The 643 curtain has been opened
When this batch of weapons was handed over to Barry, Yaya reminded Barry not to rush to launch an attack on the Republic of Congo, and to wait for the troops to complete their training and have a certain combat effectiveness before they made another attempt.
Barry obviously didn't listen, and he didn't know whether he was in a hurry to avenge Banda, or to prove himself, the war between countries was not a fight between two tribes, it was countless times more complicated than a fight, and with the current strength of the Kingdom of Kongo, it would be difficult to organize a successful campaign.
Looking back, Barry, like some losers who think they have no fear in their laps, still asks Yaya for help.
This time, the aid is no longer begging, but has the meaning of threat, and the reason is naturally very simple, if Yaya interrupts the aid to the Kingdom of Congo, then once the Kingdom of Congo fails, all Yaya's previous investments will be in vain.
It's better to go down the drain and at least make a sound when you throw the money into the water.
Yaya will definitely not be threatened by this, if it is replaced by Roque, at least Barry will be given a chance to save himself, but Yaya will not even give a chance, three days after the defeat of the Battle of Leopoldville, Barry drank too much wine and fell into the river and disappeared, and his body was not found, and it is estimated that he has been buried in the belly of the fish.
After losing its leader twice in a month, the rebels finally fell apart, and the Taytera chieftain from Tanganyika, Lutaitai, came out on top as the rebel's third leader.
Originally from Tanganyika, he held out until 1908 during the last uprising against Belgium in 1901, and he himself gained great popularity among Africans in the Congo Free State.
Prestige alone cannot become a rebel leader, the main reason for Lu Taitai's sudden rise is because Lu Taitai has an elite force of about 1,000 people, this unit has received a certain degree of military training in Tanganyika, military literacy is relatively high, although the number is not large, but it is already very rare in the rebels of the Congo Free State.
After the rebellion in the Congo Free State, Lu Taitai returned to the Congo Free State as soon as possible, but was ostracized by Banda and Barry, and Lu Taitai also complained about the rebels' unscrupulous destruction during the war, and as a result, he was unpopular and was arranged by Banda to guard the border between the Congo Free State and Tanganyika.
The deaths of Banda and Barry finally gave Lu Tai a chance, and in just ten days, Lu Tai Tai Tai's men had gathered more than 50,000 rebels, the strongest of all the rebels.
Lu Taitai was naturally chosen by Yaya to become the spokesman for the interests of Southern Africa in the Congo Free State.
"Lu Taitai and Mu Mu have a good relationship, they have fought side by side in Tanganyika, and they have established a deep friendship, Lu Taitai's troops were rebuilt with the help of Mu Mu, and Lu Taitai is also willing to take on the debts left by Banda and Bari - "Yaya is going to fight shirtless, he is responsible for Roque's investment, if Roque's investment is lost, then Yaya will also be unlucky."
Under Yaya's coercion and inducement, Banda and Bari both signed an agreement with Yaya on the transfer of land, if the Kingdom of Congo becomes independent, according to the agreement between Yaya, Banda and Bari, with the Lualaba River as the boundary, after the independence of the Kingdom of Congo, it will be transferred to the newly established Congolese company, which covers an area of more than 500,000 square kilometers and occupies almost a quarter of the Congo Free State.
Before handing over the administration of the Congo Free State to the Belgian government, Leopold II leased most of the land in the Congo Free State to five companies in which he had shares, each of which had hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, and the reality was more magical than the absurdity of the twenty-first century at the beginning of the twentieth century.
"Send a telegram to Isaiah, they can negotiate now, tell Isaiah that no more accidents will be allowed." Roque emphasized that the first Balkan war was almost over, and there was no result on the side of the Congo Free State, and Roque's patience was getting less and less.
As soon as the Italo-Turkish War ended, the Balkan War broke out immediately after, and the Ottoman Empire did not even have a chance to breathe, and had just extricated from North Africa to plunge into the surging war of national independence in the Balkans.
If during the Italian-Turkish War, the position of the European powers was not clear enough, then in the Balkan War, the attitude of the European powers was very clear, not only Britain, France and Russia hoped that the Ottoman Empire would be defeated, but even Germany, Austria-Hungary hoped that the Ottoman Empire would directly admit defeat.
Therefore, it is really a tradition for the Turks to make enemies on all sides, and it is also a skill to offend all the powerful countries at that time at the same time, and ordinary countries cannot learn it.
Britain and France supported the Balkan countries in waging war in order to create a pro-British Balkan alliance that would threaten Austria-Hungary behind its backs and draw the energies of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
Russia's support for the Balkan countries is that they want to gain access to the Mediterranean Sea, and the main ethnic groups on the Balkan Peninsula are also Slavs, Russia is an Eastern Slav, and the Balkans are mainly South Slavs, which is Russia's natural position.
Germany and Austria-Hungary originally hoped that the Ottoman Empire would remain stable, but they had to accept the reality that in order to ensure the security of the large rear, Austria-Hungary did not want to form a Balkan Alliance, but wanted to divide the Balkan Peninsula into a number of weak countries, so as to make it easier for Austria-Hungary to exert influence on the Balkan Peninsula.
To sum up, with the exception of the United States, which insists on "isolationism" and only does business and does not grab territory, all the current powers hope that the Ottoman Empire will be defeated.
As a result, the Ottoman Empire did lose very quickly, the Treaty of Cairo was signed in August, the Italo-Turkish War ended, the Balkan War broke out in early September, and now before November is over, the Ottoman Empire has almost lost control of the entire Balkan Peninsula and has to beg for reconciliation from the European columns.
The latest developments are due to British involvement, and the Balkan Union and the Ottoman Empire have achieved a ceasefire and are ready to start negotiations in London.
Unlike the Cairo negotiations a few months ago, the core interests of the Balkan Peninsula and the Ottoman Empire are closely related, so the preparation time for this negotiation is relatively long, and it will definitely not be able to start this year.
If Roque remembers correctly, after the Balkan Wars, the crown prince of Austria-Hungary would be assassinated, which would then lead to the outbreak of World War I.
In Roque's plan, the world war is the opportunity for Roque and Southern Africa, so Roque is not in the mood to toss the Belgians now, preparing for the world war, and it is the right thing to hurry up and train the army to prepare supplies.
Because Germany's strength in Africa was not strong, there would be no large-scale wars in Africa during the world war, and the main battles were concentrated in the European theater, especially the Western Front, which was dominated by Britain and France, which was the main battlefield of the world war.
The scale of the world war is unprecedented, and the main energy of Britain and France will be firmly involved, at this time it is the opportunity for Roque and Southern Africa, Roque also took a fancy to the Ottoman Empire, since the Ottoman Empire was directly destroyed after the world war, then when it perished, it was a bite to take a bite, and there was no such shop after this village.
Compared with Britain and France, which are fully preparing for Europe, the umbrella company has taken the lead on the peninsula, and in the past few months, Roque has been increasing troops to the peninsula, not only veterans in southern Africa, but also the Gurkha mercenaries recruited in the past year have been sent to Port Elizabeth, the Sultanate of Najd is also fully armed, Ali Rashid has unified most of the peninsula, and the number of troops under his command exceeds 20,000, once the war breaks out, the army of the Sultanate of Najd will become a servant army of the southern African army.
Since the outbreak of the Italian-Turkish war two years ago, the military industrial complex in Nyasaland has been working hard to produce them, and now the war warehouses in southern Africa are full of weapons and ammunition, the food processing plant of the South African company has expanded to 20, and the Johannesburg Textile Company is also working hard to produce all kinds of winter clothing that is not used in southern Africa.
In southern Africa, there is only occasional snow in some parts of the winter, most areas have no snow all year round and the climate is warm, there is no need for winter clothing at all, there is no obvious seasonal difference in Nyasaland throughout the year, and there is no market for sweaters or anything in Nyasaland.
Compared with southern Africa, which has a pleasant climate, France is simply hell, the eastern region not only has a low temperature in winter, but also has less sunshine hours, dry and less rain, and the army of southern Africa will face serious climate problems if they go to France.
As for the United States, this country is so shameless that the troops sent to Europe are not even worthy of weapons, including winter clothing, all of which must be provided by Britain and France; although the United States was already the world's factory during this period, the companies that produced weapons and equipment in the United States were all private enterprises, and the products produced were sold for money, and the US Government did not pay for them, and people were not obliged to provide them.
These weapons and equipment were sold to Britain and France, and then Britain and France were used to arm the US military units, which is also a mystery operation.
Unlike the shameless Americans, Roque's faceless man can't do such dirty things, at least the weapons and equipment of the army sent to Europe still have to be equipped, Roque has formed an infantry division composed of six Africans, ready to be sent to Europe to participate in the war after the outbreak of the world war, which is a bargaining chip for interests after the end of the world war.
