Unlike Nyasaland, which can advance and retreat freely, the Germans have no retreat now. If they take a step back, they will lose the entire Tanganyika. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Germans, so Erich von Falkenhayn will definitely not
To prevent Alva Butler from retaliating against the Tanganyika people, as Alva Butler said, this method of revenge was also used by the British during the Boer War, and the effect was pretty good, so Erich von
Not only did Falkenhayn not stop him, he also looked forward to Alva Butler performing miracles.
But Erich von Falkenhayn probably didn't notice that the reason why Britain did that during the Boer War was because the total population of the Boers was only 440,000 and could not withstand such cruel attrition, so
Only after the British carried out retaliatory actions did the Boer coalition head to the Cape to continue the guerrilla war, staying away from the Transvaal and Orange, without giving the British a reason to target ordinary Boers.
The Fort Glory troops in Tanganyika are essentially not Tanganyika people at all, but the Tetera people of the Congo Free State, so the Glory Fort troops probably won’t care about the Tanganyika German army’s revenge on Tanganyika.
As a commoner in Kazakhstan, Erich von Falkenhayn was destined to be disappointed.
Despite Lawrence Elsey's objections, Alva Butler carried out brutal revenge on the Tanganyika people near Lake Nyasa.
To put it bluntly, all invaders are the same in this matter. Germany also followed the standard "Three Guangs Policy" when retaliating against the Tanganyika people. They took away everything they could and what they couldn't.
Burn them all, and use explosives to blow up those that cannot be burned. As for people, needless to say, only able-bodied adults have the opportunity to enter the concentration camp to serve as laborers. Children and the elderly do not even get such an opportunity.
When the news came out, British and French newspapers immediately launched a new round of hype about the German atrocities in Tanganyika.
Of course, the German media was not to be outdone, so the shameful things that happened in Britain during the Boer War were also published in newspapers by the Germans to criticize the British government.
It’s a pity that Germany and Britain and France are different in size. German newspapers can basically only be sold in Germany and cannot go abroad. However, newspapers in Britain and France cover a larger area and have stronger influence. So on the surface, this news war is
One-sided, like the war in Tanganyika.
Facts have proved that the troops of Fort Glory really did not care about the Tanganyika people in Tanganyika. Not long after Alva Butler carried out retaliatory actions against the Tanganyika people near Lake Nyasa, it was less than a month away from Usombula.
A German settlement 100 kilometers away was attacked by the troops of Fort Glory.
What needs to be explained here is that although Germany’s colonial rule in Tanganyika was centered on Usombula and Safe Harbor, there were actually many settlements composed of German immigrants in Tanganyika. These residents
The points are mainly distributed in the eastern coastal area of Tanganyika and around Lake Victoria in the north. After the Gloryburg rebellion broke out, most German immigrants abandoned their farms and went to Usombula and Safe Harbor to escape the war, but there were still some German immigrants.
I was unwilling to give up the farm I had worked so hard to develop, and placed all my hope on God.
The German settlements in Tanganyika are quite unique. In order to prepare for possible attacks, each settlement is actually a militarized castle. The Germans initially connected the entire Tanganyika through countless castles.
.
The strong castle gave the German immigrants enough comfort. There were more than 300 Germans in the attacked settlement. In order to protect their farms, these Germans bought a lot of weapons from Usombula, even women and children.
After receiving a certain degree of military training, these farmers even armed the Africans on the plantations in an attempt to use the Africans to protect their farms.
As a result, when the Fort Glory troops arrived, the Africans on the farm took the initiative to open the gate of the castle, and disaster befell the Germans in the castle.
How did the Germans retaliate against the Tanganyika people at Lake Nyasa, and now they were repaid in full by the Fort Glory troops.
And unlike the Germans' revenge on the Tanganyikans, the Germans did not have much interest in African women, but the Africans were very interested in German white women, so the results were horrific. It is said that more than 20 women retreated to
On the highest attic, when the troops of Fort Glory set the attic on fire, they would rather be burned alive than lay down their weapons.
This time the British and French media finally showed their double standards. When the Germans retaliated against the Tanganyika people in Lake Nyasa, the British and French media hyped it up.
Now that the troops of Fort Glory are attacking German settlements, the British and French media have turned a blind eye and made no reports at all.
In the past few days, newspapers in the UK and France have been reporting on the Olympic Games being held in London. The Olympic Games were originally held in Rome. However, due to many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Italy in the past two years, the economy suffered heavy losses, so Rome decided to
Due to financial difficulties and the inability to build competition venues, it was announced that it would give up the right to host the competition, and then London took over.
The Southern African Federation also sent a delegation to the London Olympics this time, but the members of the delegation were all selected from Cape State. Nyasaland did not participate at all for some reasons, so Roque was not concerned about whether the Southern African Federation delegation could win.
What kind of results.
“During this period, Orange and Southwest Africa had very frequent exchanges. Last month, Southwest Africa sent people to Orange to visit Orange’s public schools. This month, Delale went to Southwest Africa in a private capacity. We don’t know yet.
"The purpose of De La Lai." Sam's current office is also in Little Rock. After the establishment of the Southern African Federal Government, the responsibilities of Umbrella and Brad were further clarified. Umbrella is mainly responsible for foreign business, while Brad is mainly responsible for domestic affairs.
"Keep an eye on him!" Rock said concisely. Nyasaland is supporting the rebellion in Tanganyika, and the Germans will definitely find ways to retaliate. In the Southern African Federation, the Boers may be the only hidden danger, and they are most likely to be
The Germans took advantage.
During the Boer War, Delale was also a famous Boer general. After the peace negotiations, Delale was excluded from the new government and lost all rights.
It was obvious that Delale was unwilling to accept this. When the federal government of Southern Africa was established, Delale approached Roque and tried to enter the Ministry of Defense and return to the center of power. However, Roque rejected him again.
Roque didn't know if Delale would hold a grudge against this, and even if he knew, Roque wouldn't care. Roque hopes that the restless elements in the Southern African Federation will take the initiative to jump out. This is all within the scope of Roque's work.
Of course, Roque certainly had no intention of forcing him to rebel against Delaleh. The main reason for rejecting Delaleh was because Delaleh was no longer suitable for the current federal government. Louis Botha and Jan Smuts were also former Boer coalition forces.
Generals now also hold important positions in the federal government, but the main issue is their ability.
"I have sent a team to follow Delale to Southwest Africa, but it is difficult to get close to Delale. Delale is very vigilant, and the people around him are all Delale's men during the Boer War. Even if they are
It is also difficult for Delalai to truly trust the Boers." Sam also tried his best, but there were still some omissions.
"There cannot be any blind spots in our monitoring. Not only Delaleh, but also Schalk Biegel, Byers, Delaleh, and Kemp. These people must be closely monitored, but don't act rashly -" Rock said early
I wanted to catch all these people in one fell swoop, but unfortunately I never found the chance.
"Actually, Delaleh is in southern Africa now -" Sam didn't finish his sentence, obviously he meant something.
Roque understood immediately, but after thinking about it, Roque shook his head slightly: "No, we don't know Delale's purpose yet. Maybe Delale is just traveling to Southwest Africa. Without real evidence, we still have to be cautious.
"
Although Delale has been excluded from the federal government of Southern Africa, he still has a certain reputation among the Boers. If he died in Southwest Africa without any explanation, it would definitely have a certain impact on the federal government.
Now that Roque is in a high position, he can't do whatever he wants. In the past, an insignificant Delale would be dead, but now Roque has to pay attention to principles in doing things, otherwise this kind of thing is likely to become vicious.
cycle.
Don’t forget that most of the senior officials of the federal government in southern Africa are British people who are close to Rock. The Boers only have a few people such as Louis Botha and Yang Smuts. If Delale dies inexplicably,
In southern Africa, no matter whether Louis Botha and Yang Smuts have evidence or not, the federal government is the biggest suspect.
Although assassinations are common these days, they have never happened in southern Africa. Once assassinations become a means of attacking political opponents, the federal government will fall into chaos, and everyone will be in danger, including Roque.
Put yourself in great danger.
So Roque still has a bottom line. As long as he doesn't find any rebellious behavior in Delaleh, Roque can tolerate such small actions of Delaleh.
"Okay, then just strengthen the control." Sam just suggested, and it was Rock who made the decision whether to adopt it or not.
Now that Rock has made a choice, Sam can only carry out Rock's will. This is a quality that a good subordinate must possess. He cannot hold grudges just because his opinions are not adopted. This has already been done in managing Matilda.
During his gold mining days, Sam already had a deep understanding.
Looking back, when Rock came to report to Ade again, he still mentioned it seemingly casually.
"Send someone to keep an eye on him and figure out his purpose of going to Southwest Africa." Ade's handling method was exactly the same as Roque's, but Ade didn't know yet what kind of intelligence capabilities Roque had now.
