This distorted form of trade is essentially a new type of triangular trade. With the progression of World War I, among the two camps, the Allies fared better. After all, England and France are large, established nations with colonies to support them. The Allies' wallets, however, were being drained at a visibly fast rate by numerous "Neutral Countries".
As the largest economic cooperation "partner" of the Allies, East Africa carefully formulated a series of plans for the Allies to alleviate their financial pressure.
In summary, the current trade between East Africa and the Allies is that "anything can be exchanged."
Gold naturally ranks first. According to the East African government's assessment, a large amount of gold from the Allies flows into East Africa, and a significant portion of Russia's gold reserves in the Allied camp also end up in East Africa.
