Before reinforcements from South-West Africa arrived in Tanganyika, Germany formed two divisions of servant corps in Tanganyika, one at Usunbura on the North Sea coast and the other at Pinganganya, an important coastal town in Tanganyika.

The future Dar es Salaam, founded in 1862 and the center of German rule in Tanganyika in 1891, is now the official residence of the Governor of Leutwein.

According to the establishment of the German army at this time, the division-level troops adopted the two-brigade and four-regiment system, and the total strength of a division should be about 17,000 people, and the total strength of the support force could reach about 40,000.

The size of the colonial servant army is definitely different from the local regular army, and the size of a division of the German servant army in Tanganyika is only about 5,000 people, after all, the colonial servant army has to face the colonial natives, not the regular army of the old colonial country, so there is no need to use a regular establishment at all.

In other words, Germany is now almost desperate for the arms race, all its forces are concentrated on the construction of the navy, and there is no spare power to take care of the army, let alone the colonial servant army.

Of course, the militia in Tanganyika is also different from the militia in Nyasaland, which is required to undergo one month of formal training every year, and the militia groups in various places regularly check the training of their members.

Forget about the militia in Tanganyika, Tanganyika now needs local subsidies to maintain Tanganyika's colonial rule, and it really needs regular training, and it is estimated that it can't even afford to consume bullets, so it's all money.

With the configuration of the Tanganyika servant army, it can indeed be maintained against the colonial natives, after all, the colonial natives do not have advanced weapons, and they are still primitive equipment like spears and pikes, and a Maxim is enough to form an overwhelming advantage over the colonial natives.

But in the face of the Fort Glory rebels, supported by Nyasaland, Tanganyika's colonial forces were not enough.

Speaking of which, I have to sigh again, Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets, is indeed strong, and not long after Lee Enfield appeared, Britain has the ability to fully redress, and all front-line troops have been equipped with Lee Enfield, and even the colonial troops in southern Africa, because of the Boer War, have also been able to equip Lee Enfield, using the most advanced weapons in the world.

Germany's strength is much worse than that of the British, and at the moment when the magazine rifle is popular, the German regular army still uses the old-fashioned single-shot Mauser rifle, not to mention the colonial servant army, Nyasaland in order to support the rebels of Fort Glory, I don't know from which corner of the warehouse to find some Martini Henry, this kind of rifle that has been completely eliminated in the British army, can still be regarded as an advanced weapon in Tanganyika.

As for Makqin, in the entire Tanganyika, the troops of the two divisions are equipped with a total of six, there are no rapid-fire guns at all, the number of grenades is extremely small, and even the supply of ammunition is insufficient, so now the Tanganyika servant army is far behind the Fort Glory rebels in terms of equipment.

So it is really understandable why the German government would threaten Nyasaland with war.

Of course, this threat of war is only a threat, Germany is unlikely to declare war on Nyasaland for Tanganyika at present, even if Germany sends troops from the mainland to Tanganyika to quell the rebellion, the troops sent are only one brigade of 6,000 people, perhaps in the eyes of the German government, this is enough to quell the rebellion in Tanganyika, but this force has not yet arrived in Tanganyika, the number of rebels in Tanganyika has exceeded 10,000, this situation finally makes Vontrotta feel troubled.

At the beginning of December, two special guests came to Eagle Castle, Neville Chamberlain and his older brother Austin Chamberlain.

The previous year's British general election, Joseph Chamberlain's Conservative Party had lost, and Austin Chamberlain joined the Conservative Party with most members of the Liberal Unionist Party, intending to make a comeback four years later.

What Austin Chamberlain never expected was that until the outbreak of World War I and the formation of a coalition government in Britain, the Conservative Party did not win, so Austin Chamberlain and most of the Conservative Party members were excluded from the British government.

Austin Chamberlain, who was not yet aware of the cruel situation he was about to face, came to Roque this time, Austin Chamberlain was representing the governor of Tanganyika, Leut Wein, hoping that Roque would stop aiding the rebels in Tanganyika, so that Tanganyika could quell the rebellion in Tanganyika as soon as possible.

Rock never imagined that a member of the Chamberlain family, a dignified imperial minister and a prominent member of British politics, would actually lobby for the Germans in Nyasaland.

But when it comes to Neville Chamberlain's appeasement in the future, Roque seems to understand something.

Don't get me wrong, Austin Chamberlain is definitely not a traitor to the British government, but Austin Chamberlain definitely did not completely stand on the British side when considering the issue.

To put it bluntly, it's all for profit.

"The arms race is intensifying, it has seriously affected the lives of citizens, we cannot allow the Liberal government to drag the British Empire into the abyss of war, we must stop this irrational behavior and put the country back on track, or we will become the sinners of the nation," Austin Chamberlain said impassionedly, but his starting point seemed untenable.

"Your Excellency, the rebellion in Tanganyika will have a serious impact on the arms race in Germany, and if Germany can no longer support it, wouldn't it be better for us to take the initiative to stop the arms race?" Roque followed Austin Chamberlain's meaning and said that in fact, it was also the same goal.

"Lord Nyasaland, you don't seem to realize that even if Germany can't hold on, it will not take the initiative to stop the arms race, but will make a desperate bet to start a war, which will be an unprecedented disaster for the civilized world-" Austin Chamberlain was still very sober and fully aware of the evil consequences of the arms race.

"Think about it, if the rebels in Tanganyika succeed in their rebellion and the Germans are forced to withdraw from Tanganyika, what kind of disastrous effect it will have on Nyasaland, on southern Africa, on our colonies of the British Empire all over the world, and I am afraid that all the colonies will follow suit, and the system of civilized world, which we have established and maintained for hundreds of years, will completely collapse and we absolutely cannot accept." Austin Chamberlain was also concerned about the repercussions of the Tanganyika rebellion.

Unlike Winston and Neville, Austin Chamberlain did not approve of colonial autonomy and tried his best to implement the tariff policy advocated by Joseph Chamberlain, trying to strengthen the control of the economy of the Dominions of the British Empire, advocating a protective tariff policy, and implementing the Imperial System of Preferences.

This is contrary to the interests of Nyasaland, Roque does not want to break away from the Commonwealth, but he also does not want London to dictate to southern African affairs, as for the Imperial System of Preferences, Roque is in favor, which is more conducive to Nyasaland to seize the Commonwealth market.

"Your Excellency, the rebellion in Tanganyika will not affect Nyasaland, you should have seen that although Tanganyika is limited to chaos, Nyasaland is still stable and has not been affected by Tanganyika." Roque believed that the problem was far less serious than Austin Chamberlain had described, and that even if a rebellion broke out in Nyasaland, the government of Nyasaland was fully capable of stabilizing the situation in a short period of time without the support of outside forces.

"Okay gentlemen, let's get to the practicals, Locke, what are you going to do in Tanganyika so that you end your support for the rebels in Tanganyika?" Neville Chamberlain was more familiar with Roque and asked Roque directly what he wanted.

That's right, Roque has already spent tens of thousands of pounds for the rebels in Tanganyika, and it is absolutely impossible to let Roque stop without some benefits.

"Neville, can you represent the government of Tanganyika?" General Roque.

"Of course not, I don't represent anyone, I just want to hear what you think of Tanganyika, that's all." Neville Chamberlain was not fooled, and if the purpose of the two brothers was to spread out, the political prestige of the Chamberlain family would be completely destroyed.

"Then this is very simple, I demand that Tanganyika cede the entire North Sea, recognize the interests of Nyasaland in the North Sea, and at the same time make Tanganyika a demilitarized zone within ten kilometers of the Nyasaland border, and the Tanganyika government should not station troops in this area, and at the same time the Tanganyika government should guarantee the rights of the Taylera in the territory, and must stop the massacre of the Taytera people, and reflect on the previous brutality, and compensate the Taylera who were killed." Roque also opened his mouth widely, that is, to make conditions absolutely unacceptable to the Germans, and then Roque had a reason to continue to support the rebels in Tanganyika.

Neville Chamberlain obviously didn't expect that Roque's request was so excessive, and exchanged a tacit look with Austin Chamberlain, Neville Chamberlain considered and said: "Locke, be realistic, the Germans will never agree to these conditions of yours." ”

"I didn't think that the Germans agreed, since Vontrotta came to Tanganyika, the Tanganyika military has behaved more and more excessively, and Lord Bilov's visit to Nyasaland has effectively improved relations between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, but the arrival of Vontrotta has ruined the good situation created by Lord Bilov's visit to Nyasaland, and it is Von Trotta who is really responsible for all this." Roque is not welcome, just now Roque did not mention Von Trota's responsibility, because the German General Staff has removed Von Trotta from the post of Commander-in-Chief of Tanganyika, and the new commander-in-chief is the famous Erich von Falkingham.
