The militia group assembled in western Orange is centered on former Boer coalition generals such as Schalk Biegel, Byers, Kemp and others.
After the establishment of the federal government, these people were excluded from the Ministry of Defense because of Roque's insistence, and were unable to get involved in the core of rights in southern Africa.
Compared with their previous power, this result is undoubtedly unacceptable to them. They are also the core of the "old republicans". Their core demand is to get rid of the rule of the federal government and restore the independent status of the Boer country.
If they only ask for Orange, then Roque doesn't care. Independence is independence. Roque is actually upset when he forces these people to stay in the federal government. It's better to confine them to Orange to fend for themselves.
However, among the demands of the "old republicans", the Transvaal was also a core interest and its status was even more important than Orange, which Roque could not accept.
The Transvaal State is the largest Chinese gathering area outside of Nyasaland. Even if the Transvaal did not have the Rand mining area, Rock would not give up the Transvaal to the Boers.
Therefore, unlike Ade, the conflict between Rock and the Boers is irreconcilable.
"Another brigade has been added to Kronstad. Our current strength is simply unable to invade the Transvaal. There is no news from Southwest Africa yet. Do you need to send someone to contact us?" Byers, the former deputy commander of the Boer coalition forces, is already full.
He has white hair. His leg was injured during the Boer War and his recovery was incomplete. He needs crutches to walk normally.
"It's useless. The Sixth Division is in Macron and the Eleventh Division is in Askham. Even if Southwest Africa wants to provide us with support, we can't reach it. Locke is forcing us to go to Cape. It's so cruel. Let's
We will die together with the Cape people, and then the Chinese will be able to successfully occupy Orange and the Cape." Former President Schalk Biegel had a sad face, and his whole person was bleak. He saw through Roque's plan, but he
Unable to break the situation.
Just after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, Schalke Biegel sent people to contact Southwest Africa, hoping to get support from Southwest Africa, at least a rifle with a longer range and more power.
Although guns are not banned in name in southern Africa, you can only buy pistols and shotguns in gun stores. Rifles and grenades are prohibited weapons. Don’t even think about more powerful machine guns and mortars, just rely on the militia groups to prepare them yourself.
When it comes to pistols and shotguns, there is no need to think about the consequences. Hitting a stone with an egg does not count.
"Then what are we waiting for? We launch an attack directly on Pretoria. Either we win or die gloriously. It's better than being trapped here eating potatoes." Kemp is a short and stocky young man. Of course, this
"Young" means that compared to Schalk Biegel and Biles, Kemp is now in his forties.
The rapid development of southern Africa has nothing to do with Orange. Orange seems to have been forgotten by the federal government, with little change from when the war just ended ten years ago.
Don’t forget that Bloemfontein is also nominally the capital of the federal government, but there are no buildings over ten floors in the city. Compared with Cape Town and Pretoria, which are full of high-rise buildings, it looks like a countryside.
Needless to say, Cape Town and Pretoria, the two capitals of Southern Africa, are a bit shabby compared to other state capitals. The tallest building in Southern Africa is the South African Company located in Solo.
The 35-story headquarters in Aldsbury is 155 meters high. The tallest building in Nyasaland is the Rand Bank headquarters in Little Rock. Although it has only 22 floors, its height reaches an astonishing 130 meters.
In Port Edward, the Los Angeles Building, the headquarters of Nyasaland Agricultural Company under construction, has 56 floors. When completed, it will reach a height of 245 meters, making it the tallest building in the world.
Skyscrapers represent the height of a country or economic development. Building skyscrapers requires not only strong economic strength, but also advanced technological levels. The higher the building, the more prosperous the economy, the more developed science and technology, and it will also become a landmark of the city.
architecture.
The United States used to love building buildings the most. The Woolworth Building just completed this year is now the tallest building in the world, with 55 floors and 230 meters. However, this record will not last long. It will be broken by the Los Angeles Tower next year. Los Angeles
The meaning of the building is Rock's City, and Los Angeles is also another name for Little Rock. One is a transliteration, and the other is a literal translation. The transliteration is actually better, which is really amazing.
None of these buildings have anything to do with Orange. Not to mention the buildings, Orange is just at a state of subsistence and clothing. As a result, as the militias gather together, even food cannot be guaranteed, and Kemp and Schalk Biegel have to eat potatoes.
Looking at it this way, Orange did have a reason to rebel.
"Don't give up, we still have hope." Schalk Biegel insisted. His hope was the Boer troops among the conscripts. There were about 30,000 Boer soldiers in the twelve divisions in southern Africa, less than two
division.
Schalk Biegel hoped that these Boer conscripts would voluntarily give up their service to the federal government and join the ranks of the rebels to strive for the independent status of the Boers.
This is very possible in Schalk Biegel's opinion. The Ministry of National Defense currently has officers in contact with Southwest Africa, and Schalk Biegel also knows this.
While Schalke Biegel and Kemp were eating potatoes, 300 kilometers away in Askham, officers and soldiers of the 11th Division were conducting patriotic education.
Don’t think that imperialism doesn’t carry out patriotic education. Just like the British Expeditionary Force shouted three cheers before turning off the lights at night, patriotic education in southern Africa is also ubiquitous, and now more and more of it is based on southern Africa.
The patriotic education in Africa is mainly focused on, and the patriotic education on the British Empire is gradually diluted.
Troops in southern Africa have half an hour to study after dinner. Usually this half hour is used to learn culture, learn first aid in the field, and recite military regulations and disciplines. Patriotism education has increased significantly during this period.
"I came to southern Africa with my father ten years ago. I lived in Brest, France. If I followed the choice of most French people, I should go to North Africa or the French East Indies in the Far East, but my father was tired of it.
I left this country. My grandfather died in the Franco-Prussian War. After the war, he did not receive the full pension promised by the government. My father was a dock worker in Brest. He started working at five o'clock every morning and could not return until ten o'clock in the evening.
"My mother has to take care of our family of six. Due to long-term malnutrition, one of my brothers and one of my sisters did not have the chance to grow up." In the barracks of the first platoon of the third company of the second battalion of the Douglas Rifle Regiment, Private Green was speaking out.
There are eight place names out of ten in southern Africa. Douglas is as common as Elizabeth and Edward. In many cases, the place name is the surname of the first family to settle there. The Douglas where Green is located is Douglas of Orange. Their group
The membership was a bit mixed, with soldiers not only from Orange, but also from the Transvaal and Natal.
"When we came to southern Africa, our family had a farm and our own house. Finally, I no longer had to squeeze into a bed of only 1.5 square meters with my brother. My brother and I joined the army. My brother has now retired and joined the army.
The umbrella went to the Sinai Peninsula, my sister graduated from medical school in Johannesburg and now works at the Shiwei Hospital in Pretoria, and my father finally got his long-awaited Shire horse, which he rode every day and led three
The hounds went hunting. My mother is still worried about what to eat every night, but it is not because there is no food, but because there is too much food. My father can't finish all the prey, so he can only eat the ones that are about to rot first, so my father
"Always complaining," Green said in an emotional voice, with red circles in his eyes as he spoke.
"I cherish everything I have now. My mother always said thank God. I didn't mean it blasphemy. I used to beg God to make our life better as soon as possible. Now I don't think so. To have everything now,
It is my own efforts and that of my family. I thank the federal government, and I also thank God. If anyone wants to destroy my current life, I will kill him at all costs, even if I die with him." Green said categorically that no one would
will doubt his determination.
"Green, you are not alone. We will fight with you and kill all the enemies!" Someone responded immediately, and the soldiers were excited, including Germans and Boers.
Everyone knows that the "enemy" here refers to the Germans, or all potential enemies.
However, in southern Africa, it is now forbidden to use clearly directional nouns such as "Germans", and only "enemy" is allowed, so Germans and Boers will not feel offended.
"Soldiers, we not only have to face enemies abroad now, but domestic enemies are also ready to move. They may be our neighbors, our friends, or even our family members. We must be mentally prepared. Now
If anyone wants to avoid this war, then register with me. Don't worry, even if someone registers, you will not be specially targeted. The Lord will transfer you to other less sensitive areas, such as going to Port Edward to work as a marine police, or
We are going to the Sinai Peninsula to ride camels." Company Commander Richard is a Chinese who has just graduated from the Nyasaland Army Academy. He is wearing a well-fitting 1910-style military uniform. In addition to wearing a silver second lieutenant rank on his shoulders, the style and texture of the clothing
They are no different from ordinary soldiers.
"Mr. Second Lieutenant, I am of Boer origin. I know our next mission, but don't worry, I will not back down, let alone register. Not all Boers collude with the enemy. I am first of all a southern African.
Then there are the Boers." Sergeant Victor's speech immediately received a burst of warm applause, and many Boer and German soldiers burst into tears with excitement. In fact, there is no clear national concept in this era. The Boers themselves are the endowment of the times.
A term that does not have a deep-rooted cultural tradition like the Chinese.
