Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2154 Big brother don't talk about second brother
After the outbreak of the European War, the entire Berbera was under military control. The defense of the city was in charge of the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company, and the security of the port was in charge of the Southern African Marine Corps.

The Southern African Marine Corps just got a new uniform in July.

The new military uniform is the four-color camouflage that Rock is more familiar with. The southern African field troops and the Marine Corps have already changed their outfits. The Marine Corps is still issued a marine camouflage mainly in blue and white tones, which has a certain camouflage and deformation effect.

Camouflage uniforms are not the first in southern Africa. In 1929, Italy developed a four-color camouflage mainly in brown, yellow, green and tan, but it was not used on a large scale.

The reason why there is no large-scale application is not that the camouflage uniforms are not good, but that the Italians lack enough dyes to make them.

Yes, the reason is that simple.

The withdrawal of the British lobster soldiers from the stage of history is also closely related to the fact that the red dye is too expensive. After the Second Boer War, the British changed the main color of the military uniform from red to tan. The reason is very simple, tan is more economical.

Major Smith & Wesson is now in tawny uniform.

So when Major Smith Wesson saw the four-color marine camouflage on the Southern African Marines, one can imagine the sadness in his heart.

Southern Africa does have deep pockets, too.

Not only the clothes, the helmets of the Marine Corps soldiers are also wrapped in four-color camouflage fabric, which can enhance the camouflage effect on the one hand and block the metal reflection on the other.

The armored vehicles of the Marine Corps have naturally been painted with four-color camouflage, and the outside is covered with a layer of camouflage netting. When necessary, branches and leaves are inserted to make the camouflage effect stronger.

Or an amphibious armored vehicle.

In the distance, there are also amphibious tanks in four-color marine camouflage.

Look at the tanks and armored vehicles of the southern Africans.

Looking at himself as an old-fashioned old car, except for the classic car that blares everywhere except the horn, Major Smith & Wesson feels like a beggar.

There are more than a hundred cars of various kinds in Berbera, and this is the only car that Major Smith & Wesson can mobilize.

"Sorry Major Wesson, Colonel Jerry has a severe flu and is in self-isolation. If you must see him, please come back later, or call Colonel Jerry directly." The person who came forward to receive Smith Wesson It was Major Hope, the staff officer.

level equivalence.

"I can wait, but the Italians won't wait. It's time for Colonel Jerry to be sick!" Smith Wesson sneered, this reason was too clumsy.

Southern Africa has high standards for sanitation and epidemic prevention.

There are many strange diseases in Africa, and they are usually highly contagious, so the requirements for diseases in southern Africa are very strict.

Hope smiled and said nothing.

That's right, just find any reason to prevaricate you.

What can you do?
"Please tell Colonel Jerry that we need to launch an attack on the Italians immediately and break the siege of Berbera by the Italians. The Italians are gathering forces, and we cannot sit still." Major Smith Wesson was very anxious, and Berbera was not Incapable of breaking the siege of the Italians.

Of course, to break the siege of the Italians, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company must first go all out. Indian soldiers are unreliable, and they can fall asleep while standing guard.

Five days before, the Italians had launched an attack on Berbera by night.

The Indian soldiers on guard could fall asleep standing up, causing the Italians to touch the front of the position. If the mercenaries on patrol were not responsible, it would have almost caused a catastrophe.

The Indians are so amazing that they can break through and go offline at any time.

From that day on, Jerry never dared to let the Indians perform any combat-related tasks.

This is probably also the purpose of the Indians.

"Sorry Major Wesson, you know, Southern Africa has not officially joined the war, so if you want to fight back, then please go to Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Surrey, or Mr. Nick Bernard of the umbrella." Hope Be calm, that's what the position of a staff officer is like, keep calm at all times.

Smith & Wesson suddenly became angry.

Why would Smith Wesson come to Jerry if the Indian troops under Jonathan Sarri could complete the task of defeating the Italians.

If the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company could listen to Smith & Wesson's command, Smith & Wesson would not come to make him feel uncomfortable.

What's more, Jonathan Sarri didn't listen to Smith Wesson's command either.

Surrey's military rank is lieutenant colonel, and Wesson's military rank is major. Although the status of the colonial officers is definitely not as good as that of the native service officers, but the military ranks are here, and Jonathan Surrey is not obedient to the announcement.

As for the umbrella.

The first thing Smith & Wesson did when he came to Berbera was to go to Nick Bernard and try to gain command of the Umbrella Company mercenaries.

Nick Bernard flatly refused.

The agreement between Umbrella Corporation and Berbera was signed with the colonial government of Berbera, not with the British War Department.

Smith & Wesson was a member of the British War Department, and the Umbrella Corporation had the power to refuse any order from outside the colonial government of Berbera.

Even the colonial government of Berbera had no right to order the umbrella to attack the Italians. After all, the umbrella agreement was limited to protecting Berbera.

For such an agreement, Smith & Wesson does not approve of it.

Nick Bernard's reply was simple, if Smith & Wesson was dissatisfied with the agreement, then the agreement could be terminated, and the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company would happily evacuate from Berbera.

Smith & Wesson was dumbfounded.

Umbrella Corporation mercenaries withdraw.

Southern African sailors and marines will also be withdrawn.

When the time comes to count on the Indians, and the 150 British soldiers under Smith & Wesson against the Italian servants whose total number has exceeded [-]?
Stop being funny.

The Italians are weak, so it depends on who they compare with.

Compared with the mercenaries of the umbrella company, the Italians are indeed weak.

Compared with Indians, Italians are Draconians.

Even if 150 British soldiers have three heads and six arms, how many Italians can they kill?

Therefore, the southern African fleet is the key point for Smith & Wesson to break the deadlock. As long as it gets the support of Sandy Jerry, then Smith & Wesson will be able to do a big job.

This is military merit.

Think about Montgomery, who was only a major general before the outbreak of the world war and is now a lieutenant general.

According to the latest news, Montgomery has been appointed commander of the Southeastern Military Region of England.

Montgomery's promotion was fairly normal, but looking at de Gaulle, it was as if he was on a rocket and had reached the pinnacle of his life.

After hitting a snag in the southern African fleet, Smith & Wesson went to the British colonial government in Somalia.

Sir Elvis, the British commissioner to Somalia, has returned to Britain for treatment after contracting a sudden illness following Italy's invasion of British Somalia.

Now the highest official of the colonial government of British Somalia is Mitch Marcus.

Mitch Marcus is a native of Berbera, aged 25, strong and healthy.

"I'm sorry, Major Wesson—" Mitch Marcus smiled wryly. Smith Wesson has heard too many apologies these days, and only Mitch Marcus is sincere.

"Don't say sorry to me, what I want to know is, can we revise the agreement with the umbrella company?" Smith & Wesson was furious. British Somalia spent the money of the British Empire.

Spending money and not getting the service you deserve is nothing short of fraud in Smith & Wesson's eyes.

As for modifying the contract, it is not difficult in Smith & Wesson's view. The umbrella company is not willing to take risks. In Smith & Wesson's view, it is only because the money given is not enough.

"I'm afraid not—" Marcus's movements and expressions were very helpless: "—when the war broke out, we had contacted the Umbrella Company, hoping that the Umbrella Company could provide protection for the entire British Somalia. refused our request."

Marcus smiled wryly.

Smith & Wesson guessed right, the key was not enough money.

However, there is nothing worth protecting in British Somalia. The British colonial Somalia has been in a state of loss all these years. The colonial government cannot make ends meet and needs local financial subsidies every year.

After all, Somalia is not southern Africa, but if British Somalia can show a little development potential, the British government will not ignore it to this extent.

"I'm really curious, what are you all doing? The majestic British Empire actually needs the protection of a commercial company, or a group of notorious war hyenas! You should be ashamed!" Smith Wesson said to Marcus and the colonial officials Very dissatisfied with work.

Smith & Wesson spoke harshly, and Marcus blushed.

"Major Smith Wesson, you don't have the right to accuse us! The current troubles are not caused by us, but by you!" Marcus can also complain, the colonial officials are not good enough, but the British soldiers are even worse.

The Germans and Italians were so rampant, in the final analysis, it was the ineffectiveness of the British army.

The development of British Somalia is not good enough, which has a lot to do with the conditions of British Somalia.

Not to mention the lack of resources in British Somalia, there is also a serious shortage of human resources, and the geographical location is not important enough. If the Suez Canal were within the territory of British Somalia, Marcus and his colonial officials would not be so hard-pressed.

Compared with the colonial government of British Somalia, the annual expenditure of the British military, especially the Royal Navy, is tens of millions or hundreds of millions of pounds.

So much investment every year, the result of the war broke out that the army is useless, the navy is completely useless, the air force has been completely lost, and there is no ability to protect the British airspace——

So who is the negligence? ! !
Smith & Wesson probably didn't expect that Marcus would show no mercy.

The atmosphere in the room was almost frozen, Smith & Wesson and Marcus were gasping for breath with wide-eyed eyes, just like the current Britain, which is full of internal and external troubles and difficulties.
