There are currently some employees in the Umbrella Company who are mine security guards and militiamen. Their salary is the highest in the Umbrella Company. They can get seventy or eighty pounds a year, which is a decent middle class in Johannesburg.
If the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesian Division and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division retire, they will definitely receive an annual salary of more than one hundred pounds. This salary is enviable even in the UK.
"Brothers are very excited. Xia Jiu wanted to send a few people over for training some time ago. After reading our training subjects, he didn't mention it. He said he was afraid that his people would be ruined, so he sent them to me later.
No Havana cigars and French champagne. If someone from our side retires, let him know in advance." Suo Chao and Xia Jiu are also old friends. If Xia Jiu hadn't retired due to injury, his current status might not be as low as Suo Chao's.
Rock doesn't care about these things. The employees of the Umbrella Company don't need to be very powerful. Private detectives are actually more manual jobs. Even if the soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division retire, they are only in demand for high-end security work.
But Xia Jiu had to wait. The new First Cavalry Division had just been established, and it would be at least three years before the first batch of soldiers retired.
"Our garrison will be completed next month. Let's inform all companies to prepare and move at the end of the month." Luo Ke also came back late. Moving is a big event, and Luo Ke, the person in charge, must be present.
"Okay, brothers have been looking forward to this day for a long time. The rainy season some time ago made all the brothers miserable. Water would come out of the quilts when they slept at night. After washing the clothes and hanging them to dry overnight, they were still wet when they were put on the next morning.
"Suo Chao was very happy. The current dormitories are all wooden warehouses, and the terrain is a bit low-lying. During the rainy season, there is serious water accumulation.
The terrain of the new station is higher. Except for the training ground, everything in the camp has been hardened. All the buildings are either made of stone or reinforced concrete, which is much better than here.
While talking, Geng Biao walked into the camp with a group of gray-headed guys arrogantly.
Seeing Luo Ke, Geng Biao ran over and saluted: "Division commander, Geng Biao, commander of the reconnaissance company, is reporting to you that there are 65 people in the reconnaissance company. There should be 65, but the actual number is 63. Please give your instructions."
The establishment of the reconnaissance company is a bit special, and if it fails to meet the requirements, it would rather be lacking than overfilling, so Geng Biao's men may never be able to fill it up.
There is no way around this. The newly formed 1st Cavalry Division originally followed the route of elite soldiers, and the reconnaissance company is the elite among the elites. Being able to join the reconnaissance company is the dream of all soldiers in the new 1st Cavalry Division. The competition is very fierce. Generally speaking,
If the company's shooting performance is good, it is considered to have met the standard. The performance of the reconnaissance company is all excellent, which means that everyone in the reconnaissance company is a precise shooter.
To achieve this step, in addition to hard training, you also need a certain amount of talent. This talent is particularly important, otherwise the reconnaissance company would not be all Chinese, not even an African.
This is not meant to be black to Africans, although Africans are inherently black.
When Geng Biao led Company H, in order to win the competition, Geng Biao was once put in solitary confinement due to rigorous training.
The soldiers of Company H have actually worked very hard, but there are some fundamental things that cannot be changed. For example, the newly formed First Cavalry Division requires careful maintenance of weapons after training. Even Company G, composed of Boers, cannot
It can be done, but African soldiers cannot do it without them.
During several random inspections at the division headquarters, H Company's score was always at the bottom. Later, Geng Biao got angry and watched the officers and soldiers of H Company maintain their weapons in person, but some people still failed to do it properly.
It’s not that I don’t know how to do it, it’s not that I can’t do it, I’m just careless. I often forget the next step after doing the previous step. The same gun has been disassembled and assembled hundreds of times, and some people have extra parts after assembling the whole gun. Geng
Even if Biao hangs the person up and beats him, it will be useless. At that time, he cried for his father and called his mother, but everything will be the same when he looks back.
Therefore, all Geng Biao's men are Chinese, and there is not a single African.
Of course, neither did the Boers. The Boers were unable to enter the reconnaissance company simply because of their lack of ability and had nothing to do with attitude.
"Can the reconnaissance company march 75 kilometers in 14 hours and then immediately go into battle?" Rock has high requirements for the reconnaissance company, which is completely the standard of the 38th Army.
The 38th Army is a long live army.
"Sir, I have never tried it." Geng Biao didn't know why Roque suddenly proposed this condition.
"Then let's go back and try. How was the training this time?" Rock was not in a hurry. The achievements of the 38th Army were only achieved under special conditions and cannot be replicated.
Roque did not require that the reconnaissance company must reach the level of the 38th Army. That represents the limit of the human body. If Roque trains the troops according to this requirement, it is estimated that the casualty index during the training of the troops will be increased several times.
"Sire, this time we are conducting wilderness survival training. Brothers only carry daggers and pistols to the Bechuanaland Protectorate. They have to stay in the Bechuanaland Protectorate for a full week. The pistols are in accordance with the training requirements. Unless there are extreme circumstances, they will not be allowed to do so.
It is allowed to be used. The use of pistols means that the training has failed. When we left the camp, each of us only carried a bottle of water and nothing else. Now all of our water bottles are still full." Geng Biao.
I am very proud. This training is actually very cruel. There is no uninhabited land in the strict sense in the suburbs of Johannesburg, so for wilderness survival training, we have to go to the Bechuanaland Conservation Area.
Bechuanaland Reserve is the future Botswana, which is extremely backward compared to Johannesburg. Most people in the entire area are still in primitive living conditions. The wild animals that have almost disappeared around Johannesburg are in Bechuanaland Reserve.
It's everywhere, it's better during the day, but at night, it's dangerous everywhere in the Bechuanaland Protectorate.
"How are the casualties?" Rock realized that such training could not be without casualties.
"Six brothers quit midway, one brother was confirmed to have been killed, and one brother is missing." Geng Biao's eye circles instantly turned red, and he became overwhelmed.
Roque walked into the division headquarters without saying a word. If Roque spoke at this moment, he might curse loudly.
It took a long time before Luo Ke calmed down, called Suo Chao and Geng Biao into the office, and immediately stopped the wilderness survival training.
This field survival training was actually proposed by Rock, but Rock did not regard the field survival training as a formal training subject, but as a reference subject for backup.
Luo Ke also did not expect that Suo Chao and Geng Biao would implement wilderness survival training as a training subject.
If we want to investigate the responsibility, I'm afraid Roque is the one who bears the greatest responsibility.
"I don't blame you for this, it's my fault for not thinking carefully. Field survival training is not necessary for the current situation of the army. Even if the reconnaissance company performs reconnaissance missions in the future, it will be a small-scale unit operating together, carrying enough supplies, and also
There will be logistical medical support and response troops. Basically, such extreme situations will not occur, so from now on, the field survival training will be stopped. As for the sacrificed and missing brothers, they will be compensated according to the relevant regulations for those killed in action." Rock said.
Playing a word game, disappearing on the African savannah is almost like death. In many cases, there are no bones left. It is really the most tragic way to die.
"Sir, wilderness survival training is still necessary." Suo Chao wanted to continue.
Suo Chao did not expect that Rock would stop it directly. Although the wilderness survival training seemed a bit miserable, in Suo Chao's view, the wilderness survival training was very necessary.
Rock made a stop gesture to prevent Suo Chao from continuing: "When we formulate the training plan, we must take the actual situation into consideration. The actual situation now is that in the next ten or more years, Delan will
There may not be a large-scale war in Swarovski, so the training intensity can be appropriately reduced. As for wilderness survival training, let’s not talk about whether this training is valuable. 65 people accepted the training, and nearly one-tenth of them quit, which is close to one percent.
Three people were killed. This is no longer training, this is life-threatening. Our soldiers are very valuable. Now we spend more than one hundred pounds on each soldier. These soldiers are our new number one soldiers.
No one has the right to waste the property of the Cavalry Division, including me, the division commander."
Rock was a little angry. If we continue this kind of training, the reconnaissance company will be disbanded in just a few times. What a waste of time.
"Yes!" Suo Chao responded honestly without much resistance.
After leaving the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, Rock went directly to the Umbrella Company.
The Umbrella Company is now quite large. There are armed guards on duty at the entrance of the company's headquarters. The headquarters is now a three-story reinforced concrete building. Xia Jiu's office is at the end of the first floor. When Luo Ke arrived, Xia Jiu was talking to
Several company executives held a meeting.
Knowing that Luo Ke had arrived, Xia Jiu immediately suspended the meeting and personally came to receive Luo Ke.
Luo Ke didn't take Xia Jiu's seat and sat directly on the sofa in Xia Jiu's office.
"Umbrella Company now has more than 1,500 employees. All the mines around Johannesburg are Umbrella's customers. The security work is all handled by Umbrella Company. We directly send more than 600 security guards, and the remaining employees are in three directions around Johannesburg.
If necessary, we can dispatch manpower nearby. Last month, Umbrella's turnover exceeded 50,000 pounds. In addition to corporate security, we also accept private employment and provide private security and investigation services.
, the remuneration in this area is very generous, hiring a private security officer, the monthly salary is more than 50 pounds, the company and the individual are divided 50-50, the investigation work is more remunerative, some time ago, Mr. Owen hired an umbrella to investigate Henry Eyre
Mr. Thorpe and Mr. Kevin Trevicorn each have to pay one thousand pounds." Xia Jiu is also well managed, and the umbrella company's operating conditions are good, exceeding Roark's expectations.
Although Irving is also the boss of Umbrella, Irving also has to pay for hiring Umbrella to serve him. There is no price to negotiate in this regard, even Roque has to pay.
