream vision is in Europe, and some accusations are irrelevant to East Africa, so these small actions of the United States have been recorded by East Africa.
This is the benefit of World War I, otherwise East Africa would not have made so many troubles in the colonies at this time.
Since 1915, East Africa's garrison activities in the colonies have increased significantly, and the colonial army has increased from more than 60,000 in early 1914 to the current 130,000.
Every day, various resistance movements are erupting in East Africa's overseas colonies, and the attitude of the East African government is to suppress them severely.
After the end of World War I, the culture and race of East African colonies will be fully aligned with East Africa, and East Africa's rule over overseas territories will be further consolidated, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of natives and pagans being eliminated by East Africa.
After all, if the colonists do not take advantage of the war to eradicate the root of the problem, East Africa's overseas colonies will be at risk of disintegration if the colonists wake up in the future.
In the face of East Africa's planned "extermination" activities, although the local indigenous people and other resistance elements are willing to kill the bandits, they are completely powerless to turn the tide. Facing the East African army with advanced weapons is not actually scary. What is really scary is that there are too many East African overseas troops. Among these colonies, the most populous is East Kalimantan, but the total population of East Kalimantan is only 300,000 or 400,000, and the number of troops sent by East Africa to East Kalimantan is more than 10,000. At the same time, there is also the Lan Fang Overseas Province to cooperate. The indigenous forces have no possibility of turning the tables.
