Chapter 1311 Jackal attacks (first update, please subscribe)
Who is the common enemy?
Of course it’s the UK!
Being the boss will always attract hatred.
And for the Second French Empire, Britain was a mortal enemy.
This is not due to historical reasons, nor is it due to conflicts of interest. It is because the British murdered their emperor. Of course, this is still a top secret that only a few people know until now, but Claude is also one of the insiders.
.
If the Ming Dynasty wanted to "kill the eagle and eat its flesh", then France was eager to eat its bones.
In order to take revenge, the French are of course willing to bear any price.
It's just a piece of land that belongs to France's sphere of influence, and it's not worth mentioning at all. France's previous attitude was purely for face, but now for revenge, France is naturally willing to pay some price.
Of course, this does not mean that Russia does not need to pay a price. As a price for France's recognition of Russia's occupation of the Juno Bay area, the Roman Empire needs to pay France 3 million gold rubles to purchase the area known as "
Djibouti” land.
After the diplomats of the two countries reached a consensus in China, the Roman Empire readily signed the contract and paid the money. For the Roman Empire, the acquisition of Juno Bay not only meant that they had obtained an African colony, but more importantly
Yes, they got a stronghold to march into the Indian Ocean. With this stronghold on the east coast of Africa, they would have a transshipment base, and the Roman Empire would have a reliable port to facilitate sailing from the mainland to India and even beyond the Pacific Ocean.
This also means that the polar bear's paws have finally reached the Indian Ocean.
Although the behavior of this polar bear posed a threat to Britain, for the British who were deeply involved in the Anglo-Boer War, they simply couldn't care about it at the moment.
"I will do my best to end this war and let the glory of the British Empire shine on that fertile soil again."
At Khartoum Railway Station, Gordon, the "Conqueror of Sudan," said this solemnly to the officials who came to see him off.
For Gordon, who successfully conquered Sudan and suppressed the "Mahdi Uprising", he was confident enough to complete this mission.
Even as he boarded the train to Port Sudan, Gordon couldn't help but imagine how he would become the "Conqueror of South Africa" for himself.
"...First of all, we need a lot of machine guns."
On the speeding train, Gordon said directly to the accompanying officer Charlie.
"At least 500 machine guns need to be purchased, whether they are Ten-year-type or Maxim. With them, we will definitely win the war."
Why is Gordon so confident?
Because he conquered Sudan with machine guns. Those fanatical Mahdi rebels may be fanatical, but in front of machine guns, their fanaticism is simply not worth mentioning. It can even be said that they are simply sending themselves to death.
It is precisely because of the successful use of machine guns in Sudan that Gordon has confidence in machine guns.
"Then there are mortars. We still need more mortars..."
While Gordon was planning his conquest on the train, what he didn't know was that he had already been blacklisted by the South African Secret Intelligence Service.
"We have to kill him!"
In the office of the South African Secret Intelligence Service in Pretoria, Wang Jingchu looked at Williams in front of him and said.
"For your country, Gordon is an extremely serious threat. When he comes here, he will definitely use his experience in suppressing rebellions in Sudan to South Africa, and it is very likely that he will bring you an unprecedented blow. Therefore,
It is necessary for the Intelligence Bureau to get rid of him before he can play any role."
The South African Secret Intelligence Service was an agency established before the outbreak of the Boer War. It was not only engaged in intelligence collection, but also provided a large number of weapons to the Boers in the Cape Colony before the outbreak of the war. Now the Boer guerrillas in the colony are
, most of them are under his command.
And Williams is its creator.
"I think so."
Williams nodded and said.
"But how are we going to get rid of him? Major, he is the governor and it is almost impossible for him to appear on the battlefield. We can't go to Cape Town and kill that guy."
"Why not?"
Wang Jingchu said directly.
"Sir, I think we can make a plan."
…
Late at night, a figure was walking on the dim streets of Cape Town. Wearing a pair of old black leather shoes, old trousers and an open-collar shirt, the jackal looked no different from the ordinary white workers near the dock. The only difference was that
He was holding a suitcase in his hand.
Soon, he came to a building, and then directly to the door of a room on the top floor. He took out the key from under the footrest, then opened the door, entered the room, and immediately locked the door.
"This is it."
Looking at the dock outside the window through the curtains, Jackal said to himself.
Half a month ago, he was a sniper on the front line, shooting down British men on the battlefield, sending one after another to see God.
And now? He has transformed into an ordinary person and arrived in Cape Town. Like many people who have just arrived, he seems to be a little down and out.
Of course, he came here not to enjoy life, but to complete a task.
After drawing the curtains, Jackal put the suitcase on the ground, and then took out a box from the closet. In the box was a weapon prepared for him - a Webster 100 shotgun, which was produced in
Daming Beihai's shotguns are world-famous for their accurate shooting. Equipped with a 4x sight produced by Phoenix Optical Instruments, they can even accurately hit targets 1,000 meters away.
"This is the best rifle ever."
When picking up the rifle, he took out a box of Brown Bear brand 7.5mm bullets. This bullet is different from ordinary bullets. Its warhead is made of pure copper, and its accuracy is much higher than ordinary bullets. It is the same as Webster 100 bullets.
The shotgun goes perfectly together.
"Only two bullets are needed at most..."
Two bullets are enough. For an excellent hunter, two bullets are sometimes a waste. After all, when hunting, even one more bullet is a waste, especially on the South African plateau.
A bullet is expensive, and like all Boers, Jackal has long since developed good marksmanship.
This is even the reason why he is called "Jackal", because he is a scavenger on the grassland.
Once again, the jackal stood by the window. He stared at the port through the window slit, and then sat there, just like he used to hunt on the prairie, quietly waiting for the prey to appear.
