The Boers are storming Pretoria. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the title, and Wang Mingshan casually put the relevant report aside. After the British reached an agreement with China, the Boers did not attack the British expeditionary force like moths to the fire, as Wang Mingshan thought, and did not launch an offensive against the East African Administrative Region and the Rand Gold Mining Area, which was newly incorporated into the East African Administrative Region. The Boers chose Pretonia, which the Zulu Kingdom occupied, as their target.

If the Boers were willing to launch an attack so desperately, Wang Mingshan would not care. The British once put the Boers to the point of being poorly clothed and hungry, and when the British ended the war, the Boers who had been scattered in various parts began to besiege Pretoria. Supporting the Boers to continue the war was naturally the supplies that the British had come up with. Wang Mingshan didn't want to be punctured immediately, he was ready to wait for Britain to continue to die to a certain extent, and the Republic of China could find an opportunity to occupy the whole of South Africa.

In other news, a delegation sent by the Kingdom of Italy to visit the three counties of Sudan, headed by an Italian prince. The document states that the man met Wei Kun in London, and that the two sides negotiated funding and labor from the Italian side. Wang Mingshan knew that Wei Kun had a political stance with Wei Ze on the treatment of labor, and both aimed at developing productive forces. They do not unconditionally believe that everything is right for the workers, and they will not take the exploitation of the workers as the first goal. As for the Italians, Wang Mingshan suspected that their government had plans to sell labor.

Putting down the documents in his hand, Wang Mingshan sincerely hoped that Wei Kun would not make a choice to disappoint Wang Mingshan. The reason why he is willing to resist pressure and support Wei Kun to take over the East African Administrative Region is because Wei Kun has so far shown his choice to implement Wei Ze's political line. If Wei Kun could not inherit Wei Ze's line, Wang Mingshan would definitely not support Wei Kun, a cadre who did not have a particularly good impression on other staff. Being Weezer's son is not a good thing most of the time.

Just when Wang Mingshan was about to stop reading the report and convene an agricultural work conference. The secretary sent in a telegram, and Wang Mingshan acted as if nothing had happened after reading it. "Send a telegram to the government of the Boers," he said. Ask them how they plan to respond to the attack. ”

A telegram was sent from the railroad that a Boer cavalry had attacked a railway station in China. Although the number of people on the other side exceeded 200, there was no way to shake this railway station with a total area of less than 2,000 square meters. Not only that, but the station killed and wounded about forty enemies, dragged those wounded into the station and interrogated, and learned that they were Boer guerrillas. The Chinese side was very dissatisfied with the looting of the fire, coupled with the lack of supplies, so they launched an attack on the station.

In addition to sending a telegram of questioning to the Boers, Wang Mingshan called the secretary who was about to leave, and "sent another telegram to the British, asking them if they had released the Boer prisoners in the concentration camp." ”

The British once captured tens of thousands of Boers, mainly the elderly, women and children. Although Wang Mingshan knew that there was such a thing, he just didn't pay attention to it. Now that the Boers themselves are dying, Wang Mingshan also has to consider the necessity of being killed by China himself. As for the fact that the Boers were still so crazy, Wang Mingshan was very suspicious that these people were not able to welcome their relatives who had been released from the concentration camps of the British. Theoretically, the Boers should think about how to start a new life with their families. Instead of provoking another big country with enthusiasm. Could it be that the stubbornness of the Boers has reached the point where they will be pressed to the ground by the world power Britain for a while, and then they will have to ask China to do it again?

After issuing the order, Wang Mingshan threw away the matter that involved the lives of tens of thousands of people. As if nothing had happened, Wang Mingshan continued to hold his agricultural meetings. According to Wang Mingshan's arrangement, several telegrams were sent to several places, one of which was sent to the Military Commission, hoping that the Military Commission could support some trucks in East Africa and form a small motorized infantry to deal with the Boers.

This telegram was far from alarming Wei Ze to solve the problem, and Wang Mingshan's request was not urgent, so the Military Commission replied with a message, "It will be resolved within half a year after half a year." At that time, not only Wang Mingshan's truck will be given, but East Africa will also be equipped with a group of soldiers who have experienced the war. When the time comes, not to mention the Boers, it will be okay to bulldoze southern Africa.

With the support of the Central Military Commission, Wang Mingshan naturally would not make excessive demands. By this time, the British had called back, and all the Boer prisoners in the camp had been released. The British were puzzled by Wang Mingshan's question. Wang Mingshan immediately replied, "We were attacked by the Boers, because the captured Boers were using British weapons, so we judge the sincerity and determination of the British side to fulfill the treaty." If it is ultimately judged that the British are not sincere in fulfilling the treaty, there is no need for us to stick to the treaty any longer. ”

In the face of Wang Mingshan's threat, the British immediately called back to deny it, and sent representatives to rush from Cape Town to Nanzhan City at great speed. As Europe's-stirring sticks, leading the signing of numerous treaties, the British know exactly what role they are playing today. In addition, to Wang Mingshan's surprise, the British admitted that they did not have the ability to fully implement the previous agreement, and they did not have the ability to control the Boers at a time when the expeditionary force continued to withdraw from the Cape Town colony. So Britain said that whatever the Chinese are willing to do, the British will support. As long as you communicate more in advance and don't cause misunderstandings.

Wang Mingshan didn't have any illusions, thinking that the British would probably push back and delay. Now the British actually told the truth, which made Wang Mingshan feel very surprised. So Wang Mingshan began to shirk it, "Everyone, I don't think you should be so nervous, things can be taken slowly." ”

The British representative waved his hand again and again, "No, no! Excellency. For the sake of peace, we believe that the only way to do this is to cut through the mess quickly. If the Boers had been attacking the Chinese with our weapons, would you really believe that it was all a Boer conspiracy? I don't think so. We in the UK have encountered such a thing, which has caused many unnecessary misunderstandings and losses. ”

Wang Mingshan has always felt that the British are masters of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, and when he negotiated with the British, Wang Mingshan never heard the British negotiators tell the truth. The only one who told the truth was probably the British Highness who was full of thought for himself. Now the British suddenly began to tell the truth, which made Wang Mingshan very puzzled.

But no matter how puzzled, the change in the attitude of the British made Wang Mingshan unable to attack. Because the British not only put forward the general direction of the solution, but also put forward very experienced views on the specifics. "We have brought the quantity of weapons and ammunition supplied to the Boers, and I think you also have the types and quantities of weapons and ammunition that you have supplied to the Boers. We only have to combine these and analyze them to see how much fighting power the Boers still have. Including the experience of fighting the Boers, we also hope to be able to share it with you. ”

Is it necessary to sell so thoroughly? Wang Mingshan, who was extremely depressed, couldn't help but complain in his heart. In all fairness, Wang Mingshan really didn't fully look up to the British before, because the two sides had no cooperation and were completely in a-for-tat situation. Now after seeing how capable the British are in cooperation, Wang Mingshan feels that the Boers are a little pitiful.

It is impossible for Wang Mingshan to discuss the details with the British, he only cares about the general direction. Seeing the sincerity of the British, at least the British have put themselves on fire. If it was their previous trickery, Wang Mingshan would have no other way than to prepare for the Cape Town. After all, the agreement in London is based on full cooperation in southern Africa.

At present, the British are so cooperative, list what they should do, if the British are honey-bellied this time, they are still stumbling behind their backs. When the British are completely resolved, Wang Mingshan probably won't even have a trace of sympathy or guilt in his heart. Although Wang Mingshan knows his identity and disposition without any morality, as a Chinese, he always feels a little uneasy in his heart when he bullies. This has nothing to do with good and evil, and this is a characteristic of Chinese civilization.

When Wang Mingshan sent a representative to negotiate carefully with the Cape Town side, the British representative was also a little more relaxed in his heart. Such cooperative gestures and actions are not the norm for the UK. If Britain's opponents were those countries on the European continent, Britain would certainly not be afraid. Now facing China, especially the news that the Chinese ocean-going fleet has swept the east coast of the United States has reached the British side. The Grand Fleet of eight battleships sailed thousands of nautical miles at sea without the slightest base and fought all the way. This endurance and combat range alone made the British feel terrified.

The British, who once thought that the United States had a high probability of defeating the Chinese, later saw that the situation was not quite right, and adjusted the goal to the fact that the United States was able to inflict unbearable losses on China. A few months earlier, Britain had lowered its target to the United States being able to keep the East Coast. Now the British see that the United States is finished. Not only is the United States finished, but there is already an argument in Britain that "Britain cannot guarantee its land and sea security by relying on its strength."

Based on the experience of the British, after a great victory, China will surely sweep in all directions after a hundred battles. Britain is in jeopardy in North America and Canada. Not giving Chinese excuses is the general view of Britain at this time, and offending China because of the Boers at this time is not cost-effective.

If there is anything worse than offending a great power, it must be offending two great powers at the same time. As soon as China and Britain cooperated, the end of the Boers was sketched on paper. China uses the metric system, Britain uses the imperial system, and the caliber of rifles in China and Britain is not universal. The weapons imported by the Boers from China are still there, but they have run out of bullets. The Boers captured a shipment of British weapons during the war, and the British supplied the Boers with ammunition directly.

"Your Chinese bullets are too difficult to imitate. So we gave up. A very apt compliment from the British representative made the young Chinese negotiators laugh and blossom. Even if he soon realized that he had lost his temper when reminded by his colleagues, the move made the British negotiators feel very sad. It is really sad that such a group of Chinese who have never seen the world can force the British Empire to bow its head.

Of course, the matter about the bullet was not made up by the British representatives, and the progress of Chinese light weapons made the British feel great pressure. The British used red copper to make bullet shells, and China used brass to make bullet shells, and the warheads were made of copper and steel cores, which was not the same thing as the British's lead warheads. As a result, the accuracy of Chinese bullets is much higher than that of British ammunition. You know, British ammunition is already considered a top-of-the-line product in Europe.

The British did not want to copy Chinese ammunition, but there was a problem, the British found that the cost of doing so was too high, and the price of a Chinese bullet was several times that of a British bullet. Moreover, the quality of China's granular gunpowder is much higher than that of British granular gunpowder, and the price of reloading bullets is high and the effect is poor. It would be better to supply the Boers with British ammunition directly. One thinks of the use of such ammunition by China throughout the entire war in North America. The British delegates felt uncomfortable in their hearts. This is a comparison of national strength between China and the United Kingdom.

"How much British ammunition do the Boers have now?" The young Chinese representative asked with a smile on his face.

Now that it has begun to sell, the British have done things thoroughly, and for the data and inventory that the British have, "500,000 rounds." About 10 rounds for one person. We have closed the foreign access to the Boers. If there were no other roads to transport ammunition to the Boers, there would have been only so much for them. ”

"Why do the Boers dare to attack our stronghold so arrogantly?" The young representatives of China did not understand. An armed force with only ten rounds of ammunition per person took the initiative to attack the powerful Chinese ....... Well, even if the East African Administrative Region is far less powerful than China itself, it will not be difficult for the East African Administrative Region to be fully mobilized and eliminate the Boers.

The British delegates were very puzzled by the level of the Chinese, and they couldn't even understand many simple questions, could it be that the Chinese became stupid after they arrived in Africa? However, in his heart, the British representative still explained responsibly: "If you can't get ammunition and supplies from China, the Boers can't hold on." We fought the Boers to the end, and many Boers organized attacks on our small part one after another. They didn't attack our small unit to kill people, and they didn't intend to drive our small unit away, they did it to steal something. As soon as they catch our people, they will take everything from our people and only leave a pair of panties for our people. ”

The young Chinese delegate wanted to laugh at the thought of the British captives being stripped naked. But when he thought about the whole thing, his smile disappeared. This news provided by the British completely changed the image of the Boers on the Chinese side. The previous impression was that the Boers were very tenacious and warlike, almost a people on horseback. Now, listening to the British introduction, the Boers have now reached a point where they are almost running out. No matter how heroic it is, in this era of hot bingers, no matter how high the equestrian skills are, they are afraid that they can't compare to the big black brothers who shoot with rifles. If the Boers had continued to receive support from the British, they would have been able to continue fighting. If the British had not played a false game, or provided wrong data, the current Boers would have no ability to fight again.

With this in mind, the Chinese negotiating group suggested adjourning the meeting and held a small internal meeting. After finding such a point, everyone unified their thoughts again. Just start negotiations with the British again. This time, the British delegates quickly noticed the change in the young Chinese officials, and although the experienced British officials should have understood the crux of the problem long ago, the Chinese officials did grasp the key points after having more sufficient information, rather than being stupid to the end. This has led British officials to think more highly of young Chinese.

This news was sent to Wang Mingshan, and Wang Mingshan only said, "I don't know if the Zulu people have the ability to drive the Boers away from Pretoria." ”

With such a one-sentence instruction, the East African side immediately began to act. The first, of course, was to inform the Pretorian defenders that they were ready for action. At this time, the command system of this army is completely taken over by the personnel of the East African administrative region, and it is time for these brothers to come out.

Lieutenant Zhong Liang, who was in Pretoria, had been promoted to captain by this time, and he was leading his troops on duty in the vegetable garden before he was called to the meeting. Vermicompost is very effective in fertilizing land that is not barren in the first place. There is no shortage of water in Pretoria, which is more conducive to plant growth. The Boers who stormed Pretoria a few months ago did not have time to destroy the vegetable gardens. At this time, the vegetable garden was already lush and green. The red tomatoes are mouth-watering, the orange-red pumpkin, the turquoise winter melon, the emerald green loofah, and the glittering purple eggplant. As long as it is mixed with those salty canned meats, whether it is fried and fried, it can make a very delicious meal.

While Captain Zhong Liang was thinking about what he should eat for the evening, he was dumbfounded by the news that the troops had brought in. The number of Boer forces surrounding Pretoria was probably between 5,000 and 15,000, although the troops also had corresponding reconnaissance, but it is not particularly clear. Because the Boers are annoying, but the Zulus, who are allies and subordinates, are even worse. These people have not received modern military training at all, and the spirit of battle is not so much courage as wildness.

In the past few months, the Chinese have been vigorously training, adhering to the intention of guarding the city. In retrospect, the reason why the Boers were not able to carry out more extensive destruction after entering the city was because they did not have enough ammunition in their hands.

When it was confirmed that the soldiers outside had no more than fifty rounds of ammunition in their hands, and that they could probably not even complete a medium-intensity battle, Captain Zhong Liang's shame drove everything related to appetite out of the clouds.

In response to the current situation of the Boers, the troops of Pretoria immediately began to arrange corresponding tactics. Without waiting for the people sent by Wang Mingshan to negotiate with the king of the Zulu Kingdom to send troops, the news came back. The news of the relief of Pretoria reached Nanzhan City. The telegram was written very briefly and proudly, "Our army has poured out of the nest and won a great victory!" ”
