Chapter 1296 International Volunteers (Third update, please subscribe)
In a war, politicians provide ammunition, the rich provide food, and the poor provide children! When the war is over, politicians take back the remaining ammunition, the rich grow more food, and the poor can only look for their children's graves.
On the way out of the Republic of South Africa, Ma Rulong could not help but think of such a sentence. Where did the somewhat meaningless words come from?
Ma Rulong didn't know clearly, but he felt that this sentence didn't seem entirely correct. At least in his opinion, in this war, it was not the South African politicians who provided ammunition, but the empire.
The Boers who fought for the freedom of South Africa had no idea that they were strategic tools of the empire. They seemed to be fighting for South Africa, but in fact?
Ma Rulong, who was sitting in the car, just looked at this vast land. Suddenly, an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart.
Although he knew nothing about the future of this war, he could foresee the future of these Boers. They would die... many of them would die. This was their fate.
What did they die for?
For whom does the bell toll?
As the car drove on the vast and wild land of South Africa, staring at the land outside the window, Ma Rulong's mood was complicated. He was not sad for the future of the Boers, but for this land.
Even for this world, everything seems to prove to him the fact that this is a world where the weak eat the strong. In this world, all the weak are not only meat in the mouths of the strong, but also tools of the strong.
.
Tool man...
In fact, for the weak, sometimes it is not a lucky thing to be the tool of the strong, because at least they have the value of utilization, so that they can become the food of the strong.
At this time, you can express your voice, instead of being like meat on the board, without any room for resistance.
In this world, the fate of the weak has long been doomed, but with the help of the strong, they are able to resist another strong person.
Of course, sometimes, even if this world is a world of jungle, there are still some people who are noble, who sympathize with the weak in their bones, or are hostile to the British. When the Boers were fighting for their country, people from Europe
Volunteers from all over the country rushed to help the Boer Republic. Those volunteers believed that the British actions in South Africa were an act of aggression and violation of the sovereignty of an independent country. The Boer people's struggle against British aggression aroused the sympathy of the majority of people in Europe. After the war broke out,
The newspaper called for those who wanted to sign up to volunteer and travel to South Africa to help the Boers defend their independence.
To everyone's surprise, the largest number of volunteers from Europe were not the Irish who were hostile to Britain, but the Russians, or in other words, the Romans.
Before the war broke out, hundreds of Romans traveled thousands of miles to South Africa, and the vast majority of them were imperial nobles.
"Gentlemen, I don't need to waste too many words. We are here to fight the British. Many of us have grandfathers, fathers, and even brothers who died in Crimea and the British.
Under the gun, now is the time for blood to be tasted..."
As the commander of the Roman Volunteer Corps, Fyodor Guchkov looked at the nearly two hundred subordinates of various ages in front of him. If they were in Rome, these people could command hundreds of thousands of troops - among them,
The vast majority of them are from noble backgrounds, and now they have come to South Africa as volunteers. They are here not so much to fight for the Boers as to fight against the British.
Hatred!
Russians will always hold grudges. They will never forget their fathers’ experience of hating Crimea. Of course, they will also never forget how the British stood on the side of Turkey and tried to stop them from attacking Turkey again and again.
War, preventing them from restoring the glory of the Roman Empire.
Even Fyodor Guchkov himself was the brother of the aristocratic politician Alexander Guchkov of the Roman Empire... he was also a noble.
Although Fyodor was very young, because he was the first Roman to arrive in South Africa, he naturally became the captain.
"Haha, Fyodor, now is the time for us to make the British pay with blood. I heard that the British are planning a counterattack. They have transferred tens of thousands of people from India. If we win, the entire Constantine
The castle will sing our victory..."
Whether they are older people or young people, when the words of the deputy captain Massimov fell, they were all full of longing for all that. While they were cheering "Ula" there, not far away, Sun Tzu
Yi Zheng silently checked the weapons, and most of the comrades around him did the same. Unlike the Roman volunteers who had as many as two hundred people, who had "many soldiers and generals", the Ming Dynasty volunteers only had a hundred people, but Sun Zi Yi's identity was not simple either.
, he is the eldest son of the Imperial Army General Xing'an Hou Sun Hu. His purpose of coming here is very simple, just to... fight the British.
"Captain, look at those Russians..."
Li Guoen looked at the Russian and said softly.
"I checked their identities. There were 193 noble children among them, and two others were unidentified. However, according to others, they may have come from the Roman royal family, and were the descendants of one or two grand dukes.
The heir is almost a prince."
Li Guoen is the staff officer of the Imperial Volunteer Detachment, but in fact he is an agent of the Imperial Investigation Bureau. He came here to collect all kinds of intelligence.
"It seems that within Rome, hostility towards the British is widespread among the upper echelons of Rome?"
Putting the rifle aside, Sun Ziyi said.
"If that's the case, it's definitely good news."
"That's for sure. Although the Roman Empire did not directly intervene in this war, it is known that a large number of Russian volunteers participated in the Anglo-Boer War, and their number was still the largest. I heard that in Constantinople, there were people flying every day
The ship left there, entered the imperial colony, and came here to become a volunteer. The hatred between Rome and Britain was huge..."
"Um……"
Squinting his eyes and looking at the future young backbones of the Roman Empire, Sun Tzu Yi said.
"Hate does not necessarily fade away with time. Few Romans will forget Crimea and the blood shed by their fathers there. They will always need to repay the debt owed by the British...
"
Debts owed must always be paid, no matter when.
Why are you guys so interested in killing eagles and eating meat? To put it bluntly, it’s because everyone is full of hatred for Britain. After all, no matter what era you are in, the boss will always attract hatred.
The hatred in the past has made some people full of hostility towards Britain, which is why volunteers from all over the world appeared in Boer. There may be internationalist fighters among them, but the largest number are those who harbor hatred against Britain, such as
Britain has a blood feud with the Russians...
