The riots in the servant camp resulted in the death of 575 soldiers and the minor wounding of one officer.

Roque did not ask for details, nor did he ask Colonel George Jensen to write a report, as if it had not happened.

If you don't write a report, you won't leave a file, and you won't have any troubles.

The British Empire colonies are all over the world, and I don't know how much of this happens every year, from last year to this year, the number of people starving to death in India is estimated to have increased to more than 30 million, and there is no written record in Britain, and of course the newspapers do not report it, and in recent times, the focus of British media attention has been on the Paris Peace Conference.

After the reduction, there were only 240 servant troops left, and more than 20 people were unwilling to shoot at those rebels and voluntarily withdrew.

Roque did not embarrass them, let them go freely, and when they left, one of them gave them five pounds sterling severance.

"The remaining 240 people, who have their salaries and benefits doubled every month, will allow them to relocate their families to Berbera as soon as possible, and the relocation costs will be covered by the Berbera City Council." Roque beats a stick to give a sweet date, and treats his own people, Roque never stingy.

To ensure the loyalty of these soldiers, it is necessary to give them sufficient benefits, and when the Umbrella Company began to recruit mercenaries from the Gurkhas, it also immigrated the mercenaries' families to Nyasaland to ensure the loyalty of the mercenaries.

"We only have this few people left now, and we can't even guarantee the safety of Berbera, so do we call up some soldiers again?" Colonel George Jensen was nervous that 240 men could not guarantee the safety of Berbera, and that Berbera was now like an undefended city.

"Don't worry, if the rebels dare to attack Berbera, then Berbera is the graveyard of the rebels." Roque was not worried, and that evening, a thousand Gurkha mercenaries arrived in Berbera and stationed in the servant barracks.

Angel was appointed by Roque as the supreme commander of this mercenary force, a thousand people, more than much, no less, very important for the current Berbera, this is Roque's test for Anqi.

At this time, Angel didn't even know Gurkha, but fortunately, the grassroots officers in the army were all Gurkha people drawn from the umbrella company, and they not only knew English and Gurkha, but some even knew some Chinese, which provided Angel with the greatest convenience.

"We soldiers have been trained for more than half a year, they are the best soldiers, originally we were going to participate in the world war, but before they finished training, the world war was over, many of them were worried that the army would be disbanded, so they cherished this job opportunity." Angel's deputy, Captain Dennis, who served in India and is fluent in French and Gurkha, has been with the Umbrella Company for five years.

"Very well, get them ready, and when the 2nd Cavalry Division arrives in Berbera, we will start moving as soon as we get to work." Angel was a little nervous, this was his first time as a military officer, and it was normal to be nervous.

From that night, the mercenaries began to get to work, they had to take over the defense of the entire city, and at the same time send out night patrols, and Roque specially sent ten armored vehicles to work with Angel to ensure that nothing went wrong.

In fact, it was only one night, and after daybreak, the forward troops of the 2nd Cavalry Division arrived in Berbera on two passenger ships, carrying not only armored vehicles and artillery, but also tanks by steamer.

Roque entertained Don Juan, commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division, and Chief of Staff Bullard at the temporary headquarters.

The Temporary Headquarters is an estate on the outskirts of Berbera that was originally owned by a wealthy merchant who returned to England after the outbreak of the World War and was expropriated by the Somalila colonial government.

"Are you disappointed, although the world war is over, but the battle that belongs to us is not over." After seeing Don Juan and Brad, Roque also joked that during the World War, Don Juan and Brad had been promoted to lieutenant generals, but their positions were not promoted, and Roque was ready to appoint Don Juan to replace Don En as the general manager of the umbrella company after a while, and Brad might be the commander of the Second Cavalry Division at that time.

"Not at all, Brad and I were worried about whether the Second Cavalry Division would be disbanded after the end of the World War, and when I was free, I ate one less bowl of food every day-" Don Juan was not disappointed at all, the stage of soldiers is the battlefield.

As a person who hated buffets very much, Roque chose an oriental-style banquet to find Don Juan and Brad, but several people's minds were not on the dinner table, and after the meal, they came to the operations command room to listen to Colonel George Jensen introduce the current situation in Somaliland.

"- This is the general situation, the Kingdom of Italy is not in a position to help, so we have to face the rebels on our stomachs, and now the problem is that we do not know the situation of the rebels, we do not know how many rebels there are, where they are mainly distributed, the air force has begun to reconnoiter the rebels, but with little success, and there is no specific information yet." Colonel George Jensen was respectful, and he had the lowest rank in the entire operational command room, even several brigade commanders of the 2nd Cavalry Division were higher in rank than him.

"I don't know how many people there are, I don't know what the equipment is, I don't even know where the rebels are, how can this be fought?" Don Juan had a headache, and it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, which was very different from the Western Front.

On the Western Front, at least there was no need to screen the identity of German soldiers.

"Actually, there is one easiest way, we just need to expel all Somalis into Italian Somalia." As soon as Roque made a move, he would kill them all, but this was not realistic, and if he really drove all the Somalis away, then Somaliland would lose its value.

You can't let the noble white man go to herd the sheep—

"I'll see it!" Don Juan didn't think twice, Roque's words were holy decrees.

Both Roque and Colonel George Jensen had broken expressions.

"Before, it was impossible to distinguish between the rebels and civilians because the government forces were insufficient, but now we have nearly 20,000 people, and we can carry out the scorched earth policy of the Boer War, and any hostile behavior that dares to oppose us must be brutally culled, Somali men will be captured, permanent forts will be built along the coastline, and our troops will be dispersed and stationed, and the rebels will be resupplied through the coastline, and the rebels will be trapped alive in the wilderness." Brad is really ruthless, at the beginning in southern Africa, Kitchener was like this little by little to squeeze the living space of the Boer coalition army, and finally forced the Boer coalition army to surrender completely.

"Agreed!" Colonel George Jensen was the first to agree.

Roque and Don Juan looked at each other and nodded imperceptibly.

So early the next morning, Brad led a force to Hargeisa, with the aim of opening the passage between Berbera and Hargeisa, connecting Berbera and Hargeisa, and then carrying out the "scorched earth policy" proposed by Brad from west to east.

The servants played an important role in locating the Somali tribe with the 2nd Cavalry Division and the Gurkha mercenaries, reading to the Somalis the policy of the colonial government, warning them not to have any contact with the rebels and to report the rebels in time, otherwise the tribe would be thrown into the concentration camps.

After just three days, all the Somali tribes around Berbera were cleared, and the passage to Hargeisa was completely opened, and a regiment led by Brad was stationed in Hargeisa, and Colonel George Jensen recruited nearly 4,000 Somali laborers from Berbera and Hargeisa to start building permanent fortifications along the coastline of Somaliland.

At this time, another problem arose, after all, the construction of permanent fortifications cost money, and the poor Somali colonial government could not even afford to pay for the stationing of the Second Cavalry Division in Somalia, let alone pay for the construction of permanent fortifications.

After Roque had a full understanding of Somaliland, he found out that there was not even a decent mineral resource in Somaliland, animal husbandry was the only economic pillar of Somaliland, and because of years of war, Somaliland's animal husbandry was devastated, Roque and Don Juan racked their brains, and they didn't think of where to get money.

"If you want money, I don't know how many ships pass by the outer harbor of Berbera every day, and we don't want more, a hundred pounds for a ship, and it will be easy to collect him for half a year and a few months." Don Juan actively tried to find a way, but the idea he proposed was not very reliable.

Even if it was such an unreliable idea, Roque carefully weighed the possibilities.

It seems that it is not impossible, for an ocean-going freighter, a hundred pounds will not hurt the muscles and bones, and Roque will not collect it all year round, only a few months, and the ships that come and go should be able to bear it.

What should be explained here is that the steamers that pass through the outer harbor of Berbera are basically either British or French, so the matter of setting up a card to collect money is really not a matter of collecting it, and Roque is responsible for it.

"Otherwise, we will only have to sell the land, but I don't know if anyone will buy it, this place is too poor-" Don Juan kills chickens and takes eggs, anyway, he sells the land of the Somali colonial government, and it has nothing to do with Don Juan.

It's not impossible to sell land, the key is the price, the price is too high and no one buys it, if it's too low, it's not enough, the key is that Somaliland is a broken place, and if you want to sell it at a high price, you have to sell it.

"Those who sell the land will let it go in advance, collect money, collect money according to the size and nationality of the ship, our ships will collect less, the French ships will collect according to the general, and the Japanese ships will collect to the death-" Roque still chose the easier way, soldiers, or be simple and rude, what do you want to do so much.

"Shall we?" Don Juan wasn't sure what Roque meant.

"As long as it is a ship of the British Empire, it is ours!" Roque was speechless, and Don Juan was asking about the fact that this "our" package did not include ships with British nationality.

Roque's meaning is very clear, as long as southern Africa does not secede from the British Empire for a day, the British Empire is "our".

ps: Actually, I don't have anything to say, I just don't ps, I always feel like there's something I haven't done-
