Chapter 1280 South African Situation (First update, please subscribe)
……

After answering the call from the chief, Ma Rulong and Ahu were both stunned.

The two were dumbfounded, staring at each other for a while.

Ma Rulong was the first to slow down.

"The director asked me to fully cooperate with you. It seems that this has nothing to do with the law."

After regaining his strength, Ma Rulong knew that some things were not fully resolved by law, just like the current situation.

"Then you have to make it clear first. If anyone, no matter who, hears about this plan, sooner or later it will spread to the outside world, such as the public opinion circles. As long as they hear the wind, they will definitely try their best to find out the truth. At that time, neither of you and I can stop them from exposing this operation. So, at that time, I will definitely deny all of this."

"Don't worry, our side will definitely protect our own people."

Jing Zaigui said,
"Now you are one of us too, and I have a much greater stake in this matter than you."

Hearing what he said, Ma Rulong nodded and said.

"Okay, I will fully cooperate with you."

Now Ma Rulong even felt a little bit regretful. He had always been reluctant to deal with agencies like the Investigation Bureau and the Security Bureau, but he didn't expect that he would rush in anyway.Not only do they have to deal with them now, but they even have to cover them.

Not that he was willing to give them such cover, but that he simply had no other choice.

In the past, it didn't feel that the choice was important, but after experiencing this incident, he discovered that the most precious thing in the world is precisely this kind of choice.

After more than an hour, Ma Rulong left the pier. In the car, Ahu asked.

"Chief Inspector, where did you say the ammunition was shipped to? What was it used for?"

"Do you know what I learned from dealing with the Bureau of Investigation a few times?"

Ma Rulong said,
"Just don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, you never know what you asked, what you said, and what trouble those things will bring you, we... are just the police? "

Ah Hu didn't think about these things, he pondered for a while, and then said.

"I understand, I won't ask anything from now on."

The heavy rain was still falling. Looking at the heavy rain outside the car window, Ma Rulong had countless questions in his heart. Although he didn't seem to care about the whereabouts of the munitions, he could vaguely feel some kind of signal.

What kind of signal is it?

war!

Will war break out?

Ma Rulong muttered to himself, where will the war...will start?

……

In Pretoria in April, it was the end of summer. At this time, the city was full of flowers and trees. This lush city has always been highly praised by the diplomatic missions of the Ming Dynasty. After all, they are used to the garden style of the Ming Dynasty. After living in the city, they naturally like a similar environment.

The embassy of the Ming Empire in the Transvaal itself is a garden, and in the center of the garden is a spectacular modern "Xingxia-style building", which is modern without losing the charm of China.

On the platform at the top of the building, several military officers stood by the eaves. They sometimes observed the distance, and sometimes turned their heads and said.

"...From this point of view, the sooner they start, the better. As the British continue to strengthen their forces, the balance of forces is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to the Boers. It is not enough to lure the enemy to intercept and attack them. Yes, we still have to take the initiative to attack, only in this way can we inflict heavy damage on the British before they are ready..."

"That's true, today is different from the past."

Zhao Wenyu sighed, and nodded his forehead with his fingers:
"The newly appointed Lord Milner took full advantage of the dissatisfaction of the aliens and incited the 4 British aliens in the Transvaal to write a tearful appeal to Queen Victoria in early April. , In fact, it paves the way for Britain to declare war, and now the British Parliament is not so much discussing related matters, it is better to say that it is waiting for reinforcements to be dispatched, once the troops are sufficient, they will definitely declare war.”

Sun Huatao nodded and said.

"In fact, once war breaks out, this country will become an isolated island blocked on all sides. If we are under pressure to stop aid to them, or cut off the railway, then they will not receive any aid and can only rely on their usual savings. If Britain is determined enough to invest more and stronger forces, considering that the Boers have a population of only 50, it is difficult for them alone to persist for a long time."

Zhao Wenyu shook his head:
"The attitude of the empire is very clear. If the war breaks out, we will definitely support the Boers with all our strength. Even if the war has not yet broken out, the empire has already shipped weapons worth tens of millions of yuan in various ways, but it is limited Support in terms of weapons and other aspects, if you want to end the war, you still have to rely on yourself, this country can only expect effective international intervention to end the war on the premise of gaining sufficient advantages on the battlefield.”

Song Xueqian asked back:

"Effective international intervention? Let's not say that Britain is the number one power in the world today. Behind him are allies such as Germany, the United States, and Italy. Once the empire is involved, if they all have a share, who will intervene? And The interests of the empire in Africa are extremely important. Unless the empire is willing to tear their face apart for the Boers, interference is completely out of the question, and don’t expect France. France has no interests at all south of central Africa. As for Madagascar, the British have no interest in it. There is no interest at all, they are reacting now, but only because of the tradition of Anglo-French confrontation."

Zhao Wenyu, Sun Huatao and others were silent for a moment, and after a while, Sun Huatao spoke.

"Victory or perish, the fate of this country is sealed."

Zhao Wenyu stood up. He stared at the city and the capital of the Transvaal Republic with a telescope. Then he put his hands behind his back and stood like a pillar.

"I don't think this country can be easily conquered."

After a slight pause, he said again.

"I live on the prairie, and I know and understand those Boers. What is their living environment like? The turbulent migration, the barren grassland, and the brutal war with the indigenous people have long sharpened their character. How can such a group of people who endure hardships and stand hard work, live a frugal life, and advocate force, easily compromise?"

Lowering his eyes, Zhao Wenyu thought for a while:

"If the information is accurate and war is indeed inevitable, I am sure that the Boers will definitely adopt a pre-emptive strategy..."

As soon as his voice fell, the others retorted.

"How is this possible? There is such a huge disparity in their strength!"

"Yeah, this is too arrogant!"

"It's not arrogance!"

Shaking his head, Zhao Wenyu said.

"That's their only chance of survival. They're either going to strike first now, hit the British hard before they get the upper hand, force the British to fight back before they're ready, and then they'll take the opportunity to lure British troops into invasion. They will use the method of luring the enemy to go deep, and hit the British army again..."

Zhao Wenyu picked up a cigarette, but struck three matches in a row but failed to light it. He didn't light the cigarette until the fourth match was struck, and then said.

"Only in this way can they seize the initiative in the war and force the British to return to the negotiating table!"
