Soon, the news about the Boers raiding the settlements of the British Empire in South Africa immediately shocked everyone. Because they didn't expect that a small Boer country would dare to take the initiative to attack the place of the British Empire. This is a slap in the face of the British Empire! Nima, if the Germans, French, Americans, and Russians slapped the British Empire, they would all recognize it. Taking a step back, even if Taiwan slapped the British, the British would still scold them. But you are a Boer, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, and your army is so weak, isn't this a joke? And soon, Salisbury, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, also started a meeting immediately, preparing to discuss the war against the Boers.

"We must teach these gangsters a good lesson. If we let them live like this, how will our British Empire lose face? Therefore, we must teach them a lesson, otherwise our British Empire really has no face. Yes. What does he think the Transvaal Republic is? A country with a population of only a few hundred thousand dares to challenge our British Empire. We absolutely cannot agree. Therefore, we will go to war immediately and must defeat them ’ cried the Marquess of Salisbury.

And those British cabinet members also agreed to go to war, because they thought it would be easy to defeat a country with a population of only a few hundred thousand. How powerful a country with a population of only a few hundred thousand can be, as long as the troops of the British Empire arrive, they will not be defeated like a mountain. Therefore, the cabinet immediately planned to send troops to attack.

The British have long coveted the Boers' territory, because there is one of the world's largest gold mines, the Rand Gold Mine. The Rand Gold Mine can be said to be the number one gold mine in the world, and even in the 21st century, it will be the number one gold mine discovered in the world. Other gold mines with hundreds of tons of reserves are already very huge gold mines, but this Rand gold mine has reserves of tens of thousands of tons. The Rand Gold Mine ranks No. 1 in both reserves and output. Moreover, the Rand Gold Mine accounts for half of the world's discovered gold reserves. As long as you can get this big gold mine, you can get it, very huge wealth. Especially in this era of the gold standard, gold also represents wealth. As long as you can control this Rand gold mine. That means controlling more than half of the world's currency in the future, which is really too tempting. Controlling more than half of the world's currencies, the British Empire will always be strong.

Therefore, each of these guys began to be jealous. It is also inevitable that they will go to war against the Boers. The Boers hold this gold mine, which is equivalent to a child carrying gold to the downtown area. Isn't this envious to **** it? Even if there is no active attack by the Boers this time, the British will try to find a reason to attack. This is the so-called crime of desire. Why do you have nothing to say? Therefore, the British will naturally not miss this opportunity, and they will immediately start dispatching troops. Moreover, not only did they not think that the Boers' attack was a bad thing, but they thought it was a good opportunity for them to start a war against the Boers, a chance to gain huge benefits. As long as the Boers are defeated, the gold will belong to their British Empire.

At this time, the British did not know at all what impact this war would have on their British Empire, and what impact it would have on the international situation.

"Your Excellency, according to the telegram, we have discovered some interesting phenomena." A cabinet member said.

"Oh? Is there any interesting phenomenon?" asked the Marquess of Salisbury.

And the cabinet member immediately said: "That is to say, our troops saw submachine guns in the hands of those Boers, and there were some yellow-skinned people who went to help the Boers fight. And those people are all holding submachine guns, and they are of yellow race. And I even found some square characters on the utensils used by those people. However, because no one in the local area knows these square characters, they don’t know what these square characters are, so they just explained that there are square characters, and they don’t know what it is However, in short, it is a square character, and the font structure is a square, which is not like our Latin alphabet."

"You mean?" The Marquis of Salisbury had some guesses, but he still wanted to make sure.

"There are Eastern countries interfering with us. Although there are many nationalities in this world, it is not impossible to use square characters. However, they can use square characters. They also have the ability to interfere, and they are Asians of yellow race. Besides that small island, who else? ’ the cabinet member hinted.

"Asshole, we didn't trouble him, but he actually came to trouble us?" the Marquis of Salisbury said angrily.

This is the lice on the monk's forehead, it's obvious. So when they heard this, they immediately felt furious. Because the British didn't take the initiative to look for Taiwan's bad luck, but Taiwan actually helped the Boers fight the British here, and Taiwan actually colluded with the Boers, which simply made things a lot more complicated. If this is the case, it will be really complicated, because once Taiwan is allowed to intervene, the originally good Boer War will become a back-and-forth fight between Taiwan and the British. And Taiwan supported the Boers to engage in a proxy war with the British.

"What do they want to do? Is it not enough for them to have Nanyang, do they also want to get involved in Africa?" Someone asked immediately.

"However, with Taiwan's interference, shouldn't we stop fighting?" Someone asked.

The Marquess of Salisbury immediately shouted: "No, we want to fight, even if there is Taiwanese interference, then we will fight. If we don't fight, where will the face of our British Empire be put? Therefore, we must fight. Let Our Consul of the British Empire in Taiwan went to warn Wang Guorui of Taiwan to let him take back all the troops he sent out, otherwise our British Empire would not be polite to him.”

"This time, let's deal with the Boer first, and we should deal with him in a year or two."

Salisbury is ready for war, that is, this time the Boers will be dealt with first, and after the Boers are dealt with, they will also deal with Taiwan. The British hate Taiwan to the extreme, but they are not yet ready to start a full-scale war. When the British are ready for war, they will also go to war in Taiwan, and there is no room for negotiation. However, he didn't expect that the Boers would actually start making trouble now, which made the British very depressed. But the British are not worried, because they are very powerful, even if they decide to send troops to fight the Boers temporarily, there is no problem. After all, the strength of the Boers is only hundreds of thousands. If you send 10,000 troops to fight the Boers, there should be no problem.

"To the Boers, let's go to war!"

Following the words of the Marquis of Salisbury, the entire British war machine was also activated, and tens of thousands of soldiers were gradually transported to the ship, and then prepared to be sent to South Africa to participate in the battle. At this time, the whole world also knew that the British were going to war against the Boers. However, most people are not optimistic about the Boers. After all, the population of the Boers is only hundreds of thousands, and their economic strength and military strength are much weaker than the British. Therefore, countless countries do not think that the Boers can defeat the British. . In this way, all countries are not optimistic about the Boers, but everyone is also envious of the British, because the British will soon be able to obtain the world's largest gold mine, which will occupy more than half of the world's currency in the future. The strength of the British will rise to a big level, so everyone is jealous.

"Hahahaha, it's great that the British finally fought the Boers," Wang Guorui said.

"Husband, can the Boers really take on the task of holding back the British? No matter how I look at it, they feel impossible. Even if we send more than a thousand mercenaries, I still don't think the Boers can defeat the British." Ah!" Zheng Hong said.

And Wang Guorui immediately said: "Actually~lightnovelpub.net~ If you think so, then I am afraid that the British also think so. But you have seriously overestimated the strength of the British army. Not very good. Moreover, although their combat thinking has made the same progress as ours, they have not improved much. They still adopt linear tactics, but once they buy the guerrilla warfare against the Boers, they will definitely face food The result of a big loss. The British have almost no experience in guerrilla warfare. Once they face guerrilla warfare, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. And our more than a thousand mercenaries are all from guerrilla warfare in the tropical rainforest in Southeast Asia. They have very rich experience. Guerrilla warfare experience. Their guerrilla warfare in this dense forest, coupled with the inexperience of the British, so that we can be used as tens of thousands of people. At that time, a lot of manpower and material resources of the British were lost If we are delayed by the Boers, then we can all take the opportunity to find an opportunity to enter the mainland to develop. We have been trapped on this isolated island for too long, and we really can't wait any longer. Therefore, we must find out as soon as possible. Opportunities and reasons, to enter the mainland for development, so that we can obtain a large number of people and resources, instead of relying on immigrants to develop. Only by going to the mainland is the most important way for us to achieve development. The process of becoming a great nation begins."

"Husband, please see the British consul," Kang Tongwei said.

"Hmph, Master Lai Xing is here to ask questions!" Wang Guorui said. (to be continued)
