the world is at stake

European powers can establish colonies in every corner of the world, and the most effective weapons are not guns, but religion and culture.For a group of indigenous people who only have primitive totems and simple tribal concepts, cultural suppression is more insoluble than guns.

China has cultivated its own interest spokesmen in East Asia without haste, and it is the same in Africa.A failed exercise can knock down the confidence and arrogance of the Boers and let them learn some experience and lessons.

At the Union Army Camp near Johannesburg at the moment, Boer Cavalry Commander James Herzog stared at several black men in military uniform opposite him with hatred.

The blacks, with rifles on their backs, walked past the whites in single file, without bowing their knees or flinching.It could be seen that they were very nervous facing white people, but they still walked over with their heads held high.

For hundreds of years, black people have not stood up straight in front of white people.Such behavior can be called bold, even courting death.

Herzog, known for his obstinacy, ordered the shooting of any black man who was armed during the Boer War, completely disregarding the fact that millions of blacks might be allied against Britain.

South African blacks also hated these rude white pigs, and they took up arms just to resist the cruel oppression of the Boers.The contradiction between the two sides is extremely sharp.

The British colonized the world and knew how to buy and win over the aborigines, regardless of the color of the other party.The Boers completely refused to treat black people as human beings, even as cattle.

A gray-green painted four-wheeled motor vehicle drove up to Herzog, and a Chinese soldier wearing the rank of temporary second lieutenant got out of the vehicle and walked over. When they met, they said something politely in German:

"Sir, I am Second Lieutenant Gao Desheng, the Liaison Officer of the National Defense Forces in Mozambique. Our commander asked me to ask, do you want to be sent to a concentration camp for the British, or to be hanged in London?"

Herzog, who understood German, was furious.

Lieutenant Gao Desheng continued: "In the previous war, nearly 44 of the 9 Boers participated in the battle, and almost all male youths fought.

By the end of the war, one seventh of your population was dead or exiled.More than [-] women and children were imprisoned in concentration camps, and nearly [-] died.The Boers came close to genocide.

More than ten years have passed, and when you tried to resist again, you were still mentally ill and did not know how to repent.If you want to die, please say so, don't drag us down.

With the support of China, 400 million black South Africans can also overthrow the British and kill you at the same time.Now we will go and take three regiments of Negro infantry.If you don't apologize before dark, go to hell. "

After saying this, Gao Desheng turned back to the motor vehicle, waved his hand and said to his companion holding the steering wheel: "The report is over, go back."

Wang Changleg, who was driving, glanced at Herzog's blackened face, and said in a low voice, "God left, the headquarters asked you to contact me, and you just contact me like this? Will you offend these Boers?"

Gao Desheng snorted and said: "The Boers never listen to good words. They only believe in fists, and they will listen to whoever beats them the hardest. Don't give these bastards good looks.

Believe me, these bastards are special.More than ten years ago, the British almost killed their young adults and children.In terms of troops that can be mobilized, they are not as many as us. "

"Zhong, I'll listen to you." Wang Changleg turned the steering wheel, and the four-wheeled motor vehicle turned in a circle and left.

A group of Boer commanders yelled angrily, all looking at their own cavalry commander.Herzog's mood was extremely complicated, and he looked at the several black infantrymen in the barracks again, with hatred and fear.

The number of Chinese immigrants in Mozambique has skyrocketed. There are more than [-] young people who have received military training and can go to war with a gun.Maputo has a lot of five small businesses, and its economy is developing very well.

Compared with the Boers who practiced the apartheid policy, Chinese immigrants were more generous and tolerant than Europeans in treating black natives. They recruited and trained more than [-] black laborers from Mozambique in one year.

Although black laborers can only do some low-level menial and chores, it has greatly released the labor force of Chinese immigrants-for example, the Chinese do not need to do such jobs as picking manure, sweeping streets and building roads.

Chinese immigrants basically do two things - fighting wars and having children. All economic and production activities revolve around these two things.Any other chores have to give way.

Faced with such simple pragmatism, not to mention the British would be confused, but so would the Boers.The latter seemed to have discovered the New World, only to realize that stupid black people can use it well, which can greatly improve the efficiency of social operations.

During the Boer War, blacks would cooperate with the British to attack Boer farms.Now the Chinese are here, and the screened blacks are honored to go to Maputo to clean the public toilets.

The Chinese army also took great care in training the black servants. They selected more than 2000 people from the local indigenous tribes and formed three black infantry regiments.

The filter criteria are also very simple - can you count?Can you tell the left from the right?Can you paraphrase a long sentence?Can you recognize the upper and lower levels?

For blacks without farming traditions, passing the Chinese test is already considered outstanding IQ.

After three months of training, the "select the best" black infantrymen put on gray-green military uniforms, which is funny like "the monkey wears the crown".Although they were dizzy when fighting, the company-level team absolutely fell apart when they ran 500 meters...

But this is considered elite among blacks.

South Africa and Mozambique can screen out at least 30 million "elite" blacks. As long as China can supply weapons, ammunition and military supplies, it is absolutely possible to carry these cannon fodder across Africa.

Herzog felt vaguely frightened, as if he saw the Chinese open Pandora's box and unleash a series of disasters against Europeans.

Chapter 47

When it got dark, the temperature became cooler, and the joint army camp in Johannesburg was deserted inside and outside.

Soldiers on guard looked back and forth at the deserted training ground, shooters on armored vehicles grabbed the D-grips of heavy machine guns, and patrols stared indifferently at the camp of the Boer cavalry.

The first reaction of those 'white supremacists' who see black people holding arms and forming armies is anger and fear.They stubbornly refused to cooperate with the black servant army, and they didn't think there was anything wrong.

The bragging "dog leftover" was scolded by the exercise command, and his rank of temporary second lieutenant became a "temporary" temporary second lieutenant.But his language talent is really good, so he was left in the headquarters to 'make a crime and make a contribution'.

The Boers were debating whether to continue to join forces with the devilish Chinese against the British, or to be conscripted into Europe as obedient citizens of the British.Neither is a good option for them.

Before it was dark, Wang Changleg quietly came out of the barracks.He changed into civilian clothes, sneaked around the Boer camp, and trot along the walled path outside the training ground to the nearby market.

South Africa has a savannah climate, and the mountains to the east block the warm and humid airflow from the Indian Ocean. Most of its area is dry and rainless, making it unsuitable for farming.

But after the discovery of a super large gold mine, Johannesburg became a city of gold rush, and there are countless adventurers who want to come here to get rich overnight.

But most people with dreams didn't make a fortune at all, and had to be hired by local mine owners as miners or engage in mining-related service industries to make a living.

The service industry always has to be linked with people.

Thousands of energetic young men in the military camp, with generous salary allowances in their pockets, are the best customer group in the service industry.The joint exercise doubled the demand in the camp area, making the shops in the nearby market full of money.

Wang Changleg is a liaison officer drawn from the Maputo militia, and the troops manage him relatively loosely.He slipped out in the name of going out to purchase military supplies, and ran straight to a shop in the market.

When he arrived at the shop, he didn't go in, but walked around to the stable behind the shop.Behind the stable stood a young woman with a parcel, looking around, afraid of being seen or missing the person she wanted to see.

As soon as Wang Changlegs appeared, the blond woman couldn't help but ran out and threw herself into his arms.The two are like dry wood and fire, hugging and caressing, kissing and talking to each other.

More than ten meters away, Second Lieutenant Gao Desheng, who had just been criticized, emerged from behind a pile of firewood, followed by three or four military policemen with dark faces.They were dumbfounded as they watched the body of the little Boolean woman being teased by Wang Zhanglegs so softly, they were angry and funny.

"Wang Zhanglegs is such a boring gourd. I thought he didn't know how to hook up with women. I didn't expect that the troops would come to Johannesburg for less than a month, and he would actually have sex."

"I thought I was going to catch a traitor, but I didn't expect it to be a traitor. Isn't Wang Changleg already married?"

"Yeah, this kid has a fiancée in Maputo, a pretty German girl, and he plans to get a certificate in two months. I didn't expect this thick eyebrow and big eyes to have an affair."

The man and woman on the opposite side kissed for a while, and the woman suddenly cried, and there was a faint voice, begging Wang Changleg to take her away.Wang Changleg's German is surprisingly bad, he can only jump words one by one, and promises to take the woman away.

The little woman cried for a while, got the promise and comfort, and stuffed the package she had brought to Wang Changleg, and finally kissed her hard again, and went into the back door of the shop.

There were a lot of lip marks on Wang Changleg's face, and he was so unhappy that he walked back with a smile.He found his whereabouts exposed within a few steps, and whispered in surprise: "Gousheng, what are you doing here with people?"

"Well, you are a king with long legs. It's not enough to have a beautiful wife at home, so you ran out to seduce girls. Are you afraid that the Boers will tear you apart? Those Dutch bastards value their women very much."

Gao Desheng shouted with confidence.

Wang Changji immediately admitted his cowardice, and quickly dragged several military policemen and 'dog leftovers' who were watching the excitement to a dark place.He cried out bitterly and expressed his helplessness.

"Brother, it's really not my fault. It's just that Gina in that store is too pitiful. Her husband is too drunk and beats her, which is very ruthless. I saw it once when I was shopping for military supplies. I couldn't be angry, so I told her Husband quarreled a few words.

I didn't expect that Boer man to pull out a gun. I took the first step and hit him on the head with a stick, beating him until he fainted.Gina was scared and begged me to save her.I can't ignore this back and forth.

Alas... evil debt! "

"You bastard, isn't it just greedy for someone's body? Just as you put your hand into his chest, you almost took off your pants on the spot. You said it as if you were very reluctant."

'Gousheng' poohed a few times, very contemptuous.

Several gendarmes gathered together and found that they couldn't manage this matter—Wang Changleg was a militiaman, and overseas immigrants were not under the control of the army.This foreign man and woman 'triggered the spark of love', but the superiors encouraged them.

Wang Zhangleg's package contained several clothes, a deposit of more than 20 pounds, and some dried meat for food.It was all the savings and intentions of the poor little woman just now.Being able to take these things out shows that she really wants to go with Chinese men.

Contempt is all contempt, and 'Gousheng' naturally sided with his brother.He made the decision: "The troops are leaving Johannesburg at night, call your Gina out now, and come with us."

"Zhong, listen to you." Wang Changke put the package in his brother's hand, "But I have to wait a while, I have to say goodbye to another girl."

What... more?

Under the gaze of the military police and Gao Desheng, Wang Changlegs ran towards the other side of the market.In less than 5 minutes, he snorted and brought a girl over again, with the same annoyed look that deserved a beating, and sighed:

"Hey... This girl's family is not good. Working as a maid in this street is a suffering person. I just chatted with her a few days ago, and now she insists on leaving with me."

The nickname of Wang Changleg is because when he enlisted in the army, he didn't have much flesh on his body, he was born thin and tall, and his body was empty in the military uniform, and he could go to the sky in a gust of wind.

But after eating and drinking in the army and intensive training, this kid will stand upright and heroic after he is strong.In fact, the aesthetics of the East and the West are almost the same. When he went to South Africa, he was also liked by young girls and daughters-in-law.

Both girls were Boers and knew each other.They were called out to get together, looked at each other, and after muttering to each other for a while, they still chose to follow behind Wang Changleg.

Gou Sheng and a few gendarmes were jealous to death, and it was hard to scold them, but they envied them.

There is not so much love and romance between men and women these days, and marriage is more for life.Women's status is low, and they have no right to choose who to marry and have children.

There is a Boolean girl who is willing to elope with Wang Changlegs for the simple reason that Chinese men are rich and can live a good life.

Dutch immigrants have been operating in South Africa for nearly 300 years, with a population of only 50 million. It can only be said that the geographical environment here is indeed not very good.In the two Boer Wars, Britain did not take advantage of it, and the Boers were almost wiped out.

More than ten years after the war, the Boer population has not returned to its peak value.And because of the concentration camps and massacres of the British, its productivity has regressed sharply, and there are more women than men.

When the Chinese came to South Africa, they thought that the whites should be similar to the whites at first, but after actual contact, they found that the Boers were the worst in the whole white world.

There are few hospitals and schools around Johannesburg, and there are no cultural and recreational facilities such as libraries.The tropical grassland lacks rainfall and even trees are scarce.The Boers are good at animal husbandry, and their agricultural output is very low.

In an era when antibiotics have become widely used around the world.The medical conditions of the Boers are not much better than those of the surrounding blacks, thanks to the limited public services provided by the British government.

Relatively speaking, why China chose Maputo, Mozambique, as its first foothold in Africa is because the climate in the east of South Africa is humid and suitable for farming.

Seeing that the war is about to start again, women will subconsciously choose a safer life and go with the strongest man—the Chinese motorcycle troupe who came to Johannesburg has recently been in the limelight, but it has attracted the attention of many local girls.

The National Defense Forces have strict military and local regulations, prohibiting messy relations between men and women.But the motorized infantry division stationed in Mozambique must fight alone for a long time.For population considerations, the superiors allowed soldiers to intermarry with the locals.

With the aesthetics of the Han people, except for women from East Asia, they naturally tend to find a white girl.The motorcycle troupe who came for the exercise took more than 300 local girls with them when they left Johannesburg, and more were hooked up and taken away later.

After Wang Changleg returned to Maputo, he couldn't live a life of hugging left and right.Because his German fiancée went to the local women's federation to file a complaint.After the two Boer girls found out that he had a fiancée, they naturally chose to marry other Chinese immigrants.

This matter made Boolean half-dead in popularity but helpless.

An exercise exposed its brutal nature.Their population is too small. Although they have gold mines, the economic strength brought by agriculture, animal husbandry and mining is really not enough, and they are not a reliable force at all.

On the contrary, the gossip about Wang Changleg's "stealing a chicken will not work" spread rapidly in Maputo, and the immigrants quickly grasped the key point-a brother abducted two young Boer girls back with just one mouth.

There are still too many bachelors in Maputo, and there are less than [-] girls from China and East Asia.The ratio of male to female in the country is also imbalanced, and there are far more adult males than females.

The energetic young men all have red eyes when they are not working, and even look at black girls with delicate features.Marriage has become a big problem affecting social development.

Now that the sea route is blocked, the only solution is to attack the Boers.

The open farmland outside the city of Maputo and the clean roads inside the city.A bright street market at night with well-stocked shops.These are the superior environments that attract white girls to settle down.

So after the failure of the first joint exercise, the Chinese motorized infantry regiment in Maputo had the cheek to go to Johannesburg to ask for cooperation in training.

This incident has been heard as far away as the Governor of South Africa in Cape Town. The British described in newspapers that the Boer ethnic group is facing a huge survival crisis-a large number of young girls are marrying away, and the local boys are too poor to marry wives. .

At first, the Brits laughed at the Boers who led wolves into their homes, and they deserved to be robbed of their women by the Chinese.But they soon stopped laughing.

The eager Chinese are not content to choose among the small circle of Boers.The Boers don't have enough young girls to choose from either - but there are plenty of Brits in South Africa!

"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest." In order to carry on the family line, China's "blind date group" means to expand the scope of the search - British girls are not unacceptable.

Chapter 48 Trapped in History

"ridiculous!"

Charles I held his forehead and shook his head in his palace.

"The European battlefield is a sea of ​​corpses and blood, and the daily military expenditure exceeds 5000 million pounds. But my stupid man sent a telegram saying that the Chinese are falling out with the Boers to grab girls in South Africa."

South Africa is [-] kilometers away from the United Kingdom, and its governor, Baron Buxton, prefers to report to London.Especially since the start of the war, he has reported news about the Chinese every day.

The British mainland standing army is less than 40, which is not enough to consume a large-scale battle.Great Britain needs troops from colonies all over the world.

British candidates refer to the experience of World War I and World War II, and feel that this is not difficult.But when we really fought, we found that this matter was not as simple as imagined.

Baron Buxton of South Africa always emphasizes China's influence in Africa, just to tell his own importance, and he doesn't want to be transferred to the tragic European battlefield.

Charles I flicked the telegram in his hand, and sneered at Kitchener, the Secretary of War who came to see him: "This idiot said to protect the British girls in South Africa from the Chinese, and said now is the best time.

Does he think I'm a fool?Maputo, controlled by China, is 10,000 kilometers away from Cape Town. He is very safe and there is nothing to worry about.But Daying needs the [-]+ army soldiers in his hands. "

Kitchener nodded. He understood the reason why the king was so anxious-the European battlefield had become a pure war of attrition, which was not good for anyone.

On the first day of the war, Kitchener submitted a military expansion bill to Congress, requiring the recruitment of 50 troops in the mainland and formulating a budget for the continued recruitment of 100 million troops.

Members of Congress quarreled over the bill, ridiculing the 50 troops as 'Kitchina cannon fodder'.Little did they realize that the war that was taking place would be protracted.

In particular, the raid on Wilhelmshaven in Germany caused heavy losses to the British Navy, so that the whole of the UK became a little wary.No one wants to send their children to the battlefield.

At present, France and Germany are fighting each other on the territory of Belgium and the Netherlands. The air forces and armored forces of both sides are fighting back and forth-the trench warfare has not appeared, but the losses of fighter planes and tanks are equally astonishing.

Less than a month after the start of the war, France lost two armored divisions, seven infantry divisions, and more than 800 fighter planes.Germany's loss is only half of that of France, and the front line has stabilized in Belgium.

The 2:1 battle loss surprised Britain and France. With similar weapons and equipment on both sides, it can only be said that the German army is superior in fighting like this.

After interrogating some of the German prisoners, an urgent investigation report was sent to the British War Office and Charles I.The reason is simple. Many German officers practiced on the Chinese battlefield as early as seven years ago.

The Sino-Japanese War lasted for many years, but the intensity of the war has been very small.After fighting for six full years, the total number of troops lost by both sides is not as good as that of Europe fighting for a month.

Low-intensity warfare has trained a large number of commanders and fighters at all levels with actual combat experience for China.At the same time, tens of thousands of German military officers and technicians joined the Chinese army as volunteers and became familiar with modern warfare in advance.

These include tankers, pilots, front-line officers, logistics personnel, and even senior commanders at the strategic level of the campaign.These soldiers with actual combat experience returned to Germany and crushed the Russian and French armies out of shit on the east and west fronts.
