Fortunately, after the formal exercise began, the troops used only blank ammunition. Otherwise, in just a few minutes, the number of casualties may have greatly exceeded the casualty indicators of the exercise.
The leader of the mercenaries is Song Lao Yao, who once received training at the Ministry of War training base. He is one of the founders of the Umbrella Company and is the oldest member of the group around Rock.
The mercenaries are not good at fighting in large groups, but they are very skilled in small team cooperation. Therefore, in order to break through the defense line of the Northern Rhodesian Division, the only advantage is to penetrate through various penetrations.
Although the mercenary organization sounds a bit unremarkable, most of the officers in this mercenary group have received formal training at the Nyasaland Army Academy, and most of the soldiers are from Gorkha, so they are closely related to southern Africa.
There is not much difference between the regular army, which brings more convenience to mercenaries.
Song Lao Mao directly gave up the frontal attack and sent several small teams to make detours. One of them successfully penetrated near the headquarters of the Northern Rhodesian Division before being discovered. Although this did not change the results of the exercise, for Martin, it also
It’s really unacceptable.
"Haha, it was a fluke. We were lucky this time, so we succeeded smoothly. Thank you, Old Ma, for your noble hand -" Song Lao Ma was careless and didn't have much respect for Martin, who was about to become the Deputy Minister of National Defense. After all, they were all colleagues before.
The deputy minister of defense also has to eat, drink, and sleep. Roque is now the deputy minister of defense. He doesn’t wear the same clothes and eat the same food as his old brothers before.
When staying in the military camp, Rocco did not wear any formal uniform. Like Martin, he wore the uniform of a Southern African officer. However, Rocco did not wear a rank mark on his military uniform, but the bright gold star on Martin's shoulder was eye-catching. p>
The uniforms of officers in southern Africa are based on iron gray, with curved-brimmed hats, hunting jackets, wide-leg trousers, and long military boots. They are simple, elegant, smart and capable.
Different from the iron gray color of the army, the mercenary uniforms of the Umbrella Company are khaki, and the style is also very different from that of the regular army. The mercenaries prefer fisherman hats, jackets, overalls, and short military boots, compared with the clothing of the regular army.
, this uniform of mercenaries is more popular among soldiers and civilians in southern Africa.
Yes, many regular officers and soldiers also purchase mercenary uniforms and often wear them when on vacation.
"Don't be complacent, you won't be so lucky next time -" Martin also laughed. In fact, the regular army and mercenaries can be regarded as brotherly armies. Many times, the mercenaries take the blame for things that are inconvenient for the regular army. Martin and Song
The youngest is also an old brother, so there is no bloody tension.
"We are also accumulating experience, and we will directly take over your headquarters next time!" Song Lao did not forget to salute Roque first, and then sat down opposite Martin with a smile.
"How do you feel? Do you still feel that I am the best in the world?" Roque joked casually. In the past few years, the Northern Rhodesian Division has been going smoothly. It is inevitable that many senior officials, including Martin, are a little drifting. Roque has to constantly hammer him. In fact, the reason for smooth sailing has little to do with the level of the officers. If it were Song Lao Yao who served as the commander of the Northern Rhodesia Division, Song Lao Yao could also become the undefeated God of War.
But if you go to Europe, it’s not necessarily true. Although the professional soldiers in Southern Africa are of high quality and the equipment of the troops is also very good, the biggest shortcoming of Southern Africa is still human resources. Now the population of Germany has exceeded 60 million.
, the British mainland has a population of 45 million, and even France has a population of more than 40 million. Southern Africa has more than 3 million square kilometers of territory, but its population is still less than 5 million. The potential for war is indeed
Even if you are a little weak, you can still dominate Africa.
That's why Rock racked his brains to add various advanced weapons and equipment to the troops in southern Africa, hoping to narrow the gap in human resources as much as possible by relying on the generation difference in equipment.
Rock is even considering forming a force composed entirely of indigenous Africans. If the southern African army really wants to be used as cannon fodder, then troops composed of Africans will be sent to participate in the human sea tactics. Anyway, no matter how many Africans die, Rock will not
Heartbroken.
Preparatory work in this area has already begun. In Natal, Basutoland and Swaziland in southern Africa, the War Department is conducting a census. Once the war breaks out, Roque hopes that these three regions will be able to form a census of 100,000 people.
With troops of more than 100,000 people, the population of Africans in Southern Africa will be reduced, and the contribution value will be fully increased within the Allies. By then, Southern Africa will be able to annex Southwest Africa and Tanganyika with greater peace of mind.
"No, my lord, you are the best in the world." Martin smiled playfully. He didn't look like a senior officer in front of Rock, and even the youngest Song looked contemptuous.
"Stop talking nonsense, I am not the best in the world. Don't forget to summarize the experience and lessons learned. The exercise report will be handed over early tomorrow morning." Rock didn't talk nonsense. The experience and lessons were summarized in this way. Rock will forward the exercise report to
Nyasaland Army Academy further improves the "Army Drill Code" in Southern Africa.
"The summary meeting is about to begin. Don't worry, my lord. I'm going to tire out those bastards tonight so that I don't have to see the ugly faces of some villains who succeed." After Martin finished speaking, he gave Song Lao Mao a middle finger.
Then he saluted and turned around.
Rock waited for Martin to leave before asking Zach to bring coffee to Song Lao.
The youngest Song did not dare to neglect, and did not forget to say thank you when receiving the coffee.
Zach smiled without opening his mouth, and his attitude towards Young Song was obviously different from others.
The youngest Song retired from the police station because his leg was blown off. However, the youngest Song did not give up on his own requirements. He wore prosthetic limbs and insisted on participating in military training, and his results were not bad.
The dozen or so people who were trained at the Ministry of War training base have now become members of the management of Umbrella and Bullard. They are also very successful. Although they have various physical disabilities, they are all disabled.
Jian, everyone’s position is very important and basically irreplaceable.

Rock was also very kind to these old brothers and did not abandon them like the British government. He not only trained these old brothers to find jobs again, but also helped them get married and settle down in Johannesburg or Nyasaland.
In fact, this is also a demonstration. The power of examples is infinite. In southern Africa, whether they are regular troops or mercenaries, their morale is very high. They fight bravely to take the lead and do not care about what happens behind them.
Because they know very well that even if they die in battle, Rock will take good care of their family.
Therefore, for many Gorkha soldiers, dying in battle in southern Africa is a very cost-effective thing. If they die in battle, their family will get a farm with a large area and enjoy tax-free treatment within a certain area.
, their children will also receive monthly pensions from the Department of Defense until they reach adulthood.
Even if you are disabled, you can live a good life in Nyasaland. Many departments and agencies of the Nyasaland State Government are happy to recruit these disabled people who have retired from the army due to injuries. These people work responsibly and cherish their time here.
It is a hard-earned job opportunity, and they are very vigilant at work and will not have any problems with their loyalty, especially in the security forces, where there is a great demand for these people.
"How about being at the umbrella?" Luo Ke casually chatted with Song Lao Yao.
"It's very good. The job is free and the benefits are constant. I haven't spent any salary from the company. I keep it all in Rand Bank. I plan to buy a farm in Bechuanaland in a few years. It doesn't matter even if there is no output. It is considered a good thing."
Save some wife money for your son." Song Lao is very satisfied with the current environment.
There is indeed no dissatisfaction. Nyasaland has been immigrating from the Qing Dynasty over the years. From the mouths of those immigrants, the Chinese in Nyasaland know the situation in the Qing Dynasty very well.
The people are almost in dire straits. Compared with the happy life in southern Africa, one is really a paradise and the other is a hell.
"How many children are there?" Roque gestured to Zach to prepare dinner. There are also levels in the military camp. The officers all have small stoves. Roque also brought a chef with him. However, this was not arranged by Roque. Now Roque doesn't care at all.
Zach is responsible for these little things.
"Three, one a year, two sons and one daughter. My wife is pregnant again now. Judging from the size of her belly, she might be twins -" Song's youngest just burst into laughter when he said this.
Three children are rare in southern Africa. The average family in southern Africa starts with five or six children. The proportion of newborn babies is particularly high in Nyasaland, so kindergartens and primary schools are being added everywhere to cope with the increasing number of children.
The raging baby boom.
Corresponding to Nyasaland, in Natal, Basutoland and Swaziland, population growth has stagnated. In the past, colonial governments ignored the population growth of Africans.
If it increases, the colonial government will get more labor force, so the colonial government will even be happy to see the results.
Now the situation has improved a lot. Although the federal government still doesn't care about the population of Africans, various places including Nyasaland refuse Africans to settle. Therefore, many African adults are leaving Natal and Pakistan.
While working in Sutoland and Swaziland, he had to live separately from his wife, and could not even see each other for two or three years. This effectively slowed down the population growth rate of Africans.
It may sound inhumane, but for the future of southern Africa, Rock has to do this.
In fact, the benefits of doing so are also great. Johannesburg took the lead in becoming the first city in Southern Africa without slums. Without those rows of thatched houses, Johannesburg's city appearance instantly improved to a higher level, becoming the most European city in Southern Africa.
.
Of course, other city management can also see the changes in Johannesburg. Since Johannesburg has eliminated slums and has not affected economic development, they must follow suit.
