Although Phyllis is usually careless, when it comes to the Johannesburg Textile Factory, Phyllis still attaches great importance to it. For a period of time, Phyllis's enthusiasm for work surprised even Roark. During this period, Roark and Felice
Liz has stayed in Nyasaland, and Phyllis' work enthusiasm has only slightly weakened.
However, Phyllis has always 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 a living.
That's what Phyllis values most.
Of course, Stoudemire and Phyllis are also very familiar with each other. 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 is very good.
very good.
In the past, Xiaosi would take the initiative to say hello when he saw Felice, but today he couldn't say hello. After all, Xiaosi wanted to steal Felice's business, so he felt very guilty when he saw Felice, and he was very capable of taking the stolen goods.
of guilty conscience.
Felice didn't seem to notice Xiao Si's embarrassment, and generously brought the freshly brewed tea to the two of them, and even took the initiative to pour it for Xiao Si.
Xiaosi's face turned red and he finally couldn't help but said: "Sorry Felice, I also want to develop Rhodesia. You know, Rhodesia is far behind Nyasaland and Transvaal."
"
Rhodesia is indeed lagging behind Nyasaland and the Transvaal, but developing Rhodesia cannot harm the interests of the Transvaal. In any case, Rhodesia and the 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 break the current balance easily." Phyllis's words were also hidden, and the implication was naturally.
Warn Xiao Si that if Xiao Si wants to get involved in the textile industry, then Felice will also develop the food processing industry, and in the end both parties will lose.
Xiaosi could still bargain when facing Rock, but he was helpless when facing Felice. After a few seconds of silence, Xiaosi sighed: "Forget it, I will give you the Rhodesian textile factory as my gift."
Sorry."
This is really generous. A textile factory costs more than ten or two hundred thousand pounds, and now it is given away without blinking an eye. Stoudemire is also decisive in his work now, and he is gradually becoming like the old Cecil Rhodes.
appearance.
"No, I will double the amount you spent and transfer it to you." Phyllis was also very open-minded. A dozen or two hundred thousand is just a small amount of money. If it affects the relationship between Rock and Stoudemire, it will be more than worth the loss.
Phyllis was very sober at this point.
On April 20, the Fort Glory troops finally seized the opportunity and surrounded and annihilated a company of the German 35th Division near Kigoma in the northern North Sea.
At that time, this company was ordered to clean up the Tanganyika people near Kigoma. As a result, it was lured into the encirclement prepared by the troops of Fort Glory. After half an hour of fierce fighting, this unit composed entirely of German whites was completely annihilated.
All 125 officers and soldiers from the lieutenant to the company commander were killed.
As soon as the news came out, the whole of Tanganyika was shocked.
The 2nd Tanganyika Division that was completely annihilated before was just the Tanganyika Servant Army. Everyone knew that the colonial Servant Army was not effective in combat, so the 2nd Tanganyika Division was surrounded and annihilated, and Tanganyika's 2nd Division was not defeated.
The Germans realized how bad the situation had deteriorated.
Most Germans in Tanganyika believe that despite the growing momentum of the Glory Castle rebels, in fact the Glory Castle rebels are just a mob. As long as local reinforcements arrive in Tanganyika, the Glory Castle troops will instantly fall apart.
.
As a result, the troops now composed entirely of white men were surrounded and annihilated just like the previous 2nd Tanganyika Division, and the battle only lasted for just half an hour. This fully proved that the Fort Glory troops did not have no chance against the German regular army.
If more companies are attacked by the Glory Castle troops in the future, I am afraid that the 35th Division will have no choice but to return to Usombra in order to preserve its strength.
That also meant that the Tanganyika German Army failed once again in its encirclement and suppression of the Fort Glory troops.
And with every defeat, the morale of the Tanganyikad Army will be greatly affected, and the Fort Glory troops will also change from the "Fort Glory Rebels" to their current name. As time goes by, the name of the Fort Glory troops is expected to change.
This situation was something Erich von Falkenhayn absolutely did not want to see. On that day, Erich von Falkenhayn adjusted his troops to minimize the possibility of their troops being attacked by guerrillas.
Unfortunately, the order has not yet been issued. Bad news came again from the direction of Lake Nyasa. This time it was the 36th Division. The Glory Castle troops adopted the tactic of encirclement and reinforcements, and not only successfully annihilated a company of the 36th Division, but also
Conveniently, they also disabled two companies of the 36th Division that came for reinforcements.
Immediately after the attack, Alva Butler, commander of the 36th Division, went to Erich von Falkenhayn and demanded revenge against the Tanganyika people around Lake Nyasa.
"We lost a total of 257 officers and soldiers, so we should execute 2,570 Tanganyika people and resolutely prevent this from happening again." Alva Butler was also ruthless. If one German soldier died, ten would be killed.
Tanganyika people were buried with him.
Lawrence Elsey, the former Chief of Staff of the 35th Division who succeeded Terry Dunlop as the temporary commander of the 35th Division, said at this time: "In the past month, at least 200,000 Tanganyika people died.
If we still want to get enough labor to develop Tanganyika, then we cannot kill people at every turn now, and we should aim our guns at our enemies, not at unarmed civilians."
Lawrence Elsey hated Alva Butler very much. The 35th Division had been severely attrited when it arrived at Fort Glory because it had been frantically attacked by guerrillas along the way.
Lawrence Elsey still remembered that Alva Butler once ridiculed Terry Dunlop, the commander of the 35th Division.
"Those people are not civilians at all. Africans all look the same. If they put down their weapons, they will be obedient citizens. If they pick up their weapons, they will be thugs. We don't understand the way Africans think. Directly using violent means to retaliate against the rebels in Fort Glory is the most effective.
Way." Alva Butler was furious, and now he could finally understand Terry Dunlop's original mood.
It is a pity that Alva Butler has no chance to apologize to Terry Dunlop in person recently. After Terry Dunlop was dismissed from his post, he has left southern Africa and returned to Germany. If Alva Butler wants to apologize, he can only write a letter or send a text message.
Report.
Both of these methods are actually a bit perfunctory. Apologizing should still be done in person, so as to gain the other party's understanding.
"So what do you mean? Kill all the Tanganyika people near Lake Nyasa?" 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 expeditionary force headquarters would throw all the Boers within thirty miles of the attack into concentration camps.
, regardless of whether they are related to the attack.
Alva Butler obviously wanted to use this method to warn the Africans in Tanganyika.
"Come on, even if the British kill all the Boers, with the British population, the British government can easily fill the Transvaal and Orange with immigrants; but what about us? Since Frankfurt fifteen years ago
Tanganyika officially became a German colony. Over the years, despite Berlin's best efforts, the number of Germans in Tanganyika still does not exceed 100,000, which is very telling." Lawrence Elsey retorted, Germany
What is needed is not the territory of Tanganyika, but free labor within Tanganyika.
"The development of the Transvaal relied on the Chinese from the 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 Chinese are willing to immigrate to the Transvaal is because of 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 are willing to immigrate to Tanganyika.” Lawrence Elsey is not optimistic about the future of Tanganyika. In fact, at the current level of the war, Berlin may
Additional reinforcements are needed to restore stability to Tanganyika.
The more troops mobilized, the more military expenditures are needed. The German government is eager to spend every mark for the sake of the arms race. The current 50,000 reinforcements are already the best efforts of the German government. If this cannot quell the rebellion in Fort Glory, then
The German government will consider abandoning Tanganyika.
"That's enough, everyone, our current target is the Glory Castle rebels. At this time, we can only choose to trust our comrades and focus more on our work." Erich von Falkenhayn was also very happy.
Helpless, in fact, the initial confrontation between the 35th Division and the 36th 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 messed up. The confrontation between the 35th Division and the 36th Division has reached a level that affects work. This is absolutely unacceptable to Erich von Falkenhayn.
.
"That's right, so we have to retaliate against the Tanganyika people and show our attitude so that we can quell the rebellion in Tanganyika. The British also did this during the Boer War, so we have the current South
African Federation." Alva Butler circles back to the starting point.
Lawrence Elsey also wanted to reorganize it, but was stopped by Erich von Falkenhayn: "If you want to do it, just do it, don't look forward and backward."
There was really no way out for Erich von Falkenhayn. A conflict broke out between Tanganyika and Nyasaland. Tanganyika had already changed coaches twice. Erich von Falkenhayn didn't want to
