A genius remembers the site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? Conscription is difficult, although it is a headache, it can be solved by finding a solution. The next training is really troublesome.
It doesn't matter if the language is different. German and Bulgarian are both major languages of this era. There are many people who know these two languages. It is not difficult to get a translation.
The real headache is the jungle battle. It is unrealistic to go directly to the rainforest in Southeast Asia to train. If you meet the rebels in advance, you will be the same as the British.
If you can’t go to the rainforests of Southeast Asia for training, you can only conduct initial training in the Balkan Mountains. After completing the basic training, go to the African jungle for actual combat training, and finally go to Southeast Asia for the final training.
It can be said that Bulgaria has done the most adequate in the preliminary preparations.
Neither the Dutch nor the British have done so much training.
Now their attitude towards this rebellion is two extremes, either dismissive or fear. It can be said that psychological factors are the biggest problem for the British and Dutch armies.
Knowing that, Ferdinand did not mean to remind them. Without the support of his colleagues, how could the strength of the Bulgarian army be highlighted?
The worse the performance of the British army, the more bottomless the London government's heart, and even many politicians will directly equate the British army with waste.
This is very useful for Bulgaria's activities in international politics in the future. As long as you think of the poor performance of the British Secretary of the Army, the London government can't help thinking twice.
If the media advocates again and instills this awareness into the hearts of the British people, then the future British Empire will not want to make a difference.
A cannon fodder, is anyone willing to participate? Without a sufficient army, it would be very good for the British to keep their existing colonies. If they want to interfere in international affairs, they can only rely on the navy.
Once the navy is over, the British Empire will collapse. This is an invisible plot, just waiting for the final fermentation.
As soon as the conscription work was over, General Christoph began to have a headache. He had to select enough officers from these recruits.
Fortunately for high-ranking officers, he can do a few retired generals to get them out of the mountain. It is also easy for basic-level officers. There are also a large number of veterans and basic-level officers in these recruits. Only middle-level officers are not available.
The military is a place to look at its achievements. It hasn't been long since the end of the world war. The new generation of officers after the world war has not yet grown up, and these middle and high-level officers in the world war are all meritorious officials.
Most of these people have gained a lot, not to mention their wealth, at least they have also become the middle class. It is difficult for mercenaries to attract them.
The lack of mid-level officers is only one aspect. The next jungle combat training is even more troublesome.
The Bulgarian army has no experience in large-scale operations in Southeast Asia, and these instructors can only be drawn from the colonial forces.
Looking at the list of weapons reported from below, Admiral Christoph was almost fainted, as if he was back hundreds of years ago.
Crossbow arrows have all appeared in the equipment, in addition to flamethrowers, field sabers equipped by colonial forces and so on.
The most pitfall is the jungle field map. If he had this thing, he would have sent it down a long time ago. Does he need to ask?
In the end he had to make a regretful decision. Even if the main force of the rebels was defeated, even if the task was completed and the jungle payment was so "easy", it would be left to the Dutch army behind!
Anyway, for the Dutch government, as long as the city is recovered, it can give the people an explanation. They have never really ruled the jungle.
When the time comes, they will support the new tribal leaders and use the locals to beat the locals.
The cost of fighting in the jungle is too great. The key factor in determining victory is not the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but the geographical conditions are more important.
No matter how trained the Bulgarian army is, it is impossible to be more familiar with the topography of the Southeast Asia than the locals.
Terrain, climate, vegetation, and local creatures can all become helpers of the rebels and enemies of mercenaries.
Don't even see the shadow of the rebels. If the poisonous insects and dysentery fell on the ground, it would be embarrassing.
...
There is not only one person who is also worried about this. The new British commander-in-chief of Southeast Asia, General Wavell, is also facing the same problem.
Even his troubles are even greater. These British soldiers are not so obedient. The training has just begun, and they "fell ill" one after another!
It's not that one person or two people are sick. Everyone is sick in an organized system. A group and a teacher are sick.
The number of British soldiers in Southeast Asia has fallen ill, has exceeded 200,000, and is still growing!
If this is really ill, then General Wavell does not need to consider going to quell the rebellion. He will go home in advance and the British Empire will give up Southeast Asia.
The real reason is cruel. The British officers and soldiers collectively resisted the training plan developed by Wavell, so they fell ill from the beginning of the training.
The law does not blame the public, and the same applies here. It is impossible for Wavell to use military law against so many people, or even to kill chickens and monkeys. Those old soldiers who are not good will be mutiny.
Intimidation and temptation, no effect at all, it reflects that people want to go home a long time ago, if illness can make them mention retirement~EbookFREE.me~ maybe more people are sick now.
If it were not for compulsory military service, the London government would have long been unable to send troops. You must know that this is the rainforest of Southeast Asia, and the casualty rate of fighting here is quite high!
Don’t expect surrender to be safe. Once they enter the jungle, at least they must be able to survive the dysentery, otherwise they will die. The rebels will not be able to provide them with effective medical assistance.
If this Southeast Asian colonial rebellion did not involve too many political factors, the losses now are enough to cause the London government to abandon this colony.
As a master of troop training, General Wavell was also very powerful when he encountered a group of soldiers who resisted training!
No way, who makes it the rainy season now? It rains almost every day in Southeast Asia, and the British Army has never had a tradition of training in the rain.
Once in a while, they can still insist, just to promote to the outside world how hard they train, but training in the rain every day, which exceeds their capacity.
You know, at the beginning of Wavell's training, many British officers and soldiers couldn't help but fell. One of the hapless ones who fell ill was also infected with dysentery, and the last one screamed.
After a few unlucky people died, the British army fryed the pot. No matter what order the commander gave, they were passive and sabotaged, and they seemed to be non-violent and uncooperative.
General Wavell didn't dare to use powerful methods, he didn't want to be shot in the back.
In the end, we could only reach a compromise with the soldiers. When it rains, we will have a holiday and rest. Normal training will be carried out on a sunny day. But God knows how many sunny days can be in the rainy season in Southeast Asia!
Once the rainy season is over, they must launch a counterattack. The politicians in London can't take care of their difficulties, and domestic political pressure can't help dragging on the war.
