Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
705 Mechanization
The British kind of patriotic education that always shouts "long live" is still too rough in Rock's view. Soldiers fighting on the front line have no food and clothing, their families in the rear are in danger, officers are in a state of intoxication, and there are so many bad things around them, even if
I shouted "Long live", but what I was thinking about was mmp.
Patriotism education in southern Africa is subtle. There is almost no cost in mobilizing soldiers to remember their hardships and think about their sweetness, but the effect is very effective. For soldiers like Green, even if Schalk Biegel talks about it, Green will not follow him.
Even those Boer soldiers did not believe that Orange's economy would develop rapidly if the federal government management was replaced by Boer officials.
Under the management of Boer officials, the gap between Orange State and other states has really become wider and wider, which is also clearly reflected in the equipment of the soldiers.
In principle, all weapons and equipment used by the Southern African army are uniformly provided by the Ministry of Defense. Whether they are professional soldiers or African divisions, the basic weapons equipped are all Lee Enfields. There is no difference.
However, when it comes to self-defense weapons, soldiers have greater freedom of choice. In principle, soldiers are not equipped with pistols with a relatively short range. However, if the soldiers purchase them themselves, the army will also supply bullets, but only nine millimeters.
In this way, the "cowboy" 11.43 mm large-caliber revolver is eliminated. Many soldiers choose m1911, Ruger, or small-caliber revolvers. In addition to purchasing self-defense pistols, some soldiers also need additional
Equipped with a saber and dagger, you are truly armed to the teeth.
For example, Green, as a private, was not qualified to be equipped with a pistol. However, Green spent his own money to purchase a Ruger pistol, a Gurkha scimitar produced by Favalt Steel Company, and the Lee Eun gun issued by the army.
Field and engineer shovel, Green's equipment is worth more than one hundred rand.
Not only that, Green also has a men's watch produced by Itno. This watch also costs more than one hundred rand. It is said that Green's brother brought Green a trophy from the Sinai Peninsula.
Fighting is a really good way to make a fortune.
They are both soldiers. Sergeant Victor has served longer than Green, has a higher military rank, and has a higher salary than Green. However, apart from the standard equipment issued by the army, Victor does not have any self-purchased equipment. In this way,
The situation is very common among the troops in southern Africa. Soldiers from the Transvaal, Rhodesia, and Nyasaland usually have better economic conditions. Soldiers from Orange, Bechuanaland, and Natal usually have better economic conditions.
Just worse.
There are very few soldiers from Basutoland and Swaziland in the compulsory units. There are very few white people in these two places and almost no Chinese. African soldiers all serve in the African Division.
On August 6, as the situation in Europe continued to deteriorate, the Kingdom of Serbia declared war on Germany.
On August 7, the French army launched an attack on Alsace.
After the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, France captured Alsace through the Thirty Years' War. However, Alsace has a closer relationship with Germany because it is close to Germany. Most of the residents there speak German, and their traditional habits are more similar to Germany.
After the Franco-Prussian War, Alsace and Lorraine were ceded to Germany. From then on, Alsace became an eternal pain in the hearts of the French.
Like Germany's "Schlieffen Plan," France also had a similar war plan, but unlike Germany's detour through Belgium to attack France, France launched a direct attack on Germany, with Alsace bearing the brunt.
In the face of France's strong attack, the German Chief of General Staff Moltke had to adjust his troops. Originally, because Germany had to fight on two fronts, the army was divided into two parts and assigned to the Eastern and Western Fronts. Now the Western Front is divided into the Southern Front and the Northern Front.
In order to strengthen the defense of the northern front, Xiao Maoqi transferred the troops originally assigned to the southern front to prepare for the attack. This will seriously affect the offensive of the southern front in the next few weeks, causing the German army to be unable to attack within the scheduled time.
Complete the siege of Paris, making it impossible to successfully achieve the war goal of the first phase of the "Schlieffen Plan".
On August 8, the War Department called Southern Africa again, asking Southern Africa to launch an attack on Southwest Africa as soon as possible.
Therefore, Ade summoned Roark again, hoping that Roark would stop his fishing plan and implement the orders of the War Department.
"This is the arrest warrant for Henry." Ade was simple and direct. Sidney Milner put a folder in front of Rock. Inside was a large stack of arrest warrants, all with Ade's signature.
Rock opened it and found that the subject of the first arrest warrant was Schalk Biegel, and the charge was "treason." This means that if Schalk Biegel was arrested, Schalk Biegel
If Biegel resists, the arresting police can directly shoot Schalk Biegel to death.
Scroll down a few pages, and you will see more and more familiar names, including Byers, Kemp, Chris Bessemer, the MP from Orange, and Kerry Pepys, the mayor of Bloemfontein.
Matthew Hodge, editor-in-chief of The National, Alva Hamlet, who is doing shipping business in the Cape, and Jesse Sweet, a timber merchant from Orange. The Orange State Assembly is the hardest-hit area. Among the 35 members, there are
18 people are among them.
"Stop executing your fishing plan. There are enough fish caught now. Arrest all the people on the list and give Southwest Africa a fatal blow. Don't give the Germans a chance to resist." Ade does not want to see the south.
Africa is mired in war, and although some people are grotesque and full of complaints, they are not treasonous. As long as they do not violate this bottom line, Ade can be tolerant.
Edmund Gaunt, who has repeatedly opposed the MPs from the three northern states in Parliament, took the initiative to donate 1,500 pounds when the Protestant church raised funds for the Ministry of Defense the day before yesterday. The purpose of the dispute between him and the MPs from the three northern states in the Parliament was
Fighting for more benefits for the Cape, or fighting for more power for Southern Africa, hoping for greater autonomy for Southern Africa, is not inherently bad.
The ones who really touch Adelaide's bottom line are people like Schalke Biegel who are willing to cooperate with Germany for the sake of profit. Such behavior is absolutely unforgivable and must be punished to avoid past mistakes.
"These people are not enough, there are still some that need to be added." The list in Roque's hands far exceeds the list in Ade's hands.
"Turn down -" Ade's face was full of displeasure.
Rock continued to scroll down. The arrest warrant in the lower half of the folder only had Ade's signature, and the subject column was empty.
This means that as long as Roque deems it necessary, he can directly fill in his name, and Ade will bear the responsibility.
This trust was so great that Rock instantly felt that the folder in his hand was much heavier.
Returning to the Ministry of Defense, Roque ordered the 105th Division on standby in Whale Bay to immediately board the ship and head to Europe for reinforcements.
Although the German troops are attacking towards the Whale Bay, the German troops lack artillery. The 103rd Division has little defensive pressure and even has the strength to counterattack. The 101st Division on standby in Kulai and the 102nd Division of Ganwa divided into north and south to attack Windhoek.
, which can effectively relieve the pressure on Whale Bay.
Just when Rock issued the order to attack Southwest Africa, the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division, which had been deployed on the Tanganyika border, launched an attack on Tanganyika at the same time.
The offensive target of the Northern Rhodesian Division was Usombra, located at the northernmost point of the North Sea.
Usombula is only 15 kilometers away from the border. Von Lettoff Vorbeck, who succeeded Falkenhayn as the commander-in-chief of the German army in Tanganyika, was an efficient and pragmatic man. After he came to Tanganyika, he recruited reserve troops
At the same time, Africans were recruited to form two divisions of colonial troops. Neither of these divisions were in Usombula. Von Lettoff Vorbeck cleverly gave up the defense of Usumbula, although it was von Lethof Vorbeck's defense here.
The headquarters of Tove Forbeck is located, but it is too close to the border and there is no danger to defend it, so it cannot be defended at all.
At 10 a.m. on the 8th, the Northern Rhodesian Division entered Tanganyika without encountering any resistance along the way. At 10:30, Gao Ao, the leader of the Edward Commando Regiment, entered Usumbula in an Alligator armored vehicle.
"This is the largest city in Tanganyika! It's too shabby and too small. It's not even as good as a district in our Xuanwu City. What have the Germans been doing all these years?" Gao Ao was so angry that he looked like an alligator.
The shock absorption system is quite good. You can't feel any bumps at all on the Nyasaland road, but it is very obvious in Usombula.
"There are only 300,000 people in Tanganyika. Usombula used to be the largest city in Tanganyika, but it is no longer." Chief of Staff Rex was not surprised. In Africa, southern Africa is definitely the one that stands out. Others
There is no comparison between the region and southern Africa.
This can only be felt more clearly after leaving southern Africa. In southern Africa, you will not feel how fast southern Africa is developing. Southern Africans have become accustomed to everything in southern Africa.
"Thirty years, 300,000 people, 10,000 a year, so it is really a waste to hand over a good place like Tanganyika to the Germans. We can only take it over." Gao Ao was very ambitious, before the Edward Commando Regiment.
It's called the Edward Rifle Regiment. Some time ago, the Ministry of National Defense reorganized the Edward Rifle Regiment into a mechanized infantry regiment. It was equipped with a tank battalion composed of forty "Ranger" tanks, plus the original 120 trucks. The Edward Rifle Regiment
It was officially renamed Edward Commando Regiment.
The Edwardian Commando Regiment was probably the world's first mechanized infantry regiment.
"It can't be calculated like this. Germany doesn't have as sufficient human resources as we do." Rex is more pragmatic. Germany currently has a total population of only 65 million. The local development of industry and agriculture has a high demand for human resources, so there is no excess population to immigrate to the colonies.
, which is completely different from the situation in southern Africa.
The consequences of insufficient human resources are still very serious. This is reflected in Usombula, the first city founded by Germany in Tanganyika. It is estimated that it has not changed much compared to thirty years ago. There are no familiar landscape trees.
, there is no bustling commercial area, and even the road surface is not smooth enough, which gives Gao Ao and Rex a headache.
Mechanized troops are still too advanced for this era. The Edward Commando Regiment is just an attempt. There is only one mechanized force in southern Africa, the Edward Commando Regiment.
