"Cud da da da..."
Just after dawn, the townspeople of Shaoqui Town were awakened by the sound of tractors starting, and then the sound of bugles came "beep beep beep..."
The East African military camp is in the center of Shaokui City. Because Shaokui was an important town in the former Portuguese, after the war, many Portuguese and indigenous people were left in the local area. Therefore, in order to prevent local rebellion, the army did not completely evacuate.
"Honey, what is that sound?" Hannah Montana pushed to wake up her sleeping husband.
Andor said impatiently, "Isn't it the bugle of East Africans! What a fuss, let me sleep for a while..."
Hannah Montana patted him and said, "I can't distinguish the sound of the bugle! I'm talking about the clicking sound before the bugle, and it hasn't stopped yet. Listen carefully."
At the urging of his wife, Andor reluctantly poked his head toward the source of the sound. Sure enough, under the powerful bugle sound, he heard a different movement, and the sound was getting closer and closer, as if coming towards his house.
"Hmm..." Andor's attention was attracted.
Suddenly, a cry of exclamation came from outside the street, "Look, monster, a monster that can move..."
"Help!"
Various Portuguese sounds, mixed with some indigenous voices, spread outside the street. Andor and his wife looked at each other. They hurriedly got dressed and went out to watch the "fun".
Andor opened the door and saw a messy scene on the street. The main cause of the chaos outside the street was Mozambican natives. The scene was extremely chaotic.
Some people were running around, some were hurriedly looking for cover, and some natives were even lying on the ground, muttering something.
Andor couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could probably guess that it was the murmuring prayers of some indigenous gods, probably like white people seeking God's protection.
The "culprit" that caused all this was a few machines with no apparent purpose. However, based on the sound and the smoke coming out of the exhaust holes, Andor believed that it should be an unknown "steam engine", but where is the exhaust hole of this "steam engine"! That black thing should just be the chimney!
Andor knows about the steam engine, and even understands the general principle of "boiling water". In Andor's impression, the steam engine produces a large amount of water mist, but these weird machines are obviously still different from "normal" steam engines.
In Andor's view, tractors in East Africa are more like "small trains" that can drive on ordinary roads, at least in appearance.
Hannah Montana hid behind her husband and asked, "Dear, have you seen what's going on?"
Andor muttered, "It looks like East Africans's 'train' scared the natives on the street."
"Train!" Hannah Montana exclaimed from behind.
Andor, who was startled by the scream, shouted loudly, "What are you doing! I was almost deafened by your shock. I am just as ignorant as those natives."
"Andor, do you think it's possible? There is no railway in Shaokui. How could East Africans bring the train here!" Hannah Montana temporarily forgot her husband's sarcasm and questioned.
Andor opened the door wider, stepped aside and said to his wife, "You will know if you see for yourself."
At this time, Hannah Montana saw what was happening on the street, but her attention had already been attracted by the tractor, and Dalmatia's was concerned about the chaos on the street.
Seeing his wife's surprised look, Andor said proudly, "You saw it! East Africans There is a train that can drive directly onto the road, but this kind of train is too small and cannot pull much cargo at all, and there is no carriage at the back."
Of course, the tractor can carry cargo, but this requires a special carriage. Of course, it can also be hooked up to a horse-drawn carriage. However, the staff at the Shaoqui Town State Farm did not have time to install it, so the East African tractor presented to the Andor couple looked more like a peculiar "locomotive."
"This should be what was on the carriages that East African Army escorted over a few days ago! It was covered with cloth at the time, so I thought it was some kind of heavy weapon." Hannah Montana said.
"Anyway, it's East Africans now, and it's impossible to fight here, so we can just live our lives honestly." Andor said.
Soon, Shaoqui Town's troops suppressed the riots in the neighborhood.
At present, the military is mainly responsible for public security in Shaoqui Town. In Mozambique and Angola, except for "big" cities such as Maputo and Luanda, there is currently no public security system in place, and most areas are still under military control.
East African Cavalry, who was riding a war horse, held up a whip and directed the black people on the street to restore order. He had a slightly better attitude towards the original Portugal residents, and just motioned for them to get out of the way and not to cause obstruction.
Of course, Portuguese's translator is mainly responsible for this work. "Everyone, please stop blocking the front, keep the road clear, and the niggas, please lean on both sides of the road, don't cause trouble."
"Don't worry, everyone. This machine is not a monster, but a tractor. You can think of it as a farm tool or a vehicle." Government officials also began to reassure people.
In fact, many government personnel only knew about tractors yesterday. Before that, they only knew that the military had brought in a group of "big guys".
Of course, the indigenous people may not be able to understand everything because it is beyond their worldview.
During the hundreds of years of Portugal colonization, local indigenous people would write Portuguese more or less, especially slaves, or indigenous people who participated in the Portuguese Army in wars.
The former residents of Portugal are a little better off. Most of them have seen the world in Europe, and they can tell that a tractor is an industrial product. Although they have never seen it, a bunch of steel products are not that "smart" and they are just a little curious.
Steam tractors are rare in Europe and the United States, not to mention the world's earliest gasoline tractor, not to mention the Portuguese, which has not been seen much in East Africa, not to mention the Portuguese colony in Mozambique. Before that, Mozambique had no modern things except guns.
Soon, Shaoqui Town residents saw how this thing called a "tractor" works.
As a town located on the coast of the Limpopo River, before the war Shaoqui Town also had agriculture as its main business industry, so most of the people living in the town were farmers.
Almost most of the residents gathered on both sides of the field to watch the tractors at work, and everyone stopped to watch.
Soon, the tractor driver installed the mechanical plow, and then got into the tractor driving seat after confirming that all procedures were completed.
Amidst the sound of "da da da da", the tractor started working in the field. The tractor with full power and the plow easily dug out plow ditches in the flat and open Limpopo River plain. Although the speed was not much faster than that of plowing cattle, it had strong endurance. From seven o'clock in the morning, it worked all the way to ten o'clock without stopping for three hours. The work efficiency was extremely high.
In the meantime, only one tractor broke down, but it was quickly repaired by experienced mechanics.
"This is what Central Government calls agricultural mechanization. The use of modern agricultural equipment has greatly improved production efficiency. If it could be rolled out across the country, I can't even imagine what it would be like." Shaoqui Town, the owner of the first state-owned farm, Lunwell, sighed.
"This is the charm of industrialization. It not only develops in the industrial field, but is also closely related to agriculture, mining and other related industries. In the future, South Mozambique Plains will build a world-class large-scale mechanized farm cluster, and we Shaoqui Town will be the vanguard of this agricultural revolution." Shaoqui Town's first East African mayor Mars said on the sidelines.
