It can be challenging for a responsible person to work in a place like Somaliland.

It's not that the harsh environment is, no matter how bad the environment is, there are oases in the desert, not to mention the coastal terrain of Somaliland, even if the inland area has a bad environment, no matter how bad the coastal area is, it will not be bad.

Compared to the environment, it is the people who are really unbearable.

Somalis –

Anyway, like Africans in other parts of Africa, Somalis don't have to work hard to get by.

The "passable" here is just the level of starvation, freezing and thirst, which is different from "passable" in the normal sense.

Here we have to take out the Marquilo needs theory, not only Chinese, but most white people are the same, after solving the most basic food and clothing, they began to pursue a higher level, from the most basic physiology to safety, socialization, respect, and self-realization - corresponding to different needs at different levels, there may be special cases in individuals, but for most people, the Markilo needs theory is correct.

But in Africans, the Makilo demand theory is not correct, it is also a matter of proportion, in other ethnic groups, most of the time the Makilo demand theory is correct, but most Africans after meeting the most basic physiological needs, they begin to stagnate at this stage, they will not find ways to create wealth, and they do not know how to save for primitive accumulation when they have money, but spend the money first, and then find a way to make money.

It's not that they don't care about safety, socialization, respect, and self-fulfillment, but they don't realize that most Africans don't have a sense of security, socialization, respect, and self-fulfillment.

If you ask them about their ideals, the most idealistic of them probably want to drive the British away, so that they can return to their previous state of life.

As for the changes brought by the British, sorry, that's not what the Somalis want, they don't want to live in a big house with a big and bright room, because a big house with a big house has to be kept clean and tidy, and thatched houses are best for lazy people, anyway, there is no floor, even if it is dirty, you can't see it.

They don't want faster trains either, and many Somalis live their lives in areas of no more than 100 square kilometres. For Somalis, not only is there no poetry in life, but there is not even a distant place.

They also don't want democracy, the concept of democracy is too complicated for them, many of them don't understand the relationship between the minority and the majority, the core of democracy is the subordination of the minority to the majority, or mediocrity to the elite, but for some people, the core of democracy is the subordination of others to me.

In this case, to work in Somaliland, it really takes a big heart.

Colonel George Jensen has a big heart, he knows that his ability is insufficient, and he knows that relying on the strength of the colonial government of Somaliland cannot quell the rebellion in Somaliland, so Colonel George Jensen chose to obey Roque unconditionally, not only because Roque is the Marquis of Nyasaland, but also because Roque is also a colonial official, but the energy shown in southern Africa is very different from that of Somaliland.

However, not everyone is as wise as Colonel George Jensen, and after Colonel George Jensen blows, Colonel Watt does not admit defeat.

"If we kill all the Somalis, then what is the point of us here? Do you sprinkle water and mud and play on your own? "Watt is a colonel like George Jensen, and in terms of rank, Colonel George Jensen has no jurisdiction over Colonel Watt.

At the rank of colonel, he is already a high-ranking officer, and even if Colonel Watt makes a mistake on this issue, the biggest punishment may only be to work in another place.

This is not necessarily a punishment for colonial officers working in Somalia.

"You are simply unreasonable, I can't communicate with you, I will send a telegram to London asking for you to be transferred out of Somaliland, or I will be transferred out of Somaliland." Colonel George Jensen did not save face for Colonel Watt, and directly chose one of the two to see what London would choose.

"I will also send a telegram to London, those soldiers are assets of the British Empire, and you have no right to dissolve them when you say disband." Colonel Watt was rightly convinced, presumably not understanding the difference between profit and loss in an asset.

Colonel George Jensen didn't talk nonsense, raised his hand to call the guards outside the door in, and kicked Colonel Watt out of the conference room,

The guards at the gate had been replaced by the guards battalion soldiers beside Roque.

"No, you don't have this right, and the Marquis of Nyasaland can't deprive me of the right to attend the meeting, you're overstepping your authority-" Colonel Watt still wanted to resist, if he didn't mention Roque, it was estimated that the guards would save him some face, but now the guards were not polite, and directly put Colonel Watt up and pulled him out.

"Who agrees and who opposes now?" Colonel George Jensen has already gotten into Roque's chariot, so it's going to be a way to the dark.

The room was silent, and no one spoke to the officers, who probably had an opinion in their hearts about Colonel George Jensen, but they had an opinion about Roque—

Don't dare, really don't dare.

The streamlining work began immediately, and the criterion for judging the loyalty of soldiers was not the likes and dislikes of officers, but their origins and backgrounds, and all soldiers whose relatives, neighbors, and even tribes had joined the rebels were all expelled from the army, and the final statistics were the same as those judged by Lieutenant Colonel Leander, and only 98 soldiers passed the examination out of a total of 2,000 people, and only superficially, whether they were members of the rebels, or whether they were sympathetic to the rebels in their hearts, no one could guarantee whether they were members of the rebels.

After getting the list, Colonel George Jensen adjusted the list again, and all the soldiers who killed the rebels in the previous battle with the rebels were also included in the list that can be trusted, so that the list increased by more than 100 people, reaching 265, which is finally passable.

At the same time, more than 500 people were added to the untrustworthy list, and these untrustworthy soldiers were different from the neutral soldiers, who had fled from previous battles with the rebels or spread disloyalty in the barracks.

In the middle and late stages of the World War, all soldiers who dared to flee in the charge were to be shot, and soldiers who spread disloyalty were not tolerated at any time, so these more than 500 soldiers were to be shot according to the demand of Colonel George Jensen.

Carried out by those soldiers who can be trusted.

"We have to guarantee the absolute loyalty of these soldiers, as long as they pass this hurdle, they can gain our full trust, otherwise they are also fellow rebels." George Jensen can be a colonel, and he is not an ordinary ruthless.

Angel didn't speak, his task was to cooperate with Colonel George Jensen, as long as these soldiers did not mutiny, no matter what Colonel George Jensen did, Angel would not interfere.

While the officers were meeting to discuss, the soldiers brought by Angel gradually took over the defense of the camp, and all the soldiers were asked to go to the playground without weapons and stand by according to the list.

In Somaliland in October, the weather was still a little hot, and these scattered soldiers complained and gathered in the playground in twos and threes, without the slightest appearance of soldiers.

The soldiers of the guard battalion were not in a hurry, there were six armored vehicles around the playground, two more at the gate, and the last two were guarding the arsenal, before that, Colonel George Jensen had been on guard against these soldiers, the soldiers had no bullets in their rifles, and when there was a combat mission, each soldier could only get five rounds, and there was no order to shoot casually.

This is also to prevent ammunition from flowing into the hands of the rebels, the Somali rebels have no ability to produce bullets, and there is no channel to buy ammunition from abroad, even if there are channels, it is estimated that there is no money to buy it, so Hargeisa and Berbera are still under the control of the colonial government, otherwise, with the strength of the colonial government in Somaliland, it is estimated that they would have been driven out of Somalia by the Somali rebels long ago.

Not surprisingly, when the decision was announced, the soldiers who had been disarmed and lined up in different lists on the playground were in an uproar.

At this time, the treatment of those "disloyal soldiers" has not yet been announced.

The soldiers of the three squares also behaved very differently, with the best performing being the "Loyal Soldiers", who were still able to remain quiet, but there was still panic in the soldiers' eyes.

The most restless were the "disloyal" soldiers, who had already begun to riot, clamoring to approach the officers at the front of the ranks, who could not be silenced even if they shouted loudly and even whipped them.

The neutral soldiers remained neutral, they didn't know what was happening, and they looked dazed and overwhelmed.

"Quiet, quiet—" Colonel George Jensen yelled twice, seeing that it had no effect, and drew his pistol directly.

Bang!

There was a moment of silence in the messy playground, but only for a moment, and when the "disloyal" soldiers reacted, their emotions became even more agitated.

"The British shot, the British shot—"

"Oh my God, they're going to kill us all!"

"We can't sit still—"

The commotion of the soldiers quickened their pace, shouting loudly to embolden themselves as they swarmed towards the officers.

An officer tried to stop the soldiers who had fallen into a rage, but in the blink of an eye they were overwhelmed by the soldiers, and someone tried to snatch the officer's pistol.

All of them –

The vehicle-mounted large-caliber heavy machine gun finally opened fire, and the commotion of the soldiers suddenly turned on their backs—

ps: There are still ten monthly passes for Akali, you just say what's cool-
