713 St. George's

For this battle loss ratio, Roque is still relatively satisfied, you must know that the battle loss ratio between the Allies and the Central Powers in August was more than four to one, and for every German soldier killed, more than four French soldiers were killed.

"I have promised Martin that I will make up for his losses, and ideally ten to fifteen divisions should fight in France." Now that the troops have arrived in France, Roque doesn't care about the number of casualties, the French are already dead more than 200,000 and don't feel distressed, and it's still early in southern Africa.

"More than a dozen divisions, more than 200,000 troops, what will happen to these troops after the war?" Ade asks a very pointed question, African soldiers seem to be obedient now, but not necessarily in the future.

Unlike the British and French, which had a large number of colonial servants, the German army was almost entirely composed of whites.

This raises a very serious problem, in Africa, the status of whites is completely above Africans, Africans don't even have the courage to talk to whites, let alone fight with whites, as a result, in the world war, thousands of whites died at gunpoint of African troops, and the psychology of African soldiers will definitely change, at least the fear of whites will disappear.

In this way, after the end of the world war, if these African troops return to southern Africa, it will be difficult to get them back to their former state of obedience.

"We'll talk about it then, it's not a hurry now-" Roque is very steady, some things can't be said too plainly, France will lose a whole generation in the world war, and after the world war, France will have a large number of immigrant labor from the colonies to fill the vacancy of the native labor force, so it is uncertain how many African soldiers will be willing to return to southern Africa at that time.

What's more, even if they come back, African soldiers have better options, the Kingdom of Congo and the Kingdom of Mozambique are both countries composed of Africans, and there should be many Africans willing to emigrate.

In this way, it is estimated that there are very few soldiers who are willing to return to southern Africa, and when the time comes, the umbrella will come forward to recruit more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, and it will really not be difficult to digest.

"What do you mean by talking about it then? What is this? Ade was very dissatisfied with Roque's answer, which in Ade's opinion is a sign of immaturity, in Ade's view, Roque, as the Minister of Defense, should not be so short-sighted and unplanned, even if he can't do everything and have no plan.

"The General Staff has a plan, and this problem can be solved perfectly when the time comes." Roque can't say anything now, and wants to leave when he's done with the report.

"Wait, Minister Botha will be here in a moment, and you can listen to it too." Ade won't let go.

"What does Minister Botha have to say to me?" Roque asked casually.

Ade glared at Roque without speaking, burying his head and continuing to work on the papers.

Roque looks at Sidney Milner.

Sidney Milner quietly made a "National Farm" lip up to Roque.

It dawned on Roque that Louis Botha was still not giving up, but the target had shifted from farms in southern Africa to the newly occupied Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, no wonder Louis Botha would speak for Roque in Congress when the war broke out.

Ten minutes later, Sidney Milner brought Louis Botha in, which showed Roque's status, and even if the other ministers had something to do with Ade, they would not usually get more than ten minutes.

"It's great that you're here, Lord Nyasaland." Louis Botha was not surprised, Roque wanted to see Ade at any time.

"Good day, Minister Botha." Roque greeted with a smile, the 6th and 11th Divisions were working together to strangle the rebels illegally gathered in the west of Orange, Schalke Beagle did not go south to the Cape, but went west to try to enter southwest Africa to join the German army, only to be surrounded by the 6th and 11th Divisions in Appleington, and now that the destruction was imminent, Louis Botha seemed to not know.

"After the German occupation of South-West Africa and Tanganyika, it was declared that the lands of South-West Africa and Tanganyika belonged to Kaiser Wilhelm II, and now that we occupied South-West Africa and Tanganyika, we can also declare that all the lands belong to the king, and then there is the basis for the establishment of national farms, and the combined land of South-West Africa and Tanganyika is more than 1.8 million square kilometers, and on this basis we can establish countless national farms, as well as various enterprises that are attached to the state factories, in a few years, The financial crisis on the federal government will be greatly alleviated. "Louis Botha is in good spirits, and if Louis Botha's plan can be realized, it will be very beneficial.

"Minister Botha, even without a national factory, the federal government's fiscal situation will gradually improve." Roque did not want to set up a national farm, and Roque also had arrangements for South West Africa and Tanganyika lands.

The land in these two places will definitely be confiscated, but the establishment of a national farm is enough, there are only ten acres of land that can be allocated to new immigrants in southern Africa this year, and during the world war, new immigrants will further increase, and Congress is already considering stopping the distribution of land, if the land in southwest Africa and Tanganyika is confiscated, then the current immigration policy in southern Africa can be continued for at least another three or five years.

Without the lure of land, southern Africa would be much less attractive to newcomers.

"Lord Nyasaland, I don't say all, I mean some, a third, or a quarter." Louis Botha is also smart now, but it is still a lion's mouth, even if Roque is willing to give up part of the interest, it is impossible to reach a third or a quarter of the extent, with Louis Botha's understanding of Roque, if a tenth of the land is classified as a national farm, it will be a huge victory for the Ministry of Agriculture.

It's just a matter of opening the sky and landing to repay the money.

"How can there be so many, more than 500 plantations in Tanganyika, people greeted them before the war broke out, to ensure the interests of British capital in Tanganyika, I thought at first that only some of the plantations were run by the British, but now there are nearly 200 plantations, what to do with this part of the plantations? To collect or not to receive? "Roque is also a headache, the people who are eligible to invest in Tanganyika are all British elites, if the interests of this part of the people are touched, then it will be much more difficult for southern Africa to annex Tanganyika.

"This is simply an enemy!" Louis Botha was furious, British colonies were all over the world, Canada and Australia were deserted lands, but British capital wanted to invest in Tanganyika, which was indeed a capital enemy.

However, this problem cannot be looked at this way, although Canada and Australia have vast land, but the population is sparse and lacks sufficient labor, so even if capital goes to Canada or Australia, it cannot get enough income.

"So much?" Ade didn't expect that there would be so many rivals.

In other words, I didn't expect the guy who was the enemy to be so powerful.

"There must be some people who haven't reacted yet, and the reality may be more serious than what has been exposed now." Roque is not optimistic, the northern division of Rhodesia has advanced to Lake Victoria, the 1st Cavalry Division has just occupied Karatu yesterday, the troops of Fort Glory are advancing towards Idra, the army of the Kingdom of Mozambique has also reached the banks of the Rufigi River, and the space for German maneuver in Tanganyika is gradually being compressed.

Thanks to the experience of the Second Boer War, Roque is also a step-by-step camp on Tanganyika, using pillboxes and barbed wire to gradually squeeze the living space of the Tanganyika German army, this method looks a little stupid, but the effect is very good, now Tanganyika is the rainy season, it is very difficult for the German army to survive in the field, the air force's reconnaissance has played a great role, due to the lack of air defense of the German army, so the air force will take the initiative to attack after discovering the German army, although the effect of the attack is not good, but the blow to the German psychology is very serious.

According to the calculations of the General Staff, the fighting in Tanganyika will end by the end of this year.

"Leave it alone the British capital, since they have chosen to invest in Tanganyika, they must accept the present result, all farms, plantations, industrial and mining enterprises will be confiscated, all Germans in South-West Africa and Tanganyika will be put in concentration camps, and after the war they will be sent back to Germany, or other German colonies, if there are still colonies in Germany by then." Ade was decisive in killing, and compared with the officials of this era, Roque was really too merciful.

According to Roque's previous assumptions, South Africa and Tanganyika could accommodate whites in both regions as long as the German inhabitants of these two regions were subject to southern African administration.

Unexpectedly, Ade is now sending them all away with a stroke of the pen, which is indeed more in line with the interests of southern Africa.

It was clear that Ade's decision was more in line with the values of the era, and several people in the office had relatives except for Roque, Sidney Milner and Louis Botha did not react to Ade's words, and took it for granted, which gave Roque a deeper understanding of the colonial thinking of white people.

That's right, Roque's previous positioning of the occupying forces was inaccurate, look at what Germany did in Belgium and France, that's what the occupying army should be.

In September, the southern African offensive against South-West Africa and Tanganyika entered a new phase, and the southern African army, which had been somewhat humane before, all entered a state of rage, all resistance was resolutely suppressed, silent resistance was also resistance, and the transformation of Usombra and Dar es Salaam was also carried out at the same time.

According to the tradition of southern Africa, the first thing to change the name of an area is to change it, Edward and Elizabeth have already used the names George and Victoria to become the new favorites, Usombra is the new name is Victoria, Dares Salaam is the new name of Georgetown, and in order to distinguish it from the rest of the Georgetown, Dar es Salaam is "St. George".
