Although the relationship between Nyasaland and Tanganyika has fallen to a historical freezing point, there is still a communication mechanism in place, so Martin received a request from Erich von Falkingham to meet on the same day.

However, Martin didn't want to see Erich von Falkingham, he didn't need to meet, Martin knew what Erich von Falkingham wanted to say, it was nothing more than hoping that Nyasaland would not support the Fort Glory troops, but whether it was support or not was not Martin's decision, Martin said it didn't count, so Martin didn't think there was any need to meet with Erich von Falkingham.

"After all, Southern Africa and Tanganyika have not really declared war, France and Germany are feuding, and recently because Morocco has been in trouble, the foreign ministers of the two countries can still sit down and have a drink when they meet, even if they can't solve the problem, it's okay to try the possibility of solving it." Kyle Meg, chief of staff of the 2nd Division, suggested that Martin should meet him, at least it would not hurt.

"Kyle, we are soldiers, not diplomats, the stage of soldiers is the battlefield, if Erich von Falkingham wants to meet with me, then he has to apply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Southern Africa through normal channels, and then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will communicate with the Ministry of Defense if it deems it necessary, as long as the Ministry of Defense asks me to meet, of course I will meet." Martin could not imagine what the French foreign minister would say when he met with his German counterpart, smiling and scolding his mother in his native language.

In fact, this is also self-deception, and it is normal for a person who can become a foreign minister to know three or five languages, at least English, French, and German, so that when conducting diplomatic activities, he can correctly understand the meaning of the other side, otherwise if there is a mistake in translation, the impact will probably be irreparable.

For example, the sign language interpreter at Mandela's funeral, after this incident, the whole country became the laughing stock of the whole world, and the damage to the country's image is simply immeasurable.

"General, it's not that serious—" Kyle Mello thinks Martin is overkill.

After the establishment of Southern Africa, Martin's military rank was finally promoted to Major General, and he was in the first order of the Southern African army system.

There are now twenty-five generals in Southern Africa, including those who used to do so, but there are very few generals with real power, and Martin and Suo Chao, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, have authority in the Ministry of Defense second only to Roque.

As for Secretary Hopkins, he himself admits that he is the mascot of the Department of Defense.

"No, it's serious, as soldiers, we can't meet with German generals in private, it's not reasonable and it's not legal." Martin was still very vigilant, and whatever the purpose of Erich von Falkingham's intention to meet Martin, it was wisest not to see him.

For Martin's reply, Erich von Falkingham is not much surprised, now Erich von Falkingham's main task is to find the main force of the Glory Fort force, whether Martin agrees to meet with Erich von Falkingham will not change the grim situation that Erich von Falkingham will face.

Although the castle of glory was successfully occupied, but Erich von Falkingham's mood was heavier, the troops of Fort Glory crossed Lake Ruqua and jumped out of the encirclement of the Tanganyikat army, all the plans of Erich von Falkingham were all in vain, and now the Fort Glory troops have abandoned the castle of glory and are nowhere to be found, and it is more difficult for the Tanganyikat army to find the main force of the Glory Fort army.

"We can now be sure that the main force of the Fort Glory rebels is called the LTTE, this is an all-Gurkha force, and the captives and confessions are all from Nyasaland, I think we should declare war on Southern Africa now, if Southern Africa does not stop supporting the Fort Glory rebels, then there is no way to eliminate the Fort Glory rebels." The commander of the 35th Division, Terry Dunlop, was emotional, this time to encircle and suppress the troops of Fort Glory, the 36th Division was almost not attacked by the guerrillas, and the losses were minimal, but the 35th Division was attacked by the Guerrillas along the way, so the losses were heavy, so it seems that Terry Dunlop is particularly incompetent.

"I also have an intelligence here, it is likely that the Nyasaland Assault Regiment will participate in the Battle of Fort Helmut, this regiment has only 1,800 troops, and they completely annihilated the 2nd Tanganyika Division with a total strength of nearly 4,000 men in an hour and a half, and a force like the Nyasaland Assault Regiment now has 26,000 men in Nyasaland." Sean Bell, commander of the 36th Division, reasoned with the facts, and if he really wanted to declare war, it was not certain whether he could fight it.

"It is impossible to declare war on southern Africa, which would be tantamount to provoking a full-scale war between Germany and England, which is not in line with our overall strategy, for which we are not ready now." Erich von Falkingham is also very helpless, fighting, can't beat, talking, Tanganyika's situation does not allow, and now Erich von Falkingham is in a dilemma.

"We will never be ready, now all the resources are tilted towards the navy, for every dreadnought we build, the British will build two, so our gap in naval power is not narrowing, but gradually expanding, we should not compete with England on the sea at all, but should consolidate our superiority on land, no matter how many dreadnoughts the British have, it is impossible to sail to land!" Terry Dunlop also has his own thoughts, and as a front-line soldier, he feels more deeply than those civilian officers in the General Staff.

"That's not something we should discuss!" Erich von Falkingham was very angry, and the General Staff could not always be right, not to mention that the decision to start an arms race was not the decision of the General Staff, but originated from Kaiser Wilhelm II.

"From Tanganyika's point of view, we should indeed declare war on England, but Tanganyika must also be subordinated to the overall interests of Germany, and what we can do now is to exert our strength as much as possible under the existing conditions, so that we can make our due contribution to the Empire." The commander of the 36th Division, Sean Bell, was obviously sarcastic about the excessive losses of the 35th Division.

"Damn bastard, what are you trying to say? You should be glad that you didn't have such trouble as the 35th Division! "Terry Dunlop was furious, if the 36th Division faced the same situation as the 35th Division, then the 36th Division could not perform better than the 35th Division.

"The reason why the 36th Division is smooth sailing is not because of the choice of the Fort Glory rebels, but because the 36th Division did not make mistakes, and the Fort Glory rebels have no chance at all!" Sean Bell sneered at each other, whether it is true or not is not important, the key is the final result, and the current result is that the 35th Division suffered heavy losses, but the 36th Division was unscathed.

Terry Dunlop still wanted to tell that Erich von Falkingham finally couldn't take it anymore: "Enough! Remember who you are, we are one, and if we can't destroy the Glory Rebels, then all of us are responsible, not any one person or one army. ”

The current situation in Tanganyika is certainly not the responsibility of any one person, Governor Leutwein is not to blame, the former commander-in-chief von Trotta is also responsible, and even Erich von Falkingham, if he cannot successfully quell the rebellion in Tanganyika, then Erich von Falkingham may be used as a scapegoat.

Within the German army, the difference in rank is still very strong, Sean Bell and Terry Dunlop can attack each other, but if the General Staff is involved, Erich von Falkingham still has a clear understanding that the decision of the General Staff is not something that a few colonial generals can discuss.

But Erich von Falkingham's words obviously could not make Sean Bell and Terry Dunlop agree, Sean Bell was quite sensible, smiled and did not speak.

Terry Dunlop couldn't bear it, and the 3,000 outcasts of the Fort Glory Force inflicted nearly 800 casualties on the 35th Division, which was a shame for Terry Dunlop.

If the equipment level of the Fort Glory troops is on the same level as the 35th Division, then perhaps Terry Dunlop has an excuse.

The reality is that the equipment of the Fort Glory troops is extremely rudimentary, with a force of 3,000 people, there are no machine guns at all, and there is no rifle per person, but even with the rudimentary weapons, the Fort Glory troops still have such a record, which makes Terry Dunlop really unacceptable.

So Terry Dunlop's attitude was very fierce: "I don't mean to shirk the responsibility, but the biggest responsibility now is not with me, but the General Staff has a problem in making decisions, as a German soldier, I have reason to put forward my proposal, whether the General Staff adopts it or not-" Terry Dunlop argued that Erich von Falkingham is not the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army now, and his prestige in the army is like that, so Terry Dunlop dares to ignore Erich von Falkingham's stop.

"Shut up! General Terry Dunlop, you need to take a break, you can't take on the task for the time being, go to Safe Harbor, and let your chief of staff take your place. "Erich von Falkingham was decisive in his killings, and for a thorn like Terry Dunlop, he had to deal with it decisively.

Terry Dunlop gritted his teeth, but finally swallowed this breath: "Yes, Your Excellency, obey your will. ”

Confinement is confinement, and if the General Staff can be woken up, Terry Dunlop thinks it's all worth it.

Unfortunately, Terry Dunlop's suggestion could never be submitted to the German General Staff, and even if it did, the General Staff would probably ignore Terry Dunlop's suggestion.

At the end of March, the Tanganyikat army was also broken into pieces and scattered to the indigenous tribes around Fort Glory, trying to find information related to the rebels at Fort Glory.

In this case, of course, the maximum convenience was given to the troops of Fort Glory.
