Chapter 21: The Soldier's Horn
Therefore, this hierarchy actually hurts the Americans themselves the most.
On the surface, the Americans seem to have received certain benefits, such as better food, better environment, and a sense of superiority in the base, but in fact, everyone, including black Americans, looks at them strangely, and the most serious consequence is that Chinese soldiers have become generally distrustful of American officers...... Will the soldiers feel that these Yankees usually don't regard themselves as human beings, and when they fight, will they still sincerely think about the lives of the soldiers?!
So this laid the groundwork for the almost mutiny of the Chinese army later.
And the Chinese military has benefited the most.
Although the Chinese army is a second-class citizen, and the food is not as good as that of the Yankees, you must know that they are soldiers who have to go to the battlefield to fight, and they are the only soldiers that Stilwell can rely on, so the treatment of "second-class citizens" is also very good compared to the third and fourth classes, and it is enough for the Chinese soldiers themselves, and it can even be called a luxury.
More importantly...... There is no "racial discrimination" in the heads of Chinese, perhaps Chinese are more patriarchal, but they will never treat blacks, Burmese, and Indians as inferior people like Americans.
Therefore, the Chinese soldiers often mingle with the blacks, Burmese, and Indians, and from time to time take out canned food and other food to distribute to them, and even sometimes take the initiative to help them work, which makes the Chinese soldiers have a very good reputation in the training camp, and it is no exaggeration to say that the lower classes are basically absorbed by the Chinese army, even the black Americans who are also from the United States, and the white Americans are so lonely and hundreds of people, although they are high but not popular.
Moreover, this hierarchy and that sense of superiority made the Yankees gradually forget about it and began to behave in a bad way......
It should be said that this is also a characteristic of the US military, and the biggest difference between the US military system and the expeditionary force system is not tactics or rules, but control over military nature.
The Chinese army is strictly forbidden to go to the cellar to find **. If you sneak around the town once and if you are caught, then needless to say, you will be kicked out of the army immediately and take a plane back to China another day. If you bully a woman from a good family, you will even be shot.
But the American army is not like this at all, not to mention the pictures of condoms and colorful naked women, Yankees entering a brothel is like entering a restaurant, laughing and laughing wildly, and hugging and kissing without scruples when they see ** in public.
In the eyes of the Chinese soldiers, this scene is really envious, jealous and hateful...... You must know that they are all men, and they are all masculine in blood, and more importantly, they don't know when they will go to the battlefield and when they will die. But many of them don't even know what it's like to be a woman.
However, in the face of iron-like discipline, the soldiers could only be full of envy and did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
From this point, it can also be seen that the Yankees have limited control over the Chinese forces...... If the Americans really controlled the Chinese army, then the Chinese soldier code should not work. But in reality, the Yankees' soldiers' code is more often just a look, and the soldiers actually obey the Chinese army's own code. To be more accurate, it should be that the soldiers selectively obeyed the US military code on the premise of abiding by the Chinese code.
The indulgence of American officers in the town in this way will bring economic benefits to the town of Burma, but it has a terrible reputation. The Burmese, in particular, hated the British rule and were resentful of the Americans.
However, because of the best military discipline, the Chinese army treats the people very warmly, and sometimes takes the initiative to help the people of Myanmar to work. In addition, there were also unremittingly lit by the elders such as Unata, so it didn't take long for the Chinese army to be deeply supported and supported by the local people.
Especially after an incident, the prestige of the Chinese army took root among the Burmese people.
It was Sunday...... According to the rules of the U.S. military, no matter how intense the training is. Saturday and Sunday are free time.
This is unimaginable for Chinese soldiers, Wang Mazi said puzzledly: "What if this is on the battlefield?" Do you still tell the devil that today is the weekend, and you will take two days off and wait for next week? ”
Of course. Training is not exactly the same as a real battlefield, and it is understandable that there is a need for rest.
It's just that Chinese soldiers often give up their weekend rest and take the initiative to train in the training ground, so of course the US military instructors are happy to see Chinese soldiers do this, so they don't care.
On this day, Zhang Chi took a few soldiers to take two jeeps to Sun Brabang for a walk...... They thought of going to the town to exchange the canned food for the fresh vegetables in the hands of the Burmese people, although those canned beef were all treasures to the soldiers in the past, but they would get tired of eating them for a month in a row, so the soldiers soon began to miss the taste of fresh vegetables.
As soon as the jeep drove into town, there was chaos in the streets, and it turned out to be a few drunken American officers around a Burmese girl who screamed and ran, but could not escape the encirclement of several American officers. The surrounding Burmese people all looked angry, but they were afraid that the American officer had a gun at his waist, so they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
"Fuck it!" When the hooligan saw this, he couldn't help but curse.
"Company commander, what should I do?" The extremely poor student in the cab looked up and asked.
"What else can I do?!" Zhang Chi replied without thinking about it: "Hit the fuck!" ”
"Yes!" The extremely poor student responded, and without saying a word, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed up.
Before the jeep could stop, Zhang Chi shouted: "Call me!" ”
"Hit!" The fighters jumped down with a shout, punching and kicking the Yankees.
When the invincible American officers saw that the Chinese officers and soldiers who were actually "second-class citizens" were actually acting against them, they couldn't help but be furious, and one officer even drew a pistol to intimidate.
But where could the Chinese soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead people be frightened by them, and they disarmed them in three strokes and two blows, followed by another beating, only to knock the American officer to the ground and scream.
Zhang Chi didn't want to make a big deal out of it, after all, the training base was all up to the Yankees, so when he saw that it was almost over, he shouted "withdraw", and more than a dozen soldiers drove away in a jeep and disappeared.
But what Zhang Chi and the others didn't know was that one of the American officers took advantage of the chaos and ripped off the soldier's horn on his chest. (To be continued.) )
