Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 484 Untouchable

Facts have proved that there is absolutely a reason for white officers to look down on Indians. Even simple clearing of the roads, those Indians can't do well.

All the officers of the British troops stationed in India are white men. No matter how good the ordinary Indians are, they can only reach the rank of sergeant major.

This is actually a blow to the enthusiasm of Indian soldiers. In a country with hundreds of millions of people, there are actually quite a few outstanding people, but in places like India, if they are from a low caste, then they will never make it to the top. Not only It's the high caste Brahmins who don't give them a chance, even the British don't give them a chance.

This status quo is actually very hopeless. If Roque was born in a country like India, he would probably try his best to leave and get out of this environment.

So the final result is that capable young people are exodus from generation to generation, and those who are not capable can only drift with the flow.

The Indians in the British army are basically in this state. No matter how good they perform, they cannot become officers, so serving as a soldier is just a job to support their families.

That’s not right. The salaries of Indian soldiers probably cannot support their families. It would be good to support themselves. The most valuable thing on them is the rifles they use, or Martini, which has been eliminated by the new First Cavalry Division Henry, so in the words of Mars Howard, the most important daily job of a white officer is to keep an eye on the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, otherwise many soldiers will secretly sell the weapons for money.

After the order was issued, it was broken down layer by layer, and then Rock saw the white officer holding a whip like a sheep, driving the Indian soldiers to clear the obstacles.

These whips are made of cloth strips wrapped with copper strips. They are not so much whips as short sticks. Rock noticed that a slow-moving guy was reprimanded by a white officer, and then several big turbans came over with this kind of short sticks. , It was a slamming smash, and the ferocity of the attack was shocking.

Those who did it and those who were beaten were actually Indians.

"You don't need a whip to deal with these lazy pigs. They won't act unless they see the whip." Mars Howard said with a cold face, and this scene was probably normal.

"Warning, there are unidentified people approaching 500 meters away—" The machine gunners on the truck stood tall and looked far away. They were equipped with binoculars and kept observing.

When Rock left Johannesburg, he converted a dozen trucks into armored vehicles and took them to India.

The modification is actually to add steel plates to the carriage, and to install a shield on the machine gunner on the roof, so that although the speed of the truck is greatly reduced, the protection is greatly enhanced. In places like India, it can be used as a tank. .

The first reaction after the attack reflects the gap between different troops to the greatest extent.

Before the machine gunner signaled to be alert, the officers and soldiers of Company A had already made preparations. The machine gunners on the roof of the five armored vehicles lined up were waiting in full force. one step order.

The Gurkha troops were still marching before, and they didn't panic after getting the reminder. They remained calm and were waiting for the officer's next order.

The height of these Gurkha soldiers is generally not high, about 1.5 meters, but their 1.5 meters are not the same as the Japanese's bowed short legs, and their body proportions are still very good. Although they look thinner, but It feels very lean.

The key is that the dog-leg scimitars on their waists are really fierce. This kind of dog-leg scimitar is actually called the Gurkha scimitar. Because of its wide front and narrow rear, the blade is thick and the blade is very thin. The overall shape looks very similar to a "dog leg", so it is also called a "dog leg knife". This kind of knife is actually a very good kekrik with extraordinary chopping functions, suitable for hand-to-hand combat and in the jungle It is used for cutting mountains and roads, and it is also an excellent field survival tool.

The dog-leg scimitar is a symbol of Gurkha mercenaries. Rock has already obtained several dog-leg scimitars and sent them back to Nyasaland Arsenal for engineers to study. Next, the dog-leg scimitar will also become Nyasaland The army's first standard saber.

In contrast, the performance of Indian soldiers is unrecognizable. Their curiosity is really great. There are obviously unknown people approaching. In the war zone, "unidentified" means almost the same as the enemy, but they don't Any vigilance action, or a chaotic crowd, someone actually tried to climb on the car to climb up to look far, but was dragged down by the white officer again, and then a group of people surrounded them and groaned again.

Fortunately, the alert was lifted soon, and the people who came over carried the white flag and walked in only to find that it was Lakshmi whom Rock knew.

Well, it is the Lakshmi who did not give gifts to Rock, and the Nakara area where the riot occurred is Lakshmi's territory.

"My lord, my house has been occupied by thugs. They drove us out of the house, but left all the women behind. Those thugs should die. Please kill them all—" Lakshmi said at this moment Rock recognized it very clearly. Although Rock was standing with Mars Howard, Lakshmi did not admit his mistake.

"Wait a minute, we are clearing up the obstacles." Although Lakshmi did not give Rock a gift, Rock would still do his best.

Among other things, what Rock hates the most is harm to women. War makes women go away. As long as women don't take up arms, Rock opposes any harm to women.

"Quickly then, my lord, I'd like to pay a thousand pounds, no, two thousand pounds—" Lakshmi couldn't choose what to say, and the words were a bit insulting.

"Shut your damn mouth! We don't need you to tell us how to work! Get the fuck out of here right now, or I'll put you in jail." Rock can take it, Mars Howard couldn't bear it anymore, and he scolded his head and face.

Lakshmi is really not worthy of sympathy. Although Lakshmi's experience is embarrassing on the surface, as a man, when the thugs broke into his home, he did not fight to the death with the thugs, but left his wife and daughter behind. Escape alone, this kind of person deserves it!

Lakshmi did not escape alone, but there were dozens of people. From the clothes of these people, it can be seen that they are all Lakshmi's family members.

That is to say, when disaster strikes, all the men in Lakshmi's family run away and let the women fall into the hands of the thugs. Of course the thugs deserve to die, but Lakshmi and the escaped men are even more hateful.

Indians did not dare to resist in front of white people. Lakshmi was scolded by Mars Howard, and he didn't even dare to answer. He stood aside muttering, looking at Rock with hope, and the slightest hate.

It is estimated that Lakshmi is slandering at this moment. Why didn't Rock and his soldiers stop those thugs in advance, but they didn't reflect on why there were riots in their territory.

So Roque didn't pity Lakshmi at all. Although Roque was also worried about the fate of those women, as a military officer, Roque must first ensure the safety of the troops, and then consider ending the riot as soon as possible.

Lakshmi didn't dare to make any more demands, and instead scolded the slow-moving Indian soldiers.

These Indian soldiers were all of low caste, and they didn't dare to speak back to Lakshmi, a high caste earth king, but the movements of their hands didn't speed up because of Lakshmi's anger, they were still so slow, bit by bit, Even if it is a branch less than one meter long, I can't wait for two people to lift it together.

"You damned pigs, you deserve to go to hell, and in your next life you will be lowly Sudras, or even damned Dalits—" Lakshmi jumped up and down, looking really anxious.

But even though Lakshmi looked anxious, he didn't go up to help and remove the obstacle as soon as possible.

"Damn the high caste, they don't work, I wish someone could eat for them." Mars Howard really couldn't stand it.

India's caste system is divided into Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras.

Brahmins are the highest rank and are at the highest rank in Indian society, while Sudras, as a low caste, are also called "mixed castes". They are rarely respected in India and do what is considered the lowest occupation.

In addition to the above four, there is another class that does not deserve to have a surname at all. These people belong to the "untouchables" in India, called "Dalits", and are also called "untouchables".

Lakshmi's urging definitely had the opposite effect. The last few tree trunks that were not too big looked very heavy, and those Indian soldiers simply didn't touch them. He lay on the ground with his head huddled casually, without any resistance at all, and of course he would not get up to work.

Rock couldn't stand it anymore, and signaled Guan Jing to use a truck to drag the tree trunk away.

As a result, when the truck dragged away the tree trunk, whether it was the Indian soldiers who were beaten or scolded just now, they all burst into cheers, and even Lakshmi was applauding, as if they had won the victory.

"Lord, you shouldn't have sent the truck out. Look at the expressions of these guys. They don't appreciate it. Instead, they think that your men have done their job and become the same low caste as them. They even think that if others I helped them because others thought they had a lower social status than them, and they should take the initiative to provide services for them." Mars Howard's words refreshed Rock's three views.

Sure enough, next, some Indian soldiers hoped to take the truck of Company A, because they thought it was very good.

Now Rock must not be used to them. The butts of the soldiers of the newly formed [-]st Cavalry Division are much harder than sticks when hitting people.
