When humans entered the farming era, Africa became a marginal area; especially after the revolution, as the world center moved to both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, Africa became a corner of the world; even before World War III, Africa's status did not substantially improve.

During the war, this originally desolate continent became the focus of the competition between the two superpowers.

From a post-event perspective, the importance of the African battlefield is not at all under the Pacific battlefield. The problem is that in the first two years of the war, neither side of the war had enough understanding, or had insufficient ability to open up a new major front on the African continent.

Before Tiannian, the African battlefield was actually the general term for several secondary battlefields.

Shortly after the outbreak of the war, Sudan participated in the war as an intensive group member state, and joined forces with Kenya, which is also a member state of the group, to assist Ethiopia in the name of the Eastern African Union organization to attack Eritrea, which triggered the East African War, known as the "Horn of Africa War". From the perspective of casualties and losses, this war that took place on the roof of Africa and the poorest areas in the world is definitely the most brutal war. Within more than a year of war, the six countries participating in the war, Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti died in total. The population of these six countries

The total number is less than 200 million. In other words, there are one of the six countries who died in battle on average. During the war, the death rate of other participating countries was less than one percent. In addition to the huge mortality rate, the cruel means of war also made the war blamed. According to post-war investigation, among the ten thousand people who died, only ten thousand soldiers were killed, and the rest were innocent civilians. Most of the innocent civilians were cut off their heads in the national extermination policy pursued by both sides of the war, and some were even cruelly dismembered. It is precisely because of this that some people called the East African War the "machete war" the last extremely cruel barbaric war in human history.

At the same time as the East Africa War, there was also the "West Africa War" that was the war between Nigeria and Chameron.

Although they are both West African countries, Nigeria and Cameroon are not friendly. As early as the era of the Li Century Blade, these two Gulf Coast countries had military conflicts over offshore oil extraction.

Entering the century, with the secret support of the United States, Komeron wooed several other countries in the region, namely Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Netgo, Sao Tome and Principe, and other countries, to jointly deal with Nigeria. Correspondingly, Nigeria is not to be outdone and cooperated with the Republic to win over the Democratic Republic of the Congo to fight against the West African Union.

At the end of the Blade era, as the largest rare metal deposit on the African continent was discovered in the Mandala Mountains area on the border between Nigeria and Komeron, the contradiction between the two countries became more and more acute, and the role of superpowers in the conflict in West Africa was becoming more and more important. Objectively speaking, this rare metal deposit that was almost covered by the Mandala Mountains was enough to give; Nigeria brought immeasurable material wealth to the Wan Nigerians and the Wanmerons, allowing the B-do people to live a rich life. According to conservative estimates

It is estimated that this rare metal deposit in Africa, the world's third largest and world's third, can be mined at a rate of 10,000 tons per year. If calculated at the four-year international rare metal mine trading price, this output can reach 200 million, which will encourage Nigerians and Cameroonians to obtain net income of 4 US dollars or 20,000 yuan per year. It can be said that as long as the distribution of mineral deposits can be reasonably solved, Nigeria and Komeron can quickly enter the ranks of wealthy countries, and even Chad, which is close to the mining area, can benefit from it.

The key is distribution.

According to Romeron, the borders of the two countries are based on the Mandara ridge line, so the mining rights should be distributed evenly, that is, the mining volume should be allocated in a limit manner, and the two countries each account for half. Nigeria's attitude is completely opposite, that is, most of the Mandara Mountains are in Nigeria, and the mining rights should be confirmed according to the distribution of the mountains, so Nigeria should obtain about 90% of the mining share. It is obvious that the differences between the two sides are very serious. Even if the West African Union and the Non-Guan Alliance came forward to mediate one after another, they failed to form an agreement that both countries could accept. At the beginning of the Milk Year, when mediation was fruitless, Nigeria sent troops to attack Leumelong, and the First West African War broke out.

There is no doubt that this is a very cruel war, and it is even considered by many to be the cruelest war in African history.

In the early days of the war, Nigeria occupied an active position with its larger army, and once exposed it, it pushed the front line near the Ragdo Reservoir. It occupied all the northernmost provinces of Cameroon and most of the northern provinces. However, the combat effectiveness of the Nigerian army was far inferior to that of the Kumalon army. In addition, after the outbound combat, the Nigerian authorities voluntarily gave up the attack after achieving limited victory. The result can be imagined that with the US military aid

The second half of the year arrived one after another, and the battle situation quickly reversed. With the help of the US military adviser, there was evidence that the US special forces participated in the counterattack of the Cameroonian army and went deep into Nigeria to snipe the Nigerian General Boyala Army. Not only did it quickly recover the lost territory, it also pushed the front line into Nigeria, and controlled the entire Mandala Mountain at the end of March of the recession. Affected by the defeat, Nigeria

The political situation was severely turbulent. The moderate president was impeached at the end of April 2014. The hardliner President Lucini, who was fully supported by the army, came to power and flew to Beijing on the third day of his tenure to seek help from the Republic. After receiving full assistance from the Republic, the Nigerian army launched a counterattack in the second half of the year, and finally pushed the front to the territory of Sonmayron at the end of the year and controlled the entire Mandala Mountain. According to the request of the Republic's advisor

In fact, the Republic also sent special forces to participate in the combat operation, and in the counterattack of the Nigerian army, it successfully sniped Colonel Ronald, the chief adviser of the US affairs advisory group. The Nigerian army did not continue to move south, but instead deployed defense lines along the Berue River after capturing the capital of the northern province of Garua Aromeron. Affected by this, the First West African War entered a stalemate at the beginning of the year of drowning, which was also the most cruel stage of the war.

After the front stabilized, Nigeria invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and carried out extreme intentions in the name of clearing out the Kormalon army north of the Berue River... According to the UN's report on the dying of the Duliwu Nian in the year of injury, there were as many as ten thousand people in the Kormalon who died of the genocide. Although only a small number were killed by the Nigerian army, the deaths of these people were related to Nigeria. What's more cruel is that in order to control the occupied areas for a long time and to annex the occupied areas, the Nigerian authorities implemented a genocide policy while forcing millions of Nigerians to leave their hometowns.

The so-called extremes of things will turn back, and the tough approach of the Nigerian authorities quickly brought it to an end.

At the end of the year, the Nigerian hardliner government was defeated in the general election, and the moderates came to power again. The problem is that the national reconciliation policy vigorously promoted by the moderate regime was not in line with the appetite of the military. After all, when it comes to developing rare metal deposits, the real beneficiaries are those senior generals who hold military power, as well as the large tribes and large families where these generals are located. Any action that poses a threat to their interests is within the scope of their attack.

Affected by this, the prospects for the moderate Nigerian regime after taking office were very bleak.

At the same time, Weimeiron, who was defeated in the First West African War, did not give up the idea of ​​regaining lost territory and revenge, and was always preparing for it. At the end of March of the year, with the full support of the United States, the Kumaron army crossed the border from the north of Mount Adamawa and attacked Nigeria. The Second West African War broke out.

No

Compared with the First West African War, the Second West African War was much more "regular". From the beginning, the Kumaroonian army received strong guidance from the U.S. affairs consultants. It can even be said that the entire combat operation was mostly commanded by the Americans. Affected by this, the Cameroonian army's war purpose was very clear, that is, not to recover lost land, but to completely control the Mandala Mountains through this war and establish a foundation for long-term control of the region. More importantly, among the military forces invested by Kumaroon, in addition to the Liwan ground troops, there were also the most powerful air force in West Africa at that time, and a not-too-small navy. Shortly after the outbreak of the war, the Cameroonian navy blocked the coastline of Nigeria and sent assault troops to control Nigeria.

All oil extraction platforms in the offshore areas also bombarded Nigeria's major port cities. In order to support the military operations of Komeron, the US Navy not only sent an aircraft carrier battle group to the Gulf of Guinea, but also put pressure on neighboring countries. It is obvious that this is not the war of Komeron, but the war of the United States. From the deployment of the US military, it can be seen that the United States' intention is to occupy and control the Mandala Mountains and obtain this rare metal deposit that is enough for the United States to enjoy the years. The problem is that Cameroon's comprehensive national strength is far inferior to Nigeria, and even with the assistance of the United States, it is difficult to win the Second West African War alone. Affected by this, several West African countries, including Equatorial Guinea and Caiguo, were involved in this war one after another.

question

The problem is that at this time, the Republic has no way to provide Nigeria with much assistance. As we all know, the Republic’s primary task in its 100th century is to win the Indian War. In a sense, Nigeria’s rare metal deposits are not of great value to the Republic, because the Republic itself is the world’s largest reserve of rare metal deposits, and it also controls the neighboring Laos Sichuan Mining Expansion, which is the second largest rare metal deposit in the world, and the Sudan, East Africa, has the second most rare metals in Africa.

Minerals can also obtain rare metal minerals from other regions. Therefore, whether there are rare metal minerals in Nigeria has a great impact on the Republic. What is important is that rare metal minerals are the most repetitive strategic resources. The Republic does not need them, which does not mean that they can be handed over to competitors. It is precisely because of this. Wang Yuanqing, the head of the Republic at that time, adopted Pei Chengyi's strategic suggestions and shortened the time of the Indian war from year to half a year. Similarly, Pei Chengyi was highly appreciated by Wang Yuanqing.

Because the Republic cannot provide large-scale military assistance, and even cannot break the maritime blockade of the United States on Nigeria, in the first few months of the war, Nigeria could only trade space for time and use its huge force to deal with more powerful enemies. By the end of the past year, when the large-scale combat operations of the Indian War ended, Nigeria not only lost the occupied areas, but also lost the entire Adamawa State, that is, the state where the Mandala Mountains are located, and most of the Talaba State and Borno State. In this short 8 months of battle, Nigeria lost a total of Cong Wan's troops, and the officers and soldiers were killed in the battle, and most of them were massacred by the Cameroonian army after surrender.

Of course, in these 8 months, the Republic did nothing.

In the face of the difficult and dangerous situation of the war, the Republic came forward and the two major political factions in Nigeria reached a reconciliation agreement, namely, jointly responding to foreign invasions, and after the war, national elections were held under the supervision of the Republic to end decades of domestic political turmoil. As the supervisor, the Republic also promised to help Nigeria carry out modernization after the war and lift Nigeria out of poverty and backwardness.

In fact, the most important thing the Republic does is not in Nigeria, but in Chad, central African state.

At the end of April of the Wu year, when the Cameroonian army invaded Mandala Mountains, and was cheering for the victory, the Sudanese army, with the support of the Republican adviser, rushed to Njamena thousands of miles. In one fell swoop, controlled this Central African country with an area of ​​more than 40,000 square kilometers. More importantly, the Sudanese army also controlled the military centers along the way and allowed the Chadian army to lay down their weapons.

Because the assault was too fast and was unimaginable, the entire Western world believed that the Republican team completed the operation under the banner of the Sudanese army. In fact, there were indeed Republicans participating in the operation at that time, but the main force was the Sudanese National Defense Forces. The Republic only sent a few special forces. From the timing of the operation, it can be seen that the Republic intends to stabilize the situation in Africa before the Indian War begins, so as to allow Nigeria to persist until after the Indian War.

It can be said that it was this operation that changed the outcome of the Second West African War.

By August of Lishi, the Cameroonian army had already won major victories in several rivers, and it was able to tell Abuja about the army. However, under the guidance of the US military consultant, the Cumulone army gave up the advance westward and instead attacked Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State at the border between Nigeria and Chad. The Cumulone army was easy to understand when Nigeria could obtain foreign countries.

Aid, 80% of the routes from Sudan to Chad, crossing the entire African continent, and the terminal of the material transportation line in Nigeria is Maiduguri. In other words, unless the Komeron army invades Chad, the supply line can only be cut off by occupying Maiduguri. From the perspective of the entire battle situation, only by cutting off this supply line can it be possible to let Komeron defeat Nigeria before the Republic defeats India.

Of course, the result of the Battle of Maiduguri was that the Kordoron army was unable to win before 2 p.m.

Before the time entered the Li Yao year, the situation on the battlefield changed. Considering that the large-scale combat operations of the Indian War had ended. In the past month, the US affairs consultant asked the Kumalon army to move from attack to defense and concentrate their forces to defend Mount Mandara. Affected by this, by the beginning of the Li Mei year, when the Republic provided more military supplies to Nigeria through the "China-Africa Transportation Line" and helped the Nigerian army launch a strategic counterattack, the Nigerian army had stabilized the front line and gained a military advantage in some areas.

Relatively speaking, the Nigerian army's counterattack was much faster and much smoother than the Chamelon army's offensive actions.

On the 2nd year of the year of the Phenol, the Nigerian army took the lead in launching a counterattack in the south of the Mandala Mountains, that is, the Beirue River Valley area, and drove out the Kermeron army entrenched in the southern part of Talaba State. Immediately afterwards, the first Nigerian Army's battlefield troops launched an attack in the north, cutting and surrounding the Oda Wanromaon army with a jump attack. Because Nigeria's counterattack operation was very similar to the offensive tactics of the Republic Army's low-altitude assault troops, many people believe that the battle on the battlefield is likely to be the Republic ** team that had just withdrawn from India. Although this speculation is not confirmed and there is no way to confirm it, one thing is believed, that is, after the end of the Indian War, the Republic

The country began to disarmament. It gave a large number of weapons and war materials to many friendly countries, including Nigeria. Moreover, Nigeria was the biggest beneficiary. Not to mention, in the first quarter of the Phenol Year, the Republic provided Nigeria with enough armed elite army divisions, that is, heavy weapons and equipment equivalent to Liwan's main force, including hundreds of vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, as well as thousands of main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. At that time, the Republic also sent many fighter jets to Nigeria at an extremely low price, and allowed the retired pilots to go to Nigeria to fight as mercenaries. After receiving such huge military assistance, it was difficult for the Nigerian army to not win.

In fact, there were indeed foreign regiments fighting in Nigeria at that time, but it was not the Republic's army. It was the Sudan's "West African Expeditionary Force".

In early July of the year of Renmi, Nigeria annihilated more than 00,000 Kormeron troops in the territory. At the end of the month, it pushed the front line until the outbreak of the war, that is, Garua, the upper reaches of the Beruel River. Although the Nigerian army still had the strength to continue to advance south, influenced by the Republic, the Nigerian army did not continue to attack, but stopped on the ceasefire line before the outbreak of the war.

Because the losses were too heavy and the US had insufficient remaining military supplies. At that time, even the US military did not have much main combat weapons and equipment, so the Merron army was not able to launch a counterattack after the Nigerian army stopped its attack, and it was unable to push the front line to the border. Unlike the First West African War, after the war ended, the Republic began to fulfill its promise.

This is also easy to understand. During the First West African War, the Republic was busy preparing to deal with India. The troubles around him had not been resolved, so it was unlikely that he would directly interfere in the internal affairs of African states. At the end of the Second West African War, the Republic had solved the problems around him and needed to suppress the United States through strategic expansion, so he had reason to be able to intervene in the affairs of the African continent.

According to the arrangements of the Republic, Nigeria held its first truly national election in the Liren Year.

Although neither the moderates nor the hardliners won more than half of the votes in this election and had to form a coalition government, the political turmoil in Nigeria was basically over. After that, even after several twists and turns, the political situation in Nigeria was relatively stable and since then, it embarked on the road of modernization.

For the other side of the war, that is, Cameroon, the situation is very different.

Because the most important mineral resources were lost. In addition, the impact of the defeat, especially the United States, as the biggest supporter of the hardline government of Mauroon, had to face the Second Cambodia War in Tiannian, Libienian, and then the Middle East War. Therefore, from August to the end of Yingnian, several coups broke out in Cameroon, the government replaced several waves, and the domestic construction was even more messy. According to a survey conducted by the United Nations in Likienian, after the Second West African War, at least the Choukou Wan Lok Manufacturers lost their homes, among which Biwan became war refugees, and just poured into Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Neighbors such as Netguo Guo had as many as Chewan.

It was not until the beginning of the year that the situation in Maurone changed.

At that time, General Lombara, who was supported by the United States, came to power and eliminated dissidents by extremely tough means, and then formed an alliance with the United States. With the support of the United States, the army began to expand. By the end of the year, the strength of the Defence Force of the Lomeron National Army increased from ten thousand to ten thousand, and the main force of the Can-element division was increased to the fallen division. The main battle tanks obtained from the United States alone exceeded four, as well as thousands of armored combat vehicles, hundreds of low-altitude attack aircraft, and hundreds of fighter aircraft. Almost overnight, Lomeron became a military power in the West African region again.

Interestingly, Nigeria's military strength has also been comprehensively improved in the past year.

With the strong aid of the Republic, Nigeria not only has many troops in Zhangli, but also has the "African Army" of the division, "African First Air Force" with Libiao combat aircraft and a powerful navy with a 10,000-ton battleship. It can be said that in addition to the scale of the navy, the Nigerian Army and Air Force both surpassed Cameroon, and their combat effectiveness was also above that of Kemeroon.

It is obvious that the crazy military expansion of the Merrion and Nigeria is not only preparing for the Third West Africa War, but also continuing the Middle East War. The reason is very simple. After the Middle East War, the Republic and the United States were left with a mountain of weapons, equipment and military supplies, which needed to be processed and consumed. Starting from national interests, it is better to assist them to friendly countries instead of destroying these weapons.

More importantly, when the Third West African War began at the beginning of the year, the quality of the Nigerian army and the Cameroonian army had greatly improved, and at least the understanding and understanding of modern wars had been advanced for decades. Affected by this, the Third West African War could be regarded as the most "normal" of these three wars.

During the war that lasted only four months, both sides had been operating around the Beruel River south of the Mandara Mountain, that is, whoever controls the Beruel River can control the Mandara Mountain. In fact, this is the fundamental reason why Nigeria is going to be internationally accused and send troops to occupy the northern region of Meron. From the terrain, Cameroon, located on the West African Plateau south of the Adamawa Mountain, had already taken advantage of it. Nigeria is located in the estuary of the Niger River. Not only is the terrain of most areas flat, but there is not much danger to defend. Because the scope of the war is relatively limited, and the two sides received support and assistance from the two superpowers, the Third West African War for civilians was for the Third West African War.

The impact caused was much smaller than the previous two times, but this does not mean that the army suffered less losses. In fact, the Third West Africa War was a war of the army. In just four months of war, both sides successively invested nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers, with a casualty rate of up to 10,000, and the number of casualties exceeding the number of disabled people was mainly due to ineffective treatment. In a sense, the Third West Africa War ended in early July of the year of Renbai. A very important reason was that the casualties of the Merron army were too heavy and it was difficult to replenish troops in the short term. It was impossible to continue the war. To put it bluntly, the Third West Africa War did not end with the defeat of one side, but was temporarily stopped due to the influence of the overall situation.

Although the conflict between Nigeria and Gormeron continued for many years after this. The border battles of all sizes were not resolved, but due to the overall situation, the Republic and the United States were preparing for World War III, and the two West African countries did not break out in large-scale wars. Instead, they followed the pace of the two superpowers and prepared to do a big fight in the world war.

It is undeniable that the old years were enough to change a lot of things.

As for Cameroon, these old years have been very difficult. Although the United States did not relax its aid to Gomeron until the outbreak of World War III. During the war, the United States regarded Cameroon as the most important ally in the African region. However, for its own interests, the US authorities did not sincerely help Gomeron carry out modernization, but instead intensified national and national conflicts by controlling Gomeron's politics and public opinion, so that the past two generations of Cameroonians lived in hatred. Of course, the United States did not relax its military assistance to Gomeron. It can be said that by the third world

When the World War broke out, Mauroon was already a very deformed country. According to the information released after the war, in 2010, the total population of Mauroon was 10,000, and the per capita national output value was less than US$0, which was equivalent to 4 RMB. It was one of the poorest countries in the world and ranked seventh. However, Mauroon's national defense expenditure was as high as US$100 million. It was equivalent to the gross national product, and the total military expenditure ranked sixth in the African region. In other words, while almost all civilians were unable to eat enough, Cameroon maintained the largest army in Africa.

.

Objectively speaking, even without the rare metal deposits of the Mandala Mountains, Kormeron does not lack capital for development. For example, there are oil fields with the richest reserves in Africa near its coastal coastal plains, fertile land in the southwest coastal plains, and very amazing iron ore reserves, as well as very rare wood. In short, even if the population grows rapidly, as long as you focus on national modernization, Kormeron still has the capital to become a rich country.

The problem is that the United States does not want Cameroon to be rich. Otherwise, there would be no way to use Kumalon to regain the largest rare metal deposits in the African region.

It can be said that the disaster in Merrón was basically caused by the United States.

Long before the outbreak of the First West African War, when Komeron was negotiating with Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa proposed as the African Union leader to allocate the rights to mine rare metal deposits in Mandala Mountain according to the population of the two countries. The Republic also supports this solution. The problem is that if you do so, the United States will only obtain about a quarter of the minerals, not all. Therefore, the United States does not support it, and the Lemeron authorities, who obeyed the instructions of the United States, firmly opposed such distribution and firmly demanded half of the share, thus losing the last chance to resolve the issue peacefully.

Compared with Romeron, Nigeria's changes over the past years are like the Soviet Union.

Although geographically, the Republic will not invest heavily in the mining of rare metal minerals in Nigeria without security. In fact, after the end of the Third West African War, the Republican authorities made a comprehensive analysis of the international situation and came to the inevitable conclusion of the war. At that time, when the Republic began to prepare for the world war, it also conducted a strategic assessment of whether it could control the West African region. The result is obvious that, when the Republic's naval force must first control the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, even if it can rely on Argentina's naval bases to enter the West African region, it is unlikely that in the Great West, the Republic's naval bases can be used to enter the West African region.

The U.S. military was fighting for power, especially in the early stages of the war, the Republic had to be prepared to lose the entire West African region. Affected by this, the Republic's authorities did the most in Nigeria to help Nigeria resolve domestic conflicts, that is, to vigorously build infrastructure related to people's livelihood, and help Nigeria develop light industry, so that Nigeria can integrate into the Republic as its core. After the republic's 2018, the Republic's authorities focused on Chad, that is, to establish industrial zones centered on Sudan, Chad and Nigeria, span the entire African continent, thereby solving the problem of being unable to enter the Atlantic Ocean.

That is to say, until the outbreak of World War III, the amount of rare metal deposits in Nigeria was also very limited.

Like Le Merrion, Nigeria is also a country with abundant natural resources in the quarter. Even if it does not mine rare metal minerals in the Mandala Mountains, it can become a rich country as long as it can embark on the road of normal development. Compared with Cameroon, Nigeria has a more obvious advantage, with a huge population base. At the end of the Third West Africa War, Nigeria's total population was close to B, and before the outbreak of World War III, it exceeded one trillion. In other words, Nigeria is not only the most populous country in the African region, but also ranked eighth after India, the Republic, the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, the European Union and Brazil. It can be said that in the middle of the century, the huge population itself is an irreplaceable scarce resource.

It can be said that relying on population to develop the economy is also one of Nigeria's basic national policies. According to statistics from the Republic authorities, before the outbreak of World War III, that is, the second year of Yingnians, although World War III broke out at the end of the year, the statistical work must be delayed, so the statistical data of the year will be affected by the war. With Nigerian passports, there are as many as ten thousand people studying and working in the Republic. These people remitted as many as ten thousand yuan to Nigeria every year, which is equivalent to the average remittance of more than ten thousand yuan per person per year. This money can basically guarantee the normal daily expenses of a family of three in Nigeria. That is to say, just to the Republic.

The migrants who work support Lie and Dowan Nigerians. Conservatively, Nigerians who work in other countries outside the Republic still have a lot of thoughts. According to the same income level, among the 2-income Nigerians, there are 10,000 yuan that rely on the labor income of migrant workers to support them. In addition to going out to work, Nigeria also has the most developed export processing industry in West Africa. Most of them are facing emerging economies such as the Republic, Malaysia, Thailand, Pakistan, Sudan, Egypt and other emerging economies. In recent years, the trade surplus between Nigeria and the Republic has reached the highest level. The trade with the Republic has accounted for the total economic output of Nigeria.

In a sense, Nigeria's labor force is the resource that the Republic needs and attaches most importance to.

The problem is that Nigeria is a West African country and there is no guarantee of maritime routes that are highly dependent on in normal times during wartime.

It can be said that this is also the main reason why the Republic engages in export processing in Nigeria and opens up the domestic labor market to Nigerian labor. To put it bluntly, even if Nigeria is blocked during the war, it will not have much impact on the Republic's basic industries, because Nigerian processing enterprises are common in areas around the Republic. For example, Cambodia, Indonesia and India are all common, and at most prices can be raised to stimulate production. More importantly, there is more milk.

The Nigerians lived and worked in the Republic, and were almost all young and middle-aged laborers. Even if Nigeria was occupied by the US military, as long as the Republic freed up its hands, they could use these people to fight back and re-control Nigeria. In fact, after the outbreak of the war, the Republic imitated the French foreign legions and established several foreign legions, including the "West Africa Legion" dominated by Nigerian expatriates. These legions played a significant role in later combat operations.

Of course, the Republic has not forgotten the tragic religion of the three West African wars.

Since the beginning of the year, the Republic has asked Sudan to join forces with Nigeria to build a "Central Africa Trunk Line" from Sudan Port to Lagos, and then joined forces with Central Africa, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia to build a railway network covering the entire Central African region. According to the plan, these railway networks with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers will become the basis for Africa's joint development. Of course, the great significance of the "Central African Railway Network" is still military.

With this railway network, the Republican team can allow at least 2 combat units to fight in Western Africa without sea transportation support. If the construction of civil aviation infrastructure in the region can be strengthened and more airports can be built, at least 4 combat units can be allowed to fight in West Africa. There is no doubt that this is a very ambitious plan. With the combat effectiveness of African countries' armies, don't let one combat unit be relaxed. As long as the Republic Army can devote itself to a combat unit, it can sweep the entire Western Africa region within half a year.

Unfortunately, the "Central-Africa Trunkline" from Port Sudan to Lagos was built for the year, and it was not completed until the outbreak of World War III. It was affected by this that in the first two years of the war, the Republic's Army did not do much on the battlefield on the African continent. To be precise, when it was unable to invest the main combat troops on the front line, the Republic's authorities could only selectively ignore the African battlefield and focus on infrastructure construction. That is, to strive to open up the "Central-Africa Trunkline" before the time is ripe." Create more favorable conditions for West Africa's military use.

For the United States, in addition to continuing to strengthen maritime blockade, it also has to try to destroy the "Central African trunk line that the Republican team cannot enter West Africa by land. Affected by this, in the first year of the war, the United States instigated the Komeron to join the war, and concentrated its forces to march towards Lake Chad in the first two years of the war. This move was to control the Lake of Mandala Mountain, which was north of Mandala Mountain, and the other was to control Chad. In response to the US actions, the Republic not only provided very limited assistance to Nigeria. It was mainly to use the Sudan and Chad to resist the attack of the Komeron army. It must be admitted that extreme poverty and backwardness greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the Komeron army, and it was not able to make a major breakthrough in more than two years. It was not even able to occupy the entire Mandala Mountain.
Chapter completed!
