Chapter 1276 Feng Shui

Luanda did not die, but he was unconscious, and the 15 army was leaderless. The shortcomings of his grassroots team were fully exposed. The most loyal guards ran away half of the people on the day Luanda was seriously injured. Luanda's status, anyway, is a group of demons dancing wildly.

Fortunately, the Portuguese did not know that they had seriously injured Rwanda, so they did not dare to take advantage of the situation to attack. This gave Cousse and Duron a chance to clean up the mess.

When the news came back to Kamea, Cousse and Duran were stunned. They never expected that Luanda would be seriously injured in such a dramatic way.

"This is an opportunity, we can't give up, otherwise all our previous investments will be in vain, and even Kameya will not be able to keep, we can't afford the consequences." Cousse was ecstatic, Luanda's serious injury gave Cousse more Choose, he has a chance to realize his dream.

Jianguo!

It is Qusay's dream to establish a country that belongs entirely to Africans and is not controlled by old European colonial empires or southern Africa.

"What do you mean? Do you want to replace Luanda and complete the grand cause that Luanda has not accomplished?" Du Lun said with sarcasm. Qusay is a typical example of a heart higher than the sky and a life thinner than paper. If he really makes him rebel, he might as well Luanda.

"It's not me, it's you—" Qusay said surprisingly, completely exceeding Du Lun's bottom line. Du Lun is a very contented person, and he really doesn't want to be an emperor.

"Think about it, if we could have a country that was entirely African and not controlled by anyone, then this country would be a paradise for all of us." Coussey spared no effort, the situation in Rwanda is bad, bullets It passed through his lungs, forming a huge penetrating injury. The operation lasted for three hours. Sol tried his best to barely save Luanda's life. It's up to God when he wakes up.

"Cousse, don't worry, we need to look at the situation in Luanda, and then decide what we should do." Du Lun was unwilling to join forces with Cousse, who was ambitious but lacked the strength to match his ambition.

"What if Luanda can't wake up? No matter what, Luanda is not a qualified leader. If Luanda succeeds, then Luanda will become a new colony. He may be worse than the Portuguese. .” Qusay could see through Luanda at a glance, and they were actually the same kind of people.

"Wait a little longer, don't worry now—" Du Lun was patient. He was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. After learning that Luanda was seriously injured, Du Lun sent a telegram to Nyasaland asking for support.

What Cousse said is correct. The initial investment can’t be lost, but you can’t be confused like Luanda. Rebellion is a very professional job, and ordinary people can’t do it.

Nyasaland's reply was very timely. It will take at least half a month for the support troops to be transferred from Port Elizabeth. During this period, Duron must find a way to stabilize the situation.

Given that Luanda was unconscious, Duran was authorized to take over the troops, and Yaya would send more supplies within a week.

After receiving the authorization, Duran immediately started to act. This is the difference between a professional and an amateur. Cousy's urgency is very amateurish.

For professionals, rebellion is actually not difficult.

Duron has a hundred mercenaries under his command—

No, minus Durham, there are actually only 99.

This is also enough. To control an army, you don't need too many people at all. With the establishment of the umbrella company, the army of 1 people is actually more than 160 officers.

What's more, the organization of the rebel army is definitely not as strict as the umbrella. Half of the guards ran away in just a few days, and now there are less than 5000 people left. These [-] people are actually mixed. It is not enough to remove those physical fitness, and the training attitude is not correct. , a guy with a weak will, the last leftover is actually less than two thousand.

With 15 rebels, 1 people went to Wucunjing to form a guard division. As a result, Du Lun picked and picked, and less than [-] soldiers met the requirements.

Well, it's very African.

"2000 people are enough. A place like West Africa can't afford too many troops. As long as the Portuguese government doesn't increase its troops, 2000 people are more than enough to deal with the existing colonial servants." Du Lun didn't know where to get a set The officer's uniform of the West African Colonial Servant Army looks decent even after wearing it.

Luanda's behavior of still wearing the uniform of the Southern African Expeditionary Army in the past was simply courting death. Duran didn't need the uniform of the Southern African Expeditionary Army to emphasize that he had participated in the World War and had seen the world, so he chose the uniform of the West African Colonial Servant Army. In order not to make excuses for the Portuguese.

When Luanda formed troops, it only paid attention to the weapons of the troops, not the clothing of the troops.

This is another fundamental mistake. The combat effectiveness of troops has never been improved by weapons. Uniform uniforms can form a strong sense of centripetal force and honor. What the rebels need most is this, not advanced weapons.

To put it bluntly, if advanced weapons were given to Luanda's troops, the people in Luanda would not use them either.

"It's still possible to relax the standard a little bit. What we have to deal with is not only the West African colonial government, but also other rebels—" Duren's deputy, Kaoma, is experienced. He is from the Honor Hold army and has extremely rich experience in rebellion. .

The Fort Honor troops had to face the Tanganyika German army back then. Germany had relatively abundant human resources. After the Fort Honor rebellion, the German colonial servants in Tanganyika were all composed of pure Germans, and their combat effectiveness was still acceptable. of.

"Those rebels don't have to worry. When the Rwandan troops set off, each of them only carried [-] rounds of ammunition. After the bullets were exhausted, their rifles were fire sticks." Du Lun was not worried. Understand, the real situation could be worse.

The African troops are doing well, but when encountering difficulties, most of them just throw their guns and run away.

Why throw it?

A rifle weighing more than ten kilograms must be carried on the back when fleeing, which will affect the speed of fleeing.

As for how much the troops spent and how much they paid for the rifles, this has nothing to do with the ordinary rebels, it is the responsibility of the rebel leaders.

"Rifles are not very useful to these West Africans. They are more used to using long knives. They will beheaded at every turn, and they have to pile up their heads, just like a savage." Kaoma is also African, but under the umbrella The Africans working in the company gave Kaorma great confidence. He believed that he was different from other Africans from the bottom of his heart.

Same goes for Durham, or so all the Africans working in the umbrella think.

That's why African talents are rushing to become mercenaries for umbrella companies.

"After the reorganization of the troops, we must launch an attack on Luanda as quickly as possible, without giving the Portuguese time to mobilize their troops." Du Lun was decisive. Luanda is the center of Portuguese rule in West Africa. Occupying Luanda, the Portuguese lost The best foothold in West Africa, even if Portugal transfers troops from the country to West Africa to counter the rebellion, it will face greater difficulties.

For the current army, it is very difficult to land on the beach. During the World War, with the tyranny of the British army, during the Battle of the Dardanelles, the Anzac Army was still playing like that when they landed on the beach. It was almost an impossible task for the Portuguese troops to land on the beach.

Therefore, the top priority is to occupy Luanda. If it cannot be controlled, then Luanda would rather be burned down than keep Luanda as the forward base of the Portuguese army.

"It's simple. Even if the Portuguese set up an expeditionary force, it will take at least two or three months. Our reinforcements have already arrived in Port Edward, and they will arrive in a week. The Portuguese have no chance." Caoma carefully calculated, step by step The pace is slow, which is the tragedy of a small country with few people.

Raising soldiers is a very expensive thing. The rich are like southern Africa, and they can afford 10,000+ standing troops. A small country with few people cannot afford too many troops. It is seriously insufficient for local defense. It is only necessary to form an expeditionary force to counter the rebellion in the colonies. Can be temporarily called up like Belgium.

The British launched the second Boer War, and they needed to recruit troops from colonies around the world.

Southern Africa nominally only has two standing divisions in its own country. In fact, Port Elizabeth can form two more divisions at any time. The Najd Sultanate still maintains four divisions. The Republic of the Congo mobilized the servant army, the actual military strength is quite strong, it is undoubtedly world-class

If West Africa becomes independent successfully, then Southern Africa will have another channel to raise troops. With five or six million West Africans, it will be easy to form three or five divisions.

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and before Du Lun could speak, the door was pushed open.

"Ruanda is dead—" Sol looked serious.

"—"

Du Lun and Kaoma's expressions were calm. With the current level of medical treatment, their lungs were pierced by bullets, and they were basically hopeless.

Even if the operation is successful, most of them will die from postoperative infection.

However, the cause of Luanda's death is obviously not that simple.

"Just now Cuse came to see Luanda and asked me and the nurse to leave. After Cuse left, I found out that Luanda was dead—" Sol's face was a bit grim. If it was a normal death, it meant that Sol His medical skills are not good.

What is this now?

Du Lun scratched his head unconsciously, not knowing what to say, or whether Coussey should be held accountable.

"If you die, just die. Find a place with good feng shui and bury him." Kaoma obviously didn't intend to pursue the matter, so it's a good death!

It's really good, if Lu Anda's fate survives, then there may be another disturbance at that time, it's not as good as it is now.

"When did you start to believe in Fengshui—" Du Lun finally found the point. Fengshui belongs to the scope of traditional Chinese culture. Let alone whether it is a feudal superstition, even Africans can blurt out the word "Fengshui", which fully demonstrates the traditional Chinese culture. The Influence of Culture on Southern Africa.

ps: I was temporarily recruited yesterday afternoon, and it was already early in the morning when I came back. Today is the old man’s birthday, and I will definitely not be able to make up for it—wake up at four o’clock to type, and send as much as I can type——
