The world war is ongoing. In order to better boost morale, more soldiers are called for enlistment. Grand commemorative activities are being held in various parts of the Allied Powers, including southern Africa.
In southern Africa, officers and soldiers who have performed outstandingly in battle and have been awarded medals of heroism and above have statues built for them in their hometowns, and all expenses are borne by the local government.
All walks of life in Southern Africa have also taken action. Businesses and governments have organized visits to the homes of the fallen officers and soldiers. Staff from the Rifle Association are collecting donations for frontline officers and soldiers on the streets. Primary and secondary school students have donated their pocket money. Farmers are the most generous. They themselves
I don't want to eat beef, so now I am donating the whole live cow to the expeditionary force in order to let the soldiers eat the freshest beef.
Soldiers who were injured and retired in Europe last year have returned to southern Africa. Wherever they go, they are cheered and applauded like heroes. What awaits them are flowers and kisses from beautiful women. Federal governments at all levels provide them with living subsidies. Major major universities
Enterprises are willing to provide them with job opportunities, educational institutions including Nyasaland University are willing to provide them with free continuing education, and restaurant owners are willing to provide them with free dining services. They can also work in Tanganyika and Southwest Africa.
The Veterans Association is the most active in purchasing high-quality farms at low prices. Together with the Rifle Association, they have become the two groups with the largest number of veterans in southern Africa.
Umbrella companies are not counted. Umbrella companies are commercial companies. Veterans Associations and Rifle Associations are both non-profit organizations. Only military personnel can participate in the former, while everyone is eligible to participate in the latter.
On the island of Lemnos, in order to commemorate the soldiers of various countries who died in the Battle of the Dardanelles, Roque ordered the erection of these monuments, and the names of all the officers and soldiers buried here were engraved on the tombstones for future generations to pay tribute to. The cost was
Paid by the Mediterranean Expeditionary Forces Command.
The camp for wounded soldiers waiting to be transported was filled with a sad atmosphere. Many wounded soldiers who had had their limbs amputated felt as if they were dead. They lay on stretchers, staring at the sky with dull eyes, and sometimes did not say a word for a whole day.
Although they are very pitiful, they are lucky compared with those seriously injured and wrapped like mummies. It is difficult for these "mummies" to move their heads. Solving physiological problems is a huge problem. Some people would rather die.
He didn't even let the little nurse take off his pants, and would rather let the masons help.
Don't get me wrong, I'm just going to the toilet.
In the heavy atmosphere, occasionally someone would break down and yell. At this time, the nurses would come over to comfort them softly and give them the best care. However, this was not the best way. A British soldier with a savage face discovered
A new method was developed to directly knock out the emotionally broken guy so that they would be quiet for a while.
Nurses are affectionately called "angels" or "goddess" by the wounded soldiers. Sometimes a smile from a nurse can make a poor guy giggle all day long. If a nurse is willing to sit down and chat with the wounded soldiers,
, the surroundings will soon be surrounded by various wounded soldiers hanging on their arms and leaning on crutches. Some nurses are not good at joking to adjust the atmosphere, but even a bad joke can make the wounded soldiers around them burst out with enough to cover up.
The roar of cannons and laughter in the distance.
"I'm not worried about being injured at all. This injury is nothing to me. I can go home to heal like a hero, and maybe there will be beautiful women throwing themselves into my arms -" There are always some unflattering guys.
Like, a guy with only an injured butt but no broken bones is waiting for transport like other wounded people. His injury is the most despicable. Guys with back injuries are not treated in the wounded barracks.
See.
Being injured is a very tragic thing for soldiers, but if the injury is not serious, then it is a very lucky thing. British soldiers call this kind of injury "going home to recuperate", and German soldiers call this kind of injury "going home to recuperate".
"Signal to go home", no matter which one, "go home" is the key point.
"John, you really shouldn't say that. If it were me, I wouldn't like people like you. I prefer William. He is a strong hero." The young nurse came from southern Africa. In order to facilitate her care, she
Having short, ear-length hair is not more beautiful with big waves.
However, this does not affect the wounded soldiers' love for the little nurse. For the wounded soldiers, the little nurse is their common goddess. There was once a wounded soldier who was arrogant and the little nurse said a few words that were too much, and ended up being raped by other soldiers.
The wounded soldiers joined forces to beat him, and as a result his injuries worsened. It is said that he was sent to the "Seraph" hospital ship.
No one knows exactly where he was sent. Some people say that the damn guy was buried directly in the cemetery. When the coffin lid was closed, he was still breathing and begging the gravedigger to let him go.
Deserve it!
Unlike the lively John, William's injuries were very serious. When he was sent to the field hospital, he suffered multiple injuries. William's lung was pierced by a bullet and one third of it was cut off. Two doctors and three nurses cooperated
, it took four hours to snatch William back from the hands of death. This was a field hospital in southern Africa. If it were a field hospital of the British and French allied forces, the doctors would not perform this kind of surgery at all.
This kind of surgery is too difficult and the success rate is too low. One surgery requires the cooperation of several people and is too time-consuming. Under normal circumstances, it would not be sent to the hospital at all.
What's more, William's military rank is only sergeant major. Although sergeant major has high prestige among soldiers, for officers, sergeant major is just a position.
Hearing what the little nurse said, William smiled hard, and looked at the little nurse with grateful eyes.
"I'll recover well when I get to Cyprus. If I have the chance to meet Lord Nyasaland, say thank you for me. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have been buried in some unknown wilderness." A leg
The wounded British soldiers were in a cheerful mood. Within the hierarchical British army, there were few generals like Roque who still respected ordinary soldiers.
That's right, it's respect. Although the king was very polite to the soldiers when he inspected the front line, politeness was just polite, and it felt completely different from respect.
"Zelda, have you met Lord Nyasaland?" A young Anzac soldier is curious about everything in southern Africa. It is also a colony. In the current British Commonwealth, southern Africa has a significantly higher status.
In Australia and New Zealand.
You must know that when Australia became autonomous, the federal government of Southern Africa had not yet been established.
"Yes, I have met not only Lord Nyasaland, but also Lady Nyasaland and the two young barons. Lady Nyasaland will attend the annual graduation ceremony of our Johannesburg Medical College.
, Mrs. Nyasaland is the main donor to the Johannesburg Medical College and the honorary dean of our Johannesburg Medical College." Zelda's face was full of pride, and her big eyes were shining with dazzling light.
"I heard that Lord Nyasaland and Mrs. Capet have a very close relationship -" a British wounded soldier said with gossip on his face. The combination of British men and French women always makes the British talk about it, as if this is for Britain.
Just like trying to win glory.
Everything really needs to be compared.
"Don't talk nonsense. In our southern Africa, Mrs. Capet is very respected, especially us women. Mrs. Capet is the idol of all of us." Zelda seemed angry, but she was still very cute when she was angry.
, so annoying.
Ada is the first female minister in southern Africa, which is of great significance to women in southern Africa. Countless women who are unwilling to be content with their families regard Ada as their idol and hope to play a more important role.
"After I recover from my injury, I must go to southern Africa to see -" William spoke with difficulty and his voice was a bit hoarse. Every time he spoke a word, the injury to his lungs would cause heartbreaking pain.
"I know, I know, if you don't talk too much now, it will affect the recovery of the injury -" Zelda had a sad look on her face, very worried about William's injury.
With an injury like William's, even if he was sent to Cyprus, he would be in great danger and the recovery period would be very long. Even after recovery, he would not be able to return to the battlefield.
"You don't have to worry. The same goes for you. If it's inconvenient to live in Europe, you can go to Southern Africa. In Southern Africa, you can live like normal people and work like normal people." Zelda's words gave the injured soldier a sense of relief.
With their great confidence, more wounded soldiers immediately gathered around. The military police not far away noticed the situation here, and after walking over, they also listened quietly.
"What kind of work can I do with such an injury?" A wounded soldier with both legs amputated looked confused. When he returns to his hometown with such an injury, he will definitely become a burden to his family.
"As long as it's a job that doesn't require running around, Nyasaland Military Industrial Group has many assembly workshops. All jobs don't require running around. You sit on a chair and wait for the conveyor belt to deliver the required parts.
Just send the parts over. You can't even assemble a rifle, right?" Zelda was simply surprised. This is common sense in southern Africa. Many people work on the assembly line and sit there all day long. The production line supervisor likes this the most.
Plant workers.
"Of course I can assemble a rifle -" the wounded soldier with both legs amputated was overjoyed. It was a joke that the soldier couldn't assemble a rifle.
"That's alright, I'll go find the Quartermaster later and they'll register your name -" Zelda took the initiative to help, which is part of the Quartermaster's job.
That night, the news spread throughout the wounded camp.
Three days later, the entire Mediterranean Expeditionary Force knew that the wounded soldiers would also be well taken care of in southern Africa.
Many wounded soldiers are still in field hospitals and are asking through which channel they should immigrate to southern Africa. Frontline officers and soldiers seem to be fighting more bravely.
Soldiers are really not afraid of death, but they are afraid of not being able to survive and not being able to die.
