As Ernst thought, the Portuguese army was dragged in three directions, and East Africa was recklessly swallowing up Mozambican territory in the north.

At this time, Portugal felt bad, this time the troops on their side were not small, and East Africa could still draw its hands to deal with itself from different directions, and Britain and France thought the same, so how many troops are there in East Africa?

Because of the outbreak of the Portuguese War, East Africa has successively expanded its army to more than 300,000, of which more than 70,000 are blacks.

Because East Africa deliberately sent the black army to death, the black army did not fight very carefully, and the same mentality as them was the black people in the Mozambican army opposite, so the two bastard armies actually fought half-heartedly.

Clément was quite irritable: "These fools can't beat East Africa with weapons that are more advanced than East Africa? ”

He also saw that the blacks were paddling, and East Africa didn't care about the blacks paddling, but Clement couldn't, because Mozambique had no other force to rely on except for the black army, unless Portugal drew troops from the mainland, but Portugal had that ability, and there would be nothing to do in East Africa.

When Mozambique was gradually encroached upon by East Africa, the western front was not peaceful, and like Mozambique, Angola joined the war against East Africa.

And Angola is not as lucky as Mozambique, because he encountered the regular troops of East Africa, the 411th Division, the 412th Division.

Therefore, unlike the two sides on the Eastern Front, which only fought with guns, the two infantry divisions of East Africa on the Western Front showed the Angolan colonies what modern warfare was.

The Mauser rifle was more advanced than the British and French rifles that supported the Portuguese, and the artillery, machine guns, and grenades could be arranged for the Portuguese, and the two infantry divisions squandered it.

So after receiving the support of Britain and France, the Angolan army was directly stunned after entering East Africa, which is the level that African countries should have? Don't talk about martial arts!

"How about we liaise with the locals? Did they reply? The Governor of Angola said angrily.

"Your Excellency the Governor, as far as I know, the Germans are probably coming towards Luanda, and we are now too late to turn to the homeland!"

"Bastard, only Mozambique is their own son? Obviously, Angola is much more important to the country than Mozambique. ”

This is also to blame Portugal for the slow return of news, but the west coast of Africa is too backward, still relying on ships to deliver letters, and the east coast because of the laying of submarine cables in East Africa, can directly send the news back to Europe, this line foreigners can also pay in Dar es Salaam and Mombasa, so although East Africa and Mozambique are at war, but Mozambique can also use East African telegraphs to contact Portugal and report the war situation to Portugal at any time.

Mozambique is now on the defensive, but most of the messages they send to their homeland are relatively reckless, with a taste of superiority, probably because they have fought more with the black army and slowly regained their confidence.

The East African Black Army and the Mozambican Army are considered to be the dragons and phoenixes, but the East African Black Army has a higher battle loss rate than the Mozambican army.

And Angola came up with the East African regular troops, so the treatment was not the same, and the East African army was like no one.

The British and French do not know for what reasons they attach importance to Angola and do not care about Mozambique, but one thing is certain: the British must have done it on purpose.

The French may feel that they are stronger in West Africa, and the core of East Africa is in East Africa, so weakening East Africa is the purpose of France, and as for Southwest Africa on the west coast, it is not attractive to the French at all, of course, this is the deception of the previous name of East Africa.

The land area of East Africa has actually broken through the geographical limits of East Africa, South Africa, Central Africa, and Southwest Africa are all dotted, and East Africa is not exclusive to East Africa, there are still a few forces in the northeast, and Mozambique is left in the southeast.

In the past, Mozambique could help East Africa conceal the situation of inland expansion, but since East Africa broke through to the west coast, the approximate territorial scope of East Africa is no longer a secret, so it can be said that there is no value in keeping Mozambique.

However, East Africa is very isolated from Mozambique, and the British naturally know this, so they want to keep Mozambique and the fish bones stuck in the throat of East Africa.

Britain and France are interested in Mozambique, in the final analysis, because Mozambique has a great influence on East Africa, while Angola in the west is not good, and the economic center of East Africa is distributed in the east, so Britain and France believe that even if Angola occupies the western part of East Africa, it will not weaken East Africa's strength.

Therefore, East Africa is not at all polite to Angola, and the differential treatment is obvious, and if the governor of Angola knows that he is being targeted for this reason, he is afraid that he will die of anger.

Just when the governor of Angola was depressed, he suddenly heard gunshots outside the city, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Report to the Governor, the Germans have called, what do we do now?"

"Hold Luanda first, don't let the Germans enter the city, prepare the ships, and we'll go north!"

In fact, Luanda as the political center of Angola, the defense should have been good, but Luanda made a fatal mistake as a coastal fortress, that is, for a long time their enemies are from the Atlantic, so artillery and so on are concentrated on the western coast, but the east of the city lacks defense means, after all, the era of inland natives holding spears and bows and arrows has passed, and now the east of Angola is German, not primitive.

The occupation of Luanda meant that the Angolan colony was largely abolished, but the Governor of Angola had fled to Cabinda by boat to continue the resistance.

The loss of the Angolan colony was a major blow to Portugal, and Mozambique fared slightly better.

After the occupation of northern Mozambique by East Africa, the Portuguese were caught between Lake Malawi and the Tete region by the East African army.

However, Mozambique had expected this for a long time, because the northern region was given up on their own initiative, although Mozambique is not larger than East Africa, but it also has more than 600,000 square kilometers, while Portugal itself is only about 90,000 square kilometers.

Therefore, Mozambique is also vast and sparsely populated, and the number of whites is smaller, and the undeveloped northern region is basically white land, if it were not for the rise of East Africa, Mozambique would not even want to send the army of more than 300 people to the north.

So now East Africa occupies the north, which was thought of by the Portuguese before the war, and they didn't feel much about it.

However, the problem that is more anxious for the Mozambican government now is that the number of troops is too small, and East Africa is putting pressure on Mozambique from all directions, and even the troops in South Africa are beginning to move, which worries the governor of Lyford.

Portugal certainly couldn't win, but the British weren't worried at all, and instead they began to sum up the strength of East Africa.

"We still underestimate the strength of East Africa, so far, we can be sure that the number of East African participants in the war is at least 70,000 or more, maybe East Africa mobilized nearly 100,000 people for this war this time, this figure is more than double the last East African invasion of South Africa, and we have observed that the East African Army is not all white and yellow, there are also many blacks."

"If you add the Western Front, they will definitely have to fight Angola, and the number of troops participating in the war in East Africa will definitely exceed 100,000."

"If we want Cape Town to expand northward, it will require at least 100,000 combat troops, which is not difficult, but we don't know which Indian or African has the highest combat effectiveness."

"Let's mediate the war first! Portugal is determined to lose, we must maintain Portugal's strength in Africa, and if we really let East Africa swallow up Angola and Mozambique, and then try to make the Germans spit it out through negotiations, the price paid will be high. ”
