708 Arrest warrant

Tanganyika's economic pillars were rubber, sisal and cotton, in order to strengthen Tanganyika's dependence on Germany proper, the colonial government destroyed Tanganyika's original economic system, the development of a single colonial economy, by 1910, Tanganyika's grain already needed to be imported from Germany, there were 250 rubber plantations, 64 sisal plantations, 17 cotton plantations, how many German and how many British capital these plantations, no one knows.

Tanganyika in 1910, including the future Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, and part of northern Mozambique, had a total area of more than 990,000 square kilometers, almost less than a million, so you can imagine how large the area of these plantations was, 300 square kilometers was just the starting price, all the fertile land in Tanganyika was occupied by whites, and Africans, even chiefs, could only allocate remote and barren land, So to say how loyal the Africans in Tanganyika are to Kaiser Wilhelm II is a joke.

On 10 August, the 1st Cavalry Division landed in Dar es Salaam and launched an attack on the Tanganyika hinterland.

On the same day, the Ministries of Defence and Justice of Southern Africa conducted a joint operation to arrest the arrest list.

113 Kings Road is the address of Congressman Chris Becimo in Pretoria, at least since the beginning of this year, the secret police of the Ministry of Justice have been monitoring Chris Besmemer's home in real time, and the Kings Road is surrounded by a noble residential area in Pretoria, but this is not difficult for the Ministry of Justice, the four houses around 113 Kings Road were secretly purchased by the Ministry of Justice, and everyone who entered and exited Chris Becime's house was recorded, and even Chris Becime's dog gave birth to several paparazzi The Ministry of Justice is clear.

On August 10, Leslie Reilly, a senior agent in the Department of Justice's Police Department, rang the doorbell of Bessimo's home.

"Who are you looking for?" The housekeeper, Mykinash, opened the courtyard door and looked at Leslie Reilly, who was wearing a trench coat and a top hat, with a wary expression.

"Congressman Besimo, of course." Leslie Reilly beckoned, and two black-suit secret police officers immediately pushed the door open and controlled McKinash.

"Are you crazy? This is Councilor Besimo's home, not a place where you can go wild at will! "Mykinash was horrified, in southern Africa, the status of MPs is very high, and no one dares to break into the homes of MPs like this.

Leslie Reilly ignored McKinash and went straight inside with a few secret police officers to find Bessimo.

Two South African mastiffs screamed and charged at Leslie Reilly.

Without Leslie Reilly doing anything, a secret police officer called the name of the South African mastiff twice, and the two South African mastiffs were stunned, slowly leaned over to smell the policeman, and then wagged their tails desperately.

Leslie Reilly didn't know when his men had become so familiar with the congressman's dog.

Chris Besimo stood in the middle of the living room with a blue face and watched Reilly's expression uncertain, the driver and the cook, the gardener, and the servants were all controlled by the secret police, Mrs. Becimo had asked her best friend to go shopping, the children were all at school, and Becimo was the only one in the house.

The time was well chosen.

"Councillor Beximo, we have three allegations against you here, and we need you to come with us to help with the investigation." Reilly presented the arrest warrant to Besimo.

"I am a Member of Parliament, and at the same time a knight of the British Empire, and I have no obligation to assist you in your investigation, and you have no authority to investigate me, and let your ministers come." Besimo's face was pale, his words sounded steely, but they were of little use, the police department was subordinate to the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of Justice was the son of the Speaker.

"Councillor Bessimo, if our allegations are unlawful, then you can appeal, but until then, you must cooperate with our investigation, and it is indeed your obligation." Reilly doesn't talk nonsense, he still has several arrest warrants in his briefcase, and it's going to be a busy day.

Bessimo had just been divided into knighthood a few days earlier and had already entered the ranks of the nobility, with a part of the extrajudicial privileges.

But in southern Africa, Bessemer's title of nobility is not easy to use, and the knight is actually a knight, a kind of commoner title, which is still not hereditary, as for why the king granted Becimo the title, the motive is definitely worth analyzing.

"If you don't cooperate with our work, then we will forcibly take you away, but I am afraid that it will damage your majesty, so you better cooperate with our work, so that at least it will look better." Reilly raised the handcuffs in his hand, and there were not many opportunities to handcuff a congressman with his own hands.

Ten minutes later, Beximo, who was wearing only a shirt and vest, was surrounded by a group of secret police officers and boarded the police department's car, Beximo had his expensive suit wrapped around his hands, and it was not clear whether he was handcuffed or not, but the onlookers all knew what was hidden under the suit.

On this day, the Cape, the Transvaal, Orange, and even Lorenço Marques, the same scene is being played out everywhere, the National Guard cooperated with the Ministry of Justice to arrest 157 people in two days, some tried to resist, and were directly suppressed on the spot, some people were incredulous, they just published some unsigned articles in the newspaper, and some did not even attract public attention, but I didn't expect the Ministry of Justice to remember it clearly, several newspapers were directly shut down, newspaper owners and editors were arrested, and the printing press was sealed, Even the factories that supply paper to newspapers are under investigation.

When Roque was in the Ministry of Justice, he immediately invited Louis Botha to dinner at the tavern that Roque often went to with Henry and Xiaosi.

"Millionaires also go to this kind of place to spend? I thought I had a chance to have a good meal, but I didn't expect you, a lord, to be so picky. "When Louis Botha is not looking for trouble, it is really easy to communicate.

Since Jan Smoltz went to work in the country, Louis Botha has become more and more low-key, and the national farm promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture has also disappeared, and Louis Botha submitted his resignation to Ade some time ago, wanting to resign from his position in the cabinet, but was retained by Ade.

Louis Botha is the only surviving senior Boer cabinet official, and the two deputy ministers of agriculture are of British descent.

"Millionaire" is the richest adjective for rich people in this era, and even richer "billionaires" have not yet appeared, after all, money is still very valuable.

"If you don't pick it, you can't do it, hundreds of thousands of people want to eat, and they want to eat better, and millionaires are also full of a bowl of rice." Roque is domineering, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Orange now.

Roque's hundreds of thousands of people refer to the workers who work directly for Roque, and now there are thirteen companies under Roque's name, and there are more companies in which Roque has shares, and even Roque himself does not know how many, and RAND Bank has a special team to take care of Roque's assets.

"Yes, hundreds of thousands of people, I didn't expect ten years ago that Southern Africa would develop like it is today-" Louis Botha sighed, thinking of Louis Botha's resignation some time ago, he did have the idea of retiring.

The most immediate impact comes from the current situation in southern Africa, and if the federal government had been established with Louis Botha as prime minister, or the more radical Jan Smoltz in power, then southern Africa would certainly not be in the current situation, and perhaps the federal government would have been divided and there would be another Boer War.

At the beginning, the purpose of Britain's attention to Roque was this, but I didn't expect that Roque not only did not become a destabilizing factor in southern Africa, but further united southern Africa.

"The 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesian Division have launched an attack on Tanganyika at the same time, and in the South-West Africa direction there are five divisions, and the battle will be over in a month." Roque took the initiative to bring up the battle plan of the Ministry of Defense, and compared with another time and space, Southern Africa in this time and space is more powerful and has stronger execution, and it will definitely get more results after the war.

In southern Africa, another time and space, after the outbreak of the war, the British government sent colonial servant troops from southern Africa to Europe to participate in the war, and then ordered southern Africa to launch an attack on southwest Africa.

At that time, there were no armies in southern Africa, and although the armies of South-West Africa were similarly weak, they did not attack South-West Africa until a year after the outbreak of the war.

In this time and space, Roque will not allow that situation to happen again, the war in Southwest Africa and Tanganyika must end in a short time, the situation in Southwest Africa is better, there is not much room for the German army to make a detour within the territory, five divisions will attack in an all-out way, and the war in Southwest Africa will end soon.

Tanganyika is a bit more troublesome, but it won't drag on for long, and the war won't spread to Nyasaland anyway.

After Germany declared war on Belgium, the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo declared war on Germany at the same time, and then contacted the Ministry of Defence of Southern Africa in the hope of sending troops into Tanganyika to assist the armies in southern Africa in their offensive.

To put it bluntly, it is the servant army of the Southern African army.

Roque did not refuse the demands of the Kingdom of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo, the Kingdom of the Congo sent three divisions, the Republic of the Congo sent only one division with fewer troops, plus the Fort Glory troops, Tanganyika's troops exceeded 200,000 people.

"After this war, Southern Africa will become the largest country in Africa." Louis Botha's expression was complicated, and relief was mixed with loneliness.

As a native of southern Africa, Louis Botha wanted southern Africa to be strong and rich, but as a Boer, Louis Botha was not able to participate deeply in the rise of southern Africa, which is indeed very regrettable.

At present, Southern Africa is not the largest country in Africa, but the French colonies in North Africa are, but the French colonies in North Africa have no autonomy, so they are not considered independent countries.

With the annexation of South-West Africa and Tanganyika, Southern Africa will overtake French North Africa to become the largest country in Africa.

However, Roque's ideals clearly do not stop there, unlike North Africa, where most of its territory is desert, Southern Africa has great potential and should play a more important role.
