H Company's performance in daily training is still good. Many soldiers can achieve excellent results in daily training. It is not a big problem to achieve a good overall level.
The problem still lies in the mentality. As soon as they enter the game state, the soldiers of Company H will habitually lose their temper. In the public eye, they will always lose their balance, shrink back and be unable to give full play to their own strength.
This is most obvious in the soldiers drawn from the detective team. The Zulu people who fought with the Portuguese in Portuguese East Africa were relatively less affected.
If you look at it this way, the solution is actually simple. Find an opportunity and let these Zulu soldiers fight with the white troops. As long as they can defeat the white troops in an upright manner, the psychological problems will be easily solved.
It's a pity that there are not many such opportunities. The Portuguese are rare persimmons. It is estimated that such opportunities will be difficult to find within a few years.
"Don't worry, it's actually pretty good now. You have to know that not long ago, they were even slaves. Now letting them compete with white people will definitely affect their mentality." Rock was really not in a hurry. He was originally worried about these Zulu
The American soldiers didn't have high hopes, and their behavior now is normal.
Geng Biao definitely didn't think so. If he loses, he loses. He doesn't make any excuses. He will continue to train hard when he comes back.
It's a pity that some problems cannot be solved by training. In the last long-distance training, Company H did not get the first place. The first place was Company A, which performed well in all evaluations.
This is entirely Geng Biao's responsibility. Long-distance training requires physical reserves. The monthly assessment is for 20 kilometers of long-distance training. Company H just came for a 20-kilometer trip on the 28th. There was no time to recover in just two days. When the results were evaluated,
, Company H's performance was only better than that of Company G, which was again at the bottom.
Both William and Ross were numb. It cannot be said that the officers and soldiers of G Company did not work hard, but the gap in strength cannot be made up in a short time.
After the evaluation, Roque was still in a good mood. The results of all the officers and soldiers in the evaluation were better than Roque expected. In some aspects, the performance of the new First Cavalry Division was compared with that of the Northern Rhodesia Division.
It's not much different, and it has a huge advantage compared to the Transvaal colonial army.
"It's really surprising. It's only been two short months, but their performance looks like they have been training for decades." Hopkins also came to visit the monthly evaluation of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division. After the final results came out, Huo Huo
Pugins was convinced.
Rock doesn't need to comment on this conclusion. The newly formed 1st Cavalry Division can achieve good results inseparable from strict daily training. Hopkins' troops have almost no daily training, and even if they do, they only fight for three days.
Fishing in the net for two days cannot be compared with the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division that has to train every day.
Not to mention that many of the training items of the new 1st Cavalry Division are not available in Hopkins’ troops. If Hopkins also trains the troops according to the training outline of the new 1st Cavalry Division, it may cause confusion among the troops.
Mutiny.
This is not an exaggeration. In Hopkins' view, many training programs of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division are simply inhumane. For example, in the final long-distance training, Hopkins was surprised to find that many officers and soldiers had already vomited and ran away.
Even though he was exhausted, he still managed to persevere. This was something that would never happen in Hopkins' army.
"Locke, can I also send some troops here for training?" Hopkins still had ideas. The new 1st Cavalry Division performed so well, so Hopkins' troops couldn't be too bad.
"Yes, but you have to prepare them. The training of the new First Cavalry Division is not something ordinary people can bear. If you have time, go to our field hospital." Rock is willing to open up resources, as long as Hopkins
If he can accept it, Narok has no reason to object.
The field hospital of the newly established 1st Cavalry Division is located within the 1st Division's station. On weekdays, the field hospital is empty, but now it is filled with patients in need of treatment.
The monthly assessment of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division does not have casualty indicators. After all, it is not a live-fire exercise, it is just an assessment. Even so, the field hospital is still full of patients.
Many of the patients suffered from collapse and contusion. Although the injuries were not serious, there were many people who needed treatment, so it still looked a bit shocking.
The most seriously injured were the two unlucky guys who fell off the horse during the riding competition. One probably broke his internal organs and vomited blood when he was sent to the hospital. The other had his leg trampled by the horse. Even if he recovered,
It is estimated that he will also be disabled afterwards.
"So hard?!" Hopkins didn't know how to evaluate it. This kind of situation would never happen in Hopkins' army.
"What if I don't work so hard? The results are all based on hard work. The new First Cavalry Division is mainly composed of Chinese Americans. I know that there are many people waiting to see the joke." Roque can now ignore this.
Various degrees of injuries and illnesses. The newly formed 1st Cavalry Division has strict regulations in this regard. All wounded soldiers will receive good care. If the injury is serious and cannot return to normal after treatment, they must retire. The new 1st Cavalry Division will also
Generous compensation will be paid in the next few years to ensure that the soldiers' lives will not be greatly affected.
To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is unavoidable. What Roque needs to do is to improve the safety awareness of the officers and soldiers, reduce the occurrence of similar situations, and do a good job of comforting them.
If you cancel the monthly evaluation because of this kind of thing, then you are giving up eating because of choking. As the saying goes, you sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war.
"Locke, you are too anxious. The training of the army should be gradual and cannot be accomplished overnight." Hopkins had no sense of urgency and could not understand Locke's mood.
This is actually the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. Westerners know their destiny as best they can, and as long as they work hard, they will have no regrets about whether they succeed or not. Therefore, in war, Western troops can surrender if they encounter desperate situations. This is not true in Western culture.
If you don't humiliate, you will even be respected as a hero.
This is not the case with the Chinese. The Chinese would rather live in ruins than in ruins. At critical moments, they must have the courage to risk their lives. They advocate fighting to the bitter end and never living in vain. Therefore, in terms of training, Rock and Hopkins have the same philosophy.
Completely different.
In fact, this difference has a lot to do with the specific conditions of the East and the West. European countries have always been small countries with few people. Population is an important factor in determining whether a country is strong. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, European countries will not kill each other.
There is a tacit understanding between them.
Eastern countries are different. Thanks to their strong farming system, Eastern countries have never lacked population. Therefore, Eastern countries always try to reduce the population of hostile countries as much as possible to weaken the strength of hostile countries.
On the battlefield, after troops from European countries surrender, they often have the opportunity to return to their own countries, so it is not shameful to surrender.
In the wars in the East, even if troops in desperate situations surrender, they will often be massacred. Therefore, surrender cannot change the final result, so it is better to fight to the bitter end on the battlefield.
"General, results are the best answer." Rock did not argue with Hopkins. If the monthly evaluation results were not convincing enough, then the performance of the Northern Rhodesian Division in counterinsurgency should be very convincing.
Already.
It's a pity that Hopkins probably doesn't approve of it, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.
In order to boost the morale of the troops, there are also rewards for the monthly evaluation. The company with excellent performance in the comprehensive evaluation can retain the flag of the new 1st Cavalry Division, which symbolizes honor, for the next month. The company with the lowest performance in the comprehensive evaluation can
, will be responsible for the sanitation in the camp within the next month.
Cleaning will definitely affect the company's training, and it will have to withstand the ridicule of other company officers and soldiers. At this time, it depends on the role of the company chief, whether he breaks the pot or is brave, or knows his shame and then becomes brave. The final result is completely different.
The newly formed 1st Cavalry Division definitely does not need a broken unit. If the same company consistently ranks at the bottom in multiple evaluations, then the officers and soldiers of the company will be given a demerit, and in serious cases, they may even be returned to the original unit.
It seems a bit cruel, right, but that's how the army is. On the battlefield, the enemy will definitely not show mercy just because a certain unit is weak. On the contrary, the enemy will seize the weakness and fight non-stop, eventually forming a local breakthrough.
This will affect the entire battle situation.
In early November, the first batch of motorcycles ordered by the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division from the Holt Motorcycle Factory arrived, and soon after, Rudolf Diesel finally sent a prototype truck.
Rock tested the truck immediately.
The officers and soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division were full of curiosity about motorcycles and trucks. Rock finally found the best position for the officers and soldiers of G Company. To regain their place on the training ground, it was basically as difficult for G Company as boarding.
Hell, if that's the case, let's just train G Company as an automobile soldier, and then let G Company be responsible for the driving and maintenance of trucks.
"In other words, we don't need to train anymore?" William had a really complicated expression on his face after knowing Roque's plan.
William knew very well that under normal circumstances, it was basically impossible for G Company to defeat other companies of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division on the training ground. After all, while G Company was improving, other companies were also improving. This gap was not only huge.
It will shrink and may continue to grow.
If this situation really happens, it means that G Company will have to contract all the sanitation of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division in the future, which is definitely unacceptable to William.
"What are you thinking? Even if you are an automobile soldier, you still need to receive training. You still need to have basic combat capabilities. If necessary, the automobile soldier will also go to the battlefield." Roque did not give G Company a chance to be lazy. It was already weak.
, if you are lazy again, you will really be hopeless.
