Are the British strong? Of course they are very strong. In this era, the British said they were second, but no one dared to say first! But the problem is that you are the strongest in the whole world, but if you go to a certain region, it is hard to say that the so-called strong dragons do not defeat local snakes. In North America, the British really can't do anything to the United States! The Americans' strong population and industry are enough to stop any powerful in the Americas.

The British intentionally or unintentionally smashed the overseas interest system that the United States had operated for decades into pieces. The purchase agency incident in Brazil in South America proves with eloquence that America is not an American America, and Britain's status in South America is still strong enough. With the support of the British, the Japanese have cleanly solved the Far East fleet that the United States spent several years to accumulate! Not only did the dream of entering the Far East be shattered, but even the springboard was taken away!

Americans really didn't expect that the Germans had been deliberately doing things that they had not done for more than ten years in Samoa, and the Japanese could do it in a few days... It can be said that Americans almost lost all their overseas influence in just a few weeks! At this point, the United States has no worries anymore, because everything they can be lost! And Americans who have suffered such a big loss naturally cannot swallow their anger!

The so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. The Americans who are now unforgettable will naturally no longer worry about gains and losses. If a strong country is absolutely truly depressed, then revenge will naturally not be a small fuss! Americans are very angry and the consequences are very serious.

Although this is said, it is different to do it, because Britain was too strong at this time. In terms of finance, Britain and France are respected. Although Americans have money, they have little say... It is even more impossible to have a military confrontation in the name of the country. On the one hand, the consequences are unbearable. At the same time, Americans now have unprecedented distrust of their military power. Before the outbreak of the Philippine Navy, Americans would never have thought that they would lose to the group of yellow-skinned dwarfs in the Far East!

The powerful British navy and trade forces are like a big net, connecting the entire colonial system and effectively shocking any challenger! The Americans thought for a long time but couldn't find a place to start. Even at the beginning, the dispute between the British and the Boers did not catch the eyes of the Americans. But later, they really couldn't find the place, so they decided to give it a try in South Africa!

"So how many troops are your country planning to organize? How to solve the equipment problem?" Prince Ruprecht thought for a while and asked. It would be the best if an American is willing to intervene in the Boer War. The hatred between the United States and Britain will be further deepened, which is great for Germany. This must be supported!

"The first batch of about 5,000 people. We plan to use your country's weapons. Of course, as a mercenary, the Boers, as employers, must pay a certain amount of money and equipment. The route of entry is planned to enter from Portuguese Southwest Africa." Roosevelt thought for a while and said.

"This is OK, but mercenaries cannot have weapons when they enter Portugal. Otherwise, Portugal will not allow them. We will hand over the weapons you need directly to the Boer government. Your country's personnel will obtain weapons after they are in place."

The prince’s idea of ​​separating the gun is not just a more convenient perspective to consider when entering Mozambique. The key is that if the Americans also have ideas about Mozambique, if the American mercenaries with guns and some people fail to overthrow the local garrison in Portugal and announce that they will be included in the American colonial system, it will be troublesome. The Germans will not be convenient for the Americans to take action against the Americans!

"So Your Highness, when do you think the Boer War will begin? What will happen after it begins?" Roosevelt asked a very realistic question.

"The Boers will probably launch an attack at the end of 1898. After the war begins, the Boers' troops will have two main attack directions, one is to launch an attack on the eastern coast of South Africa to obtain the seaport and obtain the help of compatriots who are also descendants of the Netherlands. The other attack direction should be the railway line from Cape Town to the inland." The prince thought for a while and said.

"So what do you think of the combat effectiveness of the Boer army?" Roosevelt said after thinking.

"Everyone in the Boer army is an excellent soldier, but compared with the regular army, they lack sufficient discipline and resilience. Although the Boer people began to change this problem several years ago, the specific effect is difficult to say. But what is certain is that the Boer people will never be afraid of British troops of the same size in field battles. The only problem is siege wars. They lack heavy artillery, and their morale will drop very strongly in the face of difficult strongholds." Prince Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

"Then what do you think the Boers' right strategy should be?" Roosevelt asked after a moment of silence.

"Of course, it is to lure the British to launch an attack first, making the troops that were originally very weak in South Africa weaker and reduce the difficulty of attacking. Then quickly concentrate their forces to launch an attack eastward and occupy the coastal port. Of course, under the deterrence of the British navy, they could not obtain supplies from overseas. But at least they could destroy the ports to ensure the safety of the flanks. Then they concentrated their forces to attack in the direction of Cape Town, and launched the blacks to resist the British colonial rule. "Prince Ruprecht told Kruger's plan and concoct.

In the prince's opinion, most of the time, military operations could only have one center of gravity. Although the Boers had an absolute numerical advantage at the beginning, the entire British southern Africa was still too large for the Boers' legion of 80,000 people. The vast field greatly dispersed the Boers' strength, and the generals of the art of war surrounded them ten times. At this time, when the troops occupied, they naturally had to break through the opponent's strong fortification areas, ensure the safety of the flanks, and prepare for the future confrontation with the British army.

After roughly understanding the prince's strategy, Roosevelt also explained the plan of the US military. After a crushing defeat, the Americans distrust their military quality very much. (In fact, at the beginning of World War II, the US Army was also nicknamed the Italians on our side by the British.) So he hoped that German officers could provide guidance and help. In this regard, the prince naturally agreed. Of course, all Germans involved in the "mercenaries" of the United States were retired officers, and even their nationality was temporarily changed. In order to avoid the British's revenge, the prince was still very careful.

Of course, this matter will take some time to prepare. Before that, all the United States and Germany need to do is to stabilize the form of Hawaii. As for American Samoa, the Americans still did not give up. They held the last slightest fantasy and hoped to get it back through diplomatic channels, but unfortunately, the Americans met the Japanese!
