Although Roque repeatedly stressed that Nyasaland had never given any assistance to the Fort Glory troops, with Roque's involvement, an agreement was quickly reached between the Tanganyika authorities and the Fort Glory troops.

In order to give an explanation to the German people, the Fort Glory troops joined the Tanganyika German Army in the form of integration and became part of the Tanganyika German Army, and Erich von Falkingham would give the Fort Glory troops two divisions.

In exchange, the Governorate of Tanganyika would establish a Zanzibar Special Administrative Region in the border region between Tanganyika and Nyasaland, including Lake Ruqua, and appoint Mumu as the Administrator to be administered by the Governorate of Tanganyika.

This "administration" is, of course, only nominal, and the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is in fact a state within a state in Tanganyika, except that it has no diplomatic powers, and is no different from the status of Southern Africa and Great Britain.

In fact, there is also diplomatic power, Roque, as an Englishman, will definitely not let go of the opportunity to disgust the Germans at this time, so on the day of the establishment of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, Roque asked Anton to set up an office in Fort Glory, even if this office cannot justifiably hang the name of the embassy and consulate, but also to establish a preliminary liaison mechanism.

The day after the agreement was signed, Yaya rushed to Little Rock with Mumu to thank Roque in person.

"The establishment of the Special Administrative Region is just the beginning, and there is still a lot of work to be done, so keep up the good work, and I look forward to your better performance in the future." In Fort Eagle, Roque spoke unscrupulously, and now Nyasaland is a big creditor of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, and it is estimated that the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region will have to repay the debt for decades.

Nyasaland's previous assistance to the Fort Glory troops was certainly not gratuitous, this was actually a risky investment, if the Fort Glory troops could force the Germans to admit defeat, then Roque could get a rich return, if the Fort Glory troops were unfortunately wiped out by the Tanganyikat army, then Roque would have lost all his money.

It is also said that the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Now it was time to harvest, and the tattered weapons that Nyasaland gave to the Fort Glory troops were actually more expensive than the latest Lee Enfield produced by the Nyasaland Arsenal, and if you added interest, the price would be about five times that of Lee Enfield.

And that's just rifles, Nyasaland's support to the Fort Glory forces also includes heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars, which are more expensive, plus other military and household supplies, and the volunteers who went to Tanganyika to join the Fort Glory forces, and the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region now owes Nyasaland £7.5 million.

Seven and a half million pounds is an astronomical amount in this era, and it is not good to say that even if the entire Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is bought up, it is estimated that this money will not be used up, and Roque will only come from London for five million pounds under the banner of expanding the army.

"Lord, you can let me charge into battle, let me run a country, I really can't do it." Mu Mu sulked and didn't show much fun.

At this time, Mu Mu actually had tattoos left on his face and body after the blood oath, and Mu Mu's blood oath at that time was that he vowed to drive the Germans out of Tanganyika, but now the Fort Glory troops have all become part of the Tanganyika German army, strictly speaking, Mumu's oath has not really succeeded.

"Blood oath" is such a thing, in Roque's opinion, most of them are fools, but Mu Mu and Yaya are convinced of it, so Mu Mu is really worried about whether he will be punished if he doesn't fulfill his promise.

"Don't worry, if you're not good at managing government affairs, then hire someone who knows how to help you, don't forget that you are now the supreme administrator of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, there is no need to do everything yourself, professional things are still done by professional people, you just need to control the army." Roque is still out of power at the barrel of a gun.

It's really a place like Tanganyika, no army can be said to be difficult to move an inch, don't look at Erich von Falkingham's signature is very decisive, in fact, the promise given by Erich von Falkingham is worthless, that is, the Tanganyikat army is now passively beaten and exhausted, Erich von Falkingham has to bow his head, once the Tanganyikat army eases up, then no matter who is the commander-in-chief of the Tanganyikat army, it will immediately launch an attack on Zanzibar.

Of course, if the official Tanganyika takes the initiative to tear up the armistice agreement, then if the Tanganyika German army cannot successfully destroy the Fort Glory troops, then the German army can only take the initiative to withdraw from Tanganyika.

To put it bluntly, it's still whose fist is bigger, who is reasonable.

Speaking of troops, Mumu and Yaya's eyes became expectant, but neither of them spoke.

Roque thought for a while and understood what was going on, there is also a lion regiment in Fort Glory, this unit can be said to be the most effective unit in the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, and it performed extremely well in the battle of Dodoma some time ago, and the German troops on the eastern front invested a total of nearly 20,000 troops, but they failed to break through the defense line of the lion regiment.

Of course, most of the more than 20,000 people were colonial servants, and the actual German 36th Division killed less than 1,000 officers and soldiers, and most of them were caused by the mortars of the Lion Regiment.

The Lion Regiment is a force composed entirely of Gurkha mercenaries, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, but the biggest problem is that the ownership of this force is not in the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, but in Nyasaland.

If the Lions withdrew to Nyasaland, then once the Germans tore up the agreement, they would really not be able to withstand the frantic attack of the German regular army with the troops under Mumu now.

"What do you think?" Roque took the initiative to ask for Mu Mu's opinion, and now Mu Mu is also the highest administrator of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, and he still has to give face.

"Lord, if I can, I hope that the Lions will remain in the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, and I also hope that more career officers will be hired from Nyasaland to help the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region complete the reorganization of the troops, and the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region will be responsible for the expenses of the Lion Regiment, and the head of the Lion Regiment will be Colonel Wu Ben, and this will never change." Mu Mu thought about it more thoughtfully, since Roque has always emphasized the importance of military power, then Mu Mu simply handed over all military power to Roque, so that maybe Nyasaland will continue to provide support to the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region.

In the territory of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region, there is basically no industry to speak of, and even the farms originally cultivated by German immigrants have been seriously damaged in the previous war.

Of course, the current support is certainly not gratuitous, so the debt of the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is estimated to continue to increase, unless one day Roque takes the initiative to reduce it with kindness, otherwise Mu Mu is estimated to not ask Nyasaland's foreign debt in his life.

Will Roque take the initiative to reduce it?

Definitely not, Roque is a capitalist, not a philanthropist, unless the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region can bring enough benefits to Nyasaland, then Roque will not care whether the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region can afford it.

It doesn't matter if you can't pay it back, you can pay it back slowly, you can also use resources to pay off debts, and you can also export foreign labor services, anyway, as long as you find a way, there is no mountain that can't be climbed.

The Zanzibar Special Administrative Region is located between Nyasaland and Tanganyika, which is equivalent to a buffer zone, which also minimizes the friction between Nyasaland and Tanganyika.

And if the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region bears the cost of the Lion Regiment, it is equivalent to the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region helping Roque raise troops, although the scale of the Lion Regiment is not large, but the monthly expenses are also a lot, and the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region does not have a stable source of money now, so it is really not easy for Mu Mu to make this decision.

If this were replaced by other people, such as Henry and Xiao Si, most of them would have to yell: Why should Lao Tzu repay the money he borrowed with his ability!

"Yes, you go back to General Martin, and he will arrange it for you." So far, Roque has been quite satisfied with Mumu's performance, so Nyasaland will definitely continue to support the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region in the future.

"Thank you very much, words cannot describe how I feel, you are such a generous person, no matter what happens in the future, the Zanzibar Special Administrative Region will definitely help Nyasaland unconditionally, all it takes is a telegram." Mu Mu's sycophant technique is also very proficient.

Sending Mumu and Yaya away, at dinner in the evening, Phyllis looked at Roque with all kinds of unpleasant eyes.

"I heard the banker is back—" Phyllis elongated her tone, but she didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with her words.

Ida is not from Nyasaland, but from Cape Town, so Ida is definitely not "coming back" to Nyasaland.

"Ida is now a deputy minister, from the Ministry of Finance—" Roque was still proud to be honest, after all, Ida was the only minister in the federal government of Southern Africa who was a woman.

"The vixen crawls pretty fast—" Phyllis herself couldn't tell how she felt about Ada.

From a woman's point of view, Phyllis admires Ada, and perhaps a little bit of adoration.

But from his wife's point of view, Phyllis was eager to dip Ida in the pig pen.
