Chapter 1297: Eswatini
Eswatini, Mbabane. Fastest updates
King Teramani of Eswatini was now anxiously walking back and forth in the room, and on the table was a letter from Transvaal President Martinas.
Eswatini has always remained neutral in the wars of African countries, and almost never participates in wars, because among the various forces, Eswatini is very weak, far less powerful than the inevitable Zulus, not as strong as the Boers, and to the north, Mozambique, controlled by the Portuguese, Eswatini can only hold this small piece of land, and it is precisely because of their neutrality that several other forces are unwilling to provoke Eswatini.
Just a few days ago, the German-Austrian Federal Republic agreed to the Transvaal and Orange, and a more powerful state was established, and within a few days, the German-Austrian Federation sent a credential asking Eswatini to stand on its side in the future war between the Zulu Kingdom and the German-Austrian Federation.
At about the same time, the credentials of the Zulu Kingdom arrived, also offering to let Eswatini take their side.
However, the requirements of the two sides are different.
The Zulu Kingdom directly asked Eswatini to send troops in the war and launch an attack on the German-Austrian Federation together with the Zulu Kingdom, and the Zulu Kingdom will fully protect Eswatini's security in the future, because the Zulu Kingdom now stands behind the world's most powerful British Empire!
Because now that he has found a big backer, the king of the Zulu Kingdom, Mo Panda, has become arrogant step by step, thinking that the losses around him, no one is his opponent anymore, and he issued instructions to Eswatini with arrogance, such an attitude makes the King of Transmani very unhappy, but no matter how unhappy, Eswatini cannot provoke the Zulu Kingdom, after all, Eswatini has a total population of only hundreds of thousands, while the population of the Zulu Kingdom is four or five million, and the national strength is far greater than that of Eswatini!
As for Martinas's request, it was much milder, Martinas also pushed out the forces behind him, which was the Chinese Empire that had risen abruptly in recent years, and it was also extremely powerful, and in several years of war, it had repeatedly made Britain and France return home!
Martinas has only one request, that is, to ask Eswatini to allow the German-Austrian Federal Army to transit through Eswatini, and the army will pass through Eswatini, and then the army will advance eastward, approaching Bangkok Qi on the east coast of Africa, and then wave all the way south from Bangkok, the army will capture Richard's Bay under the control of the Zulu Kingdom one after another, and even Durban will be taken by the German-Austrian Federal Army!
Moreover, Martinas promised that once the German-Austrian Federal Army successfully defeated the Zulu Kingdom in this war and occupied the northern part of the Zulu Kingdom, the German-Austrian Federal Republic would cede to Eswatini more than 3,000 square kilometers of land due east of Eswatini parallel to Eswatini.
King Terumani is naturally clear, that will mean that the Kingdom of Eswatini will get the coveted access to the sea, once it has access to the sea, establish a seaport, the Kingdom of Eswatini will quickly become strong, Eswatini's resources can be exported to Europe or Asia!
Moreover, this does not require Eswatini to send a single soldier, Eswatini only needs to hide the whereabouts of the German and Austrian Federal Army behind the back, and at the same time provide the corresponding food and other materials for the German and Austrian Federal Army, which is definitely a good deal!
What about the Boers, the Dramani is not particularly clear, but the Zulu people are very savage, who dares to guarantee that after defeating the German-Austrian federal army, the Zulu Kingdom will not piggyback on the foot and annex the Kingdom of Eswatini? It's not that there is no such possibility, cooperating with the Zulu people is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger!
But with the Franco-Austrian Federal Republic? Dremani is now also worried that once the Zulu Kingdom is defeated, the British behind it will jump out, the British Empire is powerful, it is known to the world, no country can compete with the British Empire in the world, the British Empire is too strong, the sun never sets on the empire!
King Teramani is also a little difficult to choose now, or remain neutral as before? First, now that the two countries are in tension and a big war is imminent, Eswatini will definitely not remain neutral as before; Second, to give the land east of Eswatini to Eswatini, this is a big temptation, if you let Eswatini grab it yourself, even if it is two hundred years on board, Eswatini will definitely not have any chance!
Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again!
Deranmani has been thinking about it for half a month, and he has not made up his mind, and now it is time to make up his mind!
"Dobini! You reply to the envoy of the German-Austrian Federation on my behalf, we are willing to facilitate the German-Austrian Federation Army, and guarantee the safety of the marching route for them, and ensure that the weapons and weights of the German-Austrian Federation Army can be smoothly transported to the front line in the future, but I hope to be able to sign a secret agreement with their country to ensure future interests, we need to get the land of Eswatini in the east, from Bangkok Qi in the north to Sibay Lake in the south! ”
Dramani said in a deep voice.
Dobini is the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Eswatini, very powerful, and is also Terimani's most trusted favorite.
Dobini was secretly happy when he heard this, he had already received a lot of benefits from the German-Austrian Federation, and the German-Austrian Federal Finance Minister Rodman gave Dobini five hundred ounces of gold and three thousand ounces of silver in one breath, which is a huge wealth, in a small country like Eswatini, with such a fortune, it can be said that he is the richest man in the country, these days, Dobini has not less in front of Deranmani.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the envoys of the German and Austrian Federal Republic have promised their ministers more than once that once the war is won, they will definitely give us this land, and they are also willing to sign a contract to ensure the interests of both parties."
Dobini said quickly.
"That's good!"
Deranmani said in a deep voice: "This matter is very important, you personally handle it, in the south of Eswatini, provide a road for the German and Austrian federal army, remember, we must keep the news tightly sealed, once the news leaks in advance, we will face the thunderous wrath of the Zulu Kingdom and the British Empire, that is the disaster of the country!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured, all those who handle this matter are the minister's henchmen, and they will never leak any rumors! Tonight, I will make an appointment to meet with the envoys of the German-Austrian Federation, within three days, the treaty can be signed, and now the cavalry of the German-Austrian Federation has passed through the border between our two countries, as long as the treaty is signed, they will act immediately, more than 7,000 cavalry, 8,000 infantry, all enter the Zulu Kingdom, hehe, enough for the Zulu Kingdom to drink a pot! ”
