Chapter 330 Northern Rhodesia
From an environmental point of view, Aden and Mauritius can be said to be on par. Aden itself can borrow the power of peace believers to add fire to the current situation between India and Pakistan. Mauritius can get help from French immigrants, which will help unite the old imperialists.
But it is easy to leave traces in both places. As an assistant to the British Indian Commissioner, he would inevitably be criticized for stretching his hand so far. The most important thing was to ensure the success rate. You must find someone you can trust. The colonial governor of Mauritius and Aden, Alan Wilson, only knew him from telegrams. Once he was investigated in the future, the other party would not have this friendship to help him cover up.
Wanting to have it all, but also wanting to leave no trace, Alan Wilson, standing in the telegraph room, had not yet made up his mind.
"People still have to keep some kind thoughts at all times. Maybe they will be able to help at some point." Alan Wilson opened the translation book. The destination of the telegram was Rhodesia.
Although during the Yugoslavia incident, he kept Mihajlovic's weapons clean, almost as clean as when he came into the world. He came and left naked.
But it is undeniable that he saved hundreds of thousands of lives and found a good place for Tito's opponents to settle.
How should I put it, the time difference is not too long, there is still some incense between the two parties, right?
The Yugoslav free people led by Mikhailovich eventually settled in Northern Rhodesia, which later became Zambia.
After an initial period of discomfort, these opponents of Tito gained a foothold here.
After all, this is no longer the nineteenth century, and white people cannot penetrate deep into the interior because of various infectious diseases in Africa.
When people like Mikhailovich arrived in Africa, they also received some help from Southern Rhodesia, providing medicines to adapt to the local African environment.
The power of the white people born in Rhodesia is mainly concentrated in Southern Rhodesia. Regarding the merger of Northern and Southern Rhodesia, the white people born in Southern Rhodesia also have ideas. In their eyes, Northern Rhodesia was barren and desolate and not a good place.
Of course, this is compared with Southern Rhodesia. In fact, Northern Rhodesia is not barren, but it has not been developed.
After Mihajlovic gained a foothold, he began to try to get rich through hard work. In Mihajlovic's eyes, most of the areas in Northern Rhodesia have fertile land, abundant water resources, and sparsely populated areas, making them suitable for large-scale planting of many crops. Plant crops.
Now the population of Northern Rhodesia, including the Yugoslavs, has reached one million. Among them, there are 250,000 whites of various ethnic groups in Yugoslavia, and the rest are local blacks and the colonists of the British Empire. Wherever they go, loyal The servants followed the Indian ethnic group wherever they went.
Among the non-white ethnic groups that account for three-quarters, Indians actually number only 30,000 to 40,000, less than 5%.
In a new world, the Serbs and Croats did what Tito wanted to do but did not do much.
That is to decide to coexist peacefully. In Yugoslavia, Serbs and Croats were fighting to the death for who had more and who had less, but here it was completely different.
We can no longer return to our homeland. The main ethnic group here is black, and they make up the majority of the population.
The basis for competition between several ethnic groups no longer exists, and blacks are the majority in the local area, so national conflicts have turned into racial conflicts.
Eastern Europe is different from Western Europe. Western Europe caught up with the colonial era and at least still pretended to be so when entering modern society.
Eastern Europeans, on the other hand, do not have so many moral burdens. After arriving in Northern Rhodesia, they decisively chose to join a group to stay warm.
On a hot summer day, two people were lying under a tall weeping willow by the river, chatting and observing the river with concentration. The Zambezi River can be compared with the other two major arteries of the African continent: the Nile River and the Niger River.
Like the other two large rivers, it has its own high water levels, rapids, and waterfalls.
The two are located at the junction of Northern Rhodesia and Southern Rhodesia, not far from nature's natural boundary monument, Victoria Falls. This area is close to the mountains, presenting a magnificent landscape. Those insurmountable rocks, huge stone piles, thick tree trunks that have been mercilessly mineralized by time, and inaccessible old-growth forests that have not been carved out by colonists' axes, surrounded by mountains, form an incomparable spectacular scenery. .
Mihajlovic leaned back on the couch, his body still ready for action even when he was resting. His movements were clean and neat, free and easy, showing that he was an energetic person.
More than a year has passed since we arrived in a strange land. At first, we were sent to Africa like goods. The British also asked people like Mihailovich to set the conditions for how much taxes they would pay in a few years. .
The Yugoslavs who arrived in Northern Rhodesia were not only penniless but also burdened with debts.
Even the medicines and other necessities provided by Southern Rhodesia have to be counted as money. Fortunately, the British are not too stingy in terms of quality. After a year of hard work, large tracts of farmland appeared, and people had little debt left.
The junction of North and South Rhodesia also became increasingly prosperous, and markets appeared to exchange daily necessities. Of course not here, this is Mihailovich's leisurely vacation spot.
The person next to Mikhailovich was an Englishman named William, and his calm temperament was revealed in every move. No one hesitated as to his origins; he was English.
The overly bourgeois clothes he wore showed that he was not used to traveling far away. He looked like a city employee who had wandered into the wilderness, and one might have unconsciously looked to see if he had a pen stuck above one of his ears.
He is Mihajlovic's employee and an English teacher. This is a British colony and English is the universal language. Mihajlovic cannot help but understand the local area.
While the two were chatting, a figure appeared on the path and walked quickly towards Mikhailovich, "General, we have received a telegram."
"Natovich, where did the telegram come from?" Mikhailovich was a little distracted. "Is he from the south?" The southerners he mentioned refer to the white people born in Southern Rhodesia.
"No, the telegram was sent from New Delhi. He introduced himself as Alan Wilson." Natovich replied in a straight-forward manner, "The telegram asked for a favor. After confirming receipt of the telegram, the two parties will contact each other. .”
"It seems I need to go back." Mihajlovic said to the employee and honest William next to him, "This person took the initiative to contact me, and something must have happened."
After that, Mikhailovich picked up the shotgun that was lying next to him. This is an excellent Mannley gun that uses conical bullets and has high accuracy. It can hit a wild cat nine hundred yards away. Or antelope.
For a hunter, this is the best hunting tool. After arriving in Africa, Mihajlovic often hunted, especially African antelopes. The hair on the back is cinnamon color, the hair covering the waist is as smooth as silk, crystal clear, and the hair on the abdomen is mixed with millet color. eye-like spots. Its meat is delicious and is the best ingredient for dinner.
As Alan Wilson judged, Mikhailovich still missed the old friendship, and the friendship would fade over time, but it was obviously still in its shelf life. After receiving the call back, one was in British India and the other was in Northern Rhodes. The two people in West Asia contacted each other across the Indian Ocean.
As long as it is a colony of the British Empire, there will be communities of Indian origin, at least in non-white colonies. Northern Rhodesia is certainly no exception.
Alan Wilson asked Mikhailovich to create a typographic campaign as a way to put pressure on the restless Congress party.
Mihajlovic didn't have any psychological burden. In his call back, he asked, in what name was the Indian community massacred with blood?
From the perspective of the colonial empire, Indians were the colonial auxiliary force of the British. Now that British India is about to become independent, they have no reason to continue to dominate the colonies.
The role of Indians is mainly divided into four stages. In the first stage, Indians are nothing. The British Empire treats all colonies the same. The British are the colonizers and you are the colonized. In the second stage, after all, Britain had insufficient population and needed some losers to help manage its colonies.
In the third stage, Germany is coming fiercely, and Britain and India are as close as brothers. Who said that Britain treats Indians as dogs? I eat what the dog eats, and we all work together to get through the difficulties.
It should be the fourth stage now. Since the Indians insist on making trouble, and now the owner has no food left, he can only kill the dog.
Alan Wilson said that as an extension of the British Empire, Indians did not have a very good reputation in the colonies. It was completely logical and reasonable to instigate locals to launch a bloodbath against the Indian community.
"Contact Badrich, I want to talk to the Croatians." Mihajlovic already had a rough plan in mind and decided to help Alan Wilson.
But as far as this matter is concerned, Mikhailovich felt that there was still a way to eat two fishes and find a way to let the black people bloodbath the Indian community. Ustasha and Chetnik then took action to bring the murderer to justice. . It would be better to bury the Negro and the Indian together.
On this issue, whether it is the Serbian Chetnik or the Croatian Ustasha, they are both experts in war. Only the two companies can achieve their goals by joining forces.
The leaders of the two paramilitary forces returned to their old wartime business, ethnic cleansing. Plans were carefully made to make it look like blacks and Indians were killing each other.
"We don't need to do it ourselves," Badridge said. "When the Indian community is under siege, we can just launch rescue operations. If Indians get the news, they should be more capable than black people, right?"
"How do I know?" Mihajlovic said with a cold face, "Think about how to deal with the public opinion from the outside world?"
"To the outside world, it is said that it is the local black people who are against India as an accomplice of the colonizers. To the surviving Indians, it is said that the black people are concerned about their property." Badridge clapped his hands and said, "Is there any problem with this?"
