The most solid fortress is always breached from within, a simple truth that Governor Delf was naturally aware of; from the beginning, he had no intention of fighting a battle against the Austrians in Africa.

Though the population of the South African region exceeded two and a half million, the majority were black people; in the mid-19th century, the white population in the Cape Town area just surpassed one hundred thousand, including the Boer people.
Under the pressure of Austria's large-scale immigration, the London Government also accelerated its own immigration pace. Regrettably, the British population was limited, and there were too many colonies.
