Chapter 1431 Self-defeating

Major General Song Jian, commander of the 7th Cavalry Army of the Imperial Army, and Major General Surile, commander of the 8th Cavalry Army, have been full of anger. In their opinion, using two cavalry troops to deal with the Boers was simply a matter of being able to capture them.↖ However, because of the incompatibility of the local conditions, the soldiers and war horses of the Imperial Cavalry fell ill after getting off the ship. After half a month of emergency treatment, they recovered.

"Old Zhang! Brothers are not familiar with South Africa. At that time, you still need more support!" Major General Song Jian said to Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua. After all, South Africa is completely unfamiliar to the imperial cavalry.

"Don't worry, General Song, our 135th Brigade and the tens of thousands of brothers from the South African militia have long been full of anger. As long as the Imperial Cavalry attacks the Boers, we will follow you immediately. As for the guides, we are ready. The Empire has been colonizing South Africa for some years, and we have already figured out all these!" Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua patted his chest and promised.

"Lao Zhang, how is the combat effectiveness of the Boers? We only have two cavalry troops, and there are probably no more reinforcements coming in the future!" Major General Surile asked.

"The combat effectiveness of the Boer army is actually not strong, but because many Boer people are herders, their troops are mostly cavalry and the maneuver speed is very fast. Our troops had suffered losses from the Boer cavalry and lost a lot. In addition, those Boer people are good at fighting guerrilla warfare. Once they encounter powerful opponents, they will be broken into pieces and spread onto the vast grasslands, which is very difficult to deal with!" Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua was full of fire when he mentioned the Boer tactics.

"It seems that those Boers are not completely fools. They know how to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. However, for us, this has nothing to do with us. No matter how vast the grasslands in South Africa are, it is not easy for the Boers to persist in guerrilla warfare. They need to get supplies from the Boers. If they adopt this tactic, then we will directly attack the entire Boers nation. I want to see how they fight us if the entire Boers nation is destroyed!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Major General Song Jian's eyes. The Empire has never been ruthless for these rebel guys. What's more, these Boers are just descendants of Europeans. In the eyes of the Imperial Army, killing them will not be psychologically burdened.

"That's right, as long as they dare to use such tactics, they will destroy all the Boers. We adopt such tactics throughout South Africa and even the entire Africa. I want to see how many people will be killed in the end!" Major General Surile very much recognized Major General Song Jian's plan. Now, the view that it is definitely different in our clan has been deeply implanted in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Empire's army. They hardly regard these people from other races as human beings, especially those who remain hostile to the empire. They will be eliminated.

Besides, after this world war, the empire will become the well-deserved world's number one power, and no country can pose a threat to the empire any more. Even if the empire perishes the Boers, Europeans will at most slander the empire privately. Let them come out openly and accuse the empire. I guess no one has the courage to do so.

"Well, in this case, these problems should be completely solved. The Boers, Zulu people in South Africa, and some other ethnic groups are hostile to the empire's immigration. The empire can take this opportunity to clean up the guys who oppose the empire and open up a clean land for the empire!" Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua nodded repeatedly, expressing his approval of such a plan. As the brigade commander of the Imperial Army's Reserve Infantry Brigade and the commander of the militia, his best

The main task is to ensure the safety of the empire's immigration. Over the years, the empire's immigration has often clashed with the Boers and other South African nations, with countless casualties and injuries. He had long wanted to clean up these South African nations. However, these ethnic groups also had a large population and were good at fighting in the vast plains and jungles of South Africa. Once the scale of the war was expanded, his troops would not take much advantage. Now, we can take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the rebellion and kill all the enemies.

"Okay, that's the decision. The brothers have almost recovered. Please adapt to the climate here. Three days later, we will attack the Boers on time and deal with them in one fell swoop!" Major General Song Jian said.

Major General Surile and Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua had no objection to this. The Empire's * army immediately took action and began the final preparations before the war.

At this time, Andre, the vice president of the Boers, brought several people into Cape Town. They approached the Imperial Army's defense line with white flags. After revealing their identity, they were sent to Cape Town.

Major General Song Jian, Major General Su Rile and Brigadier General Zhang Zhenghua met Andrei.

"Dear General, I come to negotiate with the Chinese Empire on the orders of His Excellency President Martinas Pretorius. The Boers hope that the Chinese Empire can evacuate South Africa. After all, this is the land of the Boers and all ethnic groups in South Africa. The Chinese have seriously violated our interests when they come here. If the Chinese can withdraw from here, I promise we will live in peace." Andre directly stated the conditions of the Boers. They want to become the true rulers of South Africa, not the object of enslavement by the Chinese.

"You're wrong? South Africa is a colony of the empire, and the empire took it from the hands of the British. As for whether this is the land of the Boers, we don't care. It may have been like this, but after you were forced to surrender to the British, the land here is no longer yours. Before, the Republic of Terratuva and the Free State of Orange had signed treaties with the empire and became the protectors of the empire. As a result, you tore up the treaty, and it was openly clear that you had torn up the treaty.

Get up to resist the rule of the empire, and even send troops to attack the empire's mines and settlements. This is a serious provocation to the empire. Now, you only have one way out, that is, put down your weapons and surrender to the empire. The empire can consider giving you lighter!" Major General Song Jian looked contemptuous. These Boers actually wanted to negotiate with the empire and wanted the empire to give up South Africa. How could this be possible? They are too arrogant to themselves! Could it be that they thought they would win?

Andrei was so angry that he trembled all over, but he didn't expect the Chinese Empire to be so tough.

"Is this your own opinion, or the Chinese Empire?" Andrei said coldly.

"This is our opinion, and it also represents the opinion of the empire!" Major General Surile said.

"Hmph! I advise you to think carefully. There are thousands of Chinese prisoners in our hands. If the war continues, we will not be able to ensure the safety of these prisoners!" Andre said with a cold face.

Major General Song Jian and his other people's faces suddenly became very ugly. These damn Boers actually wanted to threaten them with the captured Chinese. In addition, these guys are too shameless! Even the empire can never do such a thing!

When Andre saw Major General Song Jian and others' faces changed drastically, he thought he had grabbed the pain of the Chinese, so he continued: "That's the lives of thousands of Chinese people! If you don't care about their lives, then this will be a huge stain for you! Once those in China know about it, they will definitely make a fuss, and there will be absolutely no benefit for you!"

Andrei smiled as if he had already taken over Major General Song Jian and the others. After all, those prisoners were in their hands, so he was not afraid that the Chinese would not bow their heads.

However, Andrei underestimated the senior officers of the Imperial Army. Although the lives of thousands of Chinese are important, the interests of the empire are even more important. If South Africa is given up for the sake of thousands of Chinese, it will be a huge loss for the empire.

"Hmph! It's really shameless that you actually threaten us with the lives of civilians!" Song Jian snorted coldly.

"We do this for the benefit of the Boers!" Andre said.

"Okay, we know what you mean. But there is no need to be much. Originally, we just wanted to suppress your rebellion. But you shamelessly wanted to threaten us with the lives of the Chinese. Now I want to tell you that such a threat is useless to the Empire! Even if thousands of compatriots are killed by you, what can we do? I promise that if a Chinese is killed by you, then we will kill a thousand Boer people to make up for it until you all of you Boer people are killed. There is no doubt that the Empire will definitely have this strength!" Major General Song Jian's face was so cold that it was scary.

"You...you..." Andre couldn't speak at once. He didn't expect that it would become like this. These Chinese generals didn't care about the lives of their compatriots. Moreover, they directly threatened to kill all the Boers, who were millions of Boers! Are these Chinese crazy?

"Get out! Remember what I said, if you die of a Chinese, you have to use a thousand people to make up for it!" Major General Song Jian said coldly.

Andre left in a daze. He was frightened by Major General Song Jian's crazy words. The Chinese actually threatened to destroy the entire Boer people, which was simply too crazy. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have backfired this time! Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he put the Boer people in an unprecedented crisis.
