"Hmph! This bastard dares to threaten us, he is so tired of living!" After Andre left, Surile shouted. ○ The Empire is the world's largest country, but it was threatened by a nation with a population of only 1.5 million. This is simply a shame and humiliation! If possible, he would have taken out his gun and shot that guy Andre to death.

Major General Song Jian and Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua's faces were not very good. After all, the Boers threatened them with the lives of thousands of compatriots. Although the empire has a population of 600 million, thousands of people can only be considered a small part of the 600 million people. However, if this matter is known in China, it will also cause an uproar. After all, the responsibility of the Empire's* army is to defend the interests of the Empire and protect the people of the Empire.

"General Song, why don't we send a telegram to the country for instructions. What should we do if the damn Boer people really do something random?" Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua said with a frown. Thousands of people were captured by the Boer people, which was his dereliction of duty. If he was investigated, he would definitely not be able to take it. Therefore, he did not want to see so many deaths and injuries of his compatriots.

"Well! I will send a telegram to the General Staff immediately to ask for their opinions!" Major General Song Jian nodded. He also felt very frustrated. The little Boer people dared to threaten them, and they were so impatient to live. If they didn't give them a little color, they would have been underestimated.

Just as the Imperial* army was still waiting for the orders from the General Staff, Andre had returned to the Boers' command.

"Andre, what do the Chinese say?" asked Martinus Pretorius. Andre's frustrated and terrifying look made him feel bad.

"His speech has collapsed, and the Chinese people rejected our request and claimed that if the Chinese who were captured by us were killed or injured, they would destroy the entire Boer!" Andrei said in a low voice.

"What? What's going on? Why is this happening?" Martinas Pretorius jumped up all of a sudden. He could hardly believe all this. After all, he didn't want to fight a war with the Chinese that concerns the survival of the entire nation. Once the Chinese do their best, the Boers are no match for the Chinese at all. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Chinese send one or two cavalry troops to South Africa, the Boers will have no chance of winning. He hopes that even this time

Yi failed, and the Chinese would not pursue too much except for the leaders. However, I didn’t expect Andrei brought back such a result. Isn’t this pushing the entire Boer people to the dead? If so, they would have no way out. Once they were defeated, it would mean that the entire Boer people would be killed. Although Africa is big, there is no place for the Boer people to hide, which has to be said to be an extremely sad thing.

Andre did not dare to hide it and revealed the entire negotiation process. Now, he did not think about how to expand his influence or replace Martinas and Pretorius. Twenty thought about how to overcome this difficulty.

"Hmph! Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys are really arrogant. If one Chinese dies, they will need to be buried with them. Is it too arrogant and unreasonable? Is the lives of Chinese people more valuable than ours? "Matinas Pretorius was very angry. Decades ago, the Chinese were not barbarians who allowed Westerners to bully. Now they have completely changed, making him very jealous.

"His Excellency President, I think there is one thing that needs to be reminded of!" General Ruber said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" asked Martinus Pretorius. He knew that at this critical moment, General Ruber would definitely not talk nonsense. After all, General Ruber was the most capable person among the Boer generals.

"From the uprising to the present, the Chinese people killed by us may have more than one thousand. If we convert the Chinese ratio, then we Boer people will have to die millions!" General Ruber said. During the Boer uprising, many Chinese mines and gathering sites were captured. Although most of the Chinese retreated, a small number of people still did not have time to withdraw, and many people were killed in the battle. In addition, when the Chinese retreated to Cape Town, the Boer army launched a pursuit, and in the process they also killed many Chinese people. In other words, if the Chinese really wanted to exchange one thousand Boer people for one Chinese, then the entire Boer people would be compensated.

Martinas Pretorius suddenly widened his eyes. The entire Boer talent was about 1.5 million. One million were killed by the Chinese. So, can this nation continue to continue? This is obviously unlikely.

"Damn the Chinese, are they going to genocide?" Martinas Pretorius said angrily, and at the same time, a deep fear flashed in his eyes. If the Chinese really wanted to genocide the Boers, they had no way. The Boers are descendants of the Dutch, but the Dutch Kingdom had long been destroyed, and no one would stand up for them. As for the Germans, although they supported the Boers in the early stage, Martinas Pretorius knew that those Germans just regarded them as pawns. If the Chinese were determined to destroy the Boers, the Germans would definitely not stand up to help the Boers. Maybe the Germans would still watch coldly. Then, after the Chinese destroyed the Boers, they would promote them in Europe to unite more Europeans to fight against the Chinese.

When he thought of this, Matinas Pretorius felt a chill all over his body, as if he was in an ice cellar.

"His Excellency President, now we have no other way, we can only fight to the death with the Chinese. If we can defeat the Chinese army entering South Africa, we may still have a chance. As long as the war between the Chinese and the Germans breaks out, the Chinese will no longer invest more troops in South Africa. Even if we cannot win independence, we can continue to gain a foothold in South Africa. Once the world war is over, if the Chinese are defeated, they will no longer be able to pose a threat to us!" General Ruber said.

"That's right, for our nation, we must fight to the death!" Martinas Pretorius nodded.

"General Ruber, the army in the rear is coming, and the battle on the front is left to you! I will return to Pretoria." said Matinas Pretoria. He needs to go back and prepare. Once the army on the front is not successful, the Boers may have to carry out a great migration again. The goal of the migration is the worse inland Africa. Only in this way can the existence of the nation be guaranteed.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President, please rest assured that I will do my best to win!" General Ruber promised.

The next morning, Matinas Pretorius left the front line and returned to Pretoria to prepare for a backup plan. At the same time, a large number of Boer troops were rushing to the front line. Although these troops were composed of farmers and miners who had just put down their farm tools. However, in order to defend their country, the morale of these Boer troops was high. The government had promised them that as long as the Chinese were driven away, the entire South Africa would be the territory of the Boer people, and each of them would be able to make a profit.

So, the Boers are crazy, they want to drive away the Chinese and live a good life. Although South Africa is rich, if there are Chinese people on their heads, they cannot live a good life. Only by driving away the Chinese can there be hope.

In Cape Town, the Chinese army was also making final preparations before the war. At the same time, they were also waiting for domestic orders.

On August 2, 1862, the 7th Cavalry and 8th Cavalry Army of the Imperial Army received an order from the General Staff. General Liu Zhongming, Chief of Staff, ordered that the Imperial Cavalry and the Imperial Army of the South Africa to do their best to suppress the rebellion of the Boers. As for the captured Chinese, they should also do their best to rescue them. If the captured Chinese are killed, then the ratio of one Chinese to exchange for a thousand Boers will be strictly implemented, so that the Boers will pay their blood debts.

Such an order made Major General Song Jian, Major General Surile and Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua very excited. It was equivalent to letting them not take care of anything and not be afraid of the Boers threatening their compatriots. In this way, their combat plans would not be affected.

It is said that the emperor of the Empire, Long Yufei, was very satisfied with their statement that a Chinese man was worth a thousand Boers. The Chinese Empire has now become the world's largest power, so the life of the Chinese is naturally much more valuable than that of others. Haven't you seen the air crash in later generations, the compensation for Chinese people is only one-tenth of that of foreigners?

The 7th Cavalry Army and the 8th Cavalry Army of the Imperial Army took action quickly. After more than half a month of rest, the cavalry had recovered their physical strength and energy, and gradually adapted to the climate of South Africa. Next, it was time for them to go to the battlefield.

The 7th Cavalry and 8th Cavalry Army of the Imperial Army will be the main force in the attack of the Boers, while the 135th Brigade and the militia will only serve as assistance.

At the same time, the army gathered by the Boers had already reached more than 100,000. It can be said that all the main forces of the Boers gathered here. And almost all were cavalrymen.

The two sides will launch a grand showdown between cavalry on the vast plains of South Africa. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
