424 Lust is inward

When the Nyasaland militias defeated the Belgian mercenaries, Ulysses' name was Calemie.

After the Congo Free State ceded the North Sea coast, including Ulysses, to Nyasaland, the settlements along the North Sea coast were replaced with names that conform to traditional Chinese culture, with the exception of Ulysses, whose former Belgian garrison castle was renamed Fort Glory.

So the name is really not a satire of Erich von Falkingham.

"It was indeed not easy for the militia to defeat the mercenaries, I heard about that battle." Erich von Falkingham also did his homework when he arrived, learning about the great achievements of Nyasaland when it became the domain of Roque.

"Please, today's dinner has prepared a traditional German bacon sausage and dark beer, I hope it will make you feel at home." Roque's preparation is still very adequate, Nyasaland's cuisine is famous, and the same grilled sausages, made by Nyasaland's chefs, are also unique, not inferior to German chefs.

Erich von Falkingham's attention was clearly not on food, and in the time since he disembarked, the city construction of Ulysses had left enough shock on Erich von Falkingham, and this shock was taken to a new level after arriving at Glory Castle.

In fact, Africa in this era has always given people the impression of being desolate and backward, and the civilized world is basically two different concepts.

Ulysses changed Erich von Falkingham's impression of Africa, as a former Belgian colony, many of Ulysses' buildings have a distinct Gothic style, after becoming part of Nyasaland, most of Ulysses' buildings are Victorian, the two styles of architecture are said to be incompatible, but in Ulysses there is a very peculiar balance, all who have been to Ulysses are amazed.

Ulysses' Fort of Glory is a fusion of Gothic style and Victorian style, Gothic architecture is known for its towering, weird, and mysterious, and Victorian style is a large use of new building materials, with obvious characteristics of the Industrial Revolution.

The main building of Fort Glory is a Gothic-style castle, but the supporting buildings are all Victorian-style red bricks and reinforced concrete pure earth, and the decoration of the castle is also based on the traditional English style, plus the uniformed guards and maids, Erich von Falkingham really felt very stressed.

Erich von Falkingham's visit to Nyasaland was not public, so there were not many people attending the dinner, only Erich von Falkingham and two officials on the Tanganyika side, and Roque and Sidney Milner on the Southern African side.

After three rounds of drinking, Erich von Falkingham finally spoke about the purpose of the trip: "Sir, I know that there has been some friction between Tanganyika and Nyasaland, and I hope that we will be able to forget about the unpleasantness as soon as possible, after all, we do not want things to go into a way that is beyond our control." ”

Roque smiled and did not speak, and did not respond to Erich von Falkingham's statement, which meant that Erich von Falkingham had not yet accepted reality, or rather made a gesture, and in either case, it was not in the interests of Nyasaland and southern Africa.

Sidney Milner's words were sharp: "General Falkingham, we in southern Africa have always wanted to maintain friendly relations with Tanganyika, but unfortunately it seems that some people in Tanganyika do not think so, if you understand the situation, you will know that the current situation, most of the responsibility lies with you Tanganyika, not that we in southern Africa deliberately caused trouble." ”

It's not easy to say who is who, and it doesn't seem to be clear at all until this point, and Erich von Falkingham has only been in Tanganyika for a few months, and even if Tanganyika is responsible, it has little to do with Erich von Falkingham.

Needless to say, Erich von Falkingham would never admit that it was Tanganyika's responsibility to bring the current relationship between Southern Africa and Tanganyika to this point.

So Erich von Falkingham's attitude is also very resolute: "The current relationship between Southern Africa and Tanganyika is rooted in Nyasaland's support for the rebels at Fort Glory, Lord Nyasaland, put yourself in your shoes, if Tanganyika supports the rebels in Nyasaland, what will you do?" ”

This question seems difficult to answer, but for Roque, there is no hesitation: "There will be no rebellion similar to that in Tanganyika in Nyasaland!" ”

This conclusion is a bit arbitrary, but it is also normal for Nyasaland, even if there are people in Nyasaland who oppose Roque's authority, the Nyasaland military police can easily quell the individual actions of a few people, and the rebels have no chance to grow at all.

In this regard, Erich von Falkingham obviously has no confidence, and the Fort Glory rebels were not large in number at the beginning, but they have grown to this level step by step, which of course has the support of Nyasaland, and the incompetence of the Tanganyika military is also an important reason, otherwise the Fort Glory rebels would not have had the opportunity to get the support of Nyasaland at all.

"Let's face it, General, the reality now is that the Tanganyika military is simply not capable of quelling the rebellion in Tanganyika, if you want, I can contact the Fort Glory troops, and we will sit down together and discuss how to solve the problem in Tanganyika." Sidney Milner's suggestion drew the wrath of Erich von Falkingham.

Negotiating with the rebels is tantamount to admitting defeat for the Tanganyika military, and the German government, which has invested tens of millions of marks in stabilizing the situation in Tanganyika, cannot accept this result.

"Of course, if you don't agree, then you have to be prepared for a protracted war, there is no possibility of détente between the Tanganyika government and the troops of Fort Glory, if the mainland continues to increase troops, then Tanganyika may return to the previous continuity, it depends on how determined you are." Sidney Milner is not in a hurry, and it should be Erich von Falkingham who should be in a hurry now.

"Yes, of course we can sit down and talk, and we need to listen to the rebels at Fort Glory." Erich von Falkingham, for some unknown purpose, agreed to make contact with the forces of Fort Glory.

Roque and Sidney Milner looked at each other and smiled, and then Roque nodded to Zack next to him, and Zach opened the door of the restaurant with his head held high, and Mu Mu waited outside the door all the time.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Mu Mu of the Fort Glory Army, and I am glad to meet you-" Mu Mu had just finished introducing himself when he was interrupted by a sharp shout.

"Damn bastard, go to hell—" A German officer who had accompanied Erich von Falkingham to Roque suddenly picked up the knife on the table and lunged at Mu Mu.

Fortunately, when they entered the Glory Castle, Erich von Falkingham and his entourage were disarmed, otherwise Mumu would not have dared to pave.

"Stop!"

"Don't move!"

"Put down the knife—"

Countless shouts were immediately heard in the banquet hall, and the surrounding guards pulled out their guns and pointed them at the German officer who was holding a dinner knife, if it weren't for the fact that Roque and Sidney Milner were a little close to the German officer, someone might have fired by now.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Mu.

Mu Mu actually wore a portable pistol, but against the German officers, Mu Mu obviously did not need to use a pistol.

When the German officer pounced, Mu Mu stepped sideways, then took a step forward and punched the German officer in the neck.

The German officer didn't react at all, and was knocked unconscious to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm not used to being held against me-" Mu Mu was also very cold, clapping his hands as if nothing had happened, Shi Shiran walked to Erich von Falkingham and sat down, and tucked a napkin into his collar.

It's just that this action is really not very standard, but it is this kind of rough and uninhibited that vividly expresses Mu Mu's fierceness.

Erich von Falkingham looked at Mu Mu calmly, and the hand holding the wine glass was simply trembling, because it was so hard that the muscles were white and the joints were white.

"General Fakinghan, long admiration—" Mu Mu was also very calm, the German officer just now was lying on the ground, Mu Mu didn't care at all, it was as if he had killed a mosquito.

"Hello, General Mumu—" Erich von Falkingham finally calmed down, put down the cup, pulled off the napkin, and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, looking at Mumu with a complicated gaze.

Roque said that Nyasaland had nothing to do with the Fort Glory troops, but Mu Mu actually appeared directly in Fort Glory in Ulysses, which was enough to prove the relationship between Nyasaland and the Fort Glory troops.

But Erich von Falkingham can't use this as an excuse to accuse Nyasaland, this time Erich von Falkingham's visit to Ulysses itself is secret, and if his whereabouts are really exposed, then everyone knows that the Tanganyika German army can no longer maintain the situation in Tanganyika, and it is Wilhelm II who will lose face in the end.

"I'll just say it bluntly, General Falkingham, if you want a truce, then there is the current actual occupied area as the demarcation line, and the troops of Fort Glory are nominally subordinate to the leadership of Tanganyika, but the government of Tanganyika cannot interfere in the specific affairs of the troops of Fort Glory." Mumu still saved face for Erich von Falkingham, otherwise the Fort Glory troops would now be eligible to claim independence.

"No way, the Fort Glory rebels don't have the right to negotiate with Tanganyika at all, you must first lay down all your arms, and then we can discuss how to deal with the Fort Glory rebels." Erich von Falkingham did not back down, and regardless of whether Mumu agreed to this request or not, Erich von Falkingham was the first to express his attitude.
