Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 577 Cold Palace

Although Phyllis is usually careless, but when it comes to the Johannesburg textile factory, Felice still attaches great importance to it. For a while, Felice's enthusiasm for work surprised Roque. Phyllis' enthusiasm for work has only slightly decreased since Si stayed in Nyasaland.

However, Phyllis has been paying attention to the Johannesburg textile factory. This is not because of how much money the textile factory can make, but because Phyllis can help many people through the textile factory. After all, many people rely on the work of the textile factory to make ends meet. That's what Phyllis values ​​most.

Of course, Stoudemire and Phyllis are also very familiar. Sometimes it is normal for Stoudemire to joke with each other when he stays at Rock’s house for dinner. Phyllis is even a pen pal with Stoudemire’s wife. The relationship between the two families very good.

In the past, Stoudemire would take the initiative to greet Phyllis when he saw Phyllis, but today he couldn't say hello. After all, Stoudemire wanted to steal Phyllis's business, so when he saw Phyllis, he felt very guilty, very kind of stolen and won. guilty conscience.

Phyllis didn't seem to notice Xiaosi's embarrassment, so she generously brought the freshly brewed tea to the two of them, and even poured it for Xiaosi.

Stoudemire's face turned red, and finally he couldn't help but contemplate Ai Ai: "Sorry Phyllis, I also want to develop Rhodesia, as you know, Rhodesia lags far behind Nyasaland and Transvaal It's-"

Compared with Nyasaland and Transvaal, Rhodesia is indeed backward, but the development of Rhodesia cannot harm the interests of Transvaal. In any case, Rhodesia and Transvaal are both southern Africa a part of.

"I know Cecil, of course you have your reasons, but I have to remind you that we have finally found a way to get along with each other, don't easily break the current balance." Phyllis's words are also hidden in the needle, and the implication is naturally Warn Stoudemire, if Stoudemire wants to get involved in the textile industry, then Phyllis will also develop the food processing industry, and in the end it will only be a loss for both sides.

Stoudemire was able to bargain when facing Rock, but he was helpless when facing Phyllis. After a few seconds of silence, Stoudemire sighed: "Forget it, I will give you the textile factory in Rhodesia as my sorry."

This is really generous, a textile factory, no matter what, it costs more than ten or two million pounds, and now it is given away without blinking. Stoudemire is also decisive in doing things now, and gradually has a little old Cecil Rhodes. look.

"No, I'll double the amount you spent and transfer it to you." Phyllis was also very open-minded, a dozen or 20 was just a small amount, and if it affected the relationship between Rock and Stoudemire, it would not be worth the loss.

Phyllis is quite sober at this point.

On April NO.20, the Honor Fort troops finally seized the opportunity to encircle and annihilate a company of the No.30 Fifth Division of the German Army near Kigoma in the northern part of the North Sea.

At that time, this company was ordered to clean up the Tanganyika people near Kigoma, but was lured into the encirclement circle that the Fort Honor troops had set up in advance. After half an hour of fierce fighting, this army composed of all white Germans was completely annihilated. All 125 officers and soldiers from the lieutenant company commander were killed.

As soon as the news came out, the whole Tanganyika was shaken.

The Tanganyika Second Division, which was wiped out before, was only the Tanganyika servant army. Everyone knew that the colonial servant army was not good at fighting, so the Tanganyika Second Division was encircled and wiped out, and Tanganyika's army was not let down. The Germans realized how bad the situation had become.

Most of the Germans in Tanganyika believed that despite the growing momentum of the Fort Honor rebels, the Fort Honor rebels were actually a rabble. As long as the local reinforcements arrived in Tanganyika, the Fort Honor troops would collapse in an instant .

As a result, the army composed of all whites was surrounded and annihilated like the previous Tanganyika Second Division, and the battle lasted only half an hour. This fully proves that the Honor Fort troops were not without chance when they were in the regular German army. If more companies are attacked by Fort Honor troops in the future, I am afraid that the No. 30 Fifth Division will have to return to Usumbulah in order to preserve its strength.

That also meant that the Tanganyika German army's encirclement and suppression of Fort Honor's troops failed again.

Every time they lose, the morale of the Tanganyika German army will be greatly affected. The Honor Hold troops have also changed from "Honor Fort Rebels" to the current name. Given time, it is estimated that the name of the Honor Hold troops will change.

This situation was something Erich von Falkenhayn absolutely did not want to see. On the same day, Erich von Falkenhayn adjusted his troops to minimize the possibility of the troops being attacked by guerrillas.

It's a pity that the order has not yet been issued, and bad news came again from the direction of Lake Niassa. This time it was No.30 Sixth Division. Then they disabled two companies of the No.30 Sixth Division who came for reinforcements.

Immediately after the attack, Alva Butler, the commander of the No. 30 Sixth Division, went to Erich von Falkenhain and demanded revenge on the Tanganyika people around Lake Nyasa.

"We lost a total of 257 officers and soldiers, so we should execute 2570 Tanganyika people and resolutely prevent this from happening again." Alva Butler was also ruthless. If one German soldier died, ten Tanganyika was buried with him.

Lawrence Elsey, the former Chief of Staff of the No.30 Fifth Division, who succeeded Terry Dunlop temporarily as the commander of the No.30 Fifth Division, said at this time: "In the past month, at least 20 Tanganyika people died. If We also want to get enough labor to develop Tanganyika, so we can't just kill people now, we should aim our guns at our enemies, not unarmed civilians."

Lawrence Elsie hated Alva Butler very much. The No. 30 Fifth Division had been attacked by guerrillas along the way, and when it arrived at Fort Honor, the number of personnel was reduced severely.

Lawrence Elsey still remembers that Alva Butler had taunted Terry Dunlop, commander of the No. 30 Fifth Division.

"Those people are not civilians at all. Africans all look the same. If they put down their weapons, they are obedient citizens, and if they take up arms, they are thugs. We don't understand the way of thinking of Africans. It is most effective to use direct violence to retaliate against the Honor Hold rebels. Way." Alva Butler was furious, and now he could finally understand Terry Dunlop's original mood.

It's a pity that Alva Butler has no chance to apologize to Terry Dunlop in person in the near future. After Terry Dunlop was dismissed, he has left southern Africa and returned to Germany. Alva Butler can only write a letter or send a message if he wants to apologize. report.

These two methods are actually a bit perfunctory. Apologizing should be done in person, so as to gain the understanding of the other party.

"Then what do you mean? Kill all the Tanganyika people near Lake Niassa?" Lawrence Elsey deliberately misinterpreted Alva Butler's words.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon. During the Boer War, if the expeditionary force was attacked in the Transvaal or Orange, the command of the expeditionary force would throw all the Boers within ten miles of the attack into concentration camps. Regardless of whether they were related to the attack or not.

Alva Butler obviously wanted to use this method to warn the Africans in Tanganyika.

"Come on, even if the British kill the Boers, with the total population of the UK, the British government can easily fill the Transvaal and Orange with immigrants; but what about us? Since Tanger 15 years ago Nika officially became a German colony, and for so many years, despite Berlin's best efforts, there are still no more than 10 Germans in Tanganyika, which is very telling." Lawrence Elsey retorted, Germany needs It is not the territory of Tanganyika, but the free labor in Tanganyika.

"The development of the Transvaal relied on the Chinese from Qing Dynasty, and had nothing to do with London." Alva Butler also knew the situation in the Transvaal.

"So what do you want to say, we can also introduce Chinese to enrich Tanganyika? Sorry, the reason why some Chinese are willing to immigrate to the Transvaal is the joint efforts of Lord Nyasaland and Cecil Rhodes Jr. As a result, there is not even a high-ranking Chinese official in Tanganyika, and no Chinese is willing to emigrate to Tanganyika." Lawrence Elsey is not optimistic about the future of Tanganyika. Additional reinforcements are needed to restore stability in Tanganyika.

The more troops mobilized, the more military expenditures will be required. The German government can't wait to spend a single mark for two for the arms race. The current [-] reinforcements are already the best effort of the German government. If this can't put down the Fort Honor rebellion, then The German government would consider abandoning Tanganyika.

"That's enough, everyone. Our target now is the Honor Hold rebels. At this time, we can only choose to trust our comrades in arms and focus more on work." Erich von Falkenhayn was also very pleased Helpless, in fact, the confrontation between No.30 Fifth Division and No.30 Sixth Division was deliberately created by Erich von Falkenhayn, so that it would be more conducive for Erich von Falkenhayn to control the troops.

It's a pity that Erich von Falkenhayn screwed up. The confrontation between No.30 Fifth Division and No.30 Sixth Division has reached the point of affecting work. This is absolutely unacceptable to Erich von Falkenhayn. .

"That's right, so we want to retaliate against the Tanganyika people and show our attitude so that we can quell the rebellion in Tanganyika. The British did the same thing during the Boer War before, so we have the current southern region." Commonwealth of Africa." Alva Butler circled back to the starting point.

Lawrence Elsey wanted to argue, but was stopped by Erich von Falkenhayn: "If you want to do it, do it, don't look back."

It is true that Erich von Falkenhayn has no way out, since the conflict broke out between Tanganyika and Nyasaland, Tanganyika has changed coaches twice, Erich von Falkenhayn does not want to Was thrown into limbo.
