679 The full man does not know the hungry man is hungry
Who is the older brother and who is the younger brother is meaningless to Ada. Angel and Barton are both stinky younger brothers to Ada.
In fact, compared with the British playboys, the various second-generation people in southern Africa are already outstanding. Angel and Barton's generation do not have the bad habits of the British aristocratic children, and overall they are relatively hard-working. This makes Ada
And Rock they are very satisfied.
Satisfaction naturally means that the requirements are relatively high, so it is relatively strict. The young man who has been looking for trouble is the son of the British Minister of Middle East Affairs, and he is also a standard second-generation official. Ada is not even interested in taking a look.
Even if the Minister of Middle East Affairs is in person, if Ada is unhappy, he will not give her any face. This is how confident she is.
"An Qi, show your hand to the ladies over there. You can even fly a plane. Don't you want to win the hearts of those girls?" Ada, an elder, actively guided. If in Europe, Angel, Barton and the others
At this age, you almost have children.
In fact, the same is true in southern Africa. Generally speaking, southern Africa still has traditional Chinese habits, and the proportion of early marriages is a bit high. Considering the health status of women, Roque once wanted to restrict it, but was generally opposed by the whole society. This situation is not common.
, Even in Nyasaland, Rock's will is not easy to work on this issue,
In this era, the importance of continuing the family line is still very serious. The reality in southern Africa has also determined that we cannot restrict this aspect and even encourage childbirth. The result of Rock's efforts is only to strictly put an end to "child brides".
Phenomenon, early marriage is still unavoidable.
"I'm sorry Aunt Cape, I still prefer Chinese girls." An Qi is still very insistent on her lifelong affairs. As expected, they are all bad brothers.
"Is it great to be able to fly a plane?" The son of the Minister of Middle East Affairs was indignant and expressed his enthusiasm in front of Ada.
"Of course it's amazing. Any Viscount's retinue who can obtain a pilot's license while working hard to become a doctor deserves respect." Ada finally took a look at the young man with freckles on his face, and then turned around with disgust.
Overdone.
How ugly!
Or energetic young people like An Qi are more worthy of attention.
Retinues are not servants, but trainee knights selected from the children of nobles. They have to live with the formal knights and work hard to learn how to become a real knight. After reaching the age limit, they will be awarded the qualification of knight.
If according to the traditional aristocratic standards, Angel is now qualified to become a knight. However, there is no qualification for enfeoffed nobles in southern Africa, so Ada's description is correct. Compared with the civil service system that the British government is trying to practice now, the ancient
The chivalry system actually has its essence worth learning from.
Chivalry is not a decadent so-called aristocratic style, but a belief, a personal behavior, a concept of honor and a moral code. It is humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, compassion, honesty, justice and soul.
"That's what low-class people do -" The young man refused to admit defeat. This map cannon was a bit big.
"Your remarks are really disgusting. It's hard to believe that this is how your parents educated you? Your behavior has brought shame to your family. You should reflect on it." Ada showed no mercy and spoke to the young man in just a few words.
Face flushed.
"You are indeed disgusting!" An Qi added insult to injury.
Button didn't speak, and his disdainful eyes were undisguised. His shooting skills were at their peak, fully taking advantage of Lee Enfield's advantage of fast shooting speed. Others shot with correct aim, put their index finger on the trigger, and fired a shot.
It almost creates a sense of ritual.
Not Patton. He put his middle finger on the trigger, and kept holding the bolt with his thumb and index finger. After pulling the trigger with his middle finger, he immediately pushed the bullet and loaded the gun. His movements were very skillful. It was obviously a bolt-action rifle, but it almost had the effect of a semi-automatic rifle.
The movements are smooth and smooth, and the hit rate is very high. This is no longer hunting, it is simply showing off skills.
Back to Roark, Ada was still angry.
After Roque found out, he didn't care, and he had no intention of regaining the situation for An Qi. He let the juniors deal with it, and Roque didn't interfere.
"The Department of War has set up a military observation group, which will arrive in Egypt in two days. The military in southern Africa is the main target of the inspection." McMahon didn't care about these things. What he cared about was political performance.
The War Department has been interested in the southern African army for a long time. After the Gloryburg rebellion, the War Department organized a military observation group to go to southern Africa to inspect the combat effectiveness of the southern African army. However, because the rebellion in Tanganyika ended quickly, the military inspection group
That's why it didn't happen.
After reaching the arms purchase agreement with Winston, the War Department's emphasis on southern Africa has reached a new level. Regarding the form of the army, there is also controversy within the British War Department. Some stubborn and conservative generals still insist on the details.
The red line refuses to change, but more and more generals are beginning to value the role of automatic weapons in the military.
In fact, similar disputes have arisen since the Boer War. Generals who were on the front lines wanted to increase the proportion of automatic weapons in their troops, while stubborn generals still insisted that volley tactics were the basis for determining the shape of the battlefield. Neither of these two groups could convince the other.
, the southern African army has become the best verification object.
"Who will lead the team?" Roque cheered up. This matter is of great significance to Southern Africa. If it can improve Southern Africa's status within the Commonwealth, Roque would not mind showing the most authentic truth to the military observer group.
one side.
Status is one aspect, and another important reason is that if the War Department wants to purchase more automatic weapons, then Southern Africa is fully capable of doing so.
There is currently no arsenal specializing in the production of automatic weapons in the UK. The first arsenal specializing in the production of automatic weapons in another time and space would not be established until World War I. In southern Africa, a military industrial group with more than a dozen factories has been established.
Some specialize in the production of gun barrels, some specialize in the production of gun stocks, and some specialize in assembly. A complete industrial chain has been formed. Arms have always been the most profitable industry. In another time and space, Britain had no other choice but to order from the United States, thus giving birth to
There are several military industry giants in the United States.
Now the United Kingdom has a better choice. Unlike the independent United States, Southern Africa is still within the Commonwealth and has a closer relationship with the United Kingdom. Therefore, there is no need for the United Kingdom to look far away. This part of the profits will eventually flow to Southern Africa.
"You should know Lieutenant General George White, the former commander-in-chief of the Southern African Field Army." McMahon smiled, thinking he was an acquaintance of Rock.
Rock laughed to hide his embarrassment. When George White was the commander-in-chief of the field army, Rock was still a policeman in Cape Town. By the time Rock crossed over, George White had been dismissed due to poor combat performance, so Rock and George
·White is really unfamiliar.
The armies in southern Africa indeed have something worth learning from the Ministry of War. According to Rock's plan, the 2nd Regiment of the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 102nd Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division worked step by step to gradually control the coastal areas starting from Alamein.
Alamein, then Marut, Barani in the west, and finally Sarum, it took less than half a month to completely drive the Cyrenaica guerrillas out of Egypt.
It was already October when George White came to Egypt. At this time, Siwa was already under the control of the Southern African army. From the beginning to the end, no fighting broke out between the Southern African army and the Cyrenaica guerrillas. Except for the Southern African army,
A dozen soldiers were bitten by venomous snakes, and dozens contracted diseases due to acclimatization, but there were no more non-combat casualties.
This was nothing short of miraculous in 1912.
"In other words, there was no fighting at all between you and the guerrillas?" George White was in disbelief. It was normal for the southern African army to win, but winning so easily was beyond everyone's expectation.
"Yes, we Chinese have a saying that 'conquer the enemy without fighting'. This is the highest state of the art of war. We have completely achieved this." Rock is still very satisfied. Even Rock has achieved this level.
Didn't even expect it.
"It's indeed amazing. How did you do it?" George White couldn't understand. He held his chin and leaned forward full of curiosity.
In the first stage of the Second Boer War, the troops led by George White were severely defeated. Not only were they retreating on the frontal battlefield, but they were also divided and surrounded by the Boer coalition. The war was about to reach the Cape territory. If it were not for Lord Roberts
and General Kitchener turned the tide, and the Boer coalition might even invade the Cape.
Although the British army eventually won the Boer War, they suffered huge losses. Lord Roberts' only son, Lieutenant Thurston Roberts, was killed in the Battle of Colenso on December 17, 1899.
"We worked steadily and steadily, cutting off the connection between the Cyrenaica guerrillas and the indigenous people. If the Cyrenaica guerrillas were isolated and helpless, they would naturally withdraw from Egypt. Although we did not eliminate them, we achieved our goal, and we did not
Without paying a heavy price, this is the most perfect result." Rock is indeed very satisfied. This is the legendary push all the way. When the troops and weapons and equipment are fully dominant, it is abnormal to fail to win.
"Go to Sarum with me tomorrow. I want to see with my own eyes how you defeat the enemy." George White vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal. It didn't matter if he didn't have enemies. Britain had enemies everywhere in the Near East.
"Don't be so anxious. I think you should take a rest first." Luo Ke is an old man. After all, he has been tired of traveling all the way. Why not go to the front line to find fault instead of attending a banquet in Cairo and hunting.
"No, no, no, Lord, we'd better work harder -" George White has been idle in the past few years and attaches great importance to this opportunity.
Rock is also a man who is full and does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry.
