Chapter XXXVII
The defeat of the British expeditionary force by the indigenous tribes became the hottest news in the Transvaal at the end of April, and even the names of the Ming tribes began to appear in the newspapers. There is no written language and no historical record for the indigenous people of Africa, not to mention the turmoil caused by the northward migration of the Nguni people a few decades ago, and no one can say what is going on with this newly rising Ming tribe.
The temple outside the base has become the most prosperous place in the local area. Recently, Ming religion has been spreading in North Transvaal, and it is widely rumored that the great god of light has blessed the Ming tribe in order to defeat the evil white people. As a result, countless natives of good men and women came to pay their respects, and the missionaries led by Miao Lingyi bewitched their lips and tongues, and some miracles and legends were constantly excavated and spread to more tribes.
Kota, the chief of the Nama people, and Vaal, the leader of the Griqua people, stood outside the temple, watching the flow of people entering and leaving the temple gate, and naturally there were no less people from their tribe inside.
"Now in the tribe, the pagan gods of light who keep their mouths shut have forgotten that their fathers and grandparents were all God's people."
Val complained that he was a Catholic, and although he was not very religious, he had never thought of switching to another faith.
Cota only smiled when he heard this, and although he could speak some words of God when dealing with white people, he still believed in the moon of his tribe, which had been passed down from his ancestors for generations, and had blessed them to this day. Mingjiao also spread among his tribe, but the missionaries preached that the moon and the god of light were one, and that the belief in light did not interfere with the worship of the moon, so he felt that it did not matter.
"Old Val, why don't you bring someone to fight again?"
Kota laughed and teased, much to Val's embarrassment. Fortunately, he didn't fall out last time, otherwise, he would be a little scared when he thinks about it.
The two of them had come to buy weapons this time, and the whites had sent troops to the land again, and the chiefs of the tribes were also uneasy, who knew if the whites with machine guns and cannons would break into their tribes next time.
Boom, there was an explosion in the west, did the artillery fire? Could it be that someone is coming to fight again? There was a commotion in the crowd.
"This is our leader leading our own soldiers to practice, please don't be impatient. In addition, the leaders of the coming tribes are invited to the reception station opposite, and we will arrange for the leaders of both sides to meet. ”
The yellow-skinned man stood on the steps and said loudly. Spy Zero II, the second spy created by Liang Hong. Who said that spies can only be sent to the enemy, and they can also be used on their own side. They had an intelligence far superior to that of ordinary soldiers, and although they were not as able to speak as missionaries, they knew how to judge the situation better than they were. Now, Spy Zero is in charge of receiving guests and internal guards, and Liang Hong has given him another name - Yunong. As for Spy Zero One is a white man, Liang Hong gave the name James Bond, who is responsible for foreign intelligence gathering. In his eyes, the organization led by two people, one is equivalent to Lao Chiang's internal military command, and the other is equivalent to the CIA in later generations.
On the northwest side of the base away from the temple, in the newly fenced fence, Liang Hong was organizing special training. Twenty new marksmen were trained here, and because the future hypothetical targets were the British and the Boers, they were all created only white, who could speak English and Dutch.
The explosion I heard outside was a thrown grenade. Grenades were not included in the list of manufactures of weapons workshops, and grenades in the modern sense were developed until they were massively used by both sides during the Russo-Japanese War. The wooden-handled grenade used now, Liang Hong's self-designed process pulling style, the process is simple. He combined his mechanics and craftsmen to create them semi-hand-by-hand and semi-mechanically. Due to the non-industrial production, the manufacturing cost is very high, and the cost of each grenade reaches 5 yuan, which is close to the cost of artillery shells.
The system-built shooter can shoot accurately at a distance of 400 meters with the Lee Enfield long rifle, and is very accurate in hitting both fixed and moving targets. However, these people are not outstanding in other aspects, and Liang Hong plans to train them, hoping to make them close to the combat ability of the special forces of later generations, and then realize the special operations he conceived.
After knowing that there was a limit to the number of soldiers created by the system, he began to control the number of ordinary soldiers, and planned to use the quota for special soldiers, that is, those high-tech troops newly added to the secondary base. As for the other ordinary soldiers, he wanted to recruit and train among the followers of the Ming Sect, and he even thought of returning to China to recruit Chinese soldiers.
The weapons he envisioned for the special forces included two types of weapons: hot and cold weapons. Cold weapons include crossbows for long-range sneak attacks and daggers for hand-to-hand combat, and hot weapons include grenades and Mauser 96 rifles captured from the Boers, which are more accurate than the Lee Enfield long rifles. In terms of pistols, Liang Hong plans to use automatic pistols to increase his firepower, but the most common thing in this era is still revolvers, and he is buying a German Mauser C96 pistol through Fennia.
Liang Hong himself has received special training and is familiar with the requirements and training content of modern special forces. Later generations of special forces need to master the skills of combat, mobility, infiltration, reconnaissance and espionage, but the systematically built shooters are the same as ordinary soldiers in addition to being good at gun shooting, especially the learning ability is very limited, and there are no cars, planes and tanks in this era, and some special forces skills in later generations are not used. Therefore, Liang Hong deleted and simplified it, and formed his simplified version of the training syllabus.
In terms of combat skills, Liang Hong still hopes that his special forces will be proficient in all kinds of weapons, including all kinds of guns and grenades, and there is no need for anti-tank and the like. In hand-to-hand combat, in view of the poor learning ability of the shooter, he only practiced the one move commonly used in later generations to defeat the enemy. He attaches great importance to fighting in the streets and fighting at night and being able to escape. The future combat mode conceived by Liang Hong is to strike quickly, leave after the fight, and attack in unexpected places for the enemy.
In terms of mobility skills, later generations put special emphasis on vehicle driving, and now there are no cars, and more training is horseback riding, or maybe the use is to pick up a train, but it is not possible to practice for the time being. Penetration skills are selectively retained, and skydiving is not needed now, climbing, cross-country marching, etc. Good thing in the system made of fighters. They are excellent in terms of physical fitness, there is no night blindness, Liang Hong just trains them to become more familiar with gadgets such as hooks, which are all designed by himself.
Later generations of special forces need to master lurking, eavesdropping, capturing, interrogation and password communication, Liang Hong only intends to turn his special forces into a more pure action team, so he specially incorporated a spy, and the ability of reconnaissance and espionage only needs to be trained to lurk and capture prisoners.
The last member of the special forces detachment built by Liang Hong is the San indigenous Hora. During this time, the little guy has been brainwashed by Temple Zero One in the temple, and according to Temple Zero One, he is already very close to a devout believer. The Hora people are very intelligent, good at crossbows and climbing, and they are good at pistols after practice, and they are very physically fit, and although they are short, they are fast runners. Compared to the system-created biochemical warriors, Hora's specialty is the shortcomings of others.
Right now, he's waiting for Bond to scout back, and now that Rhodes has sent an expeditionary force, he needs to pay homage to the past.
