Chapter 168: The Rhodes Family

In the following time, the attitude of Americans became the toughest in history, but Li Ningyu knew that everything was because of this counterfeit currency incident. Although Li Ningyu's plan successfully obtained 1.5 billion in accumulated funds for the future development of the Far East, , but that is only the first step, the second step is the Rhodes family, that is killing two birds with one stone.

On November 11, 1899, Kimberley, South Africa, is a city in the Cape of South Africa. It is located on the Central Plateau at an altitude of 1,220 meters. It has a population of only 150,000 residents, but it is famous for its rich diamonds.

In 1895, Old Rhodes instructed his crony Jameson to lead the troops of the British South Africa Company to attack the Transvaal in an attempt to overthrow the Boer Republic of South Africa. After the incident was exposed, he was forced to resign as prime minister and has been in power ever since. The company's headquarters are located in Kimberley.

In the silent night, there are countless stars floating in the dark night sky. They are like eyes looking at the land of Africa in the sky. Since the arrival of the Western powers a few centuries ago, countless undead have appeared here. The powers For their own interests, in the flames of war again and again, most people never stood up again.

Tonight, Kimberley, South Africa is destined to have another sleepless night, because a small force has begun an attack. However, since Kimberley is the main city in South Africa, tens of thousands of British troops are stationed here. The Rhodes family had just been captured. Afterwards, he was discovered by the British troops who were secretly on guard, and an encounter ensued between the two troops.

After the encounter occurred, the armies of both sides strived for the initiative in the movement. They were the first to detect the enemy, immediately launch firepower, seize the favorable terrain before the enemy, launch the attack before the enemy, and strive to annihilate the enemy in a sudden attack or ambush. However, the British army had already been deployed. , the battle has already occurred before the jungle army has time to deploy troops, distribute ammunition and make tactical arrangements, but the result is often that the brave win and the wise lose, because both sides have no time to think and deploy.

This is a small team of 1,500 people. After three consecutive days of infiltration, they decided to launch a surprise attack on the residence of the Rhodes family tonight. Although Rhodes no longer holds a position in the British government, after this counterfeit currency incident, the British authorities Some soldiers were still sent to protect him, but these well-trained jungle troops were not just an army for free, because they were a real sharp-edged force.

In close encounters, heavy firepower weapons and equipment have no advantages. They can only rely on rifles, pistols and other weapons to launch attacks. The advantages of the jungle army were revealed in several counterattacks between the enemy and ourselves. Super accurate marksmanship, agile Personal mobility, well-equipped equipment, and the morale to face the battle with a calm face and face several times the British army, etc.

"Captain Zhao, more and more British troops are going to Kimberley City for reinforcements now? What's our next step? Otherwise, you can order me to lead a squadron and fight with the British troops!" said the Jungle Army outside Kimberley City. In the temporary headquarters, a major battalion commander asked the lieutenant colonel next to him anxiously, but the captain seemed not to be prepared to pay attention to him.

"Little Haruko!"

"Here!" Captain Zhao shouted, and the radio operator on the side immediately stood up and responded.

"Immediately send a message to the commander of the first squadron and ask them how long it will take before they can leave Kimberley?"

"Yes!" The telegraph operator named Xiao Chunzi immediately began to send telegrams to inquire after receiving Captain Zhao's order.

Captain Zhao said to the major battalion commander on the side: "Hu Jun, have you forgotten what I said before this battle?".

"No! No! Don't I think it's hard to win a battle, so I mainly ask the captain for his opinion?"

Hearing Captain Zhao's question, the squadron leader named Hu Jun immediately looked embarrassed, and then he heard Captain Zhao say: "Our mission this time is to make a surprise attack on Kimberley and take away the main members of the Rhodes family.

, are not here to fight head-on, so the troops must not be allowed to make unnecessary sacrifices, so you return to the front line immediately, and once you receive the order to retreat, immediately withdraw from the battle! Do you understand?”

"Yes!" After Captain Zhao's righteous words, squadron leader Hu Jun immediately ran and left the temporary command post.

But just after he left, Captain Zhao immediately said to himself: "These boys are so anxious when they see the British army that they wish they could kill them all before they would be happy. It's true!".

The ensuing local battle ended quickly, but the casualties of the British army were surprisingly high, because a large number of landmines had been laid on the several roads they used to increase their troops, and this jungle army only used a few

At the cost of ten people being injured, victory was achieved easily.

Then the news was passed back to the British military headquarters, and the appearance of this mysterious force also shocked the British, because this small force was not unfamiliar to them at all, but they were unwilling to compare them with the Far East.

They were linked together, because that was really terrible, but the development of the matter forced the British to understand and face one thing.

That is, this mysterious jungle army has an inseparable relationship with the Far East, because shortly after the British authorities received the news, the Far East diplomatic spokesman Bimax issued an announcement that the Far East had captured the main members of the Rhodes family.

And is already on the way to Somalia.

The British authorities were not slow in their actions, and immediately sent out maritime ships in an attempt to block the Mozambique Channel and cut off the waters in the Far East that transported the Rhodes family to Somalia. However, none of them expected that at this time, the main members of the Rhodes family were all

Has been escorted to the French island of Madagascar.

In a basement, the main members of the Rhodes family were imprisoned. In the next few days, there were continuous interrogations. At this time, all countries in the world already knew about the Far East's actions in Africa.

Everyone was looking forward to an earth-shattering all-out declaration of war between the Far East and Britain, but this time Britain, which had lost the initiative, chose to avoid the Far East.

Subsequently, the British representative announced various crimes against the Rhodes family, seized all the property of the Rhodes family, and directly confiscated it and made it state-owned.

Seeing such a result, countries all over the world laughed again, because then Li Ningyu would not be able to dig out a dime, but in fact Li Ningyu didn't care at all, and he also knew that once the Rhodes family broke away from the British

To control the situation, the British authorities will inevitably take such action, but as the saying goes, the Rhodes family really has no back-up plan of its own.
