The reason why the German newspapers criticized the southern African army for sending troops to Lake Kivu was because of the arrival of the Rhodesian Northern Division, which directly caused Tanganyika to lose control of Lake Kivu.

According to international practice, the sovereignty of Lake Kivu, located on the border between the Congo Free State and Tanganyika, is half of the two families, and Tanganyika has no advantage in southern Africa, but is extremely strong in the Congo Free State, and the entire Kivu Lake was under the actual control of Tanganyika.

After the northern Rhodesian division occupied Bukavu, the Nyasaland Marine Police then entered Lake Kivu to patrol, which was also to ensure the safety of Bukavu, but objectively caused Tanganyika to lose control of Lake Kivu, which was really not a deliberate attempt by the Nyasaland Marine Police.

"No matter how good your reasons may be, now that Southern Africa has occupied Bukavu, how are you going to explain it to Joseph Quiller?" Ade has a headache, the colonial government of the Congo Free State will most likely not care about the safety of white people in the Congo Free State, but will care a lot about the fact of invasion in southern Africa.

The countries of this era are like this, all European countries are preparing for world war, and few politicians really care about personal sacrifices, and if the Belgians really cared about the Congo Free State, they would not have rebelled for so long and even the army for counterinsurgency could not be successfully formed.

"Why explain? If Mr. Quiller wants to go back to Bukavu, then give it to them. Roque didn't think it was serious, and it wasn't the northern Rhodesian division that drove out the white colonists of Bukavu and forcibly occupied Bukavu, but the Bukavu recaptured from the rebels, and Joseph Quyler had no reason to blame Roque.

"To them?" Ade was obviously surprised, but he didn't expect that the fat that had been swallowed by Roque in his mouth would still be able to spit out.

"Well, give it to them, as long as they send someone over, the Northern Rhodesian Division will hand over Bukavu to the Congo Free State." Roque is serious, this is really not an occupation, it is just an ordinary peacekeeping mission.

"You can do it!" Ade is also capitalized, and now in the Congo Free State, there are really no Belgians who want to send them to death.

However, what Ade did not expect was that Joseph Quiller did not protest to Southern Africa, but was unable to continue working due to health reasons and submitted his resignation to the Belgian government.

Instead, Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith took the initiative to inquire about the matter and demanded that southern Africa exercise restraint and not intervene in the rebellion in the Congo Free State.

The attitude behind this demand is very interesting, the current situation in the Congo Free State, if there is no external force involved, the Belgians will definitely lose control of the Congo Free State, and then the Congo Free State will become a real piece of fat.

More than 2 million square kilometers, and most of them are rich tropical rainforest areas, which are completely different from the desert areas of North Africa, and for the surrounding countries and regions of southern Africa, it is indeed a mouth-watering piece of big fat.

After the outbreak of the rebellion in the Congo Free State, the Portuguese deployed the only troops in the country in the border area between Portuguese West Africa and the Congo Free State, lest the rebellion of the Congo Free State spread to Portuguese West Africa.

Of course, the Portuguese forces in Portuguese West Africa could not effectively cover the long border between Portuguese West Africa and the Congo Free State, and this desperate posture of the Portuguese was to scare people, and it might be useful to scare the rebels of the Congo Free State, for other forces.

Huh——

In this way, only Britain, France and Germany are eligible to get involved in the Congo Free State, but Britain, France and Germany are now paying attention to the arms race at home, and they are not in the mood to pay attention to the colonies in southern Africa, and they have no energy to consider the expansion of the colonies, so in the end it is not known which one will be cheaper, and this certainly does not include the Belgians, who have been eliminated.

As Roque expected, Belgium has lost actual control of the Congo Free State, but still insists on its sovereignty over the Congo Free State, since the rebellion, Belgium King Leopold II and the Chief Minister Frans Shorat have successively emphasized Belgium's sovereignty over the Congo Free State at the "Inter-Parliamentary Union for International Arbitration", and resolutely oppose any national force to set foot in the Congo Free State for any reason. The occupation of Bukavu in southern Africa was described by Leopold II as an unacceptable aggression.

The Inter-Parliamentary Union for International Arbitration was established in 1889 to encourage governments to resolve international disputes peacefully.

This original intention is unreliable at first glance, and the United Nations cannot do anything in the 21st century, and the "Inter-Parliamentary Union for Promoting International Arbitration" does not need to be thought of, and the major powers in the world such as Britain, France, Germany, and the United States will not care about this organization, but Belgium and Portugal regard the "Inter-Parliamentary Union for Promoting International Arbitration" as a savior.

The influence of this organization can be seen from here.

However, to Leopold II's disappointment, Southern Africa is not a member of the "Inter-Parliamentary Union for International Arbitration", which defines the aggression of southern Africa in the official name, but unfortunately few people in southern Africa know about this organization, and the newspapers do not report on such things.

Newspapers in southern Africa have recently focused on the rebellion in the Congo Free State and what happened to the white Congo in the Congo Free State.

These reports are still very marketable, and when you compare the tragic situation of white people in the Congo Free State and look at the lives of white people in southern Africa, a sense of happiness immediately arises.

When the rebellion broke out in the Congo Free State, some editors called out in the newspapers that the federal government should send troops to attack the rebels in the Congo Free State.

Such a request will certainly not be answered, after all, the Federal Government of Southern Africa has no right to wage war at all, which is not very honorable and will damage the image of the Federal Government, so it cannot be answered.

However, the public does not care about this, and people only see the federal government turning a blind eye to the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in the Congo Free State, and some people are very vehement.

"It's a bit too much, let Palmer restrain a little-" Roque expressed his displeasure directly when he met Owen.

Palmer was a columnist for the Southern African edition of The Times, a member of the Liberal Party, and an old friend of Irving's, and Palmer's column in The Times was set up at Irving's request.

From these relationships, it can be seen that Owen's purpose for this column, compared with Roque, Owen and the Liberal Party and Philip do need more public opinion positions, Roque doesn't need to ask, Palmer's articles published in the "Times" during this time must have been instructed by Owen, and the purpose does not need to be asked, just look at the direction of public opinion, Ade is in the center of the public opinion storm.

Emotionally speaking, whether Ade is the prime minister or Philip is the prime minister, Roque has no opinion, anyway, whether Ade or Philip comes to power, Roque's interests can be guaranteed.

What makes Roque dissatisfied is Owen's approach, it is normal to use newspapers to launch public opinion attacks on competitors, but it cannot exceed the bottom line, Southern Africa has no right to start a war at all, and now Ade has become the target of the back, which is beyond Roque's bottom line.

Now Roque can understand why many times the national leaders seem to be ignorant of the people's sufferings at the grassroots level of the society, this is really not why they don't eat minced meat, but the work of the national leaders is mainly concentrated in the macro field, and the specific things really can't be managed, and if you really want to do things, you must do it yourself, which can exhaust the leaders to death.

Specific to southern Africa, the Times is full of fire on Ade, and Roque will not go to Palmer, but to Owen, who is the initiator of this matter, and Palmer is just a tool man.

"Locke, this is part of the campaign." Owen simply can't stop right now.

This is also the reason why Roque is disgusted with this kind of democratic election in southern Africa, next year's election, this year will start to toss, southern Africa is still once every five years, if this is not tossed for four years, it is almost the end of the election, it is necessary to prepare for the next election, how can there be energy to develop the economy and people's livelihood.

"Owen, I know that the election campaign is very important to you, but the bottom line is still there, and the current public opinion situation will force the prime minister to make some irrational decisions, and it will hurt southern Africa at that time." Roque really doesn't want to see Philip and Ade kill each other, if he can, Roque would like Philip and Ade to wrestle their wrists directly, whoever wins will be the prime minister, and the other one will be the speaker of the parliament, how good is that.

"Locke, you underestimate our Prime Minister, even if the kind of thing you said really happens, isn't that what we want?" Owen is now a qualified politician, and to be honest, Roque doesn't like such Owen.

"Whatever you want, Sidney asked me for a column too, you better be careful." Although Roque said that he was not tendentious, he actually had tendencies.

As the prime minister, Ade is also surrounded by countless think tanks, and Roque is not a fool.

Since Owen knows how to use the newspaper to launch a public opinion attack on Ade, of course Ade will not ignore the role of the newspaper, and Ade will not come forward in this kind of matter, and Sidney Milner is very appropriate.

"Hey, hey, Locke, you're going to have to figure out where you stand." Owen emphasized that there are no four fingers in one hand.

"What position do you want me to stand? Southern Africa knows that Henry and I were drawn by the Prime Minister, and without the Prime Minister's handpicking, Henry and I would not have had the opportunity to go to Johannesburg, and we would not have everything we have now. "Roque is also very helpless, he and Henry are both branded with Ade early, so Roque is at most not helping each other.

Even if it may offend both sides in the end.
