【1205 Anti-Colonial War】
"The Zulu War broke out!" The cute CEO smiled slightly.
Princess Katrina Kaf, Princess Jie Ge, Zhao Qingluo, Li Tae-hee, Katherine Ye Kazelina Krimova and others didn't understand what Emperor Hua meant.
President Meng explained: "The Zulu War was a war between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom in South Africa. At the beginning, the war attracted people's attention due to several large-scale bloody conflicts, and thus became a landmark event of British colonial rule in that region. If my estimate is good, this war will end the history of Zulu as an independent country."
Princess Katrina Kaif nodded, "Yes, African natives do not have the strength to fight against industrialized countries. Not to mention Africans, even if China wants to declare war on Britain, they have the ability to fight to the mainland of China. But, Your Majesty, does this have anything to do with us?"
The cute president glared with his eyes and said firmly: "Of course it's relevant. We want to anti-colonial! From now on, there will be only one war creed in China, which is the anti-colonial war!"
Everyone was stunned. Princess Katrina Kaif immediately understood the intention of Emperor Hua and nodded happily, "This direction is good, reasonable and well-founded, which can make us stand on the commanding heights of mobilization and the moral commanding heights."
The cute CEO smiled and nodded. Princess Katrina Kaifu's praise was the greatest encouragement to him. The cute CEO attaches great importance to Princess Katrina Kaifu's views.
In world history, the European continent has been keen on expanding to all directions through force since the Roman Empire.
In fact, from that time on, it can be regarded as the beginning of the colonists.
The colonists' extreme desire for wealth!
There is an old saying: People die for money, and birds die for food. This is the most appropriate way to describe these countries.
The geographical continent of Asia and America was discovered by Columbus in order to find another route to India.
Otherwise, Mr. Columbus would not have called the people on the continent of America as Indians.
India has gems and gold and silver. Moreover, India is very close to China. For those countries, it is not far from China when it comes to India. China has something better to wait for them!
Silk, tea, ceramics, gold and silver. These are the things that countries dream of.
These two characteristics combined are enough to make them ready to move.
As a result, Africa and the Americas became colonies of these countries one after another, followed by Asia, India, the Philippines, the spice islands, and finally China.
The bloody plunder and deprivation of the colonies by Western European colonists stirred up early anti-colonial struggles among the peoples of Africa, America and Asia.
In several wars, the African people wiped out the invaders and expelled the colonists many times.
The Indians in the Americas frequently launched large-scale uprisings, and the blacks also held many armed uprisings against colonial rule.
The heroic and unyielding struggle between Indians and blacks accumulated experience and lessons for the subsequent struggles in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The anti-colonialist struggle of the Asian people is also in full swing.
Although most of these colonists' struggles ended up failing, they also severely hit the arrogance of the invaders.
Because Britain, France and Spain colonized early, if countries like China and the United States want to join the ranks of colonists, it would be too late, and the plump land has been divided up!
When it was China and the United States' turn to be powerful, they realized that the earth was so big that there was no place for them to continue colonizing.
In the original history, after World War II, those European powers were exhausted.
The United States took the opportunity to ask them to give up their colonies. In fact, this is not that Americans are highly aware of the United States. The real reason is that the United States does not want European colonial countries to recover and surpass their national strength.
Just talk about Britain, if Britain did not give up its colony, how vast would Britain's territory be? No one can beat the British, and the British themselves would control half of the earth!
Unfortunately, Britain could not withstand the threat from the United States at that time, and eventually gave up its own colony and established a federal system.
Besides, France is actually very clear-minded and is determined not to be threatened by the United States. At that time, it was excluded by the Americans.
But there was an opportunity in between that which actually made the United States support the French in continuing to colonize Vietnam. What made the American attitude turn 180 degrees?
This is definitely because of China.
Americans want to retain Vietnam, the fulcrum on the side of China.
Isn't it against colonialism?
Why do we oppose Britain but support France? Isn’t this a standard double-faced person?
Everything Americans do is for its selfish personal interests, and it is not the democracy and freedom they advocate for, saving the world.
If Americans want to save the world, they should unify the world's currency, which is the fairest for every country.
Putting the issuance of currency in public institutions like the World Bank is the fairest to the world. Of course, these are unlikely to be realized. The 19th century was a century of power. The cute president put forward the slogan of anti-colonial war, on the one hand, to seek reasonable and moral theoretical basis for his own expansion. On the other hand, because the current strength of China is not enough to compete with the great powers head-on. Although this important national policy was inadvertently thought of by Emperor Hua, it has epoch-making significance for the current situation and future of China!
"Your Majesty, the slogan of anti-colonial war is good. Even the great powers dare not openly oppose it. Whoever openly opposes it is the demon of the war, and whoever is the anti-human being!" Princess Katrina Kafu echoed.
Timothy Li also stood up and said yes. Everyone thought about it and basically understood. Li Taixi and Gege discussed privately, Katherine and Yekazelina Krimova discussed privately, and Zhao Qingluo looked at Emperor Hua with admiration, admiring Emperor Hua's wisdom.
When Zhao Qingluo saw the cute CEO, his bones were so refreshed that he felt very happy.
I began to admire myself a little.
The expansion of China has historical basis, and the Emperor Hua is now taking the route of recovery.
What is the regaining route? It is a historically well-documented part of China, a small piece of Europe and all of Asia, all of which are from China, and they all need to be regained! In addition, the Emperor of China will advocate the independence of each small country! Don’t Europeans like independence? When China becomes strong, they will support the independence of each small country!
In addition to becoming stronger and stronger, the great powers will also become weaker and weaker. In this way, China will attack the world's number one. This is the routine of the cute president. However, before putting forward the slogan of "anti-colonial war", Emperor Hua had not yet figured out how to do it. Now, his whole thinking seemed to be suddenly opened!
Although the anti-colonial war has caused this, although the interests of several major powers are a little less (including China of course), it is basically absolutely fair to every country in the world.
Because Britain, France and Spain colonized early, and when it was the United States' turn to be powerful, it discovered that the earth was so big that there was no place for them to continue colonizing.
"Your Majesty, but what does this slogan have to do with the Zulu War? Can we still have the ability to send troops to intervene?" Jie Ge Ge looked at Emperor Hua cutely.
The cute president smiled slightly, "It's related. Although our strength is not enough to send troops to the Zulu Kingdom to help them directly, we can contact their royal family through the African Statistics Bureau and help them politically and military! At least it will make the British uncomfortable!"
Princess Katrina Kaif stood up with a smile, "Yes, Your Majesty is right. These days, I have been thinking about how to fight back against the British. Now your Majesty's method is the best way. We support the Zulu Kingdom, and the change of direction is to express our opinions. We will not recognize the British's restriction orders. They are not qualified to require us to evacuate from Kyushu Island, Japan!"
Emperor Hua clenched his fists, "I never thought of obeying the British and French people. If I fear power, then China will never be able to stand among the great powers!"
In 1862, Umtonga, a brother of Sechuayo, the son of Zulu King Mpande, fled to the Udrecht area, and Sechuayo assembled a large army on the border.
According to the information provided by the Boers later, Sechuayo promised to give the farmers a piece of land along the border, as long as they could hand over his brother.
The Boers abide by the contract that had been made by Mpande in 1861 with the life of Raumtonga, which was to transfer the land to the Boers.
The southern border of this land extends from the Rock Ferry in Buffalo to the Pongola River.
The beacon on the border was placed in 1864, but after Umtonga fled from Zuluran to Natal in 1865, Sechuayo realized that he had lost his interests in the contract (because he was worried that Umtonga might take his place, just as Mpande had replaced Dinggang before, resulting in the beacon being removed and demanded from the town of Lidenburg to ced the land that had been abandoned by the Swazis.
The Zulu claimed that the Swazis were originally their own vassals and had no right to transfer the land.
In this year, a Boer commando led by Paul Kruger and Secchivayo's army exchanged fire in order to compete for territory on the Udrecht border. The Zulu regained territory north of the Pongola River.
The question arose, namely, whether the Zulu documents on the Udrecht area are legitimized. Although the proposal proposed by Vice Governor Natal in 1869 was recognized by the arbitrators and entourage of both parties, in fact, efforts to reconcile the dispute ultimately proved to be a failure.
The above is the political background of Secchivayo when his father became the absolute ruler of the Zulu Kingdom after his father died in 1873. As a ruler, Secchivayo began to actively revive the art of war founded by his uncle Shaka, and even achieved considerable success in equipping the battle group with light weapons.
He was said to have caused the uprising of the Xhosa who lived in the Transkay region and funded Sechuay himself in his competition with Transkay.
But Sechuay's rule over his own people was tyrannical.
A Norwegian missionary described Sechuayo as "a talented man, but cold-blooded, selfish, arrogant, cruel and hypocritical, worse than all his predecessors."
In 1874, the Earl of Kanafon, who had successfully prompted Canada to establish a federal government, believed that a similar plan should be implemented in South Africa.
Sir Bartel Freyri was sent to South Africa as the High Commissioner to implement the matter.
The obstacle to achieving this plan is the presence of two independent countries, the Republic of South Africa and the Kingdom of Zulu.
In the original history.
In 1875, the two most important colonies of European countries in Africa were Algeria and Cape colonies; but by 1914, all other African countries except Ethiopia and Liberia became colonies of European countries.
This transition from an "informal empire" that originally only controlled the colonies in economic terms to direct control of African colonies was actually achieved by Britain's naked plunder of these African regions that were originally under British influence.
When France, Belgium and Portugal colonized the lower Congo River, they had actually threatened Britain's deeper into tropical Africa.
The Berlin Conference from 1884 to 1885 tried to mediate the contradiction between powers. The conference proposed the criterion for determining the ownership of colonies in various countries by using "actual occupation" as the standard for determining the ownership of colonies in various countries. The adoption of this standard means that European countries will attack local tribes and people in Africa more unscrupulously in order to obtain a larger area of "actual occupation".
Britain's military occupation of Egypt in 1882 (the most direct cause was to protect the Suez Canal) also established Britain's control over the Nile region.
This further led to the British conquest of Sudan from 1896 to 1898, and the Franco-Sauda incident involving Britain and France in September 1898.
In 1899, Britain completed its full occupation of South Africa, which was the first to begin with the annexation of Cape in 1795. After invading Transvaal, the gold mining area originally ruled by the Dutch and the neighboring Free State of Orange, the British South African company responsible for South African affairs further penetrated northward and called the occupied area Rhodesia under the name of Sir Sir Sir Rhodes, a Cape richman.
Britain's victory in South Africa and East Africa prompted Sir Rhodes and British Ambassador to South Africa Alfred Milner to propose a British colonial empire "from Cape to Cairo" in Africa. They hoped to achieve this by building a railway connecting the Suez Canal to the South African mining area. But because the German colonization of Tanganyika cut British colonies in Africa in half, only the telegraph lines between the African colonies before the end of World War I were clear, and the railway could not be built.
It can be said that now is the prelude to the Europeans' conquest of Africa. In the following years, in the 1980s, the entire era will be divided up!
Emperor Hua cannot sit idly by and at least do something, and make a fuss. This is one of them. More importantly, China now has a certain industrial foundation!
