Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1086

Arriving at Berbera earlier than the [-]nd Cavalry Division was the Air Force.

Because the rebel army does not have an air force, Rock directly mobilized reconnaissance planes and ground attack planes with confidence, and Somaliland did not have the problem of air supremacy.

It was at this time that Rock realized the benefits of the aircraft carrier. If Rock had an aircraft carrier in his hand, he could directly transfer the aircraft carrier over to solve all the problems smoothly.

In the absence of an aircraft carrier, the transfer of aircraft is a big problem. Only Port Elizabeth has an airport in the entire peninsula. The current aircraft is limited by technology. Even with auxiliary fuel tanks, they cannot fly directly from Port Elizabeth to Berbera. Therefore, Rock Ali Rashid had to be ordered to build a temporary airport in the seller, which allowed the plane to smoothly transfer from Port Elizabeth to Berbera.

Fortunately, airplanes don't have high requirements for airports these days. Just find a flat open space, and with a little tidying up, the plane can take off and land together.

After the reconnaissance plane arrived in Berbera, it immediately scouted the rebels between Berbera and Hargeisa. The result surprised Rock a little. There was no large-scale rebellion between Berbera and Hargeisa. Army, or there is, but the reconnaissance plane was not found, but this possibility is not high.

Unlike the German troops who had experienced the ravages of aircraft, the rebels knew nothing about the role of the aircraft, so they would not hide when they found the aircraft and avoid the detection of the aircraft.

After knowing the situation between Berbera and Hargeisa, Roque is going to open the passage between Berbera and Hargeisa first and restore control of northwestern Somaliland.

The only problem now is that Berbera is about 150 kilometers away from Hargeisa. The terrain between the two places is complicated. Not far from Berbera is the continuous mountainous area. It is very embarrassing for armored forces to fight in this complex environment. However, the Second Cavalry Division does not rely heavily on armored forces. Before the establishment of the Second Cavalry Division, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company have not cooperated with the armored forces, and their performance is still very good.

Although Somaliland has a small number of servants, their morale is not high, and their loyalty cannot be guaranteed, Colonel George Johnson was ordered to command the troops to cooperate with the Second Cavalry Division. In Somaliland, the Second Cavalry Division is a guest army. The environment in Somaliland is not familiar. In this age without GPS, the guest army is very dependent on guides in combat. Rock did not have much hope for Colonel George Johnson's troops. It is impossible to fight, but it is always possible to be a qualified guide. Bar.

Of course, before that, the first thing Rock had to solve was the issue of loyalty. For this reason, Rock asked Colonel George Johnson to rectify the servant army and drive out all problematic soldiers to minimize the possibility of accidents.

The guide can guide the Second Cavalry Division to find the rebels, or lead the Second Cavalry Division into the encirclement of the rebels, so Rock will not hesitate on this issue.

"My lord, if we do this, we may not even have one-tenth of the soldiers available--" Colonel George Johnson was in a dilemma. He knew what Roque said was right, but if he did what Roque said , then Colonel George Jensen can't afford the consequences.

Think about it, with less than 2000 troops, only about 200 people have guaranteed loyalty. Let alone whether there is any doubt about the "loyalty" of these 200 people, what does this mean?

Explain that Colonel George Jensen is dereliction of duty!

At least one dereliction of duty cannot escape.

"George, even if the loyalty of only 20 people is guaranteed, it's better than being confused like this. I don't know how you ruled Somaliland before. The Somaliland protectorate has been established for 30 years. For 30 years, there are only 200 people. The loyalty of the soldiers is guaranteed, how did you do it?" Rock is really speechless, even if the British government doesn't pay much attention to Somaliland, out of the protection of the Suez Canal, it allocates millions of pounds to the Somaliland protectorate every year, even if Even if you spend money, you can turn some Somalis into leaders.

"My lord, the situation in Somaliland is very complicated. We once established an army loyal to the British Empire, but after the rebellion, most of the soldiers who were loyal to the British Empire died in battle. The current soldiers are basically later Recruited—” Colonel George Jensen also had difficulties. According to the habits of British colonial officials, the annual budget may not even be enough to maintain the operation of the colonial government. I don’t know if there will be any funds that are actually used to win over the Somalis. How many.

"Don't worry that no one will be available in the future. I transferred a Gurkha mercenary from Port Elizabeth and let them take care of the servants first." Although Rock no longer serves as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, the The rights are still great. Although Winston did not give Rock a formal position, he gave Rock full responsibility for the counter-insurgency work in Somalia, and also squeezed out 500 million pounds from extremely difficult finances to Rock.

Winston's only requirement is that all rebels in Somaliland must be wiped out.

Winston doesn't care what method Rock uses. Winston would probably be happier if Rock tied up all the rebels and threw them into the Red Sea.

"That's great, I'll execute it right away." With Rock's endorsement, Colonel George Jensen finally stopped worrying about gains and losses.

Berbera's servant camp is not far from the port. From the construction of the camp, it can be seen that Colonel George Johnson is still very careful. The soldiers' barracks are built of solid stones. The seaside environment is relatively humid, and the sea breeze Erosion can do a lot of damage to buildings. The wooden houses that are common in southern Africa can be used for more than ten years in inland areas without any problem, but their lifespan will be directly halved in coastal areas.

Now port cities in southern Africa are gradually replacing wooden houses with stronger reinforced concrete buildings.

When Colonel George Johnson came to the slave army camp, Angie brought ten armored vehicles to cooperate with Colonel George Johnson's "purity" operation against the slave army.

The servant army camp in Berbera really opened An Qi's eyes. From the moment she entered the door, Angie didn't like the servant army at all.

In southern Africa, no matter how remote the military camp is, there are guards on duty at the gate at all times. Usually, the guards wear gorgeous dresses, and the Lee Enfield they carry may not be specially made, but the bayonet must be cold and bright, and the military boots must be spotless. , the buckle on the collar and the drawstring of the helmet must be neat.

When the armored convoy led by An Qi arrived at the servant army camp, there was not even a guard standing guard at the gate of the camp, let alone the appearance of the army. The gate of the barracks was closed. The first armored vehicle honked its horn for a long time at the gate Only two lazy soldiers came to open the gate of the barracks.

When the convoy entered the barracks, Angie noticed that two guards—should be considered guards—were not carrying rifles, one of the soldiers didn’t even wear an outer belt on the outside of his military uniform, and the other didn’t wear his shoes properly. The heel upper of the shoe is stepped on the sole of the foot, and the military shoes are worn like slippers.

Neither of the two guards was wearing a hat. When the armored vehicles entered the gate of the barracks, one of the guards still couldn't help yawning, and then he was choked on a mouthful of dust. Went to the duty room——

If such guards appeared in southern Africa, all officers of the entire army would be responsible from top to bottom, and the chief officer would definitely be dismissed.

Colonel George Jensen called a conference of all the officers as soon as he came to the barracks.

Compared with the lazy and unfit soldiers, the military appearance of the officers is still good, at least their uniforms are neat and their beards are well trimmed, but this cannot conceal the fact that they are dereliction of duty.

As expected, after Colonel George Jensen announced that he would streamline the army, he immediately aroused unanimous dissatisfaction among the officers.

"We only have such a small number of people left now. If we want to be more streamlined, we should simply disband—" A middle-aged short and fat man who also wears the rank of colonel said bluntly. From his body shape, he can tell How low is the requirement for oneself in normal times, not to mention soldiers, even civilians, there are not many people with such a bloated figure these days.

"If we must ensure the loyalty of the soldiers, we may only get less than 100 people in the end." Lieutenant Colonel Leander, sitting on the left hand side of Colonel George Johnson, expressed concern. He is not yet 40 years old, but looks almost As old as 60 years old, it is really annoying to work in Somaliland.

"I'm worried that if we announce this news, it may cause a mutiny in the troops—" There are also officers who are pessimistic and disappointed, and mutiny is not unheard of.

"Everyone, this is not my whim. This is the request of the Marquis of Nyasaland. If you have any comments, please keep it for now. Don't say I didn't remind you that the order of the Marquis of Nyasaland must be strictly implemented!" George Jensen The colonel has a stern voice. In the British Army, Rock's current status cannot be shaken.

However, it was obvious that someone complained about this. As soon as Colonel George Jensen finished speaking, the middle-aged short fat man muttered something in a low voice.

"It's louder, I can't hear you clearly!" Colonel George Jensen said with a stern look.

"I mean, even the Marquis of Nyasaland can't ignore the facts of Somaliland. Unless we can kill all the Somalis, we will have to rely on these Somalis to effectively rule Somaliland." The young and fat man is sonorous and powerful, and logically there is no problem.

"I remind you Watt again, don't question the decision of the Marquis of Nyasaland, the Marquis of Nyasaland is a hundred times wiser than you, in fact I am going to do what you said, now these Somalis are not what we can rely on The target, but our enemy!" Colonel George Jensen sputtered, and to be honest, Colonel George Jensen had endured this situation for a long time.

ps: Someone who said that I only gave the ticket after ten thousand changes, what about his conscience?I have three shifts and nine thousand every day, and I don’t rest on the Dragon Boat Festival, so I’m not diligent enough?

PS: I want to vote for someone who is a hard-working author, the word hard-working really hurts my heart!

Still ps: Whether you love me or not, I love you, so today is still the third watch——
