Chapter 1148: The Wind Rises in Africa

Just when the Chinese Empire was preparing for a great war, South Africa also ushered in drastic changes!

A few months later, the current Transvaal Republic has finally been reunited, not only the armies of the two countries have been merged, but also the governments of the two countries have been merged. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

According to the provisional constitution, Martinas is still the president of the newly established Transvaal-Orange Federal Republic, according to Martinas's nomination, the Minister of Finance Rodman is nominated as the first person to be the prime minister, Kryugel is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, the Orange Free State is officially under the rule of the Transvaal, and the accession of Orange has doubled the territory and population of the Transvaal, but at the same time, the combined army has been reduced from 70,000 to 45,000, Among them, the retired military personnel were added to the police system, and the new government maintained a high level of efficiency.

The strength of the Transvaal Defense Force, which has received the assistance of weapons from the Chinese Empire, has increased rapidly, not only these weapons, but most importantly, a group of instructors sent by the Chinese Empire, this is the most fatal, and Guo Ye's henchman Zhang Hexiang is personally responsible, plus Jiang Shenghua and the elite forces drawn from the Army Academy and the First Army Corps, there are more than 500 people, and the entire Transvaal Defense Force is now only three divisions.

Similarly, the merger of the Transvaal and Orange has also had a huge impact in southern Africa, bringing a huge shock to the surrounding indigenous countries and colonial countries such as Britain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal.

The new German and Austrian Federal Republic has been established, and it has issued a declaration to guarantee the rights of blacks, giving equal political and economic rights to the local black natives, this is the most important thing, the declaration has just passed a month and a half, there have been more than 100,000 blacks through various ways into the German and Austrian Federal Republic, in the future, there will be more blacks, even whites into the German and Austrian Federal Republic, huge immigration resources, will make this new country have strong human resources, and the right to guarantee, It will also make the blacks even more eager to become a member of the German-Austrian Federal Republic, a powerful cohesion that ordinary forces simply cannot crush!

Now that the two countries have merged, and together with the black natives who have been recruited, the population of the German and Austrian Federal Republic is close to three million, although the population is still small, but it is much stronger than when the Transvaal and Orange were divided! After all, once a really strong enemy comes, take these blacks up and take up arms, they are soldiers!

Now Martinas and Kryugel are already grinning happily, the changes are too fast, the benefits of this merger have gradually been revealed, and with the Chinese Empire as the backing, it is difficult for the German and Austrian Federal Republic to be strong!

Of course, the British would not have given much room for the development of the German and Austrian Federal Republic, and at this time, the British had already bought off the Zulu kingdom to the east.

A small Zulu kingdom, although the strength is not weak, but it is very backward, gold and silver are smashed, the king of the Zulu kingdom has long been smashed, and not only aid money, but also aid weapons!

When the Zulu king Mopanda was worried about whether the suddenly powerful Boers would retaliate against the Zulus, the British came directly to him and asked for an alliance with the Zulu kingdom to deal with the German and Austrian Federal Republic to the west, and to deal with the military threat of the Boers.

The British offered conditions that no one could refuse—to supply the Zulu kingdom with a thousand tons of grain per year, a hundred thousand pounds, for the next five years; At the same time, in order to strengthen the Zulu army, he was willing to provide the Zulu kingdom with 20,000 rifles, 100 artillery pieces, and a number of various shells and bullets.

These conditions are too generous!

Mo Panda is not a fool, with these weapons, his army will completely get rid of the backward state of the primitive society with the original long-haired bow and arrow, and step into the age of firearms in one fell swoop! With the support of the British behind them, what are the Boers afraid of? If it's a big deal, then go to war, the Boers are far from being the Zulus' opponents than fighting!

As for what will happen to the British in the future, why the British are doing this, that's all for later, no matter why they do it, anyway, the thing is in hand, it's their own!

"Dear Mr. Minister, we would like to know what you want us to do with so much money, weapons, and ammunition sent to us."

Mo Panda asked flatteringly.

British envoy Francis said with a smile: "Mr. King, in fact, you should know better than me that you and the Boers are a feud, it is simply your life and death, now the Transvaal and Orange led by the Boers have been merged, and with the support of the Chinese Empire, it will become stronger and stronger, a strong German and Austrian Federal Republic is definitely going to invade all around, and the first target is definitely your Zulu, because your feud cannot be resolved no matter what." Therefore, for the sake of the stability of Southern Africa, and at the same time to avoid the emergence of a strong adversary in Africa, we must limit their development! ”

Mo Panda said with a smile: "Mr. Minister said that it was a joke, with the strength of your country to the extreme, why do you need to care about the Boers, if you want to defeat them, it is not an easy thing?" ”

"Of course, if we make a move in the British Empire, the Boers naturally have no ability to resist, but now that Europe is at war, the British Empire is afraid that it will be difficult to draw enough energy in a short period of time, second, behind the Boers stands the Chinese Empire, although our British Empire is strong, but we do not want to have a head-on conflict with the Chinese Empire at this time, so, we need a strong ally to appear in Africa, the Zulus are all natural warriors, they are brave warriors, and they are our most suitable partners, We share a common goal and an enemy, don't we? ”

Francis replied.

"Yes, yes, yes! We have a common enemy, we will never forget the blood feud of the Zulus, and if we have the chance, we will definitely defeat the Boers and drive them out of the Transvaal! Mr. Minister, I hope we can have a good time working together! ”

Mo Panda raised his glass!

Francis looked at the wine glass in his hand with some disgust, it was so disgusting, even the royal utensils were extremely dirty, these barbarians, these barbarians who lived in the era of primitive people, where the hell is this wine? In England, even plain water is better than this!
