The system has given Leo a positive answer. Their navy will go ashore to assist the army in suppressing the rebellion. Back at the dock, many veteran sailors who are used to fighting and can fight in Germany have returned to their combat positions. Lieutenant Colonel von Schmidt, the training captain and chief instructor of sea training, is commanding the sailors to arm themselves, and many are dismantling small-caliber secondary guns.

After Leo and the others returned to the ship, the other students also came back one after another, without missing a single one.

"You are great. Soldiers must always be vigilant!" Lieutenant Colonel Schmidt's eyes were full of praise that could not be concealed. "Mr. Governor asked us for help. You should not have been sent to the battlefield. However, the day you entered school, you became a soldier of the Drake Empire. It is your responsibility to safeguard the interests of the empire! So I decided to send a marine corps of about 100 people. Children, go pick a rifle. It's time to test you!"

The quiet atmosphere before the battle made them nervous. They kept greased, checked parts, and cleaned the barrel of the 1888-style commission rifle in their hands. Thanks to Instructor Marvin's rigidity and stubbornness, these trainees were able to skillfully maintain their guns without worrying about the rifle jamming.

"Vashir, are you afraid?" Leo was a little confused when facing life and death for the first time. In his previous life, he dreamed of defending his country without fear of life and death, but in this life, he was still a little panicked when asked to kill someone.

"No, I'm getting hot-blooded now and want to beat up ten Zulus." It seemed that the alcohol in his body was still taking effect.

"Nicholas, what about you?"

Nicholas was putting the loose bullets into the magazine one by one, and then putting them into the bullet bag for use. "I am not afraid of fighting, but I am afraid of losing my honor!" It must be admitted that with his resolute face, Nicholas now looks very stylish.

"Beep...Beep!" The assembly whistle sounded!

"Gunners and naval cadets, assemble at the dock! Everyone else, stay where you are! Speed! Quick, quick, quick!"

[Commander, your first victory has arrived]

"hope so."

The Drake Empire was very powerful in German East Africa. In addition to a 100-man Governor's Guard to protect the Governor's Palace, there was also a defense force with a total strength of more than 2,000 people. The rest was a police force composed of local pro-German natives, whose combat effectiveness was worrying.

In addition, there was a fleet of the Drak Empire Navy in the port, consisting of a cruiser and two destroyers. Unfortunately, the fleet was not in the port on the day of the incident, and they were all out on a mission, otherwise the battle would have been much easier.

Of course, it was a pipe dream for a few thousand soldiers to control the vast German East Africa, but it was no problem to defend the rich area around Darasalaam. The interests of the Drak people were guaranteed by policies such as attracting and dividing the scattered indigenous people and supporting agents.

This group of Zulus was a branch of the Talen people who were driven out of South Africa a long time ago. After resting for several decades, the tribe flourished.

The Zulus were fierce and unyielding, and often fought against the Drak. The newly appointed Governor of East Africa was fed up with the endless repetition of the Zulus, and sent a 1,200-man army to encircle and suppress them. Now the city was empty of troops, and an unknown number of Zulus hid in the rugged plateau in the north, threatening the city of Daras-Salaam at all times. Later it was learned that the Zulu army sneaked in and divided into small groups to lure the encirclement and suppression troops to go around in circles.

Fortunately, sailors in this era were multi-tasking and skilled in using rifles and cannons. So in addition to retaining the necessary defense forces, they also gathered a 300-man city guard led by an officer of the Draco Empire Army and a marine composed of naval sailors, as well as Leo and his group of naval cadets and reserve officers in front of the Governor's Mansion.

The governor of East Africa, who was in his 50s, spoke heartfeltly about the enemy's brutality and evil deeds under the imperial eagle flag, shaping this war into the future of the Drak people, who had to exercise the right of self-defense. The scorching weather made the soldiers drowsy, until they heard the governor say that there would be a generous reward for returning victorious, and then they became excited and wanted to kill the enemy immediately.

After the pre-war mobilization meeting, the mixed force set out on their journey. Led by Lieutenant Colonel von Becker of German East Africa, they would take five steamboats up the river, land at the mouth of the Sand Valley, join forces with the tribal armed forces loyal to the Drak Empire, and then eliminate the Zulus entrenched in the mountains.

"Lieutenant Colonel Becker, these children are the future of the Navy. I hope they will not die cheaply in East Africa. I hope all of them come back! I believe you understand what I mean!" The connotations of Lieutenant Colonel Schmidt's two hopes were very clear. The possible deaths and injuries of the trainees made him a little uneasy.

Lieutenant Colonel Becker assured him, "We will bring back all the forty-two cadets. Schmidt, prepare a banquet to celebrate our victory and glory!"

Five motorboats sailed westward and landed at the mouth of the Sand Valley. The tribal armed forces had already built a military station near the river beach at the mouth of the valley in advance.

Lieutenant Colonel Becker arranged for all naval cadets to be stationed at the military station, under the command of an Army second lieutenant with combat experience, which would be much safer in the rear.

Lieutenant Colonel Schmidt only wanted the boys to experience the smoke of war, not to be cannon fodder. Although Lieutenant Colonel Becker was confident, guns had no eyes, and who knew which bullet would take their lives! These treasures of the navy could not be lost in his hands!

The steamship abandoned its personnel and supplies and returned to Darasalaam. Lieutenant Colonel Becker led the Imperial City Guards and tribal armed forces deep into the mountains to wipe out the Zulu rebels.

The military station stored a large amount of munitions and supplies for use at the front. Before nightfall, they built two bunkers about 57 meters away from the military station as secret sentries. W-shaped multi-stage trenches were arranged in front of the military station warehouse to provide effective defense. There was also a gun position behind the trench, which housed a mm naval gun left by Lieutenant Colonel Becker.

At midnight, Nicholas and Samir were on duty, patrolling back and forth along the cordon. Leo and Vasir, who took over the next shift, squatted in the bunker and ate canned food. Of course, they were not allowed to smoke, as fireworks were restricted in the military station.

Mosquitoes are rampant on the continent of Philix at night, and mosquito repellents cannot completely protect the body. There are always a few mosquitoes sucking blood on your exposed skin.

"Leo, when can we go back to Dallas Salaam? I kind of miss the beer there."

"Who knows? It should be soon."
