Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The airdrop of the British troops to Tobruk was carried out by the Army Aviation Force. After all, the transport planes could not board the ship, and the aircraft carrier of the Cyprus Squadron could not keep its eyes on Tobruk.

The closest Allied airport to Tobruk in North Africa is El Alamein, 500 kilometers away. Transport aircraft dispatched have to make a circle over the sea, bypassing the defensive positions of Rommel's North African Army before they can reach Tobruk.

The Allied Airport in El Alamein is jointly used by the Southern African Air Force and the British Air Force. The defense, ground handling, and transportation of the airport are all handled by the British army. As a result, the British sent Indians, which made Su Jianping helpless.

I really didn’t mean to be an Indian.

There are really so many bad things about Indians that I couldn't finish talking about them for three days and three nights. I just got used to them after vomiting them.

Indians are not bad, they are just plain lazy most of the time. In addition, they probably have complaints against the British for going back on their word, so their efficiency is hard to describe.

A box of ammunition weighs 30 kilograms. If there are no special requirements, the Indian soldiers must carry it together with two people, and the speed is appallingly slow.

Southern Africa has very high standards for hygiene, and there are many toilets at the airport.

But as long as no one is around, Indian soldiers will definitely deal with them anywhere, and they are all the same size. This situation often occurs in the corner of the warehouse where Indian soldiers are responsible for guarding.

Pay attention often.

Even though the British gave repeated orders, the Indians still refused to change.

The British are also really cruel to Indians. "Hang them up and beat them" is an exaggeration most of the time. For Indian soldiers, it is a common occurrence.

The key point is that most Indians are happy to accept punishment, because then they can use the injury as an excuse to rest openly.

As for self-esteem?

It doesn't exist in Indians.

It’s not right to say that. It’s not that Indians don’t have self-esteem, but their understanding of self-esteem is different from ordinary people.

For example, being whipped would be considered a huge insult to a Southern African soldier, even a Southern African Union soldier.

For Indian soldiers, they seemed to regard being whipped as an honor for daring to resist the British, so Indian soldiers often laughed while being whipped, and the Indian soldiers around them were also happy, and everyone seemed happy.

The "Flying Fortress" in southern Africa supplies the British army in Tobruk. Because it does not need to carry too much fuel, the maximum load can reach 12 tons.

In southern Africa, it only takes half an hour to load a "Flying Fortress" per shift using a tractor.

In El Alamein, even using a tractor, it would take a full four hours to dispatch a company of Indian soldiers.

This kind of efficiency was really intolerable to Su Jianping.

As early as April, not long after the Greek campaign began, Su Jianping suggested to Major General Charlie Jenkins, who was in charge of El Alamein Airport, that the Southern African army be responsible for the ground handling work at El Alamein Airport. Su Jianping would rather the Southern African army work harder than see lax work.

Lazy Indian.

Major General Charlie refused directly.

The North African campaign has been delayed until now mainly because the British government refused the participation of southern African ground troops.

If Southern African ground forces were put in charge of Alamein airport, it would undermine the agreement between the British government and the Southern African federal government.

Su Jianping had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, hoping to split Alamein Airport into two parts, with the Southern African Air Force and the British Air Force each responsible for one part.

This request was also rejected by Charlie Jenkins. This is no different from the first suggestion, changing the soup without changing the medicine.

Su Jianping is not without temper either.

Since the British were unable to advance, Su Jianping directly threatened that if the situation did not improve, the Southern African Air Force would stop carrying out the supply mission to Tobruk.

This hit directly hit the key point of the Egyptian British army.

Although the Eighth Army now has 700 aircraft.

However, most of them are fighter jets and lack strategic transportation force, so all supplies to Tobruk depend on the Southern African Air Force.

Now that the Southern African Air Force had to give up its job, and the British themselves were incompetent, Charlie Jenkins finally gave in and agreed that the Southern African Air Force would be responsible for part of the airport.

Of course, the southern African army cannot enter El Alamein, but civilians can.

This is actually a cover-up.

Is the Southern African Air Force not the Southern African Army?

Su Jianping did not want to argue with the British. How to fight for the interests of southern Africa was Roque's business. Su Jianping was only responsible for completing his own tasks.

Then Su Jianping found out helplessly that although he had won part of the management rights of Alamein Airport, he could only rely on the Indians.

There was no way. After the outbreak of the European War, there was a shortage of local human resources in Southern Africa. Even women began to work in factories, and there was no excess human resources to provide to the front line.

That's okay too.

Whether Indians are capable or not depends on management.

Under the management of the French, the Africans, who performed little better than the Indians, could at least get a passing grade under the management of the southern Africans, and the Indians were no exception.

Unlike the British who tried various methods and finally found that whips were the most effective, southern Africans did not use whips for punishment, but it made Indians feel even more uncomfortable.

What do Indian soldiers care about most?

It's not a blow to their self-esteem. They have no self-esteem at all. What Indian soldiers care about most is the standard of food.

Now India is experiencing a famine comparable to that during the Great Depression. It is said that millions of people starved to death last year. The specific data cannot be calculated because the British do not even know the total population of India. All official statistics are estimates.

.

But famine cannot be faked.

Just like the last world war, in order to win over India's loyalty, Britain once again promised to give Indians greater freedom after the war was over.

Indians also care about eating but not fighting.

During the last world war, Britain made such a promise, but after the war ended, the Indians were severely treated.

The Indians did not learn a lesson from this. This time when the European War broke out, they still needed people, money, and food.

India has considerable arable land.

The arable land in the United States is only 188 million hectares, while that in India reaches 185 million hectares.

But neither of these is as good as southern Africa.

After the annexation of West Africa, the arable land in southern Africa reached an astonishing 250 million hectares. Now only less than a quarter has been developed, and there is still huge potential to be tapped.

The key is that India's agricultural efficiency is too low. There are only three crops a year in India, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people in India.

So much land, with three crops a year, could almost meet the world's food needs if replaced by Chinese species.

However, famines occur in India every year, and people starve to death even in good harvest years. This is hard to understand.

After the outbreak of the European War, Britain's demand for food increased significantly. The Indians tightened their belts and sent food to Britain. Last year, they sent more than 20 million tons of food.

Don’t be too little, this is the limit that India can provide. Many Indians even give the next year’s grain to the British. Otherwise, the British would attach so much importance to India.

As a result of sending all grain crops to the UK, India's population barely increased last year.

This is incredible. Indians are very fertile. Under normal circumstances, the population increases by 5% a year, and 6% is just a drizzle. As a result, the population did not increase at all last year. The facts behind it are shocking.

Probably in order to reduce the pressure of the disaster, the British and Indian governments organized 2 million Indian youths to join the army shortly after the outbreak of the European War.

The British and Indian government's recruitment slogan is very simple, "Join the army and you will have enough to eat", which has attracted countless Indian young people.

The British and Indian governments are still very restrained.

As many as they want, India alone can easily provide Britain with 5 million troops.

After Mustache conquered the entire Europe, together with his army of servants, he only managed to gather 5 million people.

The logistical standards of Southern African armies have always been high.

The Air Force's logistics standards among all arms are comparable only to those of the Navy's submarine force.

Let me just say that in North Africa, ice cream is only included in the logistics supply list of the Southern African Air Force, and there is still as much as you need.

For disobedient Indians, southern Africans punished them by lowering supply standards or not eating them at all.

Aren’t you on a hunger strike because I want you to have enough?

Not to mention open defecation, move slowly when moving things, and there won’t even be a trace of meaty smell when eating at night.

Others don't talk about big fish and meat, but there is still salted fish. Alamein is a port, and there are as many fish as you want. The Mediterranean Fleet sent a force specifically to fish.

People at this time were not very particular, at least there were no vegetarians in Alamein.

The cooking method of the fish is not very clever, and even the processing is not very fine. The fish scales are not scraped. It is simply prepared and thrown into the pot to start stewing. You don’t need to add much salt, and the taste is extremely delicious.

Watching other soldiers eat and drink

Meat is still available, canned, and abundant in southern Africa.

While others have a lot of food and fish, I only have two pitiful potatoes. Only I know how sad I feel.

On the first day, many Indian soldiers who were punished were very dissatisfied and went directly to the southern African officers in charge of the Indian troops to demand equal treatment.

Indian soldiers are very simple.

In the minds of most Indian soldiers, southern Africa is still a British colony.

We are all servants, why should you southern Africans be superior to others?

It's still superior to others.

The southern African officers were not polite to these Indian soldiers who disobeyed management and ordered them to be placed in confinement.

In the Southern African Army, soldiers fear nothing but confinement.

Even the lawless mercenaries of the Umbrella Company gurgled at the mention of confinement.

The tough guy was put in 24-hour confinement and had to be carried out.

If the time is longer, someone may die.

The Indian soldiers who were imprisoned probably thought that the confinement rooms in southern Africa were similar to the field hospitals in the United Kingdom. After all, they were all about treating diseases and saving lives.

As a result, all the first batch of soldiers who were put in solitary confinement were carried out. Half of them went directly to the hospital after being carried out of the solitary confinement room. Two of them became insane and went crazy, and one of them died.

The dead one was said to have hit himself to death by hitting his head against the wall.

Only on the third day, the Indian soldiers who were non-violent and non-cooperative under the British management were like chickens under the management of the southern Africans.

This surprised the British.

After Charlie Jenkins learned about it, he immediately came to learn from it.

God knows how much effort the British put into making the Indians obey.

"It's so simple, just eliminate all the disobedient ones, and the rest will be obedient." Su Jianping calmly dug a hole for Charlie Jenkins. If the British really did this, they would have to rebel no matter how non-violent and non-cooperative they were.

Of course, the Indian rebellion is different from the Chinese concept of rebellion.

For Indians, non-violent non-cooperation is rebellion.

They can only go so far.

This made the Indians take up guns and fight the British, but the Indians couldn't do it.

They didn't dare either.

Charlie Jenkins made a haha ​​and didn't respond, which is actually what the British did.

Even though Winston discusses everything big and small with Roark, he is just like the two brothers.

When facing the Indians, Winston never showed mercy.

Even Gandhi made Winston nauseous, not to mention other Indians.

"I want to visit your solitary room." Charlie Jenkins took the initiative to find excitement for himself.

You can't blame Charlie Jenkins either.

Since the end of the last world war, the British army and the southern African army have cooperated more and more closely, and joint exercises have been held several times a year.

However, the British generals have never paid much attention to the confinement cells of the southern African army.

"Are you sure?" Su Jianping's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Charlie Jenkins was actually a man.

"Sure!" Charlie Jenkins said seriously. He wanted to know why the confinement chamber in southern Africa had such great magic power.

"Okay" Su Jianping satisfied Charlie Jenkins' curiosity and personally took Charlie Jenkins to the solitary room.

The solitary room was still very clean, with the door wide open and good lighting. There were beds and quilts in the room, and several soldiers were busy paneling the walls.

Someone hit a wall and killed himself, so some precautions need to be taken.

"It looks pretty good," Charlie Jenkins praised repeatedly.

Apart from anything else, the Southern African Army is not particularly picky about hygiene. The floors are spotless, cleaner than Charlie Jenkins' desk.

"I don't understand, why is the solitary room so magical?" Charlie Jenkins asked proactively.

"Want to feel it?" Su Jianping smiled like Maitreya Buddha, which was really not very threatening.

"Sure, why not?" Charlie Jenkins was really curious.

"Okay, but you have to promise that no matter what happens, it will be your own responsibility." Su Jianping was worried about Charlie Jenkins' mental capacity.

"Of course! I am an adult and can be responsible for my own actions." Charlie Jenkins was very unhappy, who was he looking down on!

Su Jianping was also helpless. He had seen people kill people for a piece of bread, but he had never seen people actively ask for confinement.

Then try it.

However, the time should not be too long. As a precaution, Su Jianping moved a chair and waited at the door to see how long Charlie Jenkins could hold on.

As a result, the wait was 6 hours.

Nima is really a strong man.
