Roque frequently met with various immortals, and the news was quickly summarized to Frank.

Putting down the list in his hand, Frank's face was gloomy, and he leaned back in his chair and rubbed his head weakly.

It was really eventful, and Frank was frantically complaining about the Belgians who had killed themselves, and at Frank's hand, there was also a telegram forwarded by London, which was sent to London by Leopold II, asking London to explain the attack on two companies of the Congo Free State by unknown forces.

Even Leopold II said that it was an "unknown force", so why did Leopold II let London explain?

It wasn't London!

He also wanted to cover up the "attack", as if the British government did not know the truth, and if it was really just an "attack", Leopold II would not have made such a big fanfare.

"The Lord's secretary said that this matter had nothing to do with Nyasaland, and urged us to urge the Belgian government to respond as soon as possible to the attack on the Nyasaland people—" Chris was also full of sadness, and the War Office was now thankless, and it was not a human being inside and out.

"Why do you want us to respond, who do we go to?" Frank slapped the table, his face flushed with rage, and he gasped so hard that he blew his beard up.

Chris didn't speak, this is the responsibility of Frank, the director of the war office, and it has nothing to do with Chris, a small soldier.

Frank picked up the phone and dialed the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company, but the phone rang for a long time but no one answered, making Frank so angry that he slammed the receiver on the phone.

Chris was terrified, if Frank dropped the phone in a fit of rage, the War Office would have to pay for it.

It's really a tight budget.

"Prepare the car—" Frank decided to come to the door to find someone.

Chris didn't speak, obediently went to prepare the carriage, and now when he spoke, no matter what he said, Frank would be used as a punching bag.

When Frank arrives at Nyasaland Agricultural Development Corporation, Roark is reassuring Phyllis.

Things don't happen in a day or two on the Nyasaland side, and Roque estimates that he may not be able to return to Johannesburg for Christmas, so Roque and Phyllis's wedding date has to be postponed.

Phyllis didn't come to ask for guilt, but to fight alongside Roque, and in Phyllis's words, now Phyllis wants to be with Roque unconditionally.

"I'm sorry Lord, Madam, to bother me." Although Frank knew it was inappropriate, he knocked on the door anyway.

Roque glared at Don, Don had an innocent face, Frank was the director of the War Office, and if he wanted to break into Roque's office, Don really couldn't stop him.

"Sit down, Frank, Phyllis, please pour us a cup of coffee-" Roark had no one around him, so he could only grab Phyllis's top bag.

Phyllis politely saluted Frank before pouring her coffee.

Frank was in a hurry and almost bumped into Chris as he bent over and bowed.

"Lord, can you suspend the operation against the Congo Free State?" Frank gets straight to the point.

"Frank, I've already said that the Congo Free State has nothing to do with me." Roque still pushed it all out, and Frank definitely didn't get the latest news, otherwise Frank would have been more anxious by now.

After wiping out two companies of Congolese colonial troops, Martin did not stop, and the child continued to penetrate deeper into the interior of the Congolese Free State.

Lara had also led his troops into the Congo Free State, but in a different direction than Martin's attack, Martin was along Lake Tanganyika and took advantage of Lake Tanganyika's easy access to penetrate deep into the interior of the Congo Free State.

Lala led his forces from Lake Mweru and now occupied an important Belgian stronghold on the shores of Lake Mweru.

The Congolese Commonwealth is an important stronghold on the border between the Congo Free State and Nyasaland, and it is also the only Belgian stronghold within 150 kilometers of the Congo Mandate.

Now Leopold II should not know what happened to the Pu commission, otherwise with Leopold II's character, he would definitely continue to send telegrams to London now, and then the board in London would definitely still be slapped on Frank's ass.

"Lord, I personally have no objection to Nyasaland punishing the Congo Free State, but we are going to do it in a way that is acceptable to all." Frank tries to get the situation back on track, but that stokes Roque's anger even more.

"What's the way that's acceptable to everyone? The Congo Free State will apologize, and then symbolically pay some money, and even the perpetrators will not hand it over, this method may be acceptable to everyone, but sorry, I can't accept it, the Congo Free State must give me an explanation that satisfies me and Nyasaland, otherwise I will use my own way to get justice for Nyasaland. "Roque is unrelenting, the lives of white people are valuable, is the life of the Chinese people just grass mustard, can be allowed to be killed by white people?

I'm sorry, Roque doesn't think so, if the white people in the Congo Free State think that the Chinese in Nyasaland can let them hunt at will as much as they want, then Roque will hunt the white people in the Congo Free State at will, and everyone can hurt each other at will until one side completely surrenders.

"Sir, can you tell me what are the conditions that you can accept?" Frank finally realizes that Roque won't stop if he doesn't meet Roque's demands.

"Hand over the perpetrators, hold the management of the Antwerp company accountable, and fully compensate Nyasaland for the damages—" Roque made a condition, apologies are of course necessary, and tangible benefits are also required.

"How much do you lose money?" Frank doesn't bother with the first two, mainly the reparation, the estimated number is small, and Roque will not agree.

"A million pounds!" Sure enough, the lion opened his mouth.

"Lord, let's be realistic, there are only three people killed in Nyasaland, do you want 330,000 each?" Frank almost collapsed, let alone a living person, even if it was made of gold, it was not so expensive.

"Hehe, Frank, you only saw three Chinese killed, but do you know how many people I mobilized for this matter?" Roque wanted not only a pension, but of course the cost of moving the army, which was a cost.

"How much?" Frank has ulterior motives.

"Now it is at least three thousand, and if Leopold II does not agree to this request within a week, then the cost will continue to increase." Roque doesn't mind letting Frank know Roque's strength, although more than 2,000 of these 3,000 people are Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei is also a human being, and he also needs people to eat horses.

Frank began to rub his face after hearing this, he did not doubt the authenticity of this figure, but he was curious how Roque managed to annihilate two companies in the Congo Free State without losing a single person.

"Sir, I'm afraid the Belgians won't approve of this fee." Frank did not think that Leopold II would accept such a condition, and Leopold II's earnings in the Congo Free State would not necessarily be a million pounds a year.

Although the Congo Free State also has mineral resources, but the Belgians will not go through the trouble to mine, the Congo Free State's economic pillars are rubber and ivory, with these two incomes, Leopold II and the Belgian dignitaries have already made a lot of money, so no one really goes to the Congo Free State to mine.

In order to harvest more ivory and rubber, the Belgians forced the Congolese into the plantations with rifles and bayonets, and the natural rubber forests of the Congo Free State were destroyed extensively, and the Congolese were forced to use the quick and costly method of cutting down rubber trees or peeling the rubber in order to meet the heavy taxes.

This is the killing of chickens and eggs, and the concession companies are only interested in the immediate interests and never cultivate new rubber trees, so the rubber forests of the Congo Free State are gradually depleted, and the yield is doubled.

Running a plantation had the added strain of being forced to tap rubber and serve in forced labor, with the result that agriculture was neglected, vast tracts of land were barren, the population was rapidly declining, and the Congo Free State was now a living hell.

"It doesn't matter, the Belgians can not approve, or they can not hand over, and they will not punish the management of the Antwerp company, as long as the Belgians can withstand the wrath of the Congolese, then they will do whatever they want." Roque is not worried that the Belgians will not bow their heads, and if they do not bow their heads, they will hit the Belgians with their heads down.

Listening to Roque's understated tone, Frank felt that even his teeth began to hurt, Roque is deeply rooted in the essence of the British Empire in this aspect of shamelessness, everyone knows that it was the Nyasaland who attacked the colonial army in the Congo Free State, but Roque said that he was Congolese, I am afraid that the Congolese would not believe it if they knew.

It can't be said that before the drastic changes in Portuguese East Africa, no one believed that the Yao people could defeat the Portuguese, and as a result, the fate of the Portuguese was seen by the whole world.

So now, who would dare to despise the "Congolese" in Roque's mouth!

"Alright Sir, I will convey your request, and hopefully a good outcome." Frank knew that Roque would not change the conditions, and he would not continue to talk nonsense, and simply left the choice to the Belgians.

The Belgians, of course, would not rest on their laurels, and on the same day they received a telegram from the British government, Leopold II ordered the Congo Free State to expand its armaments and war, and tried to gather mercenaries from Europe to go to the Congo Free State to help maintain law and order.

Roque is of course also continuing to increase his troops in the Congo Free State, but Roque does not need to mobilize the Nyasalanders, and the Yao can provide Roque with enough troops.

In mid-December, at least 5,500 Yao people entered the Congo Free State from Nyasaland, plus 300 Rhodesian Northern Division Training Camps and 800 Nyasaland militia groups, Roque sent nearly 7,000 people to the Congo Free State in just half a month.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness, the ability to transport troops in a single round, Nyasaland will completely destroy the Belgians, Roque has already sent people to the Congo Free State, Leopold II's mercenaries have not moved, and if they want to rush to the Congo Free State and participate in the war, it will be at least in 1903.
