Chapter 141 Three districts and one change

  After acquiring all the land along the Great Lakes region, these new lands need to be divided into new administrative districts to facilitate management and statistical data.

  Including the former northern part of Kenya, it is still temporarily without administrative divisions.

  This time, due to the expansion of the Northwest War in the town of Omorat, the land west of Lake Turkana also fell into the hands of East Africa.

  Before, the East African colonies had no strength on the west bank of Lake Turkana, and Lake Turkana itself was a natural barrier that hindered the expansion of East Africa.

  And at that time, the south was separated by the Buganda Kingdom and many tribes, and it was difficult for Western Kenya to develop westward.

  Now, the coast of the Great Lakes has fallen into the hands of the East African colonies, and the East African colonies have taken advantage of the trend to take the land from the west of Lake Turkana all the way to Lake Friedrich (Lake Albert).

  Because many climates in the west of Lake Turkana are similar to those in northern Kenya, they are relatively dry and lack water, which is not suitable for agricultural planting.

  So the arid land west of Lake Turkana and northern Kenya are regarded as the same area. In fact, this place also belonged to northern Kenya in the previous life, but at this time, East Africa occupied this place later than the east.

  In this area, there are many seasonal rivers, which can be seen as a unique feature of the local area.

  In addition, only the Omo River Basin on the northern shore of Lake Turkana in the northern part of the East African colony is suitable for large-scale agricultural planting. Ernst simply set up the entire northern part of Kenya and the Omo River Basin as the Northern District.

  The capital is set in the town of Omorat. Due to the arid climate in the north, many places are pastoral areas, so the population will definitely not be too large, so it doesn't matter if the area is larger.

  In this way, an administrative region with the largest colonial area in East Africa was born. The northern region reached more than 300,000 square kilometers, bordering Somalia, South Sudan, and Ethiopia in the previous life.

  In the first half of this year, when East Africa annexed the Omo River Basin, because the Abyssinian Empire was being beaten up by the British, the East African colonies easily occupied this place.

  In the colonial era, many countries did not have detailed boundaries, but spheres of influence, such as those tribes in northern East Africa, which are theoretically similar to the vassals of the major countries in North Africa.

  So its suzerain has reason to protect these tribes. The Omo River Basin is a bunch of black tribes, some of which are subject to the Abyssinian Empire and some are independent.

  The East African colonies took advantage of the fact that the Abyssinian Empire was busy dealing with the British and ignored their younger brothers, so they took this land.

  After the war between the Abyssinian Empire and the United Kingdom ended, the Abyssinian Empire has now triggered a political crisis. The country is in chaos, and all forces are busy vying for the throne, so they don't care about the life and death of the younger brothers in the south.

After the town of Omorat was established, East Africa drove all the indigenous people in this region to the west. In addition, the indigenous people in northern Kenya were packaged and sent to the south by East Africa for development. At present, the pure black indigenous forces in northern East Africa are only left in Somalia. Aboriginal.

  The Sahara Desert is a racial dividing line. The north of the desert includes the desert, and most of them are white, while the south of the Sahara and the edge of the desert are black.

  Many blacks in Somalia are influenced by Arab culture, so they are no different from Arabs in terms of living habits, which is why they can adapt to the desert climate.

  Other areas, such as northern Ethiopia, are mainly white and mixed-race. Now East Africa has driven out all the blacks in southern Ethiopia. Without the injection of fresh blood, Ethiopia will only become whiter and whiter in the future.

  Because Ethiopians thought they were tanned white people in previous lives, and in the future East Africa will definitely eradicate the pure black forces around it, Ethiopia will definitely only be able to deal with other races other than black people in the future.

  In addition, the skin color of northern Ethiopia is light, and in a few hundred years, it may become similar to the skin color of Indians.

  Ernst has never believed that Indians are white, and their aborigines are more brown-black, that is, the continuous invasion of northern whites slowly makes Indians look a little like whites.

  This is similar to Ethiopians, but Ethiopia is close to blacks after all, so it retains more black genetic characteristics.

   Ernst cut off Ethiopia's future contact with pure blacks, so that the blackening of Northeast North Africa can be avoided.

  Maintaining the numerical advantage of the white race in the northeastern region of North Africa will ensure that the northern part of East Africa will not be blackened in the future.

The population of the newly established Northern District is mainly concentrated in the Omo River Basin in the northwest. Especially during the war, a large number of immigrants entered the Omo River Basin. The Omo River Basin is dominated by planting, while other places in the Northern District are mainly livestock. industry development.

  Generally speaking, animal husbandry can support a relatively small number of people, so there are not many people in the grazing areas planned in the northern region.

The development of animal husbandry in some areas is actually forced and helpless. For example, in areas where planting is the main industry, if it is not developed, the aquatic plants will be more luxuriant, and the areas where animal husbandry is developed generally have a climate that is not suitable for the development of planting. .

  In addition to the newly established Northern District, near the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria), Ernst followed his previous experience in setting up the Great Lakes District and Western Kenya District.

   Two administrative districts were established in the new occupied area, which happened to be the area of ​​the original four southern countries and the northern four countries.

  However, the area of ​​the four southern countries is relatively small, so it has to extend a little to the north, just to be bounded by Lake Friedrich (Lake Albert).

  The area where the four southern countries are located and the land between the southern shores of Lake Frederick (Lake Albert) set up the West Great Lakes Region, and the capital was set up in Bujumbura on the northern shore of Lake Solon (Lake Tanganyika).

  The region of the four northern countries set up the North Great Lakes region, including many lands in the northwest.

  The capital is located in Kampala, an excellent harbor in the north of the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria).

  The original Great Lakes region (Mwanza), it is not appropriate to call it this name now. Before that, East Africa only had part of the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria).

  In addition, this area was developed early, so it doesn't matter if it is called the Great Lakes District. Now the entire Great Lakes (Lake Victoria) has become an inland lake in East Africa.

  The Great Lakes District cannot be used to specifically refer to the large area centered on Mwanza, so in order to distinguish it, the original Great Lakes District was renamed the East Great Lakes District, except for the name, everything else remains the same.

   In the future, we will talk about the Great Lakes region, which is a geographical concept, referring to the Great Lakes (Lake Victoria) and all the land along the coast.

  A total of three new districts have been established this time, namely the Northern District, the North Great Lakes District, and the West Great Lakes District. The former Great Lakes District was renamed the East Great Lakes District.
