Chapter 126: Disguise
Although the MP series of submachine guns fit well with Barty Crouch's vision, there is a very serious problem now, that is, the MP submachine gun was born in 1917, a full 15 years before now.
Arthur could only tell the military factory about the design and general appearance of the submachine gun, and the rest of the matter could only depend on these experts in the military factory.
In order not to delay training, all personnel of the Royal Security Intelligence Service were uniformly trained with Lee Enfield rifles and must also be familiar with all the weapons currently in Australia's possession, including artillery and machine guns.
In order to train these personnel in various abilities, Barty Crouch also specially asked them to learn how to drive a car and a small warship.
Yes, as new cars have begun to be mass-produced, the names of the cars are also known to more Australians.
Barty Crouch also understands the potential of cars, so he specifically requires all his subordinates to learn how to drive cars, and even master this skill.
To this end, the Royal Security Intelligence Service specially purchased hundreds of cars from the Benz Automobile Factory in advance, and on the premise of one each, let these trainees do a lot of practice and master the car driving skills as soon as possible.
Barty Crouch's approach to training is no cruelty. These Guards soldiers thought that the training in the Guards was already very harsh, but they did not expect that the training after coming to the Security Intelligence Bureau would be even more ruthless.
Can you believe that a man who is proficient in all kinds of weapons, and who is also proficient in the use of modes of transportation, including horse-drawn carriages, automobiles, ships, and small warships, is in Barty Crouch's description a man who is qualified to enter an intelligence organization?
Arthur even saw the scenes of various special forces training in later generations in Barty Crouch's intelligence officer training, and if it weren't for the fact that tanks and planes were not born now, Arthur suspected that Barty Crouch would definitely let these new intelligence officers master the piloting of tanks and planes.
However, Arthur is happy to see this, as the intelligence officers are more capable and more effective in exploring information.
The ability of the members of the Royal Security Intelligence Service (HSI) to serve as Arthur's eyes for controlling Australia and even exploring the world is important.
Arthur didn't want the intelligence officers he had worked so hard to send out were incapable, not only unable to complete the assigned tasks, but even potentially dragging down the entire mission or even the Royal Security Intelligence Service behind it.
Under Barty Crouch's various training systems, although the Royal Australian Security Intelligence Service is only a few hundred people, it actually costs a lot of money, consuming thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds a month.
Although each intelligence officer costs several times as much as a Guards soldier, this training method is also very effective, and in just two months, almost all intelligence officers have mastered the driving of a car, and have become familiar with a series of weapons such as the Lee Enfield rifle, the MA-96 Maxim machine gun, and the CA-1 machine gun.
Sydney, Australia, September 3, 1902.
Like the establishment of the Royal Security Intelligence Service, quietly, almost the entire Security Intelligence Service was dispatched, divided into small teams of three or four people, and took ships to the surrounding countries and regions in batches, and then arrived at the destination of India, at a different point in time.
South India.
Although it was September, the climate in tropical southern India was still unusually hot, and the fierce sun scorched the earth, which not only brought cracks to the fields, but also made the people walking on the road a little more prostrations and heat.
On the hot dirt road, three people who looked like refugees walked in the scorching sun.
Although their demeanor seemed a little strange among the people around them, their white skin and British appearance also made the nearby Indians afraid to speak.
"It's damn weather, and I bet it's not half as comfortable as Australia." When there was no one around, one of them complained quietly.
"Shut up, Vaal. Aren't we all the same? Exposure to this damn weather. Don't forget what you're doing right now, we're on a mission assigned by His Highness the Great Duke. The leader reminded.
Hearing about Arthur's mission, the man named Val obediently closed his mouth, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to walk.
"It's supposed to be there, right? Captain. Judging by the simple map we bought from Vasaka, we should be only a few kilometers away from the temple. The other of the three looked at the crumpled and scribbled map in his hand and asked uncertainly.
"Who knows? Keep walking until you find that damn temple. The captain spread his hands, indicating that he could not do anything about the scribbled map.
In fact, they bought the map from the local villagers for some money, under the pretext that they came to visit but didn't know what good spots were nearby.
At this time, there are still a lot of British people who come to India to play, and no one will doubt that this small group has any other purpose, let alone the appearance of a British.
Given that India has thousands or even tens of thousands of British tourists every year, the more than 100 people invested by the Royal Security Intelligence Service are not so remarkable.
This was the first mission of the Royal Security Intelligence Service since its inception, and it was a mission that Arthur took very seriously.
In order to complete this mission well, Barty Crouch even decided to personally lead the team and dispatch most of the members of the Security Intelligence Service to complete Arthur's mission perfectly and quickly.
In fact, with the exception of Barty Crouch, the members of the Security Intelligence Service are not yet aware of their specific mission.
They only know that their final destination is near a temple somewhere in southern India, and that they want to get there as soon as possible to step on the spot.
In order not to be obtrusive, Barty Crouch split the more than 100 people into squads of three or four people, and assigned a specific captain to each squad.
Most of these squads were disguised as expeditions and caravans, as well as refugees like the one Vaal was in.
But no matter how their identities change, their destination is the same, that is, to be safe and get to the vicinity of the temple as soon as possible, and to explore the nearby intelligence in the shortest possible time.
Although it is not clear what the great attraction of this temple in southern India is that the great Duke Arthur himself ordered the Royal Intelligence Service to step on it.
But under Barty Crouch's training, these intelligence officers don't ask too much, and they have only one purpose, which is to complete their mission quickly and effectively and safely.
The second more, ask for support! During the New Year, I can only maintain two shifts, so I'm sorry. Wait until the sixteenth day of the new year, and let's resume the three watches. During the period, there may be three more or two more, but the guarantee is that there will be no less than two more, ask for support!
(Also, there are different values for temple treasures, so I've taken one of them, so please see the settings in this book for details.) )
