Governor of Africa

World War II came to an end, and the old world order collapsed. Britain, France, Portugal, Italy, and the other old colonial powers were severely weakened. The overseas colonial system they had maintained for a century was on the verge of collapse, and a tumultuous wave of independence movements swept across the African continent. The Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya spread through the countryside, Egypt forcefully reclaimed the Suez Canal, and Ghana fired the first shot for independence... The flames of independence ignited across Africa, and chaos descended. Lu Yan, a history student, accidentally transmigrated to the battlefield of the 1948 peasant uprising in Tanganyika, where he found himself a prisoner of the revolutionary army from the start. To save his life, he immediately and wholeheartedly switched sides. “You really want to join the revolution?” “I'll join the revolution with all my heart and soul. I mean it!” “But you're white.” Lu Yan answered with utter sincerity: “Then we're brothers from different parents!” Years later, he climbed step by step to the leadership of the revolutionary army, successively overthrowing colonial rule and quelling domestic rebellions. His influence spread from Tanganyika across East Africa, then to Central and West Africa, and eventually the whole world. He was the “Father of African Unity,” the “Beacon of East Africa,” and the “Man Who Reshaped Africa in the Twentieth Century,” as well as the universally acknowledged “Greatest African of the Twentieth Century.” When he became the first Pan-African President of Tanzania-Sangha, reporters from around the world asked him what it felt like, as a white man, to reach this moment. Lu Yan gazed at the vast, boundless continent beneath his feet and sighed softly. “Honestly, at first, all I really wanted was to escape back to Portugal and live the life of a rich kid.”
