In the evening, the northern plateau of southern Africa is immersed in the dazzling golden afterglow of the setting sun.
I don't know why, but it always seems to give people a feeling of loneliness.
In the desert grasslands at dusk, people can always hear footsteps in the night, as if beasts like lions are gradually approaching. In this complete silence, suddenly the roar of a series of engines breaks the tranquility of the grasslands.
Team!
A long convoy of vehicles broke into this wild land, and the convoy of hundreds of trucks broke the silence of this land. The convoy coming from nowhere raised large amounts of dust on the grassland,
The beasts began to flee one after another amidst the roar of the convoy.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Jensen cast his gaze into the distance from time to time. Finally, when he was approaching the border, he made a gesture and said.
"parking!"
Soon the motorcade stopped, and finally Jason stood next to the car, holding a map in his hand and looking ahead. After a while, when James came over, he said.
"Mr. James, we will enter the Transvaal 10 miles further. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we will wait until dark before entering. Do you think it is okay?"
"Jason, I said that this operation is under your command, I am just assisting you."
James knew his position very well. Perhaps he was nominally in charge of this operation, but the actual operation should be directed by Jensen. After all, Jensen was a soldier, and he also planned the location of the operation.
Maybe they are all senior employees of the company, but on the battlefield bullets will not avoid them because they are senior employees. In this case, whether for themselves or for the success of the operation, they must be commanded by experienced people.
.
"Then let's wait until after dark before taking action!"
Jason held the map and said to James.
"Mr. James, you see, after dark, our convoy can drive directly into Pretoria under the cover of night, and then occupy their presidential palace and arrest their officials.
Occupy this place before the Boers mobilize..." When he said these words, Jensen seemed to see the scene of occupying Pretoria. By that time, he would have George Jensen become all
Newspaper heroes.
The whole of London will talk about his glorious victory. Everyone will talk about his legendary victory. He will become a hero for the whole of Britain. There have been no heroes in Britain for a long time. Since the Napoleonic Wars, there have been several more
The British once gave Britain a legendary victory.
By that time, he will definitely succeed!
There is no doubt about this.
Of course, in addition to this, he will also gain wealth - not just the high remuneration given to him by the company, but more importantly, he will become the most senior among senior employees, not only receiving a high salary every year
, and even shares in the company.
That poor boy from England will become a real rich man!
Like the rich people he envied when he was a child, he will move into a high-end neighborhood in London to live with the object of his envy. He will even marry an aristocratic lady. Who knows? There are many aristocrats who only have one title left.
Pauper, it is true that he was a poor boy in the past, but now... no, it should be said that in the near future, he, Jason, will definitely become a rich man.
More than an hour later, night fell, and when the grassland was shrouded in twilight, the motorcade set off again. As the motorcade drove towards the goal, James's lips slightly raised, and he looked at the stars and moon in the sky with a smile on his face.
With a smile.
It seems that everyone desires success and fame.
In fact, this is probably the most common vision of ordinary people. What do ordinary people pursue?
It was never a grand ambition, but the most ordinary promotion and salary increase, well, and marrying Bai Fumei. As for other wishes, I just waited until the two came true before I thought about it...
Under the cover of twilight, the convoy drove like this on the open grassland. The 1,500 mining company policemen and black mercenaries on board were all holding their guns and letting the convoy take them into the unknown world.
Although some people seemed a little nervous, as Jensen said, on the prairie at night, no one would notice the existence of the convoy at all, let alone the indigenous people who did not know what a car was, even the Bulls
Farmers, after nightfall, will stay at home after a day's work. As long as they deliberately avoid Boer villages, they don't need to worry about encountering Boers at all. After all, there are few people on the prairie.
Will come out at night.
The convoy was driving at full speed, with naturally formed roads everywhere on the open grassland. At three o'clock in the morning, a city finally appeared in front of people's eyes.
Pretoria!
The capital of the Transvaal Republic is also the heart of this country. As long as you occupy it, you are equivalent to occupying this country!
Looking at the city in front of him, Jason seemed a little excited. He succeeded!
At this moment, he even saw the goddess of victory lifting her skirt to him, revealing her slender thighs...
Through the dim starlight in the sky, Jason could vaguely see a black line directly ahead - that was the road into the city. He squinted and observed carefully.
"Sure enough, there is no warning as before. The people of the Ming Dynasty are right. As long as they are caught by surprise, there is no need to consider what kind of resistance they may encounter."
There will be no resistance at all, so how could anyone resist?
After all, in such peaceful days, whether they are soldiers or police, most of them are in military camps or police stations, and at most they will encounter a few patrol officers.
"I never thought it would be so easy!"
When he put down the telescope, Jason seemed to have seen his victory, not just victory, but also his legend. Soon, his name was destined to be associated with this city and the British Empire in the 1880s.
The most glorious victories are tied together.
what are you waiting for?
Of course, we had to observe it again. Soon, Jason led a dozen people to line up in a row, quickly passed through the slopes covered with bushes, climbed to the flat top of the highland, and carefully observed the city in the twilight.
.
"Is it going too smoothly?"
Jason suddenly laughed. He seemed to be laughing at his own timidity. It seemed that this was a common problem among winners before victory came. They always worried about what might happen.
