Ming Zuo

"Put your chests up, your heads up, and your spirits. Let our allies take a good look at the soldiers of the British Empire."

On the pier by the sea in Chennai, Captain Turner Rice carefully inspected his company.

Today is the day for the arrival of allies from various countries.

Turner Rice felt that a good comparison must be made in order to compete for more voice among the Allied forces.

The 170 soldiers had already assembled, and all of them were changed into the cleanest and neatest military uniforms. They were spotless all over, and their muskets were all wiped to reflect the light.

Under the bright sunshine, the fiery red military uniforms are so bright that the British soldiers look like proud roosters.

"coming!"

Turner Rice quickly looked towards the sea, only to see a large number of dilapidated sailboats trembling forward.

The first to arrive was the army of the Kingdom of Kandy.

It is not so much an army as a beggar.

Tens of thousands of people couldn't make up neat clothes, and all of them were in tatters.Behind is a large group of monks, their bald heads are very shiny.

Although the number of people contrasted strongly, Turner Rice was very happy.

He evaluated the weapons and equipment of both sides, and quickly came to a conclusion.

As long as there are two British companies, he is confident that he can defeat the mob in front of him.

After the army of the Kingdom of Kandy, came the army of the Netherlands.

This is a subject worthy of Turner Rice's attention.

After all, both the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are maritime powers in Europe, and they have been in constant conflict. The armies of the two countries have occasionally fought against each other.

However, in Asia, the United Kingdom is not yet the opponent of the Dutch, so it is necessary to check the strength of the Netherlands.

Although allies now, who knows how long this alliance will last?

The warships of the Dutch are undoubtedly much better, including three third-tier battleships purchased from the empire.

Looking at the oppressive battleship, Turner Rice couldn't help frowning.

If it's just an army confrontation, he is very confident.But the warships of the East India Company here may not be the opponents of the Dutch.

Compared with the powerful warships, the appearance of the Dutch army made him sneer.

The Dutch military uniforms still maintain a rather ancient style. Not to mention the armor on their bodies, they actually wear pointed iron helmets on their heads, as if they came out of the middle ages through the fog of history.

On the contrary, the British army has undergone reforms, and the influence of the New Model Army has spread throughout the army, and the outdated armor has long been cancelled.

After the Kandy Kingdom army and the Dutch army arrived, they were stationed on both sides, and at the same time they kept checking the British army.

They are really envious of the bright red uniforms of the British army, and at the same time they are trying to learn their strengths.

However, all of this disappeared after the Wehrmacht arrived.

Hundreds of ships of all kinds swarmed into the port, completely seizing momentum.

Whether it was the British, the Dutch, or the Kandy people, they all stared wide-eyed, reluctant to move away from the empire's warships.

The warships of the Empire are almost identical to the Dutch warships from a distance, but the difference is very obvious when you get closer.

At the very least, the exposed artillery is completely different, and the rocket launchers at the bow and stern are also weapons that these people have never seen before.

When the ship docked, a large number of naval officers and soldiers relaxed.

It was also the first time for them to come to Tianzhu, because they all leaned on the side of the boat to watch the excitement.

And their appearance was naturally seen clearly by the people on the shore.

In the eyes of Turner Rice, the costumes of these Imperial Navy soldiers are very different.

It looks baggy, but it is very comfortable to walk on.The dark blue tone is on the narrow and cramped boat, but it will not look sloppy due to heavy labor.

In particular, the military uniform is stuffed in the high-top military boots, which makes the soldiers look very clean and neat, adding a bit of heroism.

The hats worn by the soldiers of the Imperial Navy were also dark blue and very soft. Only a small brim of the front hat protruded from the eyebrows and eyes, but it could well shade the sun.

Turner Rice is an experienced soldier, and after a brief look, he found that the uniforms of the Wehrmacht were very unusual.

Ordinary occasions do not seem to be heavy appearance, and the color is deep, not gorgeous enough.But when it comes to the battlefield, the movements are definitely better than the tight and close-fitting military uniforms of the British army.

The uniforms of the British army are very straight, which can be regarded as the embryonic form of uniforms for later generations.

In the 21st century, the guard of honor in Downing Street was like that.

The military trousers of the British army are white and very close-fitting. At first, the calves were tightly wrapped by silk stockings, and finally sank into the shoes.

The most exquisite British soldiers even added lace trim to the bottom of the jacket.

The spirit is the spirit, but the discomfort is also really uncomfortable.

The imperial warships are parked.

The hatch opened, and the No.12 Regiment of the Third Marine Division began to disembark.

When they saw the Marine Corps, everyone on the shore couldn't help but widen their eyes.

The Army of the Marine Corps is the standard pattern of the Army of the Wehrmacht.

In this era, there is no need to use navy blue military uniforms. The so-called invisibility effect is purely superfluous.Therefore, the army style of the Marine Corps is the same as that of the ordinary army, but it is also amazing enough.

The only thing that has changed is the color of the uniform.

The military uniforms of the National Defense Forces were originally blue, which was inherited from the Ming army, and later changed to khaki.

However, under Zuo Menggeng's strong request and vigorous research and development, it has finally been replaced with khaki.

Yes, the Dye Division of the Military Uniform Department of the Logistics Department has finally come up with khaki.

Now the Wehrmacht has completed a general facelift, and it has received unanimous praise.

Khaki jacket military uniform, shiny leather military boots, if you replace the Minie rifle in your hand with an M1 Garand rifle, it is almost exactly the same as the U.S. military in World War II.

This kind of military uniform was brought to the seventeenth century, which naturally opened the eyes of people of this era.

But the people on the shore were soon attracted by other things.

Heavy equipment began to be unloaded.

The eyes of soldiers from other countries lit up when they saw completely different cannons.

They really wanted to go up and take a closer look, but it was a pity that the No.12 regiment had already set up a posture and declined to visit for the time being.

Heavy artillery, light artillery, and rocket launchers were opened one by one, making everyone feel the murderous intent of destroying the world.

But the equipment of the infantry is also not bad.

Turner Rice carefully counted that in every 30-man team of the National Defense Forces, there are two groups of four soldiers each carrying a thick iron pipe on their backs, with various tools such as sites and shelves attached.

This should be a cannon, but I don't know what it is.

However, it can be carried by soldiers on foot, so it is obviously very light in weight.

Of course he understands what it will be like if he can get the support of artillery in the complex terrain!
Almost from the moment the Wehrmacht disembarked, Turner Rice had a strong interest and decided that he must study this army in the future.
