The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

The news of the empire's declaration of war on the Boers did not attract much attention in Europe.

After all, in the eyes of all countries, the sun never sets is the world hegemon and the number one power in the world.

And the Boers, on the other hand?

Their strength is not even as good as that of a small third-rate country, just a few broken guns.

Who can they beat?

So, at the time of the war, almost all countries of the world.

Generally optimistic that the sun will not set!

The thought that after the sun never sets and destroys the Boers, he will immediately take the world's largest gold mine.

All countries are very envious in their hearts, and even a little jealous.

However, in the voices that are generally optimistic that the sun will not set.

Occasionally, you can hear a few different sounds as well.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the sun does not set and the man may fail?"

Emperor of the Second Empire, Andrews was one of them.

He felt that the sun never set would not only not be able to win easily, but would even suffer a heavy loss.

"Well, teacher, don't you think that's possible?"

Andrews asked with a smile.

Bismarck shook his head when he heard this, he was like everyone else.

Analyzing the strength of the warring parties, the Boers are not at all optimistic.

With such a huge disparity in strength on paper, he really couldn't understand what the Boers had to do in order to win.

"Although it is theoretically possible, this probability is so small that it is basically impossible!"

Bismarck shook his head and spoke.

Andrews's judgment of him is not surprising, in fact, it is basically the opinion of all countries.

Thinking of this, Andrews was curious about the attitude of the military.

So, he ordered Hindenburg, Moltke and others to come to the palace to ask for help.

See what they think of this war!

"The Boers are brave and good at fighting, and all the people are soldiers.

And the sun does not set, people come from afar, and the water and soil are not adapted.

The Boers, with their familiarity with the terrain, were able to cause some trouble for the sun to set in the early days, and I thought it was possible.

However, the potential of war on which the sun never sets is so great, even if it encounters a slight setback at the beginning.

It doesn't hurt them to suffer some losses.

The Boers, on the other hand, were too weak to afford even one defeat.

So in this war, I'm even more optimistic that the sun won't set~!"

General Schlieffen, Chief of the General Staff of the Reich, like Bismarck, felt that there was no hope for the Boers.

The attitudes of the other people were basically the same, and there were so many people at the scene.

Except for Andrews, none of them were bullish on the Boers.

"Hehe, since everyone thinks so, then we'll wait and see!"

The Emperor didn't care that the opinions of the people were different from his own, on the contrary, he found it interesting.

Even, he was already looking forward to the stunned reaction of these people after the battle report from Nanfei's side came.

"Your Majesty, the sun does not set and people send troops south, do we have to do something?"

Bismarck felt that this was a good opportunity, if they could seize it.

Maybe it can bring a lot of trouble to the people who don't set the sun!

"Of course, it doesn't matter who goes to war with the people on whom the sun never sets.

Our Second Empire is going to have a great show!"

Andrews said righteously.

The corners of Bismarck's mouth twitched slightly.

Don't look at what the emperor said about righteousness, in fact, he was worried about the gold in the hands of the Boers. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The Boers did not have the ability to produce weapons and equipment.

But these things are indispensable for war, so they are bound to buy them from other countries.

And the empire's arms trade is the pillar industry of foreign trade, so naturally we can't let go of such an opportunity to make a fortune!

What's more, it's different from other small countries.

The Boer state was small, but extremely wealthy. []

They have a huge gold mine with reserves of more than 50,000 tons, and the gold reserves in their hands are afraid that they only exceed the reserves of many countries.

Doing business with such a country would allow the empire to easily earn a lot of gold.

Compared with paper money, gold is obviously a more popular hard currency!

Bismarck nodded, he knew what to do!

......

South Philippines, the capital of the Boers, inside the city of Nesburg.

After hearing the news that the sun would never set on their declaration of war on them, the Boers were also very panicked.

Although they are very determined to defend their homeland to the death, the disparity between the forces of the enemy and the enemy is too great.

With their own strength, they may not be able to fight against the sun.

So, they had to find support!

And in today's world, countries that have the ability to keep up with the sun.

There are only a few, and given their own relations with these countries.

The Boers set their sights on Europe in the first place, and they were the descendants of European immigrants.

If you are a white race like a European, you can try to go to Europe and sell miserably, and win sympathy.

If they can win a few powerful countries that are willing to help them, then they have a chance to win this war.

So, the Boers secretly sent people north to Europe to seek support from various countries.

When they landed on the Iberian Peninsula, they first found the Sibanya, the former maritime overlords.

The sun never sets on Spain, and the two countries have been at war on several occasions.

And until now, the Strait of Gibraltar in southern Spain is still in the hands of the sun.

The Boers felt that the Sibanyans must have hated the sun never setting, so it was quite possible to help them.

The Boers were right, the Spanish people hated the sun never set.

However, it is a pity that Sibanya has already sunset at this time.

They are long gone, plus in last year's Spanish-American War.

They were beaten by Eagle Sauce and lost colonies such as the Caribbean and Luzon.

Also paid $20 million in war reparations to Eagle Sauce!

This made them, who were already poor, completely decline.

So, in response to the Boers' request, they said they could not help.

No matter how much they hate the sun that never sets, they don't dare to provoke the sun at such a time.

Compared to the Eagle Sauce people, the sun never sets is closer to them and more dangerous.

Angered by the Eagle Sauce people, the Eagle Sauce people can only send troops to attack their colony Xingxing.

But if they anger the Sunset, the Sunseters can directly send troops to attack their homeland.

The Boers had no choice but to leave Spain and continue north to Gaul.

Gaul and the sun never set are feuds, and the two countries have fought for hundreds of years, killing and wounding generations.

Such a country should be willing to send troops to help them, right?
