After preparing the relevant materials and documents, Manske led Crus and his party to the military restricted zone northwest of Dar es Salaam city, accompanied throughout by the Guard Division and security personnel.
After all, Dar es Salaam city lay close to East Africa's First Town City. For the safety of First Town, not just anyone could come and go freely around Dar es Salaam city, especially within the Guard Division's military jurisdiction.
This was also Crus and the other Spaniards' first time venturing deep into East African territory. Other than Spanish diplomatic personnel being able to reach First Town, their usual activities were limited to the urban area of Dar es Salaam city.
The weapons demonstration site was a training base of the Guard Division. Here, Crus and the others got their first glimpse of the bearing of East African soldiers. It was three in the afternoon, so many units at the training base were conducting their routine afternoon drills.
"No wonder they are such a powerful army, capable of defeating Portugal and Britain. Whether in the rigor of their organization or the bearing and appearance of their soldiers, one could tell that this was a force with formidable combat power," Crus praised without exaggeration.
This made the accompanying Guard Division officer, Falkid, feel quite pleased. After all, being praised by Spain, another great power, gave him an even greater sense of accomplishment.
Falkid introduced, "Mr. Crus, our East African Army has always held itself to the strictest standards. We value discipline and training, and only through day after day of effort can we achieve such results."
Crus continued praising them. "If our Spanish Army could be like the East African Army, then I believe even the Americans might not necessarily be able to overwhelm us on the battlefield.
