The kind of patriotic education in Britain that shouts long live at every turn is still too rough in Roque's opinion, the soldiers are not well fed and clothed in the front-line battles, the family members in the rear are in danger, the officers are drunk and dreaming of death, and there are so many bad things around them, even if they shout "long live" in their mouths, they are thinking about MMP in their hearts.

Patriotic education in southern Africa is subtle, and it costs almost nothing to mobilize soldiers to remember the bittersweet and sweet, but the effect is very good, and a soldier like Green, even if Schalke Beagle says that the sky is broken, Green will not go with him.

Even the Boer soldiers didn't think that by replacing federal management with Boer officials, Orange's economy would grow rapidly.

Under the management of Boer officials, the gap between Orange and other states was really widening, and this was evident in the equipment of the soldiers.

In principle, all the weapons and equipment used by the southern African army are provided by the Ministry of Defence, and the basic weapons equipped by both professional soldiers and African divisions are Lee Enfield, and there is no difference.

However, in terms of self-defense weapons, soldiers have a greater degree of freedom to choose, in principle, soldiers are not equipped with short-range pistols, but if soldiers buy their own, then the troops will also supply bullets, but only nine millimeters.

In this way, the 11.43 mm large-caliber revolver of the "cowboy" is excluded, and many soldiers choose M1911, Luger, or small-caliber revolvers, and some soldiers are equipped with saber daggers in addition to buying self-defense pistols, which are really armed to the teeth.

For example, Green, as a private, is not qualified to be equipped with a pistol, but Green paid for a Luger pistol, a Gurkha scimitar produced by Favart Iron and Steel Company, plus Lee Enfield and a sapper shovel issued by the troops, Green's equipment is worth more than a hundred rand.

Not only that, Greene also had a men's watch made by Itno, which also cost more than a hundred rand, and was said to be the trophy that Green's brother brought back to Greene from the Sinai Peninsula.

Fighting a war is a great way to make a fortune.

The same soldier, Sergeant Victor has served longer than Green, has a higher rank than Green, and has more salary than Green, but Victor's equipment does not have any self-purchased equipment except for the standard equipment issued by the troops, such a situation is very common in the southern African troops, soldiers from the Transvaal, Rhodesia, and Nyasaland are usually in a better economic situation, and soldiers from Orange, Bechuana, and Natal are in a worse economic situation.

There were very few soldiers from Basutoland and Eswatini in the conscripts, two places where there were few whites and almost no Chinese, and African soldiers served in African divisions.

On August 6, the situation in Europe deteriorated, and the Kingdom of Serbia declared war on Germany.

On 7 August, the French launched an offensive on Alsace.

After the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, France seized Alsace through the Thirty Years' War, but Alsace had close ties to Germany due to its proximity, and most of its inhabitants spoke German, and its traditions were more similar to those of Germany.

After the Franco-Prussian War, Alsace and Lorraine were ceded to Germany, and since then Alsace has been an eternal pain in the hearts of the French.

Like Germany's "Schlieffen Plan", France had a similar war plan, but unlike Germany, which was going to attack France through Belgium, France attacked Germany directly, and Alsace bore the brunt.

In the face of France's strong attack, the German chief of the general staff Moltke Jr. had to adjust his troops, originally Germany because of the two-front battle, the army was divided into two parts with the eastern front and the western front, and now the western front is divided into the southern front and the northern front, in order to strengthen the defense of the northern front, Moltke Jr. transferred the troops originally attached to the southern front to the northern front, which will seriously affect the offensive on the southern front in the next few weeks, resulting in the German army being unable to complete the encirclement of Paris within the scheduled time, so as to be unable to successfully achieve the "Schlieffen Plan" The objectives of the first stage of the war.

On 8 August, the War Department sent another telegram to Southern Africa, urging it to launch an offensive against South-West Africa as soon as possible.

As a result, Ade summoned Roque again, hoping that Roque would stop his fishing plan and carry out the War Department's orders.

"This is an arrest warrant for Henry." Ade was straightforward, Sidney Milner placed a folder in front of Roque, which contained a large stack of arrest warrants, all signed by Adel.

Roque opened it, and the first arrest warrant was directed at Schalke Beagle on the charge of "treason", which means that if Schalke Beagle resisted when arresting Schalke Beagle, then the arresting police could directly shoot Schalke Beagle to death.

Flip through a few random pages, and there are more and more familiar names, such as Biles, Kemp, Orange-born MP Chris Bessimo, Bloemfontein Mayor Carey Peppis, The National's editor-in-chief Matthew Hodge, Alvar Hamlet, who runs a shipping business in Cape, and Jesse Sweet, a timber merchant from Orange, the Orange State Assembly is the hardest hit area, with 18 of the 35 MPs on the list.

"Don't carry out your fishing plan anymore, now you have caught enough fish, catch all the people on the list, deal a fatal blow to South-West Africa, and don't give the Germans a chance to resist." Ade doesn't want to see southern Africa fall into war, although some people are full of yin and yang and complain, but they are not treasonous, as long as they don't violate this bottom line, Ade can tolerate it.

Edmund Gaunt, who has repeatedly opposed the members of the three northern states in Parliament, took the initiative to donate 1,500 pounds the day before yesterday when the Protestant Church was collecting donations for the Ministry of Defence, and the dispute between him and the members of the three northern states in Parliament was aimed at gaining more interests for the Cape, or for more power in southern Africa, hoping that southern Africa would have greater autonomy, which was not bad in nature.

It is Schalke Beagle who really touches Ade's bottom line, and those who would rather cooperate with Germany for the sake of profit, such behavior must not be forgiven, and must be punished.

"These people are not enough, and there are still some that need to be replenished." The list in Roque's hands far exceeds the list in Ade's hands.

"Scroll down—" Ade's face was displeased.

Roque continued to scroll down, and the arrest warrant in the lower half of the folder was only Ade's signature, and the object column was empty.

This also means that as long as Roque deems it necessary, he can directly fill in the name, and Ade will take responsibility.

This trust was too great, and Roque instantly felt that the folder in his hand was much heavier.

Back at the Ministry of Defense, Roque ordered the 105th Division, which was on standby in Walvis Bay, to immediately board ships and go to Europe for reinforcements.

Although the German troops were attacking Walvis Bay, the German troops lacked artillery, and the 103rd Division had little defensive pressure, and even had spare strength to counterattack, and the 101st Division and Ganwa's 102nd Division were divided into two ways to attack Windhoek in the north and south, which could effectively relieve the pressure on Walvis Bay.

Just as Roque gave the order to attack southwest Africa, the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division, which had been deployed on the Tanganyika border, launched an attack on Tanganyika at the same time.

The target of the Rhodesian Northern Division's offensive was Usombra, located at the northernmost point of the North Sea.

Usonbura is only 15 kilometers from the border, von Lettof Faubek, who succeeded Falkingham as commander-in-chief of the German army in Tanganyika, is an efficient and pragmatic person, after he came to Tanganyika, he recruited Africans to form two divisions of colonial troops at the same time as the reserves, both of which are not in Usunbra, von Letov Forbeck was very clever to abandon the defense of Usunbra, although this is the headquarters of von Letov Forbeck, but it is too close to the border, and there is no danger to defend, it cannot be held at all.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the 8th, the Northern Rhodesian Division attacked Tanganyika, and encountered no resistance along the way, and at half past ten, the commander of the Edward Commando Regiment, Gao Yi, entered Usunbula in an alligator armored car.

"This Nima is the largest city in Tanganyika! This is too broken and too small, not even as good as a district of our Xuanwu City, what have the Germans been doing all these years? Gao Ao is simply angry, the alligator's shock absorption system is still quite good, there are no bumps at all on the road in Nyasaland, and it is obvious in Usombra.

"There are only 300,000 people in Tanganyika, and Usombra used to be the largest city in Tanganyika, but it is no longer the largest city." Chief of Staff Rex is not surprised, in Africa, Southern Africa is absolutely alone, and other regions are simply incomparable with Southern Africa.

This can only be felt more clearly after leaving Southern Africa, where there is no sense of how fast southern Africa is developing, and southern Africans have become accustomed to everything in southern Africa.

"Thirty years, 300,000 people, 10,000 a year, so it's really a waste to hand over a good place like Tanganyika to the Germans, and we can only take it over." Some time ago, the Ministry of Defense reorganized the Edward Rifle Regiment into a mechanized infantry regiment, equipped with a tank battalion composed of forty "Ranger" tanks, plus the original 120 trucks, the Edward Rifle Regiment was officially renamed the Edward Assault Regiment.

The Edward Commando Regiment was probably the first mechanized infantry regiment in the world.

"No, Germany doesn't have as many human resources as we do." Rex is more pragmatic, Germany now has a total of 65 million people, and the demand for human resources for the development of industrial agriculture is very high, so there is no surplus population to immigrate to the colony, which is completely different from the situation in southern Africa.

The consequences of the lack of human resources are still very serious, reflected in Usunbula, the first city established by Germany in Tanganyika, which is estimated to have not changed much compared to 30 years ago, there are no familiar landscape trees, no bustling business districts, and even the road surface is not smooth enough, which makes Gao Ao and Rex very troublesome.

Mechanized troops are still a little ahead of their time, the Edward Commando Regiment is just trying, and there is only one mechanized unit in Southern Africa, the Edward Commando Regiment.
