After a five-kilometer run, the relationship between the soldiers immediately rose to a new level, and something called trust was growing.
In the Cossacks of the Imperial Russian era, the emotion of "trust" basically did not exist. Between troops and troops, and between soldiers and soldiers, trust basically did not exist.
Napoleon's famous saying fixed the image of the Cossacks. In fact, the Cossacks took the blame for the Russian army in the Imperial era. The Russian army in the Imperial era was not just the Cossacks, but all the troops were the same. Individual soldiers were extremely powerful, but group operations were in disarray.
, coupled with chaotic command and poor logistics, an underfed stomach, and weapons that can’t even be fired by a man, how powerful can it be in combat?
After the Umbrella reorganization, the Cossacks immediately showed amazing combat effectiveness.
Compared with the Russian Empire, the logistical supply of the Umbrella was a luxury. The officers and soldiers were provided with meat for every meal, sometimes it was beef, sometimes it was chicken, and more often it was anchovies that were abundant in the Sea of Marmara.
These anchovies are not easy to preserve, the meat is not delicious enough, and the taste is not good, but for the Cossacks, carefully cooked anchovies are still a rare delicacy. Compared with the Chinese chef hired by Umbrella, they can only stew potatoes.
The Russian aunt is really unbearable to look back on.
In addition to meat, Umbrella also provides abundant poultry eggs and after-dinner fruits. The supply of coffee is unlimited and available anytime and anywhere.
The most popular thing among Cossacks is vodka, and vodka has therefore become the most popular prize. Whether it is training or games, as long as the vodka is taken out, even the thinnest Cossack will immediately transform into a Homo erectus bear.
After the daily training, instructors will also organize a variety of sports activities to strengthen the team spirit of the soldiers. Tug of war and rugby are the most popular.
Tug-of-war is one of the activities that best reflects teamwork. This sport not only requires good physical strength, but also requires close cooperation among members. The key is that tug-of-war does not have high requirements for the venue. It only requires a rope and can be lifted anytime and anywhere.
, this is very important for the Cossacks of Download.
In fact, the Cossacks prefer rugby. Compared with tug-of-war, rugby is a collision of strength and body. The grunting and heavy banging sound made when the bodies collide can form the most direct stimulation to the Cossacks watching on the sidelines. Whenever
When a football game is held, the stadium will be crowded with spectators, and officers often organize squadron-level confrontations, making every game like a major festival.
In fact, the probability of injury caused by rugby is relatively high. As a result, the hospital was overcrowded in a short period of time. Alexander and Angel had to restrict the rugby game. These Cossacks were really desperate. They broke their ribs during the game and did not want to get off the field.
"Rugby is naturally suitable for the brave Cossacks. This is a sport born because of the Cossacks. We should not restrict it. Even if they are injured during the game, they will have no complaints." On this issue, Alexander and
There are differences between Angels.
"Alexander, our purpose is not to cultivate rugby stars, but to strengthen the sense of teamwork among the soldiers. Sports are only auxiliary." Angel was influenced by Rock and did not like sports very much.
Southern Africa has always been less than enthusiastic about sports.
It’s not that sports are bad, but almost all sports that focus on the body will inevitably become a physical confrontation in the end. Yellow people do not have an advantage in physical confrontation, and even white people do not have an advantage. In the end, physical confrontation
A competition-based arena will become a show for a certain race.
In Southern Africa, the role of sports is only to strengthen the body, and they are not keen on obtaining competition rankings. Southern Africa does not need sports to improve its international status. Sports actually do not help improve its international status.
In another time and space, the 21st century, there are several African countries that have almost monopolized all medals in running events in the world, but almost no one remembers the names of those countries, and even running events have gradually fallen into disfavor.
The most popular event in Southern Africa is the marathon. However, the marathon in Southern Africa only accepts registrations from locals. People from other countries are not eligible to participate. The purpose of cities hosting marathons is for national fitness, not to make marathons a city business card.
.
To put it bluntly, it is wishful thinking to make the marathon a city's business card. I have never heard of any city being famous for its marathon.
"Yes, this month four soldiers have broken ribs because of rugby, two have broken arms, and one has broken a leg. This is still under our strict requirements. If we let it go -" Alexander was also afraid
, the Cossacks are indeed fanatical.
Cossacks are not only passionate about sports, but also about loyalty. The Cossacks in the Russian Empire were not afraid of death when fighting for the Tsar and fought for the Tsar. Now that their loyalty has been replaced by a protective umbrella, they will also fight for the protective umbrella.
In other words, we are fighting for southern Africa.
"Some soldiers hope to take their family members out and send them to Cyprus or southern Africa. Is there any way?" The desire in Alexander's eyes could melt ice.
"It's difficult. Russia is currently at war. If we send people to Russia, the new Russian government may regard it as a hostile act." An Qi is not optimistic. Russians have always been extremely cruel to their enemies. Let's see how they do it.
You know this when it comes to treating Nicholas II.
Nicholas II was still the Russian czar's father.
"Businessmen, we can do it through merchants." Alexander considered that although the new Russian government was at war with the Allied Powers, commercial activities had not completely ceased, as evidenced by the merchant ships plying the Bosporus Strait.
"What to do about the cost issue?" An Qi considered the problem more and more comprehensively. If she wanted to get people out of Russia, it was not enough to rely on enthusiasm. Businessmen are all driven by profit.
Alexander opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
The umbrella will definitely not bear this money. There is no clause in this regard in the umbrella's commitment.
The Cossacks were also unable to afford the expenses. The vast majority of the Cossacks were impoverished. They could only receive a meager salary for serving in the Imperial Russian Army, and they were often deducted by their superiors. Even if they died in battle, they could only receive a meager pension, or
Nothing is gained.
Alexander was unable to afford the expense. In order to maintain the life of this army, Alexander had dispersed his family wealth and was now penniless.
"Wait a little longer, there may be a chance when the situation calms down." An Qi first reassured Alexander that the soldiers' needs in this regard were not urgent.
In troubled times, people's lives are at stake, and when communications are not developed, it is difficult to get in touch with family members, let alone get them out of Russia.
What's more, if the Cossack is willing to take him in, it depends on whether the Cossack's family is willing to leave Russia. The Cossack is not a gypsy who has a home all over the world and wanders around.
Now let alone the Russian mainland, even the Bosporus is not safe. One day in April, a unit stationed on the east coast of the Bosporus was attacked by unidentified armed forces. Two soldiers were killed and four
The soldier was injured.
"We were patrolling at the time, and suddenly we heard fierce gunfire in the woods nearby. The captain was killed on the spot, and the deputy captain was seriously injured. We relied on the cover of the armored vehicles and fought and retreated. Later, the camp was attacked by mortars——
"The injured Sergeant Maxim was sent to Dingyuan Fort for treatment. His injury was minor, while the injuries of the other three people were relatively serious.
"Who did it?" Angel must take revenge. Whether it is the Allied forces or the remaining Ottoman troops, as long as they dare to launch an attack on the umbrella, they will have to bear the consequences.
"It's not clear yet, but most of them are troops led by Kemal." Xue Tai, commander of the 6th Regiment stationed on the east coast of the Bosporus Strait, expressed solemnly. After accepting the reorganization of the Umbrella Company, the Second Mountain Brigade
The garrison on the east coast of the Bosporus was restored.
"Send a telegram to Kemal. I want to get a result. If Kemal doesn't admit it, then I will send troops to advance eastward and drive away all the troops near the Bosporus." Angel was decisive, and the Bosporus
The east coast of the Bosphorus Strait was originally an area controlled by France. However, France suffered heavy losses during the World War and was unable to complete the occupation of the east coast of the Bosporus Strait. Now the east coast of the Bosporus Strait has become an area controlled by the remnants of the Ottoman Empire.
.
Kemal was not the only remnant army of the Ottoman Empire that resisted the rule of the Allies. Kemal was relatively strong, with about 10,000 men under his command.
"In this case, we need more troops to complete the clearing of the Bosporus." Xue Tai lacked strength, and the Sixth Regiment only had less than 3,000 troops.
The basic establishment of the mountain brigade is a team of 12 people, including the captain and deputy captain. The detachment has three teams with a total of 40 people. The formation of the squadron is similar to that of the company, about 130 people, the detachment has 400 people, and the group has about 1,300 people.
"It doesn't matter, I will send the Second Regiment and the Fourth Regiment to support you when the time comes. Ten thousand people are enough to complete the clearing of the east coast of the Bosporus." An Qi is not worried about the strength of the troops. If necessary, An Qi will be there at any time.
More troops can be mobilized from the Mesopotamia to Constantinople.
However, that would arouse the suspicion of the Straits Management Committee, and it would feel really bad to be constrained.
An Qi's worries finally came true, and Kemal denied it and refused to admit that the incident had anything to do with Kemal's troops.
Angel and Alexander did not hesitate and issued the attack order on April 20th.
