Tang Ning also sighed: "Well, this language barrier is indeed a big trouble, besides Turkey, there are other countries that have also had problems because of the language barrier?"

"Why not, as the host, South Korea also made jokes because of this, probably because it was annexed by Japan too early, so there are no military terms in Korean such as the Ground Defense Theater, which are all translated from English, maybe the level of translators at that time was not good, and many words were translated quite bluntly, and now we often use these words as jokes. I'll test you two, like what does a gun that shoots very fast mean"

Downing thought for a moment and said, "The gun that hits fast, that's a machine gun"

"That's right, this one is relatively simple, I'll test you hard, what does it mean to light the candle in the bowl"

"Can't guess."

"Hehe, you can't guess it, it's a car headlight. If you think about how funny it would be to write a report of orders and orders written in these nonsense words, Koreans can only read it so-so, make up and use it peacefully, and if the report written by the Han ** official is turned back to English according to the cat's drawing, then the fun will be even greater. This is true, but modern Korean may have been updated and modified.

Speaking of this, McKee paused for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "But it's not fair to the Koreans just to say that, although they can't fight wars, they are still very good at logistics." In the infantry units of the U.S. Army and the British Commonwealth Army, basically each battalion is equipped with a carrying company composed of personnel of the South Korean National Guard. It was also a coolie-style job, which was seen as a daunting path, so it was all up to these Korean personnel to take on the responsibility of porters.

It is said that it is a member of the National Guard, but in fact, it is a person who is too old or in poor physical condition to fight in zuo. However, they are generally very diligent in their work and can be relied on, so the US and British military often have a higher evaluation of them than they do for the ROK combat units. In particular, there was a battalion commander named Foster in Britain, who personally went to the political mobilization when the transport company came to report for duty, and not only talked about the history and traditions of the unit, but also talked about his own family history, and the battalion commander's old father was also an officer of the battalion before, so that the Korean porters felt that they were already a member of the historical army of the British Empire. The battalion commander also told his Korean audience how important their work was, and the victory in the battle, pointed to them. ”

Downing smiled: "What a cunning British, by the way, their British Empire's army should be much stronger than those ragtag armies." ”

Mike thought about it and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't say it, this time it's the British who have the most jokes." On one occasion the 27th Brigade of the British Army marched in overnight in a small town not far south of Pyongyang. I didn't expect to encounter the People's Army in the mass withdrawal of TUI, in the dark night. The teams of the two armies collided together, and the British army was at a disadvantage in numbers, which was quite nervous, but I didn't expect the North Koreans to behave very strangely, clapping their hands and shouting slogans, bluffing the British one by one. I couldn't understand what the North Koreans were saying, but I didn't dare to speak. At this time, a man who looked like a Korean officer came up and accosted a British officer, and the British understood what was going on. How can you find out, hold it hard, reach out and take the cigarette handed by the other party, and light it on someone's lighter. It's a pity that it didn't last long, and finally the North Koreans also understood, and with an exclamation, the two teams dispersed and opened fire.

It turns out that although the North Koreans are used to seeing us Americans, they have never seen the British, and the British dress a little strangely, with hats and scarves, the North Koreans regard them as Soviets, and blame them for being sick and rushed to the hospital, always thinking that the Soviet Red Army cannot stand by and watch, and must send troops to defend Pyongyang, haha. ”

Tang Ning laughed and said: "This thing is really funny, there are no British jokes"

Mike took a sip of his wine and said, "Of course." Speaking of which, the British troops participating in the war this time are second only to our Americans. In addition to immediately dispatching the 27th Brigade headquarters from Hong Kong with two infantry battalions, and the other battalion remaining in Hong Kong to Pusan, the 29th Brigade was reorganized on the mainland and prepared to be sent to Korea.

Unlike the 27th Brigade that was sent out in a hurry, the 29th Brigade is much more complete, in addition to three infantry battalions, it is also equipped with an armored regiment and a field artillery regiment, and the British armored regiment and field artillery regiment are actually only equivalent to the tank battalion and field artillery battalion of the US army. However, the British Empire, which had been devastated in World War II, was now in its twilight, and the mobilization of a mere 29th Brigade also caused great trouble to the British defense system, not to mention the transfer of personnel, but also in terms of equipment: cars that had been sealed in warehouses in 1946 191819 sealskin hats left over from the Russian intervention in 1940, boots made in preparation for the expedition to Finland in 1940, were all collected and equipped with the 29th Brigade. Tell me what this has become, and it is said that they also looted a lot of materials that we had planned to burn to prevent them from being taken by China, such as tents, heaters, rice cookers, etc., and they took whatever they saw, as if they had never seen anything good. ”

Downing knew about what Mack was talking about, even better than Mack, because the looting of the 29th Brigade of the British Army during the Korean War was quite famous, and it is said that not only the British army, but even the accompanying reporters intervened.

Next, because Mike drank too much, he didn't talk so in detail, and a lot of it was passed by. For example, in France, because the French Foreign Legion has always been strong in combat, everyone has high hopes, but the French had already caught fire in the backyard of Vietnam at that time, and they had no intention of committing more troops in Korea, so they only sent a symbolic battalion.

Although Canada has sent a joint navy, land and air force, it has not contributed troops and fought very few battles.

At that time, Ethiopia was still imperial, and Emperor Haile Serahi was an anti-Gongist, so he sent a battalion of 1,100 men from the most elite Praetorian Guard to participate in the battle, with high morale and often participating in melee combat.

Greece sent a regiment of only five hundred men and an air force group to the battle, New Zealand sent 500 artillery pieces claiming a regiment and two frigates, and Australia sent an armored brigade of 4400 people.

Other Sweden, India, Denmark, Norway, Italy sent hospitals and hospital ships for the "United **" and did not directly send troops to the battle. To be continued
