Chapter 1530 - Chiefs of Africa (1/2)

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.
