Adhering to British tradition, Southern Africa has strict regulations on combat.

The British are indeed old-fashioned and boring, but the British are of course unique to them as they can go from an island country that is in a corner to an empire that never sets the sun around the world.

Whenever there is a battle, the officers in the British army must hold a commanding knife or not, and lead the troops to charge first. Although the protagonists on the battlefield have transitioned from cold weapons to hot weapons, this has never changed.

In Rock's eyes, although there are many things that Britain has to complain about, Rock still highly praised this point. Therefore, the officers of the Southern African troops must also charge forward before the battle, otherwise they will have to engage in military law.

Although the pioneer team is not an army, it also has a strong military color. If the captain Ryan winces when the horse thief attacks, the consequences caused by this will be borne by Ryan.

On the contrary, if Ryan fought bravely when the horse thieves attacked, then even if the entire army was wiped out, Ryan would be a hero in Southern Africa. His family, tribe, colleagues, and friends would be proud of him.

Compared to Ryan, Mike Kelly performed a bit worse.

This is actually understandable. After all, Mike Kelly was a pure British. Before Southern Africa Autonomy, the British enjoyed a special status in Southern Africa. The Boers, who were also white, also had to bow their heads. However, all this no longer existed after Southern Africa Autonomy. Therefore, when Southern Africa Autonomy was autonomous, many British people left Southern Africa and went to other British colonies.

Mike Kelly came to Niasaran after Southern Africa Autonomy, so it is understandable that there is a psychological gap. He originally had no need to come to Southern Africa to fight the horse thief. If Mike Kelly went to Canada or Australia, then Mike Kelly would have a more stable life.

Of course, we can't deny Mike Kelly because we didn't perform well when we met a horse thief. Normal people will be more or less excited when they experience such things, so Rock is going to send Mike Kelly back to Niasaran with the wounded for a while before letting Mike Kelly choose.

Looking back, Rock also wanted to confirm the identity of the horse thief.

At this time, Ryan was very sure: "The horse thieves must be Germans, and they were regular cavalry units in Southwest Africa. They spoke in German, and all the rifles used were Mauser. There were also marks from the Southwest African military on the horse's butt. They appeared on the other side of the river from shortly after we arrived at the Kuanto River. Now, they should be waiting for reinforcements to try to kill us all-"

Thinking of what happened in the past few days, Ryan was still indignant. These people were sorry for the title of "soldier" at all, without the honor and glory of soldiers.

"The regular cavalry unit is very good!" Rock laughed furiously. The lessons learned by the Germans were not enough. It seems that the rebellion of Tangenic did not really restrain the Germans, at least not restrain the Germans in Southwest Africa.

That's very simple. Now the army in southern Africa gathers in the Okavango swamp, and it's very simple to find trouble for the Germans. There is no need to even send out regular troops. The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are enough for the Germans in Southwest Africa to have a headache.

"Locke, calm down. It's not time to tear the face yet." Viscount Glaston did not recommend Rocke's revenge, at least he could not take revenge yet.

"Lord, I am the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Southern African Federal Government, and it is my responsibility to defend national security." Rock said righteously. Viscount Glaston could not care about Ryan and the others' lives, and Rock could not ignore it.

"—" Viscount Glaston was speechless. As the governor of Southern Africa, defending national security was actually the responsibility of Viscount Glaston.

In fact, southern Africa is not at a disadvantage. Standing in the armored command vehicle, it is clear that the two "strong wind" fighters have flew over wide rivers and entered Southwest Africa, and are still circling and diving. It is estimated that if all the horse bandits are eliminated, the pilots will not return.

Only then did Rock realize that there seemed to be no such thing as airspace in this era. In theory, even if the Niasaran's plane flew to Windhoek, the Germans seemed to have no reason to object.

It didn't take much effort, and in just about half an hour, two "strong wind" fighter jets returned and landed on the grass not far from the convoy.

The two pilots that jumped out of the cabin were Xu Xiu and Ethan. After returning from Europe, Lin Chengzhi went to the Aviation Research Institute to assist the Aviation Research Institute to continue to improve the "Strong Wind" fighter jet. Xu Xiu and Ethan served as flight instructors, responsible for training pilots for Italy.

They have all received a transfer order. Once the Southern Africa has established an air force, they will enter the air force and become the first fighter pilots in Southern Africa.

"Sorry, we didn't actually complete the mission. We didn't carry many bullets when we set out from the Okavango Swamp. We just ran out of all our bullets, so we had to return--" Xu Xiu was still unsatisfied, and he was very regretful.

"We killed about 300 Southwest African cavalrymen, and the remaining dozen cavalry fled in the direction of Konggra. Major Mike did not arrange for a pursuit and was cleaning the battlefield." Ethan was very young, no more than twenty years old, but he had a calmness beyond his peers.

The children of poor people have long been in their homes, and the young people in Niasaran are very mature, including those who have just immigrated, who know very clearly what they should do.

Major Mike was the security officer of Viscount Glaston, but not assigned by the federal government, but sent by the British War Department.

"You two? Three hundred cavalry?" Viscount Glaston finally had a clear understanding of the power of the plane.

"Maybe more than that, time is tight, we have no detailed statistics." Ethan answered honestly.

That's right, although Viscount Glaston was surprised, Rock was not surprised at all.

Aircraft have just appeared in this era. Not to mention the cavalry troops in Southwest Africa, even the troops of Niasalan have not yet begun training in dealing with air strikes.

Therefore, when the cavalry in Southwest Africa dives in the face of the "strong wind", they probably stayed stupidly in their place, neither knowing to avoid nor counterattack, and could only be slaughtered.

"This is still the case where there is no bomb. If there is a bomb, there is no need to be such a problem. Just throw a bomb down. Bang, our convoy is as big as a place, everyone will die." Rock made a casual comment, and Viscount Glaston immediately shuddered and chilled.

Rock and Viscount Glaston traveled together, and the troops accompanied were about two companies, almost forty or fifty armored vehicles.

Now the circular position composed of these armored vehicles is almost as big as half a football field. If you want to destroy such a large area, about a fifty kilogram bomb would be enough.

Fifty kilograms of bombs are different from fifty kilograms of explosives, but the principle is actually similar. The attack of bombs does not depend on debris, but mainly on shock waves. This also means that once the bomb is thrown down, everyone within the killing radius will die.

"Is the power of the plane really so great-" Viscount Glaston was absent-minded and didn't care about the losses of the pioneer team.

Rock couldn't ignore it. The relevant statistics have come out now. After three hours of battle, the pioneer team composed of 120 people died and 67 people were killed, and the rest were injured.

In fact, most of the dead were African workers, and not many of the real whites and Chinese died, but this made Rock angry enough.

The identities of those horse bandits were also confirmed to be indeed German Southwest African cavalry.

Perhaps it was a sure victory, these Southwest African cavalry did not have much disguise, and many people were wearing the military uniforms of Southwest African cavalry under their coats, which left enough evidence for Rock.

Relatively speaking, the Germans suffered greater losses. Nearly 300 German cavalry bodies were left on the southern African territory of Kuanto River alone, and nearly 100 corpses were scattered across the river. As for those German cavalry who were shot dead during crossing the river or disappeared in the water, I don’t know how many.

"Locke, leave this question to me, and I will give you a satisfactory answer." Viscount Glaston finally found the entry point. This kind of political negotiation is what Viscount Glaston is best at. In commercial negotiations and battlefields, Viscount Glaston is an amateur.

"Lord, we lost sixty-seven people, and the remaining pioneers were all injured. They are all our heroes and must receive the treatment they deserve." Rock reminded Viscount Glaston that the Germans should not be let go easily.

Of course, Rock agreed to let Viscount Glaston contact the Germans, which did not mean that Rock gave up revenge on the Germans, talked about it, and fought it. These two aspects did not conflict, but instead complemented each other.

"I understand that everyone in our southern Africa is precious and they will not sacrifice themselves in vain." Viscount Glaston was also in a state of great excitement at this time, and his eyes were on Xu Xiu and Ethan when he spoke.

Although Rock wanted to send all the injured back to Nyasalan as quickly as possible, the injured could not withstand the bumps along the way, so the convoy's accompanying medical team immediately began emergency rescue.

Even so, six seriously injured were still dead at night.

Rock did not rush back to Nyasalan. At night, the guards lit a bonfire. No one from Rock and Viscount Glaston had a coffee cup, and sat by the fire and chatted around the blanket.

"If the war breaks out, then southern Africa can take over Southwest Africa and Tanganika in the shortest time, cut off Southwest Africa and Tanganika's support to Germany. If necessary, southern Africa can also send troops to Europe to participate in the war, but that must be after occupying Southwest Africa and Tanganika. Africa is really a bit messy now-" Rock did not hide his hatred for the Germans, which was the enlightenment of a British nobleman.

"Of course, I believe in the strength of Southern Africa, but it will depend on the needs of the empire at that time--" Viscount Glaston's words were a bit obscure.

But Rock immediately realized that Britain probably didn't want to see Southwest Africa and Tanganika easily, as southern Africa would be too big.

The tail is too big!
