The lowest-ranking company in the new 1st Cavalry Division was undoubtedly Company H.

As William and Ross thought, H Company, which did not even have a full number of soldiers, was indeed an auxiliary soldier, and it was now the task of H Company to stand guard and clean up in the camp, but if the quality of the soldiers of H Company was underestimated because of this, it would be wrong, not to mention anything else, the shooting results of the officers and men of H Company were generally good, and the results of individual people could even reach excellent, and they were qualified to be called precision marksmen.

This result is not much different from the results of other main companies.

Relatively speaking, the results of G Company are much worse, although in the Boer War, the officers and soldiers of the Boer Union were known for their accurate marksmanship, but it was the Boer Coalition Army, and the Boers in the colonial army were two different things.

Ross did not wait for William's order, but went directly to the warehouse, called all the officers and soldiers who were sorting out the bedding, and then did an overall assessment.

The results were miserable, more than half of the 140 officers and men failed to pass the grades, only 12 were good, and not a single one was excellent.

Luo Ke picked up Suo Chao's report and quickly read it, shook his head slightly and sighed, the results of the Boer Company were not good, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.

"Is there a joint training session after a while?" Suo Chao was a little worried, if he practiced together now, it was estimated that the Boer people would have to clean the toilet every day.

"No, the training went according to plan." Roque did not give any special care to G Company, whether it was an English officer or a Boer soldier, and if someone did not meet Roque's requirements, Roque would not hesitate to return the person to Hopkins.

The new 1st Cavalry Division is not a retirement home, and if it weren't for the extreme disappointment with the previous troops, Ade would not have established the new 1st Cavalry Division.

Since Ade appointed Roque as the commander of the new First Cavalry Division, then Roque must be worthy of Ade's trust, as long as Ade does not harm the interests of the Chinese, Roque will turn the new First Cavalry Division into a sword in Ade's hands.

"Geng Biao's kid intensified after he was released, and he came 35 kilometers with the troops last night." Suo Chao was frightened by Geng Biao's madness, which was also the first 35 kilometers of the newly formed First Cavalry Division.

Africans, just look at the size of the body to know that they can't run to death, Basutolan, sometimes Africans can run for a day chasing prey, in the Johannesburg Police Department, the physical strength of African-American police is notoriously good, 35 kilometers is basically impossible for others, but for Africans it is really no problem.

"35 km! Africans are indeed talented in long-distance running-" Roque couldn't help but sigh, although the current Chinese have good physical fitness, they still can't catch up with Africans, and they are indeed talented.

People in this era, as long as their nutrition can keep up, their physical fitness is actually very good.

Africans' poor physical fitness is due to malnutrition since childhood, and the Chinese are also skinny when they are malnourished.

The logistics supply of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division is very sufficient, after all, it has more than 20,000 yuan a month, and it is now a big customer of the agricultural association.

As soon as this nutrition came up, the physical advantages of Africans began to gradually appear, they did have some problems in individual skills and tactics, and they were not good at teamwork, and their physical fitness was indeed good.

"It's just useless to be able to run, their group score is always the first, Geng Biao's whips have been changed several times, those Zulu people cry when they are beaten, turn their heads and make mistakes or mistakes, and they don't have a long memory at all." Suo Chao can be regarded as seeing through the fact that Zulu soldiers are the life of scouts, and it is impossible to expect them to be disciplined.

When it comes to scouts, the Africans are really good at it, and the British have positioned it accurately.

In fact, what Africans are best at is not long-distance training, but survival in the wild.

The new 1st Cavalry Division did not have a wilderness survival project, which had been tried by the Northern Rhodesian Division before, but due to insufficient preparation, a major accident occurred when trying to carry out wilderness survival training, and a soldier went missing during the training and has not been found so far, so the wilderness survival project ended without a problem.

Africans are very strong in this area of survival, in the past, in Nyasaland, there were Yao people who went to Nyasaland for training, and survival in the wild was one of the training programs.

Africans are at home in this training, they can always find food and clean water in the wild as quickly as possible, Nyasaland is required for three days, but many Yao people can easily survive in the wild for a week, and they also raise themselves shiny, which is one of the few bright spots in the training.

Roque's positioning of H Company is a scout, Africans are talented in this regard, their skin is the best protective color, and they don't have too many requirements for the environment, in order to complete the reconnaissance mission, they can survive in the wild for a week or more, and there is no more suitable job for Africans than scouts.

"Tell Geng Biao to be more restrained, there are regulations in the military regulations that prohibit corporal punishment of soldiers, and you still want to be locked up in a small black house?" Luo Ke was a little angry, if Geng Biao continued to resist H Company like this, then Luo Ke could only transfer Geng Biao away.

"This kid is smart now, he doesn't physically punish soldiers, let soldiers take the initiative to accept punishment, Africans are too thick-skinned, our soldiers are punished to clean a toilet is a great shame, who dares to joke with the soldiers who are punished for cleaning toilets, the soldiers who clean the toilets can work hard with people, Africans don't care much about this, and using these methods to punish African soldiers does not play its due role." Suo Chao is still saving face, and this passage is shameless in other words.

The thickness of the Zulu people's skin is indeed breathtaking, and the only punishment that can make the Zulu people touch their souls is corporal punishment and fines, cleaning, serving people to eat, etc., which are commonplace for the Zulu people, and are not punishments at all.

Geng Biao can't help it, he, the company commander, and H Company share honor and disgrace, those Zulu soldiers can be shameless, Geng Biao, the company commander, can't be shameless, so Geng Biao can only find another way.

"That's not good, you keep an eye on him, you can't let him mess around, you also know the last time you put down the rebellion, these Zulu people are still very useful, in the future, the main enemy of our Transvaal is estimated to be Africans, these Zulu people will be of great use in the future, you can't let Geng Biao cripple everyone." Roque wants to make the best use of his talents and materials, and the Zulu people are not hopeless, mainly depending on how to guide.

Although Roque knows some of the inferior roots of Africans, in the eyes of Europeans, the Chinese actually have inferior roots.

So if Africans don't make mistakes, then Roque won't discriminate against Africans, and even co-opt Africans against whites, in the last counterinsurgency, if it weren't for the excellent performance of African scouts, the northern division of Rhodesia is estimated to not be so smooth to counterinsurgency.

As for the future, if Africans really become a burden, then Roque will not hesitate to abandon Africans, which is Roque's bottom line.

"And Africans dare to rebel?" Suo Chao was very surprised, this time the Natal Africans rebelled, and the Natal government killed tens of thousands of Africans before and after, Suo Chao really didn't expect that the Africans would be so resistant.

"There will be no rebellion, the main thing is how to make better use of Africans to build Nyasaland, Rhodesia, and the Transvaal." Roque is ready to unload the mill and kill the donkey, the port of Port Edward has been completed, the railroad to Little Rock has been built for more than half of the time, Roque does not ask Christian how many Africans died for the construction of Port Edward and the railroad, and now Roque's thinking has become more and more like the "native" of this era.

"How else can you use it, if you don't obey, you will fight, hang up and fight-" Compared with Roque, Suo Chao is the standard colonial mentality.

"Go back and organize, at the end of the month, the whole division will be assessed, all companies must participate, those with excellent grades will be rewarded, and those with backward grades will be punished, tell Geng Biao and William that their companies will also participate." Although Roque was not in favor of corporal punishment, and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division also stipulated that corporal punishment of soldiers was not allowed, corporal punishment was inevitable in this era.

As for the assessment of the whole division, we can understand this as a large-scale appraisal of the whole army, and Roque wants to use this method to test the quality of all officers and men, establish the correct concept of "sweating more in peacetime and shedding less blood in wartime," and set off an upsurge in military training in an all-round way.

"Then there is no need to compare, it is estimated that G Company and H Company will definitely be at the bottom." Suo Chao is still not optimistic about G Company and H Company.

"Not necessarily, when the time comes, your thinking is a bit dangerous, don't forget that you are the deputy division commander." Roque was not so sure, and at the same time reminded Suo Chao to treat everyone equally.

It is not difficult to hear from Suo Chao's words that he, like Geng Biao, actually has a bit of prejudice against G Company and H Company.

It's not just Suo Chao and Geng Biao who are like this, but the officers and men of the entire newly formed First Cavalry Division are probably waiting to see the jokes of G Company and H Company.

Since G Company and H Company are also members of the new First Cavalry Division, then the other officers and men of the new First Cavalry Division should not just see jokes, they should help G Company and H Company to make progress together, and then all officers and men meet the standards is the correct way to deal with it.

"I understand my lord, I will talk to Geng Biao and William when I go back." Suo Chao still didn't dare to make a mistake, and honestly admitted his mistakes.

Roque believes that Suo Chao can handle it well, but he really can't, and Roque, the Baron of Nyasaland, is behind his back.

Looking back, Roque still has to find a way to ask Phyllis for leave.

Ida has finally returned after disappearing for so long, and counting the time, Ada has disappeared for almost a year.

Roque could vaguely sense why Ada had returned to Cape Town, but Roque was not sure.

Anyway, Ada definitely won't be bad for Roque.
