If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence.
This sentence is also true among the Taitaila people. Although these Taitaila people are resigned to the situation, it is not that they have no complaints about their current life. It is just because no one took the initiative to stand up to resist the tyranny of the Germans, so Taitai
Those who pull people will be gentle and obedient.
Once someone jumps out to resist the tyranny of the Germans, the resistance of the Tetera people can really be said to start a prairie fire. They originally fled from the Congo Free State to Tanganyika because they resisted the Belgian colonization. As a result, the Germans are now better than the Belgians.
People were even more outrageous, so after Mumu stood up and slashed at the Germans with a knife, almost all the Tetera people followed Mumu and rushed towards the German camp.
In the current situation, if you don't resist, you will definitely die, but if you resist, there may still be a chance of survival, so these Tatera people really have nothing to hesitate.
As the turning point of German colonization in Tanganyika, the Gloryburg Rebellion occupies a significant place in history.
145 German officers and soldiers died, and nearly a thousand Tetera people rebelled, which was enough to have subversive consequences for the German colonial rule in Tanganyika.
Regrettably, after the rebellion at Fort Glory, the Tanganyika government and military made foolhardy moves. They first did not appease Huairou, nor did they send troops to encircle and suppress them.
All the people were executed to prevent the Teterra people from the Glory Castle from getting help.
Incomplete statistics show that at least 1,500 Tetera people were massacred by the Germans at two construction sites near the Glory Castle. The specific number of people has been unknown. The Germans will certainly not retain relevant information, but the news reached Glory.
Fort, Mumu swore a blood oath at Fort Glory, vowing to make the Germans pay with blood.
The blood oath means immortality in the traditional habits of the Tetera people.
In early September, on the construction site of Glory Castle, Mumu and more than 3,000 Taitaila people stood solemnly.
Even though the Germans tried their best to prevent the Teterans from growing stronger in Fort Glory, the number of rebels in Fort Glory continued to increase.
Don't forget that Yaya also has the Tetera people under his command. Whether it is Nyasaland or Tanganyika, the Tetera people are actually double-edged swords. If used well, they can have an effect.
Unexpected effects, if used incorrectly, will harm yourself.
Not only are the number of people increasing, but the rebel equipment in Fort Glory is also increasing.
Originally, the rebels in Fort Glory only had more than a hundred rifles, but almost overnight, almost every rebel in Fort Glory had a gun.
Von Trotta still doesn't know the equipment of the Glory Castle rebels, otherwise Von Trotta would probably be unable to sleep at night.
The wooden platform that was originally used for executions has now become the altar for Mumu's blood oath. He took off his shirt and the shirtless Mumu knelt in the center of the altar, letting the Tatera wizard draw on Mumu's face.
Complex and mysterious patterns.
This pattern is the oath of the Tetera people. After drawing the pattern on the face, the pattern on Mumu's face cannot be erased as long as there are Germans in Tanganyika.
"What a strange ceremony." In the original German camp, William Clare, who had become a member of the Glory Castle rebels, couldn't help but sigh.
William Clare was also Yaya's subordinate. As a white man, William Clare also wanted to copy Louis Brod's miracle, so he voluntarily came to Tanganyika and joined the Glory Castle rebels.
"No matter what, this is very helpful for improving morale." Eddie Bunian, a member of the staff, was also watching the ceremony. Eddie Bunian was not Yaya's subordinate, but came from the Kingdom of Mozambique under the leadership of Zha Zha.
Zhazha followed Roque's order and named the country Mozambique.
What Roque didn't expect was that Zhazha actually proclaimed himself king and established the Kingdom of Mozambique.
Fortunately, although Zhazha has become the king now, he is quite obedient to Roque and never dares to disobey Roque's orders. Whether Anton comes to Zhazha for people or resources, Zhazha will satisfy him unconditionally.
Of course, Anton will not let Zha Zhabai work. There is almost no industry in the Kingdom of Mozambique and it is very dependent on the support of Nyasaland. Zha Zha and the nouveau riche of the Kingdom of Mozambique have a great demand for Nyasaland’s luxury goods.
Anton will also meet these requirements unconditionally.
Eddie Bunian is nominally Zha's subordinate and a senior staff officer of the General Staff of the Kingdom of Mozambique. As for why he appeared in Tanganyika, this is of course also the operation of the Nyasaland General Staff.
Mumu is a qualified warrior, but by no means a qualified leader, so Mumu also needs a group of staff to advise the Gloryburg rebels. Otherwise, when von Trotta mobilizes the army, the Gloryburg rebels will soon
It was a total defeat, not even with the help of Nyasaland.
"If you have time to paint your face, why not try to get some new equipment? Look at what kind of junk Nyasaland's father gave you, Schneider, Peabody, Martini Henry, and even a Sharps rifle
, was the Northern Rhodesian Division equipped with Sharps rifles?" William Clare couldn't help complaining, and the title "Papa Nyasaland" was also very vivid.
"It is true that the Northern Rhodesian Division was not equipped with Sharps, but the Portuguese used Sharps." Eddie Bunian understood the situation very well.
To be more precise, these weapons used by the Honorfort rebels were sent by Eddie Bunian.
Nyasaland's equipment for the Fort Glory rebels will definitely not provide the standard equipment of the Northern Rhodesian Division, which would be tantamount to actively giving the clues to the Germans.
In order to find these scraps, Anton also put a lot of effort into it. The Nyasaland Arsenal even restarted a bullet production line just to produce bullets for use in these weapons of the last century.
"What we need now is not rifles, but general-purpose machine guns and rapid-fire cannons." William Clare thought a little too much.
"Don't even think about general-purpose machine guns and rapid-fire cannons. Maxim or Powder cannons are still possible." Eddie Bunian is more realistic. General-purpose machine guns and rapid-fire cannons are the standard equipment of the Northern Rhodesian Division. Nyasa
The Lan Arsenal also wants to make money, and it will definitely not be provided to the Glory Castle rebels for free.
In fact, it is not free. Although the rebels do not have to pay now, if the rebels drive the Germans out of Tanganyika in the future, the new Tanganyika government will have to pay for the support of Nyasaland.
By then, Nyasaland's gains will far exceed the costs paid now, just like Roque's support of Zha Zha's rebellion against the Portuguese. Without Roque's contribution at that time, there would be no Port Edward today.
This is normal. After all, this business is still very risky. If you are not careful, you will lose all your money. Therefore, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
The key is that this kind of risk is still within the range that Rock can bear. It is good that the Gloryburg rebels can successfully drive the Germans out of Tanganyika. Even if the Gloryburg rebels are eliminated, they can still attack Tanganyika.
Tanganyika will cause heavy losses, and at the very least it will slow down the development of Tanganyika.
This is enough. The First World War has not yet broken out. It is impossible for Rock to send troops to attack Tanganyika. During this period, Rock's main purpose is to maintain the advantage of the Nyasaland Marine Police in the North Sea. The account can be slow
Calculate slowly.
While Eddie Bunian and William Clare were chatting, the ceremony on Mumu's side had already been completed.
Mumu, who had shaved off his hair and eyebrows, had his entire upper body, including his head, covered with intricate patterns. Three Tatera wizards were dancing a mysterious dance around Mumu, mumbling words.
When the dance ended, the three Tatera wizards knelt down to Mumu, and all the surrounding Tatera people also knelt down after the wizards.
Mumu stood up slowly, and used a sharp machete to slash his forehead hard. Blood instantly poured out, and the pattern on Mumu's face was immediately dyed red with blood.
Perhaps it was because the sun had just risen. The sunlight shining on Mumu's face had a very sacred meaning.
"I swear that the Germans will be driven out of Zanzibar." Mumu solemnly swore, and the surrounding Tetera people immediately became excited.
In 1856, the coastal area of Tanganyika was once part of the Sultanate of Zanzibar. In 1870, the Nyamwezi people established a country in Tanganyika. From 1884, Tanganyika was gradually controlled by Germany. In 1890
, Tanganyika became a German colony.
Strictly speaking, the Tetera people are not natives of Tanganyika, but natives of the Congo Free State, so Mumu needs to find a suitable identity in order to legitimately oppose the German colonization of Tanganyika.
This "Zanzibar" is the excuse that Eddie Bunian and William Clare found for Mumu, just like Zhazha initially used the Mweni Matapa Kingdom as an excuse to oppose Portuguese colonial rule, etc.
Mumu successfully expelled the Germans from Tanganyika. What kind of country Mumu will establish by then still depends on Rock's mood.
It is estimated that it will still be Tanzania. As for whether it will become the Kingdom of Tanzania, it also depends on Roque's mood.
The current rebels of Fort Glory still need more training. These people are also prone to adrenaline hypersecretion. After completing the blood oath, some Tatella people can't control their emotions and actually take the initiative to shoot into the sky.
Eddie Bunian and William Clare shook their heads. Compared with the well-disciplined Northern Rhodesian Division, this was a bunch of ragtag people, even worse than the Tanganyika servant army. They expected this group of people to drive the Germans away.
Go ahead, Eddie Bunian and William Clare still have a lot of work to do.
However, there was not much time left for Eddie Bunian and William Clare. After the Glory Castle rebellion broke out, von Trotta began to mobilize troops to prepare to encircle and suppress the Glory Castle rebels.
However, Germany was not strong in Tanganyika, and von Trotta did not even have enough troops, so he could only ask for support from Germany itself.
The German government is now fully engaged in the arms race and has no spare power to support Tanganyika. Therefore, the German government has transferred troops from Southwest Africa to support Tanganyika.
It is actually not easy to mobilize troops from Southwest Africa. After all, Rhodesia and Nyasaland are separated from Southwest Africa and Tanganyika. Therefore, if troops from Southwest Africa want to support Tanganyika, they have to bypass most of it.
Africa.
At this time, we can see the advantages of having many colonies.
