Chapter 1208 The US Army Needs You

As expected, the news of Louis Bota's death caused a great response among the Boers.

The Orange Daily was the first to publish the news of Louis Bota's death, and then rumors spread, claiming that the federal government deliberately murdered Louis Bota in order to completely suppress the Boers.

There is no evidence for this statement. The root cause of the marginalization of the Boers is not the suppression of the federal government, but the overall degeneration of the Boers. Yang Shimozi also went to England for this reason.

Sad to his misfortune and angered his failure to fight.

However, most Boers do not consider deep-seated issues. They are only willing to believe what they are willing to believe. The day after the Orange Daily published the news of Louis Bota's death, a rally commemorating Louis Bota appeared in Freiburg, the fourth largest city in Orange. The rally turned into a parade the next day, requiring the federal government to investigate the cause of Louis Bota's death.

This is funny. Some Boers think that the federal government murdered Louis Bota, and then they ask for the federal government to investigate, perhaps they really think that the federal government will enforce the law impartially.

Of course, this impartial law enforcement should be quoted. If the investigation results are beneficial to them, then it is impartial law enforcement.

If the investigation results cannot satisfy them, then it will definitely be the protection of officials.

As for why it is the "fourth largest".

The largest city in Orange is undoubtedly the capital Bloemfontein, the second largest is the famous diamond city Kimberley, the third largest city is Wilkem, the fourth largest is Freiburg.

Freiburg has about 15,000 people, located in the remote mountainous area northwest of Orange State, with most of the residents being traditionally stubborn Boers.

After more than ten years of establishment of the federal government, the policy to the Boers has gone through several different stages, from the initial assistance to the subsequent support, and then to the current indifference.

In this process, the Boers were gradually marginalized, and the traditional Boers gathering areas gradually moved from Bloemfontein to remote areas, and now most of them are concentrated in Freiburg.

Freiburg is the only region in southern Africa that speaks only Boer.

"The situation in Freiburg is very dangerous. Mayor Adra resigned two hours ago and the municipal government is paralyzed. The current highest official in Freiburg is City Council Speaker Price. Price is a Boer. The first opportunity to commemorate Minister Bota was initiated by Price." Rock reported to Ade immediately.

Ade's body is also terrible.

When Rock met Ade twenty years ago, Ade was in his prime and was an outstanding colonial official.

Now Ade has reached the twilight years, especially after the news of Louis Bota's death, Ade has grown much older overnight.

The death of Louis Bota is a sign that their generation is about to end.

"How many people do we have in Freiburg?" Adler's face and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

"Freiburg has no garrison, only sixty people in the police station, and most of them are Boers. In this case, all Boers are not trustworthy." Rock is not optimistic, and Freiburg's situation is indeed very serious.

"Is it so bad already-" Ade finally had an expression on his face, and he was sad.

"It has been almost 17 years since the signing of the Peace Agreement in 2002. In order to appease the Boers, we have paid tens of millions of pounds, giving them money, giving them farms, giving them production and living materials, building schools, hospitals, railways, and water conservancy for them - why is this happening now?" Ade really couldn't figure out why the Boers were not satisfied. Even in the Orange Free State era, the Orange government had not done so much.

Rock didn't speak. The traditional Boers' resistance to the federal government had nothing to do with how much benefit they got from the federal government. War was the original sin.

What the Boers want is not only a happy life, but also unrestrained freedom. Which of these two is not satisfied yet, is more important.

Fish is what I want; bear's paw is what I want.

Both cannot be obtained—

Is there any kind of kings, princes, generals and ministers?

"Where is the closest troops to Freiburg?" Ade is the prime minister. He not only has to ask why, but also comes up with a solution, otherwise he will become a troll.

"Clarksdorp has a regiment of the First Armored Division, and the Nanshan Fort in Beginner State has two battalions of the First Cavalry Division." Rock was prepared for it. Clarksdorp is in Transvaal, about 180 kilometers away from Freiburg.

South Mountain Fort is closer to Freiburg, less than 120 kilometers.

Ad seemed to have glared at Rock inadvertently, and he was very impressed by Rock's thoughts.

The Ministry of Defense did not station troops in Freiburg, but Rock arranged many troops around Freiburg. In Orange, the city closest to Freiburg is Kimberly. The Ministry of Defense also stationed troops in Kimberly. However, Rock just said that all the Boers are not trustworthy now, so Rock did not mention it.

"Be careful when directly mobilizing the troops--" Rock couldn't help but remind.

On weekdays, Rock would have dispatched troops to Freiburg without hesitation.

It's different now. Ade is about to step down. If he gets bigger at this time, maybe Ade's reputation will be ruined in his lifetime.

Rock didn't want Ade's political career to be tainted by this stain.

"It doesn't matter, I'm going to step down soon. If possible, I hope the Boer problem can be solved during my term and not leave this problem to you." Ade really had no choice but to say anything to Rock. He would rather take the blame than leave those so-called historical problems for Rock.

The situation is getting clearer and clearer now. After Ade leaves office, Philip will definitely become the next prime minister.

After taking office, in order to win over the approval rating, Philip probably wouldn't attack the Boers, and most of them would tempt him to put peace and stability first.

In this way, the Boer problem will continue.

After Philip's term ends, as long as Rock is still alive at that time, it is almost certain that Rock will be on the rise, and this trouble will still be Rock's.

That's why Ade ignored his own feathers.

"I created the Boer problem, so I will end it, and all the consequences will be borne by me." Ade's thin body was extremely tall at this moment, and Rock was in a state of great excitement, not knowing what to say.

"Go and arrest all the troublemakers, and that's the Orange Daily. This newspaper needs time to rectify it. As for Price-you know what to do." Ade doesn't leave any troubles. Once the army enters the field, the situation will definitely be out of control.

"Or wait first-" Rock is not in a hurry. Violence is not the only way to solve problems. If you look at it from a different perspective, there are actually many ways to solve problems.

Ade looked at Rock in confusion, not knowing what Rock was selling in the gourd.

"I am going to block the surrounding areas of Freiburg, let the Boers in Freiburg make a fuss, wait for them to be exhausted, and then the army will enter the field again - or the army will not enter, so that they will die." Rock was insulted and would not die if he did not commit suicide.

Now it's Ade's turn to stop talking.

Rock's method is indeed a bit insulting, but it will not cause the reputation of Ade and the federal government to be damaged. Didn't the Boers want freedom? Then give them freedom to see how much they can toss.

If Ade was the Virgin, he would be worried that the peace-loving people in Freiburg would be affected.

But there is no end to the nest when it is destroyed. It is hard to say how many people are innocent in Freiburg's situation.

If you really like peace, you can ask the federal government to send troops into Freiburg's stable order. The federal government will definitely obey public opinion.

Since Ade didn't speak, Roque assumed that Ade agreed.

Back at the Ministry of Defense, Rock immediately ordered the troops stationed at Clarksdorp and South Hill Fort to move towards Freiburg.

At the same time, Transvaal and Beginner State were ordered to conduct third-level mobilization, and if necessary, increase troops to Freiburg at any time.

The former commander of the 103rd Division and currently commander of the Transvaal Military Region, Richard Brown.

Richard Brown and Ford Lu, then commander of the 105th Division, were charged by military courts during the World War for refusing to execute the orders of then commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force.

Although the military court did not confirm Richard Brown and Ford Lu's guilt, Richard Brown and Ford Lu were removed from office under the pretext of physical reasons.

After the verdict, Ford Lu went to Neizhi to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Neizhi Legion, and is still serving in Neizhi.

Richard Brown returned to southern Africa to serve as director of the Logistics Department of the Ministry of Defense, and after the end of the World War, he served as commander-in-chief of the Transvaal Military Region.

Transvaal is located in the center of southern Africa. The capital Pretoria is also the administrative capital of southern Africa. It is evident that it has a high position and power.

Before leaving, Rock gave Richard Brown a face-to-face instruction.

"The surrounding areas of Freiburg are completely blocked, no one is allowed to enter or exit, nor any materials are allowed to enter Freiburg. I have sent someone to blow up Freiburg's radio station and cut off the power supply to Freiburg. Without my orders, no one is allowed to enter Freiburg City and let them fend for themselves." Rock was cruel and ruthless. Anyway, there was no self-media at this time. No matter what happened to Freiburg, it was difficult for the outside world to know.

"What if it's attacked?" Richard Brown wasn't sure of Rock's bottom line.

"Will you not fight back when attacked? What are the armored vehicles and tanks for you? Your guns are not fire sticks." Rock looked at Richard Brown like a fool. It is not the style of the Southern African army.

"I understand, we don't care even if they kill people in front of us." Richard Brown is still very smart. In fact, it is normal to drive the tank into Freiburg.

In 1932, veterans of the First World War in the United States gathered in Washington for their pensions. The US government sent MacArthur to communicate with veterans, so MacArthur mobilized the tanks.

Join us, the US Army needs you.

:The *** in the previous chapter did not type a typo, it was indeed posted, and there was a comma between it and "典", which turned out to be an asterisk.

The last two sentences of this chapter are the conscription slogans before World War I in the United States.
