Although Rock has repeatedly emphasized that Nyasaland has never given any assistance to the Glory Castle troops, with Rock's participation, an agreement was quickly reached between Tanganyika officials and the Glory Castle troops.
In order to give an explanation to the German people, the Gloryburg troops joined the Tanganyika German Army and became part of the Tanganyika German Army. Erich von Falkenhayn would give the Gloryburg troops two divisions. As for the
No matter how Mumu reorganizes Erich von Falkenhayn, Tanganyika officials will not be responsible for the military expenses of these two divisions. They will only provide a designation and nothing else.
In exchange, the Tanganyika Governor-General will establish the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region in the border area between Tanganyika and Nyasaland, including Lake Rukwa, appoint Mumu as the chief executive, and accept the appointment of Tanganyika as the chief executive.
Management of the Governor's Palace.
Of course, this "management" is only in name. The Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is actually a state within a state in Tanganyika. Except that it has no diplomatic rights, it has the same status as southern Africa to the United Kingdom.
In fact, he also had diplomatic rights. As a British man, Rock would definitely not let go of the opportunity to disgust the Germans at this time. So on the day the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region was established, Rock asked Anton to set up a
Office, even if the office cannot legitimately carry the name of the embassy or consulate, a preliminary liaison mechanism must be established.
The 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. There is still a lot of work to be done next, so keep working hard. I look forward to your better performance in the future." In Eagle Castle, Rock spoke unscrupulously. Now Nyasaland is
Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is a big creditor. It is estimated that Zanzibar Special Administrative Region will take decades to repay its debts.
The previous assistance provided by Nyasaland to the Glory Castle troops was definitely not free. It was actually a risky investment. If the Glory Castle troops could force the Germans to admit defeat, then Rock could get generous rewards. If the Glory Castle troops were unfortunately defeated by Tanger
If the Nikhad army is wiped out, Rock will lose all his money.
This also means that the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
Now it’s time to harvest. The broken weapons that Nyasaland gave to the Fort Honor troops are actually more expensive than the latest Lee Enfield produced by Nyasaland Arsenal. If interest is added, the price is even more.
About five times that of Lee Enfield.
These are just rifles. Nyasaland’s support to the Fort Honor troops also includes heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars. These weapons are more expensive, plus other military supplies and living supplies, as well as travel to Tanganyika.
For those volunteers who joined the Fort Glory force, the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region now owes Nyasaland a total of 7.5 million pounds.
Seven and a half million pounds is an astronomical figure in this era. To put it bluntly, even if the entire Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is purchased, it is estimated that the money will not be used up. Rock bought it from London under the banner of military expansion.
It only costs five million pounds.
"Lord, you can ask me to charge into battle, but you can ask me to manage a country, but I really can't do it." Mu Mu muttered, not showing how happy he was.
At this time, Mumu actually still had tattoos on his face and body after the blood oath. The content of Mumu's blood oath at that time was to swear to drive the Germans out of Tanganyika, but now the troops of Fort Glory have become tanks.
As part of Gurnicad's army, strictly speaking, Mumu's oath did not really succeed.
"Blood oath" seems to be a trick in Rock's eyes, but both Mumu and Yaya believe it, so Mumu is really worried about whether he will be punished if he fails to fulfill his promise.
Punishment.
"Don't worry, if you are not good at managing government affairs, then hire some knowledgeable people 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 by yourself. Professional things should be done by professionals.
, you just need to control the army." Roque still produces political power from the barrel of a gun.
In fact, in a place like Tanganyika, it is difficult to move forward without an army. Although Erich von Falkenhayn signed the contract very decisively, in fact, the promise given by Erich von Falkenhayn was worthless.
Value, that is, the German army in Tanganyika is now passively beaten and exhausted, and Erich von Falkenhayn has to bow his head. Once the German army in Tanganyika recovers, then no matter who is in charge of Tanganyika at that time,
The commander-in-chief of the German army will immediately launch an attack on Zanzibar.
Of course, if Tanganyika officials take the initiative to tear up the armistice agreement, then if the Tanganyika German army cannot successfully eliminate the Gloryburg troops, then the German army will have no choice but to evacuate Tanganyika.
To put it bluntly, whoever has the bigger fist is right.
Speaking of the troops, Mumu and Yaya both looked expectantly, but neither of them spoke.
Rock thought for a moment before he understood what was going on. There is also a Lion Regiment in Fort Glory. This force can be said to be the most combat-effective force 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 20,000 troops, but they were unable to break through the Lions' defense line.
Of course, most of the more than 20,000 people were colonial servants. The actual number of officers and soldiers killed by the German 36th Division was less than 1,000, and most of them were caused by mortars from the Lion Regiment.
The Lions are a force composed entirely of Gurkha mercenaries, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. However, the biggest problem is that the ownership of this force is not in the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, but in Nyasaland. Previously, Rock
To strengthen the strength of the Glory Castle troops, the Lions were sent to Tanganyika. Now that Mumu has signed a peace agreement with Erich von Falkenhayn, it is assumed that the Lions will withdraw to Niah.
Saran's.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
If the Lions retreat to Nyasaland, once the Germans tear up the agreement, the troops under Mumu’s command really will not be able to withstand the crazy attack of the German regular army.
"What do you think?" Roque took the initiative to seek Mumu's opinion. Now that Mumu is also the top chief executive of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, he still has to give him the face he deserves.
"Lord, if possible, I hope the Lions can stay in the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region. 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 Lions Regiment, and the leader of the Lions Regiment will still be Colonel Wu Ben. This will never change." Mumu thought more thoughtfully, since Roque has always emphasized the importance of military power.
, then Mumu might as well hand over all military power to Roque, so perhaps Nyasaland will continue to provide support to the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region.
There is basically no industry to speak of in the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region. Even the farms originally cultivated by German immigrants were severely damaged in previous wars. With the character of the Tetera people, it is estimated that the farms will be restored.
There is no end in sight, so for a long period of time, the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region will still be inseparable from the support of Nyasaland.
Of course, the current support is definitely not free, so the debt of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is expected to continue to increase. Unless one day Roque shows his kindness and takes the initiative to reduce the debt, otherwise Mumu will probably not ask Nyasaland for the rest of his life.
of foreign debt.
Will Rock take the initiative to reduce the amount?
Definitely not. Roque is a capitalist, not a philanthropist. Unless the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region can bring sufficient benefits to Nyasaland, Roque will not care whether the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region can afford it. p>
It doesn't matter if you can't afford it, you can pay it back slowly, you can also use resources to pay off the debt, or you can export labor services to other countries. Anyway, as long as you find a way, there is no mountain that you can't climb.
Of course, Roque was also very moved by Mumu's proposal. The Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is located between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, which is equivalent to a buffer zone. This also minimizes the number of conflicts between Nyasaland and Tanganyika.
Gurnice Friction.
And if the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region bears the costs of the Lions, it would be equivalent to the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region helping Roque to raise troops. Although the Lions are not large in size, they incur a lot of expenses every month. Zanzibar
The Bar Special Administrative Region does not yet have a stable financial source, so it is really not easy for Mumu to make this decision.
If it were other people, such as Henry and Stoudemire, they would probably yell: Why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my ability!
"Okay, you can go back to General Martin and he will make arrangements for you." So far, Rock is quite satisfied with Mumu's performance, so Nyasaland will definitely continue to support Zanzibar Special in the future.
Administrative district.
"Thank you very much. No words can 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 it takes is a telegram." Mumu's flattering skills
He is also very skilled.
After sending off Mumu and Yaya, during dinner in the evening, Felice looked at Roark and felt displeased.
"I heard that the banker is back -" Phyllis said in a sinister 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 -" To be honest, Roque is still very proud. After all, Ada is the only female ministerial official in the federal government of Southern Africa.
"The vixen crawls pretty fast——" Phyllis herself couldn't explain clearly how she felt about Ada.
From a woman's point of view, Phyllis admires Ada very much, maybe even a little bit of admiration.
But from the standpoint of her wife, Phyllis wanted to dip Ada into a pig cage.
