Chapter 496: The Power of Tofu Project

France and Russia have begun to move closer, which has also accelerated negotiations between Britain and Austria. In order to increase the right to speak, the British are even preparing to pull the Prussians into the alliance.
There is no doubt that this has been strongly opposed by France and Austria. The cake is so big, the three divisions are already reluctant, how can it be possible to put another competitor in?
If the Kingdom of Prussia joins the alliance, will the Russian Empire also join it? The Russians came in, and the Nordic Federation was ready to enter.
One by one, it won't be long before European countries come in, and this alliance becomes useless.
The troublesome talents of the British have to say, thinking about things all the time. Be an ally with them, and be vigilant at all times. If you accidentally get pitted, this is not much safer than being an enemy.
The changing situation in Europe still affected the South African war. Since the British had reinforced a number of Indian legions, Viscount Fickney's second plan was useless.
Even if the flaws were deliberately revealed, the British did not intend to go out of town to fight decisively. There is no limit to your ever-changing nature, and I mean nothing.
Over time, the population in the Cape Town area has plummeted, war refugees have been transferred by John Bull, and the rest are military.
The British, whose logistical pressure has eased, have not been idle and are stockpiling supplies for the winter, which seems to be a protracted battle.
Up to now, the war has also changed. A group of Indian soldiers and black soldiers are often seen in dogfights, and the British and British armies have become warriors.
Cannon fodder, except for the financial department, no one is distressed. The strategic bankruptcy that originally intended to use cannon fodder forces to increase garrison casualties and force the British to withdraw.
There is no way to consume this, the first thing that cannot be sustained is Austria. Recruiting is difficult and cannon fodder is not enough.
The African continent was originally large and sparsely populated, and the previous immigration strategy led to a decline in the number of indigenous people in the Austrian colonies.
Now that the war has progressed, the colonial government has provided millions of cannon fodder, and almost all the tribes that have been found have been recruited once.
These troops were either lost in the early battles, fell in siege battles, or were executed by the oversight team. The current rate of recruitment is no longer enough to keep up with the front line.
Of course, with such a large number of casualties, the number of deserters in the cannon fodder is naturally not insignificant. South Africa is so large that if you just dig into the forest, it's all a hiding place.
As long as it hid in the mountains, the republican army could not continue to pursue. As long as you don't run in groups, it's easy to hide.
It is needless to say that the harm of the soldier collapse has not yet immigrated to the British South Africa area that has just been occupied, and the victims have naturally become the local indigenous tribes.
The soldiers also need to eat. Although the food in the jungle is abundant, it is not enough to have more soldiers.
There is not enough food, so you can only go out and grab it. Naturally, no one in the Bur Republic army dared to move, holding cold weapons, and ran to rob the modern army, unless it was impossible.
The law of the jungle, weak meat and strong food. The blood mold was reached without a strong indigenous tribe. These deserters did not dare to make trouble when they faced the army of the Boer Republic.
No, you ca n’t count yourself. As long as the tribe is their own, the others are enemies. It is natural to treat the enemy fiercely. For a while, the area around Cape Town was chaotic. I do n’t know how many tribes are going to perish.
Viscount Fickney was ignorant of this change and he did not care about the internal strife of the indigenous tribes. The delay in conquering Cape Town increased the pressure on Viscount Fickney.
It is almost impossible for the British to admit defeat. The enemy has a maritime advantage. Unless the British and Austrian nations completely tear their faces and the Austrian African colonial forces participate in the war, Viscount Fickney will not have the confidence to push side by side with his own strength.
More pressure than him was the Governor Delphi. Viscount Fickney still won the battle anyway, it was nothing more than the size of the battle. Governor Delphi lost all the way.
The siege war that lasted for almost half a year was not without effect. Looking at the shells and human lives, Cape Town was almost destroyed.
If you have a satellite map, you will find that the original Cape Town, most of it fell into the hands of the "Boers," and only a small area in the hands of the British.
It's just that this has no effect. There are a lot of reinforced concrete fortresses in the back. From Cape Town to Cape of Good Hope, all look at the fortress bunkers.
Quality can't be beaten, but there are enough! Governor Delphi's turtle tactics seem inconspicuous, but the practicality still has to be said.
Of course, this tactic can only be played by wealthy Brits. Don't look at the fortresses of these tofu dregs projects, almost all raw materials are transported from the outside.
For example: cement and steel bars are transported from home. The transportation distance alone makes the cost up.
The project turned into tofu dregs, and that was all forced out. Sand and gravel are taken locally, and the quality of the sea sand itself is not enough. When the quantity is not enough, the soil is used to make up, because the lack of water is replaced with seawater.
Too much helplessness is added together, making the fortress bunkers repaired by the British people more and more rubbish. In many cases, only the quantity is pursued, and the quality is not considered at all.
However, these issues are still unknown to the attacking army of the Boer Republic. After all, they had accepted the hard bones in the early stage, and now they are fighting street fights.
Now that you know it is the bean dregs project, why should you fix it? There are many reasons for this, relying on fortifications to deter the enemy and using temporary fortresses for strategic deception.
This was the reason that Governor Delphi reported to the London government, and it was only marginal.
This level of strategic deception may be effective before the outbreak. The war has already begun. As long as the shells have flew past, the reality will soon be exposed.
But the fortress is still to be repaired, otherwise capitalists who raise the raw materials rely on to make money? These special businesses are all domestic big names.
The matter of breaking people's money was never done by the friendly Governor Delphi. This is why he is nervous now. Once the last area of ​​Cape Town falls behind, the tofu project behind will be exposed.
The fortifications costing millions of pounds were vulnerable on the battlefield, so it was difficult for Governor Delphi to retreat peacefully. He had set his back.
"Will, how is the negotiation between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Austrians?"
The harsh reality made Governor Delphi pin his hopes on the Foreign Ministry. As long as the Vienna government is leveled, the "Bur Republic Army" outside the city will immediately disperse.
I really thought that with a vest, I didn't know who was who? If the Boers were so strong, they would not have to relocate inland.
"His Excellency, this negotiation went very smoothly, but it did not involve the issue of South Africa. The Austrians insisted that we were fighting against the Boers. If you want to negotiate, talk to the government of the Boer Republic."
Will was so depressed that no one wanted to lift the lid. There is no way to start negotiations on the South African war.
Unless they are willing to put down their faces and listen to the advice of the Austrians, they will negotiate with the vest "the government of the Republic of Boer".
The London government put aside the issue and put it to rest. This is just a superficial statement. The Governor of Delphi knows very well that the real reason is that no one wants to be a scapegoat.
The battlefield has failed. How can there be good fruit on the negotiation table? On the issue of South Africa, Britain's concession has become inevitable. If a treaty is lost, it will be an indelible stain in diplomatic career.
It is the instinct of the politicians to tend to the interests, and Governor Delphi saw it openly and did not complain. After sighing deeply, he said, "It's all over!
Will generated electricity for the London government. In order to safeguard the interests of the empire and reduce the losses caused by the war, the Cape Town colonial government applied for diplomatic negotiations with the Boer Republic. "
This means that the British ’s South African strategy is completely bankrupt. As a front-line executor, Governor Delphi must be responsible for this.
However, it is better to negotiate now than after the defeat of the war. If the enemy was pushed all the way to the Cape of Good Hope, if he did not want to go to a military court, Governor Delphi would have to fight the battlefield to explain to the country.
In this case, it is better to take the initiative to take responsibility. Because this war has fed many powers, his ending will not be too miserable.
There are too many people who have lost the battle, and not everyone must be held accountable. The only problem with Governor Delphi was that he provoked the war without being able to win it.
As long as a barely acceptable treaty is signed and a few years of returning to the country to avoid the limelight, things will pass.
Governor Delphi has a back office, and when the limelight passes, he can continue to be an official.
At the moment of the crisis, the British are still efficient, and on the same day, they made a negotiation request to the "Bur Republic Government" opposite.
After receiving an invitation to negotiate from the British, Viscount Fickney was aggressive. For this war, he also exhausted his thoughts. He couldn't think of a way to win Cape Town. He didn't expect the British to give up.
Negotiations must be negotiated. It is not possible to seize Cape Town by force, and it is no longer necessary to continue the fight.
The Austrian nobles who participated in the war had their own family businesses. They could not leave for too long. Their military achievements were almost enough, and their goals were completed. No one can talk better about continuing to die with the British.
The tofu project behind the British was really easy to deal with. The problem was that Viscount Fickney and others didn't know it at all and thought it was a genuine fortress.
The information is asymmetric, and Viscount Fickney naturally dared not take risks. Otherwise, he really has the possibility to take a gamble and launch a full-scale offensive directly to drive the British out of South Africa at all costs.
