Chapter 1089: Ask Ji Jiang Shenghua
"Krugel, you must know that the Zulu people are best at fighting, and those natives will not die if they fight! If we can beat someone, how much will it cost to get in? We have so much money? ”
Martinas dissatisfied. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Kryuger's expression was stunned, his words were light, if he really started a war, his country might not be able to withstand it, not to mention that the British were also eyeing the Zulu people and grabbing territory with the British? It's really not reliable......
"Mr. President, I think there is some truth in what General Kryuger said, if you don't have money, then let's rob it, we don't exterminate the Zulu people, as long as we can have a port, but you need to be famous, stand on the moral high ground, once you grab it, then no one will leave!"
Kong Youlin replied lightly.
"But,"
Martinas said abruptly: "Mr. Kong, we don't have enough weapons and equipment, let us fight with the natives with bayonets, then we will definitely not be able to beat them, you must know that the British have fought several battles with the Zulus, but they have not been able to take advantage of any ......"
Kong Youlin smiled mysteriously and replied: "Mr. President, I can't do anything about this, but someone should have a way to ......."
"Who?"
Martinas' eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
"It's the Grand Minister who was just......"
Kong Youlin said with a smile, "Don't just see him as a diplomat, you must know that he turned out to be our Majesty's chief of guard, and he began to follow our Majesty a long time ago, and his diplomatic talent is not bad, but when it comes to military talent, it is absolutely outstanding, and as our Majesty's confidant, it is absolutely right to ask him for advice on military matters......
After talking for a long time, he went around to Jiang Shenghua again, Kryuger stood up and said in a muffled voice: "Don't say it, it's special, I'll go to Mr. Minister to apologize, as long as he can come up with a good idea for us, that is, kneel and kowtow to him, I will admit it!" ”
Kryuger, who was impatient, really threw everyone behind him and ran directly to the legation.
Jiang Shenghua didn't slap him in the face and invited him in, although his face was still a little unsightly, he finally saved some face.
Kryuger's face turned red, his head drooped, his body bowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Minister, please forgive me for my previous remarks, I will retract all what I said, Mr. Kong and Mr. President have already communicated with me, I also realize that if we want the Boers to become strong, we need more friends, and we also need to unite the blacks, you are right, I sincerely apologize to you......"
Jiang Shenghua nodded, his face melted a little, and replied: "General Kryuger, remember, there is no distinction between high and low nationalities and races in the world, but they are only temporarily backward for some reasons, and you Boers have no capital to look down on people, because you are also very weak, and I help you so much, not because you are noble, but because you are weak, suppressing the strong and helping the weak, which is the idea that we Chinese have always upheld. If we follow the strength of the Xia Empire to invade you, thinking that you are also inferior, how do you feel? ”
Kryugel hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes!" What Mr. Minister said is that I was indeed careful before I spoke, and I beg your pardon......"
While talking, Martinas and Rodman followed Kong Youlin to the legation.
Jiang Shenghua was stunned and said, "What's wrong with you?" If you don't participate in the great banquet, what are you doing in our legation of the Chinese Empire? I just got angry and ran back, you don't need to be so nervous......"
Martinas smiled and said, "Mr. Minister, as a distinguished guest, Krugel's words hurt you, and we naturally want to apologize to you, this is not a trivial matter......"
Jiang Shenghua smiled bitterly: "Okay, Krugel can apologize alone, there is no need!" ”
Kong Youlin on the side said: "Mr. Minister, in addition to apologizing to you, Mr. President still has something I would like to consult your opinion......
"Oh?"
Jiang Shenghua looked over and asked, "Mr. President, is there anything you want to consult me?" To be honest, I'm not particularly good at politics......"
Martinas laughed and said, "Of course it's not a political matter, this time I'm asking you about military issues." ”
Jiang Shenghua raised his eyebrows and replied: "Mr. President, if there is any problem, just say it, I will naturally do my best to help you......
"Mr. Minister, you and Mr. Kong both mentioned that our Transvaal Republic should have an outlet to the sea, but you have also seen the situation, we are a landlocked country, a landlocked country, where does the seaport come from? So Mr. Kong suggested that if you want to get a seaport, one is to pay for a piece of land to connect to the Transvaal Republic, and the other is to obtain a seaport through war, but we don't have no money, the closest place to the coast of the Transvaal is also hundreds of kilometers, where can we afford to buy such a large land? And people may not be willing to sell it; If we start a war, the Zulu people in our southeast are all natives, but these people will not die if they fight, we lack a strong army, and we lack strong weapon support, how can we defeat others and grab land? Mr. Minister, look ......"
Martinas asked abruptly.
Jiang Shenghua frowned and replied, "Mr. President, you want to start a war with the Zulus?" ”
Kryugel replied: "Mr. Minister, to tell you the truth, our relationship with the Zulus has always been tense, there are constant frictions, and there are often small battles, if we have enough strength, we really want to wipe them all out, the Zulus are natural enemies of us!" ”
Jiang Shenghua nodded and replied: "Since it is a natural opponent, it is only a matter of time before a war breaks out, but it is not an easy thing to take down the Zulu Kingdom, and you can't rush it......"
"That's nature!"
Martinas replied: "Even if we want to start a war, we must be sure of victory, if it were not for your help, we would have a problem with self-preservation, where would we have the strength to destroy the Zulu Kingdom?" ”
"Mr. President, it's not impossible, you know, once your country and the Orange Free State really merge, your strength will be greatly improved, if you can admit blacks again, your strength will be much stronger, and if you have our help, it is entirely possible to occupy the Zulu kingdom in the next few years!"
