Truly, Chuemon sent a telegram to Alcock, and Alcock also sent a telegram to Chuemon. Come on, Alcock ran to Edo directly.

The elite soldiers selected by three thousand British people have already been trained in the school grounds under Edo Castle. The officers are still samurai from the shogunate, but the staff members are all from the British military coaches. Perhaps it was a dangerous signal. Before setting off, Tadaoemon had to make it clear to the leader that he should not rush forward if he can.

Alcock came, of course, to urge this soldier and horse to get on the road. He has already transferred two cruise ships from Hong Kong. The shogunate itself dispatched a warship and a merchant ship to bring all the people on board and bring enough. The supply is up.

Not only is he anxious to do meritorious service, but also he hopes that the people here can quickly get in place so that he can reach out to the British and Indian governments for money. Hey, there is not much difference between Alcock and the ants on the hot pan.

In the telegram, Chungemon asked about the British military uniforms, and Alcock took the two uniforms of the British troops stationed in India directly. If the shogunate has time to do it, then do it quickly. If there is no time to do it, it will be fine. He followed to India and let the British and Indian government send it out.

I came with soldiers, can you still care about food and clothing?

It's your British and Indian government who is thirsty for soldiers, but it is not Alcock who is thirsty for soldiers. The truth is indeed the truth, but as we said earlier, the Indian native soldiers are all Kshatriya, and their height is generally higher than that of the Chuanxi team. The military uniforms may not be able to fit, so they should be ordered at Edo.

First make 3,000 sets of summer ones and bring them to the passing team. With the number of weavers available in the Edo market, as long as there is a pattern, they can be prepared in one day.

The two sat down on the sidelines of the school, and Alcock showed Tadaoemon the style. Since the Napoleonic Wars, the British military uniforms have been simplified for two reasons.

One is the issue of price. The gorgeous military uniforms represent more money. But everyone in the Napoleonic Wars also knew that hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized at once, at least one or two million sets of military uniforms, or even more. This one is less, it is astronomical.

The other is even simpler. Guns and cannons are developing rapidly, especially those of ornately decorated officers. In the war, those skirmishers, hunting soldiers, etc., are beaten one by one. The more gorgeous your uniform, the faster you will die.

The Lobster Soldier suit now appearing in front of Chuemon Gate is really far from Napoleon's time. The lobster soldier suit has been greatly simplified. The black agate buttons for decoration have become simple brass buckles, the black tassels on the shoulders have been removed, the dovetails of the red jacket have been cut off, and the silk decorations on the sleeves have disappeared.

The big white pants that used to be bright are gone, now either black trousers or dark blue trousers, then military boots or sandals, gone.

As for the khaki uniform that Sukeru gave Chuemon before, it was also one of the uniforms. Many Indian soldiers wear this type, and Sikh soldiers will also wrap a large turban on their heads.

No need to choose, let's make that kind of khaki uniform first, Chuemon feels more suitable. In addition to military uniforms, there is also a military cap, or helmet.

The team originally used an array hat similar to the dish helmet. The effect of shielding the sun is not bad. As for the bullet-proof effect, it is basically negligible.

When I went to India, it was extremely hot and there were more mosquitoes. The dry and rainy seasons there are quite distinct. Jinkasa is not suitable in India. Tadashiemon tends to be the kind of fart curtain hat, or the white summer hat.

Alcock also brought a sample. This fart curtain cap is based on a French tube cap with a curtain on three sides except the front, which not only shades but also prevents mosquitoes. It is very suitable for use in India, and this thing does not need to be concerned about the problem of height or not, let the British and Indian government directly adjust 10,000 to 20,000.

The two agreed that when the vessel has finished adding coal and water, they can set off here. And when all came, Alcock asked if he could see the live ammunition exercises of the selected veterans of the transfer team.

No problem, they were all trained by British police officers, and there is no difference between them and the British army. Moreover, this group of people have experienced wars, they should have seen blood before, and the combat effectiveness is absolutely not hip.

Amidst the whistles of the officers and the beats of the drummers, the soldiers lined up. Just by looking at the posture, it meant two or three points of strength. This discipline is definitely stronger than the native soldiers recruited by the British in Southeast Asia, and the native soldiers from India can definitely break their wrists.

Then there were tactical performances such as salvos, rounds, and free shots. Similarly, no mistakes were singled out. After all, he has been a veteran for several years, and he has enough experience and training.

Alcock was very happy to see Alcock. He had heard the story of his predecessor Elkin, and knew that Elkin had hired Japanese cannon fodder~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Originally thought that as long as the team had a stand, he would do it. Satisfied. It now appears that the Chuan-Xi team definitely has a certain combat effectiveness.

As long as the team is brought to India, it is time for him to make Alcock contributions!

The soldiers of the mission team who turned their heads and put on new uniforms were taken by trains to Yokohama, and then boarded in Yokohama to embark on a six-month trip to India. There are crowds of onlookers on the pier. After all, so many soldiers and horses are going to foreign countries. It must be big news.

Among all the discussions, a British communications ship entered the port of Yokohama. The ship was not big, so it drove over from Hong Kong, and didn't even go to Shanghai to make a stop, just to hurry up.

Letters from Prince Albert and Queen Victoria need to be forwarded to Alcock, the British Minister to Japan. The visitor didn't know the content of the letter, so he didn't care about the soldiers of the mission team who were leaving on the pier. He just sent the letter to Alcock and it was done.

He rushed to the British Embassy in Yokohama City, and the entourage in the embassy told him that Minister Alcock is at the pier, and you have gone wrong. The messenger didn't know Alcock, so he had no choice but to ask someone to take him to find Alcock.

At the pier, the three thousand missions have all boarded, and the cruise ship slowly sailed out of Yokohama Port. Alcock prepared to board the Shogun’s warship "Kasuga Maru" and set off for India under the farewell of managers and compradors who lent him more than one million.

The messenger, led by the entourage of the embassy, ​​hurried to the dock and sent the letters of the two majesty to Alcock. Alcock opened the letter with a puzzled face. After reading it quickly, he showed symptoms such as trembling eyelids, shaking hands, and unconscious lips opening and closing.
