While East Africa was reinforcing its eastern defenses, Mozambique didn't remain idle. Unlike East Africa's strategy which focused on defense, Mozambique preferred direct offense.
The value between the two is completely different. For East Africa, the Matebel Province is an industrial base, whereas Mozambique is just a colony. Thus, East Africa's territory is more valuable, and ensuring industry is not threatened by war requires meticulous defense.
Mozambique's main economic structure is plantations and mines, both of which have high flexibility. Even if they are destroyed by war, it's not a big deal, as investments are very low; simply continuously exploit the native population to maintain it, providing Mozambique with high adaptability.
