The fruit of this tree is about 15 to 20 centimeters long, the calcium content is more than 50% higher than that of spinach, it contains higher antioxidants, and the vitamin C content is three times that of a single orange, not only the fruit can be eaten, but even the leaves can be eaten, and the taste is not bad, if the fruit of the baobab tree is dissolved in milk or water, it can also be used as a drink, and even the seeds of the baobab tree can be squeezed for cooking oil.

In 2008, the European Union approved baobab fruit as an ingredient in fruit juice and cereal bars.

In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved baobab dried pulp as a recognized safe food ingredient.

Since the baobab tree is so good, of course, Roque will not let it go, and in Nyasaland and Johannesburg, the baobab is now promoted as an important cash crop.

Specific to Basutolan, since there are such abundant natural resources, don't think about how diligent the Zulu people are, unlike the Chinese who work hard to farm and desperately save food, the Zulu people have no awareness of storing food at all, and they can just find a baobab tree in the wild if they don't have anything to eat, so the situation of the rebels is very embarrassing.

Before dawn, Suo Chao and Yaya led a large army to join Anton, who had already commanded his troops to repel three attacks by the rebels.

Bambata, even if he is no longer good at military literacy, knows what it means to be cut off from the back road, Sahrabataiba is a canyon, Bambata has set up three lines of defense in the canyon, hoping to use these lines of defense to win a chance to negotiate peace with the Natal government.

Under normal circumstances, the northern division of Rhodesia would have to pay a huge price to break through these lines.

Now this problem does not exist, Bambata is busy setting up a defensive line after retreating to Sehrabataibe, and has not had time to stock up on supplies, the northern division of Rhodesia only needs to block both ends of the gorge, and in a few days, the rebels will completely collapse.

In fact, even if Bambatta wanted to stock up on supplies, Basutolan did not have much surplus food, Africa was so rich that the Zulu people did not need to farm, do not need to graze, or even risk hunting, and could live well by picking fruits.

The baobab tree is the main culprit that causes Africans to be so lazy.

It may be a bit arbitrary to say this, but the laziness of Africans is undeniable.

In three successive attacks, the rebels lost at least a thousand people.

Sounds a bit incredible, right, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and if they can't open the passage, it means that 100,000 rebels will be trapped alive, even in this case, the rebels' will to fight is still very weak, every time they attack, the rebels are huge, but unfortunately as long as the sound of Madsen's light machine gun sounds, the rebels begin to scatter and flee.

"Set up the heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns, arrange for the soldiers to rest in batches, and we will just wait for the rabbits now-" Anton laughed, the 100,000 rebels in the canyon are now 100,000 fat pigs, or 100,000 military medals that can walk, after this battle, I don't know how many nobles will be born in the northern division of Rhodesia.

Even in the Boer War, the British Expeditionary Force did not defeat 100,000 enemies at one time, not to mention that the Northern Rhodesia Division is now not defeated, but completely annihilated at one time, if this goal is achieved, then the four colonies of Southern Africa will take credit for the Northern Rhodesia Division, and it is impossible for London not to award a reward, not to mention Roque, and Ade will not agree.

"Sir, if necessary, I think I can go and persuade Bambatta to surrender." Modiba is not willing to be lonely.

"Hehe, how are you going to persuade Bambatta to surrender?" Anton is noncommittal, not to mention whether Modiba has this ability, even if he does, Anton will not let Modiba go.

Just kidding, although the rebels are now the turtles in the urn, but after all, there are still 100,000 people, at this time, if anyone can persuade the rebels to surrender, who will be the first meritorious, Modiba wants to pick peaches, but he can't help but think too beautiful.

"I will tell Bambatta that if he surrenders, it is okay not to kill him." Modiba's eyes flashed with speculation, which Anton's disliked.

"You don't have this right, everyone else can not die, Modiba is dead!" Anton viciously refused.

"I understand, I understand, I just have this condition to tempt him, and when he surrenders, we can dispose of him at will-" Modiba hurriedly explained, not to mention Anton, even Yaya couldn't look past it.

Syllable!

Yaya slapped Modiba in the face, knocking Modiba to the ground, and then went up and started kicking without a head: "Are you crazy about good things - the good is yours - the lord has become treacherous - are you going to be fools when we are all stupid-"

"No, I didn't, I just wanted to help, I just wanted to atone for my sins-" Modiba held his head and curled up on the ground, this posture seemed to be humiliating, but in fact it protected his head and internal organs well, and it looked like he had been kicked badly by Yaya, but in fact he would not be seriously injured.

Anton and Suo Chao were silent, Anton glanced at Suo Chao, Suo Chao smiled, his expression was a little cold.

This is a poisonous snake that chooses people to eat, and sooner or later it will be eaten back if it stays around, in order to remove this hidden danger, then it can't be said -

It's actually pretty easy.

"Strong forts are often breached from within, so Martin, no matter what time it is, we must strengthen the education of the troops, so that the soldiers are willing to fight for their families and for Nyasaland from the bottom of their hearts, and the more we emphasize honor, the less they will do anything that violates honor, and the more we emphasize the family, the more they are willing to do anything for the family." Roque put down the binoculars in his hand and watched the rebel line not far away.

Faith is an eternal topic, and the most famous crusade in the history of European warfare has been fought for more than 100 years, relying on the steadfast conviction of generations of knights.

Not to mention, the just-concluded Boer War, if it were not for the flames of war that burned to their hometown, if it were not for their relatives facing the threat of war, then the Boers would not have fought to the end.

Specific to Nyasaland, of course, Roque will also use various methods to maintain the morale of the troops, strengthen the determination of the troops, honor and relatives are the most effective means, of course, there are also practical benefits, the northern division of Rhodesia came to Natal this time, Ade promised 100,000 pounds of military spending, Natal's side promised 150,000 pounds of military spending, plus Cape and Orange, the income of the northern Rhodesia division should be about 300,000 pounds.

Of course, Roque will not embezzle this money, except for necessary expenses, Roque will use all the money as a reward and distribute it to all the commanders and fighters who participated in this battle.

Don't forget, there are also captures in battle, which are also private income, so even the members of the militia in charge of logistics are estimated to earn more than a hundred pounds each.

Roque is also a part-time worker, and his behavior of only talking about feelings and not money is a.

"Sir, don't worry about this, the families of all the officers and soldiers of our Northern Rhodesia Division are in Nyasaland, and there is absolutely no problem in this regard." Martin was not worried, compared to most armies of this era, the Northern Rhodesian Division was absolutely superb in terms of ideological work.

When Martin mentions his family, he is not using his family to threaten the officers and soldiers to fight bravely.

In 1903, the Chinese had a deep-rooted clan concept, and the bottom line of family members going out to behave in the world was not to disgrace the family, so the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesia Division did not need to threaten at all, and if they did anything to disgrace the family, they did not need the military justice department, and the elders of the family were taken the initiative to enforce the family law.

This family law is not a beating and scolding for two days, it is normal to be beaten to death, and it is not impossible to put it in a cage and throw it into the river.

The reason why it is "martyrdom" is because in their hearts, disgrace to the family is equivalent to death, and they want to use this extreme way to prove their innocence to their relatives, friends and ancestors.

And, the innocence of the family!

This kind of moral restraint from the blood is much better than the brainwashing effect of dogma.

"That's good, we have to emphasize our martial spirit, but we can't be as extreme as Little Japan, and you and Anton still have to study this aspect." Roque wants the Chinese to be strong, but he doesn't want the Chinese to be as extreme as the Japanese.

"What's wrong with Little Japan?" Martin certainly didn't know that history, it hadn't happened yet.

"Nothing—" Roque had just spoken, when he suddenly noticed that the rebel positions in the canyon were a little chaotic.

As for the confrontation between the two armies, the troops have already entered the position, and it is the most basic requirement to stay in their positions and not run around casually.

But Roque could clearly see through the binoculars that there were people running around the rebel positions.

"I guess Anton's side has already started fighting, Martin, let's start-" Roque didn't hesitate, he took advantage of your illness to kill you.

Woo Woo Woo –

The first to strike was the Nga Nga Cannon.

The rebels' positions were soon shrouded in smoke, the 37mm grenade exploded and produced more than 200 fragments, the lethal range was five meters, and the shrapnel was still lethal at a distance of 30 meters, and the theoretical rate of fire of the 37mm Maxim rapid-fire gun was 200 to 300 rounds per minute, which means that in just 12 seconds, the standard box of 60 rounds could be emptied.

Six 37-mm Makqin rapid-fire guns fired together, that is, in just a dozen seconds, the rebel positions fell completely silent.

At this time, Company E left its starting position and launched an attack on the rebel position.

"Martin, I still have to practice infantry coordination when I go back." Roque found another shortcoming.

"What do you mean by infantry coordination?" Martin was curious.

"Infantry Coordination—" Roque was tempted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

Infantry and artillery coordination is actually a combat mode that focuses on infantry actions and coordinates artillery firepower and infantry actions.

It sounds simple, but it wasn't until World War I that the best general to use "infantry and artillery coordination" was the German Eastern Front general Hurtier, whose tactics were also known as the "Hurtier tactics".
