Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1087

Working in a place like Somaliland is challenging for a conscientious person.

No matter how harsh the environment is, it is relative. There are oases in the desert, not to mention the coastal terrain of Somaliland. Even if the environment in the inland area is harsh, the coastal area will not be so bad.

Compared with the environment, what is really intolerable is the person.

Somalis --

How to put it, like Africans in other African regions, Somalis don't need to work hard to have a decent life.

The "passable" here is just the degree of starvation, freezing, thirst and thirst, which is different from "passable" in the normal sense.

Here we need to bring out Maquilo’s theory of needs, not only Chinese, but also most white people. After solving the most basic food and clothing, they start to pursue higher levels, from the most basic physiology to safety, social, social, Respect and self-actualization—corresponding to different needs at different levels, there may be special cases in individuals, but for most people, Maquilo's theory of needs is correct.

But when it comes to Africans, Maquilo's theory of needs is not correct. It is also a matter of proportion. After the physiological needs, they start to stagnate at this stage. They don't try to create wealth, and they don't know how to save it for primitive accumulation when they have money. Instead, they spend all the money first, and then try to make money.

It's not that they don't care about safety, sociality, respect, and self-actualization, but they simply don't think that in the concept of most Africans, there is no sense of safety, sociality, respect, and self-actualization at all.

Specific to Somaliland, the Somalis here are just muddling along. If you ask them about their ideals, those who have the most ideals among them probably want to drive the British away so that they can go back to the past. in the state of life.

As for the changes brought by the British, sorry, that's not what the Somalis want, they don't want to live in big bright and spacious houses, because big and bright houses need to be kept tidy and cleaned, thatch is for lazy people The house is the best, anyway, there is no floor, even if it is dirty, you can't see it.

They also don't want faster trains. Many Somalis live within a hundred square kilometers in their lifetime. What do they need trains for?For Somalis, not only is there no poetry in life, but there is no distance.

They also don't want democracy. The concept of democracy is too complicated for them. Many of them don't understand the relationship between the minority and the majority. The core of democracy is that the minority obeys the majority, or the mediocrity obeys the elite. But for To some, the core of democracy is that other people obey me.

In this case, it really takes a big heart to work in Somaliland.

Colonel George Jensen has a big heart. He knows that he is not capable enough, and he knows that relying on the power of the Somaliland colonial government cannot quell the rebellion in Somaliland, so Colonel George Jensen chooses to obey Rock unconditionally, not only because Rock is the Marquis of Nyasaland, because Rock is also a colonial official, but the energy shown in southern Africa is very different from Somaliland.

But not everyone is as wise as Colonel George Jensen. After Colonel George Jensen fired, Colonel Watt did not admit defeat.

"If we kill all the Somalis, then what's the point of us being here? Sprinkle water and mud to play by yourself?" Watt and George Jensen are both colonels. Colonel does not have jurisdiction.

At the rank of colonel, he is already a senior military officer. Even if Colonel Watt made a mistake on this issue, the biggest punishment may be just to change his job.

Whether this is a punishment for the colonial military officers working in Somalia is not certain.

"You are simply unreasonable. I can't communicate with you. I will send a telegram to London to apply for your transfer from Somaliland, or transfer me from Somaliland." Colonel George Johnson did not save Colonel Watt's face, and directly Choose one of the two and see how London will choose.

"I will also send a telegram to London. Those soldiers are the assets of the British Empire. You have no right to disband as soon as you say so." Colonel Watt was confident. He probably didn't understand the difference between profit and loss of assets.

Colonel George Jensen didn't talk nonsense, raised his hand to call in the guards outside the door, and drove Colonel Watt out of the conference room,

The guards at the gate have been replaced by soldiers from the guard battalion beside Rock.

"No, you don't have this right, and the Marquis of Nyasaland can't deprive me of the right to attend the meeting. You are exceeding your authority—" Colonel Watt still wanted to resist. If he didn't mention Roque, the guards would probably leave some for him Out of face, the guards are not polite now, they just put Colonel Watt up and pulled him out.

"Who agrees and who opposes now?" Colonel George Johnson had already boarded Rock's chariot, so he had to go all the way to the dark.

The conference room was silent, and no one of the officers spoke. They may have a problem with Colonel George Jensen in their hearts, but they have a problem with Roque——

I dare not, I really dare not.

The streamlining work began immediately. The criterion for judging whether a soldier is loyal is not the likes and dislikes of the officer, but the origin and background. All relatives, neighbors, and even soldiers who joined the rebel army in the tribe were all driven out of the army. The final statistical results and Liandel The lieutenant colonel judged that out of 2000 soldiers, only 98 soldiers passed the review, and it was only on the surface. No one can guarantee whether they are members of the rebel army or whether they sympathize with the rebel army in their hearts.

After getting the list, Colonel George Jensen adjusted the list again. All soldiers who killed the rebels in the previous battle with the rebels were also included in the trusted list, so the list increased again. After recruiting more than 100 people and reaching 265, it is finally passable.

At the same time, there are more than 500 people included in the untrustworthy list. These untrustworthy soldiers are different from those neutral soldiers. Soldiers who made disloyal speeches.

In the middle and late stages of the World War, all soldiers who dared to escape during the charge were shot. Soldiers who spread disloyal remarks were not tolerated at any time. Therefore, these more than 500 soldiers, according to Colonel George Johnson’s Asked to shoot them all.

Executed by those trusted soldiers.

"We must guarantee the absolute loyalty of these soldiers. As long as they pass this level, they can gain our full trust, otherwise they will also be part of the rebel army." George Johnson was not ordinary ruthless when he became a colonel.

An Qi didn't speak, his task was to work with Colonel George Jensen, as long as these soldiers didn't mutiny, no matter what Colonel George Jensen did, An Qi would not interfere.

While the officers were having a meeting to discuss, the soldiers brought by An Qi gradually took over the defense of the camp. All soldiers were required not to carry weapons, but to line up on the playground according to the list.

In Somaliland in October, the weather was still a bit hot. These extremely disorganized soldiers complained and gathered on the playground in twos and threes, without the slightest appearance of soldiers.

The soldiers of the guard battalion were not in a hurry. There were six armored vehicles around the playground, two more at the gate, and the last two were guarding the arsenal. Prior to this, Colonel George Jensen had already taken precautions against these soldiers. There are no bullets, and when there are combat missions, each soldier can only get five bullets, and no order is allowed to shoot casually.

This is also to prevent ammunition from flowing into the hands of the rebels. The Somali rebels do not have the ability to produce bullets, nor do they have channels to buy ammunition. In the hands of the colonial government, otherwise, with the strength of the colonial government in Somaliland, it is estimated that the Somali rebels would have been driven out of Somalia long ago.

Unsurprisingly, when the decision was announced, the soldiers who had been disarmed and lined up in different lists on the playground were in an uproar.

At this time, the handling of those "disloyal soldiers" has not yet been announced.

The behavior of the soldiers in the three square teams was also quite different. The best performers were the "loyal soldiers". They could still keep quiet, but there was still panic in the eyes of the soldiers.

The most restless are the "disloyal" soldiers, who have already begun to riot, clamoring loudly and approaching the officers at the front of the line. Even if the officers yell loudly, or even whip them, they cannot calm down these soldiers .

The neutral soldiers are still neutral. They don't know what happened yet, and their faces are at a loss.

"Quiet, quiet—" Colonel George Jensen yelled twice, seeing that it had no effect, he pulled out his pistol.

Bah!

There was a moment of tranquility in the messy playground, but it was only for a moment. When the "disloyal" soldiers reacted, their emotions became even more agitated.

"The British shot, the British shot-"

"My God, they're going to kill us all!"

"We can't sit still—"

The restless soldiers quickened their pace, shouting loudly to embolden themselves, while swarming towards the officers.

An officer tried to stop the soldiers in a frenzy, only to be overwhelmed by the soldiers, who tried to snatch the officer's pistol.

All-all--

The large-caliber heavy machine gun on the vehicle finally opened fire, and the rioting soldiers suddenly turned upside down——

ps: Akali still has [-] monthly tickets, just tell me what to do——
