Chapter Eighty-Four: Hardness

Captain of the Boer militia: "This general, you may not know that the Republic of Grigualand is already part of the British colony of Cape Town, and if we withdraw from the territory of the Republic of Grigualand now, we can pretend that nothing has happened." ”

Naldovic's face turned gloomy: "Are you threatening the great East African kingdom?" ”

"We don't mean that, just state a fact, after all, the Republic of Grigaland is now the British have the final say, and if your country wants to annex Grigualand, I believe it is the British who are nervous, not us."

The Republic of Grigaland is now equivalent to a local government in the colony of Cape Town, and the decision-making power is in the hands of Cape Town, and Grigaland can only fight for some privileges at most.

This made Naldovic very difficult, and just when Naldovic did not know what to do with this matter, a large army also rushed up from the rear.

"Naldovic, what's going on? Why did your troops stop here and not move on! Naldovic's superior, the commander of the 2nd Brigade, Griffin, came over and asked.

"Report to the Brigadier! We're in a little trouble......" Naldovich repeated the situation to Griffin.

Griffin: "I see, don't worry about this matter, I'll take care of it." ”

After that, Griffin came to the Boer militia: "You are the soldiers of the so-called Republic of Grigualand? ”

Seeing that the number of the other party had increased, which put considerable pressure on the Boer militia, the captain of the Boer militia took a deep breath, and then said without humility or arrogance: "Yes, General, we are the militia of the Republic of Grigualand. ”

Griffin: "Very well, whether you represent Grigaland or Cape Town, the next thing is not for a small person like you to participate in, so I advise you to lay down your arms and surrender to our army on the spot, of course, you can also choose to resist, I Griffin has never been embarrassed." ”

What Grigualand, even if it involves the Cape Town colony, Griffin doesn't care, it's a big deal, now the whole world knows that the German Army is the first in the world, and the Kingdom of East Africa, as a German country, is naturally not bad in this regard.

This is the real state of mind of Griffin, Prussia defeated France, Austria-Hungary defeated Italy, and the inspiration for the entire German nationalism also affected East Africa, plus the Kingdom of East Africa has been abusing vegetables in Africa and has not suffered defeat so far, so it is inevitable that there is some expansion in the heart.

Griffin came up and asked the Grigaland militia to lay down their arms, while the Boer militia of the Republic of Grigaland looked at each other.

"What are you doing? Put your weapons down. At this time, the militia captain spoke: "Your Excellency, we give up resistance, but we must ensure our personal safety. ”

Seeing that Griffin was clearly a tough man, tougher than the previous Naldovic, made the Boer militia captain realize that the British could not scare the East African kingdom that came out of nowhere.

To be honest, from the moment he saw the arrival of the East African army, he knew that the initiative in this matter was completely in the hands of the East African Kingdom. At present, the Kingdom of East Africa has shown that it can actually compete with Cape Town.

On the other side is not a militia of non-professional soldiers like himself and others, but regular troops like those on the European continent, which can be seen in the equipment and uniforms.

The military strength of the Cape Colony was mainly armed with militias similar to those of Grigualand, although Cape Town also had British regular troops, but their numbers were not large, and in the eyes of ordinary people, the militia was difficult to compete with well-trained regular troops.

Moreover, there are only a dozen brothers under his command, but there are thousands of people on the other side, not to mention a few thousand, even if there are only a dozen people on the other side, he must weigh it carefully, unless he is crazy, he will choose to fight against the East African kingdom.

In the reprimand of the captain of the Boer militia, the Boer militia voluntarily handed over their weapons to the Royal East African Army.

"Very good, you are a smart person, you can go wherever you want next, and our people will not embarrass you anymore." After collecting the weapons of the Boer militia, Griffin said.

Griffin didn't care about the whereabouts of these militiamen, it didn't matter if he went back to report the news, he didn't care if he stayed where he was, and the East African Army didn't care.

Turning his head, Griffin said to Naldovic: "Now the troops continue to advance, do not stop until they reach the Orange River, this is the strategic bottom line set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

"Brigade commander," said Nardovic, "what if we are stopped by the Republic of Grigaland or the colony of Cape Town?" ”

Griffin: "What are you afraid of! Do you have a burning stick in your hand? Whoever stands in our way, you use the Dreiser in your hand to convince them, understand? ”

Naldovich snorted a spirit, gave a military salute and said, "Yes, the mission is guaranteed!" ”

As the disarmed Boer militia watched, the East African Army continued to advance toward the Orange River, raising gusts of wind and sand wherever the troops passed.

After the East African Army had completely left, the Boer militia asked: "Captain, what do we do now?" ”

"What else can I do, of course, go back."

"But we don't even ...... guns now."

"What are you afraid of! You also saw the scene just now, the other party has thousands of people, and they are still regular troops, but they all have murderous aura in their eyes, just you with thin arms and thin legs, do you still want to find trouble on the other side! ”

"Of course it can't be, isn't that looking for death?"

"So you can't do anything, the responsibility for this matter is not ours, even if the president comes, there is no way, the next thing is what the big people above should consider, and they are the ones who have a headache."

The Republic of Grigualand is only a small Boer country, in fact, the population is about the same as a slightly larger town in East Africa, far from being comparable to the real Boer states of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.

Don't look at the fact that the Republic of Grigualand joined the colony of Cape Town, which is actually of little value to Cape Town.

Grigaland is located on the southern edge of the Kalahari Desert, and the Orange Free State and the Transvaal in the east are facing water shortages, but only water shortages, such as some drought-tolerant crops can still be grown, and the land of the Republic of Grigualan is a valuable asset, and that precipitation can only be used to water the pastures, and there are no conditions for planting.

The Cape Town Colony accepted the Republic of Grigualand entirely because Grigaland took the initiative to give it for nothing, and after taking over the Republic of Grigalan, the Cape Town Colony found that the Republic of Grigaland was actually a pit, mainly because their government's debt problem was very serious, and the reason why Grigualand was given in vain was because the government was in financial difficulties and was unsustainable, so they wanted to let the Cape Town Colony be the receiver.
