The freighter "Africa Justice", which is owned by Elijah Shipping Company, flying the "two crown flags", slowly sailed through the Suez Canal, refueled in the French colonial port of Djibouti, and began to sail to its final destination, the port of Dar es Salaam in German East Africa. It will not call at any ports for the remainder of the voyage.

They needed to bypass the British blockade before going to war.

Time was of the essence for Colonel Bolojevich and Lieutenant Colonel Mayer, and soon the British would march on the Transvaal in three directions, and it seemed that the shape of the Boers was in jeopardy. The "Justice of Africa" carried more than 1,200 volunteers recruited from the Netherlands and Belgium for the Boers from the Grand Duke of Istria and were to lead the team to fight the British. There were also 150,000 rifles, 400 Maxim machine guns, and 300 artillery pieces, which they also needed to sell for diamonds and gold.

"I don't understand why the Grand Duke would choose to go against the British?" Bolojevic said.

"It's just a business, a business that's profitable enough." Mayer smiled, "Just like you did in Abyssinia, you sold a total of 230,000 rifles, as well as machine guns and cannons for the Duke that time. How much reward did the Duke give you? ”

"Well, it's 500,000 kroner." Bolojevic hesitated and said that Mayer had been in charge of the transportation of goods during the Abyssinian War, and he could probably guess the amount.

"That's right, 500,000 kroner, that's a very small fraction of the profit. The arms business is always the most profitable industry, and some people don't even want their lives for it. And Islaia Corporation is not much of a risk, and behind it stands a powerful empire. "In addition, there is the hostility that the Grand Duke has always had towards the British." ”

"It is also strange to me that the Grand Duke has never expressed a good opinion of the British." Bolojevic said.

"Perhaps...... It's because they're so powerful, so powerful that people feel jealous and resentful. Mayer said.

"This is supposed to be a difficult task, and the British are much more difficult to deal with than the Italians."

"We will also get follow-up reinforcements, and as long as the Boers are willing to pay, there will be a steady stream of Dutch sent to Africa, which is enough to give the British a headache." Mayer said.

"Guerrilla warfare? I never understood that abandoning those important towns could mean losing the war. ”

"As I understand it, this is a kind of sabotage, not allowing the enemy to gain benefits and possibly abandoning the war because it is impossible to afford huge losses." Mayer said, "As for what kind of tactics it is, only by slowly understanding and applying it is the purpose of the Grand Duke sending us." ”

"Will the Boers listen to us?" "It's hard. ”

"Yes, but we might be able to set a model for them." "As long as we get some results, they'll learn quickly." ”

This had to be quickened, and in Transylvania the tide of war had quickly advanced to the point where the country had entered a crucial and critical period, and the ongoing war between the Boers and the British seemed to be quickly decided, leaving them with little time left...... Even, it's almost over.

They think so, in fact, the war that has just broken out will continue for another three years.

The British snatched Cape Town from the Dutch during the Napoleonic Wars, and the descendants of the Dutch colonists living in Cape Town were forced to move north because they could not bear the oppression and oppression of the British, and fought against the indigenous Africans along the way, eventually establishing three Boer states in southern Africa. Of course, the descendants of the Dutch call themselves "South African", and the orange stripe on the flag symbolizing the Dutch family of Orange indicates that their ancestors were Dutch.

These were the Transvaal Republic, the Republic of Natalia, and the Orange Free State, which were founded by Dutch immigrants.

During the First Boer War, the defeated British recognized the independence of the Transvaal and Orange, and the Boer state, which lived in a desolate barren land, was not worth the British Empire's struggle, and poverty and desolation had fortunate to preserve the two countries.

But the discovery of enormous wealth made the British jealous.

Just a few months after the Transvaal signed the London Accord recognizing their independence with Great Britain, two prospecting engineers discovered the world's largest gold mine, the Westwater Rand, produced 40 percent of the world's gold each year, in a barren pasture between the Transvaal's capital, Pretoria, and the Vaal River Valley.

The greed for wealth led the British to finally tear up the London Agreement, and in 18.95, Joseph Chamberlain, who openly declared that he wanted to pursue a colonial policy in South Africa, became the British colonial minister, and Cecil Rhodes, who was constantly at odds with the Transvaal government, became prime minister of the Cape of Good Hope colony. The coming to power of these two men made it seem as if the British expatriates in Johannesburg had seen the light of light from the Cape of Good Hope and London, and were ready to use force to obtain what they could not obtain by war of words.

In 18.97, the British sent a fanatical colonialist named Alfred . Milner served as commissioner for South Africa, and their troika of conquest of the Boer state: Chamberlain-Milner-Rhodes had been set, and war was inevitable. At the same time, Devasland was also stepping up its war readiness, and it was at this time that Islaya weapons began to be delivered to the Boers in South Africa.

Milner took office by declaring that the British had never agreed to the independence of the Transvaal, that it was still a colony of the British Empire, and declared that he would take back the autonomy of the Boers.

This is the equivalent of a declaration of war.

Rhodes ran between London and Berlin in exchange for Wilhelm II's acquiescence to British action in South Africa on the terms of British support for Germany's purchase of Spanish colonies and the construction of the Baghdad Railway. Wilhelm II was bewitched, and the British threw out the idea of an Anglo-German alliance, which was only an idea, but the German emperor abandoned the Boers and did not hesitate to offend the Russians.

This was how the war in South Africa began, as we entered the twentieth century.

Now, Dar es Salaam has arrived.

Colonel Boloyevich and Lieutenant Colonel Mayer had to lead their "volunteers" to a week's delay here, the port equipment was so poor that the "African Justice" had to dock for a long time to unload.

According to the plan, they would first have to transport the goods by road to Machenki, near Lake Nyasa, where Lehedon had received large tracts of land from William II to develop rubber, sisal, peanut and cotton plantations, nominally in the name of Princess Irene.

These weapons will be exchanged for a large amount of diamonds and gold, and the "volunteer army" led by Bolojevic will also be based in Mahenki's Erin Manor for adaptation training.

At the right time, they would pass through Rhodesia and into Dewasland.
