Since Britain and Europe were in a state of war, the proud navy of the British Empire naturally did not sit idle, but began to blockade the merchant ships of Spain, Germany, and Italy in the Atlantic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe advantage of the British is that the British Royal Navy is a little stronger than the three countries combined.

Italy and Germany were still able to connect with the colonies through the Mediterranean, but the Spanish colonies, which were now in decline, were all in the Americas, and soon could not stand the naval blockade of the British. In view of the defeat of the army in Africa, Spain simply conceded defeat and negotiated with Britain, and some treaties of reparations and the like were still acceptable to the Spanish crown. It would be nice to leave Spain with the last colony of Cuba.

Fortunately, the British had enough colonies, and the interest in Cuba was really not so great, and under the fire of the concubines, Spain and the British made peace. The British did not demand a penny from the Spaniards in reparations, but returned all the Spanish troops captured in Africa - the aim of course to make Spain stronger and put some pressure on the emerging German kingdom.

If it weren't for the fact that the Qing Dynasty and Germany seemed to have worn a pair of pants, Downing Street would have wanted to support Germany and the Qing Eight Banners to fight a lose-lose situation.

In the face of the shackles of the British, of course, Germany will not sit still or sit still, but before the German navy is strong, there is really nothing to do with the British, who are the first in the world, but in the anger of the British, the British officers who were captured on the battlefield in West Africa are unlucky. An order from Berlin set the 8,000-odd British officer prisoners and 50,000 A-San prisoners on a long death march.

Former British Army Commander Randolph. Lord Churchill's ancestors were also broad, and it was a great aristocratic family that had produced a duke, but it was not a hundred days. Today's Randolph Churchill can only be regarded as a declining aristocracy in Britain, as a nobleman has a fief, but the tax income from the fief does not allow Randolph Churchill to spend lavishly. And Randolph Churchill's family has been in decline for a long time and has not inherited any property, that is, there is no annuity income.

As an English aristocrat, there are only two ways to make money, first, leave your son behind and go into business. Second, join the army. In the British aristocracy and the aristocracy in the army are all officers, and when they become officers, they have the opportunity to participate in the war, and if they participate in the war, they have the opportunity to rob. That's right, looting income in the British Army is now a legitimate and legal rule. There are even examples of soldiers of civilian origin buying titles and becoming nobles through robbery income.

To be honest, the British army in the first Opium War did not fight very well, although in the face of the already decaying Manchu Eight Banners and the Green Battalion still showed such a little combat effectiveness and the advanced nature of foreign guns and artillery, but in Sanyuan, the villagers beat the fart and urine flow of the British Army almost lost face, if it was not for the British to threaten to slaughter the city, I am afraid that the British Army will be finished in Sanyuan.

In this way, after the British Army carried out large-scale looting because of the invasion of several Chinese cities, the British Army officers and soldiers who returned to London were all carrying large bags of wealth that they had looted back, and opened one auction after another. This is why British diplomats were so tough on the renewal of the treaty before the Second Opium War - the British were looking forward to the next war of robbery and quick enrichment against China, and the appetite of the European bandits could not be satisfied by the slightest concession from the Qing court.

As an old aristocratic family with a heritage, Lord Randolph Churchill really couldn't pull his son into business. So Churchill, a young man in his twenties, gritted his teeth and borrowed money from the Jewish businessman, and spent a sum of money to join the British Army, which was expanding the colony.

That's right, Europeans and Americans have always had to sell for money, and if you don't have money, what kind of official will you be. Even if it is an order from the Prime Minister of Downing Street or a recommendation from the British king, you have to pay money to take office - in Britain only money is an eternal truth. To a certain extent, the public sale of official positions by the southern governors of the Han Chinese is also learning from Europe and the United States to a certain extent, in line with the trend of global integration in the second half of the nineteenth century.

For hundreds of years, the British have relied on selling official porridge to become the world's first empire that never sets, which shows that the advanced nature of the official porridge system in this era is undoubtedly the road to strengthening the country and enriching the people. Looking at the Ming and Qing dynasties, the end of playing the eight-share imperial examination was getting weaker and weaker, until it was overthrown by a laid-off officer and soldier.

As a result, Lord Randolph Churchill served as an officer for three years, and did not make much money, but in a major war between Nigeria and the Germans in West Africa, the servant army unit was scattered by the A3 servant army. Lord Randolph Churchill himself became a prisoner of the Germans.

In the German prisoner-of-war camps, after Lord Randolph Churchill had drunk corn and banana peel porridge for several months, all the captives had lost the spirit of the port landing in West Africa, and all of them seemed weak and mentally exhausted - the result of chronic malnutrition.

While Randolph Churchill and other aristocratic officers were stunned on the bed board calculating when the British Empire would be able to save them, the German soldiers brutally drove Churchill and other prisoners out of the prisoner of war camp, and then embarked on a death march from Nigeria to the dead port of Turkey.

The distance in a straight line may not seem so long, but because of the fact that the Sahara Desert, the world's first desert, which is not accessible in and out, it would have been necessary to take several times the road to reach the Mediterranean Mediterranean Dead Harbor that is now controlled by the Germans, which was once a French colony.

However, the Germans found a barely passable road in the desert with several oasis links, and it was indeed no problem if a small number of people were well prepared, but thousands of German troops on camels escorted tens of thousands of prisoners, each of whom carried dozens of pounds of supplies, and from the position of the prisoners, this was not considered sufficiently prepared.

But the party went on its way, marching well on the plains, always along the river, and by the afternoon of the second day, when the party of more than 60,000 men had entered the desert, a clash broke out among the captives over water.

The order received by the German troops escorting them was that they should not shoot as long as the prisoners did not flee and did not resist the Germans.

On the morning of the third day of entering the desert, after the yellow sands of the Sahara Desert naturally buried the bodies of more than 7,000 people, the troops continued to advance. On this day, more than 2,000 prisoners who had not been robbed of water yesterday or who had been robbed of water fell on the road one by one, and the guards were unable to kick the fallen prisoners, and often made up for them as fugitives. It can be regarded as a pleasure for these people.

Of course, after the rest of the day, there was another clash of water between the prisoners, and the Germans who were watching the prisoners again turned a blind eye.

Seven days after entering the desert, when the troops reached the first oasis to replenish water, there were less than 30,000 of the more than 60,000 men who had entered the desert. And after passing through this oasis, it will take three days to get to the next oasis, and another six days from the next oasis to get out of the Sahara Desert.

Lord Randolph Churchill has lost count of how many people he killed along the way, including both Ah San and the British, anyway, Randolph Churchill joined a relatively lucky water grabbing team, and everyone organized and planned sentry to cover the water grabbing, that is, to grab the water of the British and the water of Ah San. As for the Germans who kept watching them all the way, there was always water, but no one dared to rob it, not because the Germans had guns, but because the British nobles, as prisoners of war, were not supposed to rebel against the managers.

The number of British nobles who arrived at the dead port of the Turret was reduced from more than 8,000 at the time of departure to less than 3,000, and most of them fell in the Sahara Desert. The original 50,000 Ah San prisoners were even more miserable, leaving only more than 8,000 people to arrive at the dead port of Tuyi.

The dead port was not the terminal for these Anglo-Indian prisoners of war, but only a transit point, and the terminal was Warsaw. By the time they were on the road, the Germans on the outskirts of Warsaw began to build a new type of prisoner-of-war camp, or concentration camp, which would be better.

When the construction of the prisoner of war camp was halfway through, Emperor Xianfeng, who was visiting Germany, also visited here. On the camp site, Xianfeng asked a Polish worker: "What are you doing?" ”

Polish worker: "As you can see, move bricks and build houses. ”

Xianfeng asked the next Ukrainian worker: "What are you doing?" ”

Ukrainian worker: "As you can see, a job, they pay me, I give them a job so that I can take money to buy bread to feed my family." ”

Xianfeng asked the German workers: "What are you doing?" ”

German worker: "In the future, the world's most advanced concentration camp will be built here, with state-of-the-art gas multi-person bathing facilities and high-temperature crematoriums. When we're done here, we'll send all the damn Brits in. ”

Out of the construction site, Emperor Xianfeng said to the left and right: "I have often heard people say that moral will should not be humiliated, and today I will finally solve my doubts." ”
