号称日不落帝国的英国,发动布尔战争的时候,轻而易举的从全球调集四十五万大军围剿布尔人.

这个动员能力是很恐怖的,毕竟布尔人的总人口才四十四万.

法国输掉普法战争之后,也是凭借殖民地的支援,很短时间内就恢复元气,这都让威廉二世各种羡慕嫉妒恨.

所以威廉二世才会迫不及待的想得到更多殖民地.

It’s a pity that the current global colonial system was established by Britain and France, and good places were occupied by Britain and France, leaving only some corners that Britain and France looked down upon for the Germans. Therefore, William II took the initiative to provoke an arms race and tried to break the colonial system established by Britain and France.

这才是德国反动战争的根本原因.

在英国和法国眼里,坦葛尼喀就是属于那种看不上的边边角角.

Unlike southern Africa, which is rich in gold, Tanganika was one of the least developed countries in the world until the 21st century, and its economy was mainly agriculture. In addition, Germany colonized Tanganika for too short time and had not had time to thoroughly develop Tanganika, so even the German government was not very concerned about Tanganika.

说白了,对于德国来说,坦葛尼喀也是赔钱货,就跟英国政府眼里的奥兰治差不多.

Because of the relationship between Nyasaran and Tanganika, Germany had to transfer troops from Southwest Africa to Tanganika, and could not get any supplies from the southern African ports along the way. German warships could not even enter Whale Bay surrounded by Southwest Africa territory. Because Whale Bay was an enclave of Britain, Germany had to transfer troops from Southwest Africa to Tanganika, the whole journey was about 6,000 kilometers.

德国人终于也感受到了前几年俄罗斯人的痛苦,当时的俄罗斯人为了把舰队从欧洲调到东亚,就饶了大半个地球,堪称万里迢迢送人头.

在调集军队围剿荣耀堡叛军之前,冯特罗塔首先派出侦察兵,对荣耀堡叛军的情况进行侦查.

As a result, Vontrota was surprised to find that the rebels of the Fort Glory had already owned cavalry, and the cavalry of the Fort Glory rebels were quite brave and good at fighting, and could basically fight 50% with the scouts of the Tangenican Servant Army.

冯特罗塔终于意识到,尼亚萨兰已经深度涉足荣耀堡叛乱.

于是坦葛尼喀马上就对尼亚萨兰提出抗议,并且通过德国政府向英国政府施加压力,希望英国政府能够限制尼亚萨兰的行为.

The administrative efficiency of the corrupt government is speechless, and the efficiency in such matters makes the German government even more desperate. Before Tanganika could respond, the rebels at Fort Glory had already begun to take the initiative to attack the surrounding German troops, and the war almost instantly burned the entire territory of Tanganika.

对于殖民地还缺乏经验的德国政府根本没有意识到,尼亚萨兰的组织能力有多强.

The rebels in Castle of Glory are different from the Herero people in Southwest Africa. The Herero people fought against the Germans for their territory, so the Germans had a clear goal and could find the Herero people at any time. As long as the main force of the Herero people were defeated, the Germans could easily destroy the Herero people.

The rebels in Fort Glory are different. These Tetera people are not Tanganika at all, so there is no traditional interest to maintain. The rebels in Fort Glory are just a synonym. Any rebels in Fort Glory can be called the Rebels in Fort Glory, which completely lost their effect on Vontrota's previous experience.

It cannot be said that it is useless. When Vontrota was in Southwest Africa, the way he treated the Herero people was to completely eliminate the Herero people, and then the rebellion would naturally disappear.

The same is true in Tanganika. Vontrota has now fully realized that the Terrara people are not trustworthy, so Vontrota ordered the troops to execute all the Terra people in Tanganika.

I can only say that this move by the Germans is really traditional.

然后伦敦的媒体就开始造势,在坦葛尼喀境内,发生了严重的人道主义灾难,就连刚果自由邦都在为坦葛尼喀境内的泰泰拉人发声.

其实比利时人是在看热闹,坦葛尼喀境内的泰泰拉人当初是因为不愿意接受比利时人的殖民,所以才从刚果自由邦逃往坦葛尼喀.

结果现在坦葛尼喀境内的泰泰拉人倒了霉,所以比利时人就各种幸灾乐祸,乐见其成,隔岸观火.

顺便还要说个风凉话.

Of course, Nyasalan was also joining in the fun at this time. Although it has nothing to do with Nyasalan how the Germans deal with the Tetera people in Tanganika, "humanitarianism" is a good excuse. With this excuse, Nyasalan can openly accuse the Tanganika government.

Vontrota absolutely did not expect that the problem in Tanganika is no longer the problem of the Tetera people. In Tanganika, there are not only the Tetera people who are Africans, but more are the Bantunegro people represented by the Neyanwezi and Hehe tribes.

罗克当然不会忘记坦葛尼喀境内真正的土着,这些真正的土着,同样不满德国的殖民,所以现在坦葛尼喀境内的叛乱已经不可遏制.

In mid-October, reinforcements from Southwest Africa had not yet arrived in Tanganika, and the colonization of Tanganika was on the verge of collapse. The German government had to send troops from its homeland to Tanganika to suppress the rebellion.

The British government also noticed this situation, so Earl Selbourne took the initiative to find Rock in his new First Cavalry Division in Pretoria.

驻扎在比勒陀利亚的部队是比勒陀利亚步枪团,全团官兵一千八百人,其中超过半数是华裔,其余多数是廓尔喀雇佣兵,以及少量布尔人.

Although this unit is nominally a rifle regiment, it is actually equipped with heavy weapons such as general machine guns and artillery, just as compared with the Ziwei Motorized Infantry Regiment, the number of cars is relatively small, and the troops still use military horses as vehicles.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The Pretorian Rifle Regiment's headquarters is in Fort Graham in the suburbs of Pretoria. It was a military camp during the Transvaal Republic. Now it has formed a huge camp around Fort Graham.

In order to avoid suspicion, Rock did not live in Henry's house, but lived in the military camp. Earl Selbourne came to find Rock in the name of inspection, so when Earl Selbourne came to Fort Graham, Rock led all the officers and soldiers of the Pretoria Rifle Regiment to welcome him.

Rock was very skilled in this formalism. Although the Pretorian Rifle Regiment would not hold a demarcation for Earl Selbourne, it was still possible to line up to welcome him.

Like the Northern Rhodesian Division, the newly formed First Cavalry Division is also known for its well-equipped equipment. Heavy firepower such as artillery, which are rarely seen in other African colonial forces, is also equipped in the Pretorian Rifle Regiment.

More are mortars and grenade launchers nicknamed "Super Revolver".

Since its emergence in the Russo-Japanese War, mortars have been increasingly valued by armies of various countries.

The new First Cavalry Division is at the forefront of all countries in this regard. The mortar has been equipped to the company level, and the mortar caliber of the regiment has reached 120 mm. This is the real heavy firepower of the new First Cavalry Division.

As for the "super revolver", it is even simpler. It is precisely because of the existence of the "super revolver" that the newly formed First Cavalry Division and the Rhodesian Northern Division have cancelled the equipment of grenade launchers and directly equipped the "super revolver" to the squad level, truly accompanying infantry operations.

Compared with mortars, the "super revolver" is lighter, more convenient to use, faster firing speed and stronger firepower, so it is very popular among all officers and soldiers.

Even for the smallest caliber mortar, a gun team requires at least five or six people. Two people carry mortars, others are responsible for carrying shells, and they also need to be temporarily assembled when used, which is not convenient enough for front-line infantry.

The "Super Revolver" is an enlarged version of the revolver, and it is also a reduced version of the grenade launcher. One soldier can easily carry it. Other soldiers can help carry the grenades in dispersed manner. One person carries more than a dozen, which is enough to consume one battle.

This was the first time Earl Selbourne inspected the newly formed First Cavalry Division, so Earl Selbourne was very interested in mortars and "super revolvers".

Rock emphasized the advantages of mortars to Earl Selbourne, and casually pointed to a mortar group to perform for Earl Selbourne.

This temporary performance was highly praised by Earl Selbourne. It was three shots and three shots from 500 meters away, and only if you train hard during your daily life.

At noon, Earl Selbourne personally experienced the meals of the Pretorian Rifle Group, praised the beef stewed with potatoes, and gave the chef a pound on the spot.

Rock was really not used to this practice when eating in the military camp.

But it's not bad, anyway, the water will not flow to outsiders' fields.

After lunch, Count Selbourne set up afternoon tea on the balcony of Fort Graham, and Earl Selbourne finally began to talk to Rock.

"Locke, you have to find a way to support the Tetera people in Tanganika. You can't let the Tetera people lose too quickly. You should cause trouble for the Germans as much as possible." Earl Selbourne did not seem to think that the rebels in the Fort Glory could drive the Germans out of Tanganika.

This is also normal thinking. For a long time, except for the Kingdom of Mozambique, no colony in Africa has successfully escaped from colonial status and succeeded in independence. Therefore, Earl Selbourne did not think that the Tetera people had the possibility of success, and even with the help of Niasaran.

"Lord, the Tetera people have the possibility of success." Rock kindly reminded.

Earl Selbourne was obviously surprised, but then it was changed to Rock: "That's not OK. You can't let the Tatera lose too quickly, nor can the German lose too quickly. You must continue to bleed the Germans and continuously consume the Germans' strength-"

This thinking is the real colonial thinking, and Rock is still too narrow-minded.
