"boom!"
After a gunshot, accompanied by the barking of hounds, a group of hounds ran into the distance like lightning, and soon caught a hare in their mouths.
After ejecting the bullet casing from the shotgun, Emperor Zhu Da put the shotgun on his arm and continued walking forward, talking as he walked.
"Negotiation is simply unrealistic. The Boers may be arrogant or proud, but they have overlooked one point... The British Empire is also arrogant and proud. Even the dignity of the empire will not tolerate them sitting at the negotiating table after failure.
superior!"
Ordinary people cannot understand this kind of dignity at all, but only imperialists can deeply understand imperialists. On this point, Emperor Zhu Da can understand the British. Of course, their positions are different, but they
But there are also some common positions and viewpoints.
And this understanding is based on this foundation.
"Whether the Boers take the initiative to attack or gain a temporary advantage on the battlefield, the British will only intensify their efforts to put more troops on the battlefield, and may even continue to attack with overwhelming force until the goal is achieved. After all, the Empire
...The empire cannot be challenged!"
"This seems to be somewhat similar to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo."
As the associate minister, Fang Zhanbo participated in the compilation of imperial history textbooks. Due to changes in historical views, he re-wrote history including Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo. Therefore, in the history books of the Ming Dynasty, there was no accusation of "
"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's Great Success", but analyzed the inevitability of conquering Goguryeo from the perspective of the threat that Goguryeo posed to the Sui Dynasty's hegemony in Northeast Asia and national security.
"The hegemony of the empire cannot be challenged. If a challenger succeeds, it will only attract thousands of imitators. This is the burden of the empire. In order to avoid being bitten by a pack of wolves, the safest choice for the empire is to destroy the empire at all costs.
A challenger bites it into pieces to warn other ambitious challengers that in this world of jungle, this is the only way to survive!"
When he said these words, Emperor Zhu Da sighed inexplicably in his heart. Why did he sigh? To put it bluntly, it was because one day, the empire would take over from Britain and establish its own world hegemony. By that time, the burden of the empire would be the same.
It will also appear in the Empire, and by that time, the role will have changed.
This is the inevitable development of history. Today, the empire can try its best to bleed the British. In the future, there may be other opponents who will use the same method to make fuss about the Ming Empire and use the must-fight places of the empire to amplify the blood of the Ming Empire.
ah!
"Your Majesty, the British and the Boers are now continuing to pursue their respective South African policies through economic and diplomatic means, but they have failed to work. In order to remove obstacles and achieve their goals, both sides seem determined to resort to war. There has been an ongoing dispute between the British and the Boers.
The situation is tense and confrontational. Now that Milner has taken office, the situation will be further tense. Although there is news that Milner and Kruger will hold a negotiation on the issue of aliens in Bloemfontein in June. But the issue of aliens,
Tariff issues, railway issues, these are simply unsolvable issues. I believe that the war between the two countries has only happened in the last month or two!"
"It should be summer!"
Emperor Zhu thought for a while and then said.
"A glimmer of hope! For Kruger and other Boers, taking the initiative and using military victory to force Britain to make concessions at the negotiating table is their only glimmer of hope. Therefore, the Boers will definitely go to war. The current negotiations,
It's just Kruger being cowardly and trying his best to delay time. Because the Boer militia cannot fight without horses, and horses cannot fight without grass. It is still winter in South Africa, and there is nothing on the grassland except stones, sand and dry shrubs.
None, even if they have some hay reserves, they are almost exhausted. So they have to wait until September, until the first spring rain falls, and until grass grows in the wilderness of South Africa..."
In war, weather always needs to be taken into consideration, at least in this era. In fact, even 100 years later, history will also tell people that weather is also one of the main reasons that determines the final outcome of a war.
After a pause, Emperor Zhu Da said again.
"One year, from the Johnson incident last year to this summer, the Boers have been preparing for a full year. They have almost completed the preliminary preparations. The rest depends on what reason they choose to start the war."
To start a war...what reason is needed?
For Emperor Zhu Da, all this is not important at all. The only important thing is that the empire will stick to its position-fight to the last Boer!
When this idea came to his mind, Emperor Zhu Da saw a sika deer appearing in front of him. He immediately loaded two rounds of buckshot and then aimed at the sika deer. The sun shone on the deer. Looking at the deer, his lips
The horn raised slightly, and then the trigger was pulled.
The moment the gunshot fell, the deer fell down, and Fang Zhanbo immediately complimented.
"Your Majesty, you have good marksmanship."
While the hounds were barking and running towards the prey, an idea suddenly came to Emperor Zhu Da's mind - if the British lose their deer, the whole world will chase them away.
…
Almost every day is a countdown. For the senior officials of the empire, whether they are civil servants or military generals, they are preparing for war every day, paying attention to when the war in southern Africa will break out, and making timely announcements.
fire.
Of course, for the vast majority of ordinary people, they are still enjoying peace and a prosperous life under the empire. War... war seems to be still far away from them. As for the tensions in Africa, there is no such thing at all.
People will care about it.
However, even so, there are still a very small number of people in some factories in the empire who are aware of the threat of war.
"Could it be that a war is about to break out?"
Once again, Cheng Tianyu was there looking at the factory's first quarter production report.
As an engineer, he can see from the report that the factory's output has been increasing since the fourth quarter of last year, and now the production scale has more than doubled.
"It's overproduction right now."
"What?"
The colleague was surprised, so Cheng Tianyu replied.
"I'm talking about the output of our factory. Our designed output is 300,000 rounds of rifle ammunition per day. In the first and second quarters of last year, we just maintained normal output. Look at it now. It has not only exceeded the designed output, but even exceeded the designed output in the first and second quarters of last year.
Night shifts began to be added in the fourth quarter, and the current daily output is... 600,000 rounds."
"Didn't I say it, it's a normal update of the ammunition depot. Anyway, I think this is a good thing for us. The factory's production has increased, and everyone's income has also increased a lot. This is a good thing,"
"Good thing... I hope."
Cheng Tianyu said while drinking coffee,
Coffee smells fragrant and tastes bitter, but people who are used to drinking it don't care about this. But that's not what he cares about at this time. As an engineer, he may not think about this issue further, but
One thing that is certain is that he was vaguely aware of the danger.
Danger, what kind of danger will it be?
Cheng Tianyu doesn't know, maybe, this is an intuition...
