Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

After the outbreak of the European War, the entire Berbera was under martial law. The city's defense was handled by mercenaries of the Umbrella Company, and the security of the port was handled by the Southern African Marine Corps.

The Marine Corps in Southern Africa just changed to new uniforms in July.

The new military uniform is the four-color camouflage that Rock is more familiar with. The Southern African field troops and the Marine Corps have already changed their uniforms. The Marine Corps is still issued marine camouflage mainly in blue and white tones, which has a certain camouflage deformation effect.

Camouflage uniforms are not the first in southern Africa. In 1929, Italy developed four-color camouflage mainly brown, yellow, green and tan, but it was not widely used.

The reason why there is no large-scale application is not that the camouflage uniforms are not good, but that the Italians lack enough dyes and cannot afford to make them.

Yes, the reason is that simple.

The withdrawal of the British lobster soldiers from the stage of history is also closely related to the fact that red dye was too expensive. After the Second Boer War, the British changed the main color of their military uniforms from red to tawny. The reason is simple: tawny is more economical.

Major Smith Wesson is now wearing a tan military uniform.

So when Major Smith Wesson saw the four-color marine camouflage on the Marine Corps soldiers in southern Africa, you can imagine the sadness in his heart.

Southern Africa is indeed rich and wealthy.

Not only clothes, the Marine Corps helmets are also wrapped in four-color camouflage fabric, which can enhance the camouflage effect and block metal reflections.

The Marine Corps' armored vehicles are naturally painted in four-color camouflage, and are covered with a layer of camouflage netting. When necessary, branches and leaves can be inserted to make the camouflage effect stronger.

Or an amphibious armored vehicle?

There is also an amphibious tank in the distance with the same four-color marine camouflage.

Look at the Southern African tanks and armored vehicles.

Looking at his outdated old car, which honked everywhere but the horn, Major Smith & Wesson felt like a beggar.

There are more than a hundred cars of all kinds in Berbera, and this is the only car that Major Smith & Wesson can mobilize.

"I'm sorry, Major Wesson. Colonel Jerry has severe influenza and is in self-isolation. If you must see him, please come back after a while, or call Colonel Jerry directly." The person who came forward to receive Smith Wesson

It's Staff Sergeant Major Hope.

Levels are equal.

"I can wait, but the Italians won't wait. Colonel Jerry fell ill just in time!" Smith Wesson sneered. This reason was too lame.

Southern Africa has very high standards for health and epidemic prevention.

Africa has many strange diseases, and they are usually highly contagious, so southern Africa has very strict disease requirements.

Hope smiled and said nothing.

You're right, I'm just trying to find any reason to frustrate you.

When the time comes, we can expect the Indians and Smith & Wesson's 150 British soldiers to fight against the Italian servants whose total number has exceeded 10,000?

Stop being funny.

If the Italians are weak, then it depends on who they are competing against.

Compared with the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company, the Italians are indeed weak.

Compared with Indians, Italians are like celestial beings.

Even if 150 British soldiers had only three heads and six arms, how many Italians could they kill?

Therefore, the Southern African Fleet is the key point for Smith and Wesson to break the deadlock. As long as it has the support of Sandy Jerry, Smith and Wesson can do a great job.

This is military merit.

Think about Montgomery. He was a major general and division commander before the outbreak of the world war. Now he is a lieutenant general.

The latest news is that Montgomery has been appointed commander of the South East Military District in England.

Montgomery's promotion was relatively normal, but looking at de Gaulle, it was as if he was riding a rocket and had reached the pinnacle of his life.

The fleet encountered difficulties in southern Africa, and Smith & Wesson went to the British colonial government in Somalia.

Sir Elvis, the British Commissioner to Somalia, suddenly contracted the disease after Italy launched an attack on British Somalia and has returned to the UK for treatment.

The current top official in the colonial government of British Somalia is Mickey Marcus.

Mickey Marcus is a native of Berbera, 25 years old, strong and healthy.

"I'm sorry, Major Wesson." Mickey Marcus had a wry smile on his face. Smith Wesson had heard too many apologies in the past few days, but Mickey Marcus was the only one who really meant it.

"Don't say sorry to me. What I want to know is, can we modify the agreement with the Umbrella Company?" Smith & Wesson said angrily. British Somalia spent money from the British Empire.

Spending money but not getting the service you deserve is simply fraud in Smith & Wesson's opinion.

As for modifying the contract, it is not difficult in Smith & Wesson's opinion. The umbrella company is not willing to take risks. In Smith & Wesson's opinion, it is just because the money given is not enough. As long as the money is in place, money can make things worse.

"I'm afraid not." Marcus' movements and expressions were very helpless: "When the war broke out, we contacted the Umbrella Company and hoped that the Umbrella Company could provide protection for the entire British Somalia. The Umbrella Company refused due to lack of capabilities.

Our requirement."

Marcus smiled bitterly.

Smith & Wesson guessed right, the key was that the money given was not enough.

However, there is nothing worth protecting in British Somalia. The British colonial Somalia has been in a state of loss for many years. The colonial government cannot make ends meet and needs local financial subsidies every year.

After all, Somalia is not southern Africa. As long as British Somalia can show some development potential, the British government will not ignore it to this extent.

"I'm really curious, what are you doing? The majestic British Empire actually needs the protection of a commercial company, or a group of notorious war hyenas! You should be ashamed!" Smith & Wesson told Marcus and other colonial officials

Very dissatisfied with my job.

What Smith Wesson said was a bit harsh, and Marcus' face turned red.

"Major Smith Wesson, you have no right to accuse us! The current troubles are not caused by us, but by you!" Marcus can also complain that colonial officials are not good enough, but British soldiers are even worse.

The reason why the Germans and Italians were so rampant was ultimately due to the ineffectiveness of the British army in fighting.

The lack of development in British Somalia has a lot to do with the conditions in British Somalia.

Not only was British Somalia short of resources, it also had a serious shortage of human resources, and its geographical location was not important enough. If the Suez Canal was within British Somalia, colonial officials like Marcus would not be so miserable.

Compared with the colonial government of British Somalia, the British military, especially the Royal Navy, has annual expenditures of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of pounds.

So much investment is made every year, but when the war breaks out, the army is useless, the navy is completely useless, the air force has been completely depleted, and it does not even have the ability to protect British airspace.

So who is derelict in his duties?

Smith and Wesson probably didn't expect that Marcus would show no mercy at all.

The atmosphere in the room was almost frozen. Smith, Wesson and Marcus stared with big eyes and gasped, just like Britain now, with internal and external troubles and many difficulties.
