The commander of the new training battalion of the 1st Division was Suo Chao, who had just been knighted.

This time, Southern Africa relied entirely on its own strength to quell the rebellion, and did not let London send a single soldier, and London was very satisfied with this, so it was not stingy with the reward.

This also has something to do with Roque, if it weren't for Roque, the Baron of Nyasaland, it is estimated that the British government would not be so generous.

After the establishment of the new 1st Division, Roque took out a lot of officers and soldiers from the Northern Rhodesia Division to replenish them, hoping that the new 1st Cavalry Division could form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and Suo Chao's current task is to integrate the officers and soldiers of the former Northern Rhodesia Division and the police of the former Johannesburg into one whole in training.

"The quality of these police officers is really good, and in Nyasaland, they are also qualified to join the Northern Rhodesia Division directly." Li Fei, who had also just been knighted, was also transferred by Roque to the newly formed First Cavalry Division, and his current position is the commander of Company A of the training battalion.

Li Fei performed prominently in the suppression of the rebellion, was knighted by the British government, and when he came to the newly formed First Cavalry Division, he was naturally promoted by one rank, and the rank on his shoulders was also promoted from second lieutenant to captain, which was not much faster than that of Roque.

"Nonsense, when the lord established the Northern Rhodesia Division, he used the old team of the former rock gold mine, and the commando team of the Johannesburg Police Department was the henchman trained by the lord, can this be compared?" Suo Chao is an old qualification in the newly formed First Cavalry Division, and he is also one of the first old brothers to follow Roque.

Suo Chao didn't say anything, now the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesia Division, don't look at the outstanding performance in the counterinsurgency this time, when they were in Johannesburg before, they didn't even have the qualifications to join the police commando.

It's a bit hurtful to say this, so Suo Chao still has reservations, but the meaning has been revealed in the words.

"Understood, understood-" Suo Chao didn't have the slightest aristocratic demeanor, just like an old ** with a smile on his face.

As for what you think in your heart, I don't know.

"Is the training syllabus ready?" Suo Chao is also very busy, the new First Cavalry Division is going to set up a company composed of Africans and Boers, and Suo Chao really has no bottom in his heart about the combat effectiveness of Africans and Boers.

In fact, if you look at the Johannesburg Police Department, the performance of Africans and Boers is still good, and if you enter the new 1st Cavalry Division, even if you are not qualified to become the main force, you are also qualified to become an auxiliary force.

In this way, there is a problem, if the Africans and Boers are auxiliary forces, then when the war breaks out, the main force composed of Chinese Americans will charge into battle, while the auxiliary forces composed of Africans and Boers will play soy sauce.

Luo Ke and Suo Chao definitely couldn't allow this kind of thing to happen, once the war broke out, it should be the Africans and Boers who used as cannon fodder to charge into battle, and the main force composed of Chinese followed behind to pick up the bargain.

However, this would be a problem if the number of Africans and Boers would have to be maintained to a certain extent.

According to Roque's plan, in the new First Cavalry Division, the size of the Africans and Boers is now about a platoon, and it may be expanded into a company in the future.

Nominally, Suo Chao is still the deputy commander of the new First Cavalry Division, but in fact, because Luo Ke is busy with work, Suo Chao is presiding over the work of the new First Cavalry Division.

In the past, in Nyasaland, Suo Chao only needed to be in charge of the training of the northern Rhodesian Division, and the other work was Anton and Martin, but now Suo Chao has to preside over the overall work of the new First Cavalry Division, which is inevitably a little inadequate.

"Okay, rest for half an hour after breakfast, and then it's time to train urgently with full armament, today's task is ten kilometers, and the troops dispatched are four companies A, B, C, and D, or the old rules, the losing company must serve everyone at lunchtime." When it comes to work, Li Fei is immediately upright.

The training plans of the Northern Rhodesian Division and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division were absolutely exquisite in this era.

At a time when there was still a distinct class in the armies of European countries, the Northern Rhodesia Division and the newly formed First Cavalry Division were basically able to do the same, even if a nobleman like Li Fei had to accompany the troops when they were training, although they lived in single tents, they were no different from ordinary soldiers in terms of food.

Having said that, Li Fei did not feel superior to himself because he was named "knight", and even Roque was not special in the army, and no one in the Northern Rhodesia Division and the newly formed First Cavalry Division had special qualifications.

The logistics of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division were naturally excellent, and there were enough eggs, duck eggs, milk, and vegetables for breakfast, all of which were collectively procured from agricultural associations; in Johannesburg, these things were now the cheapest, and the officers and men could basically eat them freely.

Half an hour after breakfast, with the order of the officers, the officers and men of the four companies began to carry out preparatory activities and prepare to start the 10-kilometer long-distance training.

This 10-kilometer long-distance training is competitive, and the company-scale zipper is to compete within the company on a platoon basis, and the battalion-level training is to be conducted within the battalion on a company-by-company basis.

This set of things seems to be common in the 21st century, but what still exists in the 21st century has fully demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach.

The soldiers are all young men over 20 years old and under 25 years old, most of these young people have not yet started a family, and they are so energetic that they have almost nowhere to vent, so even though the training is very tiring and the difficulty will continue to increase, no one takes the initiative to admit defeat.

If one person in a company fails to complete it, then the whole company will be punished, and the reason why it is so "unkind" is to enhance the collective consciousness and obedience consciousness of the officers and men, and many units in this era attach great importance to these things, and the biggest gap between them and the northern Rhodesia division and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division is still in weapons and tactics.

When it comes to fighting spirit, Roque actually admires those current soldiers very much, not to mention anything else, let's just say that a "queue to be shot" who was ridiculed by almost the entire Internet group in the 21st century will not be able to do it in the 21st century.

"Pay attention to the rhythm, pay attention to your breathing, keep in formation, if you can't bear it, you have to put it forward immediately, we are a whole, everyone's results must be excellent, this is our battlefield, no matter what the situation on the battlefield, you can't abandon your companions, if our A company is the last one in this training, then we have to serve the other three companies when we eat, they sit and we stand, they eat and we watch, and when they finish eating, we can only eat some leftovers, those bastards are still sneering at us, Believe me, it must be a bad taste-" Li Fei was cheering for the officers and men of Company A, and he also carried a Lee Enfield today and four water bottles filled with water in his backpack, and he was going to train with the troops later.

Speaking of backpacks, this is the latest addition from the Johannesburg Woollen Mill.

Even Roque didn't expect that in this era, there are no backpacks, and when people go out, if they really can't finish their things, they basically use their pockets.

It's hard to imagine that just by changing your mindset and sewing two strings to your pocket, your pocket can become a backpack, but no one can think of it.

The Northern Rhodesia Division and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division now generally use backpacks, and now when the troops are dispatched, bullets and grenades are still carried in the equipment, and those small snacks, sewing kits, and first aid kits are carried in the backpacks.

Strictly speaking, when a soldier is fully armed, the equipment on his body should be about 20 kilograms, this weight includes rifles, and some soldiers will also bring their own pistols, so that the weight is heavier, and with a backpack, it can solve a big problem for the officers and soldiers.

The biggest advantage is that in the future, in the battle, the officers and soldiers can finally capture more trophies.

Half an hour later, with the order of the officers, the red-eyed officers and soldiers who had been stimulated rushed out of the camp with a scream.

At the entrance of the camp happened to be a group of Boer officers and soldiers who had just come to report, they were drawn from the Transvaal colonial army, and they were startled by the shouting officers and soldiers.

In order to gain time, the officers and men of the four companies wanted to set off as soon as possible, so the gate was a little crowded.

The officers of the four companies still tried their best to maintain order and set off in turn according to the battle sequence, but the soldiers were a little impatient, and the officers and men of Company A, who set off first, were a little arrogant, and they inevitably stimulated those officers and men who were waiting.

They are all young men with strong blood, no one can stand this anger, and the officers don't care about it for the sake of confrontation, and some of the officers and soldiers who are waiting for departure will scold.

What should I do if I am scolded?

Of course it's scolding back!

Therefore, the entrance of the camp was a little lively, and the Boer officers and soldiers who had just come to report were a little dumbfounded.

This, this mess is not even as good as the vegetable market, is the legendary Northern Division of Rhodesia?

It was not a mistake, but these Boer officers and soldiers who had just been transferred all knew that the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division was established with the Northern Rhodesian Division as the backbone.

"Li Fei, you lack virtue, if you lose this time, I will see where your face goes!" Company B Commander Jing shouted at Li Fei.

"Want to see Lao Tzu make a fool of himself? No way! Listen to me, if anyone drags everyone back, let me clean the toilet! Li Fei responded loudly.

"Phew! Listen to me, if you can't win today, I'll lead you to clean the toilet together! "Guan Jing is also a ruthless person.

It's also good, anyway, the toilet is cleaned by someone, and it is estimated that the soldier in charge of duty can go crazy.

Fortunately, those Boers could not understand Chinese, otherwise, it is estimated that some people would have retreated now.
