Never underestimate women, especially Russian women.
In southern Africa, women are not allowed to appear on the front lines of combat. Even nurses in front-line troops are male, and even military dogs are male.
Russian women can join the army. The sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenko, known as the "Goddess of Death," has killed at least more than 300 enemies. She is also a Ukrainian and was awarded the National Hero Medal. Russia even issued a commemorative commemoration for her.
stamp.
Female nurses in field hospitals are also used to seeing life and death. It is too easy to kill a person who has no ability to resist. There is no movement at all. It was not until the doctor made his rounds that he discovered that Shukhevich was dead.
"Dead?" Arthur wasn't too surprised when he heard the news. If he was dead, just die, so as not to make the British worry about him.
The British are still very realistic. Smollett left Cyprus on the same day after learning about Shukhevich's death, and he also had no regrets.
Of course, there is no doubt that the southern African side deliberately killed Shukhevich in order not to hand him over to the British.
There is absolutely no need to do this.
"Yes, the cause of death seems unusual. The hospital is investigating the real cause of Shukhevich's death." Chen Xiao was not satisfied, not because of Shukhevich's death, but because of flaws in the work of the field hospital.
Shukhevich's death was indeed not a pity, but he couldn't die in such an unclear manner. What if it was a senior general in southern Africa?
Arthur frowned. Since the cause of death was abnormal, it had something to do with the Russians.
"The results should be kept secret and should not be announced yet." Arthur still pays attention to maintaining alliance relationships.
Cyprus is so close to the Black Sea and has a lot of dealings with the Russians. Arthur is very aware of Russia's ambitions for the Bosporus, and although it is unlikely, there is no need to cause tensions.
In fact, there was nothing to investigate. The doctors at the field hospital were very experienced and could confirm that Shukhevich died from highly toxic potassium cyanide without even dissecting the body.
The key is who did it.
The situation at that time was a bit chaotic. More than a dozen Russian officers participated in the fight, and they were all injured, so the result was a bit serious. Several people had to undergo re-operation, and the injuries became more serious.
The Fifth Group Army Staff Headquarters took the lead in establishing an investigation team. When members of the investigation team questioned the Russian officers involved in the brawl, almost all officers agreed that this was an internal conflict within their Russian army.
The implication is that you don't have to worry about it.
The medical facilities in the field hospital are relatively complete, but not in other aspects. There is not even a surveillance video in the intensive care unit, and the guards' testimony did not provide much effective information.
"So the conclusion is accidental death?" Sun Xiu couldn't accept this result.
"Otherwise? It's impossible for the hospital to admit that there are problems with its own management." Lieutenant Colonel Thomson, the leader of the investigation team, is good at smoothing things over.
The result is not important, what is important is how to imitate such an incident from happening again.
The hospital's attitude is very clear. No matter how great the hatred is, life and death are decided on the battlefield and cannot be brought to a field hospital.
Therefore, the field hospital recommended that a new field hospital be built specifically to treat Russian wounded.
"Doesn't it cost money to build a new field hospital? Just don't treat the Russian wounded at all -" Sun Xiu is in charge of money and has a heavy responsibility.
Doctors only treat diseases and never consider the cost.
Sun Xiu had to consider that if he approved the construction of a new field hospital, staff from Brad's office would come to visit him soon.
Forget it if a hospital is built to treat the wounded in southern Africa.
What do you think of the funding of the Southern African Ministry of Defense when building a field hospital to treat Russian wounded? Do you work for the Southern African Ministry of Defense or do you work for Russia?
"If you didn't go there, you wouldn't know that 80% of the wounded in our field hospitals are Russians." Thomson didn't know the situation before, but now he has more opinions.
The medical level in southern Africa is relatively advanced, and front-line troops also have field doctors and medical soldiers. Generally, minor situations can be dealt with easily and there is no need to send them to the hospital.
If the injury is serious, he will not stay in the field hospital for too long. After a simple operation, he will be sent to Cyprus to recuperate or receive further treatment.
The situation in Russia is a bit bad. It is winter now, and Budapest is a bit far away from Russia. The conditions of domestic hospitals in Russia may not be as good as those of field hospitals. In addition, the fighting situation in Pest is relatively fierce, so the wounded are
More.
"In less than two months, the medical expenses that Russia owes us have reached close to 10 million rand." Sun Xiu's expression was still a little secretive. The price is probably relatively high.
Treatment in field hospitals for soldiers in southern Africa is free, with the Ministry of Defense footing the bill.
There is no money in Russia, and even if they have money, they will probably cheat. Therefore, when the hospital treats Russian wounded, the cost control is relatively strict.
For example, if you don't need anesthetics, don't use them. Anyway, Russians have thick nerves and can tolerate it.
Of course, what cannot be saved will not be saved. For example, this leg does not seem to be of much use, so just cut it off. This will definitely not happen to the Russian wounded.
In this way, the comparison is obvious.
In some serious cases, most of them can be cut off directly in Russia, but can be saved in southern Africa.
It's not that Russia is reluctant to spend money, but the situation really doesn't allow it. Part of the situation is that the technical level is not good, and part of the situation is that Russia's medical resources are insufficient, the number of doctors is not enough, and there are not many resources evenly distributed to each Russian officer and soldier.
.
Therefore, even if no anesthesia was used during the operation, those Russian officers and soldiers who saved their limbs due to the superb medical skills of the southern African doctors are very grateful to the field hospital.
"Who should I pay this debt to?" Thomson was curious. He had never heard of such a thing before.
That's for sure.
When the Ministry of National Defense of Southern Africa issued a war report, it also said that if this kind of thing was made public, the budget committee, which is worried about money all day long, would have something to say.
In the past few years since the world war, the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa has had to increase its budget several times every year, and the accumulated expenses have reached tens of billions.
No matter how rich Southern Africa is, it cannot afford such an additional increase.
It's okay if you use it all on the expeditionary officers and soldiers. They are all young soldiers, so no matter how much you spend, it's worth it.
What's the point of using it on Russians?
It's the bearded man's responsibility to take care of the Russians.
"If you can't repay it, it's probably dead -" Sun Xiu spread his hands. He had no choice about this matter. It was not under his control. He could only control and spend as little as possible.
Those who are really in charge don’t care about these things.
A living Shukhovich would be of value to Britain.
Dead Shukhevich would have been valuable to southern Africa.
It is said that debts are wiped out after death, but it was not so easy for Shukhevich.
The lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians were wiped out at your request. Why are you so embarrassed?
The Southern African propaganda department is not a vegetarian. It has long noticed the atrocities committed by the Ukrainian rebels. As soon as Shukhevich was captured, the propaganda department was ready to start a new round of political propaganda. Unfortunately, Shukhevich died too quickly and there was still time for the plan here.
Perfect, Shukhevich will die.
Although the person died, the work of the propaganda department did not stop.
If the person is still alive, then the propaganda department will have to fight for a fund to conduct fact-finding in order to seek truth from facts.
Now that the person is dead, the writers of the propaganda department can freely express themselves, and there is no need to add fuel or jealousy. Just telling what the Ukrainian rebels have done is enough to make people and gods angry.
We still have to be selective about this, and some methods that are too cruel must be skipped so as not to cause psychological discomfort to the public.
On December 24, the day before Christmas, the "Pretoria Daily News" published a news about the Ukrainian rebels on the second page.
It can't be on the front page. It's Christmas and it can't be a nuisance to readers. The front page has to be reserved for Rock's Christmas message. This is also the custom.
Speaking of which, in southern Africa, traditional Western festivals such as Christmas Eve receive far less attention than traditional Chinese festivals such as Spring Festival and Double Ninth Festival.
It hardly snows in Pretoria, which lacks some festive atmosphere for Europeans who are used to ice and snow.
However, the people of Pretoria have a magical advantage. They can be happy no matter what the day is, so the festive atmosphere is still good.
In the early morning, Ninis, who works in a trading company, got up early and took the shuttle bus to start his day's work.
Ninis is a Slav from the Balkans. He came to Southern Africa with his family last year. He has submitted an application to the Immigration Bureau and is still in the review period.
According to relevant laws and regulations, new immigrants are not allowed to work in Southern Africa while they are still in the inspection period.
During the World War, many people in southern Africa joined the army, and there was a bit of a shortage of local labor. In addition, with the good trade in recent years, more and more manpower was needed, so the immigration office turned a blind eye.
Otherwise, with Nynis’s income level, there is a high probability that he would not be able to settle down in Pretoria.
Ninis is lucky. He can receive a monthly salary of 150 rand from his trading company. This is not much by normal southern African standards, but combined with his wife's income, his life is still manageable.
This is of course thanks to the low-rent apartments provided by the Transvaal State Government for low-income groups.
"Don't your company also have a holiday for Christmas?" An acquaintance on the bus greeted Ninis.
It's just that they look familiar, I don't even know their names. After all, these are the people who take the bus every day. They look familiar every time they go there. Most of the real southern Africans have their own cars and drive to and from get off work.
"Why do you have to take a holiday and triple your salary?" Ninis didn't want to take a break. In fact, working on Christmas Day wouldn't be too busy. His colleagues in Europe also had to take a break on Christmas Day.
"Hello, my name is Giannis -" Giannis reached out his hand, which was considered a formal acquaintance.
"Hello, my name is Ninis -" Ninis responded enthusiastically. New job, new friends, new life, it's great.
After introducing the name, I had to introduce my hometown, so it was a bit awkward. Giannis is a German and Ninis is a Slav. The two new friends are mortal enemies in Europe.
"I'm just from Germany. I've never been there. I was born and raised in Belgium -" Giannis' words effectively alleviated the embarrassment.
That's right, when Germany turned around and headed south, the first country it attacked was Belgium. Many Belgians fled to southern Africa through Saint-Roch.
"What do you do for a living?" Ninis didn't want to talk about Europe, which had too many painful memories.
"Translate, it seems I can only do this -" Giannis does not hide himself. The most important thing for a friend is to be honest.
The two of them chatted all the way. The bus passed by Justice Square. In order to increase the festive atmosphere, the church organized a choir to perform publicly. Many vendors set up stalls around the square. This is usually illegal. Now the patrol police are watching with a smile and don't care.
Those who celebrate the festival should be less fussy.
There were a lot of people in the square, and there were actually people flying kites. A tour group from a certain travel agency was organizing a photo shoot, and the hats of the same color were very conspicuous.
There was a couple feeding pigeons and a mother pushing a baby stroller for a walk. A few roller skaters whizzed by with headphones, startling a large number of pigeons. The couple feeding the pigeons didn't get angry, and the boyfriend even took the opportunity to help take photos.
In the peaceful festive atmosphere, Ninis still noticed the newspaper that the middle-aged man sitting opposite was reading.
The newspaper editor probably did it on purpose. The photo distributed was in black and white. The photo showed a soldier bending down and holding a gun while passing through a street that had been reduced to ruins.
The photos that could be published in newspapers must have been carefully selected. The time seemed to be early in the morning and the backlighting made it difficult to see the soldiers' expressions clearly. The surrounding environment was also a bit complicated. The danger and cruelty of being in the battlefield still came to mind.
Giannis said two words but received no response. He followed Giannis' gaze and was attracted by the photo.
In contrast to the peaceful festive atmosphere outside the bus.
The Great War suddenly feels like it was centuries ago.
"Thank God, I hope there will never be a war in southern Africa." Giannis suddenly sighed.
Only by experiencing war can we understand the value of peace.
The first thing Ninis did when he arrived at the company was to find a newspaper. The company had subscriptions, so he didn’t have to spend money to buy them.
While the Eastern Front was suspended, only the Western Front was still fighting.
No, East Asia is also fighting. The latest battle report shows that the East Asian Allies have launched "Operation Olympics." When Ninis saw this title for the first time, he thought it was a country in East Asia that was going to host the Olympics.
Europeans are relatively familiar with the Olympic Games.
Southern Africans prefer the Friendship Games.
Ninis is from the Balkans, so he is naturally more concerned about the Allies on the Western Front.
On the 23rd, just yesterday, the Russian army launched a fierce attack on Pest again.
The battle is still ongoing, and there are no statistics on losses on both sides, but the battle lines show that the Russian army seems to have made little progress.
Ninis was in a heavy heart. Although he was in Pretoria, he still had relatives in the Balkans.
Ninis was worried about his relatives who stayed in the Balkans, and he didn't know when the war would end.
"Shukhevich is such a bastard, I hate him!" Ninis' colleague Steve suddenly exploded.
