Arriving in Berbera earlier than the 2nd Cavalry Division were air force units.

Because the rebels did not have an air force, Roque was very relieved to directly mobilize reconnaissance planes and ground attack planes to come over, and there was no air supremacy problem in Somaliland.

It was at this time that Roque realized the benefits of aircraft carriers, and if Roque had an aircraft carrier in his hands, he could directly transfer the aircraft carrier at this time and solve all the problems smoothly.

In the absence of aircraft carriers, the transfer of aircraft is a big problem, only Port Elizabeth has an airport in the entire peninsula, and the current aircraft are limited by technology, even if they attach auxiliary fuel tanks, they cannot fly directly from Port Elizabeth to Berbera, so Roque had to order Ali Rashid to build a temporary airport in the seller, which allowed the plane to transfer from Port Elizabeth to Berbera smoothly.

Fortunately, the requirements for the airport are not too high in these years, just find a flat open space, a little tidying up can take off and land together, it is really not possible to find a piece of grass without potholes.

After the reconnaissance plane came to Bergeisa, it immediately conducted reconnaissance on the rebels between Berbera and Hargeisa, and the result was a slight surprise to Roque, there were no large-scale rebels between Berbera and Hargeisa, or rather, but the reconnaissance plane did not find it, but this possibility is not high.

Unlike the German troops, who had been ravaged by airplanes, the rebels knew nothing about the role of airplanes, so they did not hide from them when they spotted them.

Knowing the situation between Berbera and Hargeisa, Roque was ready to first open the passage between Berbera and Hargeisa and regain control of northwestern Somaliland.

Now the only problem is that Berbera is about 150 kilometers away from Hargeisa, the terrain between the two places is complicated, and not far from Berbera is the continuous mountainous area, and the armored forces are very embarrassed to fight in this complex environment, but the second cavalry division is not highly dependent on armored forces, and before the establishment of the second cavalry division, the mercenaries of the umbrella company have not cooperated with the armored forces, and their performance is still very good.

Although the number of Somaliland's servant troops is small, morale is not high, and loyalty cannot be guaranteed, Colonel George Jensen was still ordered to command the troops to fight with the Second Cavalry Division, in Somaliland, the Second Cavalry Division is a guest army, and is not familiar with the environment in Somaliland.

Of course, before that, the first thing Roque had to solve was the problem of loyalty, so Roque asked Colonel George Jensen to reorganize the servant army and drive out all the soldiers in question to minimize the possibility of accidents.

The guide can guide the 2nd Cavalry Division to find the rebels, or lead the 2nd Cavalry Division into the encirclement of the rebels, so Roque will not hesitate on this issue.

"Sir, if we do this, we probably won't have even a tenth of the soldiers left—" Colonel George Jensen was torn between what he said, he knew that Roque had a point, but if he did what Roque said, then Colonel George Jensen could not afford the consequences.

Think about it, in a force of less than 2,000 people, only about 200 people have guaranteed loyalty, not to mention whether there are any doubts about the "loyalty" of these 200 people, what does this situation mean?

Illustrate the dereliction of duty of Colonel George Jensen!

At the very least, there is no escaping a dereliction of duty.

"George, even if there are only 20 people whose loyalty is guaranteed, it is better than being as confused as it is now, I don't know how you ruled Somaliland before, the Somaliland Protectorate has been established for 30 years, and for 30 years, there are only 200 soldiers whose loyalty is guaranteed, how did you do it?" Roque is really speechless, even if the British government does not pay attention to Somaliland, out of the protection of the Suez Canal, there are millions of pounds allocated to the Somaliland Reserve every year, even if it is smashed with money, it can smash some Somalis into a leading party.

"Lord, the situation in Somaliland is very complicated, we have also built up a loyal army to the British Empire, but after the rebellion, most of those soldiers loyal to the British Empire died in battle, and the current soldiers are basically recruited later-" Colonel George Jensen also suffered, according to the habit of British colonial officials, the annual funds are estimated to be not enough to maintain the operation of the colonial government, and I don't know how much money can be used to encircle the Somalis.

"Don't worry that there will be no one available in the future, I have transferred a group of Gurkha mercenaries from Port Elizabeth, and let them take charge of the work of those servant troops first." Although Roque was no longer the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, he still had great power in his hands, and although Winston did not give Roque a formal position, he gave Roque full responsibility for the suppression of the Somali insurgency, and squeezed out five million pounds from the extremely difficult finances to Roque.

Winston's only demand was that all the rebels in Somaliland be wiped out.

It doesn't matter what method Roque uses, if Roque bundles up all the rebels and throws them into the Red Sea, it is estimated that Winston will be a little happier.

"That's great, I'll do it right away." With Roque's endorsement, Colonel George Jensen finally stopped suffering from gains and losses.

Berbera's servant army camp is not far from the port, from the construction of the camp, it can be seen that Colonel George Jensen is still very attentive, the soldiers' barracks are built of solid stones, the seaside environment is relatively humid, the erosion of the sea breeze has great damage to the building, the kind of wooden house common in southern Africa, it is no problem to use it for more than ten years in the inland area, and the life span will be directly halved in the coastal area.

Now, port cities in southern Africa are gradually replacing wooden houses with stronger reinforced concrete buildings.

When Colonel George Jensen arrived at the Servant Army camp, Angel brought ten armored vehicles to cooperate with Colonel George Jensen's "Purity" operation against the Servant Army.

The servant army camp in Berbera really opened Angel's eyes, and from the first moment she entered the door, Angel did not have the slightest affection for the servant army.

In southern Africa, no matter how remote the barracks, there are guards at the door at all times, and usually, the guards are dressed in gorgeous dresses, and the Lee Enfield they carry may not be special, but the bayonets must be cold and shiny, the military boots must be spotless, and the wind buckles on the collars and the drawstrings of the steel helmets must be neat.

When the armored convoy led by An Qi arrived at the servant army camp, there was not even a guard standing guard at the gate of the camp, let alone the military appearance, the gate of the military camp was actually closed, and the first armored car honked its horn at the door for a long time before two lazy soldiers came over to open the gate of the barracks.

As the convoy drove into the barracks, Angel noticed that two of the guards, presumably guards, were not carrying rifles, one of them did not even have an outer belt on the outside of his uniform, and the other soldier did not wear his shoes properly, and the heels of the shoes were under the soles of his feet.

Neither of the two guards was wearing hats, and when the armored car lined up to enter the barracks gate, one of the guards couldn't help but yawn, and then he choked on a mouthful of dust, and the guy actually put down his saluting arm and slipped into the duty room—

Such a guard, if it appeared in southern Africa, then all the officers of the entire army would be responsible from top to bottom, and the chief officer would definitely be dismissed.

Colonel George Jensen arrived at the barracks and immediately called a meeting of all the officers.

Compared with the lazy and unscrupulous soldiers, the officers' military appearance is still good, at least their clothes are neat, and their beards are well trimmed, but this does not hide the fact that they are derelict in their duties.

Unsurprisingly, Colonel George Jensen's announcement of the downsizing of the troops immediately caused unanimous dissatisfaction among the officers.

"We're only a few people left now, if we want to streamline, then we can simply disband—" A middle-aged Humpty Dumpty man who also wore the rank of colonel said bluntly, from his size, you can see how low he usually asks of himself, not to mention soldiers, even civilians, there are not many people with such a bloated body in these years.

"If we had to ensure the loyalty of the soldiers, we might end up with less than 100 men." Lieutenant Colonel Leander, who sat to the left of Colonel George Jensen, was concerned that he was not yet forty years old, but he looked almost as old as sixty, and that working in Somaliland was a real disturbance.

"I'm afraid that if we announce this, it may cause a mutiny in the troops—" and the officers were pessimistic and disappointed, and mutinies did not happen uncommonly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not my whim, this is the request of the Marquis of Nyasaland, if you have any opinions, please keep it for the time being, don't say that I didn't remind you, the orders of the Marquis of Nyasaland must be strictly enforced!" Colonel George Jensen was very eloquent, and in the British Army, Roque's current position was unshakable.

However, it was clear that there was a lot of criticism about this, and as soon as Colonel George Jensen's words fell, the middle-aged Humpty Dumpty muttered something in a low voice.

"It's louder, I can't hear it clearly!" Colonel George Jensen's gaze was grim.

"I mean, even the Marquis of Nyasaland can't ignore the fact that Somaliland, unless we can kill all the Somalis, we will have to rely on these Somalis to rule Somaliland effectively." The middle-aged Humpty Dumpty is sonorous and powerful, and logically fine.

"I remind you once again Watt, do not question the decision of the Marquis of Nyasaland, the Marquis of Nyasaland is a hundred times wiser than you, in fact I am preparing to do what you say, and now these Somalis are not objects we can rely on, but our enemies!" Colonel George Jensen foamed at the mouth, and to be honest, Colonel George Jensen had endured this situation for a long time.
