According to the plan of the General Staff, the Northern Rhodesian Division has been transferred to the southern African and Tanganyika border areas between the North Sea and Lake Kivu, the 1st Cavalry Division is stationed in Port Edward, and in the event of war, the Northern Rhodesian Division will attack Usunbura as quickly as possible, and the 1st Cavalry Division will attack the coastal area of Tanganyika by ship from Port Edward.

At the same time, the troops of Fort Glory will also cooperate with the Northern Division of Rhodesia and the First Cavalry Division to fight, in recent years, Mumu is also a strong soldier, Fort Glory has nearly 50,000 conventional troops, and the equipment training situation is similar to that of the African division formed in southern Africa, with a certain combat capability.

In fact, if he could, Roque would prefer that the 1st Cavalry Division could be stationed in the Zanzibar Islands, so that it would be closer to Tanganyika and easier to attack Tanganyika.

It's a pity that London didn't agree to Roque's request, and the world war hadn't broken out yet*** Dun had already begun to guard against the expansion of southern Africa, which greatly disappointed British officials, including Derek Dodd.

Roque had long been prepared for this, and the Zanzibar archipelago, once part of the Sultanate of Muscat, became the Sultanate of Zanzibar after independence, and is now a British protectorate.

Britain still has the confidence to refuse southern Africa to use the Zanzibar archipelago as a springboard to launch an attack on Tanganyika, and when the world war reaches a certain level, Britain is powerless even if it wants to restrict southern Africa, and time will give the best answer.

In addition to the Northern Rhodesia Division and the First Cavalry Division, Roque also mobilized four regular troops composed of conscripts to cooperate with the Northern Rhodesia Division and the First Cavalry Division to fight, such a large-scale military movement must not be hidden from the Germans, but Southwest Africa and Tanganyika are helpless, these two colonies are also rearming for war, but because of insufficient equipment, the soldiers are not even equipped with rifles, except for verbal opposition, there is not much to do.

Even so, South West Africa did not stop the railway between Walvis Bay and Bechuana, and now the railway has crossed Windhoek and is built to Hyasia, which is less than 100 kilometers away from Walvis Bay, where the terrain is very complicated, the river network is dense and mountainous and hilly, and a large number of bridges and tunnels have to be built.

"Now that we have entered the rainy season, we are afraid that we will have to temporarily suspend work, and tunnel 2119 was washed away by floods yesterday, and a month's hard work of 1,500 workers was ruined." Atlantic Railroad's chief engineer, Vernon Felton, was devastated that the weather was worse than the environment.

The number "2119" does not represent the 2119th tunnel, nor the length of the tunnel, but the elevation, which is located in the central highlands, with an average altitude of more than 2,000 meters.

Vernon Felton had previously worked for the Pacific Rim Railroad, and in his career, he had never experienced such harsh construction conditions in Southwest Africa, and Vernon Felton even thought that the railroad should not be built at all, even if there was no railroad and relied on inland waterway transportation.

The Orange River in the south of South-West Africa and the Kunene River in the north are the dividing lines between southern Africa and Portuguese West Africa, respectively.

"Do our people have anything to lose?" Brant Walsh, the general manager of the Atlantic Railroad, did not ask if the workers had any losses, and it was useless to ask, which only added to the annoyance.

"Noโ€”" Vernon Felton secretly rejoiced that the Atlantic Railroad engineers were now smart enough to never be on the construction line.

"Then it doesn't matter, send a telegram to Bechuana, we need more workers." Brandt Walsh was prepared to work for the Atlantic Railroad not only from the Zulu people of southern Africa, but also from the Yao people of the Kingdom of Mozambique, the Tetera people of the Kingdom of Congo, the Owen Bundu people of Portuguese West Africa, and the native Kavango people of southwest Africa.

In short, it is a railway that brings together all the resources around Southwest Africa.

"There are no more workers, these Europeans are crazy, Southern Africa is rearming, South West Africa is rearming, even the Portuguese are conscripting, they are going to destroy the whole world." Stuart Sapier, deputy general manager of the Atlantic Railroad, said that while Europeans looked down on Americans, nouveau riche looked down on the rotten misers.

"Bechuana has a large number of new immigrants resettled every day, and some of them are people." Walsh was more aware of the situation, and Bechuana's situation was similar to the ongoing westward expansion of the United States, with the arrival of a large number of new immigrants bringing life to the otherwise uninhabited interior, not only in the fertile Okavango Marsh and the eastern region, but also in Kalahari, which is known as the desert.

"The new immigrants in Bechuaner are all Chinese, do you think that person will let them come and build the railway?" Sapir is yin and yang, "that person" refers to Roque, and it is a very dangerous thing to discuss Roque in southern Africa, so Sapir uses "that person" to refer to him, anyway, Walsh and Felton know who Sapir is talking about.

"Definitely not, to be honest, I want to immigrate to southern Africa, last month I went to Nyasaland, when I first arrived in Cape Town, I thought Cape Town was the most prosperous city in Africa, and now I know that there are countless cities as prosperous as Cape Town in Nyasaland - no, many cities in Nyasaland are not more prosperous than Cape Town, it should be more advanced in concept, the concept of building cities is more advanced, advanced for at least 50 years." Felton took off his mud-stained leather boots and threw them on the ground, and immediately Xiao Hei came to take them away and wash them, and brought Felton hot water to soak his feet, which is a custom in southern Africa.

With the influx of Chinese, the habits of the Chinese began to gradually spread, most white people are still not used to drinking hot water, but foot soaking is popular with everyone, the water basin used by Felton to soak the feet is also soaked in several Chinese medicinal materials that Felton does not recognize, and it is said that the prime minister and speaker of parliament in southern Africa will also use Chinese medicine to soak their feet every day.

"It's really amazing that the Chinese in the United States are only cautious, but the Chinese in southern Africa areโ€”" Walsh was poor in words and couldn't find the right adjective, because of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Chinese living environment in the United States was very difficult.

"That's a good thing, I don't want to accept Chinese rule one day, even though southern Africa looks good right now." Sapir is adamant that not everyone can give the Chinese a correct evaluation, even if the Chinese have made certain achievements.

"Why not? I feel that Southern Africa has a better future than the United States. "Felton went on a trip to Nyasaland that had been conquered, professional technicians, more trusting of their first feelings.

"How is it possible, look at what we have done to the Indians, now southern Africa is an overseas territory of the British, so the Chinese keep to themselves, if the Chinese get the leadership of southern Africa, do you think the Chinese will settle accounts after the autumn? If it were me, I would. "Sapir pushes others on his own, which sounds reasonable, but in fact it is not true.

"The leaders of Nyasaland are Chinese, from top to bottom, the governor and the parliamentarians are all Chinese, and I have not heard of any restrictions on whites in Nyasaland, and Nyasaland is also the region with the largest German population in southern Africa, and no one I know has been excluded because of the arms race." Felton argued that he was of German descent himself.

"Oh-" Sapir said meaningfully.

"Alright gentlemen, let's discuss how to get our work done as quickly as possible." Walsh called a halt, Sapir is British, Walsh is French, and contradictions are really everywhere.

"What else can we do but hang around here in this damn weather?" Sapir is also very smart, and even if he is not a friend, the working relationship still needs to be maintained.

"In Nyasaland, whenever the weather is bad, local officials organize farmers to learn not only how to run a farm, but also our language, how to get along with us, how to deal with bad weather and accidents, what are white farmers doing? Wait and see, the Chinese will one day become the masters of Southern Africa, and I found at the University of Nyasaland that more than 80 percent of the students are Chinese. Felton was unrelenting, he wanted to emigrate to southern Africa, not just by talking, but by really thinking so.

The key is how Nyasaland will treat the Germans in Nyasaland if war breaks out, and if the Nyasaland government does not put the Germans in concentration camps, then Felton will emigrate to Nyasaland.

There is a lot of mobility in Europe, there are many Germans living in England, there are many French people living in Germany, and under normal circumstances, there is no problem, but once the war breaks out, these civilians living in hostile countries will be treated unfairly, even if they swear allegiance to the country in which they live, this oath is not trusted, and it is normal to be put in concentration camps.

The Germans of Nyasaland do not have to worry about this problem, Prime Minister Alfred Milner himself has German ancestry, and there are many Germans in the current management, and the chief scientist of southern Africa, Albrecht Kossel, is also of German origin, although the federal government of southern Africa has not publicly promised, the government of Nyasaland has promised that no matter if there is a war between southern Africa and any country, the government of Nyasaland will not implement special management for specific groups of people.

This commitment has been enshrined in the Constitution of Nyasaland.

"Really, how could a white man in southern Africa allow such a thing to happen." Walsh was also speechless, and if Felton was telling the truth, then the future of white southern Africans was indeed worrisome.

"Brant, look at Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, whites don't have a chance to go to college at all." In Felton's words, this is not allowed, the colonies are not willing to accept the rule of the colonists, and the Indians do not want to be slaughtered, but some things are not subject to human will.
