Our home is in Orange, Lord—" Nikella Van Lensberg explained very seriously, and his expression was very sincere, if it wasn't for Roque who knew the details of levitation, then maybe Roque would have believed it.

But now Roque is hehe, waving his hand to let Nikola Vanensburg take care of himself.

Xiao Si gave Victor who was guarding the door a fierce look.

Victor followed Nickra Vanensberg out with a blank face, and as for whether Nickra Vanensberg had no life to return to Orange, hoping that his Lord would bless him.

Nikola Van Arensberg's figure had not yet disappeared into the porch, and Xiao Si cursed a series of things, seemingly angry.

Roque laughed dumbly, some tricksters in the 21st century can deceive a group of people, and people in this era are the same, the more successful people are, the more confident they are in themselves, the more easily they are deceived.

In mid-December, German reinforcements finally arrived in Tanganyika, and the Tanganyika Army launched a series of offensives against the Glory Fort rebels with local reinforcements as the core.

On the twelfth, the 2nd Tanganyika Division set out from Kigoma and launched an attack in the direction of Lake Ruqua.

On the same day, the 1st Division set out from Iringa to attack Fort Glory.

On the 15th, the 1st Division encountered the main force of the Fort Glory rebels near Rujva, and at the height of the battle, the 115th Brigade, composed entirely of Germans, appeared on the flank of the Fort Glory rebels and launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Fort Glory rebels.

The rebels at Fort Glory were unable to resist the flanking attack of the two armies, and suffered a great defeat, with a loss of more than 4,000 troops.

Roque did not know until the 16th that Erich von Falkingham had arrived in Tanganyika on the 10th, but the Tanganyika side did not make a big announcement that the German attack was carried out under the command of Erich von Falkingham.

Only then did Roque realize that he had underestimated Erich von Falkingham, and that the person who could be the chief of the General Staff of the German army really had two brushes.

"Now the 2nd Tanganyika Division occupies Sumbawanga between Lake Rukua and the North Sea, and the 1st Division and the 115th Brigade occupy Mbeya between Lake Nyasa and the North Sea, and the Fort Glory rebels are backlogged in this area of 80 kilometers deep and 300 kilometers wide, and if the Fort Glory rebels cannot break through the blockade of the Tanganyika German army in a short time, then the Fort Glory rebels can only wait to be killed." Derek Dodd didn't expect the situation to collapse so quickly, just ten days ago, Derek Dodd was planning to attack in the direction of Usombra, and now even survival is in question.

"Lord Selborn called, if we can, I hope we can send troops directly into Tanganyika, to hold off the Germans as much as possible, and not to let the Fort Glory rebels be defeated so quickly." A staff officer hurried over with a telegram that the Earl of Selborn had now left southern Africa and was returning to London, unexpectedly keeping an eye on the rebellion in Tanganyika.

This is also normal, the Count of Selborn has now returned to his post in the Admiralty, directly responsible for the construction program of the dreadnought, and if the rebellion in Tanganyika is quickly quelled, it will certainly be detrimental to the British and German arms race.

Although Britain will not lose the arms race, the rebellion in Tanganyika will make it easier for Britain to win.

"Sir, we cannot send troops into Tanganyika unless absolutely necessary." As Chief of the General Staff of the Southern African Federation, Derek Dodd now thinks entirely from the federal government's point of view.

The key is not to send or not, but not to let the Germans catch the handle, if the Nyasaland troops move quickly, with quick hands and feet, destroy a German force as quickly as possible, break the German blockade, and then retreat to Nyasaland before the Tanganyika German army can react, then even if the Germans know about it later, there is nothing they can do with Nyasaland.

It seems that there are many examples of this kind of thing in the military history of the world.

"Lord, if the troops are drawn from our second division, I promise to complete the mission!" Martin took the initiative to ask for battle, and Martin also wanted to see and understand the German troops for a long time.

After winning the Franco-Prussian War, Germany now boasts of being the "world's largest army."

Although the French were not convinced, under the premise of the Franco-Prussian War, the French looked like dead ducks with hard mouths no matter what they said.

Martin does not recognize Germany's "world's first army", since the establishment of the northern Rhodesia division, the officers and soldiers of the northern Rhodesia division, and the Tanganyika German army have had many frictions, the northern Rhodesia division as a whole does not suffer, even if the German local troops are stronger than the Tanganyika German army, Martin believes that the strength is limited, so Martin hopes to fight head-on with the real German troops.

"Martin, you have to pay attention to one thing, the regular army of the German mainland is not the same thing as the servant army of Tanganyika." Roque solemnly reminded that if Martin went to the battlefield with such a mentality, then nine times out of ten he would lose.

The 115th Brigade, which came to support from the German mainland, was composed entirely of Germans, and its combat effectiveness was also outstanding in the German army.

The Tanganyika Servant Army is mainly composed of Africans in Tanganyika, and only the officers are Germans, so the combat effectiveness of the two is not the same thing, and it would be a big mistake if Martin measured the combat effectiveness of the regular army in Germany by the combat effectiveness of the Tanganyika Servants.

"I understand my lord, no matter how strong the fighting power of the native German army is, I guarantee that I will defeat them completely." Martin is confident.

Martin's confidence was not unfounded, and after returning from the gold-plated Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, Roque sent many officers from the Northern Rhodesia Division and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division to study at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.

At the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, the officers of the Northern Rhodesia Division and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division fully understood the current thinking and combat methods of the world's armies.

The more they learned, the more confident they became.

In this era, whether it is the German army, the French army, including the British army, the army's combat method is the tactics of crowds, to put it bluntly, fighting a war is a living pile of people, no matter whether you win or not, this combat method is actually to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800.

Roque emphasized the importance of firepower a long time ago, when the commando team was established in Cape Town, Roque began to consciously popularize the importance of crossfire, and now the 1st and 2nd divisions of the Southern African Federation, even ordinary privates know the importance of crossfire, they all know the use of skirmishers to attack the enemy's positions, and they all know that infantry and artillery must coordinate with infantry and artillery, these experiences are summed up with blood and life in later wars, so Martin is really not afraid of the Germans.

I'm eager to try it.

"The combat effectiveness of the Germans is just like that, although the German troops are equipped with a lot of artillery, but a division of 17,000 people is equipped with 16 heavy machine guns, light machine guns are not at all, and there is no offensive weapons to accompany the infantry advance, once we enter the stage of position stalemate, our firepower can tear the Germans apart!" Martin was murderous and couldn't wait to teach the Germans a lesson.

Compared with the German troops, Nyasaland's armament was significantly more advanced and reasonable.

Take the second division reorganized from the northern division of Rhodesia as an example, the whole division has 11,000 people, equipped with nearly 400 general-purpose machine guns, light machine guns and super revolvers have been equipped to the squad level, and the company level is equipped with 90 mm caliber mortars, although the firing range is a little worse, but both the rate of fire and the power are more than the 75 mm field guns equipped by the German troops, and it is really on the battlefield, mobile and flexible, and the rate of fire is better than Miss 75's 90 mm caliber mortars. It can beat the 75-mm field guns equipped with German troops all over the ground.

As for individual skills and tactics, not to mention, more than half of the soldiers in the second division have shooting results close to or reach the level of accurate marksmen, Nyasaland now has an optical research institute, which can produce its own quadruple sights, with the blessing of the scope, if the German troops dare to put on a crowd tactic in front of the positions of the second division, then what awaits the German troops will be a devastating blow.

That's why Martin's confidence is so strong.

Roque ignored Martin and looked directly at Derek Dodd, after all, he was the chief of the General Staff, and he would definitely give his own advice on this issue.

"Purely in terms of combat effectiveness, we really surpassed the German troops." Derek Dodd did not directly say whether troops should be sent into Tanganyika to participate in the battle, but he still affirmed the combat effectiveness of the second division.

"Then let's make it this way, send the teaching group to secretly infiltrate Tanganyika and launch an attack on Sumbawanga, where the 2nd Tanganyika Division is stationed, and we will tear through the defense line of the German troops from here." Roque clapper.

"Wait, Lord, Erich von Falkingham knows about the sneak attack, and we can copy it—" Derek Dodd is also a cunning man, Erich von Falkingham can be the first year of junior high school, and of course Nyasaland can be the fifteenth.

Roque didn't talk nonsense, and gave Derek Dodeby a thumbs up directly, as for how to copy Erich von Falkingham's way of fighting, that was a matter for the General Staff to consider, and Roque only made decisions and was not responsible for implementation.

The efficiency of the General Staff was still very high, and on the evening of the 18th, the 2nd Division's training regiment left its station and secretly entered Tanganyika, preparing to meet the 2nd Tanganyika Division, which was advancing towards Fort Glory.

When Nyasaland was mobilizing the army, Erich von Falkingham was not idle, and after the Tanganykard army defeated the main force of the rebels at Fort Glory, after only one day's rest, Erich von Falkingham ordered his troops to attack Fort Glory, and they wanted to complete the battle.

On the morning of the 19th, the Teaching Regiment and the 2nd Tanganyika Division met at Fort Helmut, forty kilometers west of Fort Glory.

Helmut is the name of Moltke the Elder, and Tanganyika's use of Moltke's name here clearly has a strong symbolic meaning.
