Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 944

In 330 A.D., the Roman Emperor Constantine I established a new capital in Byzantium and named it New Rome. According to the European naming habits of cities, more people called the city Constantinople.

From the middle of the 4th century AD to the beginning of the 13th century AD, Constantinople was the largest and most prosperous city in Europe.

After the Industrial Revolution, other European cities gradually emerged, and Constantinople gradually declined. However, with the accumulation of nearly 1600 years, Constantinople can be said to be the city with the longest history and the deepest heritage in Europe.

There are a lot of gorgeous buildings in Constantinople, gorgeous churches and luxurious mansions abound. These buildings are tall and strong, and the most common material is marble, which can provide good defense for the defenders, so the efficiency of the offensive troops is albeit High, but not fast, the Muscat pirates captured a block only an hour after the fighting started.

A block at the very edge of this sprawling city.

Even if it's just a block, the harvest is already rich enough.

When Hank entered a house on the street, a battle had just ended. The well-dressed old butler was lying at the door, with a shocking pool of blood beside him. Next to him was a corpse wrapped in a white cloth. This was the sacrificial horse. A soldier of the Skater Pirates.

The living room was in a mess, the furniture was in disarray, the chairs were still on the coffee table in the living room, the carpet was ignited, and more than half of it was burned, the glass on the clock by the wall was broken, there were several obvious bullet holes on an oil painting on the wall, and there was a person at the door The tall vase was also shattered, and Hank picked up a shard with an azure square seal on it.

Hanke doesn't know Chinese characters, but he knows that porcelain with Chinese characters is generally more expensive.

A few satisfied soldiers walked down the wooden stairs, talking and laughing. Their backpacks had become bulging, and a corporal's clothes were a little messy. Hank raised his hand and called him over.

"No, no, no, I didn't touch anyone. This is because my pants were hung on the fence when I climbed over the wall. I didn't mean to—" The corporal strongly denied that the Muscat Pirates did not prohibit looting, but violations were strictly prohibited. women.

Looting property is a part of the war. The expeditionary army does not say that it does not take the people’s needles and threads. The spoils seized during the battle are the biggest source of income for the officers and soldiers. In the past, many people would rather be mercenaries without salary because The spoils of war during the battle far outweigh the salary.

Compared with plundering property, assaulting women is a felony in the expeditionary force, and saving women who have lost their feet is not advocated. This era lacks effective protective measures. In the British Expeditionary Force in Belgium, 1000 out of every 80 people suffered from sexually transmitted diseases. The prevalence rate is higher, and the French army's infection rate is similar to that of the British army.

Relatively speaking, the southern African expeditionary force is much better in this regard. This is not because the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force are so clean, but because of the repeated orders of the expeditionary force headquarters. If someone in the expeditionary force is infected with sexually transmitted diseases, they will be sent to Back to southern Africa, throw it to Shark Island not far from Whale Bay to fend for itself.

In 1904, the Herero people in German Southwest Africa rebelled. The Germans killed 200 Herero people, leaving only 200 people, and imprisoned all [-] people on Shark Island. As a result, a year later, these people All died of tuberculosis.

So in the Southern African Expeditionary Force, no one really dared to make trouble. It’s okay to make a small fortune during the battle, but if you can’t control the three routes, you will die.

"Mr. Captain, I picked up a pocket watch just now. I picked it up on the street—" The sergeant was more discerning, and he took out a pocket watch from his pocket and handed it to Hank with a wink.

The golden dial is studded with diamonds, such a pocket watch is not something you can pick up casually.

But during the war, such things were really everywhere.

The backpacks of several soldiers did not know what was in them, and there was a rattling sound when they walked around, which would definitely affect the battle.

"I have to remind you that if you die in battle, these things will become other people's trophies—" Hank did not stop this behavior, but there are still some reminders, think about the corpse wrapped in white cloth at the door, if you are careful, It could have all been avoided.

"We'll go to the quartermaster later." The sergeant was reluctant to give up his backpack. With such a small backpack, if you farm in southern Africa, you may not be able to earn it all your life.

"What the hell are you going to the quartermaster, will the battle still be fought?" Hank felt his head hurting. Those guys who want money and don't care about their lives will be shot if they strictly enforce the military law.

Several soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. They were obviously dazzled by the glittering trophies just now, and they had completely forgotten about military discipline.

It was the sergeant who had a clever head, and he pulled a curtain casually, dumped all the contents of the backpack on the curtain, then tore off the military badge around his neck, and tied the curtain again.

This is a good way. Hank glanced at it just now, and the things that the sergeant poured out are basically all kinds of gold, and there are more than a dozen rings of all kinds. I don’t know how many were robbed along the way. Home, the battle has just begun.

"Be careful, save some for other brothers, don't look too ugly." Hanke reminded the soldiers not to eat alone, and the officers and soldiers of the follow-up troops also wanted to make a fortune.

In terms of loot, the forward troops must have gained the most, but the forward troops faced greater dangers. By the time the follow-up troops entered the city, the remnants in the city had been wiped out, and there was plenty of time to slowly search.

That's right, it is "searching". The Germans did this in Belgium and France, the British and French allied forces did the same in Belgium, and the Southern African Expeditionary Force did the same in Constantinople. Why are European countries so keen on waging war? A war is a wealth transfer of the whole society. The Ottomans accumulated 600 years in Constantinople, enough to feed every officer and soldier of the Second Cavalry Division.

In the Balkans and Asia Minor, there were many more Ottoman cities waiting to be conquered by the Mediterranean expeditionary forces.

After a small storm, the battle continued. Dozens of remnants of the Ottoman army were standing in a tall and beautiful church. The attacking force made two attempts, three soldiers died, and five soldiers were injured.

"Big Cowboy——" Hank called over the soldiers equipped with super revolvers. "Big Cowboy" was the nickname given to super revolvers by southern African soldiers. This nickname fully reflected the love for super revolvers among southern African soldiers.

The super revolver is an enlarged version of the grenade launcher. The principle is the same as that of the revolver, but instead of bullets, it fires standard 40mm grenades.

Two soldiers equipped with super revolvers ran over immediately, and a priest wearing a robe next to him looked anxious: "Sir, there are civilians in the church, please try to protect them—"

The priest is not stupid, so he just "try to", not "must".

"The defenders are Ottomans, right?" Hank asked the priest.

"Yes!" The priest's expression was bleak.

"The civilians are also Ottomans, right?"

"Yes!"

"You fucking Ottomans don't care about the lives of Ottomans, let me be an American to protect?" Hank blurted out.

"When did the United States join the war?" The priest's expression was extremely cute.

"Just now!" Hank was annoyed. He had already joined the southern African nationality, and subconsciously he had not yet become a real southern African.

Using the cover of the stone ladder at the entrance of the church, two soldiers continuously pulled the trigger into the church.

Violent explosions continued one after another, with screams and pleadings one after another. Two soldiers who knocked out the "big cowboy" threw several offensive grenades into the church. After several explosions, the soldiers rushed in, and then a series of The bah bah bah and hoo hoo hoo.

"God Almighty Father, you are the source of life, you have saved us through the Son Jesus, please take care of--" When the soldiers poured into the church, the priest knelt at the door and prayed, but it was of no use. Troops and defenses are fighting to the death in every corner of the city, and churches have become battlefields.

On the first day of the invasion of Constantinople, the Second Cavalry Division captured a small half of the city. When dusk fell, the battle line basically stabilized.

In order to prevent the defenders from counterattacking overnight, the Second Cavalry Division lit a bonfire on the street. Exquisite furniture and books that were easier to ignite were used as fuel. The whole city was clearly divided, with a raging fire in the middle, and the cities on both sides were shrouded in darkness. .

After dark, the Second Cavalry Division pushed back to rest, and the front-line defensive troops were replaced by the 11th Division, the old partner of the Second Cavalry Division. The 11th Division drove armored vehicles onto the streets to assist in defense. Weak, but it can still be used to defend against long-range rifle bullets.

At three o'clock in the morning on the 16th, in the attic of a house on the street, lieutenant company commander Ruiz of the Second Infantry Regiment in Los Angeles and second lieutenant platoon leader Wilson were resting. The company led by Ruiz was in charge of a block about 150 meters long , almost 1.1m soldiers.

"Why don't you sleep for a while, tomorrow we will be the main attack, and we need to keep enough energy—" Wilson is taking stock of his gains. Although the 11th Division entered Constantinople relatively late, the officers and soldiers still gained a lot. Ersen found a crystal glass from a half-collapsed house and decided to drink from it.

"You still send the cup back, maybe some king used it--" Ruiz also gained something. He found two beautifully crafted and historic flintlock guns in an old house, which were used to decorate the room. Although the flintlock gun is relatively heavy and the cost of sending it back to southern Africa is relatively high, Ruiz still wants to send the flintlock gun back and decided to hang it in the study of his home in Los Angeles.

Wilson hadn't spoken yet, suddenly there seemed to be some movement in the ruins across the street.

Then Ruiz saw an Ottoman woman in a robe appearing on the opposite side of the ruins.

The woman's clothes were a bit bloated, and she staggered on the ruins. She didn't wear shoes on her feet and had been scratched. The footprints behind her were all blood red.

Before Ruiz opened his mouth to ask, there was a sudden violent explosion not far away.

Looking at the staggering bloated woman again, her face was full of ferocity.
