Unsurprisingly, the news of Louis Botha's death caused a great deal of repercussions among the Boers.

The Orange Journal was the first to publish the news of Louis Botha's death, and then rumors spread that the federal government had deliberately murdered Louis Botha in order to completely suppress the Boers.

There is no evidence for this claim, and the root cause of the marginalization of the Boers is not the repression of the federal government, but the degeneration of the Boers as a whole, and it is for this reason that Jan Smoltz left England.

Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it.

The day after the Orange Journal published the news of Louis Botha's death, a rally in honor of Louis Botha took place in Freiburg, Orange's fourth largest city, and the next day the rally turned into a march demanding an investigation into the death of Louis Botha.

It's funny that some Boers believe that the federal government murdered Louis Botha, and then they ask the federal government to investigate, perhaps because they really think the federal government will enforce the law impartially.

Of course, this impartial law enforcement should be put in quotation marks, and if the results of the investigation are favorable to them, then it is impartial law enforcement.

If the results of the investigation do not satisfy them, then it must be the protection of the officials.

As for why it is the "fourth".

The first city in Orange is undoubtedly Bloemfontein, the second largest is the diamond city of Kimberley, the third is Wilkham on the border with the Transvaal, and the fourth is Freiburg.

Freiburg numbered about 15,000 people and is located in a remote mountainous region in northwestern Orange, where most of its inhabitants are traditional die-hard Boers.

In the more than ten years since the establishment of the federal government, the policy towards the Boers has gone through several different stages, from the initial assistance to the support and then to the current indifference.

In the process, the Boers were gradually marginalized, and the traditional Boer settlements gradually shifted from Bloemfontein to remote areas, now mostly concentrated in Freiburg.

Freiburg is the only region in southern Africa where only Boer is spoken.

"The situation in Freiburg is dangerous, Mayor Adela resigned two hours ago, the city is paralyzed, and the top official in Freiburg is now the Speaker of the City Council, Price, who is a Boer, and the opportunity to honor Minister Botha was first initiated by Price." Roque reported to Ade as soon as possible.

Ade's health is similarly bad.

When Roque met Ade twenty years ago, Ade was still in his prime and an excellent colonial official.

Now Ade has also reached the stage of the end of his life, especially after the news of Louis Botha's death came, Ade has aged a lot overnight.

The death of Louis Botha was a sign that their generation was coming to an end.

"How many men do we have in Freiburg?" Ade has a poker face and eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"There was no garrison in Freiburg, there were only sixty men in the police department, and most of them were Boers, and in this situation all Boers could not be trusted." Roque is not optimistic, and the situation in Freiburg is indeed very serious.

"Is it already bad enough to be like this—" Ade finally had an expression on his face, sad.

"It's been almost 17 years since the Peace Agreement was signed in '02, and in order to appease the Boers, we have paid tens of millions of pounds back and forth, given them money, given them farms, given them the means of production and subsistence, built schools, built hospitals, built railways, built water conservancy - why is this happening now?" Ade couldn't figure out why the Boers weren't satisfied, even in the Orange Free State, when the Orange government had not done so hard.

Roque didn't speak, the resistance of the traditional Boers to the federal government had nothing to do with how much benefit they received from the federal government, the war was the original sin.

The Boers wanted not only a happy life, but also unfettered freedom, which of the two has not yet been satisfied, and which one is more important.

Fish, I want too; Bear's paws, as well as I want.

You can't have both—

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!

"Where is the closest unit to Fort Frey?" Ade is the prime minister, not only to ask why, but also to come up with a solution, otherwise he will become a troll.

"Clarksdorp has one regiment of the 1st Panzer Division, and two battalions of the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Nanshan in Bechuana." Roque had been prepared for it, and Clarksdorp was in the Transvaal, about 180 kilometers from Freiburg.

Fort South Hill is even closer to Fort Frey, less than 120 km away.

Ade glared at Roque seemingly inadvertently, and was insightful of Roque's thoughts.

It is true that the Ministry of Defense did not station troops in Freyburg, but Roque deployed a lot of troops around Freiburg, and in Orange, the closest city to Fort Frey was Kimberley, and the Ministry of Defense also had troops in Kimberley, but Roque just said that all Boers are not trustworthy now, so Roque didn't mention it.

"Be cautious about moving troops directly—" Roque couldn't help but remind.

On weekdays, Roque did not hesitate to transfer troops to Freiburg.

Now it's different, Ade's resignation is imminent, and if there is a big trouble at this time, maybe Ade's reputation will be ruined.

Roque didn't want Ade's political career to be tainted by that.

"It doesn't matter, I'm leaving office soon, and if I can, I hope that the Boer issue will be resolved during my term of office, and I won't leave this difficult problem to you." Ade really didn't have anything to say to Roque, and would rather take the blame himself than leave Roque those so-called historical problems.

Now it is becoming clearer that Philip will surely become the next prime minister when Ade leaves office.

After taking office, in order to win the support rate, Philip is not expected to be ruthless to the Boers, and most of the time he will still induce them to appease and stabilize the body.

In this way, the problem of the Boers will continue forever.

And after Philip's term of office ends, as long as Roque is still alive by then, then Roque's ascension to the throne is almost a certainty, and this trouble will still be Roque's at that time.

That's why Ade doesn't even care about his own feathers.

"I created the problem of the Boers, so I will put an end to it, and I will bear all the consequences." Ade's thin body was extremely tall at this moment, and Roque was in a stirring mood, not knowing what to say.

"Go ahead, get all the troublemakers arrested, and that Orange Journal, this newspaper needs time to put things in order, and as for Price—you know what to do." Ade will not leave any trouble, once the army enters, the situation will definitely be uncontrollable.

"Why don't you wait—" Roque is not in a hurry, violence is not the only way to solve the problem, and if you look at it another way, there are actually many ways to solve the problem.

Ade looked at Roque puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Roque's gourd.

"I'm going to blockade the area around Freiburg, let the Boers in Freiburg make a mess of it, and wait until they're exhausted, and then the army will enter again – or the army won't enter and leave them to fend for themselves." Roque is yin, and if he doesn't die, he won't die.

Now it was Ade's turn not to speak.

Roque's method is indeed a little shady, but it will not cause the reputation of Ade and the federal government to be damaged, don't the Boers want freedom, then give them freedom, see how far they can toss.

If Ade were the Virgin, he would have worried about the peace-loving people in Freiburg.

But there are no eggs under the nest, and in Freiburg's case, it is difficult to say how many people are innocent.

If you really love peace, you can ask the federal government to send troops into Freburg to stabilize order, and the federal government will definitely obey the will of the people.

Since Ade didn't speak, then Roque should have agreed with Ade.

Back at the Ministry of Defense, Roque immediately ordered the troops stationed in Clarksdorp and Fort Southhill to move towards Fort Frey.

At the same time, the Transvaal and Bechuana regions were ordered to carry out a three-level mobilization, and if necessary, to send additional troops to Freiburg at any time.

In charge of the operation was Richard Brown, the former commander of the 103rd Division and the current commander of the Transvaal Military Region.

Richard Brown and Ford Lew, then commander of the 105th Division, were court-martialed during the World War for refusing to carry out the orders of Hag, then commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force.

Although the court-martials did not convict Richard Brown and Ford Lew, they were dismissed on the pretext of physical reasons.

After the sentence was pronounced, Ford Lew went to Najd to serve as commander-in-chief of the Najd Corps, where he still serves.

Richard Brown returned to Southern Africa as Chief of the Logistics Division of the Ministry of Defence and as Commander-in-Chief of the Transvaal Military Region after the end of the World War.

The Transvaal is located in the heart of Southern Africa, and the capital Pretoria is also the administrative capital of Southern Africa.

Before leaving, Roque lectured Richard Brown in person.

"The area around Freiburg is completely blocked, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and no supplies are allowed to enter Freiburg, I have sent people to blow up Freiburg's radio station, cut off the power supply to Freiburg, and no one is allowed to enter the city of Freiburg without my order, and let them fend for themselves." Roque is ruthless, anyway, there is no self-media at this time, no matter what happens in Freiburg, it is difficult for the outside world to know.

"What if it's attacked?" Richard Brown wasn't sure about Roque's bottom line.

"Won't you fight back when you're attacked? What are you doing with armored vehicles and tanks, your guns are not burning sticks. "Roque looks at Richard Brown like a fool, and it is not the style of the Southern African army to fight back and scold or talk back.

"Understood, we don't care if they kill people in front of us." Richard Brown is still very smart, in fact, even if he drives a tank into Fort Frey, it is normal.

In 1932, when World War I veterans rallied in Washington for their pensions, the U.S. government sent MacArthur to communicate with the veterans, and MacArthur transferred the tank.

Join us, the U.S. Army needs you.

The last two sentences of this chapter are the slogans of the United States before World War I.
