Chapter 133 Shocked Freeman
As soon as the camera turns, the payment attitude of the United States of America can be said to be too refreshing.
The black soldiers in Cuba were given to the Americans at their cost, and the Spanish government even had to pay the freight itself to complete the transportation of the troops.
But relative to the stability of Cuba, this level of consumption is completely acceptable.
At least avoid the blackening of Cuba.
Although they haven’t fired a single shot, these black soldiers still look good. At least they are lined up neatly and their uniforms are not so messed up.
And the officers leading this group of black soldiers are also very eye-catching, all white officers from Spain.
“General Freeman, look at how this army is. These are soldiers trained by our officers.”
The port of Norfolk, not far from Richmond, officially received more than 10,000 Cuban reinforcements.
The Spanish army general Juan looked at the American generals in front of him with contentment. Compared with the American army, at least the march of this group of black people had the appearance of a regular army.
Unlike the Americans, the Spanish Army pays attention to the neatness of the march. The nature of the soldiers is to obey, and a neat queue can cultivate the habit of obeying the soldiers.
“It’s not bad, but the real fighting power of these black people still needs to be considered.”
Filliman looked at the black army in front of him with disdain. In the era of white supremacy, the fighting power of blacks has always been undervalued.
During the Civil War, the North used to hire the black army of the country, but in most cases, it was actually used as cannon fodder.
“Although it is not as good as your country’s professional army, if the role is to consume the northern army, then they can definitely complete the task well.”
Juan smiled slightly, and was not angry with Filliman’s words. If compared to racial discrimination, Spain can proudly say that it is no less than any country.
“However, the hundreds of officers in this army are all our Spanish regular army. I think I can look forward to their performance on the battlefield.”
Juan’s racism is true, but so is his confidence in the soldiers of the Spanish Army.
The officers of this group of black soldiers are all regular soldiers in the Spanish army, and there is absolutely no need to say more about their military literacy.
A lion led by a sheep is no match for a sheep led by a lion.
For Juan, the Spanish Army was the lion of the population.
“That is indeed worth looking forward to, but I think your country can completely dispatch a group of officers to conduct comprehensive professional training for our army!”
“Compared to these black soldiers, I think white soldiers are the real main force on the battlefield, aren’t they?”
Filliman looked at the Spanish soldier in front of him, tall, majestic and solemn, and thought of the unhappy army soldier of the American army, and he couldn’t help but think carefully.
The strength of the Spanish Army is recognized by the world, even if it is not recognized in the heart, but this is an excellent opportunity to learn from the Spanish.
Even hands-on teaching on the battlefield.
If there are more American soldiers who have really learned something, it will definitely be beneficial to the US Army. ,
“Of course there is no problem, but your country may need to dispatch a group of officers to command this group of black soldiers. After all, the number of officers we can assist your country is limited.”
“I think we’re more interested in strengthening your regular army than in training these blacks.”
Juan extended his hand to Filliman and directly agreed to the American request.
Compared with commanding this group of black soldiers who are destined to become cannon fodder, it is better to train and command the regular army of the United States in the rear.
The Spanish army was small in number, and the generals valued the lives of their subordinates very much, not to mention the considerable subsidies after the soldiers died.
“If your country is interested, I think we can send a group of officers now to take a look at your country’s army.”
Juan made a request to Freeman. Although the American military outside is very unbearable, it is still not easy to draw conclusions without seeing it on the ground.
But the news of the U.S. Army’s disastrous defeat to the Indians in the West made Juan show a trace of contempt for the U.S. Army.
“No problem, then please accompany me, Your Excellency General.” Freeman replied.
“The first class! Abandon the task in hand and gather all!”
Huan suddenly ordered loudly, and now the closest soldiers to the first squad are the soldiers of the first group, and some soldiers are dispatched to investigate the situation first.
Dozens of Spanish army soldiers in black uniforms were quickly dispatched from the team, and they were lined up in an instant.
“Count the numbers!
”
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…”
…..
Under Juan’s order, the soldiers of the first group quickly and neatly completed all relevant instructions.
Neat and uniform movements, firm tone, tall and mighty figure…
In front of foreigners, these young Spanish lads showed extraordinary form, plus these themselves are veterans of many battles.
In the aspect of his momentum, he was really shocked by General Filliman~www.readmtl.com~ It is no exaggeration to say that he is envious. The military makeup shown by the Spanish soldiers has left the US army several streets away.
Juan behind Feiliman, looking at the former with shocked eyes, couldn’t help feeling proud. Although it was well concealed, Juan clearly saw the change in Filliman’s expression.
There is a trace of disdain in my heart, the Spaniards not only discriminate against indigenous and black people, but all non-European races…
“General Freeman, please lead the way!”
Juan gestured to Feiliman with a flat smile, proud of the performance of his soldiers.
“Oh! Please follow me!”
After speaking, they turned around and started to lead the way. The Spanish soldiers lined up in two neat queues, following behind the two of them.
With a uniform pace, General Freeman could not help but start to pay attention to his actions, not wanting the U.S. Army to lose too ugly in this comparison.
“The gap is really too big…”
Filliman sighed inwardly, as a general, the abilities of the soldiers on both sides were also one of the motivations for the comparison.
The army brought out by powerful generals and incompetent generals can be clearly seen from the appearance.
But while a little ashamed, I can’t help but look forward to what the US Army will look like after being trained by Spanish soldiers.
If it can reach this point, the combat effectiveness in the war is naturally not comparable to those of the former colleagues in the north.
In the final analysis, before the split, they all exist together as the US Army, and there is no substantial gap between the two sides.
The soldiers of the Confederate States did not go to war with the Spanish soldiers, but against the United States of the North, and no one knew better than themselves what the enemy was.
