After the joint consultation between Bugival and Count Roberts, it was decided to relocate the Allied command, along with most of Mozambique's administrative institutions, including the Governor's Mansion, to the Shao Kui area.
Shao Kui is also located in what was formerly Mozambique's Gaza Province. Currently, it is the size of a small town but already considered a well-developed administrative level in Mozambique, given the few Portuguese and the population concentrated mostly in several coastal cities.
The entire Mozambique coast is now unsafe, so an inland town like Shao Kui naturally stands out.
If only looking at Portuguese settlements in inland areas, Shao Kui is absolutely the best choice. Here, it stands out as one of the largest towns in all of inland Mozambique, especially after losing large amounts of territory.
