Chapter 219: An Expeditionary Force That Never Retreats

The second more

Although the production plan of the SKS Monkey version of the rifle was squeezed out by the French department, at the insistence of Napoleon, a small-scale production was finally carried out. And these weapons created for France's overseas colonial wars were not directly requisitioned by the French side, but some were privately equipped by the French intelligence service and sent to the French expeditionary colonists.

At that time, the head of the French intelligence bureau also expressed his incomprehension of Napoleon's actions, which clearly showed that he had acted in line with the British government, but Napoleon insisted that all this was done by French volunteers and had nothing to do with the government.

In 1980, a ship heading from the west coast of France to South Africa was carrying nearly 400 "volunteers", also from various countries, to help the regime of the South African Boer de Tranvaz Republic as volunteers. The only difference was that this group of volunteers was the French Expeditionary Force, which Napoleon intervened behind the scenes and established with the help of a civilian group.

And these more than 400 volunteers were not all French, a small part of them were German volunteers, and Napoleon tried his best to create an illusion for Britain that there was a shadow of the French and German governments behind this spontaneous support from the European people.

At this time, the British had just ended the Zulu War, and the invasion of Afghanistan was still going on. Disraeli's cabinet, which had been instigated by Napoleon to start a war, was met with unanimous opposition from both inside and outside, and he collapsed amid a wave of rebuke. He had no idea that listening to Napoleon's advice would end his political career directly.

However, Britain continued to increase its troops around the world, but it did not shake their foundations. Great Britain remained the world's largest colonial empire.

After last year's Zulu War, Britain wiped out the Zulu kingdom and removed the greatest threat to the Boers. Because during the three years of British rule in the Transvaal Republic, instead of improving the living conditions of the middle and lower classes of the Boers, they did not increase investment and improve the local financial, economic and political life, but allowed British merchants to speculate on land and collect back taxes previously owed to the Boers to the Transvaal, which caused widespread discontent among the Boer people.

When the volunteers arrived in the Republic of Drandash, South Africa, a revolt broke out against the British colonial governor Cherrystone, who tried to re-establish the republic and drive the British rulers from their lands.

The arrival of the French was like a relief in the snow, adding a glimmer of hope to their resistance. After all, the Boers were too weak to be a match for the British.

Eugène Bonaparte also took part in this campaign, having just finished the colonial war in Tahiti and was transferred here by the French leadership, becoming the first European nobleman to set foot in the Transvaal Republic and participate in the war.

Empress Eugenie had great expectations for his son, after all, he was the last of the French royal family of Bonaparte, and although he was driven out, he still had great prestige among the royal family.

With a semi-automatic rifle in his hand, he set foot on the land for the first time.

The rebels were led by Boggs, who personally went to the port to receive the young Eugène.

"I did not expect that even you would participate in this war, it is a great honor for the Boer people. Now that the British colonial army is moving south to suppress the riots, it is a time when the defenses are empty. We can win back our government by defeating the strong with the weak, with a small number of troops and at a cost. ”

"Now that we have taken some ports and towns, and the British government will come back at any time, I wonder now, how many troops the French have brought?"

"Four hundred."

Eugène said without hesitation, "But we have more than enough to deal with two or three thousand colonial troops. ”

"Huh? Just over 400 people? ”

Boggs was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the French volunteers he had been expecting were only more than 400 people.

Eugène picked up his rifle and said to him, "These six hundred men are enough to deal with them, and the French have brought weapons that the British will regret." ”

Eugène removed the Maxim heavy machine gun from the ship and said to the Boers, "This is the gift that France has brought you." Believe me, the British will only be beaten in the face of these weapons. ”

Because of the limitations of the industrial level, the imitation SKS rifle developed by France was only changed to a magazine filled with six rounds in the end, but it was more than enough to deal with the British ** team.

Because the British army at this time still used the old tactics of fighting the war, marching in a neat and dense formation, listening to the commander's orders to shoot, while the Boers were brave and good at fighting, mobile and flexible, and adopted the tactics of dividing and encircling and encircling the points to send reinforcements.

With a semi-automatic rifle in the true sense of the word, plus Makqin, it was enough to crush the British and not be able to raise their heads.

"Prepare for it, we're at war. The British, who were expected to attack our town at the beginning of dawn, had to be prepared. ”

"I hope your weapons will be able to stop the British from attacking," Boggs said earnestly. ”

"Because the British have not yet seen the power of the Maxim machine gun and automatic weapons."

After saying that, he began to busily work with others to arrange firepower points and be vigilant against the attack of the British colonial army.

And this group of volunteers showed extremely high military qualities, and did not look at all like improvised cobbled personnel. They waited until everyone had set up, and the British team was already approaching the town.

The light of dawn tore through the darkness, and a blinding light illuminated the land.

The British Expeditionary Force marched towards them quickly. The few Boers could even feel death approaching them.

The number of enemies was unexpected, and Boggs had no choice but to resort to the strategy of temporarily abandoning the town.

Boggs turned his head and said to Eugène behind him, "The British ** team is approaching us, there are more than expected, I think we should avoid the other side for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to engage in guerrilla warfare!" ”

After listening to this, Ou Ren immediately replied categorically, "No, no, no, it is impossible for guerrilla warfare to defeat the British ** team at one time, we just want to defeat them directly." Force the British ** team to withdraw! ”

Eugène rejected Boggs's suggestion, saying, "We are here to fight, not to harass behind enemy lines." If you Boers want to retreat, feel free, but the French remember only one sentence in the two wars. ”

Boggs looked at this group of determined fellows with a pale face, and even felt that this group of French people had come to die.

Eugène pulled the bolt of his gun and prepared to shoot, and he said to the volunteer soldiers behind him, "Francis, never retreat!" ”
