"You Boers have so many horses and large livestock, why don't you bring more artillery?" After wandering around the Boer Republic, Kariput suddenly became messy. The Boers' affluence exceeded his expectations, and the large number of horses exceeded previous speculations. Kariput began to think that the Boers did not like heavy equipment, in addition to guerrilla style, another point was the lack of large livestock, but now it seems that it is not the case! One word is laziness!

Did the Boers lack livestock? Maybe they lack regular cavalry to use horses, but there is absolutely no shortage of ordinary livestock such as horses or cattle. After all, most of the more than 200,000 people are high-agricultural, and a considerable number of them have farms, and black helpers are hired in the farms. By the end of 1901, the Boers were at the end of the road, but even so, they could still gather 5,000 cavalry and raid thousands of miles, killing directly near Cape Town!

People who have a little common sense in later generations can count the distance from the Eastern Cape area to Cape Town on Baidu map and know that the distance is definitely not close! 5,000 cavalry! But it does not mean that there are only 5,000 horses! In order to support this cavalry, a lot of logistics is needed. Not to mention, just feed every day, each horse needs 5kg of concentrated feed! The transportation capacity required by this logistics is definitely a large number, and at this time the Boers can still gather such a huge mobile corps. How rich is this family foundation? Think about it yourself!

If limited railway transportation capacity is excluded, the Boer army can still ensure higher mobility than the British even if it is equipped with a large amount of heavy equipment. The British horses need to be transported from other places. As the largest organized farmer in the area, the Boer people are pulled out of their own farms! Can this be the same?

"All old-style medium-caliber artillery and small-caliber artillery should be swept into the garbage dump of history. In order to ensure convenient logistics supply and to give your army sufficient offensive capabilities, your country needs these things!" Kariput said, pointing to a heavy artillery with a short tube and a very solid appearance in the distance.

"The SFH95 type 150mm heavy howitzer that Bavaria grandly withdrew has a length of 15l. The effective range reaches 7200 meters. The bullet weight is 42kg, the initial muzzle velocity is 450 meters per second. The release cannon weighs 2500kg." Listening to Kariput's introduction, Kruger felt that his eyelids were jumping. He had never understood why he wanted to equip a cannon with a 1 ton heavier than the 75mm rapid-fire cannon and a slightly closer range.

"What? You ask me why I recommend this cannon? The reason is very simple! The firepower is strong!" Kariput pointed to a forest not far away. Then he signaled to the German gunner next to him. A German artillery squad immediately aimed and loaded at the calculated distance. With a loud bang, the huge artillery barrel suddenly shrank backwards, and a huge fireball flew towards the target in the distance. After a violent explosion, the shrubs and trees within a diameter of more than 30 meters were smashed into pieces by a powerful grenade!
