Chapter 1076 Melo military parade(1/2)

It has been four more days since the reclamation team entered Mombasa.

Yi Zizhuo and the others stayed in this city for the time being. Before handling the household registration work of the indigenous people in the team, the reclamation team will not continue to move forward.

Using the two most useful weapons, food and money, Zhu Haoke easily broke through the hearts of these natives, and spent three days to gradually let these undisciplined refugees learn to obey the arrangements.

Moreover, in the past few days, Yi Zizhuo has not been in vain. They have to spend a whole day learning Chinese and mastering basic communication methods.

The quality of academic performance is directly linked to the treatment. If you want to eat coarse grains or delicate and delicious white bread, or drink boiled water or sweet and delicious juice drinks, it depends on your efforts and grades.

If you want to become a captain, you must know basic Chinese, otherwise you will not be a good person for a few days even if you choose it.

In this regard, the ones who learn the fastest are those black children. Children have a stronger ability to accept new things than adults. Because they are pure in mind, they are more efficient in learning. Unlike those who are not smart, they cannot learn well no matter how hard they teach.

However, Chinese is indeed the most difficult language to learn in the world, no doubt about it.

Originally, Zhu Haoke wanted to suggest to Yi Zizhuo several times, just teach English. That thing is simple, and because of the long-term colonial activities of Western powers, English is still quite widely used in Africa.

However, Yi Zizhuo disagrees. He cannot waste the export of culture in order to save trouble.

After all, Yi Zizhuo brought to Africa not only with advanced production technology, but also with the most important thing to let these black people slowly accept the civilization of China.

It is not to eliminate the native civilizations of Africa, but to moderate integration and assimilation, so that these local indigenous peoples have more choices.

Moreover, language and words are the most important carriers of a civilization. If Africans want to accept Chinese culture, they must first let them accept Chinese language and words.

Reading and writing are difficult, but after a week of training, there is no big problem with some daily language and communication.

"Why is our destination Malindi?" In the bedroom of the guesthouse, Huang Meng was asking questions about the map marked by Yi Zizhuo, "Isn't there just a incident where Chinese businessmen were attacked?"

"It's true. But now it has been occupied by the Chinese army and military control is implemented." Yi Zizhuo further explained to the small icon on the map: "You see, Malindi is only 280 kilometers away from Mombasa. Once something happens, you can wait for reinforcements to support within three days."

"So that's it!" Huang Meng then understood why Yi Zizhuo has been making friends with Zhou Liangzi these days. After the relationship, everyone will be neighbors, so naturally they have to watch over and help each other.

"Not only that, we are volunteers who aid Africa by the Kenyan government. We have the government's authorization. Before Deus fell, this power was legal and effective. Under the pressure of the international community, the Chinese army could not occupy Malindi in the end. So we became the best handover object."

Before this, Yizizhuo was also hesitating whether to choose an inland city or a coastal city.

In Africa, inland cities are easier to develop than coastal cities, but supply will be a big problem. If you choose coastal cities, development will be a big problem.

Without population, it is difficult for a city to develop.

Now China's economic environment is improving and social conditions are good, so few people are willing to immigrate. And if Yi Zizhuo wants to establish a kingdom in East Africa, it will take at least 100,000 people.

According to the original plan, the Chinese people who invested 10,000 in the first three periods were required, which was the limit that Qingzhu Chemical Group could mobilize. Then the remaining 90,000 people must be recruited locally.

Although Africa had a population of 220 million at this time, it could be scattered on 30.2 million square kilometers of land, this number of people was not enough to be stuck in the gaps.

A large East African city like Nairobi has a population of only a pitiful 240,000, which is not as good as a county-level city in a developed coastal city in China.

There are even some cities with only a poor five or six thousand people. It is really not easy for Yizizhuo to build a city with a size of 100,000 people along the coast of East Africa.

Yi Zizhuo was still waiting for Zhu Haoke to further split the refugee team and began to confiscate the weapons of these people. Whether it was a machete full of gaps or a rifle with rusted barrels, everything that could be used to kill people must be confiscated.

In order to make the outlaws among these people obey, this confiscation is paid, and a "reasonable" valuation will be made based on the collected weapons and then paid on the spot.

The junk food that is usually paid for is canned fruits or canned meat that are unsold in China. The junk food is becoming less and less popular now. However, in Africa, indigenous people like it very much, and they do not have the time to consider frequent use of junk food that can lead to obesity.

For those living in hunger, malnutrition is the biggest enemy, not fat glut.

Another popular goods, beyond Yizizhuo's expectations, were actually the kind of marching shoes in China that only the lowest-level workers would wear.

The rough workmanship and aesthetically unsatisfactory shape are useless except for being strong and durable.

But African students are obviously very fond of it, easy to wear and durable, which is enough. Compared to barefoot, marching shoes are the representative of style.

Some people are willing to exchange a US-made Garland rifle for a pair of grass-green marching shoes, which makes many Chinese Mombasa merchants who have come here overjoyed.

There are many such unsold things in the warehouse, and now there are 10,000 potential consumer groups, which makes them very happy.

Mombasa is now a peaceful scene, and everyone is full of this hope for the outside world.

But in Nairobi, the situation was completely different. After the brief ceasefire, because of the attack of the supply convoy, Halldoba used public opinion to launch a political offensive against the Deeus government.

Now, the Holy Resistance Army, supported by some Western pursers, actually replaced the cannons, officially established a military government in Meru, and reached a reconciliation with the government forces in Nanuki, intending to unite to resist Deeus's "dictatorship" and "tyranny".

In order to prove his strength and promote the righteousness of the resistance army, Holtonba held a military parade on the streets of Meru, showing the rebels' combat effectiveness to the people of Kenya.

In Kenya, the strong can be loved and supported and qualified to become government forces, and the weak can become rebels. This is the law of the jungle in Africa.

The main stand for the parade is located to the west of the downtown square, on the roof of a row of double-storey bungalows.

This is obviously a temporary modification. According to the layout of the houses, it can be seen that there was originally a row of convenience stores. However, the main stand was temporarily arranged very beautifully.

Not only is it covered with gold-painted red carpets decorated with thousands of small diamonds, but it is also surrounded by golden fences, which is quite heavy.

This is Africa, rich in gold and diamonds, but it is so poor that it can't even eat enough.

The tables and chairs placed on the main stand are also made of gold and are carved with various delicate patterns. Wu Zhiyou counted carefully and there were no less than 50 gems inlaid on the legs of a chair in the seat!

Today he was also very eye-opening. Compared with the local warlords in Africa, many domestic wealthy people are not considered personalities at all. It seems that being a warlord leader here is still very prosperous.

Under the main stand, several guards were dozing off. They were wearing the armbands of the Holtonba guards. When they saw Wu Zhiyou and Le Bohr standing together, they immediately gave way and bowed.

This movement is extremely standard and extremely skillful, which is incredibly contrasting with their lazy and lazy look just now.

Because Wu Zhiyou arrived late, a large number of people had already gathered in the main stand.

These people were all wearing general uniforms, but those who looked more pleasing and behaved a little military-oriented, were pointed white four-pointed stars, and those were the emblems of the Holy Resistance Army.

The hat badges of those guys who were covered with jewelry, shining golden and fragrant were a glowing gold bar with symbols that Wu Zhiyou couldn't understand. It is said to be the holy badge of the tribe of Holtuba and others.

In Wu Zhiyou's eyes, these indigenous warlords seemed extremely vulgar. One guy's fingers were actually covered with rings. Not only were there every finger, but every finger was also filled with it. The skin on the fingers could not be seen at all.

The various gems squeezed together were like a string of colorful candied haws, and I don’t know how he moved his fingers.

Le Bohr, standing next to Wu Zhiyou, is the only one who is unique. He is wearing an English military uniform without a erectile seal and a collar seal, and there is no military badge on his military cap.

Le Bohr is different from all the natives present. He is a top student who graduated from the University of California in the United States, majoring in economics and management. In his eyes, he is not as cunning and cruel as his father, but he has a kind of wisdom and rationality.

This is also the reason why Le Bohr was able to become friends with Wu Zhiyou. They are both fanatical and rational young people who are willing to contribute everything to their country and nation.

The other officers of the rebel army did not notice Wu Zhiyou's arrival at all. In fact, most of them were talking in a swift manner, just like they were just thinking that Wu Zhiyou did not exist.

After listening for a while, Wu Zhiyou was disappointed to find that they had no new ideas in their conversation.

Everyone has no choice but tone: kickbacks, luxury goods and money.

Wu Zhiyou hated these things very much, so he had to pick up the champagne bottles in pure gold wine placed on the table without saying a word. However, the champagne was really not satisfactory. I ran to the toilet several times, but I was not drunk at all.

It seems that this upper class in Africa is really civilized and does not even have the opportunity to drown your sorrows by drinking.

Wu Zhiyou is becoming less and less optimistic about the future of the rebels. How can such a person lead the rise of a country?

When the scheduled opening time came, the rebels in the main stand and the crowd gathered in the square were quiet. This was an important moment for the leader to speak, and noise was absolutely not allowed.

Sure enough, a powerful voice came from the radio, and he said loudly in local language: "Now I warmly welcome the military representatives to their speeches before reviewing the troops!"

Then there was a burst of extremely warm applause around, but Wu Zhiyou could instantly tell with his keen hearing that all of these applauses were pre-recorded and then played. It seemed that the work of the Rebel Propaganda Department was really professional.

Holtoba cleared his throat and read a lot of nonsense in his voice in his most serious voice as he prepared for him. The main theme was to declare that the Resistance Army fought for the people of Kenya for life, and promoted the sacred and unquestionable mission of saving the world.

God knows how these people linked the robbery and the saving of the country.

However, Wu Zhiyou knew that in Mero, those who dared to openly oppose Halldoba were buried in the soil and buried alive.

After giving the speech, Holtoba still did not leave the main stand because the phalanx of the parade troops had already walked over in a chaotic so-called "military music".

Objective evaluation. The previous phalanxes, such as the Army, Airborne, Marine Corps and Engineer Corps, can be barely seen.

At least they have put on a full military uniform, holding a unified American rifle in their hands, probably a bit like an army. Tanks are the cargo before World War II. The planes are even more biplane. Depending on the situation, they are probably agricultural aircraft that were used to spray pesticides or fertilizers.

Many equipment is obviously used second-hand goods, but compared with the armed conditions in East Africa, it is already an unprecedented event that the Holy Resistance Army can prepare the "three armies" in one go.

At least Deers doesn't have Marines.

But as these rebels approached, the officers leading the team suddenly waved their hands, and then the soldiers in the square did something that made Wu Zhiyou sweat. They all raised a row of placards, which said: "Purchase Genentech's medicines and enjoy a healthy life."

Genentech is a large pharmaceutical group in the United States. It seems that they sponsored Halldoba a lot of money and even used military parades to advertise.

Both Americans and Africans are quite talented in the field of advertising. Wu Zhiyou barely suppresses the urge to shoot at these guys. Such an army can actually compete with the Kenyan government.

Wu Zhiyou dared not consider the deeper issues, otherwise Wu Zhiyou himself might be the first to pull out his pistol and pull the trigger at the officers and soldiers who are contributing to Kenya's economic development.

Wu Zhiyou quickly turned around and continued to pour champagne bottles into his mouth.

Then, the airborne troops, Marine Corps and other phalanxes following behind also advertised the products of several American companies in a similar manner. Wu Zhiyou had to admire those who came up with this trick. Now there are at least tens of thousands of people watching, and there will be hundreds of thousands of people watching the TV broadcast.

Haha. The ratings of this ad are really not something that can be seen in Kenya and even the entire Africa.

Forget it, Wu Zhiyou decided to calm down and take a closer look at what equipment will be displayed later.

Unfortunately, Wu Zhiyou was disappointed again, whether it was military trucks, off-road vehicles or armored vehicles. All of them were at the level of the early 1930s.

Those tanks look very similar to the French Renault S-35 model in the 1930s, but the caliber of the gun is larger.

Moreover, these vehicles were hung with various advertising slogans and flags, making them look like floats for festival parades, but perhaps they just regarded the military parade as a festival parade.

Wu Zhiyou had nothing to say about this, and the naval formation that he had been looking forward to was even more desperate. Not only did he not see any carrier-based aircraft flying through the air, but he didn't even have to be installed in a car for exhibition.

This group of amateur bastards made a shoddy aircraft carrier model and let a group of crooked guys carry it with them, which read "Hopshuton Hotel, located in the northwest of Meru National Park, a great place to go for vacation and leisure."

I vaguely remember that this store seemed to be a nest in Holtuba. I don’t know when it was changed to a hotel and I was still advertising at the military parade.

This made Wu Zhiyou very angry. If he hadn't been in charge of the task, he would not have joined these rebels without a future, even if he was given the rank of general, he would not have joined the group of rebels without a future. This was simply an insult to his personality!
