As the various units in East Africa converged around Luanda, the "news of frequent victories" from Angola a month ago was completely exposed.
"You bunch of bastards, why is it that in less than a month, you can't stand up to the East Africans? Were all those military reports from the past few months just lies?"
Governor Owen of Angola was furious, and it seemed as if the temperature in the meeting hall dropped by a dozen degrees, leaving everyone silent in fear. The pride Owen felt a month ago was now matched by his anger.
The Portuguese troops at the front were fighting disgracefully. If the Portuguese troops had been dreadful from the start, Owen wouldn't have anything to say. But when the war began, everyone under him was claiming credit as if it wouldn't take long to march into First Town and capture the Heixinggen royal family alive.
