Holy Roman Empire

France and Russia have begun to move closer, which has also accelerated the negotiations between Britain and Austria.In order to increase the right to speak, the British even prepared to pull the Prussians into the Union.

There is no doubt that this has been strongly opposed by France and Austria.The cake is so big, the three divisions have been very reluctant, how could it be possible to put another competitor in?

If the Kingdom of Prussia joined the alliance, would the Russian Empire also join in?The Russians came in, and the Nordic Federation could enter.

One by one, it will not take long for European countries to come in, and this alliance will become useless.

The trouble-making talents of the British have nothing to say, thinking about doing things all the time.To be an ally with them, be vigilant at all times and be pitted if you are not careful. This is no safer than being an enemy.

The changing situation in Europe still affected the South African War.Since the British have reinforced a group of Indian legions, Viscount Fickney ’s second plan has no use.

Even if the flaw was deliberately revealed, the British did not mean to fight out of the city.It's up to you to be ever-changing, I mean not moving at all.

Over time, the population of the Cape Town area has also plummeted. War refugees have been transferred by John Bull, and the rest are troops.

The British, whose logistics pressure has been relieved, are not idle. They are storing supplies for the winter. It seems that they are going to fight a protracted war.

Up to now, the war has also changed. A group of Indian soldiers and black soldiers are often seen in scuffles, and the British and British troops have become governors.

Cannon fodder to cannon fodder, except for the financial department, no one is distressed.Originally wanted to use cannon fodder troops to increase the number of defenders casualties, forcing the British to withdraw from the strategic bankruptcy.

There is no way to continue this, the first one who can't sustain it is definitely Austria.Conscription is difficult, and cannon fodder is not enough.

The African continent was originally 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 is in progress, the colonial government has provided millions of cannon fodders, and almost all the tribes found have been conscripted once.

These troops were either lost in the early battle, or fell in the siege battle, or were executed by the supervising team.The current recruiting speed can no longer keep up with the consumption speed of the front line.

Of course, with so many casualties, the number of deserters in the cannon fodder is naturally not small.The area of ​​South Africa is so large, just drill into the mountain forest, it is a hiding place.

As long as they hid in the mountains, the Boer Republican Army could not continue to pursue.As long as you do n’t run together in groups, it ’s easy to hide.

It is needless to say that the destruction of soldiers has not immigrated in the newly occupied British South Africa, and the victims have naturally become local indigenous tribes.

Broken soldiers also have to eat, although the food in the jungle is rich, but if there are too many broken soldiers, it is not enough.

If there is not enough food, you can only go out and grab it.Naturally, no one dared to move the army of the Republic of Boer, holding cold weapons and ran to rob the modern army, unless it was impossible to think about it.

The law of the jungle, weak meat and strong food.Without the young and indigenous tribes, there was blood mold, and these deserters did not dare to build up when facing the army of the Republic of Boer, and were not soft when they met their own people.

No, you can't count yourself.As long as the people of the same tribe are their own people, the others are enemies.It is natural to treat the enemy fiercely. There was a chaos in the area around Cape Town for a time. I do n’t know how many tribes are going to perish.

This change, Viscount Fickney is ignorant, he does not care about the internal disputes of indigenous tribes.Unable to conquer Cape Town, the pressure of Viscount Fickney increased greatly.

It is almost impossible to make the British admit defeat.The enemy has maritime superiority. Unless Britain and Austria completely tear their faces, and the Austrian-African colonial forces participate in the war, with the strength of their own hands, Viscount Fickney does not have the confidence to push sideways.

More pressure than him was Governor Delphi. In any case, Viscount Fickney still won the battle. It is nothing more than the result of the victory. Governor Delphi has suffered defeat all the way.

The siege that lasted for almost half a year was not without effect. Looking at the shells and lives, Cape Town was almost destroyed.

If there is a satellite map, you will find that the original Cape Town city, most of the area fell into the hands of the "Boers", and only a small area was controlled by the British.

But this has no effect. There are a lot of reinforced concrete fortresses behind. From Cape Town to the Cape of Good Hope, all of them are fortress bunkers.

The quality can't be achieved, but the quantity is enough!Governor Delphi's turtle tactics seem inconspicuous, but the practicality still has to be said.

Of course, this tactic is only affordable to the wealthy British.Don't look at the strongholds of these bean curd dregs projects, almost all raw materials are shipped from outside.

For example: Cement and steel are transported from the local area, and the transportation distance alone makes the cost increase.

The project turned into tofu dregs, and that was forced out.The sand and gravel materials are collected locally, but 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 by sea water.

Too much helplessness has been added together, making the fort built by the British in the later period more and more rubbish. Most of the time, only the quantity is pursued, and the quality is not considered at all.

However, these issues are still unknown to the attacking Bohr Republic Army. After all, they were hard-boned in the early days, and now they are fighting in the street. They have not been exposed to these real okara projects.

Now that you know it's a okara project, why do you need to repair it?There are many reasons for this, relying on fortifications to deter enemies, and using temporary fortresses for strategic deception.

This is the reason for Governor Delphi ’s report to the London government, which can only be regarded as a reluctance.

This level of strategic deception may be effective before the outbreak. The war has already started. As long as the shells have passed, the reality and the reality will soon be exposed.

But the fortress is still to be repaired, or otherwise the capitalists who raise the raw materials, how to make money?These special businesses are all big domestic ones.

Governor Delphi will never do anything that breaks people's wealth.This is also the reason why he is nervous now. Once the last area of ​​Cape Town is lost, the tofu project behind will be exposed.

The fortifications, which cost millions of pounds, were vulnerable on the battlefield, and it was difficult for Governor Delphi to retreat safely.

"Well, how are the negotiations between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Austrians going?"

The cruel reality made the Governor of Delphi pin his hopes on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.As long as the government of Vienna is settled, the "Bohr Republic Army" outside the city will soon disperse.

I really thought I was wearing a vest, so I don't know who is who?If the Boers were so strong, they would not have to travel inland.

"Your Excellency, this negotiation is going very smoothly, but it does not involve the South African issue. The Austrians are determined to fight against the Boers, and if you want to negotiate, talk to the Government of the Bohr Republic."

Will is very depressed, and no one wants to lift the lid.There is simply no way to start negotiations on the South African war.

Unless they are willing to put down their faces, listen to the Austrian's suggestion, and negotiate with the vest "Boer Republic Government".

The London government couldn't hide its face, so she put the problem on hold.This is only a superficial statement, and Governor Delphi is very clear that the real reason is that no one wants to be blamed.

All failed on the battlefield, how could there be good fruit at the negotiating table?On the question of South Africa, British concessions have become inevitable. If the treaty signed suffers, it will be an indelible stain in the diplomatic career.

It is the instinct of politicians to tend to interest, and Governor Delphi saw it openly without complaining.After a deep sigh, he said: "Well, the matter is so far back!

Will generated electricity for the London government. In order to protect the interests of the empire and reduce the losses caused by the war, the Cape Town colonial government applied for diplomatic negotiations with the Republic of Boer."

This means that the British South Africa strategy is completely bankrupt. As a frontline executive, Governor Delphi must be responsible for this.

However, it is better to negotiate now than to negotiate after the defeat of the war.If the enemy had been pushed to the Cape of Good Hope all the way, if he didn't want to go to the military court, Governor Delphi could only die in the battlefield and give an explanation to the country.

In this case, it is better to take the initiative to take responsibility.With this war feeding a lot of dignitaries, his ending will not be too miserable.

Many people who have lost the battle have to go, and not everyone must be held accountable.The only problem with Governor Delphi is that he provoked the war and failed to win it.

As long as a treaty that is barely passable is signed and returned to China to avoid years of limelight, things will pass.

Governor Delphi has a backstage, and he can continue to be an official after the limelight has passed.

In the current crisis, the British are still efficient. On the same day, they made a negotiation request to the opposite government of the Republic of Boer.

Having received an invitation from the British to negotiate, Viscount Fickney was dumbfounded.For this war, he also exhausted his thoughts. He never thought of a way to win Cape Town. He did not expect the British to admit defeat.

Negotiations must be negotiated, and Cape Town cannot be relied upon by force. It is no longer necessary to continue fighting.

The Austrian nobles who participated in this war all had their own family business. They could not leave for too long. Their military achievements were almost enough, and their goal was completed.No one can have a good conversation with the British.

The tofu dregs project behind the British is really easy to deal with. The problem is that Viscount Fickney and others did not even know it, and thought it was a genuine fortress.

The information is asymmetric, and Viscount Fickney naturally dares not take risks.Otherwise, he might be able to gamble and launch a full-scale offensive directly, at all costs to drive the British out of South Africa.
