With a displacement of 275 tons, a length of 56.4 meters, a width of 5.6 meters, one 12-pounder and three 6-pounder rapid-fire guns, three 18-inch torpedo tubes, a steam engine with a power of 3,500-4,000 horsepower, and a design speed of 27 knots.

This performance was undoubtedly extremely advanced at the end of the nineteenth century, but it was not enough to meet Roque's requirements, the 800-ton "Count Gotzen" main gun caliber was 76 mm, and the 12-pounder gun used by the "Havoc" was 75 mm, which was similar to the caliber of the main gun of the "Count Gotzen", and did not form an overwhelming advantage, so Roque hoped that the destroyer developed by the Nyasaland shipyard could have a 125 mm caliber main gun, a displacement of about 1,000 tons, and a speed of more than 30 knots, so as to be able to control the "Count Gozen" number to form an overwhelming advantage.

Britain's artillery technology is undoubtedly very advanced, and after the successful development of France's "Miss 75", Britain immediately borrowed from "Miss 75", and the quality of artillery was greatly improved.

However, the British government still kept a hand on the Nyasaland shipyards, because the Germans did not have large warships in the North Sea, so the British government was reluctant to transfer torpedo technology to the Nyasaland shipyards, which made the Nyasaland shipyards have to find ways from other countries.

In fact, Britain's torpedo technology is like that, because it has the most powerful fleet in the world, so Britain's research and development focus is not on torpedoes, and the country with the most advanced torpedo technology in the world is not Britain, but Italy, so Roque ordered Christian to go to Italy, hoping to buy Italian torpedo technology.

Buying technology sounds like a lot of difficulty, but in fact it went smoothly beyond imagination, Italy produces torpedoes by a private arms manufacturer, and there is no meaning of self-cherishing the broom, and the price offered by Christian is high enough, so the Italians happily sell the technology to the Nyasaland shipyard.

Of course, the torpedo technology obtained by the Nyasaland shipyard can only be used for its own use and cannot be sold to the outside world.

This is enough, the reason why Roque wants to buy torpedo technology is not only to equip destroyers, but also submarines, which is the naval weapon that Roque attaches the most importance to.

Europe is now engaged in an arms race, it is almost impossible for Nyasaland to compete with European countries on surface ships, and Roque is not willing to spend that unjust money, aircraft carriers are the ultimate maritime weapons in the future, and the "dreadnoughts" that are now popular all over the world will be eliminated by history sooner or later.

And submarines will not be eliminated, so Roque put his hope on submarines, hoping that Nyasaland will have the most advanced submarine in the world.

Submarines appeared as a new military weapon during the American Civil War.

In April 1900, the U.S. government procured the submarine Holland 9 developed by British-American John Philips Holland, and since then, the submarine has officially become a kind of naval ship.

The Holland 9 uses a 33 kilowatt (45 hp) gasoline engine power unit on the water, with a speed of 7 knots and a range of 1,000 nautical miles; Underwater is powered by electric motors, with a speed of 5 knots and a cruising range of 50 nautical miles, which is the beginning of the submarine's dual propulsion system.

The submarine that Roque hopes for is definitely more advanced than the Holland Nine, Nyasaland has the most advanced diesel engine in the world, and the submarine that uses the diesel engine as the power will definitely perform better than the Holland Nine that uses a gasoline engine, and the Holland Nine is also equipped with artillery, which is intended for surface combat, and Roque will not make such a mistake, the submarine is the ghost of the bottom of the sea, and surface combat is not the purpose of the submarine, so having more powerful power and more advanced torpedoes is Roque's goal.

In Roque's design, the future Nyasaland Navy should take destroyers and submarines as the core development direction, so as to adapt to the future development of the Navy, and when aircraft carriers appear, the Nyasaland Navy can form a maritime force with aircraft carriers as the core, and at this time, destroyers and submarines are Roque's goals.

So now Ulysses owns Nyasaland, and probably the largest, most advanced and most technologically advanced shipyard in the whole of Africa.

With more than 2,000 workers throughout the Nyasaland shipyards, the city of Ulysses developed on the basis of the shipyards, and Yaya lived on Baron Road, near the port of Ulysses, which was also the noble residential area of Ulysses.

Yaya's home is a traditional three-storey wooden building with oriental characteristics, with eaves and arches, carved beams and paintings, which is also the characteristic of Nyasaland architecture, and only Nyasaland has this style of architecture in the whole of Africa.

After receiving Martin's orders, Yaya began to prepare for an attack on Usunbula.

Yaya does have an advantage in this regard, Yaya's subordinates are all Africans, at least in appearance, there is not much difference from the Taitera people in Tanganyika.

Yaya is also preparing to use the Tetera to attack Usunbula, which itself has many Tetera people, and the "Count Gozen" was assembled in Tetera, so Yaya's decision itself is fine.

The problem lies in the selection of personnel, the Tytera people are actually not the best candidates, and even all the Africans under Yaya are not very capable of accepting this kind of work, but fortunately, Yaya still has a set of control subordinates, so Yaya chose the most extreme and brutal way to prepare to deal a fatal blow to the "Count Gozen".

The exact way cannot be described, in mid-September, there were several man-made attacks in Usunbula, not only the "Count Gozen" was in the process of being assembled, but also dozens of people were killed in the attack, which made the Germans simply angry, but they could not find a person to vent.

Regardless of Yaya's attack on Usombra, at the end of September, Roque formally appointed Anton as the supreme administrator of Nyasaland and Martin as the commander of the Northern Rhodesian Division in Little Rock, and at the same time merged the Nyasaland Agricultural Company and the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company to formally form the Nyasaland Development Group.

The general manager of the development group is none other than Christian, who has always worked hard and worked hard.

In fact, Christian has always been Roque's most trusted person, if Roque hadn't brought Christian out of Robben Island, Christian might have died in the cold and damp cell of Robben Island, so Christian's gratitude to Roque is incomparable, and it can be said that it is because of Roque that Christian can become the Christian he is now.

Christian himself also gave Roque a lot of help, Roque as a Chinese, many things are inconvenient to come forward, at this time Christian became the best candidate, whether it is to hire Africans to build Nyasaland, or to find technical engineering personnel from European countries, Christian has always completed the task assigned by Roque, so Roque appointed Christian as the general manager of Nyasaland Development Group, hoping that Christian can play a greater role in the future.

"Within a year or two, Southern Africa will be autonomous, and then Nyasaland will sign a contract with the Yao people, and Port Edward will officially become part of Nyasaland. Roark has plans for both Little Rock and Port Edward, which will be the future center of Nyasaland's rule, Port Edward is the economic center of Nyasaland, and Clare City is the heart of Nyasaland.

"Xuanji" is the new name of Lake Malambe, in addition to the name of Lake Nyasaland can not be changed, many place names of Nyasaland have been replaced with Chinese names, Lake Malongbe is now Lake Xuanji, the predecessor of Xuanji City is the university town built by Roque next to Xuanji Lake, now Nyasaland Shipyard, Nyasaland Arsenal, Nyasaland Automobile Factory and many other enterprises have put their research and development units in Xuanji City, then in the future, Xuanji City will become the cultural center of Nyasaland.

Roque's positioning of Xuanji City is also very high, many cities in this era are actually not positioned, the so-called garden city and forest city in the future, now there are not even these concepts, the so-called "world center" in Europe, in fact, is big and full plus dirty mess, there is no urban concept at all, many white people come to Nyasaland after they come to Nyasaland, they fall in love with the city of Nyasaland, it is for this reason.

In terms of urban construction alone, all the urban infrastructure and living conditions of the inhabitants in Nyasaland are better than those of the "world centers" in Europe.

"Okay Lord, I want to build a museum in Xuanji City, as my contribution to Nyasaland, I have made some money over the years, instead of putting it in the account of the Rand Bank to get moldy, it is better to invest in the construction of Xuanji City, our industry in Nyasaland is quite complete now, the biggest shortcoming is art, and I am also going to build an art academy in Xuanji City in the future to train future artists." Christian is now eager to give everything he has, and although Christian is a Boer, Christian has a strong sense of belonging to Nyasaland.

After Roque was named Baron of Nyasaland, Christian regarded himself as a Nyasaland, although Roque's attitude towards the Boers was not good, but Roque also had to admit that not all Boers were muddy and could not be on the wall, just as Africans also had loyal subordinates like Yaya, and there would be people like Christian among the Boers, so Roque's attitude towards the Boers has also changed recently.

Compared to the Indians, Africans and Boers are not bad, at least Africans and Boers are living in the present and not pinning their hopes on an illusory afterlife.

As for the Chinese, it is more realistic, most of the Chinese in Nyasaland work in the Nyasaland Development Group, and many of them are doing what they can to improve their lives as much as possible.

As for the second generation of ethnic Chinese, they are all studying in school, Johannesburg has not yet achieved compulsory education, and Nyasaland has achieved it ahead of schedule.
