Chapter 876： White-faced Yama

Chapter 876 Yama with a White Face

After all, although East Africa's development is difficult, its economic size will naturally increase exponentially as its population and land area increase. What's more, East Africa has an early layout in various industries, seizes opportunities in many fields, and its national financial situation is not even worse than that of many older countries. .

The advantage of established countries is that they have a long history of development and have accumulated a lot of wealth. Although East Africa has not had time to accumulate wealth, East Africa itself also has its own advantages, that is, the African continent has hardly been developed before, so there is basically no flow out of East Africa. These resources naturally This directly made East Africa cheaper, especially high-value mineral resources such as gold and diamonds.

…

In early spring, the weather in Jiaozhou alternates between warm and cold. Although flowers are already blooming in some areas, for the Jiaozhou sailors, this weather is simply more torturous than the cold winter.

When the seasons change, many local people can't stand it, not to mention the military instructors in East Africa. Claire himself also fell into the trap.

“Yawn…”

Liu Fulong asked worriedly: "Lieutenant Claire, I'm afraid you are infected with the cold. Can your body bear it?"

Claire wrapped herself in a cotton coat and said listlessly: "It's nothing serious. The weather in your Far East is unpredictable, so I didn't get used to it for a while. In fact, I also had such weather in Württemberg (Germany) when I was a child, but Later, the family went to East Africa. There are no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer in East Africa, but it was a bit uncomfortable to go to a high latitude place. "

In other words, the climate in East Africa is too comfortable. Take the various bases of the East African Navy as an example, none of them are at high latitudes. The northernmost North Hawaii and South Ryukyu Islands are also tropical.

Moreover, these two places are not very friendly to the navy, including Lanfang Overseas Province and the eastern islands of East Africa. They both have a typical tropical rainforest climate and are quite hot. On the contrary, coastal port bases such as the home port of Bagamoyo are affected by the African continent. The overall climate is relatively comfortable.

As an East African, even Claire does not have a comprehensive understanding of East Africa. After all, the East African government has rarely disclosed much important data. So far, various countries' data on East Africa have basically relied on guesswork, including land area, population, and cities. Quantity, railway mileage, etc.

Liu Fulong has some understanding of East Africa, but it is not comprehensive. After all, in this era, East Africa is like bamboo shoots that have just emerged from the ground. Not many people know about it. If it were not for the impact of the South African War, East Africa might be the most popular place in the world. Its popularity among the world's people is not as good as that of some small countries.

Of course, although Alaska is a typical alpine region, its military sequence has nothing to do with the East African National Defense Force. It has its own system, similar to the local Guards Division, but the Guards Division nominally belongs to the East African National Defense Force sequence.

So the Alaska Navy can only be said to be of the same origin as the East African Navy. As for when it will be merged, it will be unless Alaska officially becomes a colony or overseas province of East Africa.

Furthermore, the Alaska Navy only has a few fishing boats, which is not important at all. After all, it is difficult to support Alaska in East Africa. It is better to develop more land forces and still have a certain ability to protect itself.

"Hehe, East Africa is similar to the southernmost part of our continent. There is no winter there. We occasionally go south to participate in some military exercises or exchanges and other activities when we have the opportunity."

The sudden rise of East Africa is both familiar and unfamiliar to many countries, including the East African governments. They need to adapt. After all, in ten or twenty years, East Africa may be completely different.

Claire said: "Anyway, these won't delay military training. Once you start exercising, your body will be warmed up."

Liu Fulong reminded: "Do you still want to lead the team yourself? Don't show off. If something goes wrong with you instructors, we won't be able to explain it to the East African government." Claire waved her hand and said: "The relationship between our government and your country is already relatively friendly. In addition, this is our own decision, so even if something goes wrong, we can’t blame you, and if we can’t overcome such a small problem, why should we be a navy? The military is a hard place.”

This is also what Liu Fulong admires the most about Claire and other East African military instructors. They can lead by example and integrate the upper and lower ranks. If the people in the country have this awareness, there is no need to worry that the Far Eastern Empire will not revive again.

So, he restrained his attitude and said seriously: "Lieutenant Claire, you guys are really serious about being a soldier. Naturally, I, as a leader, can't be content with others. I will personally train my sons and build a strong navy for the empire."

The captaincy in the Far Eastern Empire Navy is also the position of captain. After all, it is an ancient civilization, and the military system of the Far Eastern Empire has distinct historical heritage characteristics.

…

Claire and Liu Fulong have good intentions and good intentions, but it is difficult to resonate with the lower-level sailors.

"What kind of evil wind did White Faced Yama bring to Guandai today? We still have to train in this **** weather. I'm afraid our warships have the largest training volume in the entire navy, right?"

White-faced Hell is Claire's nickname among the Far Eastern sailors. Claire's training was rigorous, regardless of rank. As long as the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei ship were "tortured" by him, they were like a living Hell. In addition, Claire is white. Hence the title White-faced Yama.

"Oh, don't talk about it. Being a soldier means working for the officials. But what Lieutenant Claire usually says is good. Only when we are strong can we save our lives on the battlefield. Regardless of the calm situation in the past few years, in fact, in the international The world has been turned upside down for a long time. In the past few years, Great Britain and France have been conquering cities and territories all over the world. Even Lieutenant Clare's country has also fought against Great Britain. Great Britain and France had entered Bauhinia City back then. It is inevitable that these few The annual meeting is back, and according to Claire, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime.”

“Wang Fugui, as a Lieutenant Claire, you are not as good as the White-faced Yama, and you will suffer a lot of torture.”

"I'm just being reasonable. Lieutenant Claire doesn't understand the ways of the world, but at least he's willing to train with us. But he's much better than those officers who can only talk. It's no wonder that the soldiers led by foreign instructors can win battles. With this Although the instructor is usually not pleasing to the eye, he is convinced in his heart.”

Wang Fugui also said what the Jiaozhou sailors were thinking. When leading troops to fight, the officers above must be able to convince the crowd. As a result, you hide in the back, eat wine and listen to music, and let them, the big soldiers, fight **** battles with foreign enemies. This is reasonable. What!

Take those European armies as an example. Although aristocratic officers each have their own shortcomings, most of them are really good at fighting. Even if the generals are in a den, even if the equipment is poor, they will not be completely defeated.

Among the various voices of the Jiaozhou sailors, Claire showed no mercy at all, and Claire believed that shipboard training in this kind of weather was very necessary. Not only was the weather changeable, but the wind and waves were not small today. If you can adapt to this environment, you will not encounter changes on the battlefield. It will be handled very poorly.

Therefore, at Claire's suggestion, the Jiaozhou Navy conducted sea training "again". The reason why it is called "again" is because the Jiaozhou Navy has the highest attendance rate in the entire Beiyang system, but this navy is distributed in It was established the latest in the Beiyang system.

This also resulted in the formation of a unique "East African" faction within the Far Eastern Empire Navy. According to the nationality of the instructors, there were also the "British" faction and the "German" faction.

East African instructors also have a huge advantage over British and German instructors, that is, there are many people in East Africa who understand Chinese. At least the military personnel assigned this time can communicate without any barriers, so they can also have a deeper understanding of the Far East Navy. Based on the personnel situation and the national conditions of the Far Eastern Empire, more scientific training goals will be formulated.
