The Belgian government probably did not know how badly the Congo Free State and Nyasaland had lost during the time of Leopold II.

Even if you know, it is estimated that the Belgian government will not care, in the eyes of the Belgian government, probably Leopold II and his mercenaries are a little incompetent, so they will lose to Nyasaland, and now the Belgian government has just taken over the Belgian Congo, probably to try the energy of Nyasaland, maybe also want to get the North Sea back.

Leopold II probably will not remind the Belgian government that after losing the jurisdiction of the Congo, Leopold II suffered heavy losses, when the propaganda offensive against Leopold II had just begun, and the Belgian government did not help Leopold II get out of trouble, but fell into the ground, Leopold II must not have forgotten, it is estimated that Leopold II was waiting to see the joke at this time.

As for the mercenaries—

Who cares, cannon fodder is the meaning of the existence of mercenaries.

Anton was definitely reluctant to let the officers and soldiers of the northern Rhodesia Division be cannon fodder, so Anton wanted to beat the Belgian government once and for all, so that the Belgian government could live in peace.

It was Company D of the Training Battalion of the Northern Rhodesian Division that received the task.

After the attack, the commander of D Company, Wei Zhen, immediately asked Anton to fight, and the officers and men of D Company even wrote a bloody letter strongly demanding revenge.

If Anton had given this task to other companies, it was estimated that the officers and men of Company D would have rebelled.

But it was not possible to hand it over directly to Company D, and Anton was still worried that Wei Zhen's revenge would affect the actions of the troops.

The slightest mistake would have disgraced the northern Rhodesian division.

"Don't worry, teacher, if something goes wrong, you will collapse me when you turn around!" Wei Zhen swore an oath, and he almost made a military writ directly.

"If you collapse, you can recover the loss?" Anton doesn't like this attitude, if something really goes wrong, even if he really collapses Wei Zhen, he can't change the result.

The mercenaries must be hiding in a corner of Belgian Congo now, waiting for the troops of the northern Rhodesian division to retaliate, if Anton sends people over in such a hurry, maybe he will suffer, so Anton now has to wait for Lala's information, unless Lala finds the location of the mercenaries, Anton will send D Company.

Of course, there is another way to retaliate, and that is to directly attack other targets in Belgian Congo.

This method also had a great temptation for Anton, as the territory bordering Nyasaland in the Congo was basically the sphere of influence of the Antwerp Company, and if the Northern Rhodesia Division expanded its attack area, then the Antwerp Company would become the target of the Northern Rhodesia Division.

Considering the relationship between the Antwerp company and Nyasaland -

Can be considered!

Anton's question, Wei Zhen is not easy to answer, so Wei Zhen directly pretended to be stupid.

Anton still gave a careful advice, and then asked Wei Zhen to go back to prepare.

Since it was a cross-border attack, it was certainly not allowed to wear the uniforms of the Northern Rhodesia Division, and nothing related to the Northern Rhodesia Division could be carried, including the weapons commonly used by the officers and men of Company D.

This made the officers and men of Company D very unaccustomed to it, so the preparations that should be made should still be made, and at least the officers and men of Company D should be familiar with the new weapons, so that they would have a greater chance of victory.

On Christmas afternoon, the concert was held in the Plaza de la Cecil Rhodes, and the Italian Symphony Orchestra played a number of world-famous songs, which won warm applause from the audience.

Xiao Si was also one of the audience, sitting in the crowd with Roque and whispering.

"You can figure out how to build a concert hall or something in the open air-" Xiao Si was very dissatisfied with this environment, which was not conducive to enjoying the symphony, and it was difficult to hear it clearly from a little distance.

"If this is really a concert hall, are you too embarrassed to speak?" Roque disdains Xiao Si's behavior, some of them are good to listen to, Roque still knows how to celebrate Christmas, Rhodesia doesn't even have a celebration, and it is a shame that Xiao Si still has the face to give advice to Roque.

"What's so embarrassing about that, don't say that the art is elegant, and the elegant artists will also come to Africa to perform for pay." Xiao Si is a standard layman, and no matter how elegant the topic is, he can talk to you about it.

The Italian artists were not cheap, but Roque could afford it, so the artists gave up Christmas to reunite with their families and traveled all the way to Nyasaland.

In fact, Roque also thought about forming a symphony orchestra in Nyasara, but it seemed a bit difficult at the moment, so this plan had to be postponed.

For the Chinese, the attraction of the symphony is actually not as good as the drama, not to mention that the art knows no borders, why the East is not popular opera and popular drama is for a reason, no matter how good the symphony is, you must know how to appreciate it.

As for the theater, this is really not a problem, at least not the main problem, and the main task of Nyasaland now is to develop the economy and build spiritual civilization after the next generation of Chinese grow up, and the current Nyasaland is not qualified to talk about spiritual civilization.

Ninety-nine percent of the Chinese in Nyasaland have not received any education, and the construction of spiritual civilization for them is basically of little effect, and it is difficult for adults to change their perception of the world, and Roque is not able to improve the cultural level of all Chinese, which is different from the original police station with only a few hundred policemen, and now there are too many Chinese, even if Roque has money, he cannot find enough teachers.

"I heard that the Belgians attacked the patrol of the Northern Rhodesian Division?" Xiao Si is still very well informed, just like Rhodesia doesn't have many secrets to Roque, Nyasaland doesn't have many secrets to Xiao Si.

"It seems to be a Belgian mercenary, I've asked Lara to find their exact location, just let me find them, hehe-" Roque couldn't swallow this breath either, the blood debt had to be paid with blood.

"I have a friend who wants to get to know you, Lawrence Amelia of the Antwerp company, how about it, would you like to meet you?" Xiao Si squeezed his eyebrows, and Roque's heart suddenly moved.

Lawrence Amelia is the new general manager of the Antwerp company, before Laurence Amelia spent more than three months in Johannesburg, Roque has endured not seeing Laurence Amelia, and then Roque went to Natal to quell the rebellion, and has never heard from Laurence Amelia again.

Now it seems that Lawrence Amelia did not give up, and still seized the opportunity to show favor to Roque.

"What is he doing here?" Roque is certainly interested, as long as Lawrence Amelia has what Roque wants.

"That mercenary, Lawrence Amelia knows where that mercenary is." Xiao Si's answer made Roque very satisfied.

"Where is he?" Roque agreed.

"It's in my car." Xiao Si is very proud, this guy has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it, and now he has bought a new car.

Roque was sure not to see Lawrence Amelia in the car, so he went back to Eagle Castle with Smalls.

"Those mercenaries came to Lubumbashi a month ago, and they should still be near Lubumbashi now." Laurence Amelia was a standard Englishman, with a silk top hat, tuxedo, walking stick, and too much wax on her hair, which made her look a little greasy.

"How do you know?" Roque said slowly, cutting his cigar in his hand unhurriedly.

Roque can be sure that Lawrence Amelia is also uneasy and kind.

The mercenaries had already arrived in Lubumbashi a month ago, and if Lawrence Amelia wanted to give the news, he would not have waited until today.

I'm afraid that Lawrence Amelia waited for the attack to happen before deliberately showing goodwill, in this case, then Lawrence Amelia is really reprehensible.

"Their provisions are provided by our Antwerp company, sorry Lord, I didn't know before that their purpose was for the patrols of the Northern Rhodesian Division, they came to Lubumbashi under the guise of hunting, there are many such people every month, and no one knows what their purpose is until the attack takes place." Lawrence Amelia knew she would be suspected, but she couldn't let go of this opportunity to show her goodwill.

"Very well, now I want to annihilate them, do you have any good suggestions?" Roque temporarily accepts Lawrence Amelia's explanation, the truth of the matter is not really important, Roque only needs the result.

"Sir, if you need them, I can send them all to you and accept your punishment." Lawrence Amelia put it simply, it is certainly risky to do so, but as long as it is done, it is no less than a vote.

"No, the Northern Rhodesian Division is capable of doing it." Roque didn't want to fake his hands on others, and this revenge could only be avenged by the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesia Division.

To be the general manager of the Antwerp company, Lawrence Amelia is not good at stubble, the status of the Antwerp company in the Congo is actually similar to that of the South African company in Rhodesia, the Antwerp company also has an army, and it is not difficult to deal with 100 mercenaries, especially under the premise that the Antwerp company is responsible for providing supplies for the mercenaries.

However, Roque did not need Lawrence Amelia to do that, which was an affront to the Belgian government's attack on the Northern Rhodesian Division, which had to wash away its shame with its own hands.

Although strictly speaking, this is not a shame.

Is there a war, there must be losses and wins, especially under the premise of the opponent's sneak attack, it is normal to lose one, just find the field next time.

"Well, Lord, whatever you want to do, the Antwerp company will cooperate unconditionally." Lawrence Amelia sold the mercenary without hesitation, and if he could befriend Roque through this matter, then the price would be greater, and Lawrence Amelia would be acceptable.

"Good!" Roque was basically satisfied with Lawrence Amelia's attitude, but a mere mercenary would certainly not satisfy Roque's appetite.
