During the Paris Peace Conference, the Allied Powers decided to form a "Straits Management Committee" composed of the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Japan, and Russia, which would be responsible for shipping, lighthouse management, and navigation in the region.

Russia here refers to the imperial Russian forces loyal to the Tsar and has nothing to do with the new Russian government.

The largest number of troops stationed in this area of the six nations was British, and mainly southern African troops, and Alexander was to withdraw the troops on the east bank of the Channel to the west bank, and the troops led by Ruiz should take over.

However, the number of troops under Louis was not large, only a battalion of less than 1,000 men, and there was no ability to garrison troops on the eastern shore of the Bosphorus.

"It doesn't matter, even if Kimar's forces occupy the eastern shore of the Bosphorus, they will not attack our transport ships in southern Africa." Ruiz was not worried when he learned of this, and during the World War, Kemal was the defeated commander of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

"Why?" Wilson was slow to react, his current rank is captain, and he is still Ruiz's deputy.

"Because Kimar knows very well that if he dares to attack our transport, then his troops will surely be retaliated against by us." Ruiz has confidence, although southern Africa has few troops stationed in the Bosphorus, there are still tens of thousands of mercenaries in Cyprus and the two river basins, which really provokes southern Africa, and Kimar's remnants of the defeat are not enough to see.

After the end of the World War, the peninsula of Asia Minor was still in chaos, with a mix of forces fighting endlessly.

However, this does not affect the entry of southern African goods into the peninsula of Asia Minor, and there is no such thing as an arms embargo, and there is a steady flow of arms, ammunition and household goods produced in southern Africa into the peninsula, and neither side will attack the transport ships flying the southern African flag at will.

"So we're going to watch Kimal's forces occupy the eastern shore of the Bosphorus?" Welson was not reconciled, this was actually a good opportunity to control the Bosphorus.

"Or else?" Ruiz knew it was a good opportunity, but Ruiz couldn't do it, otherwise Southern Africa would be the target of public criticism.

Of course, it is not impossible to do nothing, as the garrison increases, the size of the camp will continue to expand, and the simple dock will also be upgraded to a permanent dock, for which Dingyuan Fort employs more than a thousand local workers, and the expansion has been going on.

It should be noted here that the environment around Dingyuan Fort is still very good, with Dingyuan Fort as the center, all the surrounding five kilometers are dense forests, Dingyuan Fort is about 2 kilometers away from the other side of the strait, and the water surface distance is less than one kilometer.

In order to expand Dingyuan Fort, Ruiz sent people to Constantinople to collect building materials at the same time, cut down a large part of the forest around Dingyuan Fort, and now these forests are being transformed into farms, planting some vegetables and fruit trees or something is very Southern African style, Dingyuan Fort in addition to the garrison, there are more than 1,000 military families, these military families also live in the camp, in fact, it is not convenient, Ruiz's main task now is to build a residential area next to the camp, used to house these military families.

Building a residential area requires more building materials, and it is not practical to collect building materials from Constantinople, but fortunately, the Garibaldi Peninsula is also rich in resources, stone and wood, but due to the destruction of the war, the former quarries and lumberyards have closed their doors, and there is no time to resume production.

To restore production, it was necessary to provide military protection, which in the current Garibaldi peninsula, only Alexander could do.

Alexander had men under his command but lacked supplies, so Ruiz had to work with Alexander to restore peace to the Garibaldi Peninsula.

"Yes, as long as I have enough logistical supplies, I promise to restore order in the Garibaldi Peninsula, whether it is Kimal or Said, as long as they dare to cross the strait, I will throw them all into the Sea of Marmara to feed the fish." Alexander was overjoyed when he learned the news.

The Imperial Russian forces on the Garibaldi Peninsula were in fact remnants, the Russian Empire had now fallen, Nicholas II had died, and Alexander and his forces had lost their allegiances and stable logistical supplies.

Now that Alexandria is having a hard time, the Garibaldi Peninsula has been severely damaged by the war, the economic system of the peninsula has been completely destroyed during the world war, and reconstruction is far away, Alexander is trying to restore production in the Garibaldi Peninsula, but this will require strong force as a guarantee.

The fighting power of the Russians is still trustworthy, and the Russian Empire would not have lost so badly during the world war if it were not for the poor command and logistics of the Russian Empire.

Even so, the Russian Empire had a strong presence during the World War, when the Russian Eighth Army under the command of Alexei Brusinov dealt a heavy blow to the German-Austrian forces in Galicia.

If Alexander's troops could have advanced weapons and adequate logistical supplies, then control of the Garibaldi Peninsula would not be a problem.

"No, no, Alexander, you have to make one thing clear, you are not working with Southern Africa, but with the Umbrella Company, and until then, your troops will first have to be integrated by the Umbrella Company." Ruiz is demanding, and there is never a pie in the sky.

Alexander was silent, if he accepted the reorganization of the umbrella company, then it would mean that Alexander would lose the command of the troops.

Ruiz is not in a hurry, it is impossible for southern Africa to directly give assistance to Alexander, but the umbrella company can, and now it depends on Alexander's heart, whether power is more important, or the future of hundreds of thousands of Russians is more important.

"If we accept the restructuring of Umbrella Corporation, what will Umbrella Corporation do to us?" Alexander didn't think about it for too long, now the Entente and Russia can't take care of Alexander, so Alexander's troops can survive until now, once the Entente and the new Russian government divide the victory and defeat, no matter which side wins, they will free up their hands to deal with Alexander's troops.

At that time, without a strong backer, the future of Alexander's troops was in doubt.

"If you want, you can move some of the people to the Two Rivers Valley, or to Southern Africa, and the Umbrella Company will take care of that and make sure they can live—" Ruiz said as Alexander almost agreed.

"Of course, we can also let them stay on the Garibaldi Peninsula, the most important thing for us now is to restore order on the Garibaldi Peninsula, ensure the safety of the Garibaldi Peninsula, gradually resume production, eliminate the guerrillas hiding in the mountains like rats, ensure the smooth flow of the strait, and the 'Strait Management Committee' is also happy to see your troops reorganized." Ruiz was on behalf of the "Straits Management Committee" to integrate Alexander's troops, and if he accepted the reorganization of the umbrella, then it would mean that Alexander's troops completely broke with Russia.

"Okay, I agree." Alexander barely hesitated.

"Great!" Ruiz finally relented, Alexander's 20,000 troops were a time bomb that would detonate sooner or later if the fuse was not removed.

With Alexander's cooperation, the reorganization work began quickly.

The Umbrella Company was well prepared to deliver a batch of weapons, ammunition and daily necessities to Constantinople as soon as possible, as well as 300 professional mercenaries who would be responsible for the reorganization of Alexander's troops.

According to the Umbrella Company's plan, Alexander's troops were to be reorganized into two brigades, one in Constantinople and the other in the "Anzaz Bay", which had suffered a lot during the World War.

After the reorganization, Alexander's troops will be under the command of the "Strait Management Committee", which will be responsible for shipping, lighthouse management, and navigation of Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosphorus.

At the same time as the troops were being reorganized, the migration of civilians was also underway, and most Russians chose to go to southern Africa, far from Europe, where they were tired of the war and desperate to flee.

Some civilians chose to stay on the Garibaldi Peninsula, and after the war, most of the farms in the Garibaldi Peninsula were abandoned, and the farmers either left the country or died.

In terms of environmental conditions alone, the Garibaldi Peninsula is still very good, the peninsula is rich in resources, the geographical location is important, the Sea of Marmara is rich in aquatic products, the production of anchovy is particularly high, the locals jokingly say that fishing does not need a fishing net at all, and you can catch fish directly by putting your hand into the water.

Previously, most of the Russians in the Garibaldi Peninsula relied on fishing for their livelihood.

Relatively speaking, the economic value of anchovy is relatively low, but it still has a good development value when the materials are not abundant.

After Alexander's troops were reorganized, the South African company was ready to set up a canning factory on the Garibaldi Peninsula to process canned anchovies locally and sell them to Europe.

To Alexander's surprise, after the reorganization of the troops, he himself was not sent to the cold palace or transferred out of the Garibaldi Peninsula, and was still appointed commander of the troops.

In fact, it is not surprising that the modern army's dependence on logistics has made the power of the unit commander smaller and smaller, even if Alexander's troops are equipped with the most advanced weapons, if they lose the logistics supply, they will still not be able to exert their due combat effectiveness, which Alexander has experienced very deeply.

The Umbrella Company not only sent individual weapons to Alexander's troops, but also armored vehicles and patrol boats, which were used to block the strait, and grenade launchers on armored vehicles were the best weapons against the guerrillas.

"If we had had such equipment during the world war, then maybe the outcome would have been different—" Alexander looked sadly at the armored vehicle that was being hoisted off the transport ship.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.
