Vol 2 Chapter 12: The British-British War broke out

Based on the principle of blocking the British, the Germans and French expressed their willingness to support the Boers. As the Boer's home country, the Dutch set up a volunteer army in the country to prepare for South Africa.
这些 These actions in European countries brought confidence to the Transylvanian Republic to defeat the British invasion, and also brought disaster!
The Boers decided not to compromise with the British, and began preparations to use force to expel the British invaders.
The Boer people may lack other things, but they are not short of gold, they are aware of the danger, they buy weapons from European countries and train soldiers.
The war broke out, and Britain could no longer tolerate it. With the efforts of the capitalists, the bickering parliament finally passed a resolution to launch a full-scale war against the Boers.
年底 By the end of 1895, the British army began to gather in two Boer republics (the Republic of Transvaal and the Republic of Orange).
时 At the beginning of the war, the British army had about 30,000 people. It used a recruiting system to supplement its soldiers, with outdated weapons, poor training, and lax discipline.
Apparently, the British underestimated the strength of the Boers and sent a group of black people directly to the battlefield. They suffered a lot in the early days of the war.
The ending has nothing to do with Ferdinand. The actions of the British in South Africa have stirred up dissatisfaction in European countries, especially the Germans!
Although he did not support the Boers, he sold weapons and equipment to help train the soldiers, and various small movements never stopped!
The sudden outbreak of the Ying-Bei war successfully diverted the attention of the British. The contradiction between Britain and Germany and the contradiction between Britain and France intensified. Salisbury's plan came to an end!
Jeff Ferdinand's purpose has arrived, but he knows that South Africa is a quagmire, and the Boers are not so messy!
Now there are Germans and French as nurses for them, and the life is much better than the historical "English cloth" war.
In the history of the British cloth war, they fought for three years. At this moment, there were a lot of votes for the nurses, and the preparations of the British were not as sufficient as in history. Short it!
In history, the Germans abandoned the Boers because of the compromise reached by Britain and Germany in dividing the South African colony.
The British again drew the Portuguese, cut off the ground supply line from the Portuguese colony, the Royal Navy used the Portuguese military port in Mozambique, sealed the Dragoa Bay, cut off the Boer ’s only estuary, cut off the Boer Opportunities for outside supply.
Under a series of unfavorable factors, the Boers could only fight alone. After three years of persistence, they ultimately failed.
None of this has happened yet. As soon as the English-British War broke out, the Germans, French, Dutch, and other ships from various European countries continued to enter and leave the Dragoa Bay.
The strategic supplies of Yiyi Ship were sold to the Boers. The British government can do nothing about it. Obviously, European countries do not want the British to easily get South Africa!
If the contradictions between Germany and France are not too great, now the two countries should join hands to intervene. Even so, the two countries have achieved a tacit understanding, "the British cannot easily get South Africa"!
In the era of the gold standard, whoever has gold in his hands dominates world finance, and South Africa is precisely the most critical part of it!
I worked directly with the Sunburst Empire, and before we got there, we stumped a little, everyone was pressure-free.
In January 1895, the German consul publicly stated its support for the Republic of Transvaal to take tough measures against the British.
After the failure of the British African Colonial Army invasion, William II personally sent a message of congratulations to President Transvaal Kruger, congratulating them: totally relying on his own strength to crush a bandit invasion!
The French Gazette also stated that the French government's attitude towards the Boers: The French Republic is willing to support the Republic of Transvaal and oppose British colonial rule.
Le Figaro, the editor-in-chief even put the Boers against the British invasion together with the American Independence Movement and called on the French people to donate to the Boers to support the Boers to continue their efforts for national independence!
In addition to calling on Dutch people to donate, the Dutch Telegraph also directly recruits volunteers from all over the world, preparing to use actual actions to fight the British riots.
If only from the point of view of public opinion, this time the British are angry. From Western Europe to Eastern Europe, the media in various countries are attacking the British, calling on the world to join forces to organize British brutality in South Africa!
In essence, what should be done, at most it is a few youths who flew to the South African battlefield and the British!
Otherwise, it is to sell various materials to the Boers and make a lot of gold. It is estimated that in addition to the Dutch are really angry, other countries are for the benefit of the British people.
Not only that, the pressure of public opinion is still useful. At least during the British-British War, British exports to Europe fell by 10%; trade exports to the Netherlands fell to more than a decade of history. The lowest point is less than one third of the heyday.
Ferdinand knew that this might be the core factor of collective opposition to Britain across Europe!
The United Kingdom has suffered, and the evil results of no allies have been revealed. Even the world's largest power, it is unable to stop the European continent collectively from tripping!
This also laid the groundwork for the British to abandon non-aligned diplomacy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to implement a new diplomatic strategy.
In order to be able to cut off the Boer's logistics supply line and block the transcontinental blood transfusion to it. The British Foreign Office approached the Portuguese and hoped for support, but unfortunately it was not so easy now.
Germans, French, and Spaniards have said that we do not agree! In the face of pressure from various countries, the Portuguese easily dared not express their stand and hesitated to declare neutrality again and again!
Pressure from other countries they can also stand up. The Spaniard's move on the border has terrified the Portuguese.
The actions of the Spaniards are well understood. The British rose on the bones of the invincible fleet, leaving the colonies behind, and now occupying the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Spaniards have no strength and look for the obscurity of the British, but it is no problem to teach the Portuguese who have left independently, and this time there are European countries to support it later!
What's more, Spain before the Spanish-American War was still the No. 1 power in Europe. It was in the same rank as Italy. It did not decline, and it still had a little temper.
In 1898, the Spanish-American War broke out. The Spanish did not have the energy to interfere with the Portuguese's move towards Britain. Now the conflict between the United States and Spain has not intensified, and the war is nothing.
葡萄牙 With the intervention of European countries, the Portuguese were very neutral and neutral. The Portuguese pretended not to see the merchant ships carrying arms from various countries. They were determined not to lie on this muddy water anyway.
The British plan to use the Portuguese financial crisis to force Portugal to compromise, before it has time to fail. Usury lenders in France have long sharpened their swords, and have made it clear that they are willing to provide loans to Portugal.
