[I don't know how long this book can be written, Heng Yi will write down the general plot in dozens of chapters]

Spain's two best colonies, the Philippines and Cuba, were divided between the Chinese Empire and the United States, and the rest of the Western countries did not get the slightest benefit, and Spain obtained four new battleships and more than 10,000 battleships below 10,000 tons from the Chinese Empire and the United States after paying these two colonies, which enabled Spain to have a navy that was not weak, and when this navy was completed, Spain's voice in the world would be improved to a certain extent, and it would also have the strength to protect its remaining colonies.

Britain did not gain anything from this incident, and when the incident was over, the British government turned all its attention to South Africa, and the Boer War was already too much for Britain to bear.

In South Africa, in order to deal with the Boer guerrillas, Kitchener ordered 136,000 Boer women, children, and the elderly, as well as more than 80,000 black servants, to be taken from burned farms, transported together in open-top wagons or ox carts, and imprisoned in concentration camps.

The concentration camps were extremely densely populated, with a shortage of tents, blankets, clothing, and medicine, plague, malnutrition, and a very high mortality rate, which was 40.1 per cent in the white concentration camps in Orange. The high mortality rate in the concentration camps seriously demoralized the Boer soldiers, and at the same time made the image of the British plummet in front of the whole world.

Emily Hobhouse, an Englishwoman, was shocked by the conditions in the camps and submitted a 15-page report describing the horrific conditions in the camps, but Hobhouse was declared an "enemy of the fatherland" by the British government and immediately arrested and deported.

Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and the United States sent inspectors, European and American countries donated large quantities of supplies to the civilians in the concentration camps, and under strong pressure from international and domestic public opinion, the British Parliament had to send a mission to South Africa.

The Boer War was protracted, both sides were exhausted, and the attacks and accusations against Britain by European countries became increasingly fierce, and Britain paid a huge price for winning the war.

In this war, Britain mobilized 450,000 troops, of which 256,000 were British regular troops, 109,000 were British volunteers, 53,000 were British colonial troops in South Africa, and 31,000 were from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Britain transported a total of 380,000 troops to South Africa by sea, in addition to 350,000 horses, 100,000 mules, 1.34 million tons of military equipment and other supplies, and 1,027 ships.

A total of 2,344 officers and 41,740 soldiers of the British, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian troops who participated in the war were killed, and the military expenditure was as high as 370 million pounds, or 1.663 billion US dollars or 11.1 billion Chinese dollars, and the British national product was only 1.67 billion pounds in the eight years of Xinghua.

Britain paid a huge price, the Boers also paid a huge price to resist the British, a total of 88,000 people participated in the battle, including 43,000 Transvaals, 30,000 Orange, the total population of these two countries is only 440,000, so almost all the young men and women are fighting, in addition to 13,000 Boers in the Cape colony, and 2,000 foreign volunteers.

By the end of the ninth year of Xinghua, a total of 3,700 Boers had been killed, 31,000 had been taken prisoner, 20,000 had surrendered, more than 10,000 had been exiled to German Southwest Africa and Mozambique, and the number of Boers still fighting had been reduced to 22,000.

On the other hand, there were also many Boer civilians who died in the camps, with a total of 27,927 people, including 1,676 elderly people, 4,177 women and 22,074 children.

At such a high cost, the war was already unbearable for both the British and the Boers, and secret negotiations between the two sides had already begun, but they had never been negotiated.

In November of the ninth year of Xinghua, Britain and Burkina began to formally hold peace talks, and the key to the negotiations was the issue of the independence of the Boers, and the second was the issue of dealing with Africans (the core was the suffrage of Africans).

On 15 December, Boer representatives representing the two Boer Republics, 32 local militia groups and 165 guerrilla units met in Frenikhin to discuss the future of peace, and on 27 December Lord Milner came to Frenikhin to meet with the Boer representative, General Spo, Spodzi.

During the meeting, Milner set out twelve conditions for peace talks: 1. The Boer field troops and armed citizens lay down their arms, surrender all guns and war materiel in their possession or control, put an end to any attempt to continue resistance to the government of His Majesty King Edward VII, and recognize His Majesty as .......their legitimate sovereign;

On 30 December, 60 Boer delegates voted on whether to renounce the maintenance of independence, and the result was a vote of 54 to 6 to accept the first crucial clause of the peace treaty.

At the end of the day, the Anglo-Boer and Burundi sides formally signed a peace treaty at Frinishin, ending the 26-month Anglo-Borang War.

The Second Boer War finally ended, and with the fall of the independent Transvaal and Orange states, all the Boers in South Africa became British subjects, and the British united the colonies of southern Africa and controlled the corridor to the Great Lakes region of the heart of Africa, and the Cape of Good Hope region became one of the most important outposts of the British overseas empire with the vast interior of South Africa as its back.

With the world's largest Rand gold mine under British control, the British were able to control the lifeblood of the global economy, and gold from South Africa would quickly make London a global financial and gold trading hub.

The Second Anglo-Boer War also marked the end of Britain's history of overseas expansion, and British politicians found it economically and strategically unfeasible to defend both the British Empire's overseas possessions and the British mainland because of the high cost of war.

The Boer War caused great changes within the British Empire, and the high war expenses made it impossible for Britain to maintain the imperial system at a huge cost, and even Chamberlain, the colonial minister who had always been enthusiastic about the cause of imperial colonization, lamented after the war that "this is a burden".

Of course, because of the covert action of the Chinese Empire, the British paid a much greater price in the Boer War than the string of numbers in Yan Xueyi's mind.
