Chapter 496： The Power of Tofu Project (1/2)

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

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

If the Kingdom of Prussia joins the alliance, will the Russian Empire also join it? The Russians came in, and the Nordic Federation was ready to enter.

One by one, it won't be long before European countries come in, and this alliance becomes useless.

The troublesome talents of the British have to say, thinking about things all the time. Be an ally with them, and be vigilant at all times. If you accidentally get pitted, this is not much safer than being an enemy.

The changing situation in Europe still affected the South African war. Since the British had reinforced a number of Indian legions, Viscount Fickney's second plan was useless.

Even if the flaws were deliberately revealed, the British did not intend to go out of town to fight decisively. There is no limit to your ever-changing nature, and I mean nothing.

Over time, the population in the Cape Town area has plummeted, war refugees have been transferred by John Bull, and the rest are military.

The British, whose logistical pressure has eased, have not been idle and are stockpiling supplies for the winter, which seems to be a protracted battle.

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

Cannon fodder, except for the financial department, no one is distressed. The strategic bankruptcy that originally intended to use cannon fodder forces to increase garrison casualties and force the British to withdraw.

There is no way to consume this, the first thing that cannot be sustained is Austria. Recruiting is difficult and cannon fodder is not enough.

The African continent was originally large and 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 has progressed, the colonial government has provided millions of cannon fodder, and almost all the tribes that have been found have been recruited once.

These troops were either lost in the early battles, fell in siege battles, or were executed by the oversight team. The current rate of recruitment is no longer enough to keep up with the front line.

Of course, with such a large number of casualties, the number of deserters in the cannon fodder is naturally not insignificant. South Africa is so large that if you just dig into the forest, it's all a hiding place.

As long as it hid in the mountains, the republican army could not continue to pursue. As long as you don't run in groups, it's easy to hide.

It is needless to say that the harm of the soldier collapse has not yet immigrated to the British South Africa area that has just been occupied, and the victims have naturally become the local indigenous tribes.

The soldiers also need to eat. Although the food in the jungle is abundant, it is not enough to have more soldiers.

There is not enough food, so you can only go out and grab it. Naturally, no one in the Bur Republic army dared to move, holding cold weapons, and ran to rob the modern army, unless it was impossible.

The law of the jungle, weak meat and strong food. The blood mold was reached without a strong indigenous tribe. These deserters did not dare to make trouble when they faced the army of the Boer Republic.

No, you ca n’t count yourself. As long as the tribe is their own, the others are enemies. It is natural to treat the enemy fiercely. For a while, the area around Cape Town was chaotic. I do n’t know how many tribes are going to perish.

Viscount Fickney was ignorant of this change and he did not care about the internal strife of the indigenous tribes. The delay in conquering Cape Town increased the pressure on Viscount Fickney.

It is almost impossible for the British to admit defeat. The enemy has a maritime advantage. Unless the British and Austrian nations completely tear their faces and the Austrian African colonial forces participate in the war, Viscount Fickney will not have the confidence to push side by side with his own strength.

More pressure than him was the Governor Delphi. Viscount Fickney still won the battle anyway, it was nothing more than the size of the battle. Governor Delphi lost all the way.

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

If you have a satellite map, you will find that the original Cape Town, most of it fell into the hands of the ”Boers,” and only a small area in the hands of the British.

It's just that this has no effect. There are a lot of reinforced concrete fortresses in the back. From Cape Town to Cape of Good Hope, all look at the fortress bunkers.

Quality can't be beaten, but there are enough! Governor Delphi's turtle tactics seem inconspicuous, but the practicality still has to be said.

Of course, this tactic can only be played by wealthy Brits. Don't look at the fortresses of these tofu dregs projects, almost all raw materials are transported from the outside.

For example: cement and steel bars are transported from home. The transportation distance alone makes the cost up.

The project turned into tofu dregs, and that was all forced out. Sand and gravel are taken locally, and 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 with seawater.
