Lieutenant Colonel named McVille is the commander of the South African Federation. Except for five hundred white troops, the rest are all minions, including a five hundred Indian minions and a thousand Black African indigenous minions.
Of course, McVill and the others also knew that their own regular army was just a regular army that had come from the colonial forces, relying on the minion army as cannon fodder. The five hundred people were similar to construction workers, and their combat effectiveness was stronger than the natives, so they didn't dare to follow Henry at all.
The colonel fought for power and accepted the order very cooperatively.
Colonel Henry’s meaning is easy to understand, that is, let the local indigenous servants open the way for their lives and set a safe road for everyone.
As expected, Colonel Henry's approach was recognized by everyone present. After all, in the minds of Europeans in this era, the black African indigenous people were not considered human beings, but just a resource that could be consumed.
Of course John would not, and he would not have any force to pity these natives. Besides, it was not his own choice. He would not be like the Virgins on the Internet in his previous life, pity this and that, but in the end we were cheated by others.
If you bite back, no one will pity us, but you will be more gloating.
As for the issues between Western colonists and the indigenous people of Black Africa, let them fight.
Since the British Army Command agreed to John's proposal without surprise, John did not deliberately make things perfunctory. He directly turned on his spiritual vision and released his spiritual energy and natural breath. Now his strength has increased greatly, and his spiritual energy has been
The mind power can already sense situations within a kilometer of diameter, and can obtain exponential state blessings in various natural environments.
Coupled with the rich natural atmosphere in his body, the forest, which seemed to be full of dangers, is now showing vitality and kindness to him.
"Let's go..."
Without carefully listening to the sound of natural life here, John took the lead in command of the direction with a high spirit, and the one who opened the way in front of him was some dark-skinned local indigenous servants.
Although these indigenous servants holding spears, sticks and machetes seemed a little lazy, they actually didn't think that this kind of open-minded life was to make things difficult for them, because their ancestors lived in this land for generations and had long been used to traveling through the jungle
, hunt and pick in the wild for a living.
Behind are Indian servants holding whistle sticks and carrying old-fashioned flintlock rifles. These Indians with "white cloth" on their heads and exuding curry flavors all over their bodies always like to cheat and play tricks, but their obedience is good. They are Dae-British.
The best Servant Army of the Empire was also staring at the indigenous Servant Army that was opening the way.
The most central part of the team is the white troops of the British and South African Federation.
Of course, the Indian vassals also need to help the white troops transport military supplies. Although the attack on the cannibal tribe was lightly installed due to terrain restrictions, the vassals helped, and the British army could not go up to resist ammunition supply and gun pushing carts by themselves.
of.
In the tropical forest with complex and changing terrain and no clear road was found, thanks to John's guidance, the crusade team was not difficult to move, and compared to the situation before the expedition, it could be said to be relaxed.
.
Colonel Henry happily praised John, the expert.
"This is what I should do. There is still a long way ahead, so I should be more cautious."
John said humbly, and then continued to lead the way.
During this period, because the guns were not allowed to be fired, the indigenous tribes were prepared to hear it. When passing through certain areas, a total of more than a dozen indigenous servants lost their losses due to dangerous situations such as poisonous insects and crocodiles. In response, the British army
The command center is very satisfied.
Because this is much smaller than they imagined, even the natives of the minion army expressed satisfaction. Even those who entered the forest to hunt all year round would lose several people every time. Anyway, the tribe was very good.
To be able to live, this is nothing to them.
If it were a white army, if they encountered such non-combat losses, they would have been excited and shouted that they would return.
After continuing to walk for three kilometers, John suddenly stopped under a big tree beside a stream, reached out to snatch the stream, and leaked most of the sand. Suddenly, three or two shone golden in the sun.
The sand stays in the palm of your hand.
Then John then climbed the canopy more than ten meters high in three or two steps, and then saw a circular area hidden in the dense forest in front of him, like scars.
There were hundreds or thousands of "houses" with wood, hay, leaves and stones, or shacks. The smoke from bonfires was slowly burning in the open space between the shacks, and there were also low-headed browns.
A humanoid creature with black skin is moving.
"That's where?"
John jumped off the big tree neatly, nodded to Colonel Henry who was waiting for the result, and said:
"Col. I think we have arrived. The tribe that Captain Hutches and the others discovered should be ahead."
Colonel Henry, who had seen John's actions before, stomped his feet and asked excitedly:
"Can you see how many enemies are?"
John thought for a while and replied:
"According to my estimate, the approximate number of people in this tribe should be more than a few thousand. Excluding women and children, there are at least one thousand adult soldiers, or even two thousand."
This number did not scare all the officers because they had many combat experience with the colonial natives, who knew that the indigenous people holding cold weapons would usually only be slaughtered in the face of modern thermal weapons forces unless they were in special terrain.
.
Now they are in the dark natives and in the light, the siege team has an advantage, and there is no need to consider the outcome. The only thing they need to consider is how to annihilate as many cannibal natives as possible.
After finishing the battle arrangement, Colonel Henry also came to the stream under the big tree and dug some sand with a saber. Soon, he picked out a golden sand grain the size of a mung bean from it.
"Gentlemen, we are going to get rich!"
The officers, soldiers and even the expedition team were all excited, looking forward with greed.
"These cannibals who should go to hell must destroy them all..."
"Yes, these are not humans, they are all devils. God sent us to eliminate these sins."
...
Although there is a lot of disgust for cannibals, John understands that the biggest factor in mobilizing these people's desire to fight is gold.
After the South African colony was captured by the British, how many officials and nobles had gained weight? Even many soldiers and merchants also made money.
This example has made many people in the UK and abroad envious and red.
The Boer War has not been many years, and an example of getting rich overnight is ahead. How could it not make these soldiers and officers excited?
Although everyone understands that they are the ones who are the most capable of conquering this gold mine in the end, as the contributors, everyone in the soldiers present has a share and can drink a sip of soup. Just seizing the gold that the indigenous people have mined should
It's enough for them to get rich.
In fact, despite John spending money to incite, the British army took action so neatly within a week, because the expedition team brought back the indigenous tribe.
There is a news about a new gold vein.
You should know that if there were other matters, when news spread from Egypt to London, the masters of the parliament would have to argue about it for ten days and a half months. Sometimes it was not uncommon for two or three months to fail to make a comeback.
When the order is ordered to move from London to the South African Federation, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold.
And the reason why this time the reaction was so quickly was that gold was touching. Not only the bosses in London and their families, but also many people within the military hoped to make a fortune like the gold mines that once captured the Boers.
Get rich.
So on the day of confirmation, the news was transmitted to the nearest city on the other side through a cable telegram, and then all the way back to Europe, and then from France to London on the other side.
In the face of interests, the London government rarely showed high efficiency, so nearly a month later, John and his team today.
