The arms race is an all-out competition of national strength, and Germany's strength is already inferior to that of Britain, and if Tanganyika continues to bleed, it is really difficult to say how long the German government can hold out.

Roque's idea is different from that of the Earl of Selborne, who wants to continue to consume the German government through Tanganyika, but Roque does not want Germany to be affected too much, and considers it from Roque's position, Roque hopes that Germany can focus more on the arms race, so that the world war will break out as scheduled, and southern Africa will have a chance.

Of course, this kind of thing must not be said to the Earl of Selborne, on the surface Roque will definitely think about Britain wholeheartedly, so Roque agreed very simply: "No problem, I will delay the situation in Tanganyika as much as possible, and pay the greatest attention to the German government-"

"Excellent! Locke, work hard, and your knighthood should be promoted soon. "The Earl of Selburn was pleased with Roque's attitude.

Roque doesn't matter, the baron is the same as the viscount and the earl, in fact, there is not much difference, the baron already enjoys all the rights that the nobles have, no matter how high it is, it doesn't make sense, it's good now.

At the end of October, reinforcements from South-West Africa finally arrived in Tanganyika, and Fontrotta was finally able to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the rebels at Fort Glory.

However, to Vontrota's surprise, the rebels who had been entrenched in Glory for several months suddenly disappeared without a trace, and Vontrotta held back a heavy punch that almost suffocated internal injuries.

After inspecting the camp of the Glory Castle rebels, Von Trotta concluded that the total number of the Glory Castle rebels should be around 3,000 now, which is generally within the controllable range.

With a force of 3,000, it was impossible for them to disappear for no reason, so Vontrotta decided that the rebels of Fort Glory were hiding in Nyasaland and waiting for an opportunity to return to Tanganyika.

The German government and Tanganyika again protested to Nyasaland.

Nyasaland was a little numb by the protests, so he did not respond to such unfounded accusations, and the newspapers in London continued to report on the humanitarian disaster that had occurred in Tanganyika.

Or hype.

Soon, it turned out that the Fort Glory rebels were not in Nyasaland at all, but on the territory of Tanganyika.

On 5 November, a Tanganyika patrol was attacked 20 kilometers north of Fort Glory, killing all 120 soldiers and 12 German officers, marking the first time that the Tanganyika Servant Army was destroyed in a field battle by the Fort Glory rebels.

The scene was said to have been horrific, with the Fort Glory rebels taking all their weapons, stripping the servants and German officers of their clothes, and cutting off the German officers' arms.

Just like the Germans used to do, cut at the elbow.

It is clear that this was the revenge of the rebels at Fort Glory against the Germans.

Everyone was shocked by the outcome of the battle, but it was not the end of the battle, as on November 7, a convoy was also attacked by the Glory Castle rebels, who took everything they could and burned on the spot if they couldn't.

Survivors of the battle confirmed that the Fort Glory rebels had heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns, and were skilled in the use of grenades in war, not a rabble at all, but a well-trained army.

This situation once again provided strong evidence of Nyasaland's support for the Fort Glory rebels, and the German government issued an ultimatum to Nyasaland that if Nyasaland did not stop supporting the Fort Glory rebels in Tanganyika, then the German government would consider this an act of war.

Roque didn't care about this threat, Tanganyika's servant army couldn't even defeat the rebels of Fort Glory, let alone the Northern Rhodesian Division, which had the upper hand in equipment and training.

Perhaps at this time, Vontrotta will reflect on his actions and regret that he did not seriously deal with the person who caused all this in the first place.

Of course, it's too late to regret it now, there is no turning back when he shoots the bow, even if Vontrotta turns around and seriously deals with the stunned Qing who shot rashly at that time, Roque will not stop supporting Mu Mu.

Of course, in the face of the threat of war from the Germans, Roque has also quietly ordered the Northern Rhodesia Division and the newly formed First Cavalry Division to raise the alert level and prepare for battle.

As for whether it is reasonable and legal to take the lead in the first move, no one cares about this issue, no matter what you do if you win, it is reasonable and legal, and even if you can't win, no one cares about your reasons.

In mid-November, the four colonies of southern Africa finally agreed on the establishment of a federal government in southern Africa, and Roque was occupied by Tanganyika for most of his energy, and the Legislative Assembly was finally settled in Bloemfontein, the judicial capital in Cape Town, and Pretoria in the administrative capital, all exactly as the Earl of Selborne had suggested.

In addition to the capital, Roque's other demands were met, Henry became the federal government's attorney general, Hopkins became the federal government's secretary of defense and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and Roque held the position of deputy secretary of defense, concurrently serving as deputy secretary of justice, and also served as deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and was also promoted to the rank of general.

Nyasaland and Rhodesia officially joined the federal government, the new 1st Cavalry Division was reorganized into the 1st Division, the Northern Rhodesia Division was reorganized into the 2nd Division, and Roque was also responsible for the formation of the 3rd Division stationed in the Cape and the 4th Division stationed in Natal.

As the deputy commander-in-chief in charge of specific work, Roque set up the headquarters and general staff in Nyasaland for the first time, the chief of staff is ready-made, Major General Derek Dodd from the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst has enough qualifications, his rank at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst is still a lieutenant colonel, and now he is a major general, if he serves as chief of staff, then the rank is estimated to be promoted to lieutenant general, it is really a tree to move the dead and the dead.

Hopkins is very satisfied with the post of secretary of defense, does not interfere in specific affairs, and even has no opinion on the candidates for the commanders of the newly formed third and fourth divisions, and all the power is in Roque.

So many people tried everything they could to get a chance to perform in front of Roque.

Roque was in no mood to deal with those guys, and stayed in Little Rock to accompany Phyllis and the newborn Alvin.

The meaning of the name Alvin is "friend who is liked by everyone", and Roque and Phyllis want Alvin to have a happy life in this life, so they give Alvin this name.

As long as Gavin can grow up, then Gavin will make the first heir to the Baron of Nyasaland, although Alvin is the second in line to the title, but he may not have the opportunity to inherit in his life, so Roque and Phyllis are very compensatory to Alvin.

Don't worry about this problem, Roque has a lot of wealth now, and when the time comes, just give Alvin some more.

Of course, this is on the premise that Roque and Phyllis only have two children, and if there is a third-

I still have to keep making money.

"Countesses can give birth to girls, why isn't Alvin—" Phyllis wished Alvin was a girl, but unfortunately she didn't.

Just a month before Alvin's birth, Ida gave birth to a girl in Paris, and now Phyllis has accepted it, not only did not blame Roque, but sent Ada's blessing as soon as possible.

Anyway, Ada's children can't inherit Roque's title, and Ada herself is also wealthy, maybe even Roque's property is not rare.

But when Alvin was born, Phyllis's psychology began to be unbalanced again, and now Phyllis also knows a lot about traditional oriental culture, and knows that she needs to have a daughter and a son in order to make a "good".

"Don't worry, we still have a chance in the future, the key is not to let Alvin know, otherwise Alvin will be sad." Roque reclined in a rocking chair and enjoyed the peaceful afternoon sun.

"Look at your son, he's biting the big guy—" Phyllis now has more sons, and she doesn't look down on her son in all sorts of ways.

Gavin is playing with the big guy and is interested in the big guy's big ears.

Probably because he didn't feel like he was just playing with it, Gavin bit the big man's ear directly with his mouth, probably wanting to taste the taste of the big man's ear.

The big man didn't move, letting Gavin knead it casually, occasionally asking for help from Roque and Phyllis with helpless and depressed eyes.

Most of them were Phyllis, and Roark clearly didn't care enough about the big guys.

"Deserves it, this dog is more than sixty pounds now, and if he gets fat, he will just kill and eat meat-" Roque is not distressed, he has no time to walk the dog during this time, and the big man is obviously bigger.

"Why doesn't Nyasaland use the imperial system, but the metric system?" Phyllis is very interested in Nyasaland, and even though Nyasaland is now part of the Federal Government of Southern Africa and is no longer Roque's private domain, Phyllis sees Nyasaland as her and Roque's real home.

"The imperial system is inconvenient to use, and sooner or later it will be eliminated." Roque not only wants to use the metric system in Nyasaland, but will implement the metric system throughout southern Africa in the future, even Qin Shi Huang knows that the car is the same as the track, the same text, but the British always like to engage in their own small circle culture, absolute island country thinking.

"Yesterday when I was having tea with Mrs. Dodd, Mrs. Dodd said that there were rumors in Nyasaland that there was a purge of Germans, and you should be careful." Phyllis's thinking is also very jumpy.

Now the relationship between Nyasaland and Tanganyika is becoming more and more strained, and if war breaks out between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, then according to the general thinking, it is indeed very likely that Nyasaland will purge the Germans.

But Roque certainly wouldn't do that.
