Christian looked at everyone in front of him fiercely, as if they were all vampires.
As the top rich man in southern Africa, Christian has a private guard comparable to the army. In order to better protect the safety of himself and his family, Christian spares no effort on the issue of the guard, with more salary, better equipment, and more
In order to ensure the loyalty of the guard members, Christian even arranged for the family members of the guard members to work in his company and live in his own manor.
Thanks to all the hard work, the Christian Private Guard is as elite as the professional soldiers in southern Africa.
Compared with the Guard members, these East Indian Chinese who had just received training in Medan were almost like toddlers and were indeed not worthy of such good treatment.
The whole box of rifles still exudes the smell of fresh gun oil. The military boots that cover the entire ankle can provide the soldiers with the greatest protection. There are several sets of brand-new military uniforms. The training uniforms can only be used during training and combat.
When leaving the military camp, you must wear regular clothes. You are not allowed to go barefoot under any circumstances. In Christian's words, if you take Christian's things, the lives of these recruits are sold to Christian. They are Christian's personal belongings.
Property, Christian will never allow his private property to be damaged.
"Mr. Andy -" Li Wan and Ling Zhi didn't expect Christian to be so domineering. They deprived Li Wan and Ling Zhi of their command rights when they first arrived in Medan. However, they didn't dare to go to Christian, so they had to go to Andy for help.
.
"Don't worry, the ownership of the army is still yours. What Mr. Christian wants is the command of the army during this period. When the Dutch are driven away, Mr. Christian will return the army to you." Andy said his own words.
Even if you don’t believe it, in southern Africa Christian is also a famous Pixiu, the kind that can only enter but not exit.
Don't look at Christian's "charity" on weekdays, which is limited to Nyasaland. Christian has no reservations about Roque. That's because Christian knows that as long as he contributes to Nyasaland, Roque will
Just give him more benefits.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t Christian go to Ade and Philip to show their courtesy?
"Mr. Andy, you misunderstood. We have no objection to Mr. Christian. Originally, one of us was a businessman and the other was a landowner, and we didn't know how to march and fight. Now that Mr. Christian has taken over, we can make full use of our talents. We heard that Mr. Christian
He is a big businessman in southern Africa——" Li Wan and Ling Zhi had other plans. If the east is not bright, the west is bright.
"This question is simple." Andy took over everything. Since he had taken away the military power of Li Wan and Ling Zhi, he had to compensate Li Wan and Ling Zhi in other ways.
Then Li Wan and Lingzhi successfully obtained the product agency rights and purchase and sales agreement. Specifically, Li Wan obtained the right to sell southern African products in East India, while Lingzhi was responsible for purchasing for Christian and Adan.
Various supplies needed by Southern Africa.
As a source of raw materials that the Dutch government has worked hard to build, East India does have a lot of good things. Natural rubber and oil are the first to bear the brunt. Coffee and cane sugar are also good. The output of palm oil is getting higher and higher, and it has become an important palm oil product in the world.
area, these are raw materials necessary for the development of industry in southern Africa.
It is a little regrettable that East India is actually rich in various precious woods, as well as tin, aluminum, nickel, iron, copper, tin, gold, silver and other non-ferrous metals. However, these things are not rare in southern Africa, and even in southern Africa.
The reserves are higher and of better quality than those in East India, so Southern Africa is not very dependent on these resources.
However, southern Africa does not need it, which does not mean that other countries do not need it. Looking around the world, except for southern Africa, which is vast and sparsely populated and rich in products, which country does not need non-ferrous metals?
European countries, which are in the midst of an arms race, simply have as much as they want, and the prices they offer are getting higher and higher.
Otherwise, the Dutch would not have been able to live such a comfortable life with the help of East India.
Now this part of the interests belongs to Adan Company.
At least that's the case around Medan.
Christian didn't care about these "small profits" and it was serious to drive away the Dutch as soon as possible. To this end, Christian even hired two instructors from Nyasaland Army Academy with high salaries to serve as commander and general of the newly established Medan Rebels respectively.
chief of staff.
The commander is Spike Dobbin, a former senior instructor at the Nyasaland Army Academy. He has served in the German army and participated in the Franco-Prussian War.
The Chief of General Staff is Alan Jennings. He has dual experience at Sandhurst Royal Military Academy and Nyasaland Army Academy. He is a senior staff officer and has been engaged in staff work for more than thirty years. He has rich teaching experience, but
Never been in actual combat.
When these two came to East India, they each brought a dozen students with them. These students were all students of the Nyasaland Army Academy. Of course, their names are no longer in the Nyasaland Army Academy. Their names are gone.
My personal file was taken away directly by Brad's office, and my current identity is that of an overseas employee of Brad's office.
In other words, these people, including Spike Dobbin and Alan Jennings, are now employees of Umbrella.
Compared with other Umbrella Company mercenaries, Spike Dobbin and Alan Jennings are both standard academics, while the Umbrella Company mercenaries who serve as instructors are all wild, but this does not affect the academic and
Ye Luzi's cooperation.
The academic sect is a regular army, strict and orderly, good at strong suppression on the frontal battlefield, and has extremely solid basic work.
Ye Luzi, on the other hand, is unconventional and has no trace. No matter what method he uses, winning is justice. The two groups actually complement each other and complement each other.
On June 1, the East India servant army crossed Lake Toba and continued its attack on Medan.
In fact, since the East India servant army arrived at Lake Toba, it has been under the surveillance of the Medan Port Air Force. As a result, the aircraft became evidence of the Dutch government's attack on southern Africa and its interference in East India's internal affairs.
The federal government of Southern Africa has long prepared its rhetoric. The aircraft was bought by the East Indians themselves, and the pilots were hired by the East Indians themselves. It has nothing to do with Southern Africa. Nyasaland Airlines is a commercial company, and their behavior is consistent with
Business standards do not violate the laws of the British government and the Federal Government of Southern Africa, so the Federal Government of Southern Africa cannot restrict the behavior of Nyasaland Airlines.
This explanation obviously did not satisfy the Dutch. Although Italy and the Ottoman Empire could also purchase aircraft from Nyasaland Airlines, they could not hire pilots from Nyasaland. This was known to the whole world.
However, the Dutch were helpless. Whoever advocated the laws of Southern Africa had to provide evidence. The Dutch believed that the Nyasaland state government interfered in the internal affairs of East India. They had to provide corresponding real evidence before they could apply for an investigation by the Southern African federal government.
What makes the Dutch helpless is that the Minister of Justice of the Southern African Federal Government is Henry, and the Deputy Minister is Roque, so they can tell with their toes whether the Ministry of Justice will do its best.
While the Dutch government and the federal government of Southern Africa were fighting a lawsuit, the Medan Rebels had already begun to counterattack the East India servants.
Considering that the training of the Medan troops has not yet been completed, the counterattack will be mainly carried out by the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company. The Medan troops will also be dispatched to feel the battle atmosphere in advance.
According to the information provided by the pilot, the Second East India Division was advancing towards Medan along Lake Toba. Because Lake Toba is now under the control of Medan troops, the Second East India Division behaved like mercenaries outside the country.
They fought, burned, killed, and looted along the way. On the first day after arriving at Lake Toba, they looted many plantations and residential areas on the shores of Lake Toba, and forced plantation workers and residents along the coast to serve as army laborers.
In this way, as the troops deepened, the size of the Second Division became larger and larger. By the time they arrived at Lake Toba, the total number of troops, including the laborers accompanying the army, was already more than 10,000.
However, the combat effectiveness of the troops has little to do with the number of people. Let’s not talk about the training situation of the Second East India Division. The weapons and equipment are quite poor. The Dutch are indeed blindly plundering East India without any investment. In southern Africa
The single-shot rifles that have been eliminated are actually advanced weapons in the Second East India Division. Only less than average soldiers are equipped with single-shot rifles, and the remaining weapons are so diverse that the staff trainees of the Nyasaland Army Academy
I can't recognize the model number at all.
"Does it look like a flintlock gun?"
"It looks like it, but flintlocks have been eliminated for decades. The Second East India Division is also a regular army of East India. Is it still equipped with flintlocks?"
"What's so strange about this? It's only been a few decades, and the flintlock has not been completely eliminated in Europe. Don't judge these colonial slave armies by the military strength of our southern Africa."
A group of young staff officers discussed the photos taken by the plane. The cameras these days are very pixelated. In fact, they were just guessing. Even if they could barely tell it was a rifle, they couldn't tell the specific model.
"Gentlemen, stop discussing those meaningless photos. Your latest work, if we want to completely annihilate the Second East India Division, how many troops will be needed?" Chief of Staff Alan Jennings assigned the task, which is considered teaching content.
part.
The staff officers immediately performed their duties. Modern military operations are a very complex system. The composition of combat troops, the routes for troops to move in, the supplies that need to be carried, the subsequent transportation of materials, etc. are all the work of the staff officers.
The role of the general staff in the modern army is also becoming more and more important.
Soon, more than a dozen staff officers came to the answer. If the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company were dispatched, only two thousand people would be needed to annihilate the Second East India Division.
