Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 547 Boundary

The arrival of Von Trota brought a significant change in the morale of the Tanganyika German army.

It has to be said that Nyasaland put too much pressure on Tanganyika. The previous high-level German army in Tanganyika was already devastated in the face of Nyasaland's pressure, and they were simply unable to organize an effective counterattack.

However, as whites, the Germans also have their own pride. Although Germany is still in a weak position towards the UK as a whole, but towards Nyasaland, which is mainly composed of Chinese, the Tanganyika German army has extremely complicated emotions. It doesn't matter if it is an old empire, but Nyasaland has not been a baron of Nyasaland for a long time, so why is Nyasaland getting better and better now, but Tanganyika has been standing still.

It's not fair!

This was especially felt when Feng Trota observed Xuanwu City.

Xuanwu City, as an outpost for Rock to develop northern Nyasaland, has always been the most important city in northern Nyasaland. After the Rhodesian Northern Division was established, Xuanwu City became the headquarters of the Rhodesian Northern Division. Xuanwu City has undergone a new round of development.

Although the current Xuanwu City is not big, it is well planned. Like all other cities in Nyasaland, the road standards are very high. The width of the main roads in the city is more than 50 meters. The trees, green belts, and sidewalks are well-organized. The contrast with the roads in Tanganyika is really stark.

In Tanganyika, even in the center of Usumbula, there is no road traffic condition like that of Xuanwu City.

Feng Trota would definitely not think that Nyasaland deliberately built the roads of Xuanwu City so well in order to disgust the Tanganyika people.

Armed with experience in German Southwest Africa, after Fontrota came to Tanganyika, the first thing he did was to set up a blockade line on the border between Tanganyika and Nyasaland, prohibiting the Any circulation of people between Gurnichas.

Then Feng Trota registered the Taitera people in Tanganyika and asked for assistance from Germany to counter Nyasaland's increasingly obvious advantages in the North Sea.

There are about [-] Tatera people in Tanganyika.

The reason why he took in these Tatera people in Tanganyika before was to cause trouble for the Congo Free State.

Now the Congo Free State has become the Belgian Congo, and Nyasaland's strong intervention has turned Tanganyika's expansion in Lake Tanganyika into an overall defense, and the importance of those Tatera people continues decline.

Tanganyika once tried to use the Tatera people to create trouble for Nyasaland, but unfortunately it failed. It added a lot of free labor to Nyasaland for nothing, so registration is only the first step. Tanganyika's human resources will not be wasted at will, and these Tatera people can play a greater role.

For example, the construction in Tanganyika.

Feng Trota can be regarded as a bold move, planning to build a pure military city in the territory of Tanganyika opposite Xuanwu City, facing Xuanwu City tit for tat.

However, construction requires a lot of funds. Tanganyika does not have such a strong capital force as Nyasaland, so it can only ask for assistance from Germany.

The crux of the problem is that Germany itself is simply unable to provide enough assistance to Tanganyika.

With the strength of the United Kingdom, it is still stretched by the arms race, let alone Germany, which has just been unified for not many years.

Although Germany now has some overseas colonies, most of these overseas colonies have not produced benefits. Only German Southwest Africa last year exported more than imports. Tanganyika needs assistance from Germany every year. In order to maintain the German colony in Tanganyika.

In other words, the time for Germany to acquire these colonies is too short, and now all of them are losing money, and it is impossible to effectively transfuse blood for Germany.

Therefore, the reply from the German government disappointed Feng Trota. Not only could the German government fail to give Tanganyika enough help, but instead asked Feng Trota to maintain Tanganyika's situation as much as possible, and in the shortest possible time. , to provide a large amount of steel and other resources needed to build dreadnought ships to Germany.

Feng Trota finally realized the situation facing Tanganyika. There is no steel factory in Tanganyika, and there is even only one steel factory in the whole of Africa, which is the Fawalt Iron and Steel Factory in Transvaal. It is absolutely impossible for Ka to send the ore to Fawalt for smelting, so Feng Trota has to think of other ways.

Feng Trota's solution has not yet been figured out, and new frictions have occurred on the border between Nyasaland and Tanganyika.

This time it was either in the North Sea, or near Xuanwu City on the shore of Lake Nyasa.

As I said before, near Xuanwu City, there is no obvious dividing line between Nyasaland and Tanganyika. The default dividing line is an unknown river.

The problem is that it is a seasonal river, semi-dry during the dry season and floods and often changes course during the wet season.

In mid-July, Xuanwu City experienced continuous rainfall for a week, and the border river diverted again, moving nearly 100 meters north.

This also means that the border of Nyasaland has been pushed forward by another 100 meters.

The distance of 100 meters is not worth mentioning compared to the land of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. However, although the land area is large, there is no extra inch. Therefore, the 100 meters will immediately become the Nyasaland military and tanks. The focus of Gurnicha's military.

The Rhodesian Northern Division responded the fastest. The river had just changed its course and the rain had not stopped. The officers and soldiers of the Rhodesian Northern Division immediately crossed the original river and started patrolling. They also hired workers to repair the river. Use the current river as the dividing line between Nyasaland and Tanganyika.

Of course, the Tanganyika military did not recognize the current boundary river, so the patrol forces of both sides had frequent physical conflicts.

Fortunately, both sides still had restraint. Neither of them took the initiative to use weapons, and the friction was limited to a certain extent.

This level of "friendly exchanges" is actually more beneficial to the Northern Division of Rhodesia.

With the arrival of Gurkha mercenaries, now Rhodesia Northern Division also has a force composed of Gurkha mercenaries. At the beginning of this year, the Rhodesian Northern Division accepted nearly 2000 Gurkha mercenaries to form a new The fourth regiment is based in Xuanwu City.

These Gorkha mercenaries came to Nyasaland for a short time, and they were still afraid of the German white officers and soldiers in Tanganyika, and they did not establish enough psychological advantages, so they were quite reluctant to communicate.

However, after two or three friendly exchanges, the Gurkha mercenaries finally realized that the whites are strong outside but capable in the middle, and they were gradually able to correct their mentality when facing whites.

In several exchanges at the end of July, the Rhodesian Northern Division won a complete victory, the patrol troops of the Tanganyika Second Division had bruised noses and faces, and there was another serious incident of "lost" military horses.

The loss of military horses is absolutely unacceptable to Feng Trota, so the Tanganyika Second Division carefully formulated a revenge plan.

Nyasaland is indeed very strong in terms of infrastructure. It was not long before the boundary river was diverted, and Nyasaland has completed the reinforcement of the river.

Of course, the reinforcement is limited to the river channel on the Nyasaland side, and Nyasaland on the Tanganyika side will definitely not take care of it. In this way, if the boundary river is diverted again in the future, it will still advance northward, and then Nyasaland will Can expand naturally.

This is simply God's old man giving face.

Due to the frequent rain recently, the cavalry of the Rhodesian Northern Division habitually wear raincoats when patrolling.

The raincoat distributed by Rhodesia Northern Division is a large cloak-style raincoat. The cost of this raincoat is a bit high, but it works very well. It is not only easy to use, but also has outstanding protection capabilities. It is also beautiful in style. Rhodes The officers and soldiers of the North West Division like it very much.

The officers and soldiers of Rhodesia’s northern division were really too arrogant during this period. There were two cavalrymen riding horses with the brand of the Tanganyika military on their buttocks. Obviously, this was the Tanganyika cavalry “lost” a few days ago. "The army horse.

And a Tanganyika cavalryman was also wearing a raincoat that was only issued by the Northern Rhodesian Division, which made the patrol team of the Northern Rhodesian Division red-eyed.

Needless to say, the raincoats on the Tanganyika cavalry were also "accidentally lost" by the northern Rhodesian division.

Fighting? It's normal to win and lose, but if you openly use it like this, it is an obvious provocation.

So it was just a few glances, and the conflict broke out again.

The Rhodesian Northern Division attaches great importance to cooperation in normal training. The small cooperation between two or three people is very skillful. The Germans fight on their own, and the Nyasarans form a team advantage in groups, and they knock down one in three or two seconds. , the scene immediately fell to one side.

The squad leader of the cavalry squad didn't even get off his horse, watching his men beat the Germans to pieces, this is how the troops' confidence was slowly built up.

Usually at this time, when the outcome has already been decided, the two sides will stop fighting in a tacit understanding, and then go back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

Today's Germans are very tenacious. Even if the situation is completely one-sided, they have no intention of stopping.

The squad leader was about to call a stop, when suddenly there was a dense sound of horseshoes in the distance.

The squad leader immediately understood that this was a trap. Even if the Germans came to support them, they would not come so quickly.

"Stop, stop, withdraw—" the squad leader called out to his men who were still fighting with the Tanganyika cavalry.

They couldn't get away anymore, even if the muddy Germans had bruised noses and swollen faces, they still wanted to cling to the Nyasaland cavalry and prevent the Nyasaland cavalry from getting away.

A Nyasaland cavalry managed to get rid of a German cavalry. Just as he struggled to stand up from the mud, he was directly hit by a galloping horse.

"Stop! Fuck—" The squad leader blushed instantly, and took out a pistol from the quick-draw holster on his chest. He was about to fire a warning shot, but was caught by a German soldier who was over-secreted by adrenal glands and dazed. Gun down.

This shot completely shattered all the achievements of Bilov's visit to Nyasaland.
