Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The military observation group not only visits the arsenal, but also observes troop training.

The military training in Southern Africa is also famous for its strictness. The Intelligence Office of the Ministry of War in Nyasaland has reported to the Ministry of War on the training situation of the troops in Southern Africa a long time ago. The British have not paid enough attention to the army. These two

Due to the arms race in 2007, the British gradually improved the status of the army and began to pay attention to the training of its troops.

On the training ground in the camp, the two companies left behind are training, namely Company D and Company F of the Third Regiment of the First Cavalry Division. If George White had not taken the initiative, Rock would not have arranged similar activities. The Southern African Army's

The training is all live ammunition, and it is still dangerous.

What surprised George White was that there were quite a few technical arms in the Southern African Army. These technical arms refer to soldiers with certain special skills, such as machine gun shooting, field rescue, driving maintenance, etc.

Every time a skill is mastered, the corresponding icon will be embroidered on the military uniform. The icon of the British army is on the sleeves, and the icon of the Southern African army is on the chest. However, the styles of the icons are different. The triangle represents the tripod and represents the machine gun.

Shooter, the red cross represents field rescue, and the icon for driving maintenance is a cross with a circle outside, which represents the steering wheel.

George White was surprised to find that almost every soldier had a red cross on his chest, which showed that almost every soldier was capable of field rescue. At a time when medical resources are so scarce, this level of popularity was simply unacceptable to George White.

.

"Field rescue is not a general practitioner. For different injured parts, as long as you know how to tie a tourniquet and know how to simply bandage, you can firmly fix the wounded on the wound. But if you add it, you can be regarded as understanding battlefield rescue, and further improve the wound."

Treatment and surgery are the doctor's job." Roque explained in detail that not only is the Johannesburg Medical College now specialized in field rescue, Xuanwu City has also established a military medical university specifically to train military doctors. In two years, the medical level in southern Africa will be

There will be a leap forward.

"Then what's the point of such field rescue?" George White was very disappointed. He thought that all these soldiers were field doctors, which was terrible.

"If injured soldiers on the battlefield can receive timely rescue, the mortality rate can be reduced by more than 70%. The value of veterans does not need to be emphasized. It saves more than just pensions. In order to allow more soldiers to learn the battlefield

As long as you master the basic battlefield ambulance skills, you can get an extra five shillings a month in salary." Rock also does everything he can. Five shillings a month doesn't sound like much, but it's six shillings a year.

Pounds are still very attractive.

The annual income of soldiers in the British mainland is only about fifty pounds. The salary of soldiers stationed in the colonies is higher, but it does not reach the level of one hundred pounds.

The average salary of soldiers in southern Africa in peacetime is one hundred pounds. Once a war breaks out, they will receive war allowances. If they perform overseas combat missions, they will also receive overseas allowances. Overall, the salary level is very good.

"No wonder the War Department gives you five million every year, but you can only maintain so few troops." George White was heartbroken. Five million means three dreadnoughts.

Bah, let's give it to Southern Africa, at least it's for the Army.

"We have just established several infantry divisions composed entirely of African soldiers. The cost of these troops is relatively low and can be appropriately expanded." Roque cannot just take money and do nothing. The Ministry of War is not a genius.

We need to see results, otherwise support to southern Africa will be stopped at any time.

In name, this money is still an interest-free loan. As for whether it needs to be repaid in the future, it depends on the performance of Southern Africa. If Southern Africa's performance is good enough, it is not impossible to waive these interest-free loans.

The UK used to give more than 20 million in interest-free loans and financial aid to Southern Africa every year. This year, as the UK's finances also encountered problems, all other aid has been stopped except for the 5 million targeted for the Ministry of Defense.

This made all newspapers, including The Times, angry. Because while reducing aid to southern Africa, Britain was increasing aid to France, some people in the government are now being called "British traitors."

, even if southern Africa is autonomous, it will always be part of the British Empire.

"How many?" George White cared.

"Eight, each division has 15,000 men." Rock spared no expense. These soldiers also had to be paid, but each soldier only had a little more than one pound per month.

In other words, the cost of a professional soldier is about ten times that of an African soldier.

"Is this the same kind of army?" George White's eyes lit up. If they were all such high-quality soldiers, they could indeed play a big role.

"How is it possible? If that happens, the federal government will go bankrupt." Rock's words made George White feel like he was on a roller coaster. Great joy was immediately followed by great sadness. The elderly really couldn't stand such a torment.

Finally, Rock was more considerate of the elderly: "Although they are not as good as these professional soldiers, they are definitely more effective than the Indian troops."

Rock is still sure of this.

"The Indian troops are scum. The empire should not waste time and money on the Indian troops at all." George White gritted his teeth. He didn't know whether his tragic loss in the Second Boer War had anything to do with the Indian troops.

"Even if the Indian troops can't fight, there's still no problem in being responsible for logistics." Roque has no confidence in the Indian troops either. However, the war is imminent. All forces that can be united must be united. No matter how lazy the Indians are, whips and sticks can always make a difference.

They became diligent.

"You mean, let our children go into battle to protect the safety of Indians?" George White asked a sharp question. This question is really difficult to answer. Let the Indians go to the battlefield. The Indians will not win. If you don't let them go, then

It is not in the interests of the UK

It’s nerve-wracking!

Fortunately, Roark didn't need to worry about it. This was an issue for the generals in the War Department to consider.

"Kid, bring your gun over here and let me see it." George White finally noticed the sniper rifle used by a sniper.

No, it should be called a precision shooter now.

In southern Africa, the symbol for a precision shooter is a scope.

The soldier did not obey immediately, but looked at Rock first. After seeing Rock nod, he reluctantly handed the rifle to George White with both hands.

George White had obviously seen a rifle with a scope installed. He pretended to aim it, then handed the gun to the soldier, and casually asked about the standards for precision shooters in southern Africa.

"Without using a scope, nine out of ten shots on a 100-meter head target will hit the mark." Rock's requirements are high. Ordinary soldiers shoot chest targets at a distance of 100 meters. Of course, the requirements for precision shooters are higher.

Then Rock noticed George White's dull expression.

Only then did Rock remember that the British army was still shooting with thin red lines these days, so the concept of head targets was too advanced for George White, just like it is for today's pilots to understand over-the-horizon air combat.

It's not in the same dimension at all.

"Kid, can you do it?" George White did not doubt Rock's words. Rock was not bragging about this kind of thing, but it was really unbelievable. In fact, there were precision shooters in the British army, but for precision

Shooters don't pay much attention to it and don't have any special training in this area.

"Of course, all of us can do it." The precision shooter's words are not accurate. He means that all precision shooters can do it, and ordinary soldiers certainly cannot.

"Locke, I think you should put on a show." George White Seeing is believing.

Rock doesn't care, he always has to prove to the War Department that the five million per year is worth the money. Precision shooters have to spend a lot of time training every day, and live fire is fired every day. Rock has confidence in them.

Since it was a "performance", Rock recruited more people. As a result, the two companies had more than forty precision shooters in total. This ratio was really astonishing.

"There was a problem with military spending last year. Some of the troops in Southern Africa were laid off, and ordinary soldiers were directly retired. These technical arms were retained and supplemented to the Northern Rhodesian Division and the First Cavalry Division, so the number of precision shooters was relatively large." Roque still said.

An explanation to prevent George White from becoming unbalanced.

In fact, not only George White, but all military observers are already on the verge of mental imbalance. There may be only a dozen precision shooters in a division of the British army. In southern Africa, there are more than 20 in any company. Now

Even if Roark wants to cancel the "performance", military observers will not agree. They want to confirm with their own eyes that Roark is not wasting precious funds of the War Department.

"Take off the sights, give each man ten rounds of bullets, a hundred-meter head target, and enter the combat position." Following the order from Broder, the captain of D Company, more than 40 precision shooters filed into the combat position.

George White chose an accurate shooter at random and stood next to him to observe to make sure the results were not cheated.

Other military observers also followed the same example. They observed very carefully, especially the preparation movements of the precision shooters, which made them feel very novel.

"This is to better utilize the power of the Lee Enfield. The German Mauser rifle has a five-round magazine, and our Lee Enfield has a ten-round magazine, so we must give full play to this advantage and in the shortest possible time

Fire more bullets. These precision shooters have a standard called 'Crazy Minute', which refers to emptying all ten bullets in one minute." Rock took the initiative to explain, and then George White and other military officers

Observers immediately saw what a "crazy minute" was.
