Facts have proved that there is definitely a reason for the white officers to look down on the Indians. Even the simple task of clearing roads cannot be done well by those Indians.
The officers of all the British troops stationed in India are all white people. No matter how outstanding the performance of ordinary Indians is, they can only reach the level of sergeant major.
This actually dampens the enthusiasm of Indian soldiers. In a country with hundreds of millions of people, there are actually many outstanding people. But in a place like India, if they are from a lower caste, they will never get ahead. Not only
It was the upper caste Brahmins who did not give them a chance, and even the British would not give them a chance.
This current situation is actually very despairing. If Rock was born in a country like India, he would probably try his best to leave and escape from this environment.
So the final result is that capable young people are leaving generation after generation, and those who are incompetent can only drift along and live their lives.
Indians in the British army are basically in this state. No matter how good their performance is, they cannot become officers, so for them being a soldier is just a job to support their family.
That's not right. The salary of Indian-origin soldiers is probably not enough to support their families. It's good to be able to support themselves. The most valuable thing they have is the rifle they use, which is the Martini that has been eliminated by the new 1st Cavalry Division.
Henry, so in the words of Mars Howard, the most important daily job of white officers is to keep an eye on the weapons in the hands of soldiers, otherwise many soldiers will secretly sell the weapons for money.
After the order was given, it was broken down layer by layer, and then Rock saw the white officer holding a whip like herding sheep, driving the Indian soldiers to clear the obstacles.
These whips were made of cloth strips wrapped with copper strips. They were more like short sticks than whips. Rock noticed a slow-moving guy being scolded by a white officer, and then several bandanas came over carrying such short sticks.
, it was a slap on the head and face, and the ferocity of the attack was simply shocking.
The one who did it and the one who got beaten were actually Indians.
"You can't deal with these lazy pigs without a whip. They won't act unless they see the whip." Mars Howard said with a cold face. This scene was probably something he was used to.
"Alert, there are unidentified people approaching 500 meters away." The machine gunners on the truck stood high and looked far away. They were equipped with binoculars and were always observing.
When Rock left Johannesburg, he converted a dozen trucks into armored vehicles and took them to India.
The modification is actually to add steel plates to the carriage and add a shield to the machine gunner on the roof. Although the speed of the truck is greatly reduced, the protection is greatly enhanced. In places like India, it can be used as a tank.
.
The first reaction after the attack reflected the disparity between different troops to the greatest extent.
Before the machine gunner signaled the alert, the officers and soldiers of Company A were already prepared for the response. The machine gunners on the roofs of five armored vehicles were lined up in a row, and the other soldiers were squatting and resting neatly behind the armored vehicles, waiting for the officers to step down.
One step command.
The Gurkha troops were still in marching form before, and they did not panic after receiving the prompt. They remained calm and waited for the officer's next order.
The height of these Gurkha soldiers is generally not high, about 1.5 meters, but their 1.5 meters are different from the Japanese's short and bowy legs. Their body proportions are still very good, although they look a bit thin.
, but it feels very capable.
The key is that the dog-legged scimitar on their waist is really too fierce. This kind of dog-legged scimitar is actually also called Gurkha scimitar. Because of its design, it is wide at the front and narrow at the back. The blade is very thick and the blade is very thin.
The overall shape looks very similar to a "dog leg", so it is also called a "dog leg knife". This knife is actually a very excellent kukri knife with extraordinary cutting capabilities, suitable for hand-to-hand combat and in the jungle.
It is used for cutting mountains and cutting roads, but it is also an excellent wilderness survival tool.
The dog-legged scimitar is the symbol of the Gurkha mercenaries. Rock has obtained several dog-legged scimitars and sent them back to the Nyasaland Arsenal for engineers to study. The dog-legged scimitar will also become Nyasaland.
The army's first standard military knife.
In comparison, the performance of the Indian soldiers was hard to watch. Their curiosity was really great. It was obvious that an unknown person was approaching. In the war zone, this "unidentified person" has almost the same meaning as the enemy, but they did not.
Despite any warning actions, there was still a chaotic crowd. Some people actually tried to climb on the car to get a higher view, but were dragged down by the white officer again, and then a group of people surrounded them and beat them again.
Fortunately, the alert was lifted soon, and the people who came were holding white flags. When they walked in, they discovered that it was Lakshmi whom Rock knew.
Well, it was Lakshmi who did not give gifts to Rock. The Nakra area where the riots occurred was Lakshmi's territory.
"Lord, my home has been occupied by thugs. They kicked us out of the house, but left all the women behind. Those thugs deserve to die. Please kill them all." Lakshmi recognized Rock now.
It was very clear that even though Rock was standing with Mars Howard, Lakshmi did not admit his mistake.
"Wait a minute, we are clearing the obstacles." Although Lakshmi did not give Rock a gift, Rock would still do his best.
Among other things, what Rock hates most is harm to women. War makes women go away. As long as women do not take up arms, Rock is opposed to any harm to women.
"Quickly, my lord, I am willing to pay a thousand pounds, no, two thousand pounds." Lakshmi spoke unhesitatingly, which was a bit insulting.
"Shut your damn mouth! We don't need you telling us how to do our jobs! Get the fuck out of here right now or I'll put you in jail." Rock can take it, Mars.
Howard couldn't bear it anymore and scolded him all over the place.
Really, Lakshmi does not deserve sympathy. Although on the surface, Lakshmi's experience is very sad, but as a man, when the thugs broke into his home, instead of fighting to the death with the thugs, he left his wife and daughter behind.
This kind of person deserves to escape alone!
Lakshmi did not escape alone, but there were dozens of people. It can be seen from the clothes of these people that they were probably Lakshmi's family members.
In other words, when disaster strikes, all the men in Lakshmi's family run away, leaving the women to fall into the hands of the thugs. The thugs deserve to die, but the escaped men like Lakshmi are even more despicable.
Indians really didn't dare to resist in front of white people. Lakshmi was scolded by Mars Howard and didn't even dare to reply. She stood aside muttering and looked at Rock with hope and a trace of hope in her eyes.
of hatred.
It is estimated that Lakshmi is cursing at this moment as to why Rock and other soldiers did not stop the thugs in advance but did not reflect on why there were riots in their territory.
So Rock didn't pity Lakshmi at all. Although Rock was also worried about the fate of those women, as the military commander, Rock first had to ensure the safety of the troops, and then he would consider ending the riot as soon as possible.
Lakshmi did not dare to make any further demands and instead scolded the slow-moving Indian soldiers.
These Indian soldiers were all of low caste, and they did not dare to reply to Lakshmi, a high-caste king. However, the movements of their hands did not speed up because of Lakshmi's anger. They still moved slowly, bit by bit.
Even a branch less than one meter long would make two people want to lift it together.
"You damn pigs, you deserve to go to hell. In your next life you will be lowly Sudras, or even damn Dalits." Lakshmi jumped up and down, looking really anxious.
But even though Lakshmi looked anxious, she had no intention of helping and moving the obstacle away as soon as possible.
"Damn high castes, they don't work, they just wish someone could eat for them." Mars Howard really couldn't stand it.
The caste system in India is divided into Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Sudras.
Brahmins are the highest caste in Indian society, while Sudras, as a lower caste, are also called "miscellaneous castes". They are rarely respected in India and work in what is considered the lowest profession.
In addition to the above four types, there is also a class that does not deserve to have a surname at all. These people are "untouchables" in India, known as "Dalits", and are also called "untouchables".
Lakshmi's urging definitely had the opposite effect. The last few tree trunks, which were not very big, looked very heavy. The Indian soldiers simply refused to touch them. Even if the white officers came up to whip them with sticks, the Indian soldiers just held them in their arms.
He lay with his head on the ground and curled up into a ball, not resisting at all, and of course he wouldn't get up to work.
Luo Ke couldn't bear it anymore and signaled Guan Jing to use a truck to haul the tree trunk away.
As a result, when the truck dragged away the tree trunk, the Indian soldiers who had just been beaten or scolded burst into loud cheers, and even Lakshmi applauded, as if they had won the victory.
"Lord, you shouldn't have sent the truck out. Look at the expressions of these guys. They are not grateful. Instead, they think that your men have done their work and become the same low caste as them. They will even think that if others
I helped them because others thought they had a lower social status than them and should take the initiative to provide services to them." Mars Howard's words refreshed Rock's three views.
Sure enough, next, there were Indian soldiers who wanted to ride in Company A's truck because they thought it would be great.
Rock must not be used to them now. The rifle butts of the newly-organized soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division can hit people much harder than a stick.
