When time entered 1885, a big news came from South Africa, that is, the Boers and the British Empire started to work!

Fighting started! Fighting started!

This news is simply surprising, because the Boers are very weak. Although the Boers took advantage of the war between Britain and Boers, it is precisely because of this that it is surprising.

Because, it was a tragic time before, although not many people died, now the British have attached great importance to the South African issue. In other words, if they pay attention, their strength will be greatly improved. In today's South Africa, the number of British troops is 30,000!

How terrifying is this number?

Let’s talk about the previous American Revolutionary War, at that time, the British army had only 40,000 people at the beginning, but now, there are 30,000 people in the Boer era, which is simply a killing knife.

Moreover, there was a war between Britain and Boers before. In the first battle of that war, only 247 British troops participated in the British army.

With such a powerful British army, how could the Boers dare to fight them?

After everyone analyzes this, they probably have several advantages, that is, the Boers are locals and they have a geographical advantage. This is crucial in combat. The British mainly operate in Cape Town. Although there are British descendants in Dlandowa, if you really understand the local situation, it is by no means true that %≠Length %≠Wind %≠Text %≠Within %≠Text %.

On the other hand, it is probably the support of other countries for the Boers, such as France and Germany, who must support their own people.

But, can you fight against the British army of 30,000 in this way? Isn’t it too risky?

It is of course to take risks. The British army is not bad now, especially in terms of equipment. At this time, the British army had already replaced the rear-mounted bolt-action rifle, and their small hill cannons were also good. In addition, mortars and grenades were learned from the Pacific Rim Federation.

But, the Boers' equipment is also good. The German guys have not stopped doing arms business, and France is selling it.

The Boers also bolted rifles and mortars, but the cannons were basically gone. The Germans themselves were still absorbing this, and they felt that such good things should not be taken out easily.

It should be said that the British army has a great advantage, so...

The Boers also won a lot of victories at the beginning. They had a very advantage in small-scale confrontations and knew that the geographical advantage was good. But, after all, the opponents were very strong, so after a month of war, the Boers began to retreat continuously. Gradually, they could only fight guerrillas.

So is this losing?

There was no complete loss. The Boers are still there and are still fighting, but they are just temporarily retreating, but in this situation...

"We Boers are kind and just! The British Empire is evil! They infringe on our rights and rob us! Their purpose is gold! A group of shameless people!..."

The war is so difficult, of course, President Paul Kruger has to speak out. His speech is really inflammatory and accusatory. Simply put, he is calling on his friends, looking for reinforcements, and calling Europe!

This is also true, because the cause of this war was that the British invaded Delantowa, and their reason was that there was a saying in the matter of letting you be independent before, and they wanted to support the rule of the queen.

If you want to say, what the British said is right, but who doesn’t know that they are for gold? Why didn’t you come before?

This is true, but I can't say that. Kruger is very smart, and he has many good friends in Europe, but this circle of friends suddenly became bigger.

"I, Kruger, here, call to the whole world, especially to Europe, and the Pacific Rim Federation Empire, please support us..."

This... Europe and other things are easy to understand, but what happened to the Pacific Rim Federation?

Many people don’t understand, even people in South Africa don’t understand, let alone Europeans. And the news was called out like this, so naturally the news spread to the Pacific Rim Federation and the center of the imperial capital.

"Your Majesty! I heard that the leader of the distant country was named Kruger. In his words, he actually wanted to ask our country for help. This..."

"Your Majesty! Why is this?"

"Your Majesty! Do we have any diplomatic relations with that side country?"

"Your Majesty! Could it be that you secretly..."

The Pacific Rim Federation imperial capital was confused at that time, especially these officials from the former Qing Dynasty. Under the leadership of Li Hongzhang, they wanted to ask what was going on. In fact, they just wanted to ask if His Majesty the Emperor had done something secretly.

This is normal, because it is really strange. We don’t have anything to do with each other. Our emperor doesn’t know what he is doing day by day. He designed long-term trousers before, right?

"This..." After Li Mengyang learned about this, he was also confused. Did he not do anything?

At this moment, a person came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the matter was being discussed.

"Your Majesty! I did this!"

"ah?!"

Of course, everyone was shocked by speaking like this, and the person who spoke was General Yang Willie!

Why is it him?

Just this thought is definitely what everyone in the Palace of Supreme Harmony thinks, even Li Mengyang thinks this way.

However, before the question was asked, Yang Willie spoke.

"Your Majesty! I am guilty! I request to resign from all my current positions!"

“Ahhh?!”

As soon as Yang Weili said this, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was filled with a burst of thunder!

What's wrong with this Yang Willie?

Are you stupid?

Or, something really happened to him?

Corruption or **?

Many people think so, but the old man Li Hongzhang can see clearly.

"Yang Willie! You bastard! Did you say anything to that Kliu without permission?"

You really don't know, Li Hongzhang can see it very accurately.

"That's right!" Yang Weili admitted generously.

"Ah!? What a traitor!"

"Isn't this a deception to the emperor?"

"Yang Willie! We have all misread you. You villain!"

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court were scolding Yang Weili angrily, wishing to eat his meat and crush his bones!

"..." Li Mengyang felt quite speechless when he heard this. These ministers were indeed a little bit indifferent. They just regarded themselves as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. However, if you want to talk about Yang Weili's affairs, he did this himself, which was indeed a bit overstepping his authority. However, the most important thing about Li Mengyang now is to know some details.

"Old Yang, tell me what happened? What did you do?"

When the emperor said this, these ministers...

"Yes! General Yang should tell the truth!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is tolerant and steady, and he will definitely return General Yang's innocence!"

"Tell me quickly!"

This... the wind direction has changed!

Of course it has to change. The emperor is talking about Lao Yang, and these two words have profound meanings. Yang Willie is the old man of His Majesty the Emperor, and this relationship is very powerful!

What is this relationship usually called in the Pre-Qing Dynasty?

A hidden slave!

This is definitely not a derogatory term. This is an absolutely super positive term in the Qing Dynasty. You don’t want to get this title yet, because this hidden servant will be successful in the future and will be close ministers and capable ministers around the emperor in the future!

Qiandi was the emperor when he was the crown prince, that is, he was not the emperor. The representative figure of this type of Qiandi slave was the famous Li Wei, the most capable and capable official in Yongzheng's dynasty.

So, these officials from the Qing Dynasty had a clear mind...

So, what did Yeung say?

In fact, it is very simple. It was because Yang Willie stayed in Cape Town for a while and did not travel around the world with his fleet. Well, those three warships actually visited countries around the world that had diplomatic relations with the Pacific Rim Federation. Of course, Yang Willie could not hunt with Henry Roberts every day, right?

By the way, there must be other activities, and of course these activities cannot be limited to Cape Town. Of course, we have to contact the Delantova, because in name, Delantova still wants to be loyal to the Queen of England, and it is their British who have given you limited autonomy.

So, Yang Willie had a chance, and he could contact Kruger.

If you want to say that Kruger is really not an ordinary person, he is really smart and unique in looking at problems, but!

Yang Willie told Kruger privately that our Pacific Rim Federation expressed concern about what happened in Delantowa, and that our Pacific Rim Federation is an empire that upholds the belief in justice!

This, justice, this concern, this...

Obviously, this is enough!

What else does Kruger not understand?

The current situation is that behind Delantowa stood France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the very powerful Pacific Rim Federation empire in the world!

This is so strong that my strength is coming!

If you want to say, Kruger is absolutely smart, he would not be so rash in general, but the current situation is really great. Germany and France give away weapons, and other countries support it. Most of the world's powerful countries are on their side. Besides, he now has chips.

gold!

This thing is the key. Anyway, Kruger thought about it. As long as the gold was not taken away by the British, they would have chips.

To put it bluntly, if the British occupied the gold mine, then the Terratuwa will not only lose its land, but will never be able to be independent. However, if gold is used as a bargaining chip in exchange for support from countries around the world, then at least the Terratuwa can be independent!

At least there is freedom!

Everyone can understand this business, right?

So, Kruger was guilty and wanted to retreat, but now, he felt that he could fight!

What should Li Mengyang do after hearing this?

Will Young punish? (To be continued.)

ps: Thank you Brother Feng! Thank you for your support!

So what? When I changed the column last year, I said that the car was black. There was no chance at all in the Blue Camp, but it was okay. It was not like the car said. There were only one or two seats left for the legislators. Hehehe, but less than one-third, this century-old store was basically over. Next, the car was black. We thought that we were going to see it, probably it was soon, it should be very fast, so let's wait.
Chapter completed!
