Chapter 588

Although Rock repeatedly emphasized that Nyasaland had never given any assistance to the Honor Hold troops, with Rock's participation, an agreement was quickly reached between Tanganyika officials and the Honor Hold troops.

In order to give an explanation to the German people, the Honor Fort troops joined the Tanganyika German Army in the form of incorporation and became part of the Tanganyika German Army. Erich von Falkenhayn will give the Honor Fort troops two divisions. As for No matter how Mumu reorganized Erich von Falkenhain, Tanganyika officials would not be responsible for the military expenses of these two divisions. They only provided one designation and nothing else.

In exchange, the Tanganyika Governor's Office will establish the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region on the border between Tanganyika and Nyasaland, including Lake Rukwa, appoint Mumu as the chief executive, and accept Tanganyika Administration of the Governor's Office.

Of course, this "management" is only in name. The Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is actually a country within a state in Tanganyika. Except that it has no diplomatic rights, it has the same status as the United Kingdom in southern Africa.

In fact, there are also diplomatic rights. As a British, Roque will definitely not let go of the opportunity of disgusting Germans at this time, so on the day the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region was established, Roque asked Anton to set up a The office, even if the office cannot justly bear the name of the embassy or consulate, a preliminary liaison mechanism must be established.

On the second day after signing the agreement, Yaya and Mumu rushed to Little Rock to thank Rock in person.

"The establishment of the Special Administrative Region is just the beginning, and there is still a lot of work to be done, so keep working hard. I look forward to your better performance in the future." In Eagle Fort, Rock spoke unscrupulously. Now Nyasaland The major creditors of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, it is estimated that the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region will take decades to repay the debt.

Nyasaland's assistance to the Honor Hold troops before was definitely not free. It was actually a venture capital investment. If the Honor Hold troops could force the Germans to admit defeat, Roque would be rewarded handsomely. If the Honor Hold troops were unfortunately defeated by Tang If the Nikad army is wiped out, Rock will lose everything.

This is also the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Now is the time to harvest. The converted price of the tattered weapons that Nyasaland gave to the Honor Hold troops is actually more expensive than the latest Lee Enfield produced by Nyasaland Arsenal. If interest is added, the price will be even higher. About five times that of Lee Enfield.

This is just a rifle. Nyasaland's support to the Honor Fort troops also includes heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars. The Zanzibar SAR now owes Nyasaland £750m in total to those volunteers who joined forces at Fort Honor.

750 million pounds is an astronomical figure in this era. To put it bluntly, even if the entire Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is bought, it is estimated that the money will not be used up. Rock will only ask for it from London under the banner of military expansion. Just 500 million pounds.

"My lord, you can let me lead the charge, but let me manage a country. I really can't do it." Mu Mu said in a muffled voice, not showing how happy he was.

At this time, Mumu's face and body actually had tattoos left after the blood oath. The content of Mumu's blood oath at that time was to drive the Germans out of Tanganyika, but now the Honor Hold troops have become tanks. Part of Gurnick's German army, strictly speaking Mumu's oath, did not really succeed.

Things like "blood oath" are mostly fools in Roque's view, but both Mumu and Yaya believe in it, so now Mumu is really worried about not fulfilling his promise and whether he will be punished. punish.

"Don't worry, if you are not good at managing government affairs, then hire someone who understands to help you. Don't forget that you are now the chief executive of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region. There is no need to do everything yourself. Professional things should be done by professional people , you just need to control the army.” Rock still gave power out of the barrel of a gun.

It is really a place like Tanganyika. It is difficult to move an inch without an army. Although Erich von Falkenhayn signed it decisively, in fact, the promise given by Erich von Falkenhayn is worthless. Value, that is, the Tanganyika German army is now passively beaten and tired of coping, so Erich von Falkenhain had to bow his head. The commander-in-chief of the German army will immediately launch an attack on Zanzibar.

Of course, if the Tanganyika officials take the initiative to tear up the armistice agreement, then if the Tanganyika German army cannot successfully destroy the Honor Fort troops, then the German army can only voluntarily withdraw from Tanganyika.

To put it bluntly, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

When it comes to the troops, Mumu and Yaya looked expectantly, but neither of them spoke.

Rock thought for a while before he understood what was going on. There is also a lion regiment in the Fort of Honor. This army can be said to be the most effective army in the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region. It performed extremely well in the battle of Dodoma some time ago. The German Eastern Front troops invested a total of nearly [-] troops, but failed to break through the defense line of the Lions.

Of course, most of the more than 2 people were colonial servants. The No. 30 Sixth Division of the real German army killed less than 1000 officers and soldiers, and most of them were caused by the mortars of the Lions.

The Lions Regiment is a force composed entirely of Gurkha mercenaries, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, but the biggest problem is that the ownership of this force is not in the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, but in Nyasaland. To strengthen the strength of the Fort Honor troops, the Lions were sent to Tanganyika. Now that Mumu has signed a peace agreement with Erich von Falkenhayn, it is said that the Lions are going to withdraw to Nia Saran's.

If the lion group withdraws to Nyasaland, once the Germans tear up the agreement, with the troops under Mu Mu now, they really cannot withstand the crazy attack of the regular German army.

"What do you think?" Rock took the initiative to ask for Mumu's opinion. Now that Mumu is also the chief executive of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, he still has to give him the face he deserves.

"Lord, if possible, I hope that the Lions can stay in the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, and I also hope to hire more professional officers from Nyasaland to help the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region complete the reorganization of the troops, Zanzibar The special administrative region will be responsible for the expenses of the lion group, and the head of the lion group will still be Colonel Wu Ben, and this will never change." Mumu is still quite thoughtful, since Rock has always emphasized the importance of military power , then Mumu simply handed over all the military power to Rock, so that perhaps Nyasaland would continue to provide support to the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region.

In the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, there is basically no industry at all. Even the farms originally cultivated by German immigrants were severely damaged in the previous war. With the character of the Tatera people, it is estimated that the farms will be restored. In the foreseeable future, the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region will still be inseparable from the support of Nyasaland for quite a long time.

Of course, the current support is definitely not free, so the debt of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is estimated to continue to increase, unless one day Rock shows kindness and takes the initiative to reduce it, otherwise Mumu will not invite Nyasaland in his life foreign debt.

Will Roque take the initiative to reduce the exemption?

Certainly not, Roque is a capitalist, not a philanthropist. Unless the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region can bring enough benefits to Nyasaland, Roque will not care whether the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region can afford it.

It doesn't matter if you can't pay it back, you can pay it back slowly, you can use resources to pay off debts, and you can export labor services to foreign countries. Anyway, as long as you find a way, there is no mountain you cannot overcome.

For Mumu's proposal, Rock is of course also very excited. The Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is located between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, which is equivalent to a buffer zone, which also minimizes the impact of Nyasaland and Tanganyika. Gurnika friction.

Moreover, if the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region bears the expenses of the Lions Group, it is tantamount to the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region helping Rock to raise soldiers. Although the size of the Lions Group is small, the monthly expenses are also quite a lot. The Baal special administrative region does not have a stable financial source yet, so it is really not easy for Mumu to make this decision.

If it were someone else, such as Henry and Stoudemire, they would probably yell: Why do I have to pay back the money I borrowed with my ability!

"Okay, you can go to General Martin later, he will arrange for you." So far, Roque is quite satisfied with Mumu's performance, so Nyasaland will continue to support Zanzibar as always. administrative district.

"Thank you very much. Words can't describe my feelings. You are such a generous person. No matter what happens in the future, the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region will definitely help Nyasaland unconditionally. All you need is a telegram." Mu Mu's flattering technique Also very skilled.

After sending Mumu and Yaya away, during dinner at night, Phyllis looked at Roque in various ways.

"I heard that the banker is back—" Phyllis drew her tone in a strange tone, but she didn't seem to realize that there was a big problem in her words.

Ada is not from Nyasaland, but from Cape Town, so Ada's coming to Nyasaland is definitely not "coming back".

"Ada is now the deputy minister, from the Ministry of Finance—" Rock is still very proud to be honest, after all, Ada is the only female ministerial official in the Southern African Federal Government.

"The vixen crawls pretty fast—" Phyllis herself couldn't explain how she felt about Ada.

From the standpoint of a woman, Phyllis admired Ada, and perhaps even admired her a little bit.

But from the standpoint of his wife, Phyllis wanted to dip Ida into a pig cage.
