No matter how much the Germans in Germany looked down on the Qing Dynasty, the Germans in Tanganyika had a clear understanding of the Chinese in Nyasaland.

In the eyes of the Germans, the Chinese in Nyasaland are smart, brave, hardworking and capable, so they can build Nyasaland into an African garden in a short period of time.

Although many Germans do not admit it, they have identified the Chinese in Nyasaland as part of the civilized world, which has nothing to do with whether the Chinese in Nyasaland are British or not, and the Boers in southern Africa are still white, but in southern Africa, the Boers are second-class citizens.

To put it bluntly, the economic base determines the social status, and if Nyasaland has no money, the construction in the territory is a mess, and the troops are backward and poorly equipped, then the Germans in Tanganyika will not look down on the Chinese in Nyasaland.

Since it is a part of the civilized world, then the rules of the civilized world should be used, and Auguste Dorn will definitely not forget how they treated the Terterans at this time, so as soon as the Glory Fort rebels appeared, Auguste Dorn ordered the troops to retreat.

It was no longer possible to walk, and when the 2nd Tanganyika Division was attacking, the 2nd Battalion of the Teaching Regiment had completed a detour and cut off the retreat of the 2nd Tanganyika Division, leaving only one way left for the 2nd Tanganyika Division, that is, to bypass the Fort Helmut position and continue to advance.

In front of the 2nd Tanganyika Division was the all-cavalry Fort Glory rebels.

Alternatively, Auguste Dorn could choose to jump into Lake Ruqua and swim back to Usumbula, but the route is more dangerous, there is a lot of wildlife in Tanganyika, and there are crocodiles and hippos in Lake Ruqua, and August Donn shuddeers at the idea of crocodiles and hippos.

"Where the hell are so many inexplicable enemies, who are they, and why do the damn rebels have so many horses?" August Dorn had countless questions in his head, but unfortunately no one could give him answers.

Now that the 2nd Tanganyika Division is the turtle in the urn, Feng Duxing is definitely not in a hurry, and leaves the opportunity to take revenge with his own hands to the rebels of Fort Glory.

Mumu did not give Auguste Dorn a chance to breathe, and as soon as the 2nd Tanganyika Division fell into chaos, Mumu took the lead and led the Glory Fort rebels to attack.

If it weren't for the fact that all the heavy machine guns were blown up just now, now is the time for the heavy machine guns to exert their power.

It's a pity that the only thing that German soldiers can use against cavalry now is the rudimentary rifle in their hands.

It's really rudimentary, the southern African troops are now equipped with Lee Enfield, and the 2nd Tanganyika Division is still equipped with single-shot Mauser rifles, which simply cannot cope with the onslaught of cavalry.

The cavalry is a type of troops, which has existed for thousands of years, and it must have its reasonableness, and the scene of thousands of cavalry groups charging and thousands of horses galloping is indeed very exciting.

The cavalry still used the traditional Tanganyika sword, although the blade of the knife is not long, but thousands of snow-bright knife knives are raised high, which is still very shocking.

"Steady, don't mess around—"

"Queue—"

"Fire—"

The officers of the 2nd Tanganyika Division were hoarsely trying to maintain the defense, but unfortunately the sporadic sound was drowned out by the dense sound of horses' hooves, and some officers even pulled out their guns in a hurry and shot the soldiers who abandoned their weapons and tried to flee on the spot.

But this behavior did not stabilize the situation, but only provoked rebellion and arrogance in the bones of Africans, and some immediately turned their guns on German officers.

At such times, whoever wants to stop them from fleeing for their lives is their mortal enemy, and discipline and honor do not exist.

But they didn't want to think about it, how to run on two legs, they couldn't run on four legs, and this kind of terrain surrounded on three sides and surrounded by water on one side, if they wanted to race with the cavalry, it was better to jump to Luqua Lake, at least there would be a glimmer of life.

Crocodiles and hippos will be fed after all-

Just when the 2nd Tanganyika Division was in chaos, the cavalry led by Mu Mu finally arrived.

Everyone is equal before the bayonet.

It's the same before the opening knife.

The cavalry stormed the infantry, it was really like a tiger entering a flock, the mountain knife actually didn't play much role at this time, and the war horse with its strong impact force was enough to scatter the infantry's defensive formation, not to mention that the Tanganyika Second Division did not organize an effective defense at all, so the scene was full of people and blood.

Many soldiers of the 2nd Tanganyika Division surrendered almost immediately on their knees, having no will to resist at all.

However, Mu Mu's subordinates did not have the idea of receiving prisoners at all, although most of the soldiers of the Tanganyika Second Division were Africans, but the Africans killed each other, and the methods were also fierce and ruthless, so even those Africans who knelt on the ground and raised their hands to surrender were cut by the mountain knives or knocked away by the horses.

According to later statistics, in the only one-and-a-half-hour encounter, a total of 145 German officers and 3,621 African-American soldiers were killed from the commander of the 2nd Tanganyika Division, August Dorn, and only six lucky ones jumped into Lake Ruqua and successfully escaped the pursuit of cavalry, as well as the attacks of crocodiles and hippos.

These six people were all Africans, and after the official investigation of Tanganyika, these six people could not provide effective information at all, and the enemy had a lot of cavalry, far outnumbering the second division of Tanganyika, and then the battle broke out, and the officers did not organize an effective defense, and then the whole army collapsed.

This result was obviously not satisfactory to the Tanganyika Command and the Governor's Palace, and the total annihilation of the 2nd Division not only led to the breakthrough of the encirclement carefully designed by Erich von Falkingham, but also completely broke the superiority of the Tanganyika colonial army.

Since the Fort Glory rebels have the ability to completely annihilate the 2nd Tanganyika Division, they have the ability to completely annihilate the 1st Tanganyika Division, and even the 115th Brigade reinforced by the mainland, so that in order to destroy the Glory Fort rebels, Erich von Falkingham will have to enlist more support troops from the mainland.

Not to mention whether the mainland has the ability to provide support to Tanganyika, after the 2nd Tanganyika Division was annihilated, Usunbula was directly exposed to the rebels of Fort Glory, and Erich von Falkingham had to transfer the 115th Brigade to Usongbra for the safety of Usongbra, and transferred the 1st Tanganyika Division back to Pingangaganga, so that the vast area of Tanganyika's hinterland completely became a vacuum, and the living space of the Fort Glory rebels was greatly increased.

On December 20, Erich von Falkingham had to ask for reinforcements from the mainland and remind the German General Staff that the rebellion in Tanganyika was to be quelled.

At least 100,000 regular German troops were needed.

100,000 people!

It was still a regular army, not even a colonial servant army, which was simply unacceptable to the German General Staff, and during the Franco-Prussian War, in order to meet France, which was known as the "world's first army", Prussia at that time only mobilized 300,000 people.

Could it be that the strength of the Tanganyika rebels has reached one-third of the strength of the French army?

It's just a joke.

However, in a subsequent telegram, Erich von Falkingham stressed that the rebellion in Tanganyika could not be suppressed without 100,000 regular troops, and that Germany must be prepared to lose Tanganyika.

Again, this was unacceptable to Kaiser Wilhelm II.

After the Franco-Prussian War, France, with its numerous colonies, quickly regained its strength from the shadow of defeat, much to the envy of Wilhelm II.

Therefore, after the Franco-Prussian War, Germany also began to seek colonies, and it was at this time that Wilhelm II found that the colonies of the world had been carved up by European countries led by Britain and France.

Africa is better, but there are still African natives in the colonies for the Germans to drive, and the German colonies in Asia are all islands, and there are no people on the islands, so the colonies can not produce benefits at all, so the colonies will be of little help to Germany.

But it was impossible for Wilhelm II to give up these colonies, and if Germany was really forced to give up Tanganyika, it would be tantamount to a slap in the face to the ambitious Wilhelm II, and I am afraid that Germany would become the laughing stock of all Europe.

It is a great wonder that it has just won the title of "the world's first army", but now it is defeated by the African natives.

However, it was not easy to reinforce Tanganyika, and it was necessary to send 100,000 German troops from Britain to southern Africa, not to mention how difficult the road was, and the military expenditure required was astronomical.

Britain mobilized 450,000 men in the Boer War and paid 220 million pounds before and after, how much can Germany take out now?

Not to mention 220 million pounds, 220 million marks can't be taken out, Germany's limited economic strength is now all used in the arms race with Britain, if you want to reinforce Tanganyika, it will affect Germany's arms race.

It seems that no matter how things evolve, they are better for the UK.

So just after Christmas, the Earl of Selborn returned to Southern Africa again, this time with the task of conferring the title of Viscount of Roque.

In other words, Baron Nyasaland is finally going to become a Viscount of Nyasaland.

However, Roque was not very happy, the British government did not seal it early or late, and it had to be at this time, which was obviously reminding the Germans that Roque had made great contributions to the British Empire and must be praised with a viscount, which was to roast Roque on fire.

So what's the biggest news for the British Empire in recent times?

There is no doubt that it is the rebellion in Tanganyika.

If Germany only suspected that Nyasaland had participated in the war, then after Roque was made a viscount, the Germans could finally be sure that the mysterious force that annihilated the 2nd Tangelica Division was the Nyasaland Army.
