Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 648

Adhering to the British tradition, Southern Africa has strict regulations in combat.

The British are indeed old-fashioned and boring, but of course the United Kingdom also has its own uniqueness in being able to transform from a peaceful island country into an empire on which the sun never sets.

In every battle, the officers in the British army, regardless of whether they were nobles or not, must hold a command knife and lead the troops to charge. Although the protagonists on the battlefield have transitioned from cold weapons to hot weapons, this has never changed.

In Roque's eyes, although Britain has a lot to complain about, Roque still respects this point, so the troops and officers in southern Africa must charge forward before fighting, otherwise they will have to use military law.

Although the pioneering team is not an army, it also has a strong military color. If Ryan, the captain, shrinks back when the horse thieves attack, then Ryan will bear the consequences caused by it.

On the contrary, if Ryan fought bravely when the horse thieves attacked, then even if the entire army was wiped out, Ryan would still be a hero in southern Africa, and his family, clansmen, colleagues, and friends would all be proud of him.

Compared with Ryan, Mike Kelly's performance is a bit poor.

This is actually understandable. After all, Mike Kelley is a pure British. Before the autonomy of southern Africa, the British enjoyed a special status in southern Africa, and the Boers, who were also white, also bowed their heads. But all this happened after the autonomy of southern Africa It no longer exists, so when southern Africa was self-governing, many British descendants left southern Africa and went to other British colonies.

Mike Kelley came to Nyasaland after the self-government of southern Africa, so it is understandable that he has a psychological gap. He didn’t need to come to southern Africa to fight horse thieves. If Mike Kelley went to Canada or Australia, then Mike Kelley · Kelly will have a more stable life.

Of course, you can't deny Mike Kelly just because he didn't behave well when he met the horse thief. Normal people will be stimulated more or less when they experience this kind of thing, so Rock is going to send Mike Kelly back with the wounded first. Nyasaran rested for a while before letting Mike Kelly choose.

Looking back, Rock had to confirm the identity of the horse thief.

At this time, Ryan was very sure: "Those horse thieves must be Germans, and they are regular cavalry troops in Southwest Africa. Not long after we arrived at the Kwando River, they appeared on the other side of the river. Now that I think about it, they should be waiting for reinforcements, trying to kill us all—”

Thinking of what happened in the past few days, Ryan was still resentful. These people are totally sorry for the title of "soldier", and they have no honor and glory of a soldier.

"Regular cavalry, very good!" Rock laughed angrily. The Germans had not learned enough lessons. It seems that the rebellion in Tanganyika did not really restrain the Germans, at least not the Germans in Southwest Africa. People restrain themselves.

That's very simple. Now that the troops in southern Africa are gathering in the Okavango swamp, it's very simple to find trouble for the Germans. You don't even need to send out regular troops. The mercenaries of the umbrella company are enough for the Germans in Southwest Africa to have a headache.

"Lock, calm down, it's not time to tear your face apart yet." Viscount Gladstone did not suggest that Rock take revenge, at least not yet.

"My lord, I am the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, and it is my responsibility to protect national security." Rock said righteously. Viscount Gladstone could not care about Ryan's life and death, but Rock could not.

"——" Viscount Gladstone was speechless. As the Governor of Southern Africa, it was actually Viscount Gladstone's responsibility to protect national security.

In fact, southern Africa is not at a disadvantage. Standing in the armored command vehicle, you can clearly see that the two "strong wind" fighters have flown over the Kuando River and entered the territory of Southwest Africa, and they are still circling and diving. The horse bandits are all wiped out, and the pilots will not return.

It was only then that Rock realized that there seemed to be no such thing as airspace in this era. In theory, even if Nyasaland's plane flew to Windhoek, the Germans seemed to have no reason to object.

It didn't take much effort, and in about half an hour, two "strong wind" fighters returned and landed on the grass not far from the convoy.

The two pilots who jumped out of the cabin turned out to be Xu Xiu and Ethan. After returning from Europe, Lin Chengzhi went to the Aeronautical Research Institute to assist the Aeronautical Research Institute to continue to improve the "Strong Wind" fighter. Xu Xiu and Ethan served as flight instructors and were responsible for Italy trains pilots.

They have all been ordered to enter the air force once the Southern African Air Force is established, becoming the first batch of fighter pilots in Southern Africa.

"Sorry, we didn't complete the mission. When we set off from the Okavango swamp, we didn't carry many bullets. We ran out of bullets just now, so we had to return—" Xu Xiu still couldn't finish it, what a pity .

"We killed about 20 Southwest African cavalrymen, and the remaining dozen cavalrymen fled towards Kongra. Major Mike did not arrange to pursue them, but was cleaning the battlefield." Ethan was very young, no more than [-] years old at most, but he had superhuman strength. The calmness of peers.

The children of the poor are already in charge of their families. Young people in Nyasaland are very mature, including those who have just immigrated. They know exactly what they should do.

Major Mike was the security officer of Viscount Gladstone, but he was not appointed by the federal government, but sent by the British War Department.

"You two? Three hundred cavalry?" Viscount Gladstone finally had a clear understanding of the power of the plane.

"Maybe it's more than that. Time is running out, and we don't have detailed statistics." Ethan answered honestly.

That's right, although Viscount Gladstone was surprised, Roque was not surprised at all.

Aircraft have just appeared in this era, not to mention the cavalry troops in Southwest Africa, and even Nyasaland's troops have not yet begun training for air strikes.

Therefore, when the cavalry in Southwest Africa dived in the face of the "strong wind", they probably stayed in place stupidly, neither knowing to avoid nor counterattack, and could only be slaughtered.

"This is still the case where there is no bomb. If there is a bomb, there is no need to be so troublesome. Just drop a bomb. Boom, everyone in a place as large as our convoy will die." Rock made a random comparison, and Gladstone The viscount immediately shuddered.

Rock and Viscount Gladstone traveled together, and the accompanying troops consisted of almost two companies and about forty or fifty armored vehicles.

Now the ring formation formed by these armored vehicles is almost half the size of a football field. If such a large area is to be destroyed, a [-]kg aerial bomb will be enough.

Fifty kilograms of aerial bombs are different from fifty kilograms of explosives, but the principle is actually the same. The offensiveness of bombs is not based on fragments, but mainly on shock waves. This also means that once the bomb is dropped, everyone within the killing radius will be killed. die.

"Is the power of the plane really so great—" Viscount Gladstone was out of his mind, and couldn't care less about the loss of the pioneering team.

But Rock couldn't ignore it. The relevant statistics had come out at this moment. In the three-hour battle, 120 of the 67-member pioneering team died, and the rest were all injured.

In fact, most of the dead were African workers, and not many real whites and Chinese died, but this already made Rock angry enough.

The identities of those horse bandits were also confirmed, and they were indeed German Southwest African cavalry.

Perhaps because they have the chance to win, these Southwest African cavalry don't have much camouflage, and many of them still wear the uniforms of Southwest African cavalry under their coats, which left enough evidence for Rock.

Relatively speaking, the Germans suffered even greater losses. On the land of southern Africa on the banks of the Kwando River alone, nearly [-] German cavalry corpses were left, and nearly [-] corpses were scattered across the river. As for those who crossed the river I don't know how many German cavalry were shot to death, or fell into the water and disappeared.

"Lock, leave this issue to me, and I will give you a satisfactory answer." Viscount Gladstone finally found the entry point. This kind of political negotiation is what Viscount Gladstone is best at. In fact, Viscount Gladstone is an outsider.

"My lord, we lost 67 people, and all the remaining pioneers were injured. They are all our heroes and must be treated as they should be." Rock reminded Viscount Gladstone that the Germans should not be easily let go.

Of course, Roque's agreement to let Viscount Gladstone contact the Germans does not mean that Roque will give up revenge on the Germans. The two aspects do not conflict, but complement each other.

"I understand that everyone in our southern Africa is precious, and their sacrifices will not be in vain." Viscount Gladstone was also in a turbulent mood at this time, and his eyes were on Xu Xiu and Ethan when he spoke.

Although Rock wanted to send the wounded back to Nyasaland as quickly as possible, the wounded could not withstand the bumps along the way, so the team's accompanying medical team immediately started emergency rescue.

Even so, six seriously wounded died of their injuries by the evening.

Rock was not in a hurry to return to Nyasaland. At night, the guards lit a bonfire. Rock and Viscount Gladstone sat around the fire with a cup of coffee and chatted around the blanket.

"If war breaks out, then Southern Africa can take Southwest Africa and Tanganyika in the shortest possible time, cut off Southwest Africa and Tanganyika's support to Germany, and if necessary, Southern Africa can also send troops to Europe Participate in the war, but that must be after the occupation of Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, and Africa is really a bit chaotic now—" Rock made no secret of his hatred for the Germans, which is the consciousness of a British nobleman.

"Of course, I believe in the strength of southern Africa, but when the time comes, it will depend on the needs of the empire—" Viscount Gladstone said a little cryptically.

However, Rock immediately realized that Britain probably did not want to see Southern Africa easily acquire Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, because Southern Africa would be too big.

The tail is too big to fall off!
