Heart of Darkness
Freistaat Mittelafrika
"Mittelafrika was created after the 1921 treaty by a victorious Germany, with the aim of centralizing the governing of Germany's newly acquired African colonies under one administration headed by Wilhelm Solf and Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the undefeated commander of German forces in East Africa during the war. Almost from the start Mittelafrika became a semi-autonomous region, with its own government and its own armed forces. Its territories were greatly expanded in 1925 when the political turbulence in England caused Germany to move troops into Britain's African colonies and from this point on the Freistaat was the hegemonic political force in Africa, if only due to its size.However it remained economically backwards, sucking in German money and manpower for little return gain, as minor colonial insurrection continually plagued it through the 1920's and 30's. In 1934 Lettow-Vorbeck was replaced by Hermann Goering- a politician whose actions and right-wing extremist views were embarrassing the Kaiser's government. Goering saw the move as an opportunity to create his own power base, and by 1936 has begun to enlarge the army and now looks greedily at his neighbors, especially the Portuguese colonies and the native state of Abyssinia." - Scenario description.
Hello and welcome back to one of my "silly*" AARs. You might be remember me of "great" works like "Empire Strikes Back - KR Canada", "Battle of Religions: Rise of Islam" and many other AARs that were either completed, semi completed or abandoned all together. I think CK and KR are the ones that I've tried to make the most AARs of so it is natural that I return to KR. So that is why I chose Mittelafrika. Why? Because I could have gone with Finland but I find the opportunities as Finland to be rather small. So I wanted something with a powerhungry leader and things to expand to, thus the Free State of Central Africa.
The goals of course are what Göring in his megalomania want's, all of Africa under his rule while keeping the money flowing from the Fatherland. And of course making the Dark Continent an industrial superpower.
