Compared with the brutal and uncommunicative Africans, the Congolese Party, made up of white people, is clearly a better target to reach.

There are 10 million Africans in the Congo Free State, and the total population of Belgium is not so large, so when the Congo Free State rebelled, the Belgian government and Leopold II had nothing to do.

However, the direct abandonment of the Congo Free State in this way really made the Belgian government and Leopold II feel painful, and now the emergence of the Congo Party has broken this situation, compared with 10 million Africans, the Congo Party has only a few thousand people, even if you can't fight, you can sit down and talk, and the matter between civilized people must be resolved in a civilized way.

However, what Leopold II and the Chief Minister Frans Shorat did not expect was that although the Congolese Party had only a few thousand people, it was a few thousand well-trained tigers and wolves, and if Leopold II and Frans Shorat thought that they could eliminate the Congolese Party by recruiting a few farmers, then Leopold II and Frans Shorat were wrong.

At the same time that Leopold II announced the formation of an expeditionary force, Isaac Pansy led the Congolese army to defeat the rebels besieging Leopoldville, saving nearly 4,000 white Europeans in Leopoldville in time.

These whites were not all Belgians, and the European population during this period was highly mobile, with only a proportion of Belgians in the Congo Free State, as well as French, Germans, Irish, and even Boers who came to the Congo Free State after the Boer War.

During the siege of the rebels, Alvar Becky, who led the inhabitants of Leopoldville in their brave struggle, was from France.

Soon after the outbreak of the rebellion in the Congo Free State, Leopoldville was surrounded by rebels and besieged the city for 45 days, thanks to its proximity to the Congo River, so it was able to survive until now, but the ammunition in the city was about to run out, and Alva Becky was already preparing to withdraw to Brazzaville on the other side of the Congo River.

Going to Brazzaville was Alvar Becky's last choice, Brazzaville is the territory of French equatorial Africa, across the river from Leopoldville, the French built Brazzaville on the opposite bank of Leopoldville in order to prevent the Belgians from crossing the Congo River, from which the relationship between the Congo Free State and French Equatorial Africa can be seen.

Isaac Pansy's arrival was warmly welcomed by Leopoldville, and Alva Becky held a grand entrance ceremony for the Congolese party to celebrate the city's escape.

At this time, Alvar Becky did not know the identity of Isaac Pansy, and thought that the Congolese forces were reinforcements sent by the Belgian conquest.

"There have never been reinforcements, do you think the king cares if we live or die? No, we are outcasts, and no one cares if we live or die. Isaac Pansy complained that it was not good to be abandoned, especially in the face of great danger, which was enough to break with Isaac Pansy and Belgium.

"And you-" Alvar Becky was confused, Isaac Pansy's army was more than five thousand men, and he was well-trained at first glance, such a man should not be nameless.

Isaac Pansy did not answer, and only smiled after a part of the army entered the city and took control of the city gates: "We are the Congolese party, the masters of the future Congo Free State!" ”

Even if Alvar Becky repents at this time, there is no way to change the situation.

Isaac Pansy's men were indeed well-trained, and they took over the defense after they entered the city, and the city walls, watchtowers, and temporary bunkers on the streets were all taken over by Isaac Pansy's men.

The soldiers were well-armed and used state-of-the-art magazine-style rifles, which were not even equipped by the Belgian army.

In addition to the magazine rifles, Isaac Pansy's men also possessed a large number of heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns, and Alvar Becky even found some light guns that had been taken apart and carried by several men.

There was no doubt that this was a formidable force, and even if Alvar Becky kept this force out, this force could easily take down Leopoldville with superior firepower.

"After the rebellion broke out, the king lacked effective means to deal with it, we didn't get any warning in advance, we didn't rescue after the rebellion, my wife and children were killed by the rebels, although it was the rebels' fault, but the king also has a responsibility, our Congolese party welcomes all friends to join, in the future we want to establish an independent Congo Free State, and build the Congo Free State into a paradise for all of us." Isaac Pansy had ideals, and sure enough, there was never a savior.

"You're right, I'm also going to join the Congolese party." Alvar Becky is not stupid, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish, and everyone can only go with the flow.

In the evening, Alvar Becky finally met the real boss of the Congolese party.

"Mr. Chamberlain, is it really you?" Alvar Becky knew Isaiah Chamberlain, after all, the Haut-Katanga Mining Complex was a large enterprise in the Congo Free State, and Alvar Becky was technically an employee of Isaiah Chamberlain.

"Yes Alva, I'm so proud of you, you did better in the rebellion than Frans Shorart." Isaiah Chamberlain gave Alvar Becky a big hug, which is not an exaggeration, it was indeed Alvar Becky who saved the city of Leopoldville.

"God forbid, it's nice to see you." Alvar Becky is finally relieved now, with Isaiah Chamberlain here, Alvar Becky can be regarded as having found an organization.

In this rebellion, the Haut-Katanga Mining Complex also suffered heavy losses, and many of Alva Beki's acquaintances will never be seen again

Many of the managers of the Haut-Katanga Mining Complex were killed as a result of the miners' riot, and it was rumored that Isaiah Chamberlain had also been killed in the rebellion, or had fled the Congo Free State and returned to Belgium.

In either case, Alvar Becky never imagined that Isaiah Chamberlain was still in the Congo Free State.

"I have always been in the Congo Free State, I have never left, after the outbreak of the rebellion, I tried to get in touch with the mainland, hoping that the local army could form an expeditionary force as soon as possible-" Isaiah Chamberlain was full of emotion, and the anger on his face was just right: "-In any case, I did not expect that the answer given to me by Mr. Frans Sholat was that there was no money, so it was impossible to form an expeditionary force, which is simply ridiculous, you must know that our Haut-Katanga Mining Complex pays more than a million pounds in profits every year, where does the money go!" ”

Most of the ore excavated by the Haut-Katanga Mining Complex was sold to British smelters, and the pound sterling was also the strongest currency in the world at this time, which was very popular with the market.

"God, we have been abandoned like this—" Alvar Becky could not accept this, and during the forty-five days of the siege, all of Leopoldville were convinced that an expeditionary force would be formed on the mainland, just as the British government had done at the outbreak of the Boer War, and that the rebellion would be quelled at all costs.

It was with this belief that the Leopoldville people were able to bravely take up arms and fight the rebels, otherwise Leopoldville would have fallen long ago.

"Yes, we worked hard far from home to earn money for the king and dignitaries, but they abandoned us so easily, and we will not accept such an outcome." Isaiah Chamberlain was emotional, and the higher his status, the more he could not accept this.

"It would have been enough if it had been all there had been to it, but as soon as we announced the Congo Party, our great king had the money, and the country had decided to form an expeditionary force, but their enemies were not the rebels, but our poor people struggling to survive." Isaiah Chamberlain understands the situation, and now it is indeed a pack of wolves that are surrounded by internal and external troubles.

"So what should we do?" Alvar Becky didn't know about Isaiah Chamberlain's plans.

"We have been abandoned once, we must not leave our fate in the hands of others again, the Congo Free State is no longer the king's personal domain, the king only signed the agreement, and he earns tens of millions of francs a year from the Congo Free State, for the king and the dignitaries in the country, the Congo Free State is just a business, but for those of us, the Congo Free State is our everything, our family is here, our career is here, and our children will grow up here in the future, From now on we are no longer a profit-making tool for some people, we are special people! "Isaiah Chamberlain had ideals and passion.

"That's right, we're going to fight for our family!" Alvar Becky didn't know how many times he had repeated this phrase during this time.

The day after entering the city, Leopoldville's radio station announced the independence of the Congo Free State on public channels, and also changed the name of the city to "Free City".

Leopold II and the Belgian government immediately announced that they would not recognize the independence of the Congo Free State, reaffirmed Belgium's ownership of the Congo Free State, and declared the Congolese Party a rebel, calling on people around the world who support fairness and justice to take the initiative to stand up and put down this brutal and shameless rebellion together with the Belgian expeditionary force.

Unlike Belgium, Britain, France, Germany and the United States all disagreed with the Belgian government's statement, when the rebels were strong before, the Belgian government was not so brave, and now the Congolese forces have rescued Leopoldville, and the Belgian government is like a shot in the arm and reacts quickly, which is a bit too ugly.
