Chapter 222: The City of Soldiers
"Is this wall built? Nothing else? ”
"Yes, at least I guess they must be like this, they have already built a lot, so this low wall is probably repaired like this."
"Well, you think that's a waste, aren't you? A good house is built with a frame, and at first I thought that a lot of immigrants would move in Juba City! As a result, after a long time, I built so many useless things, and I was blind to such good cement and bricks. ”
"That building has been built, and I don't see any follow-up results for them."
For the citizens of Juba City, the military has built a strange place in the south of the city, and what a strange method, that is, it has spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build a bunch of uninhabitable houses.
At the beginning, the citizens of Juba City who participated in the help thought that this was the expansion of Juba City, because East Africa has developed rapidly in recent years, and the number and area of cities are also increasing, and the urban development is okay.
After all, Juba Province is the capital of the Nile Province, and it is not impossible to arrange immigration if it is to be expanded.
However, the 311th Division, which made a big move, finally built a bunch of semi-finished products in the south of the city, and there was no way to live in it, but the 311th Division did not move away.
The so-called semi-finished product actually looks more like a newly built city near Juba City, except that the city is extremely eccentric.
This is the urban terrain simulation site of the Juba Comprehensive Training Base, which is a training ground for the study of urban fortification and street warfare in East Africa.
It is said to be south of Juba City, but it is actually more than 10 kilometers southwest of Juba City, and there is even a tropical jungle between the two.
"This urban simulation field is modeled after the form of the eastern and western cities, and we have set up slums, ordinary residences, ruins, special buildings and other application scenarios to study the response plan of our army under the complex situation of urban terrain."
The 311th Division is still relatively clear about this urban simulation field near Juba City, and this place is used to deduce and train urban tactics.
East Africa has been established for such a short time, and there are no decaying cities, so this urban simulation field can only be built directly near Juba City, which has become a loser behavior in the mouth of some Juba citizens.
It is equivalent to building a city directly, and there is no output, and it cannot live in people, isn't this a mess of the project!
It seems to be unfinished, but the city simulation field that has actually been completed, of course, is not inhabitable, but there are military camps and other military facilities built in it, and it has nothing to do with civilian use, if you see this as a military city, it is very reasonable.
Even in order to simulate the urban environment in depth, a railway station and a port have been built here, but they are all prototypes.
After all, a remote area like Juba is not connected to the East African railway network, the railway station is just a fixture, and the same is true of the port, and there is not even a river nearby.
East Africa will naturally build a railway here in the future, but there is no plan to do so in the short term, and because it is a military area, only a side line will be built here that extends from Juba City.
Although it is called the Juba Comprehensive Training Base, it covers an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers and spans three provinces (Nile Province, Novobavaria Province and Beidahu Province).
This area is even larger than the area of many small countries, and of course, it is impossible to use all of them in East Africa, and the area of the military development zone currently planned is 2,000 square kilometers.
This training ground is closest to Juba, the capital of the Nile Province, so it is known as the Juba Comprehensive Training Base.
If there is anything to do with Juba City, it is that Juba City helped during the construction, after all, it is the capital of a province, so a lot of efforts were made in the construction of the Juba training base.
This is not without its benefits to the city of Juba, where the East African army will train in the future, and the Nile province will definitely be preferred for material procurement.
"The Ministry of National Defense's arrangement for the 311th Division is to supervise the work here first, to prevent the workers from running away, especially the blacks, the Nile Province is sparsely populated, and the environment is complicated, if the workers run away, it will be difficult to find, in order to empty the black people in the Nile River Province, but it took several years of effort, and it has not completely eliminated the fish that have slipped through the net in the province, so when you are engaged in construction, I have kept a close eye on the blacks."
This is the same as the Congo rainforest area in East Africa, how many people live in it, East Africa is not clear at all, the indigenous people in the tropical rainforest may only be a dozen people is a small village, and the distribution is extremely scattered, so East Africa has not ended the investigation of wild black people.
"Please rest assured by the superiors, even if they want to escape, there is not much threat, this population reproduction is a matter of men and women in the final analysis, the black laborers we supervise are all men, even if they run away, there is no way to reproduce, after a generation it will be gone, and the environment in the Nile Province is so bad, they may not be able to survive if they escape."
"You can handle this point, so I won't say more."
"Lieutenant General Roled, will our division still stay here after the construction is completed?" The commander of the 311th Division asked.
"I can't give you a clear answer for the time being, but there is a high probability that you don't have to return to your previous station, after all, so many military facilities have been built, and you definitely need someone to stay and take care of them every day, and this is called the Juba Comprehensive Training Base, which naturally means that this place will be built as a training ground for the East African Army, so it will be quite lively here in the future, and other brother troops may also come here for training."
"This is also true, if this training base is the largest in terms of scale alone, it is probably the largest in the world, that is, the whole country can train here together."
"Don't think about it in the short term, the transfer of troops is not so easy, in the future, it will be possible to connect here by rail, otherwise if you come here on foot, there are not many troops who will do this, you are also close, so let your division supervise the work, and by the way, move the station, this is also the first month near the water."
The 311th Division was originally stationed in Novobavaria, that is, in the eastern part of the Azande Plateau, and the climate may have been better, but the facilities were not as good as the Juba comprehensive training base.
The harsh climatic conditions of the Nile Province happen to be one of the important reasons why East Africa has placed its training base here.
The army is not a family, but a force that has always been iron and bloody, so it is indispensable to cultivate the spirit of hardship and hard work and hard struggle in the army.
The plateau region of East Africa, which is said to be in, is actually a comfortable nest, warm in winter and cool in summer, and after solving the problem of backwardness, it is a very comfortable and livable area.
And the sweltering environment of the Nile province can naturally give strength to the East African army, hone their willpower, and it does not require much training, it is enough to make people sweat.
And this is exactly what Ernst wants, in the future, East African soldiers will inevitably fight in the tropics, so resistance to humidity and heat is one of the essential skills of the East African Army.
