Erich von Falkingham had not yet received a reply from Roque, who had received a telegram from London.

The haunting Earl of Selborn hinted more subtly that Roque could give due consideration to Erich von Falkingham's suggestion to end the chaos in Tanganyika as soon as possible.

This telegram made Roque confused, Roque remembered that the previous task given to Roque by the Earl of Selborne was to plunge Tanganyika into chaos as much as possible and continue to consume Germany's national strength, and Roque didn't know why, and now the attitude of the Earl of Selburn had turned a hundred and eighty degrees.

Sidney Milner was more aware of the twists and turns, and after reading the telegram, Sidney Milner had a contemptuous expression: "Damn nobles, they are simply moths of the state." ”

This map cannon is a bit big, Roque and Ade are also nobles, Sidney Milner reacted immediately, and then corrected his attitude: "Count Selborn means that the chaos in Tanganyika should not affect the arms race in Europe, so that the power of the War Department will continue to increase, and the whole country will be kidnapped by a few careerists of the War Department-"

In the end, Sidney Milner still couldn't help but complain, some people in the War Department are indeed very excessive, after the arms race began, Britain's defense spending has been rising, and the whole society is serving the War Department, at this time, if Germany takes the initiative to reduce its investment in the arms race because of Tanganyika's attrition, then Britain's investment in the arms race will also be reduced accordingly, which will definitely make many people dissatisfied.

The arms race is a symbol of comprehensive national strength, and just like the future of large aircraft manufacturing, many enterprises in the whole society will participate to a high degree.

Therefore, for the country, the arms race is of course a great consumption of national strength, but for British enterprises and some individuals, the arms race is a carnival with rich rewards, so not everyone stands on the standpoint of people's livelihood and hopes to stop the arms race, and some people are willing to see the arms race continue.

As for whether the arms race will lead to the misery of the people, this is the relationship between the government, and the government should bear the main responsibility for the failure of the economy, and it has nothing to do with the enterprises and individuals.

"Understood—" Roque finally understood Count Selborne's intentions, and at this time, of course, Roque would cooperate unconditionally.

From the standpoint of southern Africa, Roque does not want any accidents in the arms race, it is better to be like another time and space, the arms race will eventually end in World War I, so that Britain's national strength will be consumed by you to the greatest extent, southern Africa will gain more autonomy, and then Roque can also justifiably launch an attack on Southwest Africa and Tanganyika.

If it is still the same as another time and space, after the end of World War I, both Southwest Africa and Tanganyika were entrusted by the League of Nations to join Southern Africa, then the territorial area of Southern Africa at that time -

It's really refreshing to think about.

So the peace talks in Tanganyika went very fast.

On June 28, Erich von Falkingham and Mumu held a new round of negotiations at Glory Castle, witnessed by Roque and Sidney Milner.

The atmosphere of the meeting was not bad, with Roque's timely communication, Mumu and Erich von Falkingham both clearly knew each other's bottom line, and then the negotiation conditions revolved around Lake Ruqua in the southwest of Tanganyika.

On behalf of Zanzibar, Mumu demanded an autonomous status similar to that of southern Africa, and Germany did not interfere in Zanzibar's internal affairs, did not send officials to Zanzibar, did not station troops in Zanzibar, and in addition to retaining some diplomatic rights, Germany lost its de facto control over Zanzibar.

In principle, Erich von Falkingham agreed to Zanzibar's demands, but serious disagreements arose between Erich von Falkingham and Mumu over the delimitation of Zanzibar's territory.

According to Erich von Falkingham, Zanzibar is confined to the southwestern part of Tanganyika, which includes Fort Glory and Lake Ruqua, covering an area of about 50,000 square kilometers.

Mumu affirmed that the extent of Zanzibar should be the area under the de facto control of the Fort Glory forces, which included both the shores of Lake Ruqua and Lake Tanganyika in the southwest, the shores of Lake Nyasa in the south, and even the eastern coast.

Mumu's demand, with a territorial area of nearly 600,000 square kilometers and a total area of Tanganyika, is more than 1 million, which is certainly unacceptable to Erich von Falkingham.

Tanganyika during this period also included Burundi and Rwanda, so it was larger than the future Tanzania.

"You think I'm asking too much, don't you? In fact, far from it, if it is really divided according to the actual control area, Zanzibar should also include the northern region and Lake Victoria, and the actual control area of you Germans in Tanganyika is only the port of safe and Usunbura. Mu Mu doesn't think that his demands are excessive, in Mu Mu's opinion, the Germans' behavior of occupying the pit and not pooping is the real excess.

Compared with neighboring Nyasaland, Tanganyika has indeed not undergone any significant changes during the years of German colonization.

Tanganyika has been a German colony for more than twenty years since 1886.

Within twenty years, the Germans had built only one railway in Tanganyika, Usunbura was just a military port, and the port of Pyongan was built by the Sultan of Majid in Zanzibar, which had little to do with the Germans.

And neighboring Nyasaland, which has only been the territory of Roque for a few years, is now in Nyasaland with developed transportation, a large population, stable law and order, a thriving economy, and countless cities have sprung up.

In fact, the Germans cannot be blamed for this problem, Germany only completed the unification and established the German Empire in 1871, and it has only been more than 30 years now.

Over the past 30 years, Germany has become the world's third economic power, second only to the United States and the United Kingdom, and Germany has defeated France militarily, won the Franco-Prussian War, and began to actively expand its overseas colonies, occupying Southwest Africa and Tanganyika in Africa.

It's just that compared to Nyasaland, which is backed by a big tree, Tanganyika will be overshadowed.

The big tree behind Nyasaland is not only the British Commonwealth, but also the Qing Kingdom in the far east, without the human resources from the Qing State, even if Roque has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to create the current situation.

In this regard, Tanganyika's resources were far inferior to those of Nyasaland, and although Germany was actively exploring the colonies, Germany did not have enough manpower to develop the colonies, and Tanganyika was far less attractive than the British and French colonies in Africa in terms of competition for new immigrants.

At least the British and French colonies in Africa can fully reimburse the immigration expenses of new immigrants, and will provide new immigrants with a certain living allowance, and even allow new immigrants to occupy farms at will, as many as they want, and they will circle up as much as they want, and the African natives not only have no say in this issue, but want to help new immigrants build farms.

Basically, the new immigrants who come to Africa live in Africa really like the Emperor of the Turks, and they are still very attractive to the poor white people in Europe.

Tanganyika is much worse in this regard.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Germany can get Tanganyika and Southwest Africa is because Tanganyika and Southwest Africa do not have the resources that Britain and France can see, so Germany will take advantage of the cheap to pick up the leaks, and if Tanganyika and Southwest Africa also have gold mines similar to Johannesburg, Britain and France will not allow Germany to occupy Tanganyika and Southwest Africa at all.

As a result, it is indeed very difficult for Germany to develop Tanganyika and Southwest Africa, and even the German government is not able to provide much help to Tanganyika and Southwest Africa, and the war reparations that Germany obtained through the Franco-Prussian War will be used to develop the domestic economy, and it will not take care of Tanganyika and Southwest Africa at all.

Therefore, if white people immigrate to Tanganyika and Southwest Africa, not only will they not get financial help, but they will even need to buy from the Tanganyika and Southwest African governments if they want to get farms.

The governments of Tanganyika and South-West Africa are also counting on land sales to subsidize finances.

"All the land in Tanganyika belongs to the German government, and now that the German government has allowed you to live in Fort Honor and Lake Ruqua, you should be grateful, not as greedy as you are now." It was impossible for Erich von Falkingham to accept Mumu's request.

In fact, at the same time as negotiating with the Glory Castle forces, Erich von Falkingham was also actively in contact with Roque, hoping to reach a memorandum of understanding with Rock about the Glory Glory Castle forces, so that in the future, if Germany's strength allowed, then the German government would tear up the agreement with the Glory Glory forces and relaunch the attack on the Glory Castle forces.

"When you didn't come to Tanganyika, we had lived in Tanganyika for thousands of years, our ancestors had been in Tanganyika for generations, and everything in Tanganyika belonged to the Tanganyika people, not you Germans, so who is greedy? Who is shameless? You should be ashamed! "Mu Mu didn't give an inch, the colonists actually had the face to accuse the colonial aborigines of being greedy, and the thickness of this cheek was okay.

"Don't keep talking about Tanganyika, you are Tetera, from the Congo Free State, and you are not the natives of Tanganyika, so if you want to go back to the land where you have lived for generations, it is better to go to the Belgians." Erich von Falkingham didn't realize how excessive his words were, and he hadn't forgotten the trouble.

As for colonization, this is really a bad debt, Tanganyika is one of the birthplaces of ancient humans, and even the Persians who moved in later were not aborigines.

So it's also a bad debt.
