If the terrain of China is like a rooster, then Africa is like a fan, with the handle in the south and the fan in the north. In fact, Mauritius is an island in eastern Africa, located in the southwest of the Indian Ocean, about 800 kilometers away from Madagascar and separated from the African continent.
2,200 kilometers away, Mauritius is a volcanic island surrounded by coral reefs. The island's landforms are varied, with narrow plains along the coast and plateau mountains in the middle. There are many mountains and isolated peaks. The scenery is quite spectacular.
The total area of Mauritius is only 2,040 square kilometers, so when Li Ningyu was in Shanghai, he discussed the idea of purchasing Mauritius with the British Minister, but was rejected. But why does Li Ningyu want Mauritius so much? Because Mauritius has a subtropical maritime climate.
The year is divided into summer and winter. Summer is from November to April of the following year, with a temperature of 27°C. Winter is from May to October, a cool season, with an average temperature of 24°C. Therefore, this kind of weather is very suitable for the North Korea that Li Ningyu took.
The survival and habits of soldiers and Chinese native soldiers.
This time, Li Ningyu led a total of 2 reorganized armies, 6 field divisions, and more than 48,000 troops on the expedition to Africa. In fact, he took great risks, and the most important thing was to gain a foothold in Africa, a place full of great powers.
, and developed, and the method Li Ningyu wants to adopt is to deeply unite with Germany, because after all, the current strength of Britain and France cannot be shaken, so uniting Germany and bullying other countries is what Li Ningyu needs to use
Wang Dao, at the same time, it is necessary to thoroughly deal with the interest disputes between countries, otherwise it is likely to lead to joint suppression by several major powers.
So although there are many opportunities to go to Africa, and it will also test Li Ningyu's strength, Africa at this time obviously has more opportunities than Asia. At least in Asia, Li Ningyu cannot take the initiative to fight other countries, but in Africa he cannot
It's the same, apart from locals, there are foreigners everywhere, and the addition of Li Ningyu, a foreigner, does not affect the existing confrontation at all.
Radio is an electromagnetic wave that propagates in free space. It has a frequency band. The upper limit frequency is 300 Hz and the lower limit frequency is more. Long wave belongs to ultra-long-distance communication, medium wave and short wave are used for local communication. At this time, Li Ningyu carried a total of
100 radio equipments, 50 of which were placed in various countries along the way, mainly to allow Li Ningyu to keep abreast of the developments in each country, and also to understand the situation in the Qing Dynasty.
The rest of the radio stations were used on warships and major combat units at the army regiment level. During the month-long ocean voyage, Li Ningyu had already crossed the Indian Ocean and arrived at Port Louis in Mauritius, but at this time all
All the warships were parked 15 nautical miles away, and only the commercial fleet docked. After inspection, Li Ningyu took Duan Tong, Tie Bing and others to their first destination in Africa. After a month of
After drifting at sea, he finally found his feet on the ground again. Li Ningyu and everyone cheered, but at the same time, it also attracted the attention of the people around him, including some Chinese.
However, on the African continent, the two largest groups are Indians and blacks, and the Chinese are only a minority. When seeing the Chinese coming to Mauritius, the Chinese near the dock also gathered together, and then Li Ningyu took the initiative to get to know them.
An enthusiastic old Chinese man invited Li Ningyu to his home. Later, he got to know him and learned that his name was Uncle Gui. His ancestral home was Sichuan. His whole family was in Mauritius and he had been in Africa for 15 years.
And just after Li Ningyu introduced his identity and Duan Tong Gege's identity, Uncle Gui and the whole family immediately knelt down to the two of them, and at the same time said loudly: "The common people didn't know that it was the adults and Gege who were here. I hope you will forgive me."
!".
Seeing the old man's actions, Li Ningyu and Duan Tong helped him up together. At the same time, Tie Bing also motioned to Uncle Gui's children to get up. Then Uncle Gui told Li Ningyu an overview of the main situation in Mauritius, and a
In the afternoon, Li Xihua, who was leading the caravan, had purchased dozens of acres of land and hundreds of acres of plantations on the island through the hard currency of gold.
Arabic was originally the main language in Africa, but with the arrival of the great powers, English also became one of the main languages. But when Li Ningyu was in the military academy, Arabic was among the three languages he studied, although many of his classmates at that time
I don’t understand why Li Ningyu wanted to learn Arabic, but in the 19th century, after his expedition to Africa, Li Ningyu’s fluent Arabic gave him unlimited benefits, because many native Africans regarded this yellow-skinned Oriental
The boy, as my friend, because he speaks Arabic very fluently and very standard.
The strongest affinity in the world is communication through language. In the next few days, most of the production workers brought by Li Ningyu entered the plantations in Mauritius, and Liu Qinghui, who led the fleet, finally found people around Mauritius.
After finding an uninhabited island of about 35 square kilometers, the Far East Navy and Army began to set up camp on an uninhabited island in Africa.
However, the arrival of the Far East Fleet with dozens of large ships still alerted the surrounding forces. Then the navies of the six surrounding countries began to surround the Tongchi Island named by Li Ningyu. Then a confrontation broke out between the two sides.
However, Li Ningyu did not prepare to start a war with them immediately, but ordered to continue to lower his head and improve the originally uninhabited Tongchi Island. Among them, the two major forces in Africa surrounded the Far East Fleet and Tongchi Island at the same time, because the location of Tongchi Island was in the British-controlled
Between Mauritius and the French island of Reunion, the two countries had been negotiating for this uninhabited island, but who would have thought that the Far East Fleet would directly occupy this uninhabited island as soon as it arrived. In Mauritius, Li Ningyu received a telegram from Liu Qinghui.
For a moment, Li Ningyu didn't know whether to reward or scold him, but after thinking about it, Li Ningyu sent a top-secret telegram to Liu Qinghui. The content was to consult with Britain and France to see if it could be used.
Money is needed to buy the right to use this island. If it doesn't work, then you can insist on not leaving, but you must raise your combat readiness to level one and be ready for war at any time.
The news about Li Ningyu was passed to Liu Qinghui, and then Liu Qinghui invited the ministers from Britain and France to start a month-long negotiation on the issue of Tongchi Island. After each negotiation, Liu Qinghui would send a message to Liu Qinghui.
The two ministers had a large amount of property, so the negotiations reached a deadlock for a while. However, the two countries actually did not have much interest in this uninhabited island of only 35 square kilometers, because what they cared about most was this approximately 80,000-ton ship.
