Chapter 876 White Faced Yama
After all, although East Africa’s development is difficult, once the population and land area increase, the size of the economy will naturally increase exponentially. What’s more, East Africa has an early layout in various industries and has taken the lead in many fields. The country's 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 outflow. Within East Africa, these resources naturally directly benefit East Africa, 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 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 herself has also fallen 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 Wrapping up his cotton clothes, he said listlessly: "It's nothing serious. The weather in the 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 arrived in East Africa. There are no severe cold in the winter in East Africa and no scorching heat in the summer. However, they were a little uncomfortable going to high latitudes.”
In other words, the climate in East Africa is too comfortable, just like the various bases of the East African Navy. Generally speaking, none of them are at high latitudes, and 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.
Of course, although Alaska is a typical alpine region, its military sequence has nothing to do with the East African Defense Forces. It has its own system, similar to the local Guards Division, but the Guards Division nominally belongs to the East African Defense Forces sequence.
So the Alaska Navy can only be said to have the same origin as the East African Navy. As for when it will be merged, unless Alaska officially becomes an East African colony or overseas province.
And 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 have a certain ability to protect itself.
"Haha, 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."
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.
As an East African, even Claire does not have a comprehensive understanding of East Africa. After all, the East African government has hardly disclosed much important data. So far, various countries’ data on East Africa have basically relied on speculation, including Land area, population, number of cities, railway mileage, etc.
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 again.
Claire said: "Anyway, these will not delay the military training. It will be fine after you start exercising for a while and your body will be warmed up."
Liu Fulong reminded: "Do you still want to lead the team yourself? No. 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, and this is our own decision, so even if something goes wrong. I can’t blame you, and if we can’t overcome such a small problem, why should we be a navy? The military is a place of hardship.”
This is 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 all 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 really think of yourself as a soldier. Naturally, I, the leader, can't be content with being second to others. I will train the son-in-law myself later. Build a powerful navy in the empire. ”
The captaincy in the Far Eastern Empire Navy is 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 Bai-faced Yama blow to the military belt today? We still have to train in this damn weather. I'm afraid our warships have the largest amount of training in the entire navy, right?"
White-faced Yama is Claire is far away The nickname of Claire among the Eastern Navy soldiers, Claire’s training was harsh, regardless of rank, as long as the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei ship were “tortured” by him, they were like the living king of hell. In addition, Claire is white, so he has a white face. The title of Yama.
“Oh, stop it, being a soldier means working for the officials, but what Lieutenant Claire usually says is not bad. Only when we are strong can we survive on the battlefield. Don’t look at these days. The year has been calm, but in fact, the world has been turned upside down for a long time. In the past few years, Great Britain and France have conquered cities and territories around the world, and this is Lieutenant Clare's country. I also fought a war with Great Britain. Great Britain and France had entered Bauhinia City back then, and it is inevitable that they will make a comeback in the past few years. According to Claire, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war."
"King. Fugui, you, Lieutenant Claire, cannot be as good as Bai-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 Instructor, although usually not pleasing to the eye , but I am convinced."
Wang Fugui can be said to have spoken out what the Jiaozhou sailors were thinking. When leading troops to fight, the officers above must be able to convince the crowd. But you are hiding in the back, drinking and listening to music. Is it reasonable to let these big soldiers fight bloody battles with foreign enemies?
Take those European armies as an example. Although the aristocratic officers each have their own shortcomings, most of them are really good at fighting. When they fight together, even if they have poor equipment, 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 is very necessary. Not only is the weather changeable, but the wind and waves are not small today. If you can adapt to this environment, you will be on the battlefield. If you encounter any changes in life, you won't handle them badly.
So, at Claire's suggestion, the Jiaozhou Navy conducted sea training "again". The reason why it was called "again" was because the Jiaozhou Navy had the highest attendance rate in the entire Beiyang system. This navy 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 not a few people in East Africa who understand Chinese. At least this time, the military personnel dispatched can communicate without barriers, so they are better able to communicate. Gain an in-depth understanding of the personnel situation of the Far East Navy, and formulate more scientific training goals based on the national conditions of the Far East Empire.
