[Explain one thing in advance, history has changed, don't substitute real history when reading novels]

On the one hand, the Chinese Empire kept the Chinese Empire's strict secrets, and it was difficult for specific information to be leaked, and on the other hand, Western countries would not care even if they heard any rumors, and it was impossible for the Chinese Empire to build a 10,000-ton giant ship, which was unrealistic. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the successful launch of the battleship "Qin Shi Huang", it began to speed up outfitting and complete the construction of the "Qin Shi Huang" battleship as soon as possible, and when the battleship "Qin Shi Huang" officially entered service with the imperial navy, the empire will hold a grand battleship commissioning ceremony and invite foreign people to participate, so that Western countries can see the achievements of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire can build the "Qin Shi Huang" battleship, which means that the Chinese Empire can completely get rid of the name of a weak naval country.

After Yan Xueyi watched the battleship "Qin Shi Huang", he returned to the Dragon City Palace, and the Ministry of Intelligence handed over an update on the current events between the Transvaal Republic and the United Kingdom.

In April, Sir Alfred Milner, Prime Minister of the British Cape Colony, instructed the British expatriates of the Transvaal to write a letter of grievance to Queen Victoria, asking her to protect the interests of her British subjects.

Last month, Sir Milner and President of the Transvaal Republic, Kruger, held their last talks in Bloemfontein on the protection of aliens, but the British side was also seizing time to send troops from overseas to South Africa as war was about to break out.

There is a stark contrast between one side of the war, a small regional country, and the other a world power.

The situation of the Transvaal Republic has attracted wide attention in the Western world, and many people have launched a campaign of sympathy and solidarity with the Transvaal Republic, the Netherlands and Belgium have formed numerous civil society groups, solicited donations, published articles, established foundations, donated wartime mobile hospitals and medical equipment to the Transvaal Republic, and thousands of volunteers from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, the United States, Russia, Ireland, Italy and Scandinavia countries have crossed the ocean to the Transvaal Republic to fight side by side with the Boers.

The majority of the Transvaal Republic is the Boers, which are a mixed ethnic group of Dutch, French, and white Germans living in South Africa, which is why the Transvaal Republic is helped by a large number of groups in Western countries.

During the three years of British rule in the Transvaal, instead of improving the living conditions of the middle and lower classes of the Boers, they did not increase investment and improve the local financial, economic and political life, but allowed British merchants to speculate on land and collect back taxes previously owed to the Transvaal Republic, causing widespread discontent among the Boer people.

The Boers rebelled against the British under the leadership of Paul Krueger, Piette Joubert and Pretorius the Younger, which was the First Boer War, in which the British won fewer victories and lost more than they lost, and finally on March 6, 1881, the British and the Transvaal army signed an armistice, and on August 3, the two sides signed the Pretoria Agreement.

The agreement guaranteed that the Transvaal could establish a fully autonomous government under the suzerainty of the British Queen, and that Britain would retain three prerogatives: control of the Transvaal's foreign relations; maintaining control over the Transvaal's relations with African tribes; In wartime, the British had the right to borrow the Moral Lanzvaal.

The matter was settled for the time being, but the contradictions between the Boers and the British were planted.

In 1884, prospectors discovered the world's largest Witwatersrand gold mine on a remote pasture between Pretoria and the Vaal River in the Transvaal.

Shortly after the defeat of the British, French, Russian, and Japanese forces of the Chinese Empire in 1888, the Transvaal government declared that foreign nationals residing in the country were required to pay full taxes, but were not entitled to participate in presidential and legislative elections, unless they had lived in the Transvaal for 14 years and were naturalized, and all aliens were not allowed to hold government office, and their children could not attend government-funded schools.

However, this law was protested by the British, as the Transvaal's expatriates were mostly British, and tensions between the Transvaal and the British were exacerbated by the trade war and tariff barriers between the Transvaal and the British colonies of British South Africa, as well as the Transvaal's high taxes and economic restrictions on British mining companies in the country.

In 1890, Joseph Chamberlain became the British Colonial Secretary, and the mining magnate Cecil Rhodes became the Prime Minister of the British Cape Colony, and on December 28 of the same year, Rhodes's friend Jensen, a senior employee of the South African Mining Company, led 500 South African company policemen and several machine guns to attempt an expedition to the Transvaal to overthrow Paul Kruger's regime in the Transvaal.

After the Janssen expedition, Kaiser Wilhelm II sent a telegram congratulating the Transvaal President Paul Kruger, which further deteriorated Anglo-German relations and determined Britain to resolve the dispute with the Transvaal by force.

As a result, the Transvaal Republic and Britain are in the current situation, the British are stepping up the transfer of troops from all over the world to South Africa, and the Transvaal Republic is also expanding its military power to guard against the British, and war may break out at any time.

For the British, the Transvaal Republic is just a very weak country, and the British dare not go to war with the Chinese Empire with air force superiority, but it does not mean that Britain can be insulted by such a small country as the Transvaal Republic, and the British can easily eliminate the Transvaal Republic with such an effect, but the British also thought of the first Boer War, and the British decided to mobilize more forces to conquer the Transvaal Republic in one fell swoop.

What happened to the Transvaal caused some groups in the Western world to help the Transvaal, and in fact the Chinese Empire was also secretly helping the Transvaal Republic.

Because Yan Xueyi, the Ministry of Intelligence of the Chinese Empire has been paying attention to the situation of the Transvaal Republic, Yan Xueyi expected that the war between the Transvaal Republic and Britain would break out, which was obviously an opportunity to weaken Britain's strength, so the Chinese Empire secretly aided the Transvaal Republic, the magic weapon of small countries against big countries - "Guerrilla Warfare", and a large number of Western-made weapons secretly stored in the territory of the Transvaal Republic, which can enhance the military strength of the Transvaal Republic.

If the whole of the Transvaal Republic were to be soldiers, it would certainly be a heavy blow to the British.
