What made Anton and Martin angry was that the War Office knew that new troops had arrived in the Belgian Congo, but failed to alert the Northern Rhodesian Division.
Frank did not explain that it was normal for the Belgians to send more troops to the Belgian Congo. When Frank received the information, he did not know that the mercenaries were going to set an ambush for the patrol of the Northern Rhodesian Division, and they regarded it as a normal rotation.
, so the Northern Rhodesian Division was not alerted.
However, after this incident, an intelligence sharing mechanism should be established between the Northern Rhodesian Division and the War Office, which would be more conducive to cooperation between the two parties.
Roark didn't care how Anton and Frank cooperated. After receiving the telegram, Zhazha came to Port Edward as quickly as possible. While listening to the teachings, he also brought Roark a shipload of ivory and two lions and two leopards.
, and two aye-ayes that are almost extinct.
Aye-ayes are not only as big as fingers. Juvenile aye-ayes are indeed about the size of fingers. Adult aye-ayes are about the size of cats, with a body length of about 50 cm, a tail length of 60 cm, and a weight of about two kilograms.
The aye-aye gets its name because of its peculiar middle finger and ring finger. Its middle finger and ring finger are as thin as wire, but extremely hard and can be used to pick up food.
In Madagascar, there is a superstitious saying that when the aye-aye appears in a village, it will bring disaster to the village. Therefore, the aye-aye is almost extinct in Madagascar, and the number of aye-ayes on the African continent is also getting smaller and smaller. p>
Roque didn't have much special feeling about aye-ayes, but Felice liked these little animals very much, so Roque was going to send a telegram to Liang Dingxin, asking Liang Dingxin to find a way to get some pandas for Phyllis. Compared with the pandas
,Aye-ayes are really not that cute.
Zhazha was very humble when he saw Rock, just like the first time he met Rock, he knelt down and kissed Rock's shoes.
It seems that Zhazha's life is really good during this period. Compared with the last time we met, Zhazha's body is a little fatter and his face is more shiny. The clothes he wears are loose silk, just like Arabs.
It’s almost the same kind of robe.
When Zhazha sat down, Rock accidentally discovered that Zhazha was not wearing underwear, so Rock immediately gave Zhazha a hard kick and asked Zach to bring a set of military uniforms from the Northern Rhodesia Division to Zhazha.
Put it on.
Probably because this move had some special meaning, Zhazha's eye circles were a little red, and he started to change his clothes in front of Roque.
Fortunately, there are no maids around Rock, otherwise this scene would be really eye-catching.
After changing his clothes, Zhazha was finally able to see, and only then did Rock feel in the mood to talk.
"Are you going to be a local emperor in this life?" Luo Ke still has some requirements for the Yao people. It doesn't matter if Zhazha himself can't make progress. It would be a pity if those Yao warriors just sink like this.
The Yao warriors are actually quite good. Although Africans have some problems, the Africans today have not been spoiled. Although they do not have a strong sense of responsibility and do not work hard enough, they are still fine with some rougher jobs.
For example, being cannon fodder.
Although Rock now has the Northern Rhodesian Division and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, cannon fodder is still indispensable. Rock is definitely not willing to let Chinese soldiers be cannon fodder, and it is unrealistic to let white soldiers be cannon fodder, so
Africans are the best choice. Compared to the Zulu people, Rock still trusts the Yao people more. After all, the British are nominally the masters of the Zulu people, and Zhazha has always regarded himself as Rock's servant.
.
"Lord, you have the final say on who I am, and I will do whatever you ask me to do." Zhazha's attitude is very upright, and even though he has more than a hundred wives and dozens of children, this has not changed. "Do you really have more than a hundred wives?" Xiao Si was more curious about these gossips.
"Absolutely--" Zhazha smiled honestly, but what he said was very irritating. He probably didn't even know how many wives he had. If there were more than ten, Zhazha probably couldn't count them.
"Then you are really awesome!" Xiaosi couldn't help but sigh.
Stoudemire's wife is also from a noble family and stays in Salisbury most of the time. Rock and Stoudemire have such a good relationship that they only met Stoudemire's wife at the wedding.
The British are better in this regard. No matter how many lovers they have, they only have one wife, and generally they will not get divorced. This is the way most British families get along.
"After I go back, I plan to establish a country, and the name will be called Mozambique." Roque gave up communicating with Zhazha, and it would be better to give orders directly.
"Mozambique, okay, we have a port called Mozambique." Zhazha is right, what Rock says is what he says, but his focus is a bit strange.
"Whether you want to be the president or the king, if you don't know how to manage the country, I will send people to help you manage it. You form the army first, and I will send people to help you train." Rock established it directly according to his own will.
Mozambique, as for what kind of monster Mozambique will become in the future, that is not within Roque's consideration.
"Of course it is to be a king. I like to be a king." Zhazha subconsciously chose a way that is more beneficial to him. There are more kings these days, and there are not many democratic countries in the world.
"Very good, then you will be the king. Now go out and wash yourself clean. What does it smell like on you? You can't smell it yourself?" Rock was really speechless. Changing clothes didn't solve the problem.
The body odor is worse than the body odor of white people who are said to be biological weapons.
After driving Zhazha out of the office, Rock opened the window to ventilate, and then he felt better.
Stoudemire didn't react much and looked at Rock thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" Rock asked casually.
"Mozambique, is this your ideal country?" Stoudemire now deeply feels the gap between him and Roque. In just a few words, the fate of a nation with a total population of millions is decided. Perhaps even the King of England is not like this.
Great courage.
This is not an exaggeration. After the British implemented a constitutional monarchy, the king's rights were greatly affected. Congress and the government would join forces to restrict the royal family, and the king could not do whatever he wanted.
Of course, compared with the 21st century, the current British king still has great power. In the 21st century, the British royal family has become a mascot. The whole world cares about whether the crown prince has a chance to take over, and does not care about the royal family at all.
Power.
"How is it possible? Of course our constitutional monarchy is better." Roque said this with great regret, but as a British nobleman, Roque must also pay attention to political correctness.
"How can a constitutional monarchy be any better? It's just jumping from one mud pit into another." Stoudemire sighed. He is not an aristocrat anyway, so it doesn't matter whether he is politically correct or not.
However, Stoudemire was not too entangled, and his attention quickly shifted to other aspects: "How are you going to help Mozambique, just like Rhodesia helped Nyasaland?"
When Rock just got Nyasaland, Stoudemire did give Rock a lot of help. Without Stoudemire's help, Rock would not have been able to build Nyasaland to its current level in such a short period of time.
.
Of course, Stoudemire's help is not free. Now Rhodesia's goods are flowing unimpeded in Nyasaland. Rock will not repeat investment in any industry that Stoudemire is involved in. Rhodesia now has Cecil...
The seaport that Rhodes dreams of, this seaport alone is enough to satisfy Xiaosi.
"I didn't ask you to help train the army -" Roque didn't accept Xiao Si's favor, and Roque had already paid off the favor debt he owed: "When the Portuguese just signed an agreement with the Yao people, I reminded Scum.
You scum should stay vigilant and prepare to conquer Tanganyika. Look what this guy did. With more than a hundred wives, he is not afraid of dying of exhaustion in bed. This guy just needs to be dealt with. You don’t need to whip him to drive him away.
It just goes around in circles."
Rock also hates Zha Zha, but from another perspective, this is also a good thing. If Zha Zha is a talented person, then Rock has to be wary of Zha Zha now. Zha Zha is pretty good now, but he doesn’t have much ideals. He doesn’t
No matter how powerful he is, Rock can safely push Zhazha to a higher position without worrying about Zhazha losing control.
Of course, there is another possibility. Maybe Zhazha is behaving so badly now just to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
However, this possibility is very small. It’s not that Roque looks down on Zhazha. If Zhazha had a scheming mind, he wouldn’t have been unable to drive the Portuguese out of Portuguese East Africa with the support of Cecil Rhodes.<
/p>
"Aren't you worried that Zhazha will lose control in the future?" Xiao Si still has his usual colonial mentality.
"It's unlikely. As long as Mozambique cannot be self-sufficient, Mozambique will have to rely on us." Roque really isn't worried about this problem.
In fact, European countries have a very good positioning on Africa. Roque now also regards Mozambique as a source of raw materials. After the Yao people became independent, after the initial period of chaos, they began to steadily supply various production materials to Port Edward. Roque built Port Edward.
Most of the stone and wood used come from areas controlled by the Yao people.
The way Luo Ke controls the Yao people is no different from the colonists in European countries. Although Luo Ke also knows that simply processing the wood and stone will save more freight, but Luo Ke still insists on not letting the Yao people process it, even if it will be more expensive.
Trouble, the cost is higher, and Luo Ke does not leave any opportunity for the Yao people to upgrade their industry.
The only thing that the Yao people can be self-sufficient now is food, which has nothing to do with the productivity of the Yao people. In the situation in Africa, even if the Yao people don't farm, they will not die of hunger. In addition to food, any industrial products that the Yao people need are
It needs to be exchanged from Nyasaland. In this case, the Yao people want to escape from Roque's control, unless there is a time traveler among the Yao people.
