The training level of the US military is such that any precision shooter randomly selected from the Second Cavalry Division is qualified to serve as an instructor, let alone a master of Qinling's level. Being sent to the Rainbow Division as an instructor is simply overqualified.
The U.S. military during this period had not yet formed its own style. The styles of military uniforms were similar to those of the British Expeditionary Force. It felt like they could be taken and modified casually before being determined as uniforms. The styles of the hats were similar to the British ship-shaped helmets, but they were not made of steel.
It's a soft-brimmed hat made of cloth, which looks like a fisherman's hat.
Compared with the uniforms of the US military, the uniforms of the Southern African Expeditionary Force are so handsome. The iron-gray hunting jacket with small lapels has a particularly narrow waist and has a bit of ergonomics. It makes the figure look taller and more energetic when worn.
; The overalls of the same color are loose but not bulky. In terms of British clothing style, the large pockets on the trouser legs are a bit nondescript, but they can be packed with any small items and it is much more convenient to take them out when lying on the ground than traditional trouser pockets.
Whoever wears it knows.
The US military is still issued with the traditional split leather shoes of the British army. The upper part of the ankle is separated from the shoe, which cannot effectively protect the ankle. The British army has now given up this kind of military boots, which are more beautiful to use.
, a stronger, more breathable one-piece military boot that U.S. troops have yet to realize.
It's even worse than the "poor little army" of Britain. The U.S. Army is a famous "beggar's army." After all, Britain still had a standing army of hundreds of thousands before the outbreak of the World War. The U.S. Army had a standing army when the World War broke out.
There are no troops, and the Army Department is just a standard empty shell.
In this case, you can imagine how cool it was when Qinling and others jumped out of the armored personnel carrier wearing 1913-style steel helmets, wearing 1915-style military uniforms, and carrying Lee Enfield rifles equipped with scopes.
To use a common British expression, it's supercool.
"Mr. Colonel, Sergeant Qin Ling of the Second Cavalry Division of the Sixth Army of the British Expeditionary Force is reporting to you -" Qin Ling's military salute is very standard, which makes Americans feel disdainful, but the London accent he works hard to learn behind the scenes is also very standard.
Different from the precision shooter logos embroidered with silk thread on the sleeves of other precision shooters, the logos on Qinling's sleeves are embroidered with gold thread, and there are three of them, which means that Qinling's sniper kill score has reached 300.
If Qinling returns to southern Africa now, he can directly enter Nyasaland Military Academy as a sniper instructor.
"Welcome, Sergeant, Rainbow Division welcomes you, and I hope we can cooperate happily." MacArthur smiled with a smile on his face. Although the Chinese in the United States were struggling to survive under the oppression of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Chinese in southern Africa——
The Chinese in Southern Africa are British, and they are two different things from the Chinese in the United States. As the number of Chinese in Southern Africa increases, before the outbreak of the World War, the British media sometimes published some news that was unfavorable to the Chinese in Southern Africa. In Romania,
After Croft became the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, all the negative news about the Chinese has disappeared without a trace. Now the British media are reporting on how outstanding the expeditionary force performed on the Western Front, and how the Ottomans in Asia Minor Peninsula conducted an expedition in the Mediterranean.
How happy they were under the rule of the British Expeditionary Force, and how grateful the French and Belgians were to the British Expeditionary Force.
The real facts are not important, what is important is that the British want to see the news.
I can only see these news.
The British do have "freedom of speech". The law gives people the right to freedom of speech, but capital does not give ordinary people the space to express themselves freely.
Qin Ling was in charge of a squad of twenty people. The members of the squad had relatively good foundations, but according to the standards of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the capabilities of the squad members still did not meet the requirements of precision shooters.
Just like the British troops who were well educated by Boer marksmen with accurate marksmanship during the Boer War, during the American Civil War, the Northern Army troops were also well educated by the Confederate troops with accurate marksmanship.
With stronger industrial capabilities and the Emancipation Proclamation, the Northern Army finally won the victory. After the war, the Americans learned from the painful experience and began to pay attention to training in shooting techniques. However, the United States did not even have a standing army, and the training plan was obviously a mere formality.
.
The leader of the team is Sergeant Major Tom Oscar from Texas. Tom Oscar's attitude towards Qinling is not friendly, which is normal. Texas has always been one of the most racially discriminatory states in the United States.
The reason why it is "one" is because racial discrimination is serious in almost all states in the United States.
When he found out that Qin Ling was Chinese, Tom Oscar's expression immediately turned cold. He didn't know what the gold thread logo on Qin Ling's sleeves meant, so he doubted whether Qin Ling was qualified to be their instructor.
"Proof? What proof do you need?" Qinling still doesn't know how bad Americans are. At least in southern Africa, no white people dare to blatantly discriminate against Chinese people.
In southern Africa now, it would be great if the Chinese do not discriminate against white people. Many poor white people——
It’s really hard to put into words.
Let's put it this way, at least Africans in southern Africa work very hard and are not picky about their jobs. They have very low requirements for remuneration and almost no requirements for benefits. They don't even dare to think about holidays or anything like that, and they don't know how to do it.
After receiving the farm allocated by the federal government, it was all lost overnight.
The Southern African federal government has statistics in this regard. Since the establishment of the Southern African federal government, more than 10,000 white immigrants have received land allocated by the federal government, resold the land privately, and then left southern Africa without a trace.
In contrast, there are only a handful of Chinese immigrants who resell their land privately. It has been almost ten years since the federal government of Southern Africa was established. In these ten years, less than a hundred Chinese immigrants have resold their land privately and left Southern Africa. Some people have resold their farms.
After that, he returned to the Far East, but within two years he desperately wanted to return to southern Africa.
Only in southern Africa can the property of the Chinese be guaranteed. Outside of southern Africa, the poor Chinese are coolies and the rich Chinese are fat sheep. Unfortunately, many people understand this only after paying a painful price.
Regarding these people, Southern Africa has a very firm attitude and will never accept a second immigration application. Even if they are hanged in front of the immigration office, it will be useless. They will be deported if they sneak into Southern Africa.
These examples have been used as typical cases and have been widely publicized in newspapers and magazines published in southern Africa. Smart people naturally know what to do, and those who are not smart write about it in newspapers.
"Prove that you have the ability to guide us!" Tom Oscar said confidently, holding the rifle at an angle and slumped, as if he deserved as many beatings as he wanted.
What is lacking is a beating from society.
"You mean, you want to have a duel with me?" Qin Ling immediately realized Tom Oscar's true purpose.
This time it was Tom Oscar's turn to be embarrassed. A duel was not training and might result in death.
It's not that bad. Looking at Qin Ling's stern eyes, if Tom Oscar dares to agree, then Qin Ling will definitely not hold back.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. It is now 1916. In remote villages in Europe, dueling is still a very popular way to solve problems.
"Tom, don't pretend to be a coward, promise him!"
"Come on Tom, let's see how powerful you are. Haven't you always been bragging that you are supercool?"
"I bet that Tom is not Qin's opponent. Look at Qin's eyes. I have only seen this look in my uncle's eyes. My uncle is a butcher. Every time he wants to kill a pig, he looks at the pig like this.
——”
There are always a lot of people who don't take it too seriously to watch the excitement. These American soldiers are also big-hearted, so they just moved a bench and started selling melon seeds and peanut mineral water.
There are still some people who are relatively calm. Qin Hui has three good friends. The team members who are familiar with Tom Oscar are worried.
Just when Tom Oscar challenged Qin Ling, the other instructors folded their arms and watched the fun without saying anything, looking at Tom with pity in their eyes.
This attitude is very abnormal. As comrades, their correct attitude should be to worry about Qinling.
So their current performance can only explain one problem.
"Tom, don't be impulsive, you are no match for the instructor -"
Pig teammates can be such pigs sometimes. If pig teammates don't speak, then Tom might really give up, but if he says it in such a certain and affirmative tone, his uncle can tolerate it and his aunt can't.
"Come on, let me see how powerful you are -" Tom Oscar was completely stood up.
"Fuck, Tom, you're crazy——"
"Don't do this Tom, Mr. Lieutenant will not allow you to duel."
"Qin, forgive Tom, don't be on the same level as him."
People who didn't mind watching the excitement finally realized the seriousness of the matter. This was no ordinary game, this was a duel that decided life and death with one shot.
"Gentlemen, shouldn't you be worried about Qin?" Finally, an American soldier asked this question.
"Worried? Who are you talking about?" The instructor looked broken when asked.
"Qin, Qin is your comrade-in-arms, right?" The expression of the American soldier also collapsed.
"Wow ha ha ha ha--"
"Hehehe, yes, we are indeed very worried -"
"Huh huh huh, but what we are worried about is not whether Qinling can win, but whether Qinling will bear some unnecessary responsibilities if he kills the sergeant major."
The instructors burst into laughter, and one instructor even sat on the ground and burst into tears.
"Well, you seem to have great confidence in Qin——" The American soldier finally realized that Tom Oscar had picked the wrong person.
"Do you know how many German officers and soldiers have been killed in the Qinling Mountains so far?" an instructor's tone was full of joking.
The American soldiers didn't say anything, waiting for the instructor to continue breaking the news.
"315 - Qinling has killed 315 German officers and soldiers, so pray for the sergeant major. Now you can prepare for his funeral." The instructor's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder in the ears of the American soldiers.
