Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 635

Fortunately, after the official exercise started, the troops used blank ammunition. Otherwise, in just a few minutes, the number of casualties may have greatly exceeded the casualty index of the exercise.

The person in charge of the mercenary is Song Laoyao, who has received training at the training base of the Ministry of War. One of the founders of the umbrella company is the oldest group of people around Rock.

The mercenaries are not good at fighting in large groups, and they are very skilled in cooperating with small groups. Therefore, in order to break through the defense line of Rhodesia's northern division, the only advantage is all kinds of interspersed penetration.

Although the organization of mercenaries sounds a bit out of reach, most of the officers in this group of mercenaries have received formal training at the Nyasaland Army Academy, and most of the soldiers are from Gurkha, so it is different from southern Africa. There is not much difference between the regular army, which brings more convenience to mercenaries.

Youngest Song directly gave up the frontal attack and sent several small teams to intersperse and detour. One of them successfully interspersed near the headquarters of the Rhodesia Northern Division before being discovered. Although this did not change the results of the exercise, it was also important to Martin. It is simply unacceptable.

"Hehe, it's a fluke. We were lucky this time, so we were able to get it smoothly. Thank you, Ma, for your kindness—" The youngest Song was careless, and he didn't have much respect for Martin, who was about to become the deputy minister of defense. After all, he was a colleague before. The Deputy Minister of Defense also eats, drinks, and sleeps. Roque is the Deputy Minister of Defense now, so he wears the same clothes and eats the same food as his old brothers.

While staying in the barracks, Roque didn't wear any uniforms. Like Martin, he was the uniform of a southern African officer. However, Roque's military uniform did not wear a military rank mark, but the bright gold stars on Martin's shoulders were eye-catching.

The uniforms of military officers in southern Africa are based on iron gray, with curved hats, safari jackets, wide-leg pants, and long military boots, which are simple, elegant, smart and capable.

Unlike the iron gray of the army, the mercenary clothing of the Umbrella Company is khaki, and its style is also very different from that of the regular army. The mercenaries prefer fisherman hats, jackets, overalls, and short military boots, compared with the regular army , This uniform of mercenaries is more popular among southern African soldiers and civilians.

Yes, many regular army officers and soldiers have also purchased mercenary uniforms, which they often wear when they are on vacation.

"Don't be complacent, you won't be so lucky next time—" Martin also laughed. In fact, the regular army and mercenaries are also considered brother troops. In many cases, it is inconvenient for the regular army to come forward. The mercenaries are the scapegoat. Martin and Song The youngest is also an old brother, so there is no bloody sword imminent.

"We are also accumulating experience, next time we will directly take over your headquarters!" Youngest Song still did not forget to salute Rock first, and then sat down opposite Martin with a smile.

"How do you feel? Do you still feel that I am number one in the world?" Rock teased casually. In the past few years, the north of Rhodesia has gone smoothly, and all the senior officials, including Martin, are inevitably a little bit drifting. Rock has to beat him frequently.

In fact, the smooth sailing has nothing to do with the level of the officers. If Song Laoyao is the commander of the Rhodesia Northern Division, Song Laoyao can also become the undefeated God of War.

But if you go to Europe, it’s not necessarily true. Although the professional soldiers in southern Africa are of high quality and the equipment level of the troops is also very good, the biggest shortcoming in southern Africa is still human resources. Now the population of Germany has exceeded 6000 million. The population of the British mainland is 500 million, and even the population of the French mainland has exceeded 4000 million. Southern Africa has a territory of more than 300 million square kilometers, but the population is still less than 500 million. The potential for war is indeed a bit weak. It will also be able to dominate in Africa.

That's why Rock racked his brains to add various advanced weapons and equipment to the troops in southern Africa, hoping to narrow the gap in human resources as much as possible by virtue of the generational difference in equipment.

Rock is even considering forming an army composed entirely of African natives. If the southern African army really wants to be cannon fodder, then send troops composed of Africans to participate in crowd tactics. Anyway, no matter how many Africans die, Rock will not Distressed.

Preparations for this have already begun. In Natal, Basutoland and Swaziland in southern Africa, the Ministry of War is conducting a census. Once war breaks out, Rock hopes that 10 people will be formed in these three regions. Troops with more than one man will reduce the population of Africans in Southern Africa, and they will be able to earn enough contribution points in the Allies. At that time, Southern Africa will be able to annex Southwest Africa and Tanganyika with more peace of mind.

"Really, my lord, you are number one in the world." Martin smiled hippiely, not looking like a high-ranking officer in front of Rock, and the youngest Song was contemptuous.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not the best in the world, don't forget to sum up the experience and lessons, the exercise report will be handed in tomorrow morning." Rock is not talking nonsense, the experience and lessons are summed up in this way, Rock will pass the exercise report to Nyasaland Army Academy, further refinement of the Army Drill Code for Southern Africa.

"The summary meeting is about to start. Don't worry, my lord. I'm going to kill those bastards tonight, so as not to see the ugly faces of some people." Then he saluted and turned around.

Rock waited for Martin to leave before asking Zach to bring coffee to Youngest Song.

The youngest Song didn't dare to neglect, and he didn't forget to thank him when he picked up the coffee.

Zach grinned and didn't open his mouth, his attitude towards Youngest Song was obviously different from that of other people.

Song Laoyao retired from the police station because his leg was blown off, but Song Laoyao did not give up on his requirements, and insisted on participating in military training wearing prosthetics, and his grades were not bad.

The dozen or so people who received training at the training base of the Ministry of War have now become members of the management of Umbrella and Brad. They are also very competitive. Although they have various disabilities, they are all physically disabled. Jian, everyone's status is very important and basically irreplaceable.

Rock was also very kind to these old brothers. He did not abandon them like the British government did. He not only trained these old brothers to find jobs again, but also helped them all start families and settle down in Johannesburg or Nyasaland.

In fact, this is also a role model. The power of role models is infinite. In southern Africa, whether it is regular troops or mercenaries, the morale is very high.

Because they knew very well that even if they were killed, Roque would take care of their family.

Therefore, for many Gurkha soldiers, it is a very cost-effective thing to die for southern Africa. If they die, their families will get a large farm and enjoy tax-free treatment within a certain area , their children will also receive monthly pensions from the Ministry of Defense until they reach adulthood.

Even if they are disabled, they can live a good life in Nyasaland. Many departments and agencies of the Nyasaland State government are willing to recruit these disabled people who have retired from the army due to injuries. These people are responsible for their work and cherish their work A hard-won job offer, and with a high level of vigilance at work, you won't have any issues with loyalty, especially the security forces, who are in high demand.

"How's it going under the umbrella?" Rock casually chatted with the youngest Song.

"It's very good. The benefits of leisure work are endless. I haven't spent the salary from the company. I keep it in the Rand Bank. I plan to buy a farm in Bechuanaland in a few years. It doesn't matter even if there is no output. Save some wife money for your son." Youngest Song is very satisfied with the current environment.

There is indeed nothing dissatisfied. Nyasaland has been immigrating from the Qing Dynasty over the years. From those immigrants, the Chinese in Nyasaland know the situation in the Qing Dynasty very well. The people are almost living in dire straits. Compared with the happy life in southern Africa, one is really heaven and the other is hell.

"How many children are there?" Roque signaled Zach to prepare dinner. There are ranks in the barracks. Officers have small stoves, and Roque himself brought a cook, but this was not arranged by Roque, and Roque doesn't care about it now. Zach is responsible for these little things.

"Three, one a year, two sons and one daughter, my wife is pregnant again now, judging by the size of her belly, she might be twins—" Song Lao Yao burst into laughter when she said this.

Three children are rare in southern Africa. The average family in southern Africa starts with five or six children. The proportion of newborn babies in Nyasaland is particularly high. Therefore, kindergartens and primary schools are being added everywhere to cope with the increasing number of children. The surging baby boom.

Corresponding to Nyasaland, in Natal, Basutoland and Swaziland, the population increase has stagnated. The former colonial government ignored the population growth of Africans, and the population of Africans increase, the colonial government will get more labor, so the colonial government will even be happy to see it.

Now the situation has improved a lot. Although the federal government still doesn’t care about the number of Africans, all places including Nyasaland refuse Africans to settle down, so many African adults are leaving Natal, Pakistan, etc. While Sutoland and Swaziland were working, they had to be separated from their wives, and they didn’t even see each other for two or three years. This effectively reduced the population growth rate of Africans.

It may sound inhumane, but for the future of southern Africa, Rock has to do this.

In fact, the benefits of doing so are also great. Johannesburg took the lead in becoming the first city in southern Africa without slums. Without those row upon row of thatched houses, Johannesburg's city appearance has instantly improved to become the most European city in southern Africa. .

Of course, the management of other cities can also see the changes in Johannesburg. Since Johannesburg has eliminated slums and has not affected economic development, it must follow suit.

So the power of role models is really great.
