In late October, Ad sent a new deputy director to the Johannesburg Police Department. This deputy director had a somewhat established background and came from the famous British Spencer family.
The new deputy director's name is Harry Spencer. He used to work in India. Because he couldn't stand the environment in India, he took the initiative to apply for transfer from India to southern Africa.
After arriving in southern Africa, Harry Spencer's only request was that there should be no Indians in the working environment. Adé picked it up and down, and it seemed that in the entire Transvaal, only the Johannesburg Police Station had no Indians, so Harry
Spencer became deputy commissioner of the Johannesburg Police Department.
To be honest, when he knew the reason, Roque felt extremely regretful.
If he had known this was the case, Rock would have established another Indian police team, even if it was used as a mascot, it would be great.
Unfortunately, it is too late to regret now. Harry Spencer has accepted the appointment and arrived in Johannesburg to officially take office at the end of October.
"Welcome to Johannesburg, I hope this city can make you feel happy." Although he was reluctant in his heart, Rock still expressed his welcome when he saw Harry Spencer.
Among the leading officials in the Transvaal, Rock was already young enough, and Harry Spencer was younger than Rock.
In Rock's view, Harry Spencer was probably no more than 25 years old, younger than many college students who had just stepped out of school. His hair was a bit sparse, and he habitually raised his chin when looking at people, like a proud man.
Little cock, this action is very noble.
In fact, there is nothing to be proud of. Unlike Roque who obtained the title by virtue of military merit, the Spencer family was one of the richest wool merchants in Europe in the 15th century. Then during the period of Charles I, the Spencer family relied on providing money to King Charles I.
Giving gifts earned him the title of earldom.
Harry Spencer probably didn't have the right to inherit, so he went to work in the colonies, just like Henry before him.
"Thank you, Lord Nyasaland. I've heard a lot about you and I'm glad to work with you." Harry Spencer respected Roark, and at least he didn't say anything unpleasant.
In fact, the British aristocrats are also very polarized. The educated ones are very particular about elegance anytime and anywhere, while the uneducated ones want to write the words "I am an aristocrat" on their faces all the time. Of course, there are relatively few people in the latter group.
Generally speaking, most aristocratic families provide very good education to their children.
"Thank you, just call me Rock." Rock is very casual and doesn't put on airs all the time like some people do.
"Okay Director." Harry Spencer was very smart, not only giving Roark face, but also showing proper respect for Roark.
Rock is very satisfied. At least so far, Rock has not hated Harry Spencer.
This would be a good start.
Harry Spencer's office is at the other end of the corridor. The size of the office is similar to that of Rock. Rock took the initiative to take Harry Spencer to his office and said that if Harry Spencer was not satisfied with the decoration of the office,
Style and office supplies can be adjusted at will.
Harry Spencer has nothing to be dissatisfied with. Of course, whatever he says is fine now, only Harry Spencer knows what he thinks in his heart.
Now that there is a deputy chief, Roark divides the work. The commando team and the detective team are still directly managed by Roark. Harry Spencer is responsible for the daily work of the police station, as well as the Boer policemen who are responsible for patrolling the city.
This arrangement is quite suitable. If Harry Spencer pursues power, then there is room for him to exert it. If Harry Spencer wants to be lazy, then even if Harry Spencer does nothing, it will not affect him.
Normal operations to the police station.
After placing Harry Spencer in place, Rock still goes to Ziwei Town. The newly formed 1st Cavalry Division will conduct its monthly assessment in the next two days.
Just as Rock expected, in the previous training, the eight companies of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, except for the formation, all the results were at the bottom of G Company led by William and Ross.
Not only is the shooting performance poor, but the running speed is not fast enough, and the endurance is not enough. Capture, fighting, and assassination are commonplace. Even the Boers should be the best at equestrian skills. G Company lost to the company led by Geng Biao.
h company.
As for riding skills, it must be admitted that those Zulu people who practice riding skills every day do very well in this aspect.
This is also related to Roque's request. Roque knows very well that the trend of the future army must be mechanization, so the new First Cavalry Division is nominally a cavalry division. In fact, it does not have many horses, and Roque did not ask the troops to carry out too many tasks.
training in this area.
If you have time to connect with riding, it would be better to practice shooting.
On October 30, the monthly assessment was officially conducted. The first thing was the formation, and the last thing was the long-distance training. As expected, G Company won the first place in the formation assessment, and then all passed in the next assessment.
It's the bottom.
After Rock got the shooting results of G Company, he was still in a good mood. At least compared to the last time, G Company had made great progress.
Rock still remembers the first live-fire shooting of Company G. The average score was only 55 points, which was not even a passing grade. This was a Boer who was famous for its shooting skills in the Boer War. As for the results of the British troops, Rock couldn't imagine it.
William and Ross also knew very well that G Company had just been established. It would be impossible to outperform other companies in other projects or even close the distance in a short time, so William and Ross decided to maximize the advantages of G Company.
The project, in addition to formation formation, is shooting.
All the sweat is reflected in the results. Compared with the initial results, G Company obtained an average score of 61 rings this time. Although this has not yet reached the standard of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, it has already reached it.
After the results came out, William and Ross were very happy.
"Not bad. Compared with the beginning, we have made huge progress. If we continue like this, in two months, our results will probably be good." Roque still praised him for his hard work and sweat. There is no intuitive quantitative data for these things.
The results are the most obvious.
"G Company has been working very hard recently. At the beginning, each soldier of G Company had to fire more than a hundred shots a day. As a result, everyone's shoulders were so swollen the next day that they could not accept training. William and Ross were also ruthless people, and their shoulders were swollen.
We can't take a break and continue to train in formation. Their performance in this formation is really good. I think G Company will be the guard of honor." Suo Chao was also in a good mood and directly joked about G Company.
Guns like the Lee Enfield use fully charged bullets, but the recoil is still a bit strong. Rock knew this problem, so he asked the Nyasaland Arsenal to change the full charge to a half charge.
In this way, the power may be slightly affected, but it is a great improvement for the shooter's experience. If it were still in the past, more than 100 shots a day with fully loaded bullets would break the shoulder.
.
William and Ross were very dissatisfied with Suo Chao's words, but they didn't say anything. They haven't really integrated into the new First Cavalry Division yet.
The results of William and Ross have also improved greatly compared with before. Ross seems to be strict with himself. In a short period of time, Ross's results have reached a good level. A score of 88 rings. If it is improved a little more, it will be excellent and he can directly
Become a precision shooter.
William's score has not yet reached the passing level, but his score of 58 rings is vastly different from the original 15 rings.
Rock was also shocked when he saw William's results. Although the score sheet did not indicate whether William missed the target, the score of 15 rings was really too low for a soldier.
Of course, this is for soldiers. For ordinary people, it is still a bit difficult to hit a chest target 100 meters away. Think about how big a person is 100 meters away, and you will know that the chest target is in the shooter's hand.
How big it is in the eyes.
Compared with G Company, the results of several other companies are much better.
The one with the best results was Company A. The average level of the whole company was far above the passing line, reaching an astonishing 85th level. One-third of the soldiers scored more than 90th level. They are all qualified to become precision marksmen.
Being a precision shooter is an honor in the new 1st Cavalry Division. If an ordinary soldier has just joined the new 1st Cavalry Division, he or she will have nothing on the uniform. If you get the qualification as a precision shooter, you can have a scope sewed on your cuff.
If you have received heavy machine gun training, you can sew a tripod on the cuff. If you have received first aid training, you can sew a red cross on the cuff.
These marks are just like the seniority badges on the chests of officers. An insider can tell the skills a soldier has at a glance.
Seeing that his company's performance was so outstanding, Li Fei, the commander of Company A, laughed loudly: "How about brothers, do you want to give you some precision shooters? Our Company A now has a serious surplus of precision shooters!"
According to the regulations of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, each squad must have at least one precision shooter. This precision shooter is not equipped with a sniper rifle and will follow the squad during combat. The Nyasaland Arsenal is now contacting the Germans in the hope of purchasing it.
Considering the German optical technology, if the Nyasaland Arsenal has the ability to produce sights, then Rock will issue sniper rifles with sights to all precision shooters.
"Who cares about you? Don't be complacent for too long. Just wait and see, the number one next time may not be yours." Commander Jing Jing of Company B was dissatisfied. Company B's score was only 0.5 rings lower than that of Company A.
This made Guan Jing very unwilling.
"Hahahaha, don't even think about it. Our company A will always be number one and no one can take it away!" Li Fei was so arrogant that several company commanders were scolding him.
Geng Biao didn't say anything. The performance of the soldiers of Company H was a bit unsatisfactory, and their results were not up to standard. They were only less than one link away from being good.
I still need to strengthen my training after I return!
