Chapter 1311 The Jackal Strikes Out (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Who is the common enemy?
Of course it's England!

As the boss will always pull hatred.

And for the French Second Empire, Britain is the deadly enemy.

This is not because of history, nor because of a conflict of interest.It was because the British murdered their emperor. Of course, until now, this is still a top secret that only a few people know, but Claude is also one of the insiders.

If it is said that Daming wanted to "kill the eagle and eat the meat", then France just wanted to eat its bones.

In order to be able to take revenge, the French are of course willing to bear all costs.

It's just a piece of land that belongs to the sphere of influence of France, which is not worth mentioning at all. France's previous attitude was entirely for the sake of face. Now, for revenge, France is naturally willing to pay some price.

Of course, this does not mean that Russia does not need to pay a price. As the price for France’s agreement with Russia’s occupation of the Juno Bay area, the Roman Empire needs to pay France 300 million gold rubles for the purchase of that piece of land that is called "Juno Bay" in another world. Djibouti" land.

After the diplomats of the two countries reached a consensus in China, the Roman Empire signed the contract and paid the money. For the Roman Empire, the acquisition of Juno Bay not only meant that they got an African colony, but more importantly, Yes, they got a stronghold to enter the Indian Ocean. With this stronghold on the east coast of Africa, they could have a transshipment base, and then the Roman Empire would have a reliable port to sail from the mainland to India and even the Pacific Ocean farther away.

This also means that the polar bear's claws have finally reached the Indian Ocean.

Although the behavior of this polar bear poses a threat to the United Kingdom, for the British who are deeply mired in the Anglo-Boer War, they simply don't care about all of this right now.

"I will do everything in my power to end this war and restore the glory of the British Empire to that fertile soil."

At the Khartoum Railway Station, Gordon, the "Conqueror of Sudan", said so confidently in front of the officials who came to see him off.

For Gordon, who successfully conquered Sudan and suppressed the "Mahdi uprising", he is confident enough to complete this mission.

Even as he stepped onto the train to Port Sudan, Gordon couldn't help but imagine how he would be able to claim the title of "Conqueror of South Africa" ​​for himself.

"...First of all, we need a lot of machine guns."

On the galloping train, Gordon said directly to the accompanying officer Charlie.

"At least 500 machine guns need to be purchased, whether it is a ten-year model or a Maxim. With them, we will definitely win the war."

Why is Gordon so confident?
Because he conquered Sudan with machine guns, those fanatical Mahdi rebels may be fanatical, but their fanaticism is not worth mentioning in front of machine guns, and it can even be said that they are sending them to death.

It is precisely because of the successful use of machine guns in Sudan that Gordon has full confidence in machine guns.

"There are also mortars, we need more mortars..."

While Gordon was planning his conquest on the train, what he didn't know was that he had been blacklisted by the South African Secret Intelligence Service.

"We have to kill him!"

In the office of the South African Secret Intelligence Service in Pretoria, Wang Jingchu looked at Williams in front of him and said.

"For your country, Gordon is an extremely serious threat. When he comes here, he will definitely use his experience in suppressing the rebellion in Sudan to South Africa, and it is very likely that it will bring you an unprecedented blow. Therefore, It is necessary for the Intelligence Agency to get rid of him before he can play a role."

The South African Secret Intelligence Service was established before the outbreak of the Boer War. It not only engaged in intelligence collection, but also provided a large number of weapons to the Boers in the Cape Town colony before the outbreak of the war. Now the Boer guerrillas in the colony , mostly under its command.

And Williams is its creator.

"I think so."

Williams nodded.

"However, how do we get rid of him? Major, it is almost impossible for him to appear on the battlefield as the governor. We can't go to Cape Town and kill that guy."

"Why not?"

Wang Jingchu said directly.

"Sir, I think we can make a plan."

……

In the middle of the night, a figure was walking on the dark streets of Cape Town, wearing a pair of old black leather shoes, old trousers and a jackal with an open collar shirt. It looked no different from ordinary white workers near the pier.The only difference is that he is carrying a suitcase in his hand.

Soon, he came to a building, and then came directly to the door of a room on the top floor. He took out the key from under the floor mat, opened the door, entered the room, and locked the door immediately.

"It's here."

Looking out of the window at the pier through the curtain, the Jackal said to himself.

Half a month ago, he was still a sniper on the front line, shooting and killing British guys on the battlefield, one after another British veterans were sent to see God.

And now?He arrived in Cape Town as an ordinary person, and like many first-timers, he seemed a bit down and out.

Of course, he didn't come here to enjoy life, but to complete a task.

After drawing the curtains, the Jackal put the suitcase on the ground, and then he took out a box from the closet. In the box, there was a weapon prepared for him-a Webster 100 shotgun. Daming Beihai's shotguns are world-renowned for their precise shooting. Coupled with a 4x scope produced by Phoenix Optical Instruments, they can even accurately hit targets 1000 meters away.

"It's the best rifle ever."

When he picked up the rifle, he took out a box of Brown Bear brand 7.5mm bullets. This bullet is different from ordinary bullets. Its bullet head is made of pure copper, and its accuracy is much higher than that of ordinary bullets. The shotgun is perfect together.

"Only need two bullets at most..."

Two bullets are enough. For an excellent hunter, two bullets are sometimes a waste. After all, when hunting, even an extra bullet is a waste, especially on the South African plateau. A bullet is expensive, and like all Boers, the Jackal has long practiced a good marksmanship.

Even that is why he is called "Jackal", because he is a scavenger on the steppe.

Once again, the jackal stood by the window, staring at the port through the slit, and then just sat there, just like he used to hunt on the prairie, quietly waiting for the prey to appear.
