525 is really not arrogant
Christian looked at everyone in front of him viciously, as if they were all vampires.
As the top wealthy man in southern Africa, Christian has a private guard comparable to the army, in order to better protect himself and his family's safety, Christian spares no effort on the issue of the guard, more salary, better equipment, better treatment, in order to ensure the loyalty of the members of the guard, Christian even arranges the family members of the guard to work in his own company and live in his own estate.
Built to do so, Christian's personal guard is as elite as the professional soldiers of southern Africa.
Compared with the members of the Guards, these East Indian Chinese, who had just been trained in Medan, were almost like toddlers, and they really did not deserve such good treatment.
The whole box of rifles still exudes the smell of fresh gun oil, the military boots that wrap the ankles can provide the greatest protection for the soldiers, the brand-new military uniforms are several sets at a time, and the training uniforms can only be worn during training and combat, and they must wear regular clothes when they leave the barracks, and they are not allowed to be barefoot under any circumstances, in Christian's words, take Christian's things, and the lives of these recruits will be sold to Christian, which is Christian's private property, Christian would never allow his personal property to be damaged.
"Mr. Andy-" Li Wan and Ling Zhi didn't expect Christian to be so domineering, and they deprived Li Wan and Ling Zhi of the command of their troops as soon as they came to Medan, but they didn't dare to go to Christian, so they had to go to Andy for help.
"Don't worry, the ownership of the troops is still yours, Mr. Christian wants the command of the troops during this time, and when the Dutch are driven away, Mr. Christian will return the army to you." Andy doesn't believe what he says, and Christian is also a famous Pixiu in southern Africa, the kind that can only enter but not leave.
Don't look at Christian as "charitable" on weekdays, it is only limited to Nyasaland, and Christian has no reservations about Roque, and that is because Christian knows that as long as he contributes to Nyasaland, Roque will give him more benefits.
Otherwise, why don't you see Christian go to Ade and Philip to pay their respects?
"Mr. Andy, you misunderstood, we have no opinion on Mr. Christian, originally one of us was a businessman, the other was a landlord, and we didn't know how to march and fight, but now Mr. Christian has taken over to make the best use of our talents, we heard that Mr. Christian is a big businessman in southern Africa-" Li Wan and Ling Zhi have different plans, the east is not bright and the west is bright.
"It's a simple question." Andy has taken care of everything, since he has taken away the military power of Li Wan and Ling Zhi, he has to compensate Li Wan and Ling Zhi from other aspects.
Specifically, Li Wan obtained the right to sell goods in the East Indies, and Ling Zhi was responsible for purchasing various materials needed in Southern Africa for Christian and Adan Company.
As a raw material source created by the Dutch government, the East Indies do have a lot of good things, natural rubber and oil are the first to bear the brunt, coffee and cane sugar are also good, palm oil production is getting higher and higher, and has become an important palm oil producing area in the world, which are all necessary raw materials for the development of industry in southern Africa.
It is a little regrettable that the East Indies are actually rich in all kinds of precious timber, as well as tin, aluminum, nickel, iron, copper, tin, gold, silver and other non-ferrous metals, but these things are not rare in southern Africa, and even the reserves in southern Africa are higher and better quality than those in the East Indies, so southern Africa is not very dependent on these resources.
However, Southern Africa does not need it, it does not mean that other countries do not need it, looking at the world, except for southern Africa, which is vast and sparsely populated and rich in products, which country does not need non-ferrous metals?
The European countries, which are in the midst of an arms race, simply want as much as they want, and the prices they offer are getting higher and higher.
Otherwise, the Dutch would not have been able to live such a nourishing life with the help of the East Indies.
Now this part of the interests are owned by Adan Company.
At least around Medan.
Christian didn't care about these "small profits" and drove out the Dutch as soon as possible, so Christian even hired two instructors from the Nyasaland Army Academy with high salaries to serve as the commander of the newly established Medan Rebel Army and the chief of the general staff.
The commander was Spike Dobin, a former senior instructor at the Nyasaland Army Academy, who had served in the German army and fought in the Franco-Prussian War.
The chief of the general staff is called Alan Jennings, who has dual experience at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and the Army Academy in Nyasaland, and is a senior staff officer, who has been engaged in staff work for more than 30 years and has rich teaching experience, but has never been in actual combat.
When these two came to the East Indies, they each brought a dozen students, all of whom were cadets of the Nyasaland Army Academy, of course, their names are no longer in the Nyasaland Army Academy, and their personal files were taken directly by the Brad Office, and they are now overseas employees of the Brad Office.
In other words, these people, including Spike Dorbin and Alan Jennings, are now employees of Umbrella Corporation.
Compared to other Umbrella Company mercenaries, Spike Dobbin and Alan Jennings are both standard academics, and the Umbrella Company mercenaries who serve as instructors are all wild, but this does not affect the cooperation between the Academy and Wild Roads.
The academic school is a regular army, which is methodical at a glance, good at strong suppression on the frontal battlefield, and the basic work is extremely solid.
The wild road is imaginative, no matter what method is used, it is justice to win, the two groups are actually somewhat complementary, and they have some complementary meanings.
On 1 June, the East Indian Servant Army crossed Lake Doba and continued its assault on Medan.
In fact, since the arrival of the East Indian Servant Army in Lake Toba, it has been under the surveillance of the air force in the port of Medan, and as a result, the aircraft has become evidence of the Dutch government's attack on southern Africa and interference in the internal affairs of the East Indies.
The Federal Government of Southern Africa prepared the argument early on that the planes were bought by the East Indians themselves, the pilots were hired by the East Indians themselves, and they had nothing to do with Southern Africa, and that Nyasaland Air was a commercial company, and their actions were in line with commercial standards and did not violate the laws of the British Government and the Federal Government of Southern Africa, so the Federal Government of Southern Africa could not restrict the actions of Nyasaland Airlines.
This explanation was clearly not satisfactory to the Dutch, and while Italy and the Ottoman Empire could also buy planes from Nyasaland, they could not hire pilots from Nyasaland, as the whole world knew.
However, the Dutch were helpless, and the Dutch believed that the Nyasaland government interfered in the internal affairs of the East Indies, and that it was necessary to produce corresponding real evidence before they could apply to the federal government of southern Africa for investigation.
To the frustration of the Dutch, the Minister of Justice of the Federal Government of Southern Africa is Henry, and the Deputy Minister is Roque, so I know with my toes whether the Ministry of Justice will do its best.
While the Dutch government and the federal government of Southern Africa were engaged in a legal battle, the Medan rebels had already begun to fight back against the East Indian servants.
Considering that the Medan troops have not yet completed their training, this counterattack is mainly carried out by the mercenaries of the umbrella company, and the Medan troops will also be dispatched to feel the fighting atmosphere in advance.
According to the information provided by the pilot, the 2nd East India Division was advancing along Lake Toba towards Medan, because Lake Toba was now under the control of the Medan forces, so the 2nd East India Division behaved like mercenaries fighting outside the country, burning and looting along the way, and on the first day of its arrival at Lake Toba, it ransacked many plantations and residential areas on the shores of Lake Toba, and forcibly recruited plantation workers and coastal residents as military laborers.
As a result, as the troops deepened, the size of the Second Division became larger and larger, and by the time it reached Lake Toba, the total number of troops, including the laborers accompanying the army, had exceeded 10,000.
However, the combat effectiveness of the troops does not have much to do with the number of troops, not to mention the training situation of the Second Division of the East Indias, the situation of weapons and equipment is quite poor, the Dutch are indeed blindly plundering the East Indies, and there is simply no investment in the slightest, the single-shot rifles that have been eliminated in southern Africa are actually advanced weapons in the Second Division of the East Indies, and only less than ordinary soldiers are equipped with single-shot rifles, and the remaining weapons are varied, so that those staff officers and cadets of the Nyasaland Army Academy cannot recognize the model at all.
"Like a flintlock pistol?"
"It's like, but the flintlock pistol has been eliminated for decades, how can the Second East Indian Division also be the regular army of the East India, is it still equipped with flintlock guns?"
"What's strange about this, it's only been a few decades, and the flintlock pistol hasn't been completely eliminated in Europe, don't measure these colonial servant armies by the military strength of our southern Africa."
A group of young staff officers took photos of the plane to discuss, the cameras of these years are very sloppy, in fact, they are all blind guesses, even if they can barely distinguish that it is a rifle, they can't distinguish the specific model.
"Gentlemen, stop discussing those meaningless photographs, your latest work, how many troops will be needed if we are to completely annihilate the 2nd East Indian Division?" Chief of Staff Alan Jennings assigns tasks as part of the teaching content.
Staff officers immediately performed their duties, and modern military operations are a very complicated system, and the composition of combat units, the routes on which troops are transferred, the supplies that need to be carried, and the delivery of follow-up materials are all the work contents of staff officers, and the role of staff departments in modern armies is becoming more and more important.
Soon, more than a dozen staff officers came to the answer that if it was a mercenary from the umbrella company, then only 2,000 people would be needed to completely annihilate the 2nd East India Division.
