Since the end of the Qing and Japanese War, Colonel Von Kariput has been very unhappy. He had already said that he was the commander of the Blue Legion, and he had promised that he would attack Japan's flanks on the inside. However, the actual situation could not keep up with the changes in the battlefield. The Qing army's defense line collapsed too quickly, and the Germans couldn't even withdraw, so they were forced to fight the Japanese army that turned around.

You don't know that the Germans fought pretty well, and they easily fought a high exchange rate battle. Then another unexpected thing happened. The Japanese were cowardly! They began to shrink their troops and operated carefully. At this time, there was a problem with the payment ability of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, the Blue Legion, which had no money, would not work. With some domestic instructions, the war passed like this! It was over! Colonel Karipmei also wanted to use this battle to become a general!

Seeing Schmidt, a minor generation, being on par with him, it would be impossible to say that the colonel had no complaints! So he seized every opportunity to show himself, but the problem now is that the world is very peaceful, well, Germany is very peaceful, the promotion channel within the German army is a bit narrow, so don’t think about formal things, so you can only find some evil ways, such as the Blue Legion in the Qing and Japanese War.

This time, Kruger was just in time to hire a German instructor. In principle, it was necessary to have experienced officers. Germany found Markenson. After all, this guy participated in the Qing-Japanese War and was on the front line. But the problem was that he was mainly an observer at that time. Although he commanded a battle on the battlefield, it was not enough to plan the overall situation. Moreover, the skill tree of this guy was all on the cavalry at this time, and even if the Boers lacked cavalry, it was a true portrayal of a professional mismatch!

Originally, Kruger wanted to invite Baron Schmidt, but now he is busy. After the war is over, he is busy sorting out his combat experience. He is busy giving speeches and teaching at major German military academies and troops. No matter what his qualifications are, no matter what his military rank is, it is a pity to win! Of course, although the Germans have always thought that the Japanese were broilers at first, this broiler also fought with the Russian army! If it were simply a war between Germany and Japan, there might be nothing to do with this result.

But on the same battlefield, the Japanese and Russians fought hard and had a slight advantage, which is enough to make people think deeply. Russians, everyone knows that European road rollers are quite powerful. Russia and Germany have never fought, but the Germans believe that at least one level of Russia and France, and that the Japanese can beat Russia, which means that the Japanese have a high combat effectiveness. The Blue Legion beat the Japanese, which means that the combat effectiveness of the Blue Legion is so high that it is not known where it goes. Other German troops have to admit that the Blue Legion is very capable of fighting, and Baron Schmidt is very powerful! If he is a Prussian, he can already join the General Staff!

The new rising star of Baron Schmidt is so bright! It directly blinded the eyes of people! And the original Blue Legion's highest commander Colonel Caripot was like sitting on wax. No one remembered that he was the highest commander of the Blue Legion. When someone talked about the Blue Legion, he would say, "This Legion knows, Baron Schmidt is simply cool! It's so amazing!" Caripot was so invisible.

For his own glory and to realize his own value! Colonel Caripot strongly asked his old boss, Prince Leopold, to give him a chance. The old prince couldn't hide his face and went to find his nephew, Prince Ruprecht. The latter was considering the issue of dispatching personnel. When he saw that this lazy guy in history suddenly had to work hard, he naturally had to give him a chance. Later, he was an important personnel of the General Staff of the Eastern Front battlefield. He didn't say anything about his ability, and directly commanding tens of thousands of people is naturally the same as playing.

So His Highness agreed to the colonel's request with a big pen. Colonel Kariput immediately formed his team, and then came to German Namibia with confidence. After waiting for Markensen and others, he came to the Transvaal Republic of Boers.

This time the colonel decided to play a big game. He was determined to train the Boers' army into the "Prussian Legion" of Africa in the next two years. And to establish a complete set of equipment and logistics system in accordance with the "Bavarian" standards!

Faced with the German military delegation, Kruger attached great importance to it and personally took Kariput to visit the Boers' army and training. These Boers who grew up in a fierce environment were indeed good in combat. Even if they were evaluated by Kariput's picky eyes, at least half of the Boers' young and middle-aged people could be called "savage"! Judging from their personal qualities alone, these people have very high combat qualities, their marksmanship and physical strength are absolutely first-class. Although they have not received too professional training, the wild paths and consciousness cultivated in long-term fighting and fighting are still quite terrible!

Coupled with advanced semi-automatic rifles and grenade launchers, Kariput believes that the combat effectiveness of an elite Boer squad is almost the same as that of the Blue Legion of the same number. This is already a very high evaluation! You know, the Blue Legion was selected from nearly 100,000 Bavarian Legion!

However, as the scale of the exercise continued to expand, Kariput finally discovered the problem, that is, the more troops the Boer Legion's combat effectiveness will not increase, but gradually decline! Let's put it this way, if three Boer and three German soldiers fight in a field environment, the latter may be beaten. If a class of Boer and a class of German soldiers fight, then both sides can tie. If they reach a company level, then the Boer will definitely be the slaughtered side!

The reasons for weapons must be admitted that as the size of the troops continues to increase, the amount of heavy firepower that the German army has increased much faster than the Boers. The German army can obtain support from 82mm mortars during company-level confrontations. The Boers use grenade launchers in class confrontations, but when they do, they still use grenade launchers... The firepower intensity has not been essentially improved.

Another reason is that although the Boers' personal qualities are excellent, they lack discipline. If they encounter a good match, they will naturally be full of morale. If they encounter a bad match, it will be the result of 20 shots! Moreover, the Boers' army itself is extremely unsuitable for tough battles, and their weapons, morale and discipline cannot adapt to siege battles. If they cannot pull out the opponent's solid stronghold, then the British can continue to support, and the Boers will be exhausted sooner or later.

Thanks to book friend JJ Belly, Hukaikaka, Fang Xiang for his reward in 2004~~~, and book friend 150512175247467, a hotbed girl (sorry, this word is afraid of harmony, I hope readers will understand it very much) monthly ticket support~~~~.

At the same time, two books are recommended, one of which is "The Hegemony of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty" written by the same group author Wu Yueweiqing. The slightly outrageous Tang Dynasty text has most historical events that remain unchanged and have slightly changed. You can take a look~~~.
