Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 321 Martin Boots

The colonial army of the Congo Free State is used to bully the Congolese. It is not enough to deal with the Yao people who defeated the Portuguese. Do not think.

To put it bluntly, the gap between the Nyasaland militia and the Rhodesian Northern Division is like the gap between the Cape Servant Army and the British Expeditionary Force.

As for the troops of the Yao people, their combat effectiveness is the same as that of the Zulu scouts in the Boer War, and they are not even qualified to fight against the expeditionary army.

And the combat effectiveness of the Congolese colonial army is even inferior to that of the Yao army, so how can it possibly fight against the Nyasaland militia and the northern Rhodesia division?

There is no comparison at all.

"Sorry, but without this, we should all be married by now—" When Rock said this to Phyllis, January 1903 had already entered.

"Don't say such things - I am Mrs. Nyasaland, and I should be responsible for Nyasaland." Phyllis was radiant, and she didn't care about the formal wedding at all, and she already regarded herself as Mrs. Nyasaland.

"I will take Lake Tanganyika, and then use Lake Tanganyika as a dowry to marry you!" Roque is also very high-spirited. In Roque's eyes, the Belgians are like chickens and dogs, and they can't hold Niassa at all. The joint attack of the Lan and Yao tribes.

It was only half a month since Leopold II rejected Rock's request. The Rhodesian Northern Division attacked one after another and wiped out four companies of the Congolese servant army on the shore of Lake Tanganyika. The side of Lake Gunicha has been completely controlled by the Rhodesian Northern Division.

At the end of last year, the Congo Free State could not bear the encroachment of the Rhodesian Northern Division, and gathered fifteen companies to prepare to launch a counterattack against the Rhodesian Northern Division.

As a result, Martin commanded the Northern Division of Rhodesia and the Nyasaland Militia to defeat the Congolese colonial army in the coastal city of Kalemie in Tanganyika, killed the generals of the Congolese Free State Fanger and Bae, and wiped out [-] companies of Congolese colonists. Army, and the only teaching camp in the Congo Free State, the whole of Africa was shaken.

Both Fanger and Bae were generals during the colonial period. They made many military exploits during Leopold II's occupation of the Congo Free State, and were taken by Leopold II as his arm. Lakeside was killed by Martin in one fell swoop, which finally made Leopold II clearly realize the gap between the Congo Free State and Nyasaland.

At the same time, the Yao troops led by Lala also made great strides. After they invaded the Congo Free State from Lake Mweru, they were also in full swing. At present, they have surrounded Lubumbashi, an important city in the southern part of the Congo Free State.

Lubumbashi is an important stronghold of the Belgians in the southern Congo Free State. If Lubumbashi is lost, the Belgians will lose control of the southern Congo Free State. This is absolutely unacceptable to Leopold II.

So on the day the Yao troops surrounded Lubumbashi, Leopold II expressed his willingness for peace to Rock through the British government.

It's a pity that Rock did not agree to Leopold II's request. The reason is of course very simple: everything that is currently happening in the Congo Free State has nothing to do with Nyasaland, so Rock has no ability to stop what is happening in the Congo Free State. war.

At this time, the mercenaries formed by Leopold II in Belgium had just arrived in the Congo Free State.

This mercenary is only 3000 people, and now even Leopold II does not think that this mercenary can stabilize the situation in the Congo Free State.

But Ethan Barrett, the leader of this mercenary army, obviously didn't think so.

"Give us some time, at least give us a chance to fight the Nyasalands, we can prove that the Nyasalands are just bluffing, we have the ability to defeat them, Africa is the Africa of the white people, not the Africa of the yellow people !” Ethan Barrett was very emotional. When he was still in Belgium, Ethan Barrett hoped to make achievements on the battlefield.

Ethan Barrett is a Belgian, but as a member of the French Third Republic, he participated in the war of aggression against China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces that broke out not long ago.

The performance of the Qing Dynasty in the war of invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces is really speechless, so Ethan Barrett thinks that Rock, a yellow man, is also a hypocritical man. Now, Ethan Barrett hopes to prove that Rock, a Nian Baron Saran is not worthy of his name, which may have allowed Ethan Barrett to enter the noble class.

"Colonel Barrett, I don't mean to offend, but I want to remind you, don't underestimate Lord Nyasaland, he was the one who killed the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition army Joubert, not long ago he supported the Yao people in Portuguese East Africa , just forced the Portuguese to admit defeat. It is estimated that there are no less than 2 Yao people in the Congo Free State. If you fail, you know what it means.” Mitch Moulton, the personal representative of Leopold II, solemnly In other words, he certainly hopes that Ethan Barrett can defeat the Yao people, but this seems unrealistic.

Regarding the strength of the Yao people in the Congo Free State, it is obvious that the Belgians miscalculated.

This is normal. All the Belgians who were defeated by the Yao people will habitually exaggerate the strength of the Yao people, which will make them look less embarrassing. Among the Belgians who were defeated by the northern division of Rhodesia and the Yao people, There are more than [-] Yao people in the Congo Free State, which is not something the current Congolese colonial army can fight against.

In fact, everyone knows that there must be no more than [-] Yao people in the Congo Free State, but because so many people swear by it, Belgian officials estimate that there are at least [-] Yao people in the Congo Free State.

So far, the Belgians have not discovered that the "yellow men" have appeared in the Congo Free State.

This is due to the oil paint commonly used by the northern Rhodesian division. As long as a layer of oil paint is applied on the face, the Chinese look similar to the Yao people.

"Mr. Moulton, I can assure you that if I encounter Nyasalands or Yao people on the battlefield, I will tear them all to pieces!" Ethan Barrett vowed that the Eight-Power Allied Forces' war of aggression against China has given Ethan Barrett's unparalleled confidence.

"Colonel Barrett, I remind you again, don't be so arrogant, Nyasaran people are different from all the Chinese you have encountered before." Mitch Moulton was worried, if Ethan Barrett On the battlefield like this, Mitch Moulton can almost predict what will happen to Ethan Barrett who encounters the Nyasalan on the battlefield.

"No matter what, Baron Nyasaland is just a yellow man. Do you believe that Joubert was really killed by that yellow man? This is just a means used by the British to attack the Boers. I will let that Ni Baron Asalan has shown his true colors, he will definitely make a fool of himself, and let the whole world see his true nature." Ethan Barrett is already jealous, and now no matter what other people say, Ethan Barrett will not will believe.

Speaking of this, Mitch Moulton had no choice but to let Ethan Barrett go to Kalemie.

To be honest, Mitch Moulton didn't want to believe that the Nyasaland people, or the Yao people, could wipe out fifteen companies of the Congolese colonial army within four hours.

Note that it is a complete annihilation, not a rout, which means that nearly 1800 people in the fifteen companies of the servant army were all annihilated within four hours, and not a single person escaped.

Mitch Moulton would rather believe that the entire army was annihilated because of the mutiny of the Congolese colonial army than that the Nyasalan or Yao people were so powerful.

By the way, more than 1800 people were actually wiped out, because there were nearly 3000 Congolese slaves who went to Kalemie with the fifteen companies of the colonial army. two.

-

When Ethan Barrett led the mercenaries to Kalemie, Martin led the troops to Kalemie, monitoring the captured Congolese colonial army and Congolese slaves reforming Kalemie.

Mitch Moulton guessed right, Martin did fail to wipe out the Congolese colonial army.

It's not that he can't, but he doesn't want to. Martin needs to transform Kalemie with manpower, and transform Kalemie into a port city that meets the standards of Nyasaland, so that the northern Rhodesian division can use Kalemie as the center to move freely to the Congo. Inland attack.

"Wharves, warehouses, sewers, residential areas, military camps—is it necessary for the streets to be 50 meters wide?" Isiah Ulysses was a little skeptical. A 50-meter-wide street is about the same as Little Rock. This is the Congo Freedom Bang, it's not Nyasaland's territory yet.

"50 meters is not enough. Reserve enough space now so that there will be no more trouble in the future. Kalemie is already our territory, so look farther away." Martin said Rock's tone and demeanor He has learned a lot, but Rock rarely smokes a cigar when he talks, and Martin never leaves his cigar.

"Kalemie is not our territory yet." Isiah Ulysses couldn't help complaining.

"That's right—by the way, we're going to change Kalemie's name and erase all traces of the Belgians, so that Kalemie will completely become our territory. What's the new name? You're Sanhes Graduated from the Royal Military Academy, think about it." Martin generously relinquished the naming rights.

The Sandhurst Royal Military Academy was approved by King George II in 1741. Winston graduated from the Hearst Royal Military Academy, which is one of the four famous military academies in the world.

Oh oh oh, Frunze has not yet been established, so Hearst Royal Military Academy is one of the three major military schools in the world.

"Let me pick it up? Well, just call Ulysses." Isiah Ulysses was so angry that it was too much fun.

"Ulysess? Not bad, much better than Kalemie." Martin has no objection, Ulysses is Ulysses, anyway, it sounds better than "Martin Port".

Martin, they might be mistaken for boots.

　Sorry, it's late again, I have guests at home, and I'm helping people choose volunteers. I never thought that I, a scumbag, would have a day to help people choose volunteers——
