Unlike Chen Yucheng, who always thinks about difficulties ahead, Sir Frederick Haynes seems to prefer to think about his own affairs in the best way.

Perhaps because he did not come in person, he had never seen the terrible scenes that had happened in the Straits colony. Perhaps even though he had personally directed the defense of Mumbai, the war ended too quickly and was unable to learn some lessons. In short, when he heard that the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had landed in Tanganyika, Sir Frederick Haynes did not feel too much panic, but he was still a little excited.

Because in the view of Sir Frederick Haynes, it cannot be blamed for his incompetence or the lack of bravery of the British Empire under his command, but for a specific reason.

For example, the loss of the Straits Colony.

The performance of the Strait Colony of Chamberlain, which was completely wiped out, was quite brave and powerful. Unfortunately, the extremely unexpected "large number of submarines" of the Red Navy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made Chamberlain and his army become an isolated army that could no longer be relied on due to the cut off of the sea supply line.

As for the reason why he fled from the Indian subcontinent, the simpler reason:

The ideal giants of the Ottoman Turkey and the Hindustan Empire were too unfamiliar with their actions. At the critical moment, they did not play a role in restraining the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that had already flowed into India.

Therefore, although Sir Frederick Haynes has been beaten with a bruised and bruised face and scarred by the successive punches of the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he still has such a belief that East Africa is now the place where he and his imperial officers and soldiers avenged their past shame.

Because Sir Frederick Haines believes that if the strength of the Imperial Royal Navy under his command is comparable to that of the high seas fleet of the Taiping Red Navy, then on the land of East Africa, the land athletes of the British Empire under his command are definitely more advantageous than the army of the Taiping Red Army in East Africa that have also put their feet into the Taiping Red Army in East Africa.

Judging from the general situation, Sir Frederick Haynes's idea seems to be nothing to be criticized for.

Today, except for a corner of South Africa, Africa has long become a paradise shared by allies of the Allied Powers such as Britain and Portugal. In some areas where they have shown their might, the forces of France, Italy and other allies have long been swept out.

And in East Africa, which he, the commander-in-chief of the Asian Theater of the British Empire, had been eliminated completely.

It was the once most rampant Russian-Siopian Twodros II. Not only had he become a hell, but his queen and prince were treated as trophys that could be shown off and sent to England.

Not only that, while vigorously rectifying the castle of Hama City (Mogadishu), he also built equally solid castles in Nairobi and Djibouti respectively, and built Addis Ababa City in the valleys of the central plateau of Ethiopia to ensure its absolute control over Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia.

It is precisely because of this belief that when the officers and soldiers of the Prussian allies of Tanganyika were beaten and cried by Chen Yucheng and his soldiers, Sir Frederick Haynes did not extend a hand of friendship to them.

This is definitely not because Sir Frederick Haynes has no sympathy for these Prussian allies at all. It is because Sir Frederick Haynes doesn't care about them at all.

At this time, Sir Frederick Haines was busy in Nairobi for the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which would soon advance eastward, digging the huge tomb he imagined.

As expected, on December 20, 1872, according to the British name of Commander Frederick Haines, Lieutenant General Robert Napier, the governor of Kenya of the British Empire, who had been sharpening his swords in Nairobi for a long time, finally saw the figure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army roaring.

So, early in the morning of the 22nd, Chen Yucheng, who originally wanted to carry out a tough battle against Nairobi step by step, was surprised to see such a magnificent scene.

More than 38,000 British officers and soldiers, under the orderly command of Lieutenant General Robert Napier, quickly formed a very regular and impeccable mighty team outside the castle in Nairobi.

Looking around, under the decoration of British officers and soldiers wearing brand new Red Army tops, the large wilderness outside Nairobi Castle instantly turned into an endless, bloody ocean.

And this is not all the belongings of Lieutenant General Robert Napier.

At the end, he stepped out of Nairobi Castle with a high profile, followed by a commander-in-chief Frederick Haynes, who also strengthened his elite cavalry regiment.

Chen Yucheng never expected that these guys who had suffered a great loss to the Red Army of the Celestial Empire would play this kind of tough battle with him in Nairobi.

Of course, Robert Napier, who was showing off his power, soon became disappointed and confused.

On the wide front several miles away, the Taiping Tian people were still busy doing the same thing - digging a trench.

If it weren't for those countless small shovels flying up and down, they would have been able to see the vigorously moving bodies, these Taipingtian people wearing yellow desert battle robes would immediately merge with the earth.

General Robert Napier, who had only learned to fight against the people on this land of Africa for a long time, had never fought with the Taipingtian** team and had never seen such a scene. At this time, General Robert Napier seemed to have accumulated enough energy to eat, but punched the cotton bag. It took him a long time to figure out what the Taipingtian people were doing?

Could it be...can they escape from the ground?
