James Herzog and De Witt are hard-line radicals who have always been opposed to the DPA.

During the war, de Witt mobilized the Boers who had laid down their arms to rejoin the war, and attempted to mobilize the Boers in the Cape to fight.

While these acts did strengthen the guerrillas at some moments, they also brought even greater disasters to the families of the guerrillas who participated in the war.

After the signing of the Peace Agreement, de Witt defended himself by saying that he had done so because Britain had first reneged on its promise to respect the Boers who had laid down their arms and to guarantee their neutrality.

The truth of the matter is no longer known, and the retaliatory measures taken by the expeditionary forces during the war against the sabotage of the Boer partisans were indiscriminate, and De Witt was right when he said so.

James Herzog's main achievement was after the end of the war, before the outbreak of the war, James Herzog was a practicing lawyer, and after the outbreak of the war, James Herzog served as deputy commander-in-chief of the Orange Free State, and his role during the war was not obvious.

It was only after the end of the war that James Herzog began to show his political prowess, and in the future he served as Prime Minister of the Federation of South Africa.

Now that James Herzog had no chance, Roque wanted to use the matter to purge the Boers of radicals once and for all, and to keep only the moderate factions who were cooperative with the British government.

"I don't know why this is happening—" Louis Botha was very heavy when he saw Roque's report.

There's a reason why James Herzog and De Witt took the plunge and Louis Botha and Jan Smolts' People's Party.

Historically, Louis Botha and Jan Smutt's People's Party had been active primarily in the Transvaal, and James Herzog and de Witt's Orange Unionist Party had been active primarily in Orange.

After the introduction of democratic representation in the Transvaal and Orange, the People's Party took the leadership of the Transvaal, and the United Party took the leadership of Orange, and both sides got what they wanted.

At this time, because the Boers could not stay in the Transvaal, the main sphere of activity of the People's Party and the Unionist Party was in Orange.

Because of the excellent performance of Louis Botha and Jan Smuts in the war, the Boers of Orange trusted the People's Party more, and the Orange Unionist Party was gradually marginalized.

James Herzog and De Witt know very well that if the status quo cannot be changed, then when Orange implements a democratic representative system in the future, the Unionist Party will definitely be marginalized, because James Herzog and Louis Botha do not agree on their ideas, and when Louis Botha forms a cabinet, it is estimated that James Herzog will not be invited, so James Herzog and De Witt will have to give it a go.

"If you want to know why, you have to arrest James Herzog and De Witt first." Roque doesn't guess, it's important to get a confession.

"Locke, don't be impulsive!" Louis Botha realized that something was wrong.

"It's late—" Roque smiled, and by this time, Joe Russell and Martin should have already started to act.

——

A little earlier, Bloemfontein.

"We've locked in the positions of James Herzog and De Witt and are ready to go." Martin was still wearing the Johannesburg police uniform, and after the clashes, all the officers in the Bloemfontein police station were investigated, and the police station was basically paralyzed, and Ade ordered the Johannesburg police department to take over the Bloemfontein police station, and Joe Russell and Martin were ordered to be in danger.

"Then let's get moving, and remember, don't let anyone go!" Joe Russell is now the acting director and has to prove his worth with crisp and clean actions.

"Yes!" Martin stood up and saluted, and took care of himself and brought someone to make arrangements.

113 Wirther Strasse is the residence of James Herzog.

After the conflict, James Herzog had already realized that something was wrong, and now this situation is not what James Herzog wants to see, he originally just wanted to make some trouble for Johannesburg, and then make a voice to brush up on his existence, but he didn't expect the long-held Boers to have such a deep grudge against Johannesburg, and as a result, the situation was out of control, causing a serious bloody conflict.

After the conflict, James Herzog never left home again, compiling letters from some old friends during the war in preparation for the publication of a "memoir" about the war.

"Sir, Inspector Martin from the police station is outside the door, and he says he has an urgent matter to see you." The servant knocked at the door.

"Tell him I'm not feeling well." James Herzog didn't want to see anyone, and he didn't realize that Martin was here to arrest people.

In James Herzog's view, the Johannesburg City Council and the Orange authorities should now be so busy dealing with the aftermath and dealing with London's reproaches that they would not even notice his presence.

At least he won't react so quickly, James Herzog is still relatively smart, everything is done through other people, and James Herzog has never made a sound from the beginning to the end.

"Sir, you can't go in—"

At the sound of the servant's obstruction, Martin pushed the door open.

"As I said, I'm not feeling well." James Herzog's expression was gloomy, especially after seeing that "Inspector Martin" was a yellow man.

"I'm not here to ask you to see a doctor." Martin didn't talk nonsense, giving the policeman a look, and several policemen carried the servant out, and then closed the door.

"Mr. Herzog, I need to ask you something." Martin opened the notebook he was carrying with him and prepared to take notes.

"Is this an interrogation for you?" James Herzog had a mocking smile on his lips.

"Pretty much, if you want to understand it that way." Martin is not angry and is more patient than James Herzog.

"Bastard, see clearly, you are the former deputy commander-in-chief of the Orange Free State in front of you, even if the governor is here, give me the respect I deserve." James Herzog roared, he couldn't stand Martin's frivolous attitude.

"You said it all, it's 'before-" Martin shook his head, pulling a glove from his pocket and putting it on.

"Damn rude guy, get the hell out of here, you're in big trouble, I'm going to sue you to the city - oh yes, you're an inspector at the Johannesburg Police, but that's okay, I can go the extra mile and go to the Johannesburg city to charge you." James Herzog was uncompromising, he hated all the people who had to do with the British government, he hated all the coloured races, and Martin had both.

"Why?" Martin put on his gloves and looked up at James Herzog with a calm expression, which contrasted with James Herzog's outburst: "Why take those remarks against Chinese farmers in Johannesburg? You lost the farms in Johannesburg, but it was not the fault of the Chinese farmers, they didn't do anything, they just struggled to survive, although they did have some impact on the status quo of the Boers, but it was inevitable, on the contrary, when Bloemfontein was flooded, the Chinese farmers in Johannesburg were still donating supplies to Bloemfontein, and the potatoes you ate were donated by the farmers in Johannesburg. ”

Martin tried to reason that the Boers had fallen to this point because they were to blame, and if the Boers had also worked hard to save themselves and restore their farms after the war, then the Boers would have more ability to protect themselves in the face of disaster, instead of relying on foreign aid as they are now.

"Why? Are you too embarrassed to ask why? Don't think I don't know, in the Qing Kingdom, you are a bunch of lowly slaves, inferior to the Zulu people of the Cape-" Maybe there were only Martin and James Herzog in the room, and James Herzog also became unscrupulous, and he was not worried that his words would get out:"-Look at your current appearance, you took advantage of our absence, robbed our farms, robbed us of our jobs, and even some people were knighted, do you think you will have peace of mind in the future? Don't be complacent, we'll get back little by little what we've lost, and you damn yellows will eventually have to go back to your country as slaves. ”

James Herzog was so preoccupied with venting that he didn't seem to notice that Martin had come to his side.

"What are you going to do?" James Herzog was aware of the danger.

"What do you say—" Martin smiled in his classic crocodile style—

For a long time, the policemen outside the door of James Herzog's study, and James Herzog's servants, heard a dull gunshot.

The officers broke down the door and saw James Herzog lying in his chair while Martin sat across from the table.

"Mr. James Herzog committed suicide in fear of the crime, notify the laboratory department—" Martin's face was ugly, and Joe Russell's order to Martin was to arrest James Herzog, and the current situation, of course, is also acceptable.

"The Bloemfontein police station does not have a medical department—" a police officer whispered back.

"Then tell the Johannesburg Police Department's Laboratory Section to send someone—" Martin got up and prepared to leave the house.

"Sir—" James Herzog's servant cried out.

"Take all the people in this house and see if they know anything." Martin doesn't let people spoil the scene, and as for James Herzog's servants, they also have interrogation value.

——

A little later, on the outskirts of Bloemfontein, the Lascaux estate, where de Witt lived.

Unlike James Herzog, de Witt was a pure general, and the battlefield was de Witt's stage, and after the war, there was no room for de Witt to play, so de Witt lived in a manor on the outskirts of Bloemfontein, and even Bloemfontein was reluctant to go.

Although he has lost all his rights, De Witt still has many followers around him, and there are about thirty gunmen in the entire estate, all of whom are De Witt's followers.

When the police arrived at Lascaux, it was dinner time, and before they could enter the estate, they were stopped by gunmen.

"What do you guys do?" The gunners were vigilant, and although their weapons were not raised, their hands were on the handles.

"The Johannesburg police handle the case, and all irrelevant people are scattered, so as not to obstruct official business." The inspector who led the team was David Gracie, and he was a pure Englishman.

"This is Orange, not your Johannesburg territory—" The gunmen brazenly blocked the entrance to the manor and prevented the police from entering.

"All of them, dismount, ready to fight—" David Gracie was unkind, the general of the defeated army was nothing more than anything to be proud of.

Dozens of police officers dismounted, and some began to check their weapons.

The police were armed not only with pistols and rifles, but also with two Maxim heavy machine guns.

"Hey, hey, what are you going to do?" The gunners were dumbfounded, they all only had pistols, and they knew it with their feet, and they couldn't compete with rifles and heavy machine guns.

"On official duty! Nothing to do with it, get out of the way! David Gracie's hand was also pressed on the handle of the gun, and if the gunmen did not give way, David Gracie would order the arrest.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" De Witt was finally overwhelmed by a group of gunmen.

David Gracie noticed that the gunman next to De Witt was armed with a spear.

"Mr. De Witt, I'm Inspector David Gracie of the Johannesburg Police Department, I have a case here, and now I need your help in our investigation, please come with us, don't make it difficult for me." David Gracie's face was cold, although the gunman next to De Witt was in possession of a prohibited weapon, but now was not the time to pursue it.

Let's get De Witt caught first!

"Hehe, can you ask, what is the case?" De Witt has a calm expression and holds a Winchester M1887 in his hand.

Winchester M1887 is the first real lever-fired repeating shotgun, during the Boer War, the Boer coalition army was equipped with a large number of Winchester M1887, although this weapon has a short range, the power is not enough, and the use of black powder, but at close range, the power of Winchester M1887 is still good.

The Johannesburg Police Department is now also armed with shotguns, the same Winchester, but not the Winchester M1887, but a modified Winchester M1887 of the Winchester M1897.

The M1897 is a pump-action shotgun, which can use not only smokeless gunpowder, but also single-headed bullets, which can shoot longer and more powerfully, and if you use shotshots, it is equally powerful at close range, and you only need to take a rough aim to hit the target.

By the way, de Witt's M1887 was also illegal, as provided for in the DPA.

"I'm sorry, I can't leak the case right now, you can go to the police station with me." David Gracie's goal is still to arrest people.

De Witt thought for a moment, looked up and smiled far-fetchedly: "Okay, please wait for me, I want to change my clothes." ”

"No, Mr. de Witt, you're going to come with us now." David Gracie directly refused, and he didn't go to the wedding, what to change into clothes, and now it's good.

"Hehe-" De Witt had a complicated expression, and he was about to say something.

Bang!

Someone opened fire on the estate, and a policeman fell in response.

"Shoot, shoot—" David Gracie reacted quickly, hiding behind a large tree when the gun rang off.

Knock Knock Knock –

The sound of heavy machine gun fire was breathtaking.
