It is difficult to recruit soldiers, although it is a headache, and you can find a way to solve it, and the next training will be really troublesome.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, German and Bulgarian are both big languages in this era, and there are many people who can speak these two languages, so it is not difficult to get together a translation.

The real headache is jungle warfare, and it is unrealistic to go directly to the rainforests of Southeast Asia to train, and if you encounter the rebels in advance, it will be the same as the British.

If you can't go to the Southeast Asian rainforest for training, you can only go to the Balkan Mountains for initial training, and after completing the basic training, then go to the African jungle for actual combat training, and finally go to Southeast Asia for final training.

It can be said that in the preliminary preparations, Bulgaria has done the most adequate.

Neither the Dutch, nor the British did so much training.

Now their attitude towards this rebellion is two extremes, either dismissive or fearful. It can be said that the psychological factor is the biggest problem for the British and Dutch armies at present.

Knowing it, Ferdinand didn't remind them that if it wasn't for the help of his peers, how could he highlight the strength of the Bulgarian army?

The worse the British army behaves, the more bottomless the London government will become, and even many politicians will directly equate the British army with waste snacks in their hearts.

This will be very useful for Bulgaria's future activities in international politics. Remembering the poor performance of the British War Secretary, the London government can't help but think twice.

If the media had been to preach this consciousness and instill this consciousness in the hearts of the British people, the British Empire would not have wanted to make a difference in the future.

A cannon fodder unit, is anyone willing to participate? Without enough army, it would be very good for the British to be able to keep their existing colonies, and if they wanted to intervene in international affairs, they had to rely on the navy.

Once the navy is finished, the British Empire will collapse, and this is an invisible conspiracy, just waiting for the last fermentation.

As soon as the recruitment process was over, Admiral Kristof began to have a headache, and he had to select enough officers from these recruitments.

The high-ranking officer is okay, he can do the work of a couple of retired generals and get them out of the mountains. It is also easy for grass-roots officers, and there are also a large number of veterans and grass-roots officers in these recruitments, but the middle-level officers are not together.

The army is a place to look at the results of the war, not long after the end of the world war, the new generation of officers after the world war has not yet grown up, and these middle and high-level officers in the world war are all meritorious heroes.

Most of them have gained a lot, not to mention the wealth, at least they have become the middle class, and it is difficult for mercenaries to attract them.

The lack of mid-level officers is only one aspect. The next jungle combat training will be even more troublesome.

The Bulgarian army had no experience in large-scale operations in Southeast Asia, so these instructors had to be drawn from colonial forces.

Looking at the list of weapons reported from below, Admiral Christophe was almost stunned, as if he had gone back hundreds of years.

Crossbow arrows are added to the equipment, but flamethrowers, field sabers equipped by colonial troops, and so on have been added.

The most pitiful thing is the jungle field map, if he had this thing, he would have sent it down a long time ago, do you still need to ask?

In the end, he had to regretfully make a decision, even if the task was completed by defeating the main force of the rebels, such an "easy" job as the jungle payment would be left to the Dutch army behind!

Anyway, for the Dutch government, as long as the city is recovered, it can give an account to the people, they have never really ruled the jungle area.

When the time comes, they will support new tribal leaders and use the locals to fight the locals.

The cost of fighting deep into the jungle is too great, and the key factor in determining victory or defeat is no longer the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but the geographical conditions are more important.

No matter how well the Bulgarian army was trained, it was impossible to be more familiar with the terrain of the South Seas than the locals.

The terrain, climate, vegetation, and local creatures can all become helpers for the rebels and become enemies of the mercenaries.

Don't let the shadow of the rebels not be seen, and a large number of people will be killed by poisonous insects and dysentery, and it will be embarrassing.

……

There is more than one person who is also troubled by this, and the new British commander-in-chief for Southeast Asia, General Waveville, is also facing the same problem.

Even his trouble was even greater, these British soldiers were not so obedient, and they had just begun their training, and they were "sick" one after another!

It's not just one person or two people getting sick, everyone is sick as a group, and a regiment or division is sick as a group.

The number of British soldiers in Southeast Asia has exceeded 200,000 and continues to grow!

If this is really ill, then General Wavell does not have to think about countering the rebellion, and he will return home in advance, and the British Empire will abandon Southeast Asia.

The real reason was cruel, the British officers and soldiers collectively resisted the training plan developed by Wavell, so they fell ill at the beginning of the training.

The law does not blame the public, and the same applies here, it is impossible for Wavell to use military law against so many people, and even to make an example of the monkeys, if it is not good, these old soldiers will mutiny.

Coercion and temptation, it has no effect at all, and the reaction is that people have long wanted to go home, and if illness can make them mention retirement, maybe there will be more people who are sick now.

If it weren't for compulsory military service, the London government would not have been able to send troops for a long time. You must know that this is the rainforest of Southeast Asia, and the casualty rate of fighting here is quite high!

Don't expect to surrender and be safe, go into the jungle, at least they must be able to withstand dysentery, otherwise they will still die, and the rebels will not be able to provide them with effective medical assistance.

If the rebellion in the Southeast Asian colonies had not involved too many political factors, the losses would have been enough for the London government to abandon the colony.

As a master of military training, when encountering a group of soldiers who resisted training, General Wavell was also a powerful envoy!

No way, who let it be the rainy season? It rains almost every day in Southeast Asia, and the British Army has never had a tradition of training in the rain.

Once in a while, they can still persevere, just to publicize to the outside world how hard they train, but training in the rain every day is more than they can bear.

You must know that at the beginning of Wavell's training, many British officers and soldiers could not hold on and collapsed, and some of them were unlucky enough to fall ill and contracted dysentery, and the last one whimpered.

After the death of a few unlucky people, the British army exploded, and no matter what orders the commander ordered, they were passive and sabotage, quite non-violent and uncooperative.

General Wavell didn't dare to use strong means, and he didn't want to be shot in the back.

In the end, I could only reach a compromise with the soldiers, everyone had a holiday to rest on rainy days, and then carried out normal training on sunny days, but God knows how many sunny days can there be in the rainy season in Southeast Asia!

Once the rainy season is over, they will have to launch a counter-offensive, and the politicians in London will not care about their difficulties, and the political pressure at home cannot afford to drag on the war.
