Chapter 1457 - Riot Police Training
Of course, what Marin says here is more advanced than later generations, referring to the question of control over the place. But in terms of professionalism, it is certainly not as good as the professional police who graduated from the police academy in later generations.
However, in this era, the sergeants of these unprofessional veteran officers are completely sufficient. Why? Because there are very few literate people in this era. No culture means not having many ideas, and there is no problem of high-IQ crimes.
Without sophisticated high-IQ crimes, there would be no need for the kind of professional police officers in later generations. In the face of a group of illiterate criminals, it is enough to use simple and brutal torture.
When did the Sherlock Holmes series appear? Late 19th century!
At that time, because the paper industry entered the stage of mechanization in the mid-19th century, the technology of machine pulping and chemical pulping appeared, which led to a significant reduction in the cost of paper and books. Then, Europe entered the age of science in which education was universal.
In this way, there are more cultural people. But at the same time, those criminals also received a high-level education, and their IQ improved a lot. Then, there was the crime of high intelligence. Correspondingly, under the demand, a group of detectives also appeared......
To put it bluntly, the popularization of education has brought about the improvement of the ability of ordinary people. But at the same time, it also brings about an increase in the ability of criminals. Then, the emergence of professional police officers was stimulated.
The current Beihai Kingdom has not yet reached that point. Therefore, there is no need for any professional police officers yet. But because Marin is universally educated, it will definitely need to be needed in the future.
However, Marin will still insist on a system of "sheriffs and sheriffs coexisting". At most, the official police officers are selected from among the graduates of the police academy. Sheriffs can also be selected from among local police academy graduates. But Sheriff, Marin will still use a retired officer. They don't need expertise, they just want loyalty. There is also the right to redeploy troops to the police force. This power is fundamental to ensuring the control of the Beihai State over the local area. In normal times, the sheriff can be like an ornament. However, if the police need to be called, the order must be signed by the sheriff. No matter how good your sheriff is, you can't mobilize a police officer without a sheriff issuing an order......
Marin even gave the sheriffs the power of self-determination to suppress local riots. In this way, there is no problem of the local police being reluctant to shoot and suppress because they sympathize with the people. Just like the French Revolution, if it weren't for the refusal of the army to shoot at the people, it wouldn't have been a climate at all.
In addition, Marin also selected the best place for the police station to be stationed in the police force - beacons in various places......
In order to ensure the safety of East Friesland, Marin built many beacons in various places as early warnings. Later, the devil's turret and the beacon tower were combined to create a special "turret beacon".
The turret was originally a very strong fortification, and the outside was a moat, and it was necessary to put a drawbridge to enter, so it was very safe. In the event of an enemy invasion or a riot by the people, the policemen stationed in the turret can completely put away the drawbridge and defend it. At the same time, the wolf smoke was lit on the top of the turret to warn.
Of course, this is not enough. After all, when the wolf smoke rises, it may be an enemy invasion or a civilian riot. If you make a mistake in judgment and make a mistake in your response, it will not be good.
Therefore, Marin will also ask for carrier pigeons in the turret. In the event of an accident, the wolf smoke is lit and the carrier pigeon is released. The letter carried by the carrier pigeon will explain the situation in detail to avoid the above response mistakes.
……
Marin had conceived enough, but when he talked to the gang of rough guys, the 320 rough guys were all confused......
"Police? What for? Suppression of popular riots? Kill directly? ”
"Nima-" Marin spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
If the people make a disturbance and kill people directly, then why don't they become tyrants?
However, these birdmen really only kill people......
It seems that he still has to give some professional training to these rough guys. It is not necessary to expect them to be as professional as the police of later generations, he only hopes that these second-class goods will not kill people indiscriminately......
For this reason, Marin thought about it and finally thought of a way - riot police......
If you deal with the armed people, you don't have to say - kill! The number of roads in the army is very good!
However, in the face of a population without weapons, it is clear that the army cannot be used. Therefore, the riot police, which were professionally used to face the crowds of rioters and demonstrations, became the best choice.
In fact, there are not many riot police in Huaxia in later generations, mainly because Huaxia does not allow people to march and gather crowds to make trouble. Without the marches and riots, the riot police would have had little chance to play. In foreign countries, riot police are often seen on the news wearing riot helmets similar to motorcycle helmets, wearing heavy riot clothing, holding composite riot shields in their left hands and short sticks in their right hands......
When confronted with agitated crowds, these riot police officers will form a neat line to block the procession. When the procession tried to break through, the riot police would beat people with short sticks......
Sometimes, in order to disperse the crowds, riot police will also throw tear gas. Of course, they themselves put on gas masks......
But Marin didn't have tear gas, so he had to take the most basic path - to block with a shield and whip people with a short stick......
Don't look at this way is more earthy, but it can't stand up and be easy to use. The unarmed crowd was really helpless in the face of riot police with shields and helmets and full armed equipment. Even if you throw bricks, you can be blocked by the shield. And the riot police's baton is pumped over, and you can't resist it. If you want to dodge the batons, you can only scatter. But you scattered, and the people achieved their goal...... In the face of the rangers, the riot police are more at ease.
So, Marin instructed his craftsmen to make a full set of riot police uniforms.
The style of the helmet is similar to that of the anti-riot helmets of later generations, the only difference is that the plexiglass mask that can be turned up has been changed to a mesh metal mask that can be turned upside down.
This mask, in fact, is mainly used to protect against "hidden weapons" such as bricks, and can also resist sticks and slaps in the face. As for the protective suit, Marin directly adopted a black leather vest similar to a tactical vest. The vest has a lot of pockets and can be inserted into the steel plate. Of course, it is also possible to insert wooden boards. In peacetime, the people are suppressed, and there are enough planks to insert them, and it is okay not to insert them. If you go to the battlefield, you must insert steel plates.
As for the shield, Marlin doesn't have a lightweight PVC riot shield that can even block bullets, and can only provide ordinary wooden shields.
What the? You said it could be equipped with a rattan shield imported from the Ming Dynasty? It can be, but the army itself is not enough, will it be equipped with second-line troops such as the police?
So, the police are still holding ordinary wooden shields. On the shield, the word "Police" can also be written on the top of the shield. The shield is painted black, and the lettering is written in white lime mortar......
As for the short sticks, just use oak sticks. However, Marin asked for a thick strip of cloth wrapped around the oak baton to mimic the rubber batons of later generations. After all, the pursuit of police beating is to hurt the opponent, not to hurt the opponent. There are thick strips of cloth wrapped around it, which can reduce the chance of the opponent getting injured. But the same pain......
As for the wooden shield being too heavy? Don't be afraid, just let these guys choose a man with great strength to be a policeman. If you have little strength and can't hold the wooden shield, what kind of violent organ can you be a thug? dismissed as soon as possible......
……
When the 320 rammed goods were dressed in a full set of black riot clothing, it was very eye-catching. Then, Marin, a half-police instructor, made his debut......
"Look at my movements!"
After speaking, Marin handsomely pulled down the metal mesh cover on his helmet, raised the wooden shield with his left hand, raised the oak short stick with his right hand, retreated half a step back with his right leg, assumed a fighting stance, and suddenly shouted:
"Stand back! Back off! ”
"Spread out! Disperse! ”
Then, Marin handsomely closed the work......
320 rough guys dumbfounded - it's that simple?
Then, the 320 rough men followed the example of Marin, and lowered their masks in unison, raised their shields in their left hands and raised their sticks in their right hands, and shouted together:
"Stand back! Back off! ”
"Spread out! Disperse! ”
……
At this time, they felt that it turned out that there were more policemen......
Just like just now, when Marin shouted alone, he didn't have any momentum at all. Although Ma Lin is also a martial artist, he always feels that there is no deterrent effect when he poses like this alone.
However, when 320 well-trained veterans did it together, the momentum immediately rose. Ordinary people definitely can't stand it......
……
"What's next?" The veterans asked.
Marin said dismissively:
"Paralyzed, beat people with a short stick and still want me to teach you? However, pay attention to your proportions, don't really hurt someone, just hurt the other party! ”
Then, Marin turned around and walked away in a dashing manner. And Schwartz stayed, yelling:
"Why are you still stunned? Divide into two teams, line up and beat each other! Remember, the formation is not allowed to be messed up! Also, you can't really hurt the other party! ”
Then, Schwartz also left, leaving only 320 veteran ruffians with shields fighting each other......
