The Gurkha troops have now passed the most basic formation training and have begun to work on some of the more complex projects.

Formation and platoon training looks meaningless, in fact, it is the obedience of the soldiers, which is not a problem for the Gurkha soldiers, the Gurkha soldiers can be the best obedient soldiers in the world, and the Chinese soldiers will instinctively think about the fastest way to complete the combat mission when accepting the combat mission, the Gurkha soldiers will not, what is the combat mission they receive, they will resolutely complete it at a glance, even if it is nine deaths and one life, they will not flinch.

It won't be roundabout.

This is an advantage, but at the same time it is also a disadvantage, but there is no need for Roque to change, it is enough for the new First Cavalry Division to have a group of smart Chinese, and then a group of not so smart Gurkhas, in order to better form a joint force and work together.

When it comes to synergy, carrying a log is the easiest way to train.

The key is that carrying logs is simple and fast, you can take local materials, there are still a lot of trees in this era in India, choose those that are almost one person hugging, intercept a section of seven or eight meters long, six or seven people carry it and run together, the most effective way to train coordination, and at the same time can also strengthen the weight, enhance physical strength, exercise muscles, it is really a lot of benefits.

On the battlefield, the only thing that soldiers can rely on is their comrades-in-arms, so it is very important to cooperate in combat, and for the newly formed First Cavalry Division, there is still a run-in problem between Chinese soldiers and Gurkha soldiers, so the trees around the camp have suffered, and six or seven soldiers can be seen panting, shouting orders, red eyes, and running wildly with logs on the training ground in the barracks at any time.

In this way, after a day or two, there is no need for Roque to emphasize, the Gurkha soldiers who have just enlisted in the army understand the importance of their comrades-in-arms.

Such a log must have seven or eight hundred catties, but the key is that one person really can't carry it, so he can only rely on the strength of his comrades.

After this pass, the Gurkha soldiers began weapons training.

The weapons training of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division is also distinctive, and it is not a matter of randomly making bullets on the training ground for one-man rifles, but that the first thing to do is to learn and maintain the rifle when it is obtained.

As the saying goes, a soldier should treat his weapon like his own eyes, or he should treat his lover like he treats him.

Anyway, it's all the same, no matter what, it fully explains the importance of weapons, so after the Gurkha soldiers got the weapons, the first thing they learned was maintenance.

The weapons used by the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division are all Lee Enfield, and Roque will not favor one over the other, equipping Chinese soldiers with Lee Enfield, and equipping Gurkha soldiers with Martini Henry, which will not only bring a heavy burden to logistics work, but also affect the unity of the troops, which is asking for trouble.

The requirements of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division for soldiers are that all soldiers must be proficient in weapons to the level of familiarity, and after every training, regardless of whether they shoot or not, even if they only carry a rifle for a long-distance training, the first thing they do after returning to the battalion is to maintain their rifles.

First of all, the rifle was disassembled into parts, and then each part was carefully wiped with the allotted deerskin, and the barrel also had special maintenance tools, which the new 1st Cavalry Division demanded in this almost harsh regard.

Along with the rifles, the troops were issued the traditional dog-legged scimitars of the Gurkha soldiers.

Speaking of which, after the engineers of the Nyasaland Arsenal studied the Gurkha scimitar, they were surprised to find that the Gurkha scimitar did not have much room for improvement, this kind of time-tested, I don't know how long ago has begun to be popular in Nepal The scimitar is very conducive to chopping, especially in the jungle or mountains, the chopping effect is better than the spade issued by the new 1st Cavalry Division.

And the shape of the scimitar is very peculiar, and all the traditional knives of the Chinese are completely different, the Chinese cutter head is swept back, easy to cut, and the head of the Gurkha scimitar is an internal turn, obviously top-heavy, more convenient for chopping.

So the biggest improvement is the material.

Relatively speaking, the metallurgical level of Favart Iron and Steel Plant is more than a grade higher than that of Nepal, high manganese steel can be used to make steel helmets, and can also be used to make scimitars, the results of large-scale industrialization are shocking, and the supply ships that go one week a week directly send two thousand Gurkha scimitars to Roque, not only Gurkha soldiers, but all Chinese officers and soldiers are also redressed.

The newly issued scimitars are the same as the previous cutlass style, of course, the appearance is worlds apart, these gurkha people use the scimitars do not know how many generations have been passed down, damage is inevitable, some scimitars are even as tattered.

The scimitar issued by the new First Cavalry Division uses walnut handle, cowhide scabbard, and the handle is very carefully wrapped with a layer of leather rope in order to prevent slipping, and the pattern of the leather rope is precise and meticulous, which is simply lovely.

Not to mention the blade, the specially treated blade can hardly see the reflection, only when the blade is facing the sun, there will be a faint cold light fleeting, as if that bit of light has been inadvertently split by the sharp blade, the first night to get the scimitar, many Gurkha soldiers are holding the scimitar to sleep.

When it was time to be generous, Roque was still very generous, and when he issued the scimitar, Roque promised that such a scimitar would be issued one every year, and there was only one, and after retiring, the Gurkha soldiers could carry these scimitars home.

In other words, Roque gave these scimitars to these Gurkha soldiers as a benefit to them.

This was an asset to the Gurkha soldiers, because the labor contract they signed with the new 1st Cavalry Division was to serve in the new 1st Cavalry Division for 15 years.

Fifteen years!

For a young man who has just turned 20 years old, this is basically a lifelong system, and after they retire, they are only thirty-five, six, or no more than forty years old.

Another benefit given to the Gurkha soldiers by the new 1st Cavalry Division was that they were allowed to relocate their families to Johannesburg.

Of course, only for immediate family members, families in these years, seven or eight children are normal, the big family starts with a hundred and ten people, and Roque will continue to recruit Gurkha mercenaries in the future, if immigration is released, it may affect the demographic structure of Johannesburg, and it will be worth the loss.

The newcomers definitely need to work, and the income of these Gurkha soldiers in the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division can allow their families to live happily in Nepal, but not in Johannesburg, where they may be able to feed themselves with their salaries.

But this is not a problem, the farms around Johannesburg, the labor gap is still a bit big, although the Chinese farmers are working hard every day, but the work is never finished, a farm of hundreds of acres, converted to the metric system is thousands of acres, the farming season must be hired, and in Johannesburg, now only Zulu people can be employed.

The Zulu were extremely resistant to Roque, so the Gurkha became the best labor supplement.

Now many Gurkha soldiers are still unimpressed with this benefit, because they have not been to Johannesburg, and they do not know how far Johannesburg has developed, but those Gurkha mercenaries who have gone to Johannesburg have begun to urge their families to go to Johannesburg with frequent telegrams.

So there were a supply ship every week, and when they returned, they were full of people, and there were people in the corridors.

This wave of immigration has not yet reached the Gurkha mercenaries stationed in Nakla, but it has already attracted the attention of the Nepalese government, which immediately protested to the British Governor-General in India against the large-scale migration of the new 1st Cavalry Division.

Lord Belloc appeared in Nakra the next day.

"Massive? What are you kidding, there are only less than 10,000 people, 90% of them are children, the Nepalese government would rather watch them starve to death in the country than allow them to emigrate, this is a serious anti-human act, we should give the Nepalese government a warning! "Roque is now the standard colonial mentality, whatever is wrong, it's someone else's.

The Nepalese government still attaches great importance to the Gurkha mercenaries, which is also a very important income for the Nepalese government, Nepal is a standard agricultural country, the territory is mountainous and hilly, and it is not even an agricultural country, and the food is not self-sufficient, so the income of the Gurkha mercenaries is a very important income for the Nepalese government.

Until the 21st century, the British government's pensions and severance payments to Gurkha soldiers accounted for 4 percent of Nepal's GDP.

Roque is now directly removing the families of those Gurkha mercenaries, which is tantamount to a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle for the Nepalese government, and the Nepalese government will definitely not accept it.

"Locke, we can't do that." Lord Belloc was also very helpless, Roque's meaning was obvious, there was no need to ignore the protests of the Nepalese government, it really didn't work, let's fight with real knives and guns, whoever wins, whoever says it makes sense.

This is standard colonial thinking.

But for the current British government, it must be unacceptable for the British government to start a war rashly, and the Boer War has taught the British government too many lessons.

"It's okay Lord, if the Nepalese government has an issue with me, let them come to me directly, and I will be responsible for this matter." Roque has a big package, Britain is afraid of spending money when it fights, but Roque is not afraid.

The war was overwhelming for the British government, but for Roque, a cannon really sounded like a thousand taels of gold.

The Russo-Japanese War is the best example of this.
