Chapter 581

When the Nyasaland militia defeated the Belgian mercenaries, Ulysses was still called Kalemie.

After the Congo Free State ceded the North Sea coast, including Ulysses, to Nyasaland, the settlements along the North Sea coast were replaced with names in line with traditional Chinese culture. Ulysses was an exception. The former Belgian garrison The castle was renamed Honor Hold.

So the name is really not a satire of Erich von Falkenhayn.

"It was really not easy for the militia to defeat the mercenaries. I have heard of that battle." Great achievements.

"This way please, today's dinner has prepared traditional German bacon sausages and dark beer, I hope it will make you feel at home." Rock's preparations are still very good, Nyasaland's food is far and near Famous, the same grilled sausage, made by the chefs of Nyasaland, also has a special flavor, which is not inferior to the local chefs in Germany.

Erich von Falkenhayn's attention was obviously not on the food. During the period after disembarking from the ship, Ulysses' urban construction had left enough shocks for Erich von Falkenhayn , After arriving at Fort of Honor, this kind of shock reached a new level.

In fact, Africa in this era has always given the impression that it is desolate and backward, and it is basically two concepts from the civilized world.

Ulysses has changed Erich von Falkenhayn's impression of Africa. As a former Belgian colony, many buildings of Ulysses have obvious Gothic style and become part of Nyasaland After that, most of the buildings in Ulysses were in Victorian style. These two styles of buildings are said to be irrelevant, but in Ulysses they formed a very strange balance. Everyone who has been to Ulysses Everyone in Seth was amazed.

Ulysses' Fort of Honor is a fusion of Gothic and Victorian styles. Gothic architecture is famous for its towering, weird, and mysterious architecture, while Victorian style uses a lot of new building materials, which has obvious characteristics of the industrial revolution.

The main building of the Fort of Honor is a Gothic style castle, but the supporting buildings are all Victorian style red bricks and reinforced concrete. The decoration inside the castle is mainly in the traditional British style, plus neatly uniformed guards And the maid, Erich von Falkenhain was really feeling the pressure.

Erich von Falkenhayn's visit to Nyasaland was not made public this time, so not many people attended the dinner, only Erich von Falkenhayn and two officials from Tanganyika , there are only Rock and Sidney Milner on the southern African side.

After drinking for three rounds, Erich von Falkenhayn finally said the purpose of this trip: "My lord, I know that there was some friction between Tanganyika and Nyasaland before, and I hope that we can Forget those unpleasant things as soon as possible, after all, we don't want things to evolve to a degree that we can't control."

Rock just smiled and said nothing, and didn't respond to Erich von Falkenhayn's statement at all. According to what he said, Erich von Falkenhayn hadn't accepted the reality, or he was pretending Posture, whatever the case may be, is not in the interest of Nyasaland or Southern Africa.

On the contrary, Sidney Milner spoke sharply: "General Falkenham, we in southern Africa have always hoped to maintain friendly relations with Tanganyika, but it seems that some people in Tanganyika don't think so. If you understand the situation, You will know that in the current situation, most of the responsibility lies with you in Tanganyika, and it is not that we in southern Africa intentionally caused trouble."

It’s hard to say on this question. It seems that it’s not clear who is right at this point. Erich von Falkenhain has only been in Tanganyika for a few months. Even if Tanganyika is responsible, Not much to do with Erich von Falkenhayn.

Not to mention, Erich von Falkenhayn would never admit that Tanganyika is responsible for the current relationship between southern Africa and Tanganyika.

That's why Erich von Falkenhayn's attitude is also very firm: "The current relationship between Southern Africa and Tanganyika is rooted in Nyasaland's support for the Honor Hold rebels, Lord Nyasaland , put yourself in the shoes, what would you do if Tanganyika supported the rebels in Nyasaland?"

This question seems difficult to answer, but for Rock, he did not hesitate: "There will never be a rebellion similar to that in Tanganyika in Nyasaland!"

This conclusion is a bit arbitrary, but it is normal for Nyasaland. Even if there are people in Nyasaland who oppose Rock's authority, the Nyasaland military and police can easily quell the individual behavior of a few people. There is simply no chance to grow.

In this regard, Erich von Falkenhayn obviously has no confidence. The Honor Hold rebels were not many at the beginning, but they have grown step by step to today's level. Of course, there is Nyasaland's support among them. The incompetence of the Tanganyika military is also an important reason, otherwise the Honor Hold rebels would have no chance of receiving support from Nyasaland.

"Face the reality, General. The reality now is that the Tanganyika military has absolutely no ability to quell the rebellion in Tanganyika. If you want, I can contact the Fort Honor troops. Let's sit down together and discuss how to Settle the Tanganyika problem," Sidney Milner suggested, which elicited a glare from Erich von Falkenhayn.

Negotiating with the rebels is tantamount to admitting defeat for the Tanganyika military. The German government has invested tens of millions of marks in order to stabilize the situation in Tanganyika, and it is impossible to accept this result.

"Of course, if you disagree, then you must be prepared for a protracted war. There is no possibility of relaxation between the Tanganyika government and the Fort Honor troops. If the mainland continues to increase troops, then Tanganyika may return to its previous state. It depends on how determined you are.” Sidney Milner was not in a hurry, and now it was Erich von Falkenhayn who should be in a hurry.

"Okay, of course we can sit down and have a chat. We also need to listen to the voices of the Honor Hold rebels." Erich von Falkenhayn agreed to contact the Honor Hold troops for some unknown purpose.

Rock and Sidney Milner looked at each other and smiled, and then Rock nodded to Zach next to him. Zach opened the door of the restaurant with his head held high, and Mu Mu had been waiting outside the door.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mumu from the Honor Hold Army. It's a pleasure to meet you all—" Mumu was interrupted by a loud shout just after introducing herself.

"Damn bastard, go to hell—" A German military officer who accompanied Erich von Falkenhayn to see Rock suddenly picked up the table knife and swooped at Mumu.

Fortunately, Erich von Falkenhayn and his entourage were disarmed when they entered the Hold of Honor, otherwise they would not have dared to walk on the road.

"stop!"

"Don't move!"

"Put down the knife—"

There were countless stern shouts in the banquet hall, and the surrounding guards took out their guns and aimed at the German officer holding a table knife. If Rock and Sidney Milner were not a little closer to the German officer, they might have died now. Someone shoots.

All eyes were on Mumu.

Mumu actually wears a side pistol on his body, but it is obviously unnecessary for Mumu to use a pistol when dealing with German officers.

When the German officer rushed over, Mu Mu stepped sideways, then took a step forward, and punched the German officer on the neck heavily.

The German officer didn't react at all and was knocked unconscious to the ground.

"Sorry, I'm not used to people pointing at me—" Mumu was also very cold, clapping her hands as if nothing happened, Shi Shiran went to sit opposite Erich von Falkenhain, and smoothly Tuck a napkin into his collar.

It's just that this movement is really not very standard, but it is this kind of rough and informal, which fully expresses Mumu's toughness.

Erich von Falkenhain looked at Mumu calmly, but the hand holding the wine glass was trembling, because it was so hard that the veins were exposed and the joints were pale.

"General Falkenham, look forward to it for a long time—" Mumu was also very calm, the German officer just now was lying on the ground, Mumu didn't care at all, as relaxed as if he had slapped a mosquito to death.

"General Mumu, hello—" Erich von Falkenhain finally calmed down, put down the cup, pulled off the napkin and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, looking at Mumu with complicated eyes.

Roque said that Nyasaland had nothing to do with the Fort of Honor troops, but Mumu actually appeared directly in Ulysses' Fort of Honor, which is enough to prove the relationship between Nyasaland and the Fort of Honor troops.

But Erich von Falkenhayn could not use this as an excuse to accuse Nyasaland. This time Erich von Falkenhayn's visit to Ulysses was kept secret. Everyone knows that the German army in Tanganyika has been unable to maintain the situation in Tanganyika, and it is William II who will lose face in the end.

"Let me just say it straight, General Falkenhayn, if you want a truce, then there is the current actual occupied area as the demarcation line. The Honor Hold troops nominally obey the leadership of Tanganyika, but the Tanganyika government cannot interfere with the Glory The specific affairs of the Honor Fort troops." Mumu still saved face for Erich von Falkenhain, otherwise the Fort Honor troops are now eligible to demand independence.

"Impossible, the Honor Hold rebels don't have the right to negotiate with Tanganyika at all. You must first lay down your arms, and then we can discuss how to deal with the Honor Hold rebels." Erich von Falkenhayn disagreed. Concession, regardless of whether Mumu agrees to this request, Erich von Falkenhayn first expressed his attitude.
