I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 1530: Chiefs of Africa

Until the 22nd century, this continent had been the target of economic colonization by different countries, and once ushered in a brief period of prosperity. After the 22nd century, space mining became the norm, and the enthusiasm for Africa plummeted.

Resources were no longer the advantage of Africa. Space elevators brought endless industrial raw materials to major economies. The moon had become a new battlefield for major political alliances. The rare earth and helium-3 energy markets were quickly reshuffled followed by the establishment of the first colony on the moon. The entire continent of Africa seemed to have been forgotten, and completely abandoned by international investment. All that remained was a shell, large slums, and unlit cities that formed a stark contrast.

The black brothers who did not work very hard obviously failed to prepare for this day.

With the withdrawal of major mining and oil giants from Africa, this continent entered an unprecedented depression. The debt crisis caused African governments to go bankrupt. War, hunger, and disease became the new normal on this continent. Just like in the African savannah, natural selection proceeded for the people huddled in the slums who struggled in poverty as they lived through the cycles of suffering from coups and short-lived dictators.

Only when humanitarian supplies arrived did they get a chance to breathe.

The situation was slightly changed in 2150. The global economic crisis arrived, and the situation could not get worse in Africa. People seemed to move their attention back to here, although their eyes were full of absent-mindedness.

And the real turning point was 2171.

With the outbreak of the Third World War, this continent, which had almost declined to the atomic age, unexpectedly became the only survivor of this nuclear war.

In 2174, after the Third World War ended, the world government was established, and many people began to prepare for their escape plans. At that time, the world government prepared to bring in the Africans, but unfortunately, there were many tribal chiefs in Africa, and there was no suitable spokesperson that represented the continent.

Until the launch of the colonialization ships in 2176, the entire African continent was excluded from the sight of the international community. However, to the surprise of everyone, after the end of the war in 2174, Africa welcomed a new dawn.

From Moscow to Paris, every city was in ruins, and there was not an inch of undamaged land.

A large number of European refugees crossed the Mediterranean and poured into Africa and brought with them technology and knowledge not available here.

Only then did the Africans realize that the world they had longed for had turned into ruins, and the people they had envied, at this moment, looked here with envy.

Apart from the arms reserves that were world-class on this continent, everything else was so backward.

However, it was precisely because of this that the black people did not once again become slaves to Europeans or other outsiders as they once did. Instead, the black people with weapons put their muzzles against the heads of the European refugees and tied collars around their necks.

It was impossible to expect them to farm for a living. Even white people thought it was politically incorrect for black people to help white people, let alone the black people themselves?

The fact was before the war, many backward regions in Africa had regressed back to the tribal chieftain system.

And most of these tribes agreed with slavery.

This situation was particularly common in North Africa. Although some countries south of the Sahara still maintained characteristics of a civilized society, the North African tribes became more powerful after they accepted a large number of refugees or slaves from Europe.

After a powerful chief came to power, a new African Union was formed.

Just like the name, the United African Tribes implemented a high degree of tribal autonomy, united in the strategy of foreign war, and launched a war against the South African Union.

Compared with the world war that had destroyed two hundred years of progress in three years, this war could only be described as amateur. Not even a tank brigade was formed by either side, and the battle consisted of power armors and unarmored infantry charging on the prairie.

The use of 22nd-century equipment combined with the tactical style of the First World War marked the surrender of the South African Union in five years, as they retreated to Madagascar. The United African Tribes that conquered the entire continent had no intention to further pursue the South African Union due to the fact that it could not gather enough warships.

The large tracts of land digested the refugees that flooded into Africa, and there was finally enough food.

Hard-working Asians became the best candidates for farming, and those with land all received “one”. In contrast, the image of the white was closer to the appetite of the black, so they often served as sex slaves.

A symbol of status and power was having a white slave.

Whether it was the United African Tribes or the South African Union that had retreated to the island of Madagascar, they did not have more ambition about the land outside the African continent. Europeans already told them how bad the outside world was.

Soldiers that defected from Europe became sought-after objects. The pilots of fighters, tanks, and even power armors often received a status higher than that of ordinary black civilians.

As for most Asians, life was very difficult in Africa.

Especially Indians.

For Southeast Asia, Africa was too far away after all. Most Asians who crossed the Indian Ocean to reach southern Africa and Madagascar were from India. After these people arrived in Africa, most of them were raised as serfs.

“Unity is indestructible.”

This old Congolese proverb was the slogan of the Africans.

However, the irony was that neither the tribal autonomous United African Tribes nor the South African Union has ever stopped its internal friction.

The United African Tribes in the north were like a huge feudal empire. The “king” ruled countless powerful vassals in his hands, but the South African Union was more like a small Renaissance republic.

“Did the social form deteriorate to this point?” With dark circles around his eyes, Jiang Chen stepped in but he was on the verge of falling down. He read the report sent up to the General’s Mansion while he yawned profusely and muttered incoherently, “A group of baboons with rifles… an envoy? Well, I can go see him.”

Han Junhua kept her gaze on him, and after a while, she coughed lightly.

“If you are in a bad state today, I suggest you sleep for a while.”

“My state is not good? Not true.”

Jiang Chen shook his head vigorously, pinched the space between his eyebrows, then tossed the file in his hand aside.

“Maybe you need a cup of coffee.”

Han Junhua shrugged, then left.

“Wait,” Jiang Chen raised his hand and stopped Han Junhua from leaving. After she stopped, he said, “Send someone to make an appointment with that envoy, um… how about tomorrow, I will meet him at the Sixth Street to discuss.”

He just couldn’t do it today in this state.

The last scene he recalled was probably the early morning sunlight outside the window, with Yao Yao’s pretty face full of happiness and contentment, and the mischievous smile on Xiaorou who just woke up. He couldn’t remember that part clearly. He vaguely remembered that Xiaorou helped him get to the General’s Mansion, mostly to mess with him…

Otherwise, why would he come here?

Watch me go back and slap your butt.

After he muttered in his mind, he wanted to get up from the chair, but instead, his head planted against the table and he started to snore.

Han Junhua’s eyebrows twitched, let out a sigh, then walked out.

“Yes.”
