Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 882 Personality Split

The pilot who led the team to the UK to participate in the war was Colonel Ethan. The three pilots who flew to France to fly over the English Channel. Lin Chengzhi is now the chief instructor of the flight academy. Sang is the captain of the First Brigade of the Second Air Division.

The organization of the Southern African Air Force is different from that of European countries. In fact, the organization of all countries is different now. The German Air Force uses airships, and it doesn’t matter whether it is an organization or not; The squadron is composed of [-] aircraft, and the single-seat aircraft squadron is composed of [-] aircraft; the basic tactical unit of the British Air Force is the squadron, each squadron is composed of [-] squadrons, and each squadron is composed of [-] aircraft. trip.

The air force in Southern Africa is more complicated because of the different tasks to be undertaken. The aircraft in Southern Africa can be divided into reconnaissance aircraft for aerial reconnaissance, fighter jets for seizing air supremacy, ground attack aircraft for front-line support, and aircraft used for air reconnaissance. A bomber unit that conducts strategic bombing in the enemy's rear.

In addition to this, the navy also has naval torpedo planes and bombers for assaulting enemy ships.

As far as the fighter force alone is concerned, the fighter jets in Southern Africa are based on squads of six aircraft. This is because the tactics used by the Southern African Air Force is the "great circle formation". The aircraft in the formation are not on the same plane to form a defense At the same time, a more favorable attacking position can be obtained by circling and climbing. This tactic has a famous name in another time and space called "Laverbury's Great Circle", and it was very popular until the middle of the twentieth century.

Of course, in the United Kingdom, pilots in southern Africa do not need to use the "Laverbury Great Circle" tactic. The current air forces of various countries do not have the awareness of tactics, or even the concept of air force confrontation. Pilots in southern Africa only need to use the most advanced tactics. A basic two-aircraft formation can easily deal with Zeppelin airships.

As well as pilots, Kitchener also wants southern Africa to send more doctors to the UK.

"The situation in France is very bad. In the first month of the war, France lost 26 people, of which 7.5 were killed. If there were more doctors, more people would survive. If this situation continues, then it may not be possible for France to survive until the end of the year." Roque called Abu from Xuanji City. Abu had the opportunity to serve as the Minister of Health of the federal government before, but Abu did not agree. He was unwilling to leave Niassa Lanzhou University, even a minister will not do it.

Before the outbreak of the World War, France had 76 troops.

Within a month of the outbreak of the World War, France mobilized 180 million people to join the army. The mobilization ability made Britain ashamed, but referring to the war damage in August, these more than 200 million people could not last long.

Normally, a troop would be on the verge of collapse if it lost one-tenth of the troops. Those bloody battles where even cooks and health workers took up arms and went to the battlefield were examples that were remembered by history precisely because they were too few and too miserable.

During the World War, Germany mobilized a total of 1100 million people to participate in the war, accounting for 16.95% of the total population of Germany. When Germany surrendered, there were at least 350 million soldiers in Germany.

"There are 650 students in the medical school, plus 800 faculty members, and 130 people can be sent to France." The medical school that Abu said is the medical school of Nyasaland University, excluding the Johannesburg medical school.

"Why not 800?" Rock was not as conservative as Abramovich.

"The figure of 800 includes freshmen who have just entered school. They are not real doctors yet. These 130 people will graduate next year. They are actually going to practice this year, and they are not real doctors." Abu thinks that he has gone too far. Thinking of Rock's bottom line is even lower.

"Send them all to France. Wouldn't it be better to teach on-site in the hospital?" Roque doesn't care if they are freshmen or not. Nyasaland University subsidizes students every year, treating freshmen as doctors and sending them to France. The French government has to bear the burden Cost, such a good thing doesn't happen often.

"They don't have the qualifications to practice medicine yet—" Abu was dumbfounded, but it seemed feasible after thinking about it.

"So what? France needs more doctors. Wounded soldiers can't get help in the hospital and can only cry and wait to die. Medical students, even if their grades are poor, simple hemostasis and sutures will always be there. What better place than now Can France provide more teaching examples?" Rock has a headache, and Abramovich has a certain level, but he is too rigid and doesn't know how to adapt it.

To put it simply, it is a basic operation for medical students to practice suturing. This is done step by step. First, they sew pork, then mice, and slowly begin to sew people.

In France now, there are wounded soldiers everywhere, and there is no effective treatment at all. Those cold numbers in the history books are reflected in the reality, which is one tragedy after another. Soldiers who are crying in pain will care about the doctor who sewed their wounds. newbie?Do you care if the stitches are not perfect enough to leave scars?

Not at all, for soldiers, scars are military medals, as long as they can survive, they can be treated as dung beetles, let alone pork seams.

"Okay then, I'll prepare when I go back." Abu is not completely ignorant. The level of field medical treatment in southern Africa has improved rapidly only through the training of the Russo-Japanese War and the Italian-Turkish War. The war can make those novice students the fastest. The speed is mature, not only Nyasaland University School of Medicine, Roque is also planning to send all the students of Johannesburg School of Medicine to France, leaving no one behind.

"Doctors who go to France to support can enjoy the treatment of military officers. In addition to the basic salary, they also have field allowances and overseas allowances every month. After going to France to work for three or four years, they can buy a farm after earning money. The money is enough to buy a house in Los Angeles, and you can finish your studies to become a qualified doctor, what better choice is there?" Rock is firm, doctors are always respected In the battlefield, soldiers are cannon fodder, but doctors are not. Even if they are captured, the enemy will eat and drink for them.

Not only is there a shortage of doctors in France, but also in Germany.

On September [-]th, [-] teachers and students from Nyasaland University School of Medicine and Johannesburg School of Medicine went to France to join the war. They boarded the "George" and "Victoria" medical ships produced in southern Africa in Walvis Bay. , and went to France with six [-]-ton giant ships filled with various supplies, and the battlecruiser "Indomitable" was escorting this fleet.

This was the first time that the British used battlecruisers to escort a fleet in southern Africa.

Escorting the fleet with the battlecruiser "Indomitable" are two light cruisers from Southern Africa and four destroyers of the Walvis Bay Fleet.

Rock would be mad if either the George or the Victoria were sunk by a German U-boat.

Also on September [-]th, the Southern African Expeditionary Force that had arrived in Paris finally entered a fighting state.

Since the Battle of the Marne broke out on September [-]th, the battle has been extremely fierce. The outcome depends on whether the German army can break through the defense of the French defenders on the right flank, or who can defeat their opponents between the German First Army and the French Sixth Army. .

In the previous battle, the German army progressed smoothly. Colonel Robert Nivelle of the Sixth Army rescued the French army. He ordered the troops to drag the artillery to the front line to fight the German attacking army with bayonets. Behind them was the French army in Paris. Courage, with tenacious will, repelled the Germans.

On the [-]th, the battle became more and more fierce, and the First Army could not completely defeat the Sixth Army. Crook finally realized that the distance between the First Army and the Second Army was too far, and the flanks of the First Army lost their protection, so he dispatched Grom The general led an army in an attempt to fill the gap between the first and second armies.

The defenders of this blank area are the three divisions of Southern Africa.

After Martin arrived in Paris, he adjusted the defense of the troops. The 201st and 301st were responsible for the frontal defense, and the 105th Division was used as a reserve team with a total strength of 4.2.

Grom's army consisted of two divisions plus an artillery brigade, with a total strength of nearly 4 troops.

As the commander-in-chief of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, Martin lived in the castle in Paris, next door to the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force Frenzi.

"France hopes that we can launch an attack on the flank of the First Army, contain the strength of the First Army, and reduce the pressure on the Sixth Army. Your troops must be prepared, and orders may be issued at any time." Frenzi not only looked down on France The general also looked down on Martin, the Marshal of Southern Africa.

During the Second Boer War, Frenzi was already a major general in the British Expeditionary Force, and was promoted to lieutenant general during the war, while Martin was a member of the commandos of the Cape Town Police.

It's a good thing that Martin didn't come to France in the marshal's uniform, otherwise Frenzi's attitude would be even worse.

"Marshal, my troops lack sufficient artillery, and until there is sufficient artillery support, an attack on the flank of the First Army will suffer heavy losses." Martin agreed to attack, but artillery support was needed, and Kitchener organized more after returning home. The expeditionary force was reinforced by troops, and Ferenzi now had twelve divisions.

Excluding the three divisions led by Martin.

"All the troops suffered heavy losses. The Sixth Army lost 2.1 people yesterday. They also lacked artillery support, but they had to continue fighting the Germans." Frenzi was impatient, and he was under a lot of pressure now. Renzi has the greatest trust, and Ferenzi needs to repay Kitchener with a record.

What makes people speechless is that while Ferenzi was the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, his sister organized anti-war demonstrations in London. The British have such split personalities.

"An artillery brigade!" Martin was unmoved. He was not appointed by the British War Department as a marshal, but was ordered by the Southern African War Department. Give orders to the Expeditionary Force in Southern Africa.
