Red Alert 1895: Chapter 464 Boers
In southern Africa, a place called the Republic of Transvaal, here is a new nation formed by Dutch, French, and German white descendants, called the Boers. They have been living in South Africa all year round and have formed a new nation. However, they are still mainly descendants of the Dutch, and now none of them know that a catastrophe is about to befall them. However, at this time, a "big savior" has already arrived at their heads.
"Mr. President, I think we are actually very destined. Our Governor of Taiwan, Mr. Wang, has officially married Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands, and most of you Boers are descendants of the Dutch, and we are actually a family. " Said Cai Ben of Taiwan's General Intelligence Agency.
At present, Cai Ben is wearing very ordinary clothes. He came to this southern Africa secretly to discuss with the republic formed by the Boers. Because Cai Ben knows that Taiwan intends to sell those weapons and equipment, and since there are not many customers at present, they must be ready to find a customer who is willing to buy. So now this Boolean is one of the very important customers, so let someone come over and talk to them. As for the next step, there are many ways for them to purchase weapons.
The president of the Transvaal Republic immediately asked: "What is your purpose? Don't use it to get close to me. We have no relationship with the Netherlands. If you have anything to say, you don't need to go around in circles."
"..." Cai Ben was speechless.
Originally, Cai Ben thought he could marry Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands through Wang Guorui. It can bring the relationship between the two parties closer, and make them close. In the end, they didn't expect that they didn't take the Dutch seriously, and they didn't think they were Dutch anymore. This is simply too weird. Even if you leave the motherland, you don't recognize yourself as a person of the motherland. And if they are Chinese, many of them have even been away for hundreds of years, and their descendants will also recognize themselves as Chinese. Why are the Dutch people so miserable that they don't recognize themselves as people of the motherland after leaving the motherland? It is conceivable that the cohesion and cultural influence of this nation is not too high, and it is easily changed by other cultures. Once you leave the collective, it is easy to cut off the cultural inheritance. But the Chinese are different. Even after being away for hundreds of years, the cultural influence is deeply imprinted in the bones.
"Okay. Then I'll tell the truth! We in Taiwan have received important information that the British are ready to attack you, that is to say, we are going to start a war. This war of the British will be a very important war. They will try their best to fight you, and then send hundreds of thousands of people over. At that time, what will you do?" Cai Ben asked.
When the president of the Transvaal heard this, his face immediately changed. Now the conflict between the Boers and the British is very serious. In fact, the Boers and the British also have great conflicts, and the conflict between them is getting deeper and deeper. Since the first Boer War, the British rule over the Boers has existed in name only, and the Boers have actually been able to establish their own country independently. However, if the British want to start a war again. That would be really troublesome. Therefore, the president of the Transvaal was of course very surprised when he heard this.
Although the Boers established a republic. But in fact, compared with the strength of the British, they must still be very insufficient. The British empire on which the sun never sets was not created in vain, they are truly powerful! If the British send hundreds of thousands of people to attack the Boers, the number of the opponent's army is almost equal to the population of the Boers, which is really very dangerous.
And Cai Ben thought to himself: "You guys are innocent and full of guilt. Your Boer country is so weak, but it occupies the largest gold mine in the world. Isn't this courting death? This gold mine occupies the largest gold mine in the world. A quarter of the world's gold reserves, if it were me, I would be tempted. The British are not tempted, then there is a ghost. With this gold mine alone, there is no discussion to clean up you. Next, you must Facing the blow of the British, that is really a tragedy. However, the more tragic you are, the happier we are, because our arms have found a home."
The President of the Transvaal immediately said: "We Boers will never surrender. No matter how powerful the British are, we still have the courage to fight them. If they want to rule us and take us away If there is no homeland, then we will fight them desperately. We will definitely tell the British that we Boers are an unyielding nation, a nation that will not submit.”
"Mr. President, we think we can cooperate. Although you Boers are very brave and unyielding, it is also a very huge fact that the British are powerful. Not to mention that the population of the British is tens of millions, which is hundreds of times that of yours. And this is still their main ethnic group. If they include the ethnic groups in various colonies in various places, they can definitely deploy a large number of servant troops to attack you. And you only have a population of hundreds of thousands. Can you sustain it? The British have a complete industrial system. They can produce a large amount of guns and ammunition, but can you resist? At that time, their guns and ammunition can be transported to attack you in a steady stream, but you don’t have much industry. Basically, you can't produce your own rifles and cannons, and you will definitely suffer a lot." Cai Ben said.
The President of the Transvaal immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. We can benefit each other. We have a lot of military equipment to be decommissioned, and we plan to sell it to you. We don't need too much high price, and we can sell it to you at a relatively low price, so that you You can also have enough weapons to fight against the British. According to the information we have received, the British will launch a large-scale offensive next year to launch a war, so you can take advantage of this time to accumulate arms and various supplies, so that you can You have enough accumulation to fight the British for a long time. As long as you have a gun and all the people are soldiers, then you will definitely be able to defeat the British." Cai Ben said.
Cai Ben didn't think about the fact that the Boers could defeat the British, because it was impossible for the Boers to defeat the British, because the population of the British didn't know how many times more than the Boers. The Boers don't have much industrial system, they can only choose to resist the British through continuous consumption, and they don't have any confidence to fight the British at all. Although it is said that everyone is very heroic and that the whole people are soldiers, this is just a tragic color.
As for Taiwan, it hopes to attract the attention of the British through the Boers, so that the Boers can attract hundreds of thousands of British troops. If the hundreds of thousands of British troops are attracted by that time, then Taiwan can also swagger into the mainland, then gain a foothold in the mainland, and gradually seize power in the mainland. This is the so-called idea of far-reaching and close-attack. The Boers and the British have conflicts, and the war is about to break out. As long as Taiwan can make good friends with them, then they can completely achieve their purpose of containing the British through them.
As for the final outcome of the Boers, Taiwan will not care about it, because the Boers are dead friends and poor people. They just want to contain the British. If they can't beat the British, then Taiwan will not send troops. save them. Taiwan will not break out a large-scale war between the Boers and the British. Anyway, the Boers are not worth Taiwan's hard work.
"Are you going to sell us military equipment?" President Transvaal felt his eyes light up.
If Taiwan sells military equipment to itself, it is not unacceptable. Because the Boers do lack equipment at present, and the Boers do not have a complete industrial system at present, and they cannot produce weapons by themselves at all. At most, it is to produce some rifles, but it is absolutely impossible to produce cannons and the like. So now they heard that someone is willing to sell equipment for themselves~www.mtlnovel.com~ This makes them all feel very happy. They also now know that the British have bad intentions towards them. I am afraid that it is really like what Taiwan said, and the British will start a war soon. If you don't prepare early now, I'm afraid you will face very miserable results in the future. Therefore, if the Boers want not to be defeated by the British, they must accumulate weapons and equipment as soon as possible, and prepare for a war with the British.
Therefore, at present, they can consider purchasing some military equipment to strengthen their own strength. However, many countries are unwilling to sell military equipment to them, even including their motherland, the Netherlands and France, because they are under heavy pressure from the British, so they dare not sell. And now they want to purchase equipment, but they can't find the temple gate with a pig's head, and they all feel very depressed. Now that someone is willing to sell equipment, this is already very good, so the President of the Transvaal feels very smart!
"This is our equipment list. There are Mauser rifles, and grenade launchers invented by us in Taiwan. We can even sell heavy machine guns to you. Then you can choose and purchase slowly, and we will help you get them." Got it." Cai Ben said.
The president of the Transvaal Republic took the list and began to look it up, thinking about what kind of weapons to buy, and whether the price was within his acceptable range, and whether he wanted to lower the price. (to be continued)
