Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1930 Ace Troop
Rock's worry is not a shadow of a snake. When the Brazilian military government hoped that the United States would intervene in the mediation, the United States not only did not restrain itself, but continued to increase its troops to Rio. Now there are more than [-] US Marines in Rio de Janeiro alone. The commander has participated in the mediation. George Marshall in World War I.

George Marshall, American politician, military strategist, diplomat, five-star general of the Army, served as the Chief of Staff of the US Army during World War II.

George Marshall was also a late bloomer. His grades were not good when he was a child, and he was often the last in the class in the exam. Later, George Marshall entered the Virginia Military Academy and graduated from the military academy with an excellent score of No.8. The next year he received the rank of second lieutenant and was sent to the Philippine service.

At this time, George Marshall must have never imagined that he stayed at the rank of lieutenant officer for an extraordinary amount of time until 1916, when George Marshall was 36 years old. He was still a lieutenant. He went to Europe with Pershing to participate in the war. During the war, his rank was promoted to temporary colonel. However, when the war ended, George Marshall's rank was adjusted to captain. At this time, he had been a lieutenant for 18 years.

In 1921, Pershing served as the chief of staff of the U.S. Army. George Marshall, as Pershing's chief assistant, was promoted to lieutenant colonel. Marshall served as the commander of the Illinois National Guard Division. He had just left for Brazil a week ago, when George Marshall's rank was finally adjusted to brigadier general.

The brigadier general is the lowest-ranked general, but he is still a general. So far, among the American soldiers in Brazil, George Marshall has the highest military rank, so George Marshall has naturally become the commander of the US military in Rio.

Although Henry and Morgan Jr. reached a share swap agreement, the increase in US troops still made Rock vigilant.

Based on Rock's understanding of Americans, Americans will not give up so easily.

The same is true for southern Africa. If the United States makes troubles in the neighboring countries of southern Africa, southern Africa will also expel Americans from Africa at all costs.

So Rock can talk, but the front line still has to fight, and the fight has to be harder and more painful, so that it is possible to force the Americans to the negotiating table.

Considering that the Americans continued to increase their troops, Rock also had to respond by dispatching more troops to Brazil to give greater support to the Michigan government.

Just as Rock was strategizing, Luanda, another group of officers and soldiers of the Union Army boarded the cruise ship and prepared to go to Victoria.

Different from the previous Union troops, the proportion of Caucasians and Orientals in the Union troops boarding this time is significantly higher. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is not a Union army at all. Maybe it is the Southern African Defense Forces wearing Union uniforms. .

As we all know, after the World War, most of the troops in southern Africa were abolished, and only two ace troops remained, namely the Rhodesian Northern Division and the First Cavalry Division. African.

It can be seen that the federal government attaches great importance to this expedition. Undersecretary of National Defense An Qi personally came to the pier to see the troops off. The leader of this army was also Colonel Qin Ling who had participated in the World War.

Compared with George Marshall, Qin Ling's resume is even more legendary. He came to southern Africa in 1907. He joined the umbrella company after graduating from high school. After the outbreak of the World War, he went to Europe as a sniper with the second division of the Southern African Cavalry. Participated in the war, and finally confirmed the effective results of more than 350 people. He was one of the many unknown "Reapers" in the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

After the end of the World War, Qin Ling was transferred to Nyasaland Army Academy as a sniper instructor. During this period, Qin Ling participated in training courses for intermediate officers and senior officers, and was transferred to serve in Port Elizabeth and Halifax. Now Qin Ling has Become one of the best young officers in the Southern African Defense Forces.

The current Qin Ling is only 35 years old. For senior military officers, this age is indeed young. George Marshall was already in his 50s before becoming a brigadier general. Qin Ling estimated that he could become a general before the age of 40.

Maybe after returning from Brazil, Qin Ling can directly become a general.

"This is the first time that our Southern African National Defense Force has gone abroad to participate in the war after the World War. We must show our military power!" An Qi has high expectations for Qinling. Now in southern Africa, the old team headed by Hopkins The colonial soldiers of the first generation have all retired, and Rock and Anton are gradually retiring to the second line. When the next world war breaks out, An Qi and Qin Ling's generation of soldiers will become the backbone of the southern African military.

"Understood, don't worry, General, I will definitely teach the Yankees a profound lesson." Qin Ling is serious, despising the enemy strategically, and respecting the enemy tactically, this is the school motto of Nyasaland Army Academy.

Right next to An Qi and Qin Ling, officers and soldiers of the Salisbury Rifle Regiment under the Northern Rhodesian Division are lining up to board the troop carrier. This is a luxury cruise ship from a South African company. Although the Northern Rhodesian Division is Rock Founded by himself, but has always been regarded as a junior soldier by Stoudemire, and Stoudemire also attaches great importance to his junior soldiers going to war.

This time the Salisbury Rifles faced a lot of difficulties.

After all, it was going out in the name of the Union Force. Compared with the Southern African National Defense Force, there is still a gap in the equipment of the Union Force, especially in terms of firepower. After the Salisbury Rifles arrived in Brazil, it may take some time to adapt to the Fight without firepower superiority.

The two ace troops in southern Africa have been equipped with light machine guns at the squad level. On average, each squad has a light machine gun, a sniper, and a rifleman equipped with a "super revolver" grenade launcher.

The alliance troops are much worse. Machine guns are only equipped to the platoon level, and the number of heavy firepower such as mortars is much less than that of the National Defense Forces. Not to mention that the National Defense Forces also have the cooperation of tanks and helicopters. Fire support can be called at any time, and these conditions are not available in Brazil.

Of course, Qinling is certainly not in vain. With firepower superiority, there is a way of fighting with firepower superiority. Without firepower superiority, the individual quality of officers and soldiers will be tested. You can't fight without firepower superiority.

Rock sent the National Defense Forces to participate in the war, and it is estimated that he also meant to test the National Defense Forces.

One thing must be explained is that the southern African troops have always been fighting with absolute superior firepower. Even during the World War, the firepower of the Southern African Expeditionary Force still had an advantage in the face of the German army.

This time the situation is different. Southern Africa and the United States are both the two countries with the most powerful industrial capabilities in the world. Southern Africa is used to fighting under superior firepower. The same is true for the US military. The direct collision between the troops of these two countries in Brazil means nothing It is far-reaching, and it may have an impact on the thinking of army building in the future of armies all over the world.

"Go ahead, remember to be cautious, but you must take the initiative to attack when you find an opportunity. The combat effectiveness of the army cannot be obtained by training." An Qi gave Qin Ling enough initiative to prevent the foreign emperor from being affected. , Even if the communication is very developed now, the distance between Pretoria and Victoria is really too far.

Without saying a word, Qin Ling paid a military salute to An Qi and went straight to the boat.

There were no salutes and champagne, and no citizens seeing off the troops. The 1800 officers and soldiers of the Salisbury Rifles set off in a low-key manner. Only a few people knew that the Southern African Defense Force had officially entered the war.

The conditions of the "Bigonia Flower" cruise ship are indeed worthy of the standard of a luxury cruise ship, and even the most common guest rooms are above the normal standard.

As the supreme commander, Qin Ling stayed in the presidential suite on the top floor of the "Bigonia Flower". After boarding the ship, Qin Ling called the officers for a meeting. From this moment on, Qin Ling has become the supreme commander of the southern African army in Brazil.

The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company, as well as the Mizhou Army, were also under Qin Ling's command.

"The situation is not good. We are on the front line of Mizhou. We are currently in an advantage. The Mizhou Army has surrounded Rio de Janeiro, but in Victoria, the battle is still in a state of anxiety." Qinling's chief of staff, Nelson Terry, is of German origin. He is a very traditional German. It has the advantages of serious and cautious Germans, but the disadvantage is that it is a bit conformist, which is a major flaw for senior commanders.

Commanders need unconstrained thinking in order to strike the enemy unexpectedly on the battlefield.

Another word for following the rules is dogmatism. Your every move will be traceable, so it will not achieve the effect of being right and surprising.

"What are the military observers doing? This is fine against the government forces, but not enough against the Americans." Qin Ling had already done his homework before setting off. Augusto was an experienced mercenary, but he lacked a commanding force. Experience in regimental combat.

"Rio de Janeiro is a coastal city. The MI Army doesn't even have a navy. How can they surround Rio de Janeiro?" Qin Ling was also dissatisfied with the performance of the military observation team. Southern Africa has also been at peace for a long time, and the military observation team is also inexperienced.

"Victoria is also a coastal city. The government army and the U.S. Marine Corps have strong fire support from battleships. What's the point of defending the city other than increasing the number of casualties? The Victorian defenders were ordered to evacuate and give Victoria to the Americans and government troops. , lead the Americans and government forces to the inland areas to encircle and annihilate them." Qin Ling will kill him as soon as he comes up. It is unwise to fight street battles with the Americans and government forces under the premise that the Americans and government forces have superiority in the sea.

Hit the snake to find the seven inches, and fight the Americans and government forces in the coastal cities. Even if the Americans and government forces are not good at fighting, they can retreat calmly.

Fighting inland is different. Brazil's infrastructure is poor, and American battleships can't go ashore. If you lose the superiority at sea, it's really not difficult to defeat the combination of the US Marine Corps and the Brazilian government army.
