It turns out that there is absolutely a reason why the white officers look down on the Indians, and even the simple clearing of the passage is not good for those Indians.

In all the units of the British Army in India, the officers are whites, and even if the ordinary Indians perform well, they can only reach the rank of sergeant major.

This is actually very demoralizing the soldiers of Indian origin, in a country of hundreds of millions of people, there are actually many people who perform well, but in a place like India, if they are from a lower caste, then they will never get ahead, not only the high-caste Brahmins do not give them a chance, even the British will not give them a chance.

This situation is actually very desperate, and if Roque was born in a country like India, I am afraid that he will do everything possible to leave and get out of this environment.

So in the end, the result is that capable young people will leave the country from generation to generation, and those who are not capable can only go with the flow.

The Indians in the British army were basically in this state, and even if they performed well, they could not become officers, so being a soldier was just a job for them to support their families.

It's not right, the salary of Indian soldiers, probably can't support their families, it's good to be able to support themselves, the most valuable thing on their bodies is the rifle they use, or Martini Henry, who has been eliminated by the new 1st Cavalry Division, so in the words of Mars Howard, the most important daily job of a white officer is to take care of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, otherwise many soldiers will secretly sell their weapons for money.

After the order was given, it was broken down in layers, and then Roque saw the white officer with a whip and herding sheep, driving the Indian soldiers to clear the obstacles.

The whips were made of strips of cloth wrapped around brass strips, more like short sticks than whips, and Roque noticed that a slow-moving fellow was reprimanded by a white officer, and then several turbans came with these short sticks, and smashed them in the face with a frightening ferocity.

The ones who did the work and the beatings were actually Indians.

"You can't deal with these lazy pigs without a whip, they won't act if they don't see the whip." Mars Howard's indifferent face, this scene is probably also accustomed.

"Alert, there are unidentified people approaching 500 meters on the opposite side—" The machine gunners on the truck stood tall and saw far away, and they were equipped with telescopes and were constantly watching.

When Roque left Johannesburg, he converted more than a dozen trucks into armored vehicles and brought them to India.

In fact, the modification is to install steel plates on the carriage and add shields to the machine gunners on the roof, so that although the speed of the truck is greatly reduced, the protection is greatly strengthened, and it can be used as a tank in places like India.

The first reaction after an attack reflects the disparity between different forces to the greatest extent.

Before the machine gunners signaled vigilance, the officers and men of Company A were ready to respond, and the machine gunners on the roof of the five armored vehicles lined up were waiting for them, and the other soldiers were squatting neatly behind the armored vehicles to rest, waiting for the officers' next order.

The Gurkha troops were still marching before, and they didn't panic much after receiving the prompt, they were still calm, and they were also waiting for the officer's next order.

The height of these Gurkha soldiers is generally not high, about 1.5 meters, but their 1.5 meters is different from the Japanese with the small short legs of the circle, and the body proportion is still very good, although it looks a little thinner, but it feels very capable.

The key is that the dog-legged scimitar on their waist is too fierce, this dog-legged scimitar is actually called the Gurkha scimitar, because of its design of the front wide and narrow back, the blade is very thick and the blade is very thin, the overall shape is very similar to the "dog's leg", so it is also called the "dog-legged knife", this knife is actually a very good recurve knife, with extraordinary chopping function, suitable for white-knuckle warfare and the jungle in the mountain and road splitting, but also an excellent field survival knife.

The Dogleg Scimitar is a symbol of the Gurkha mercenaries, and Roque has already gotten a few Dogleg Scimitars and sent them back to the Nyasaland Arsenal for engineers to study, and the Dogleg Scimitar will become the first standard saber of the Nyasaland Army.

In contrast, the performance of the Indian soldiers is not watchable, their curiosity is really great, obviously there are unknown people approaching, in the war zone this "unknown identity" is similar to the enemy, but they do not have any vigilant movements, or chaotic in a group, some people actually tried to climb on the car to look into the distance, only to be dragged down by the white officer, and then a group of people surrounded it and another meal.

Fortunately, the guard was quickly lifted, and the people who came over waved white flags and walked in only to find that it was Lakshmi whom Roque knew.

Well, it's Lakshmi who didn't give gifts to Roque, and the Nakla region where the riots took place, is Lakshmi's territory.

"Sir, my house has been overrun by thugs, they kicked us out of the house, but left all the women behind, those thugs deserve to die, please kill them all-" Lakshmi recognized Roque very well now, even though Roque was standing with Mars Howard, and Lakshmi was not mistaken.

"Wait a minute, we're clearing the obstacles." Although Lakshmi did not give Roque a gift, Roque still did his best.

Not to mention anything else, what Roque hates most is the harm to women, the war makes women go away, as long as women don't take the initiative to take up arms, Roque opposes any harm to women.

"Quick, sir, I'm willing to pay a thousand, no, two thousand—" Lakshmi said without hesitation, a little insulting.

"Shut your damn stinking mouth! We don't need you to tell us how to work! Now you have to get out of the way of me, or I'll put you in jail." "Roque can still bear it, but Mars Howard can't bear it, and it is a scolding to cover his face.

Lakshmi is really not worthy of sympathy, although on the surface Lakshmi's experience is very embarrassing, but as a man, when the thugs broke into his home, he did not fight to the death with the thugs, but left his wife and daughter to escape alone, this kind of person deserves it!

Lakshmi didn't escape alone, but there were dozens of people, and it can be seen from the costumes of these people that they were probably Lakshmi's family.

That is to say, when disaster strikes, all the men in Lakshmi's family flee, leaving the women to fall into the hands of the thugs, who deserve to die, but Lakshmi and the men who fled are even more hateful.

The Indians did not dare to resist in front of the white man, and Lakshmi was scolded by Mars Howard, and he didn't even dare to reply, muttering to the side, looking at Roque with hope in his eyes, and a trace of hatred.

It is estimated that Lakshmi is slandering at this time, why didn't Roque and his soldiers stop those rioters in advance, but they won't reflect on why there is a riot in their territory.

So Roque didn't pity Lakshmi at all, although Roque was also worried about the fate of those women, but as the military commander, Roque had to ensure the safety of the troops first, and then he would consider ending the riots as soon as possible.

Lakshmi did not dare to make any more demands, and instead scolded the slow-moving Indian soldiers.

These soldiers of Indian origin were all low-caste, and they did not dare to reply to Lakshmi, the high-caste king, but the movements in their hands were not accelerated by Lakshmi's anger, and they were still so slow and little by little, even a branch less than a meter long was eager to be carried by two people.

"You damned pigs, you deserve to go to hell, and you'll be a lowly Shudra, or even a damned Dalit—" Lakshmi jumped up and down, looking really anxious.

However, even though Lakshmi seemed to be in a hurry, he did not intend to go up to help and remove the obstacle as soon as possible.

"Damn the high castes, they don't work, and they wish someone could eat for them." Mars Howard couldn't stand it.

The caste system in India is divided into Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras.

Brahmins are the highest caste and are at the highest level in Indian society, while Shudras as a lower caste are also known as "mongrels" and they are rarely respected in India and do occupations that are considered to be the lowest.

In addition to the above four, there is also a class that does not deserve to have a surname at all, and these people are considered "untouchables" in India, known as "Dalits", also known as "untouchables".

Lakshmi's urging was absolutely counterproductive, and the last few not-so-large trunks looked heavy, and the Indian soldiers simply didn't touch them, even if the white officers went up and pumped them with sticks, the Indian soldiers just lay on the ground with their heads in their hands and shrunk into a ball, not resisting at all, and certainly not getting up to work.

Luo Ke couldn't stand it anymore and motioned for Guan Jing to go up with a truck and drag the trunk away.

As a result, when the truck dragged away the tree trunks, the Indian soldiers, both who had been beaten and scolded, erupted in enthusiastic cheers, including Lakshmi, as if they had already won.

"Sir, you shouldn't have let the trucks go, you look at the faces of these guys, they are not grateful, but think that your men have done their job and become a lower caste like them, and they will even think that if someone else helps them, it is because they think that they are of a lower social status than them, and they should take the initiative to serve them." Mars Howard's words refreshed Roque's three views.

Sure enough, there were soldiers of Indian origin who wanted to get on the truck of Company A, because they thought it would be nice.

At this time, Roque must not be used to them, and the butts of the newly formed soldiers of the First Cavalry Division are much more ruthless than sticks when they smash people.
