My Italian: Chapter 441 The Boer War broke out

Negotiations between Italy and Russia on the purchase of ships are still going on, and it is difficult to negotiate such a major event as the purchase of warships within two or three months. Although Russia's preparation to purchase Italian warships has attracted great attention, another incident has caused a huge sensation among the people and even the governments of various countries.

Just in April of this year, the Prime Minister of the British Cape Colony, Sir Alfred Milner, instructed the British expats in the Transvaal to write a letter of grievance to Queen Victoria, asking her to protect the interests of British subjects.

In Britain, the colonial secretary Chamberlain promoted the military action against the Boers. In addition, the British media also created public opinion, claiming that the Boers were peacebreakers, and they ignored the order of the empire. In addition, it declared in a high-profile manner that the British Empire only needs a "pleasant trip" to annex these two countries.

The British people, instigated by the media, have expressed their support for the colonial policy of the British Empire. The British Empire Army even declared that it only needs 10 million pounds to solve the troubles of the Boers. This was the heroic performance of the Boers before, which made the British military decide to invest a huge sum of 10 million pounds, or 5 million would be enough.

The ultimate reason for the British Empire to be so hostile to the two Boer countries was interests.

In 1884, prospecting experts discovered the world's largest Witwatersrand gold mine on a remote pasture between Pretoria and the Vaal River in the Republic of Transvaal 40% of the total gold reserves), Johannesburg was subsequently established on this gold mine.

Profits and taxes from the gold mines fueled the rapid economic development of the Transvaal Republic, while the Orange Republic also did well off diamonds. The continuous discovery of mineral resources in the Boer countries of the two countries also attracted the greedy eyes of Britain.

Of course, before this, the British Empire had only used force. In 1895, Dr. Jansen, a senior employee of the South African Mining Company, led 500 South African company policemen and several machine guns in an attempt to conquer the Transvaal and overthrow the Paul Kruger regime in the Transvaal.

As a result, except for 134 people who were killed, the rest, including Johnson, were all captured. As for the riots initiated by the "Aliens Reform Committee" in China, they were also suppressed by the police. Yes, this is the first Boer War and the origin of William II's famous telegram.

Of course, after suffering a loss last time, this time the British Empire feels that relying on the police to do things is not reliable at all. If you want to take down the republic of the two Boers, you still need the regular army.

Ever since, the troops of the British Empire began to gather in South Africa. Of course, while preparing military means, the British Empire also wanted to let the two Boer countries that offended the imperial tiger's prestige quickly realize their mistakes and obediently obey the orders of the British Empire by subduing their soldiers without fighting.

Therefore, in June, Milner, Governor of the Cape Colony, and Kruger, President of the Transvaal Republic, held the last negotiation on the protection of the rights and interests of foreigners in Bloemfontein.

However, the negotiations did not go well, because the Boers were unwilling to recognize the British Empire's claim for suzerainty, even if the residence period for foreigners to obtain Transvaal citizenship was reduced from 14 years to 5 years.
