"This will be a national war, Britain is the most powerful empire in the world, they will not give in easily, even if you occupy Cape Town, they will continue to fight, so, in order to make the frontline soldiers fight better, the old and the children must have a safe place." Once again, Calyput reminded Kruger of the need to arrange for Boer non-combatants.

"It's not like I haven't thought about it, but here is our country, with our cities, our farms and our gold mines. The vast majority of people would rather die in battle than leave. Kruger said with a sigh. It was not that he did not think of arranging the old, weak, sick and disabled to a safer place, but alas, there was no such place in the whole of British Africa!

"Dying in battle on their own soil, that's what the soldiers need to think about, and those who don't have the duty to fight should try to survive, I know your concern, but it's more important to face the reality and look at what the British are doing in South Africa, they don't show mercy because some people are old people and children!" Calyput said.

"I can only do my best, but the point is, there is no such place in the whole of South Africa that can guarantee the safety of our people, do we want our families to be with black people? Or to the Portuguese colonies? I fear that if the British put pressure on them, the Portuguese will immediately give in. Kruger said.

"You can go to German Africa, where we can arrange land and people for you, and the first few years are completely tax-free. You will be treated in the same way as German immigrants, and of course the greatest advantage is that the German colonies are absolutely safe, and we will not be afraid of the threat of the British. Calyput said.

When His Royal Highness the Prince signaled Calyput to move some of the Boers to the German colonies, he still had a great difficulty understanding this request, and even thought that he was asking for trouble for himself, after a period of contact, Calyput had a deeper understanding of the Boers, and these fierce and independent people were a problem for any ruler!

Not to mention anything else, wherever you go, the nation that wants to be independent is willing to accept it? But Calyput was only a soldier after all, and political matters were not clear, and it was not easy to ask the prince directly about his intentions, so he carried out this order despite the fact that there was no objection from the rest of Bavaria.

In fact, His Royal Highness the Prince has already thought of this, the Boers are indeed a trouble, and judging from the fact that the Germans in Africa may not be able to hold the Boers with a population of only 220,000 and dare to fight against the British Empire. If all the Boers came over, it would be a big problem.

But think about it the other way around, it doesn't have to be like this, almost everyone has relocated to their land, and who will leave their homeland unless they have to? The 220,000 Boers, nearly 90,000 combatants, and more than half of those who were unwilling to leave, the first batch of people willing to come to the German colonies to start a new life is estimated to be no more than 10,000. It would be nice to even have 5000.

What could a few thousand people do when they came to the German colonies? What effect is there other than being caught in the vast encirclement of blacks? Coming from afar, without any foundation, even the means of life and production need to be provided by the German government, without compatriots, without arms, without the most basic material foundation, and a group of women and children, can these people have any other ideas than to do things honestly?

For the prince, in addition to reassuring the Boers and better fighting with the British, these people came to Germany to make some contributions to the development of the African colonies, after all, the quality of the Boers was still much higher than that of the blacks, and their money and expertise could still have a positive effect on the economic development of the colonies without rebellion.

When this suggestion was communicated to Wilhelm II, the latter did not raise any objections, and the crown prince, who was above the top, on the one hand, did not look down on the Boers, and on the other hand, because he was disgusted with the British. For this kind of move that can make trouble for the British by raising his hand, Wilhelm II naturally strongly supported it.

So, at the impetus of the prince and with the acquiescence of the German government, the German colonies in Africa began to accept Boer immigrants, of course, the number was small at first, and before the outbreak of the Boer War, only about 7,000 Boers left the two Boer republics, of which 2,000 were stranded in Portuguese Mozambique, 1,000 went to Namibia, and another 4,000 went to German East Africa, mainly women and children.

The size of a few thousand people is spread over millions of square kilometers of land, what is the result? Thousands of Boer immigrants are scattered in family units, so the final result is naturally nothing but to live well. At least for now.

As time passed, the Boers' preparations for war were perfected, and their diplomatic conflict with the British intensified. Thankfully, the British despised the Boers, believing that in the face of these unorganized landlords, the British Empire's Army could easily reduce the two Boer republics to ashes with a single brigade. Who is Lao Tzu, Napoleon knows, right? Isn't that a powerful lord also defeated Waterloo? (Author: And then Waterloo was beaten by the British?) ）

Well, in any case, the British thought that it was a matter of minutes to get their opponents, and as in history, the British paid a heavy price in the Boer War, and the British Army was criticized for being inappropriate. Unlike history, even after the end of the Boer War, the Boers were still on the same page as the British!

The Boer War, which shocked the world, was approaching step by step, but during this time, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was far away in Berlin, did not have the time to do these things, because Kaiser Frederick III had died! Wilhelm II came to power! Bismarck, Germany's iron-blooded chancellor, eventually left politics due to age and health. A series of changes in German politics have made it impossible for His Royal Highness to distract himself at all.

When the time came to November 1898, shortly after Wilhelm II ascended the throne, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was about to return to Bavaria, received a royal invitation from Prince Heinrich himself. "It's high enough. Wilhelm II's handwritten letter, and a prince sent it. The prince said after looking at the seal with the royal seal on it. Then he opened the letter and read it.

"Nicholas II is not gone yet?" Considering that the relationship between Germany and Russia in this plane is relatively close, the new emperor Wilhelm II ascended the throne, and he is also a relative of the Russian emperor, it is also very understandable that the Russian emperor will visit. The only thing that is incomprehensible, you are done, just flash people! What does it have to do with me? We're already friends, okay?
