African Nationhood

(The people in the south are fire, so it goes without saying that Huawei is China.

"Yanhua" has the same pronunciation and meaning as the continuation of China, and the sound of "Yanhua" is close to that of Yanhuang.

If everyone is unwilling, then continue to use the Nanhua method.

Is there any book lover who can draw the flag of the Dominion? If not, then it will be done according to the puppet settings.

The national anthem is chosen between "In the Field of Hope" and "Singing the Motherland")

On July 7, after Shi Jintang met with Ding Zulu, he immediately issued an ultimatum to the British: On July 20, Nanhua Company would put Lieutenant General Kitchener on trial.

The London cabinet received this ultimatum and could no longer sit still. Cabinet members urged Prime Minister Balfour to make a decision as soon as possible.

Once the South China Company directly tried Lieutenant General Kitchener, the face of the British government and cabinet would be ruined.

On July 7, the British War Department issued a statement: The numerous evil deeds committed by Horatio Herbert Kitchener, the former commander of the British Expeditionary Force, in southern Africa were a disgrace to the British military.

The British War Office was disdainful and contemptuous of Horatio Shaw and Kitchener's wrongdoings.

The British War Office decided to remove Horatio Herbert Kitchener from the army and requested a public trial to determine his culpability.

On July 7, the London Cabinet issued a statement: In view of the fact that Horatio Herbert Kitchener's bad practices subverted public perception, ignored the British concept of equality and fraternity, and caused countless harm to the Boers in South Africa.

The cabinet decided to authorize the South China Company to hold public trials on its personnel to demonstrate the British government's rejection and rejection of this bad behavior.

……

With the endorsement of the British War Department and the Cabinet, the South China Company's public trial of Lieutenant General Kitchener became an order.

On July 7, Lieutenant General Kitchener was informed that he had been dismissed from the War Department. This usually resolute and silent soldier could no longer maintain his composure.

He cursed Prime Minister Balfour as a liar and a shameless bastard, and at the same time began to ask the guards to meet General Manager Shi.

On July 7, the suburban stadium in Bloemfontein was packed with people.

Most of the remaining Boer citizens came here, wanting to see with their own eyes the demons who caused their miserable lives to be punished.

When Kitchener was being escorted here, he was trembling with fear when he saw so many Boers who cursed angrily at him.

When he was brought to the stadium, he found that there were tens of thousands of angry people inside and outside the venue.

His face instantly turned gray, and his eyes were empty and lifeless.

……

James Herzog served as the presiding judge, and the jury was composed of representatives selected from the Boers. As for the witnesses, in addition to the leaders of the Boer coalition, they were Kitchener's former subordinates, the generals of the British army.

Among the captured British generals, Major General Haig, General Buller and Major General Hamilton, who was later captured, were under the greatest pressure.

As prisoners of war, they were told that Kitchener had been dismissed from the War Department. If you want to leave here safely, you must confess Kitchener's crimes truthfully.

Therefore, several British generals no longer had any scruples, and they signed their names on the testimony very cooperatively.

Signing a deposition and identifying oneself in court are two different things. These British generals did a lot of psychological preparation for themselves before taking the stage.

Although the unfortunate Kitchener was abandoned by the cabinet and the British War Office, they still had to survive and continue to advance on the road to senior generals.

……

"clang clang"

Judge Herzog, who was wearing a robe, banged his gavel, leaned in front of the microphone in front of him, and announced loudly: "Silence, let's begin the interview with former British Expeditionary Force Horatio Herbert Kitchener. Public trial meeting.”

His voice spread throughout the stadium through the loudspeakers outside the stadium, and the Boers watching from the outside fell silent.

"Bring the prisoner Horatio Herbert Kitchener to court."

The judge's order was issued and Kitchener was supported in court by bailiffs dressed in black. "Now let's ask the prosecutor to state the case."

A Chinese man in black robe stood up and nodded to the judge's bench, then leaned in front of the microphone and read the prosecution statement: Dear judge, Boer friends, I am entrusted by the Legal Department of Nanhua Company to attend this trial as the company's prosecutor. , I will issue a public prosecution opinion against the defendant Horatio Herbert Kitchener, asking the judge and jury to pay attention, fully consider and adopt it.

The defendant was appointed Commander of the British Expeditionary Force on 1901 February 2.

After this man took office, he promulgated the inhumane concentration camp system, which resulted in the death of 27927 Boer civilians in the concentration camp, including 1676 elderly people, 4177 women, and 22074 children.

In addition, 4.2 Boer women suffered varying degrees of humiliation and bullying due to the concentration camp system, and more than 3 children were left with permanent trauma.

In addition, 2.1 people suffered permanent sequelae due to excessive hunger. All these crimes were caused by the defendant's vicious decisions.

Therefore, I ask the judge and jury to sentence the prisoner to death, so that the people who died tragically in the concentration camps, the people who were bullied and left with pain can find relief and rest.

……

The judge banged the gavel again, "The prosecutor has finished his speech and invites the witnesses to come to court to state their testimonies."

The first person to testify was General Delare, who stated in detail what he saw and heard while rescuing his compatriots in the concentration camp.

Next came Louis Botha, De Wet, Lucas Meyer and other Boer coalition leaders.

There were also the numerous concentration camp survivors, whose every utterance set off the roar of the makeshift stadium, an expression of collective Boer sentiment.

Kitchener was indifferent to the Boers' accusations. He seemed to have become a wooden sculpture.

It was not until his colleague and former subordinate General Buller came to power that Kitchener seemed to wake up and stared at General Buller without saying a word.

When General Buller finished his testimony, Major Generals Hamilton and Haig followed.

When the two men told their testimony, they did not dare to look at Kitchener, and after finishing their testimony, they walked away with their heads lowered.

As they left the court, they were cursed and spat at by the Boer crowd inside the venue.

They did not dare to react for fear of causing public outrage, and the bailiffs were also on the verge of a formidable enemy, fearing that these angry Boers would lose control and rush up to beat the British generals who testified on the spot.

Fortunately, this did not happen, and the bailiffs breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end, the witnesses finished testifying and the jury voted on the spot.

The 13-member jury unanimously agreed to sentence Kitchener to death.

Judge Herzog pronounced the verdict in court: "This court officially sentences the defendant Horatio Herbert Kitchener to death, and he will be executed immediately!"

The moment he heard the verdict, the numb middle-aged British man immediately collapsed to the ground, unable to stand upright no matter how much the bailiff supported him.

When Kitchener was taken to the execution ground, his whole body was as soft as a piece of cotton.

When the executioners carried him to the gallows, Kitchener was sweating profusely and his pants were soaked. It was not clear whether he had peed or sweated too much.

When the executioner put the noose on Kitchener's neck, the scene erupted into earth-shattering cheers and cheers.

"Snapped!"

The partition under his feet fell, and Kitchener's entire body was hanging in the air. His body kicked helplessly, and soon his eyes gradually protruded and his expression became more ferocious.

Finally his body stopped moving.

A generation of famous generals, the founder of the "Three Guangs Policy" and the initiator of the concentration camp system, fell silent in this way.

All the Boers in the stadium were moved to tears. They hugged each other and continued to thank Lord Shi Jintang.

Without him, this great benefactor of the Boers, they would never be able to let their dead relatives or friends rest in peace! (End of chapter)
