Chapter 37: In-depth exchanges

I read a lot of books, and the travelers found a lot of black history, for example, the concentration camp was first invented and carried forward by the British, and compared with what the British did in South Africa, the German Navy bombarded undefended seaports and engaged in unrestricted submarine warfare in the 1st World War is really nothing! And in order to completely exterminate the Boer Republic, the actions taken by the British put Japan at the time of the 2 war to shame! What an iron wall made the British play rotten 40 years ago! The Japanese too young, too simple Tucson is broken!

In order to deal with the Boer guerrillas, the British commander Kejina blockaded and cut the Boer Republic, and built a whole 6,000 kilometers of barbed wire! Get a wooden bunker every 1 to 2 km! 8,000 seats were repaired in one go! Whenever anyone was found helping the Boer guerrillas, all the farms and cottages within a 10-mile radius were burned down! The Boers had only 220,000 at the time, and the British burned 30,000 farmhouses.

And that's not all, the British also drove 120,000 Boer old people and young children and 80,000 Khois and blacks into concentration camps! The plague epidemic in the camps, clean food and drinking water were not guaranteed, and in October 1901 the death rate in the camps reached a peak! 34.4% of people died in this month! And among them, 22,072 children alone died!

The two republics of the Transvaal and Orange had only 220,000 men in total, and they lost one-seventh of their population during the war alone! And it was this cruel act that finally broke the will of the Boers to resist! The end result was that the Boers were instigated.

In order to prevent this human tragedy from happening, well, to be precise, to make the Boers and the British fight a little longer! The traverser sincerely hoped that the Boers would abandon their previous suspicions and cooperate with the blacks, especially with the Zulus, whose enemies were British, couldn't they come together? I also sincerely hope that the Boers can deal with the problem of non-combatants, and the sincerity of the traverser is more real than gold!

Kruger felt a little dizzy, after all, he didn't have much military education, he basically relied on recklessness to fight, and logistics supplies basically relied on local recruitment. Skirmishes were fought with ease. But once it is on the grade, large-scale PK, then the original form is exposed, when the British hundreds of thousands of troops are in place, the frontal resistance of the Boers immediately tends to collapse, and finally there is no way to fight guerrilla warfare, such a thing as a war, who wants to let the battlefield break out in their own home!

"Military matters are not a matter, as long as there are enough funds, weapons and equipment, training, and military instructors can be solved! Not only can you hire German artillery instructors and staff officers, Russian cavalry instructors, and French infantry instructors, but I can also help you find them. But the most important thing is still your relationship with the black people, if the latter does not improve, everything we have done will be in vain! The traverser said.

The thinking formed over decades cannot be changed in a few words, even if Kruger can feel that what the other party is saying is very reasonable, good for himself and his country, he is hesitating, thinking, fighting with himself, and the traverser is quietly waiting.

"Let's have lunch together." When the attendant asked for the third time whether the meal would be served, Prince Ruprecht smiled and made the invitation, and something was in a hurry. The relationship between the two sides should also be taken slowly.

The sumptuous lunch blew down the slightly tense atmosphere of the talks between the two sides. And Kruger, who was enjoying the food and wine, suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the rifle in the hand of the sentry at the door! When the main dish was removed from the table and the waiter brought the dessert and fruit after the meal, Kruger finally couldn't help it.

"Your guards use a rifle that I have never seen before, is this a new design of the Mauser brothers?" Kruger asked quietly.

"No, of course not, it was developed by the Southern Ordnance Design Bureau itself, I call it a semi-automatic rifle, and it can shoot bullets as long as you pull the trigger. The current users are only my Guards and part of the Bavarian cavalry units. "When the traverser heard this, he immediately came to his senses! He then motioned for his attendant to fetch a rifle.

"My name is KA1889!" Even after plagiarizing such as the Krupp armor and the Garibaldi battleship, the traverser thinks that his face is thick enough, but at this critical moment, his face is still slightly red! If there is another traverser, you must know that the source of this guy's COPY is Maozi's SVT40 semi-automatic rifle! The same design, even the 10-round magazine has been retained!

"Just pull the trigger and you can shoot a bullet? Don't need to play? Kruger said, taking the rifle handed by the squire. The SVT rifle without bullets is very light, only 3.85KG! Half a kilogram lighter than the Mosin Nagant rifle! And the accuracy is also good.

"3 automatic rifles are enough to suppress a squad of bolt-action rifles in a counter-fire! If you are interested, you can try it. One of the attendants next to him said.

After obtaining the consent of the traverser, a somewhat excited Kruger walked to the back garden accompanied by his attendants. While the traveler and the doctor continue to enjoy refreshments and fruits in the restaurant.

With a series of gunshots, brass eggshells bounced out of the toss, but in just 20 seconds, Kruger had exhausted all 10 rounds in the magazine. The SVT is really a classic, and the recoil is even smaller than that of the Mosin Nagant rifle! The trajectory is straight and the accuracy is good. Even when firing rapidly, it is still relatively stable,

If in the case of an encounter, a skilled gunner can take on 3 to 5 opponents armed with bolt-action rifles! After firing a magazine, Kruger, who was a little unsatisfied, removed the magazine, while the attendant next to him handed over a large magazine of 20 rounds!

"Yes, thank you!" Double the weight, great value enjoyment, half a minute, Kruger once again emptied the magazine, and then he looked at the barrel and barrel. I couldn't help but nodded. "This is a very good gun, perfect for a well-equipped army!

"1000 pieces! I want it. Kruger said with a finger up. And the generosity of this Boer also shocked the attendants on the side! The cost of this gun is 1500 marks! It's about 75 pounds, which is 450 taels when converted into silver! Because it has just been put into production, the unit price remains high, and the traverser is just purchasing a small amount for publicity, and this guy directly bought 1,000 pieces!

Later, Kruger, who was a little unsatisfied, handed over the rifle in his hand to the attendant and returned to the restaurant, and then he was very satisfied with the semi-automatic rifle of the Bavarian Southern Design Bureau and finalized the order on the spot. As for the flattery from the customer, the traverser just smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Taking advantage of Kruger's "intermission", the traverser said: "Actually, we still have a lot of good things, and their value is higher than the rifle you just saw. Those outdated weapons are not actually suitable for your country, and if you are interested, I will arrange for a professional to introduce you to these weapons. ”

After the events of selling armor and selling armor, under the influence of Baron Vittorio, the traverser immediately entered the role and began to dump those new weapons on Kruger? What the? Someone asked, what to do with those old weapons? Don't forget, the Great War in the East in 4 years! Provide some cheap weapons for the motherland in your last life, that is, the right conscience and the right wallet!

The first big export order of his arsenal may have been born from here, and the thought of the rich Boers made the heart of the traverser excited.

With a few strokes, the traverser wrote down the weapon he was going to recommend to Kruger on a piece of paper, and then handed it to the squire, so that Sir Arnalden Hauser was ready to greet the distinguished guest from afar at the weapons test site. An invisible knife was already hanging over Kruger's head, and he didn't know it!
