Chapter 531 Soldier City

“Is this wall completed now? There are no other processes?”

“Yes, at least I guess they must be like this. They have built a lot, so this low wall is probably built in this way.”

“Oh, you think this is too wasteful, right? Just build a frame for a good house. At first, I thought that a lot of immigrants would be moved to Juba City! But after a long time of fuss, we just built so many of them. The only things used are such good cement and bricks.”

“The building has been built, but no follow-up results have been seen.”

To the citizens of Juba City, the military built a strange place in the south of the city. What a strange method. It 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 Juba City was expanding its capacity. Because East Africa has developed rapidly in recent years, the number and area of ​​cities have also increased, and urban development is not bad.

After all, Juba Province is the capital of the Nile River Province. If it wants to expand its capacity, it is not impossible to arrange immigration.

However, the 311th Division, which caused a huge disturbance, ended up building a pile of semi-finished products in the south of the city. There was no way for people to live there, but the 311th Division did not move away.

The so-called semi-finished product actually looks more like a newly built city near Juba, except that this city is extremely weird.

This is the urban terrain simulation field at the Juba Comprehensive Training Base, which is a training ground used for studying urban assault and street fighting in East Africa.

It is said to be in the south of Juba City, but it is actually more than ten kilometers southwest of Juba City. There is even a tropical jungle between the two.

“This urban simulation field is modeled on the shape of Eastern and Western cities. We have set up application scenarios such as slums, ordinary residences, ruins, and special buildings to study our army’s response plan under complex urban terrain.”

 The 311th Division is relatively clear about the urban simulation field near Juba City. This place is used for deduction and training of urban warfare.

Since East Africa was established in such a short time and there are no declining cities, this urban simulation field can only be built directly near Juba City. This has become a waste of money in the eyes of some Juba City citizens.

 It is equivalent to directly building a city, but there is no output and no people can live in it. Isn’t this an unfinished project?

Although it seems unfinished, the urban simulation field that has actually been completed is certainly not uninhabitable, but it contains military camps and other military facilities, which have nothing to do with civilian use. If you regard this place as a military city, it makes sense. .

 Even in order to simulate the urban environment in depth, a train station and a port were built here, but they were all just fake.

  After all, a remote area like Juba is not connected to the East African railway network. The train station is just a decoration, and the same is true for the port. There is not even a river nearby.

East Africa will naturally build a railway here in the future, but there are no plans to do so in the short term, and because it is a military area, only a deviation line will be built to extend from Juba City to here.

Future military mobilization will inevitably require railways. Although it is called the Juba Comprehensive Training Base, it spans three provinces (Nile Province, New Bavaria Province and North Great Lakes Province) and is a super training ground of more than 20,000 square kilometers.

 This area is even larger than that of many small countries. Of course, it is impossible to use all of East Africa. The currently planned military development zone area is two thousand square kilometers. This training ground is closest to Juba, the capital of Nile Province, so it is called the Juba Comprehensive Training Base.

  If it really has anything to do with the city of Juba, it is that the city of Juba had help during the construction. After all, it is the capital of a province, so a lot of effort was put into the construction of the Juba training base.

This is not without benefits for the city of Juba. In the future, the East African army will train here, and the Nile River Province will definitely be given priority in matters such as material procurement.

“The Ministry of National Defense’s arrangement for the 311th Division is to supervise the work here first to prevent workers, especially black people, from running away. The Nile River Province is sparsely populated and has a complex environment. If workers run away, it will be difficult to find them. In order to clear the Nile River Province, The black people in the province have spent several years of hard work and still have not completely eliminated the people who have slipped through the net in the province, so when you are engaged in construction, keep an eye on the black people.”

This is the same as the Congo rainforest area in East Africa. East Africa has no idea how many people live there. The indigenous people in the tropical rainforest may only have a dozen people in a small village, and the distribution is extremely scattered, so The investigation of wild black people in East Africa has never ended.

“Please rest assured, superiors, that even if they want to escape, there is not much of a threat. Population reproduction is ultimately a matter of men and women. The black workers we supervise are all male. Even if they run away, they will not be able to reproduce. They will be gone in a generation, and the environment in the Nile Province is so harsh that they may not be able to survive even if they escape.”

“You guys can take care of this, so I won’t say more.”

“Lieutenant General Rolade, will our division still stay here after the construction is completed?” asked the commander of the 311th Division.

“I can’t give you a clear answer for the time being, but there is a high probability that you will not need to return to your previous station. After all, so many military facilities have been built, and people will definitely be needed to stay and take care of them on a daily basis. Moreover, this is called the Juba Comprehensive Training Base , the intention above is to build this place into a training ground for the East African Army, so this place will be very lively in the future, and other brother troops will probably come here to train as well.”

“That’s true. In terms of scale alone, this training base is probably the largest in the world. It can even accommodate the entire army training here.”

“Don’t think about it in the short term. Army mobilization is not that easy. In the future, there will be a railway here. Otherwise, not many troops will do this on foot. You are just close, so let your division Come to supervise the work and move the station at the same time. This can be regarded as the first to get the moon near the water.”

The 311th Division was originally stationed in New Bavaria Province, which is the eastern area of ​​the Azande Plateau. The climate may have been better, but the facilities were not as good as the Juba Comprehensive Training Base.

The harsh climate conditions in the Nile Province happen to be one of the important reasons why East Africa placed its training base here.

 The army is not a family, but a force that always fights with iron and blood. Therefore, it is essential to cultivate the spirit of hard work and hard work in the army.

The plateau area of ​​East Africa is said to be there, but in fact it is a comfortable place. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. After solving the problem of backwardness, it will become a very comfortable and livable area.

The sweltering environment of the Nile Province can naturally increase the intensity of the East African troops and hone their willpower. It does not require much training, and it is enough to make people sweat.

 This is exactly what Ernst wants. In the future, East African soldiers will inevitably fight in tropical areas, so resistance to humidity and heat is one of the indispensable skills of the East African Army.
