"Humph! This bastard dares to threaten us, it's just tired and crooked! After Andrei left, Surile scolded loudly. It is a great shame that the empire is the most powerful country in the world, but it is threatened by a nation with a population of only 1.5 million! If he could, he would have pulled out his gun and killed Andre.

Major General Song Jian and Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua's faces were not very good, after all, the Boers were threatening the lives of thousands of their compatriots. Although the empire has a population of 600 million, thousands of people are only a small fraction of these 600 million people. However, if this matter is known in China, it will also cause an uproar. After all, the duty of the Empire* army is to defend the interests of the Empire and protect the people of the Empire.

"General Song, why don't we send a telegram to the country for instructions, what should we do if those damned Boers really mess around?" Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua said with a frown. Thousands of people were captured by the Boers, and it was a remiss on his duty, and if he had been traced, he would have been unable to eat and walk. Therefore, he did not want to see so many of his compatriots killed and wounded.

"Hmmm! I immediately sent a telegram to the General Staff asking for their opinion! Major General Song Jian nodded. He also felt very aggrieved, and the little Boers dared to threaten them, and they were simply impatient. If you don't give them a little color, they will really underestimate it.

While the Reich* army was still waiting for orders from the General Staff, Andrei had already returned to the command of the Boers.

"Andrey, what do the Chinese say?" Martinas. Pretorius asked. Andrei's depressed and terrifying look made him feel bad in his heart.

"Your Excellency. The talks collapsed, and those Chinese refused our demands. And claimed. If the Chinese captured by us were killed or wounded, they would have destroyed the entire Boers! Andrei whispered.

"What? What the hell is going on? How so? "Martinas. Pretorius jumped at once. I almost couldn't believe it. After all, he didn't want to fight a war with the Chinese that affected the survival of the entire nation. Once the Chinese do their best, the Boers are no match for the Chinese at all. If nothing else, as long as the Chinese sent one or two more cavalry armies to South Africa, the Boers had no chance of victory. He hoped that even if this uprising failed, the Chinese would not pursue too much except their leaders. However, I didn't expect Andrei to bring back such a result. Isn't this pushing the entire Boers to a dead end? If that's the case, then they really have no way out. If the battle is lost, it means that the entire Boer nation will be killed. Although Africa is large, there is no hiding place for the Boers, which has to be said to be an extremely sad thing.

Andrei did not dare to hide it, and explained the entire negotiation process and discernment. Now, he is not thinking about how to expand his influence and how to replace Martinas. Pretorius too. Twenty thought about how to get through this difficult time.

"Humph! Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys are really arrogant. If a Chinese dies, it will cost those thousand Boers to accompany the burial, and they are too arrogant and unreasonable, right? Could it be that the lives of the Chinese are worth more than our Boers? "Martinas. Pretorius was furious. A few decades ago, the Chinese were not barbarians at the mercy of Westerners. Now it has completely changed, which makes him very jealous.

"Your Excellency, I think. One thing to remind you of! General Joubert said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Martinas. Pretorius asked. He knows that at this critical juncture. General Joubert will certainly not talk nonsense. After all, General Joubert was the most warlike of the Boer generals.

"From the uprising to the present. I am afraid that the number of Chinese killed by us has exceeded a thousand. If you convert it to the ratio of the Chinese, then we Boers will have to die millions of people! General Joubert said. At the time of the Boer uprising, many mines and gathering points of the Chinese were captured. Although most of the Chinese retreated, a small number did not have time to evacuate, and many were killed in the battle. In addition, when the Chinese withdrew to Cape Town, the Boer army launched a pursuit, killing many Chinese in the process. That is, if the Chinese really want to exchange one Chinese for a thousand Boers, then the entire Boer nation will lose it.

Martinas. Pretorius Ouston's eyes widened, and the entire Boer was about one and a half million people. Killed by the Chinese for a million, then, can this nation continue? This is obviously unlikely.

"Damn the Chinese, are they going to commit genocide?" Martinas. Pretorius said angrily, and at the same time, a deep fear flashed in his eyes. If the Chinese really want to commit genocide against the Boers, they have nothing to do. The Boers are descendants of the Dutch, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands has long since perished, and no one will stand up for them. As for the Germans, although they supported the Boers in the early days. However, Martinas. Pretorius knew that the Germans were merely pawns. If the Chinese were determined to destroy the Boers, the Germans would certainly not stand up to help the Boers. Perhaps, the Germans will stand by and watch from the sidelines. Then wait until the Chinese destroy the Boers, and then preach in Europe to unite more Europeans against the Chinese.

At the thought of this, Martinas. Pretorius felt a chill all over his body, as if he were in an ice cellar.

"Your Excellency, there is no other way but to fight to the death with the Chinese. If we can defeat the Chinese* army that entered South Africa, we may still have a chance. As long as we hold out until the war between the Chinese and the Germans breaks out, the Chinese will not invest more troops in South Africa, and we will be able to continue to gain a foothold in South Africa even if we cannot win independence. Once the world war is over, if the Chinese are defeated, they will no longer be able to pose a threat to us! General Joubert said.

"That's right, for the sake of our nation, we must fight to the death!" Martinas. Pretorius nodded.

"General Joubert, the army in the rear is coming, and the battle at the front is left to you! I will return to Pretoria. "Martinas. Pretorius said. He needed to go back and prepare, because if the army at the front did not succeed, the Boers would have to make another great migration. The target of the migration is the harsher interior of Africa. Only in this way can the survival of the nation be guaranteed.

"Yes, Your Excellency, rest assured, I will do everything in my power to win!" General Joubert assured.

Early the next morning, Martinas. Pretorius left the front line and returned to Pretoria, ready to be rear. At the same time, a large number of Boer troops were rushing to the front. Although, these armies are made up of farmers and miners whose targets have just laid down their farming tools. However, in order to defend their homeland, the morale of these Boer troops was high. The government had promised them that as long as the Chinese were removed, all of South Africa would be Boer territory, and each and every one of them would be able to profit from it.

So, the Boers are crazy, they want to drive out the Chinese and then live a good life. Although South Africa is rich, if the Chinese oppress them, they will not have a good life. Only by driving out the Chinese will there be hope.

Inside Cape Town, the Chinese* army is also making final preparations before the war. At the same time, they are also waiting for orders from within the country.

On August 2, 1862, the 7th and 8th Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army received an order from the General Staff, and the Chief of the General Staff, General Liu Zhongming, ordered the Imperial Cavalry and the Imperial Army units in South Africa to do their best to suppress the Boer rebellion. As for the captured Chinese, we must also do our best to rescue them. If the captured Chinese are killed, then the ratio of one Chinese for one thousand Boers is strictly enforced, and the Boers pay their blood debts.

Such an order made Major General Song Jian, Major General Su Rile and Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua very excited. It means that they don't have to worry about anything, and they don't have to fear that the Boers will threaten them with those compatriots. In this way, their battle plans will not be affected.

It is said that the imperial emperor Long Yufei was very satisfied with their claim that one Chinese is worth a thousand Boers. The Chinese Empire has now become the world's largest power, so the lives of Chinese people are naturally much more valuable than others. Don't you see the air crash in the afterlife, and the compensation of the Chinese is only one-tenth of that of foreigners?

The 7th and 8th Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army moved quickly, and after more than half a month of rest, the cavalry had recovered their body and energy, and gradually adapted to the climate of South Africa. Next, it's time for them to go to war.

The 7th and 8th Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army would be the main force attacking the Boers, while the reserve 135th Brigade and militia could only play a supporting role.

At the same time, the army gathered by the Boers was already more than 100,000 people, and it can be said that all the main forces of the Boers were gathered here. And, almost all of them are cavalry.

The two sides will have a great cavalry duel on the vast plains of South Africa. (To be continued......)
