Chapter 81： messenger from europe
The Transvaal Republic, the capital city of Pretoria.
Martinus Pretorius entered the hall, just glanced at him lazily, closed his eyes again, but did not speak, but a guy next to him who looked like his brain, jumped out and yelled loudly. : "Boldly, when you meet the head of our Transvaal Republic, you can't give a big gift?"
Venus, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Martinas, who was standing on the sidelines with cold eyes, and the old **** was sitting there, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, and said in his heart: "Well, you Martinas, you are still pretending to be in front of me at this time. This is indifferent. I kindly come to put out the fire for you. Should you beg me, or am I begging you? You don't even know the priority, and you still want to wait for me to give you a big gift? The second minister of the foreign ministry of the motherland came to give you this unrecognized head of state? Crazy?"
Although he was not angry, but the important thing was the most important thing, he still managed to suppress his anger, put his hands on each other to Martinas, who was sitting high, and after giving a greeting, said neither arrogantly nor humble: "I am the second seat of the local diplomacy. The minister, whose name is Venus, has come to meet the chief of the South African immigrants in the Netherlands."
Martinas remained motionless, but the guy snorted coldly again and asked with his nostrils turned upside down: "It is said that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has never treated us as compatriots, and now I see that we have won many victories in the fight against the United Kingdom. , but the Dutch side has been repeatedly defeated by the United Kingdom, the hometown of the Netherlands, do you want to ask us for help? As for what Minister Nader said to help the Transvaal Republic to tide over the difficulties, we are a little curious about the Netherlands, which cannot protect itself. The kingdom, the kingdom of the Netherlands, which cannot stand up to the British, has any qualifications to help us, and now it has come to visit with a ridiculous reason to rescue us.”
When Venus saw that this person despised the kingdom of the Netherlands so much, how could he not be angry, but he knew that he was here, but he didn't come to fight with someone like him. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and clenched his fists deeply. After taking two breaths of the dry air in South Africa, he said aloud the calculated words in his heart.
"This one, don't you know what position you hold now?"
"I don't dare to be. Now I am Nader, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Transvaal. I am half a level higher than you. I am the positive, and you are the deputy."
Venus said to Martinas: "The leader moved forward to fortify the wall and clear the country, and then sent a letter to the Orange Free State to form an alliance to disperse the British garrison, which made this time successful. The First World War made the Transvaal. The Republic is famous all over the world. However, the leader knows that the Transvaal Republic is about to suffer, and to be precise, you high-level officials may be cleared by the British.”
After Venus finished speaking, seeing Martinas open his eyes, although he didn't speak, he showed a little pride. With his mouth open, he glanced at Nader outside, and coughed lightly. Nader glanced back at him, then looked at Venus with a quick brick, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Such nonsense, although Your Excellency is from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, if you speak rudely again, be careful that we will no longer welcome you. visit."
"The leader doesn't believe it?" Venus asked indifferently.
Martinas gave him a heavy look, but then he didn't speak.
Venus did not wait for the guy named Nader to speak, and said to himself:
"The British are huge and powerful, their navy is even more unparalleled in the world, supplemented by the most developed economy in Europe, and many colonies continue to provide them with resources for their development. The military economy is unrivaled in the world. In such a country, does the Transvaal Republic have the certainty that it can continue to win like this?"
Before Venus could finish speaking, Nader jumped out again and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, so what? The ones sent by the United Kingdom are just a group of people who are defeated by South African countries, even if it is once again. To send, in our opinion, is just a joke."
Seeing Martinas' face darkened, the so-called foreign minister named Nader shut up for a while.
Obviously, despite being tough on the tongue, he has been under the shadow of British rule all the year round. Venus seized on this point, first pryed open the hesitation hidden in their hearts, and then slowly found what they wanted and bargained for a price. , so as soon as he completes his mission across the ocean from the Netherlands, success is imminent.
Sure enough, it was the existence of a local official ministerial level. Martinas glanced at Nader, who had followed him for many years, and secretly thought in his heart: Without formal training, he still lacks a lot, especially in temperament. Qualifications for the position.
In the end, Martinas finally spoke, and he said slowly, "I don't know what the minister means by saying that?"
I finally opened your mouth, as long as you open your mouth, you will slowly enter my trap! "
Venus paused for a while, seeing Martinas leaning slightly with his eyes open, knowing that he was listening carefully, he smiled in his heart, and said directly: "After our assessment, the Transvaal Republic now has 20,000 troops, plus Orange 10,000, a total of 30,000 troops, the British originally had 11,000, and then only 7,000, and now they have been crippled and abolished. Now there are only 15,000 in Port Elizabeth and 10,000 in East London, a total of 2. 5,000 men. You are more than 5,000 men than the British army.”
Seeing the smug expressions on their faces, Venus said, "But I just got the news that the Queen of England has signed a new order to mobilize the army."
what!
Martinas stood up in shock when he heard the words.
The man named Nader opened his mouth even more and said incredulously, "Again?"
"Yes, just two days ago, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom lost all face because the South African military situation here was defeated twice, so the United Kingdom sent 50,000 troops again, and the local situation is still gathering more troops for this purpose, preparing The intention of the United Kingdom to make a substitute is very obvious, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in the heart if it does not take you down and take revenge."
Venus didn't even look at the foreign secretary whose face changed drastically, and continued: "I don't need to say more about the strength of the UK, I don't think anyone knows that since it won our kingdom of the Netherlands more than 100 years ago, the UK has Wars with other countries are almost always won.
However, he has a small population and his stall is too large, so he doesn't care much in some places, and South Africa is such a place.
Now, with everyone's help, I finally help them turn their attention back here, then just like poking a hornet's nest, the British army will send troops here in an endless stream.
There are more than 30 million people in the UK, but how many people are there in the Republic of Transvaal and how many people are there in the Republic of the Orange Free State? How many people are there in the Zulu Kingdom?
As long as the British play a game that the whole people can participate in and play it one-on-one, even if the Three Kingdoms are great again, how can the Three Kingdoms with less than 1 million compete against the United Kingdom?
What's more, with the previous two failures, this time the UK will not take the risk again to seek success. I think if I were the commanding officer of the British army, I would lead the British army and may choose a strategy of cannibalizing step by step.
Moreover, the Mozambique Strait and the coastal waters of southern Africa are completely blocked at sea, and all the land is pushed forward until it reaches the capitals of various countries. At that time, other countries in the Transvaal Republic will be due to food shortages and because of the repair of firearms. There are no parts, and the ammunition is exhausted. At that time, I think everyone, you should know what the consequences will be.”
When Venus finished speaking, the expressions of the two people in front of him changed greatly. It has to be said that Venus spoke to their deepest fear.
As the rulers, they are naturally very familiar with the one-third of an acre in their hands.
People are right, they are very clear that blocking British rule will not work, especially Martinas, his father, the founding leader of the Transvaal Republic, Andres Pretorius, shook his head and smiled wryly. As I said, if he could not stop the British attack, he would choose to surrender, in order to slowly try to restore it in the future. The second way is to return to the Netherlands and ask the Pretorius family to live long and prosperous.
As if seeing through Martinas' heart Venus sincerely persuaded: "In this situation, there is absolutely no room for manoeuvre, the British may let other people go, But as the head of the Three Kingdoms who initiated the act, one is clever, I don't think you will think that you and the family behind you will have a good end."
"So what, can the Netherlands still help me resist Britain?"
When Martinas looked at Venus, he sneered.
However, in Venus' view, it is a kind of expectation and desire.
"It's impossible for the Netherlands alone, but what about France and Prussia?" Venus said inscrutable.
"Of course they can, but these two will risk turning against the British to join us against the UK?"
Nader interjected in disbelief.
Obviously, his question asked Martinas what was in his heart, so he smiled at him.
Venus said confidently: "There is nothing impossible in this world, don't forget, the two countries have fewer overseas colonies than the United Kingdom, and now the Transvaal Republic is one and two. best chance for a country to intervene in southern Africa?”
"What does the Transvaal Republic have to do with them?"
Nader asked in confusion.
"Have you two forgotten the national composition of the Transvaal Republic?"
Martinas was stunned, and Nader was even more astonished.
Yup!
The Transvaal Republic has a population of 300,000 and the Orange Free State 100,000, but compared to the Orange Free State, 95% of the people are Dutch, and the country where the pure-bred Dutch form the cabinet is also pure-bred Protestant.
The Transvaal Republic has too many ethnic components.
As for the Republic of the Orange Free State...
Martinus Pretorius entered the hall, just glanced at him lazily, closed his eyes again, but did not speak, but a guy next to him who looked like his brain, jumped out and yelled loudly. : "Boldly, when you meet the head of our Transvaal Republic, you can't give a big gift?"
