The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

In April 1799, Queen Victoria, King of the Sunset, received a letter from the Sunset diaspora from the South Philippine colony.

In this letter, the sun never sets on the expatriates tearfully describes their tragic experience in the South Philippine colony.

And the main culprits of this tragic experience are the Boers living in the Transvaal Republic!

It was just a very common letter of redress, and the queen didn't pay much attention to it at first.

Soon, however, Sir Alfred Milner, the governor of the South Philippine colony, reported a report of war.

But it made the whole country boil without setting the whole sun!

This war report shows that the sun does not set on a civilian armed force in the South Philippine colony.

Within their own territory, they were attacked by the Boers.

The battle ended in a crushing defeat for the Sunset, and nearly 500 Sunset, including Dr. Jensen, were wiped out.

Dr. Jensen himself was brought back to the Transvaal Republic, where the Boers were about to put him on trial.

After this news came, there was an uproar before the sun set.

The arrogance of the Boers shocked the people of the sun!26 No one had ever dared to treat them so brutally, not even the great powers of Europe.

They are also polite to them, and they will not launch such an unreasonable surprise attack.

So, the sun did not set, and the people immediately became angry.

People flocked to the Palace of Westminster, demanding that the sun never set on the government to send troops against the Boers.

While rescuing Dr. Jensen, he teaches them a hard lesson.

Let them know that the empire on which the sun never sets is not so easy to bully!

The strong voice of the people has forced the government to pay attention to this matter.

The colonial minister Joseph Chamberlain advocated the use of forceful means to wage war against the Boers.

Rescue the captured soldiers and Dr. Jensen by force, and eliminate the huge hidden danger of the Boers once and for all.

This view was strongly supported by the radical wing of the parliament, and even the military sided with Chamberlain.

The reason why so many people advocate war against the Boers is not that they really have that sense of justice.

It's time to rescue Dr. Jensen and his army!

They did this out of concern for the gold in the hands of the Boers!

Yes, the main reason why the sun never sets to attack the Boers is that the Boers have discovered the largest gold mine in the world - the Witwatersrand gold mine!

As early as 1784, prospectors discovered a large-scale underground gold mine on a remote pasture between Pretoria and the Vaal River.

Subsequently, after careful exploration and investigation, they confirmed that the gold mine was the first time that humans had reached it.

There is no one of the largest and most abundant gold mines ever discovered!

Experts have found that beneath this area are several huge gold veins.

Among them, the most important gold-bearing conglomerate formation is even 30 kilometers long, and its gold reserves may exceed 50,000 tons!

50,000 tons of gold!

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately detonated the world!

Countless people are salivating over this place!

However, this gold mine is located on the territory of the Transvaal Republic.

And the South Philippine region, where the Transvaal Republic is located, is a colony on which the sun never sets!

As a result, the sun never sets on people naturally regard this gold mine as their private property!

If other countries dare to covet this gold mine, they will inevitably be suppressed by the sun that never sets.

With the strong strength on which the sun never sets, many countries are weighing their own weight.

After weighing the gains and losses, they could only shake their heads and give up this greed.

The problem is that the owners of this gold mine are Boers. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

They didn't agree with the idea that the sun never sets, so they went around the world's largest gold mine.

The contradictions between the Sunset and the Boers began to expand, and in recent years they have reached the point of fighting each other.

This time, the so-called Dr. Jensen and his army were attacked by the Boers.

In fact, it was a farce written and staged by the Sunset Men themselves, the purpose of which was to win them a pretext for war against the Boers.

Therefore, when the news came, the sun never set and everyone was ecstatic. []

When they were finally able to justifiably send troops to rob the Boers of the gold, how could they stand up against it?

As a result, the parliamentary vote received overwhelming support.

The overwhelming majority of parliamentarians are in favor of war against the Boers!

And so, the war between the sun never set and the Boers began!

......

In order to eliminate the Boers as soon as possible, take control of their gold mines, and prevent other countries from intervening.

The sun never sets mobilized 50,000 troops, plus 80,000 colonial troops in the South Philippine colony itself.

The total strength of the British army reached 130,000!

With such a large number of troops, the sun never sets is clearly preparing to destroy the Boers in one fell swoop with a thunderous force.

The population of the Boers is small, only about 400,000.

Even if they had mobilized all adult men to fight, their strength would not have exceeded 80,000.

So even in the most optimistic scenario, the Boers were at an absolute disadvantage.

In addition, the Boers are a farming and pastoral country, and there is no decent industry in the country.

Therefore, their 660 weapons and equipment are all dependent on foreign imports, and they are simply unable to manufacture weapons themselves.

With the strength of the Royal Navy, they could easily cut off the Boers' trading channels.

Blockading the borders of the Boers deprived them of outside support.

In this way, the British army relied on the superiority in numbers, with the superiority in weapons and equipment.

Coupled with their accumulated rich combat experience, they are confident that they can easily destroy the opponent's main force!

Once the main Boer army had been eliminated, the British army would immediately march into the Transvaal Republic.

Some of the troops were to keep the country safe, while the other part of the army moved into the mines and took control of the gold mine.

The sun never sets felt that the difficulty of the battle was not how to defeat the Boer army.

It's about how to prevent the rest of Europe from fishing in troubled waters, if they take advantage of the fact that the sun still sets to fight the Boers.

If you take the opportunity to send troops to occupy this gold mine, you will be in great trouble if the sun does not set!

So, they had to beat the Boers as fast as they could!

At the beginning of the war, the confident sun never set, and it was absolutely unexpected.

The Boers, whom they despised, gave them a fiasco that shocked the whole world!

And this war also swears that the sun will never set, the beginning of the decline of the empire!
