Chapter 876 White-Faced Yama

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 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 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 naval bases in East Africa 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 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 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.

Therefore, the Alaska Navy can only be said to be of the same species 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.

Moreover, 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 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.

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, and this is our own decision, so even if there is a problem, we cannot blame you. Moreover, even such a small problem cannot be overcome, so we still treat it as such." What about the navy? The military is a place of hardship. "

This is also what Liu Fulong admires most about Claire and other East African military instructors. They can lead by example and work together as a team. If all the people in the country have this awareness, there is no need to worry that the Far East Empire will not revive again.

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

Guandai is also the position of captain in the Far Eastern Empire Navy. 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 bring to Guandai today? We still have to train in this damn weather. I'm afraid our warships are the ones with the largest amount of training in the entire navy, right?"

White-faced Hell is Claire's nickname among the Far East 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, stop talking. Being a soldier is just about working for the officials. But Lieutenant Claire is right. Only when we are strong can we survive on the battlefield. Don't think that things have been calm in the past few years. In fact, the international situation has been turned upside down. Great Britain and France have been conquering cities and territories all over the world in recent years. Even Lieutenant Claire's country has fought a war with Great Britain. Great Britain and France entered the Bauhinia City in the past. It is inevitable that they will make a comeback in the next few years. According to Claire, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war."

"Wang Fugui, you keep calling Lieutenant Claire. , but you can't get the good of the devil, and you will still get the same torture you deserve. "

"I'm just speaking the truth. Lieutenant Claire doesn't understand the ways of the world, but at least he is willing to train with us. He is much better than those officials who can only talk. No wonder the soldiers led by foreign instructors can win battles. With such instructors, although they are usually not pleasing, they are convinced in their hearts. "

Wang Fugui also said what the Jiaozhou sailors thought. To lead the troops to fight, the officers above must be able to convince the others. As a result, you hide in the back and drink and listen to music, letting these big-headed soldiers fight bloody battles with foreign enemies. Is this reasonable!

Take the European armies for example. Although the noble officers have their own shortcomings, most of them are really good at fighting. Even if the equipment is a little worse, they will not lose miserably.

Among the various voices of the Jiaozhou sailors, Claire did not show any mercy, and Claire believed that it was very necessary to train on board in this weather. 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 handle the changes on the battlefield too badly.

So, at Claire's suggestion, the Jiaozhou Navy "again" went out to sea for training. The reason why it was the word "again" was that the Jiaozhou Navy had the highest attendance rate in the entire Beiyang system, but this navy was the latest to be established in the Beiyang system.

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

Compared with British and German instructors, East African instructors have another huge advantage, that is, there are many people in East Africa who understand Chinese. At least the military personnel sent abroad this time can communicate without obstacles, so they can also have a deeper understanding of the personnel situation of the Far Eastern Navy and formulate more scientific training goals according to the national conditions of the Far Eastern Empire.
