Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 552 Federation

The arms race is a comprehensive national power competition. Germany's strength is not as good as that of the United Kingdom. If Tanganyika continues to bleed, it is hard to say how long the German government can last.

Rock's idea is different from that of Earl Selborne. Earl Selborne wants to continue to consume the German government through Tanganyika, but Rock doesn't want Germany to be affected too much. Considering from Rock's standpoint, Rock K hopes that Germany can put more energy on the arms race, so that the world war will break out as scheduled and southern Africa will have a chance.

Of course, this kind of thing must not be said to the Earl of Selborne. On the surface, Roque will definitely consider the United Kingdom wholeheartedly, so Roque agreed very simply: "No problem, I will try to delay the situation in Tanganyika as much as possible." , to draw the greatest attention from the German government—”

"Very good! Locke, work hard, your title should be promoted soon." Earl Selborne was very satisfied with Rock's attitude.

It doesn't matter to Roque. It's the same for a baron, a viscount, or an earl. In fact, there is not much difference. The baron already enjoys all the rights that the nobles have. No matter how high it is, it doesn't matter. It's fine now.

At the end of October, reinforcements from Southwest Africa finally arrived in Tanganyika, and Fonte Rota was finally able to mobilize troops to encircle the Honor Hold rebels.

However, what surprised Feng Trotta was that the rebels who had been entrenched in Fort Honor for several months suddenly disappeared without a trace. So empty, I almost got internal injuries.

After inspecting the camp of the Honor Hold rebels, Fonte Rota concluded that the current total number of Honor Hold rebels should be around 3000, which is generally within the controllable range.

It is impossible for a [-]-scale army to disappear without any reason, so Feng Trota concluded that the Honor Hold rebels were hiding in Nyasaland, waiting for an opportunity to return to Tanganyika.

So the German government and Tanganyika again protested to Nyasaland.

Nyasaland was a little numb from the protests, so he didn't respond to such groundless accusations at all. London newspapers were still reporting on the humanitarian disaster that took place in Tanganyika.

Or hype.

Soon, it turned out that the Honor Hold rebels were not in Nyasaland at all, but in Tanganyika.

On November 120th, a Tanganyika patrol force was attacked [-] kilometers north of Fort Honor. All [-] soldiers and twelve German officers were killed. The second-generation organization was wiped out by the Honor Hold rebels in the field.

The scene was said to be horrible. The Fort Honor rebels took away all their weapons, stripped off the clothes of the servants and German officers, and cut off the arms of the German officers.

Like the way the Germans used to cut off at the elbow.

Obviously, this is the revenge of the Honor Hold rebels against the Germans.

Everyone was shocked by the result of the battle, but this was not the end. On November [-]th, a transport team was also attacked by the Honor Hold rebels. The Honor Hold rebels took away all the supplies they could take away. What cannot be taken away is burned on the spot.

Survivors of the battle confirmed that the Fort Honor rebels had heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns, and could use grenades very skillfully in war. This is not a rabble at all, but a well-trained army.

This situation once again provided strong evidence for Nyasaland to support the Honor Hold rebels. The German government issued an ultimatum to Nyasaland this time. If Nyasaland does not stop attacking the Honor Hold rebels in Tanganyika support, the German government will consider this an act of war.

Rock didn't care about this threat at all. Tanganyika's servant army couldn't even beat the Honor Hold rebels, not to mention the Rhodesian Northern Division, which had the upper hand in equipment and training.

Perhaps at this time, Fonte Rota will reflect on his behavior and regret that he did not deal seriously with the parties who caused all this in the first place.

Of course, it's too late to regret it now, and there is no turning back. Even if Feng Trota turned around and dealt with the stunned young man who shot rashly at that time, Rock would not stop supporting Mumu.

Of course, in the face of the threat of war from the Germans, Roque has also quietly ordered the Rhodesian Northern Division and the newly formed First Cavalry Division to raise their alert levels and prepare for battle. As long as Tanganyika shows that he wants to attack Nyasaland In such a situation, Roque said that he must not take the initiative to attack, keep the enemy out of the country, and will not let the flames of war burn to the territory of Nyasaland.

As for whether it is reasonable and legal to fight first, no one cares about this issue. No matter what you do if you win, it is reasonable and legal. No matter how reasonable you are if you don’t win, no one cares about your reasons.

In mid-November, the four colonies in southern Africa finally reached an agreement on the establishment of a federal government in southern Africa. During this time, Rock was absorbed by Tanganyika, and the Legislative Assembly finally settled in Bloemfontein. The judicial capital was settled in Cape Town, and Pretoria became the administrative capital, all exactly as Lord Selborne had suggested.

In addition to the capital, Roque's other requirements were met. Henry became the Minister of Justice of the federal government, Hopkins became the Minister of Defense of the federal government, and the commander-in-chief of the army, and his rank was promoted to general. Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Deputy Minister of Justice, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and his rank was also promoted to General.

Nyasaland and Rhodesia officially joined the federal government. The newly formed [-]st Cavalry Division was reorganized as the [-]st Division, and the Rhodesian Northern Division was reorganized as the [-]nd Division. The third division and the fourth division stationed in Natal, the National Defense Forces of the federal government, are based on these four divisions. Even if they want to expand in the future, they will also be expanded on the basis of these four divisions.

As the deputy commander-in-chief in charge of specific work, Roque immediately set up the headquarters and the general staff in Nyasaland. The candidate for the chief of staff is ready-made. Major General Derek Dodd from the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy With sufficient qualifications, his military rank at the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy is still a lieutenant colonel, and he is now a major general. If he serves as the chief of staff, his rank is estimated to be promoted to a lieutenant general.

Hopkins is very satisfied with the position of Minister of Defense, and does not interfere with specific affairs. He even has no opinion on the candidates for the newly formed third and fourth division commanders. All the power lies with Rock.

So many people tried their best to fight for a chance to perform in front of Rock.

Rock, however, was not in the mood to talk to those guys, and stayed wholeheartedly in Little Rock to accompany Phyllis and the newly born Alvin.

The name Alvin means "a friend loved by everyone". Rock and Phyllis hope that Alvin can spend his life happily, so they named Alvin this name.

As long as Gavin can grow up, Gavin will be the first heir to Baron Nyasaland. Although Alvin is the second heir to the title, he may not have the chance to inherit in his life, so Rock and Phyllis are very compensatory towards Alvin.

There is no need to worry about this problem. Rock now has a lot of wealth, and he will just give Alvin some more at that time.

Of course, this is on the premise that Rock and Phyllis only have two children, if there is a third——

Still have to keep making money.

"A countess can give birth to girls, why isn't Alvin—" Phyllis hoped that Alvin would be a girl, but unfortunately she didn't get her wish.

Just one month before Alvin was born, Ada gave birth to a girl in Paris. Now Phyllis can accept it. Instead of blaming Rock, she sent her blessings to Ada immediately.

Anyway, it is impossible for Ada's children to inherit Roque's title. Ada herself is also rich, and maybe even Roque's property is not rare.

But when Alvin was born, Phyllis' psychology began to lose balance again. Now Phyllis also understands traditional oriental culture very well, and knows that only a daughter and a son can make up a "good".

"Don't worry, we still have a chance in the future. The key is not to let Alvin know, otherwise Alvin will be sad." Rock lay on the rocking chair, enjoying the quiet afternoon sun.

"Look at your son, he's biting the big guy so badly—" Phyllis now has more sons, and she also looks down on her sons in various ways.

Gavin is playing with the hunk and is interested in the hunk's big ears.

Probably because he felt that simply playing with it was not enough, Gavin bit the big man's ear directly with his mouth, probably because he wanted to taste the taste of the big man's ear.

The big man remained motionless, allowing Gavin to knead casually, occasionally asking Rock and Phyllis for help with helpless and depressed eyes.

Most of them are Phyllis, and Rock obviously doesn't care enough about the big guy.

"It deserves it, this dog weighs more than 60 kilograms now, and if it gets fatter, it will kill and eat meat—" Rock didn't feel bad, he didn't have time to walk the dog during this period, and the big guy was obviously bigger.

"Why doesn't Nyasaland use the imperial system, but the metric system?" Phyllis is very concerned about Nyasaland, even though Nyasaland is now incorporated into the Southern African Federal Government and is no longer Rock's private territory. Phyllis also regards Nyasaland as her and Rock's real home.

"The imperial system is inconvenient to use, and it will be eliminated sooner or later." Rock not only wants to use the metric system in Nyasaland, but will implement the metric system in the entire southern Africa in the future. Even Qin Shihuang knew that the same track and the same text were used by the British. I always like to engage in my own small circle culture, absolutely island thinking.

"When I had tea with Mrs. Dodd yesterday, Mrs. Dodd said that there were rumors that Nyasaland would clean up the Germans. You still have to pay attention." Phyllis's thinking is also very jumpy.

Now the relationship between Nyasaland and Tanganyika is becoming more and more tense. If a war breaks out between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, then according to general thinking, Nyasaland is indeed very likely to clean up the Germans .

But Roque would definitely not do that.
