The Rise of the Empire

　　 Ruprecht raised a finger with excitement, and then shook it back and forth twice. This shocked Dr. Itmel. What does that mean! Don't want to meet? I don't want to see you talking! The doctor does not understand, it seems that Kruger, who has just arrived in Europe, did not offend the prince, right? Even if he has this idea, he still has this opportunity, right?

　　 "Your bonus this year has increased by 10,000 marks, and you can withdraw it at any time!" His Royal Highness tremblingly said. "You actually let a God of Wealth, a man who caused tension between the two great powers of Britain and Germany, and resisted nearly 200,000 British troops, to wait at my door all morning! And you are planning to let him wait another afternoon? Well, it’s okay to double your mid-year bonus!" The prince was so excited!

　　 Kruger! Celebrities, let’s not talk about the German marshal in World War II. The Boer Kruger on this plane is also NB. Kruger knows? It was sent to him by William II in history! Congratulations to him for hitting the British back! Then decisively detonated the tension between Britain and Germany!

　　 This ability is not enough to make the prince so excited. Isn't he the leader of a local tyrant? But they are not only top-notch internal affairs, but also NB in ​​foreign wars. Before World War I, the most British troops invested in a certain battlefield was the Boer War! In the three years from 1899 to 1902, the British mobilized an army of about 450,000! Among them, 256,000 are from the British regular army, 109,000 are British volunteers, 53,000 are from the British colonial army stationed in South Africa, and the remaining 31,000 are from Canada, Australia and New Zealand! And used 1,027 various ships to transport materials. On the battlefield, when the British army had the largest number of troops on the front line, they had 250,000 troops, while the Boer army they faced was only 50,000!

　　 In order to win such a war, the British paid 21,000 deaths and injuries, and the war expenditure was as high as 220 million pounds! 220 million pounds! Buddy! You know, Transvaal and Orange have a population of only 220,000! An army of 88,000 people was squeezed out, of which 43,000 were in Transvaal! In other words, to deal with a Boer, the British spent an average of £1,000! A battle that was thought to be nothing suspenseful was fought for 31 months! Just for this, the traverser must give a thumbs up!

　　 And now, the President of Transvaal in the Boer battle is standing outside his door waiting to be summoned! And maybe they are ready to give something to themselves. The Boers will not be courteous for no reason. Their ancestors have also been pirates, and the Boers who have killed people and robbed goods have twelve points of vigilance against the British! He can come here, it is estimated that 80% intend to buy arms!

　　 "In a way, we are still neighbors." The prince said half-jokingly. "You don't need to wait for the afternoon, you can arrange a meeting now, don't let a meal affect business."

　　At this time, Kruger, who has not yet become the president, is waiting for the summons in the waiting room, a little nervous and nervous. Why did Kruger come? I went all the way from Africa to Bavaria for my purpose! Because he heard from his old friend that the army of the Kingdom of Bavaria is preparing to change outfits, replacing old Krupp artillery with new self-made artillery, so the price of these artillery will be very low! To put it bluntly, it is to wait for the Bavarian Kingdom's arsenal to be cleared and then exchanged for new ones!

　　 The Boer’s arms were originally controlled by Krupp, but now Krupp is also preparing to switch production, which will cause tension in production capacity. Although the Boers are very rich, they can't spend it randomly. On the one hand, they have to pay the cash and wait for the spot. On the other hand, they are preparing to clear the stock and sell them at a low price. The fool also knows who to buy! Coupled with the help of an old friend, Kruger came here with the intention of picking up Yang Lao!

　　While waiting, he suddenly found the rifle in the hands of the soldier next to the gate that he had never seen before. As a Boer, he is familiar with almost every type of German rifle, from the earliest committee rifle to the current Mauser rifle that uses smokeless powder.

　　 But I have never seen such a rifle. There are 6 holes on both sides of the rifle brake, and it is also equipped with a relatively large magazine. Although the appearance is not much different from the ordinary rifle, as an "old gun" he still found something different!

　　 Of course, it is impossible for him to go up and ask the guard next to him, brother, what stuff you are holding, can you see it! But this weird rifle has deeply penetrated his mind. And at this moment, footsteps sounded in the corridor, "The Doctor is out!" For a moment, Kruger became nervous. After all, it will be a few minutes to see whether he can succeed in this operation!

　　 "His Royal Highness has summoned you, please prepare quickly." The doctor said excitedly.

　　 "Thank you, my friend. Allow me to thank you for helping us in the name of the Transvaal Republic." Kruger gave the other person a hug. Then he began to organize his clothes with the help of the doctor. Even though he reappeared, he still stared at the rifle in the soldier's hand. The middle-aged man who had experienced blood and fire made the soldier at the door a little hairy! "That guy must have been on the battlefield. He has the same vision as a wolf." The soldier said anxiously to his companion next to him, and even began to consider whether to report to the chief.

　　 "With a cowboy outfit, a rifle, and a revolver, he can appear in American Western movies." This was Ruprecht's first reaction when he saw Kruger. UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com's thick knuckles told the prince that this man held a gun and a knife far more often than when he held a pen! His face was slightly dark, and his weather-beaten face made him look at least 5 years old. "A soldier!" This is the prince's evaluation, but it is normal. The Boers have a population of nearly 80,000 with a population of 220,000! This is almost a battle of young men and women! A true portrayal of all the people as soldiers. Don't let it out than the Mongolians!

However, many years of political experience let Kruger explain his intention in a few words. He is here to buy arms. I heard that the Bavarian Armory is currently undergoing clearance processing, low-price promotion, and people came to prepare for low-price acquisitions. ! He also expressed his willingness to establish a good relationship with the Bavarian royal family and provide assistance within its capacity to the Bavarian African Development Group. The sincere attitude is touching.

"The two countries established by the Boers only have a population of about 200,000, but you are under very heavy pressure. The British do not want to annex you all the time, and the blacks are also watching you with hostile eyes. You hold the most in the world. Rich minerals, but it is difficult to keep them. You want to use your blood and weapons in your hands to defend your interests, right?" The prince looked at the opposite side and said nervously Kruger.

"But this is far from enough. Simply buying weapons will not make you get rid of the sword of Damocles hanging above your head! If you are willing to develop deeper cooperation with the Kingdom's African Development Group, we can talk more. Question." His Royal Highness threw out an olive branch.

　　 "I am willing to discuss related issues with you, and hope that we can bring the relationship between the two parties into a whole new stage." Kruger said flattered.
