Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 894 ​​Efficient

Medals are not only honors, but also tangible benefits.

The military medals in southern Africa are all made of gold. The heroic medal weighs more than [-] grams. The shield-shaped medal is composed of the national emblem and a ribbon. Below the national emblem is the English word of hero. The time when the medal was issued and the name of the recipient are engraved on the back .

In addition to the gold itself, winners of the Medal of Heroes can also get a lifetime bonus of ten rand every month. After the winner retires, if he does business, he will receive tax relief. Under the same conditions, his children will be awarded by Niassa Orlando University and the Army Academy give priority to admission, and they will also be taken care of by the federal governments at all levels when they are working.

With the current income level of southern African families, the winners of the Medal of Heroes, even if they retire now, can guarantee that their personal income can be included in the middle class level of southern Africa.

"Fight hard Lieutenant Steve, I look forward to more news of your victory." Rock gently encouraged, Lieutenant Steve is not more than 25 years old, and Rock hopes that there will be a Simon and Vasily in southern Africa. Legendary level sniper.

Second Lieutenant Steve didn't speak, his flushed face was full of emotions. Even if Steve were to charge to the German positions alone at this time, Steve would probably go through fire and water.

The spiritual symbol of a country is inseparable from the shaping of heroism, and the same is true for southern Africa. In southern Africa, southern Africa is invincible, and it is difficult for the army to meet real challenges. Up to now, there has not been a phenomenon-level hero.

The world war is the best opportunity to shape heroes. In the propaganda of the Allied Powers, the Allies are an evil military group. Nothing can unite people's hearts better than the story of a hero fighting against an evil group.

The sergeant major who killed 14 German troops by himself in the Battle of the Marne before was an African, which is not suitable for publicity as a hero, and the brave sergeant major has already died in the battle, so he cannot play a sufficient role in publicity.

Compared with the tragic sergeant major, Second Lieutenant Steve has a better image and can better represent the image of southern Africa. He is very suitable as a typical character and plays a positive role in Europe.

In southern Africa, the military's propaganda targets must be mainly Chinese soldiers. Among the six people who won the Hero Medal this time, except for Steve, the other five are all Chinese.

"Wang Yin also performed well in the previous battles. The position he was in was the key attack target of the German army. Wang Yin emptied 60 boxes of bullets in four hours, and four of the barrels were scrapped. He died under his gun." The number of Germans is roughly estimated to be more than [-]—" Don Juan continued to introduce, the score of [-] is estimated to be watery, but no one cares, the army needs heroes, southern Africa needs heroes, and the entire Allied Powers camp needs heroes. No one Care about the accuracy of the data.

"Great job sergeant major, I'm proud of you, and your family will be proud of you." Rock didn't care about the details, and while buckling the medal on Wang Yin's neckline, Rock noticed Wang Yin's seniority badge: "You have served for six years, and you are still a sergeant major. You have to work hard—"

The treatment of a sergeant major is actually no less than that of a low-level officer at the second lieutenant level. Although the commanders of many companies are company commanders, they are actually sergeant majors as the core. Only senior veterans are eligible to serve as sergeant majors. It is a second lieutenant company commander, but it is impossible to serve as a sergeant major.

"My lord, I can't learn English, no matter how I try to learn it—" Wang Yin's face was serious. Language is indeed a big problem. If you don't understand the language, you can become a sergeant major, but it is difficult to continue to be promoted.

"Don't jump to conclusions. What do you mean you can't learn it? You have learned a word every day for six years in the military, and you are already proficient in English. Next, you have to return to China to give a report. It is not enough to only know Chinese." Rock has a package of publicity plans , the next few winners of the Medal of Heroes will return to southern Africa to make a tour report, and they will all become part of the public opinion propaganda in southern Africa.

After awarding honors to all the meritorious officers and men, Rock went to the positions of the 11th Division and the 202nd Division for a circle before returning to Ypres.

Not surprisingly, Rock's decision to order the divisions to restore their organizational system and withdraw to the rear for rest caused collective opposition from the British and French allied forces. In the face of the enemy, every combat power is extremely precious, and the remnants of the eight divisions still exceed 5. , which is very important for the British and French allied forces.

"I know that every combat power is extremely precious, so I ordered the troops to retreat and rest. I guarantee that when next spring comes, at least seventeen integrated divisions will return to the front line. Before that, the troops will not be able to continue fighting." Rock's attitude was firm, and the seventeen divisions were in addition to the current eleven divisions, plus six artillery divisions.

According to the establishment in southern Africa, the total strength of the 30 divisions will exceed [-], which will become a powerful supplement to the British and French coalition forces. At that time, Roque will also have enough voice.

"Marshal Locke, we will have more troops coming next spring. The most important thing now is to withstand the German offensive. We must limit the war to Belgium, so as to ensure the full mobilization of France." Frenzi is also very happy Helpless, before Southern Africa sent troops to France, the Ministry of War promised Southern Africa that it would give the Southern African army full autonomy, otherwise Frenzi would not be so easy to talk about.

Frenzi's meaning is also very clear. By next spring, the reserve troops of the British and French allied forces can be replenished. There are nearly one million troops in the UK for training, and France is also recruiting more recruits, so the key is to enter the winter. At the previous stage, the British and French allied forces participated in the Battle of Ypres with more than 40 troops, and the total strength of the German army on the opposite side was about 45, and the German army continued to increase its troops. If Roque withdrew another 5 people, the British and French The weakness of the coalition forces will be more obvious.

"With our current strength, it is more than enough to defend Ypres. We suffered heavy casualties in the early stage. If the troop numbers are canceled one after another, what will the recruits who have just joined the army think? What will those who have not yet joined the army think?" Rock is also afraid, and the south African newspapers dare not publish the casualties of the Southern African Expeditionary Force at all. Compared with the British and French allied forces, the southern African troops fought really badly.

In the first month of the outbreak of the World War, the British Expeditionary Force joined the battle relatively late, with few casualties. The French army suffered a total of 26 casualties, of which 7.5 were killed.

It has been a little over a month since the Southern African Expeditionary Force arrived in France to participate in the war. The Southern African Expeditionary Force suffered 11.4 casualties and 8.6 were killed in battle.

Even if Martin had Roque's instructions, the death rate is too high.

Frenzi did not speak, and he also knew that the Southern African Expeditionary Force suffered heavy casualties, but the current situation is like this. If the troops in Southern Africa are not consumed, then the troops of the British Expeditionary Force will be consumed. In this comparison, Frenzi still hopes that the Southern African Expeditionary Force will African soldiers die.

Of course, this is absolutely unacceptable, it is too disharmonious.

"Even if the remnants of these eight divisions are withdrawn, the current three divisions will be able to take over without affecting the integrity of the defense line." Rock assured Ferenzi that the combat effectiveness of the second cavalry division and the eleventh division is still Assured, the 11nd Division is actually not bad. The Honor Fort troops are always in a state of preparation for war, and they are not temporary recruits.

Although the predecessor of the 11th Division was an engineering unit composed of conscripts, its combat effectiveness can still be trusted. After all, the engineering unit is an army first. If you compare it in detail, the civil engineering work of the 11th Division is better than that of the Second Cavalry Division. Now the war has entered In the stalemate stage, the role of the tunnel became more and more obvious. The 11th Division may have almost used it in the offense, but the defense was no problem. After all, the German army itself had problems.

Of the six German armies at Ypres, four were formed just after the outbreak of the World War.

"Well, if you insist - get your troops ready, we will organize a counter-offensive before winter arrives to see if we can break through the German defenses and push the front to Brussels." Frenzi said to Brussels I can't forget that winter is actually not impossible to attack. The Western Front is not the cold Eastern Front, and the war will continue forever.

"Don't try to attack anymore. We don't have enough troops now. Even if we capture the enemy's position, we won't be able to defend it. Waiting for reinforcements is the only thing we can do." Rock firmly disagrees with the attack. If Ferenzi insists on attacking, Then Roque has the power to order the troops in southern Africa not to participate.

"Marshal Locke, attack is our only way out!" Ferenzi roared, if Martin was the commander of the expeditionary force, Ferenzi could give Martin orders directly, but it wouldn't work for Rock. Follow the right order.

"Steady defense and consuming the enemy is our only way out. Attacking is irresponsible to the soldiers. Neither you nor I are butchers. I will never exchange the blood of soldiers for the so-called victory!" Rock's voice was not weak at all. , Frenzi's adjutant and Sidney Milner are a little embarrassed, they have no right to intervene.

However, the atmosphere was indeed very tense. Ferenzi was panting like a cow, and Roque confronted each other. Even if the lawsuit hit George V, Roque would not be afraid. The casualty data was displayed at a glance. If you really want to be afraid of fighting, the casualties cannot be so heavy. .

In fact, even if Rock insisted not to attack, the Southern African Expeditionary Force with the Second Cavalry Division as the core was not idle. Unlike the defense of the British and French allied forces, the defense of the Second Cavalry Division was very aggressive. Opposite the Second Cavalry Division The 78th Division of the German Army was very uncomfortable. Their sentries and artillery observers were often accurately sniped by the precise shooters of the Second Cavalry Division. There were 15 casualties on October 130 alone.

Unlike the Anglo-French coalition forces that have not paid much attention to the role of snipers, the sniper tactics in southern Africa are various. The precision shooters are best at injuring an enemy in an open area, and then sniping rescuers. In a village in Bokai In addition, a precision shooter from the Second Cavalry Division killed 17 German soldiers at one time.

Only 21 rounds were used.
