Bangui.
"Is this the city of Bangui in East Africa? I never expected East Africans to have built such a modern metropolis here!"
It was Governor Klein's first time in Bangui City. After a long journey through the primeval rainforests, traveling by boat, and then transferring to the railway to finally reach Bangui City, Klein felt as if he had traversed two worlds.
The Belgian Congo under his administration seemed like a vast primeval forest, except for a few colonial outposts like Black Horn, even villages were sparse.
However, upon entering East Africa, although the developed areas were few, the railroad cutting through the rainforests and savannas, the multitude of boats on the Ubangi River, and the developed road system left Klein in awe.
