The combat effectiveness of the troops formed purely by Africans is not strong, and it really has nothing to do with weapons and equipment.

For example, if it is a simple trench, if it is a southern African army, then it must be built in strict accordance with the "Infantry Manual", and the toilets must be clear and clear whether they are men and women, and they will definitely not deal with it.

A purely African-made force.

If there is not necessarily a battle, then why build trenches.

What's what? Toilets should be divided into men and women? It's not humane—

That's about it.

After the reconnaissance brigade interrogated the prisoners after the war, it was found that the weapons and ammunition that the rebels had just purchased from Parker were casually piled up in the open space in the center of the camp, not only without protection, but also piled up all kinds of weapons and ammunition, and after being detonated by the grenades fired by the reconnaissance brigade, the scene was quite colorful and colorful, like a large fireworks.

Of course, the consequences were also very serious, according to the prisoners, Vanet was indeed in the camp, and when the reconnaissance group had just launched an attack, Vanet, who was only wearing pajamas, tried to organize a counterattack.

Then no one ever saw Vanet again, and after the battle, the reconnaissance team searched every corner of the valley and beyond, only to find a broken pajama, and Vanet disappeared without a trace.

Probably ran.

More likely, he was killed in battle and had no bones left.

This made Liu Yi and George very regretful, it would be better if there was no body, if they really let Wane take advantage of the chaos to escape, then Liu Yi and George not only did not have credit, but had to seriously review it.

Next time, it won't necessarily be such a good opportunity.

Even so, the reconnaissance brigade gained a lot.

After interrogating Liu Yi, it was revealed that there were thousands of rebels in the proposed temporary camp, all of whom were elite troops around Vanet, most of whom were regular troops from the Kingdom of Kongo and had undergone rigorous training for a long time.

Fortunately, it was the reconnaissance brigade that launched an attack at night, and if it was a frontal battle with real swords and guns, it would be impossible for the reconnaissance brigade to retreat in its entirety.

The combat effectiveness of African-American soldiers is actually quite good, but the main thing that is poor is organization and discipline.

"Regardless of whether Vanet is killed or not, the reward that should be given must still be given, and it is announced to the public that Vanet has been killed, and the rebels can be decided." Roque was not angry when he learned the news, a small rebel army couldn't make much waves.

It was the Parker who was caught by Willow Wing, and Roque was very interested.

"Andy's Sixth Division has arrived in Mbandaka, engaged in an exchange of fire with the rebels, and captured nearly a thousand prisoners—" Martin regretted that he could not personally go to Mbandaka to command the battle, such opportunities were rare, but they were still precious.

"Tell Andy to be kind to the captives and send them to the construction site to repair the railroad." Roque never kills prisoners, and only those who are unwilling to work and reform will be killed by Roque as an example.

"Now that we have witnesses, do we want to teach the French some lessons?" Martin finally remembered that there was a Parker.

In the past, the French resolutely refused to admit the deal with the rebels, but now although they do not say that they have obtained the stolen goods, at least they have human witnesses, and if Southern Africa does not take advantage of the topic, it will be too bad.

"This matter is handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we are only responsible for the operation." Roque did not overstep his authority, and the federal government of Southern Africa finally established a foreign ministry this year, and the minister was Jan Smoats.

Jan Smolts, who previously served as Southern Africa's ambassador to the United Kingdom and France, has well defended the interests of Southern Africa.

Now that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been established, Jan Smozi has become the natural Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

Jan Smotz is a lawyer by training, and he is familiar with European countries, which is a very suitable position for Jan Smotz.

For the battle of Mbandaka, Roque is not worried, if the southern African army can't even deal with the rebels, then Roque will be too defeated.

Recently, Roque has been entangled in family affairs, and Arthur, who has finally ended his global trip, is about to go to Cyprus to take on the responsibilities of being a Baron of Cyprus, which makes Roque very guilty.

It seems that in a blink of an eye, Arthur has grown up, and it is embarrassing to think about it, this is only a few hundred chapters.

Although Roque and Arthur have always had a good relationship.

However, Roque was busy with official business, and after all, he still missed many key moments in Arthur's growth, which made Roque very regretful.

Fortunately, technology is developing, although Cyprus is a bit far from southern Africa, it is still very simple to fly back and forth, and Roque has time to slowly cultivate a relationship with Arthur.

"You have grown up, and it is time for you to take responsibility for yourself as a man, and when you come to Cyprus, don't make decisions lightly, discuss things with your brother Angel, and Derek will do his best to assist you, and manage relations with Italy and France, not greedy, but also not afraid-" Ida told Arthur before he left.

Derek is a retainer of the Capetian family, and this time he will travel to Cyprus with Arthur to serve as the Governor of the Territory of Cyprus.

Arthur is half French in his body, and it is estimated that there will not be much conflict with France, mainly Italy.

After the World War, Italy was ambitious and tried to establish hegemony in the eastern Mediterranean.

It's a pity that the Italian heart is higher than the sky and the fate is thinner than paper, the Mediterranean Sea is not only related to the core interests of France, but also Britain must ensure the safety of the shipping lanes in the Mediterranean, although the Italians are very hard, but unfortunately the Mediterranean Sea is not Italy's inland lake after all.

Britain still has a Mediterranean fleet, and its home port is Alexandria, Egypt.

The headquarters of the League of Nations peacekeeping force is also in Cyprus, Arthur's security is not a problem, and since the end of the world war, several large southern African companies have formed the largest branches in the Mediterranean, and the economy of Cyprus has not had much problem.

But Ida was still worried, worried that Arthur would not be able to adapt to the climate in Cyprus, that Arthur would be safe in Cyprus, and even that Arthur would be personally emotional.

It's also normal, the mother of the child is worried, this has nothing to do with status.

"Don't worry, mother, I'll take care of myself—" Arthur, who is already eighteen years old, is becoming more and more mature, he has received an elite education since childhood, and has been preparing for this moment for more than ten years.

Although Roque has paid less attention to Arthur over the years, Ida has spent countless efforts on Arthur.

"Cyprus now has more than 100,000 permanent residents, most of whom are southern Africans working around the Mediterranean, and Cyprus has not stopped building in recent years, building railways and roads around the island, building well-equipped ports, and with Angel, don't worry-" Roque is still more confident in Cyprus, although southern Africa still has an enclave in Europe, but Cyprus is the closest base camp in southern Africa to Europe.

Ida looked melancholy and looked at Arthur with a sad face.

Roque stayed at Ada's house for dinner in the evening, and after the meal, Roque and Ada sat on the balcony.

"Grace told me about Arthur and Roya again, this dead child seems to have a heart, and he is not enthusiastic about Roya, and I can't refuse Grace, what should I do?" Ada's feelings for Arthur are obviously not as decisive as those for her own.

When Ida decided to be with Roque, the pressure was still very high, and in the environment of Cape Town back then, Ida made such a decision, which was absolutely shocking.

It's a pity that Arthur's attitude towards feelings doesn't seem to be clear, which makes Ida very worried.

Under normal circumstances, Arthur, who has reached the age of 18, is also time to get engaged.

"Have you talked to Arthur?" Roque is also worried, this kind of thing is more convenient for mothers and sons to communicate, and fathers and sons always feel awkward.

"I talked about it, but it didn't work out, Arthur likes Roya, but it's not to the point where Roya doesn't marry." Ida smiled wryly, it is not a secret that Xiao Si wants to marry Roque, but on this issue, Xiao Si and Grace have different attitudes, Xiao Si likes Gavin more, and Grace prefers Arthur.

"Why don't I talk to Arthur tomorrow?" Roque hesitated, Roque was inexperienced in this kind of thing.

In terms of feelings, Roque is actually relatively passive, and Ida and Phyllis, strictly speaking, it is not Roque who is stalking, but a coincidence of fate, which is undemanding.

"Still don't, you can't even handle your own business." Ada despised it, she hated half-hearted people the most, but she was trapped in it here and couldn't extricate herself.

Although Ada didn't recommend it, the next day, Roque still asked Arthur to go fishing with him, and by the way, he learned about Arthur's thoughts.

With sunshine, a gentle breeze and crystal clear water, this environment is indeed very suitable for communication.

However, fishing is more suitable for "older people", and for young people like Arthur, fishing is a bit too quiet.

Looking at the young and old Arthur, Roque was quite pleased.

That's right, whether you like it or not can't be written on your face, and you can't let people see through it at a glance.

"Ready to go to Cyprus?" Roque is simple and straightforward.

"Uh, ready-" Arthur wasn't used to this kind of communication, but he clearly liked the feeling of being with Roque, it didn't matter what he did, as long as he was together.

"Don't worry, if you have any problems, go to your brother Angel and your Uncle Gold, we have garrisons in Port Elizabeth and Marlborough, and we can support Cyprus at any time if needed." Roque could not teach Arthur how to govern Cyprus, but could only give Arthur the greatest protection.

Beirut, renamed Marlborough, has become the largest city on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, and Southern Africa has a division stationed in Marlborough to protect Cyprus and Port Elizabeth, as well as the two river basins.

Arthur smiled and didn't speak, and he did seem to have an idea.
