Kerry had no way to deal with the Songgo fortress, as the entire fortress was like a turtle shell, and the East African army was like a turtle hiding in it, unwilling to come out and fight, causing a stalemate between the two sides.
This frustrated Kerry, who had only fought profitable battles in the French army. He had never faced such a predicament, but he was even more resentful towards the Portuguese in Mozambique. A colony is just a colony, unable to make a mark.
The inexperienced Kerry finally understood why colonial countries and regions could be so easily defeated by Westerners. It wasn't just an issue of equipment; the problems with people and systems were also significant.
The Portuguese were so incompetent, yet they could still firmly control such a large area of land. One could only imagine how pathetic the original local native regimes must have been.
