1855 United States Tycoon

Just when the British expats planned to unite inside and outside to defeat the "tyranny" of the Boers in one fell swoop, and let South Africa belong to Britain and the gold mine to belong to Cecil Rhodes, there was suddenly fierce gunfire from afar. .

"What's wrong? Didn't it mean that it was early tomorrow morning?" Mr. Dahl was taken aback. He understood that the fighting at this time was definitely not good news. This only means that Jensen's actions have been exposed. The question now is what is going on with Jensen. Did they reveal whether the Boers were precautionary or were they too stupid and careless?

If it is the latter, then the Boers also have the problem of insufficient troops, and they may also have a defensive hole. At this time, Mr. Dahl should act decisively and immediately attack the city government and police station to counter Jason's actions.

But if it is the former, if the Boers have been prepared, then there is no doubt that not only Jensen and the others must have fallen into the ambush of the Boers, even on their side, the Boers must have been prepared long ago. If they knew the information ahead of time, they would definitely be able to mobilize enough mining police to deal with Jason's mere 500 people and a little bit of insurgent power here. If this is the case, the best thing I should do is not immediately lead people out and fight the Boers desperately, because that is to die. The Boers must also be willing to see these unstable factors jump out and die. At this time, it would be great for a guy to get rid of these instability factors reasonably and legally. So at this time, what they should do most is to give up the riot immediately and destroy all relevant evidence as much as possible.

Now, this choice has been placed in front of Mr. Dahl and the others, and they don't have much time to hesitate. The decision must be made now, otherwise it will be too late to pursue anything.

...

Dmitry poked his head out of the trench quietly, and after a glance, he was dragged down by the squad leader Lawrence next to him:

"Don't mess around, others have found out!"

At this time, Jason's mine police were walking along this road towards here. This is already within the territory of the Transvaal Republic, so they must be extra cautious.

"Quickly rush to the mining area, and then we can send someone to contact the people of the'Alien Reform Committee'. Fortunately, the destination is not far away. When we get there, someone in the mine will naturally provide us with cover." Jensen thought. As a company executive, he also knows the danger of this operation. Even he understood the calculations behind his boss, Mr. Cecil Rhodes. However, as long as he can go back alive, no matter the success or failure of the matter, the boss will definitely give him a good treatment. But the prerequisite for all this is that he must be able to go back alive.

In order to ensure that he would go back alive, Jason also spent a lot of thought. He was walking in the middle of the team and was not riding a horse, so the first bullet hit him, making him less likely to surrender in time. In addition, he also prepared a steel helmet for himself. According to people in United States, this thing can drastically reduce the death rate. Therefore, although the United Kingdom ridiculed the people in United States as cowards, Jensen still prepared one for himself.

At this time, the mine police have gradually stepped into the Boer's ambush circle.

"Prepare." The commander of Celter whispered, and at the same time opened the insurance of the McDonald's automatic pistol in his hand. The machine gunner Karl also gently pulled the bolt on. His assistant Wald gently installed the canvas bullet chain. Unlike the water-cooled heavy machine guns that are now popular in Europe, the machine gun in Karl's hand is the latest product of McDonald's Infantry Weapons Company. Unlike the bulky water-cooled machine gun, this machine gun is relatively lightweight, and a slightly stronger soldier can carry this thing and fly away. Of course, the bullets and spare barrels still need to be carried by another person. If another traverser shows up and sees this machine gun, he will definitely shout: "Damn it, it's MG-42!"

All the mine police have entered the ambush circle.

"Fire!" The company commander gave an order. Wald immediately pulled the gun, and the hot tongue of fire was immediately ejected from the muzzle, and a series of bullets dragged out a long red band of light, which swept across like a saw. Immediately knocked down a large row of mine police. At the same time, several 60mm mortars started firing frantically, gunshots, explosions, shouts, and groans suddenly rang out.

More than a dozen machine guns, hundreds of rifles, and several mortars woven a fire net of Death from different angles. The mine police were completely beaten, and those who were still alive could not take care of fighting back. They just went everywhere in vain. Look for a place to hide, and then be knocked down by the flying bullets.

"Casefire! We surrender!" Jason found a small depression and hid, and then shouted loudly. But his voice was completely drowned out by gunfire. But it didn't bother him. He immediately took out the white flag that had been prepared a long time ago from his own clothes, then picked it up with a rifle and shook it vigorously.

I don't know how long it has been shaking, maybe only a few seconds, maybe a full century. The gunfire finally stopped, and then Jensen heard a voice shouting: "Put down your weapon! Raise your hands and stand up!"

Jason hurriedly tore the white flag from the rifle, grabbed it in his hand, and got up with shaking legs. He accidentally fell and caused the Boers who were standing opposite to laugh.

"These useless guys, how dare they come to our idea?" a Boer soldier said contemptuously.

"I heard that their army is more useless than these mine police." Another Boer soldier also smiled and replied, looking at Jason and others with contempt.

"I can't underestimate the British. It is said that the British army is still very elite." Another person who looks like an officer said, "Okay, hurry up and control these people, and the wounded, I am afraid that they will also need to be dealt with urgently. Click." At least at this time, the Boers haven't completely turned their faces with the British, so the necessary gentlemanship is still needed.

So the Burr soldiers straightened up their bayonet rifles and surrounded them.

In the original history, Jensen’s expedition ended in a devastated defeat, but because the Boer’s firepower in the original history was not so brutal, although Jensen’s expedition was also ambushed by others, but five Only a hundred died out of a hundred people, but this time, the Boer’s firepower was horribly brutal. It was a clip-on rifle, a machine gun, and a mortar. As a result, it was hit hard. In the end, more than a hundred people were killed in history, and only a hundred people survived.

By this time, Jason had been forced by the Boers with a bayonet just like everyone else. He lifted the magazine and transported the injured mine policemen. Because of the close distance, he could clearly see the blue-baked barrels of the McDonald’s 1864 II rifles in the soldiers’ hands, as well as the sand-washed and dull McDonald III mounted under the barrels. Prismatic flat-nosed gun. Stabbing.

...

Time does not allow Mr. Dahl to hesitate, but Mr. Dahl, who has never experienced such a crisis, hesitated for too long. He felt as if it had only been a while before the fierce gunfire ceased. The cessation of the gunfire made Mr. Dahl have an illusion for a while that everything just now was an own illusion. But he still woke up quickly, and he understood that it was definitely not a good thing to stop the gunfire so quickly. Because if Mr. Jason's people were accidentally exposed and fought with the Boers, they would never have resolved the battle so quickly. But now, the gunfire stopped so fast, so only one point, that is, the Boers had been prepared for a long time, and Mr. Jensen, they all fell into the trap of an ambush. That being the case, now near their location, the Boers must have already done an ambush.

"Damn it! Burn all the records right away! Put the guns back in the storeroom!" Mr. Dahl screamed. Due to fear, his voice became extremely sharp, making him not believe that the sound was made by him. of.

At this time, a man rushed in and shouted, "Sir, Mr. Dahl, we are surrounded. Those Boer police are going to come in and search!" At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the committee. .

"Quick! Hide the gun and the plans!" Mr. Dahl shouted. So the whole hall immediately became a mess. At this time the door outside was slammed open suddenly, and a group of heavily armed Boer police rushed in, shouting: "Hands up!"

Mr. Dahl tried his best to calm himself down. He stepped forward and said to the policeman who led the team: "What are you going to do? This is private territory!"

"We got a tip saying that you are plotting riots. This is a search warrant produced by the court. We are going to search this building and detain you temporarily. Please do not resist law enforcement." The police officer put a search warrant in Dar The husband shook his eyes for a moment, and said in a cold tone. At the same time, some policemen around him have seized important positions and set up machine guns.

"This is totally shameless slander!" Mr. Dahl's face was pale.

But at this time, the police officer completely ignored him. He just waved his hand and said, "Search!"

In a short while, a lot of things were gathered in front of Mr. Darr and the police officer. The Boer police officer looked at these things in the same way.

"Very well, the letter with the Cape Colony discussing how to cooperate with them to win Johannesburg. It's really good... Well, this one is better. The map and the battle plan are really professionally prepared... Sir, you Do you still think this is slander?"

When these evidences were found in the same way, Mr. Dahl gradually calmed down. He raised his head and said to the police officer: "We demand fair treatment and trial, sir, don’t forget, the British Empire is The most powerful country in the world."

Then he turned around and said to the trembling expatriates: "Don't be afraid, compatriots. We have to believe that no matter where we are, the United Kingdom government and the Royal Army are your strong backing."
