The sudden plague makes the situation more complex. If limits in the South African area is good, if proliferated the entire African continent, Franz must cry. 突如其来的瘟疫让局势变得更加复杂。如果只是局限在南非地区还好,要是扩散到了整个非洲大陆,弗朗茨就要哭了。 Without the means that the colony is a colony, although Austria benefitted in the African continent has operated for more than ten years, still cannot change the medical condition backward present situation. 没有办法,殖民地就是殖民地,尽管奥地利在非洲大陆已经经营了十几年,依然不能改变医疗条件落后的现状。 Do not look the population of now infecting are not many, but cannot support the mortality rate to be high. Many patients have not known that what's the matter, saw God. 不要看现在感染的人数不多,可是架不住死亡率高。很多患者还不知道怎么回事,就去见了上帝。 Franz is also too close to the problem, if carefully reads the material, he understands that the mortality rate was why high. 弗朗茨也是当局者迷,如果仔细看资料,他就明白为什么死亡率高了。 At present what infects are most is the cannon fodder army, because does not pay great attention to the health, has not conducted the effective treatment, the mortality rate nature was high. 目前感染最多的是炮灰部队,因为不注重卫生,又没有进行有效治疗,死亡率自然高了。 Besides ordering to improve the quarantine work, other matter Franz anything did not do. 除了下令加强防疫工作外,别的事情弗朗茨什么也干不了。 Since „Boolean Republic army” had the epidemic situation, then the peripheral indigenous tribe do not want to escape, the military deserter quantity in cannon fodder army has stayed at a high level, carrying the virus left is normal. 既然“布尔共和国军队”中出现了疫情,那么周边的土著部落也不要想逃过一劫,炮灰部队中的逃兵数量一直都居高不下,携带病毒离开再正常不过了。 poor|Fei Viscount Corney in hand altogether that Unit sansiwan, but must guarantee that the battle efficiency of army, cannot leave behind the opportunity to the English, can be used to safeguard the soldiers of cannon fodder army to be most also several thousand. 菲克尼子爵手中一共就那么三四万部队,还要保证部队的战斗力,不能给英国人留下机会,能够用来看管炮灰部队的士兵最多也就几千。 Is safeguarding more than ten 200,000 people with several thousand people, runs away 180 people common, in addition the reason of fight, the casualties are many every day, let regulate are more difficult. 用几千人看管着十几二十万人,跑掉百八十号人都不起眼,加上战斗的缘故,每天伤亡人数都不少,让监管更加困难。 Only if running in groups, usually will be missing, the military officers will not care. 除非是成群结队的跑,通常失踪了个把人,军官们都不会在意。 Outside also has the patrol leader, met calculated them to have bad luck, hid the past that is God blesses, although they not necessarily believed in God. 外面还有巡逻队,遇到了算他们倒霉,躲过去的那是上帝保佑,尽管他们未必信上帝。 Judgment of Franz not wrong, the South African area had truly erupted the epidemic situation, the consequence is also above serious of imagination. 弗朗茨的判断没有错,南非地区确实已经爆发了疫情,后果还超乎想象的严重。 However mortality rate highest is not the local area indigenous, is not these colonizers, instead is India in city colonizes the sergeant soldier. 不过死亡率最高的不是当地土著,也不是这些殖民者,反而是城内的印度殖民军士兵。 The bad sanitary condition, multiplied to create the good conditions for the virus. The domain is narrow and small, the personnel denseness is high, in addition the medical resource is insufficient, so many extreme conditions hit in one, accelerated the epidemic spreading. 恶劣的卫生条件,为病毒滋生创造了良好条件。地盘狭小、人员密集度高,加上医疗资源不足,这么多恶劣条件撞在了一起,加速了病毒传播。 Chief criminal who causes the Indian soldier mortality rate truly, creates unaccustomed to the climate. Naturally also has the direct relation with the diet, the bureaucrats in London government had not considered that the Indian habits and customs, the direct hard stopper gave them the potato and bread. 真正导致印度士兵死亡率的罪魁祸首,还是水土不服造成的。当然和饮食也有直接关系,伦敦政府中的官僚没有考虑到印度人生活习惯,直接硬塞给了他们土豆、面包。 This does not have the matter of means that the masters of London government do not attach great importance to the people on one's own side, let alone is these cannon fodders? 这是没有办法的事情,伦敦政府的官老爷们连自己人都不重视,何况是这些炮灰呢？ Compared with Near East in time of war, English's logistics system many changes, still have not handled matters according to the stipulation. 比起近东战争时期,英国人的后勤体系没有多少变化,依然是按规定办事。 What relatively quite is a little some Cape Town area also fresh fish meat supplemented at least, eats the dried beef to be much stronger than daily. 相对好一点儿的是开普敦地区起码还有新鲜鱼肉补充,比天天吃牛肉干强得多。 Naturally, most Indians do not eat the beef, but the English gives their logistics replenishment standard, is insufficient in the supply the beef. 当然,大部分印度人都是不吃牛肉的,不过英国人给他们的后勤供应标准,也不足以供应上牛肉。 Again the dried beef of trash, that is also much more expensive than the potato. This worry Indian could not meet, the bureaucrats in London are always the small advantage come to them, how otherwise to make money? 再垃圾的牛肉干,那也比土豆贵得多。这个烦恼印度人是遇不到了,伦敦的官僚对他们从来都是怎么便宜怎么来,要不然怎么捞钱？ The unceasing deterioration of epidemic situation, the day of Governor Delve does not feel better, because interest demand of both sides differs too in a big way, the negotiations had reached in the impass. 疫情的不断恶化,德尔福总督的日子不好过了,因为双方的利益诉求相差太大,谈判已经陷入了僵局中。 The plague spreads in the city, looks the casualty of every day unceasingly increasing, Governor Delve the whole person is not good. 瘟疫又在城内蔓延,看着每天不断增加的死亡人数,德尔福总督整个人都不好了。 From zero continuously to the present, has accumulated 3817 people because of the casualty that the plague causes, this number still at a daily rate of 500 person gradually for in increasing. Gets down not to need the enemy to attack again, they must be tossed about by the plague were finished. 从零开始一直到现在,因瘟疫导致的死亡人数已经累计到了3817人,这个数字还在以每天500人的速度逐渐替增中。再这么下去不用敌人进攻,他们就要被瘟疫折腾完蛋了。 Contains the epidemic situation biggest problem is the water shortage, it is a pity that since the news of Cape Town eruption plague travels, the tender that every day comes does not increase instead falls. 遏制疫情最大的问题是缺水,遗憾的是自从开普敦爆发瘟疫的消息传开后,每天过来的补给船不增反降。 The people are fear death, no one is willing to collect toward the plague pile , if there is means that Governor Delve wants to travel. 人都是怕死的,没有人愿意往瘟疫堆里凑,如果不是没有办法,德尔福总督自己都想跑路。 Even increased 50% transport expense, is willing adventure the person who transports the commodity to come is still not many, this lets the situation aggravation of Cape Town. 即便是增加了百分之五十的运费,肯冒险运输物资过来的人依然不多,这让开普敦的局势更加恶化。 Currently the army of Cape Town area has 150,000 people fully, half are Indian colonizing regiment, depends on these cannon fodder armies, both sides made a deadlock. 现在开普敦地区的军队足有十五万人,其中一半都是印度殖民军团,就是靠着这些炮灰部队,双方才打出了一个僵局。 Do not look at the rear fort blockhouse is the jerry-built project, the building in city is real, Indian colonizing regiment to getting up African Expeditionary force both sides also calculates rival in chess. 不要看后方的要塞碉堡都是豆腐渣工程,城内的建筑物还是货真价实,印度殖民军团对上非洲派遣军双方也算棋逢对手。 Looks that outside the city was hanging the flag of Red Cross, Governor Delve went bad disgustingly, once wanted to order the army to hit. 看着城外悬挂红十字会的旗帜,德尔福总督被恶心坏了,一度想要下令部队打出去。 Won, is the form is naturally excellent. Broke sieging of enemy, broke out of the water source crisis, reduced the population density, the quarantine work was also good to be done. 打赢了,自然是形式大好。打破了敌人的围困,摆脱了水源危机,减轻了人口密度,防疫工作也就好做了。 Lost, is not considered as that too bad. Consumed the population through the war, reduced the population density, reduced to the demand of fresh water resource. To the quarantine work, has very positive function. 打输了,也不算是太糟糕。通过战争消耗了人口,降低了人口密度,减少了对淡水资源的需求。对防疫工作,有十分积极的作用。 To turn over to think, if really does, Governor Delve does not dare. Now both sides are still negotiating, provokes the war rashly, won fortunately, lost the court martial to need on. 想归想,真要是去做,德尔福总督还是不敢的。现在双方还在谈判,冒然挑起战争,打赢了还好,打输了军事法庭就必须要上了。 Can win? This issue Governor Delve in the heart has the answer, with the present morale, goes out of town to seek for the Austria altruistic decisive battle, has the probability of mutiny to be bigger than the chance of winning. 能够打赢么？这个问题德尔福总督心中早就有了答案,以现在的军心士气,出城寻找奥地利人决战,发生哗变的几率都比获胜的几率更大。 In fact, erupts from the war now, Governor Delve has suppressed to mutiny five times, really does not dare again the exciting soldiers frail nerve. 实际上,从战争爆发到现在,德尔福总督已经镇压过五次哗变了,实在是不敢再刺激士兵们脆弱的神经。 Without the means that the motley crew is this. The Caucasian soldier in city, majority recruits from the colony temporarily, or is the London government the reinforcements that reassigns from various colonies, the regular army is only a few. 没有办法,乌合之众就是这样。城内的白人士兵,大部分都是从殖民地临时征招的,要不就是伦敦政府从各殖民地抽调的援兵,正规军只是少数。 It looks like in London government many people, suppressing the army is more important than this war. The British arrange/cloth war of original space and time, hits that rottenly, in fact is also the London government suppresses the result of army. 在伦敦政府很多人看来,压制陆军比这次战争更加重要。原时空的英布战争,打得那么烂,实际上也是伦敦政府压制陆军的结果。 If a regular army, and time of strength superiority, Governor Delve is also insufficient to hit such vexed, from beginning to end was being pressed punching. 如果是正规军,并且有一倍的兵力优势,德尔福总督也不至于打得这么窝囊,从头到尾都是被人压着揍。 From the military, can in the situation of unceasing failure, preserve overwhelming majority military, the commander ability also passes an examination. Naturally the long-distance race general does not calculate, but will travel is not good. 从军事上来说,能够在不断失败的情况下,保住绝大部分兵力,指挥官能力也是及格的。当然长跑将军不算,只是会跑路还不行。 Although is north passive, this sudden plague, promoted British negotiation process. The situation of constantly deteriorating, is also renovating the bottom line of English unceasingly. 尽管是北被动的,这次突如其来的瘟疫,还是推动了英布谈判进程。不断恶化的局势,也在不断刷新英国人的底线。 What this time coordinates to negotiate is the Cape Town colonizing government, the understanding the situation is clear, does not dare to tow. 这次牵头谈判的是开普敦殖民政府,对局势的了解是一清二楚,根本就不敢拖下去。 The plague reason causes the transport ship to reduce, the commodity that Cape Town stockpiles not only has not grown, instead in continually drop. Especially the fresh water resource, is scarce. 瘟疫的缘故导致运输船减少,开普敦储备的物资不但没有增长,反而在持续下降中。尤其是淡水资源,更是稀缺。 Without the means that must preserve a lot of fresh water is not easy, can only put in the reservoir or is in a water storage. The present is in time of war, the reservoir do not think. 没有办法,要保存大量的淡水不容易,只能放入水库或者是储水池中。现在是战争时期,水库就不要想了。 The artillery outside city is not a vegetarian, often also the shell explodes in the reservoir, even if not care about the gunpowder and heavy metal poisoning, the reservoir cannot store the water! 城外的火炮可不是吃素的,不时也炮弹在水库中爆炸,就算是不在乎火药、重金属中毒,水库也储不住水啊！ Cannot, the English only be able to construct large number of water storages, this is not easy to complete, must solve the potable water problems of so many people, is not a small project. 不得以,英国人只能修建大量的储水池,这不是那么容易完成的,要解决这么多人的饮水问题,可不是一项小工程。 This does not dig a pit casually, can solve the problem. If not solve the leakage problem, it is estimated that cannot wait for the winter, the water was exposed. 这不是随便挖个坑,就能够解决问题的。要是不解决渗漏问题,估计等不到冬季,水就漏光了。 To save water, the British armed forces of Cape Town have started to supply with limited quantity, Caucasian soldier every day 5 rises water, Indian soldier each person every day 3 rises water. 为了节约用水,开普敦的英军早就开始限量供应,白人士兵每天五升水,印度士兵每人每天三升水。 Is the tap water, this was almost enough, remaining was probably possibly used to wipe the face, the British soldiers saved to use, it is estimated that can clean the body. 仅仅是饮用水,这差不多是够了,剩下的大概可能用来擦一把脸,英军士兵节省点儿用,估计能够擦拭一下身体。 This is only theoretically, the domestic water not only drinks. The people are impossible not to do laundry, not wash the hands and do not take a bath, naturally this age Indian truly does not take a bath. 这只是理论上,生活用水不仅仅只是饮用。人不可能一直都不洗衣服、不洗手、不洗澡,当然这个年代印度人确实不怎么洗澡。 This supply, can guarantee the survival merely, other do not count on. Only if the English opens hangs to play sea to desalinate, otherwise could not meet the need. 这个供应量,仅仅能够保证生存,别的就不要指望了。除非英国人开挂玩儿海上淡化,不然根本就满足不了需求。 Cape Town internal situation does not have the means to investigate, but enters the harbor ships quantity every day, is unable to keep secret. 开普敦内部情况没有办法侦查,但是每天进入港口的船舶数量,还是无法保密的。 Every day passes in and out the Cape Town ships number to reduce, this is the mathematics problems is very good to calculate, who knows that this is the commodity of transportation is reducing. 每天进出开普敦船舶数量减少,这是数学题很好计算,谁都知道这是运输的物资在减少。 Enough commodity, Cape Town will not have fallen to the enemy sooner or later, this lets in the negotiations „the Boolean Republic represents” is sportier. 没有足够的物资,开普敦早晚都会沦陷,这让谈判中的“布尔共和国代表”更加底气十足。 Naturally this was only theoretically, in fact plague one day did not finish, outside city „the Boolean Republic army” one day do not dare to attack a city. 当然这只是理论上,实际上瘟疫一天不结束,城外的“布尔共和国军”就一天不敢攻城。 The Cape of Good Hope is no doubt important, important also such that but benefits to Austria, but also makes Franz spare nothing to take here insufficient. 好望角固然重要,但对奥地利的重要性也就那样,还不足让弗朗茨不惜一切代价拿下这里。 The commodity lacks also has the means solution, so long as reduced the number of troops to be OK, in any case the plague was the best barrier. 物资缺乏也不是没有办法解决,只要削减驻军人数就可以了,反正瘟疫就是最好的屏障。 If braves the plague to attack a city, waited to seize the Cape of Good Hope, this Boolean Republic army also almost hit waste. This „waste” not only refers to the casualties, what are more is the morale. 要是冒着瘟疫攻城,等占领了好望角,这支布尔共和国军队也差不多打废了。这个“废”不仅仅是指伤亡,更多的还是军心士气。 When the soldier war-weariness, is not willing to work oneself to death for the country, the battle efficiency powerful army can also turn into the soft foot shrimp instantaneously. 当士兵厌战,不愿意为国家卖命了,战斗力再强悍的军队也会瞬间变成软脚虾。 Looks that in the winter day-by-day approaches, the English could not support, has to make the major concession. 看着冬天一天天临近,英国人还是撑不住了,不得不做出重大让步。 On June 18 , 1871, outside the British arrange/cloth two countries' signed the truce treaty in Cape Town city military compound, announced this wars that continued for more than one year ended. 1871年6月18日,英布两国在开普敦城外的军营内签订了停战条约,宣告了这场持续一年多时间的大战结束。 Treaty content: 条约内容: 1st, Britain with the Transvaal province Republic and war of Austria orchid Zhi free state is completely an accident/surprise, for the world peace, both sides ended the war starting from the day of treaty signing ; ( June 18 , 1817 ) 一、英国同德兰士瓦共和国、奥兰治自由邦的战争完全是一场意外,为了世界和平,双方自条约签订之日起结束战争;(1817年6月18日) 2nd, the UK pays 3.6 million pounds buying off gold/metal, a buy-back Cape Town surrounding area 200 miles land ; 二、英方支付360万英镑的赎买金,回购开普敦方圆200英里的土地; 3rd, both sides exchange the prisoner of war mutually, the population surpass the part to defer to the international convention payment ransom money. The stipulated price is: Soldier 180 pounds per person, military officer according to rank and title height, from 300 pounds ~ 20000 pounds. 三、双方互相交换战俘,人数超过部分按照国际惯例支付赎金。约定价格为:士兵每人180英镑,军官根据级别、爵位高低,从300英镑英镑不等。 Without investigating war responsibility, without raising war result, seems an insignificant small conflict, is not worth mentioning. 没有追究战争责任,没有提战争胜负,仿佛就是一次微不足道的小冲突,不值得一提。 The reality is such brutal, Britain is also attaches great importance to face-saving, making them admit the disaster, is not so easy. Even if the Cape Town colonizing government is willing to accept, the masters in London do not comply. 现实就是这么残酷,不列颠也是要面子的,让他们承认战争失败,可没有这么容易。就算是开普敦殖民政府肯接受,伦敦的官老爷们也不答应。 Ceding territory and paying indemnities that is not possible, the London government cannot bear the political influence of disaster, is the land buys off the gold/metal and prisoner of war ransom money on the contrary, can make one accept. 割地赔款那是万万不可能的,伦敦政府承受不了战争失败的政治影响,反倒是土地赎买金和战俘赎金,更加能够令人接受。 Land that discards in any case, mostly is South African Colonizing Company, is not a British government. 反正丢掉的土地,大都是南非殖民公司的,又不是英国政府的。 Face thick-skinned a little, when the colonizing company colonizes the activity failure, the London government bought back a stretch of colony to be good from Boolean person hand again. 脸皮厚一点儿,就当殖民公司殖民活动失败,伦敦政府再从布尔人手中买回一片殖民地好了。 The prisoner of war ransom money is simpler, the European Society does not repel this. If this captured population is a much less, the ransom money amount of payment is quite big, an exchange captive concealed. 战俘赎金更简单,欧洲社会不排斥这个。如果这次被俘人数有点儿多,支付的赎金数额比较大,一句交换俘虏都盖过去了。 If not really concerned about face, but can also announce that this is a great victory. Crushed the enemy to scheme the conspiracy of Cape of Good Hope strategically, forcing the enemy to give up this impractical fantasy. 如果真不要脸的话,还可以宣布这是一次伟大的胜利。在战略上粉碎了敌人图谋好望角的阴谋,逼迫敌人放弃这个不切实际的幻想。 The politics is always so, including this British arrange/cloth war, can fling the pot to give South Africa Colonizing Company. This unlucky egg company, has gone bankrupt in the war in any case, no one will come out to plead innocence. 政治从来都是如此,包括这次英布战争,都可以甩锅给南非殖民公司。反正这家倒霉蛋公司,在战争中就已经破产,没有人会出来辩白。 In fact, Governor Delve has started to do. As a qualified politician, loses a battle even, signed the disadvantageous treaty, must minimize the war responsibility. 事实上,德尔福总督已经开始做了。作为一名合格的政客,就算是打了败仗,签订了不利条约,还是要把战争责任降到最低。 No matter how said, the Cape Town colony preserved. Although shrinks the version, but the British People do not know, actually large surface areas no one will care about ten thousand li (0.5 km) away some Cape Town colony. 不管怎么说,开普敦殖民地还是保住了。尽管是缩水版的,可是英国民众不会知道,没有人会关心万里之外的开普敦殖民地究竟有多大面积。
