The British once again called for war mediation, and at the same time, political leaders from all over the world expressed concern about the war, after all, these are two huge empires, and if they fight together, how many people will die

However, this time, the British did not dare to make random demands, as for the prisoners of Tsarist Russia, you love to let go, we have only one demand, that is, an armistice

This time, Guo Ye didn't refuse the British again, he had already slapped his face once, and he couldn't always fan it

Half a month later, the Chinese Empire and Tsarist Russia invited Britain, France, Prussia, Italy, and the United States to start peace talks in Beijing

The real protagonists are still the Chinese Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire, and other countries, at most, are just having a good time, beating drums on the side.

However, the Sino-Russian negotiations have not yet officially begun, and South Africa is once again in the midst of war

Unlike Prussia and France, these two countries are both powerful countries, once a war starts, it will determine the national fortunes of the next few decades or even hundreds of years, before there are enough to take me, no one wants to rush to war, small fights can be, all-out war, that requires courage.

The Federal Republic of Germany and Austria is different from the Zulu Kingdom, the two countries together, the population is only a few million, even if they want to compete for regional hegemony, they do not have enough strength, as long as these countries have the big powers behind them to support them, in a short period of time, they can rise rapidly, once the external forces suddenly withdraw, it will quickly decline.

Whether it is the Boers or the Zulus, after receiving a lot of assistance from the Chinese Empire and the British Empire, their strength has increased greatly, and they naturally rise to the top, thinking that as long as they start a war, they can quickly defeat their opponents, so as to get rid of the hidden dangers around them.

Originally, with the increase in strength, now the Zulus and the Boers have been constantly clashing on the border between the two countries, but they are not willing to start a large-scale war, but now, the British Empire directly issued an order, requiring the Zulus to launch an attack on the German and Austrian Federal Republic and drive all the Boers out of South Africa

In this way, the Zulu Kingdom, strongly instigated by the British, gathered an army of 50,000 and launched an offensive from the west of the kingdom towards the German-Austrian Federation, and the two countries officially declared war

Pretoria, the capital of the German-Austrian Federal Republic, the Presidential Palace.

Martinas held the telegram from the front in his hand, his face sank like water, and finally the war began, damn the Zulus, this stumbling block should have been killed a long time ago

General Kryuger, Mr. Minister, you already know the contents of the telegram, the Zulu army has begun to advance towards the territory, 50,000 troops are advancing towards New Castle, and it will not be long before it will enter the territory of the German and Austrian Federal Republic

Kryugel sneered: Martinas, don't worry, even if they have an army of 50,000 people, what if we don't have an army, after half a year of integration, we have completed the integration of the German-Austrian Federal Republicans, a full two divisions plus a Guards Brigade, seven brigades, all equipped with new equipment, and we have a reserve division behind us, together the strength is not much weaker than the Zulu Kingdom, if they want to go to war, then come, we must let them have a good memory

Kryuger, don't be too proud, although we have made great progress with the help of Minister General Jiang Shenghua, but now the Zulus have also received a lot of equipment from the British, and these days, a large number of arms transported from Durban have been equipped with the Zulu army, and we must be cautious

Martinas brows with a hint of hesitation, after all, this is completely different from half a year ago, and now the support of the British for the Zulu Kingdom is becoming more and more obvious, and if it really starts, it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

Mr. President, don't you worry, two months ago, we have already drawn up a strict battle plan, according to the original plan, the deployment of two infantry brigades, two heavy machine gun battalions, and three artillery battalions of the First Division in Essomolo is enough to keep the main force of the Zulu Kingdom out of the city of Essomolo As for Dundee, where only the strength of an infantry regiment is needed to make it as stable as Tarzan Kalius, Essomolok will be handed over to your first division, and the frontal position will be held to me to the death

Jiang Shenghua shouted in a deep voice.

The commander of the first division, Kalius, nodded with a big grin and replied: "Mr. Minister, rest assured, with our first division, nothing goes wrong, not to mention, we still have General Fang Huasheng by our side to help us."

Jiang Shenghua smiled and said: As long as the frontal battlefield is not broken through by the enemy, the rest of the things will be much easier. As for the tactics of long-distance running, that is Lao Zhang's forte, how about Lao Zhang's battle, can he give the German-Austrian Federation an outlet to the sea

Zhang Hexiang on the side said with a smile: Two cavalry brigades, enough, these troops are even enough for me to go straight to Huanglong and knock down the capital of the Zulus, at most a month, we will definitely take Richard's Bay

This one

Martinas was still a little uneasy and hesitant.

Mr. President, if you are too timid to be a general for the future of the Boers, we will have to take a chance

Jiang Shenghua replied lightly.

It's just that, Mr. Minister, we only have the strength of one division, and we can really withstand the attack of so many troops of the other side, you must know that now the Zulus are no longer armed with spears and bows and arrows, but muskets and even artillery

Martinas hesitated.

Jiang Shenghua said with a smile: Mr. President, it is very simple, although the British equipped the Zulu army with a large number of firearms, however, it must be used by the Zulus, they are not Boers, they have been familiar with the use of firearms as early as a hundred years ago, whether it is muskets or artillery, it is the same; But the Zulu people are different, they are primitive people again, the most primitive barbarian tribes, they don't understand the use of firearms at all, let them throw away their bows and arrows, and use muskets and artillery instead, without half a year or even more than a year of training, they are absolutely incapable of fighting power, and their artillery and muskets are also eliminated by the British, that is, musket artillery, which has limited power. As long as our 1st Division holds its ground and resists by means of fortifications, even if they are outnumbered, they will not be able to break through our defenses in a short time, and I will have them in Esomolo to break their heads

To be continued.
