2023.06.10 15:25 _2_71828182845904523 Why is HWY 41 so heavily enforced south of Fond du Lac?
It's been like that for decades.
I understand there's a patrol headquarters nearby, so maybe it's just a proximity thing?
But still, everyone has to slow way down there compared to other areas. What's up with that stretch of 41 always being so bad with enforcement?

✨
'Calling all potential wyldnauts! Tired of adventuring on your boring home world? Wish you could take to the stars and forge a new destiny out in wildspace? Want your own flying ship? That's right, I said FLYING ship. All this and more could be yours as we travel across the Twixt to explore it's exotic locales, pillage it's dangerous dungeons, and meet it's diverse denizens! Sign up today!' 'Rise of the Wyldnaut' is a Spelljammer campaign like no other. Set in a homebrew universe known as the Twixt plane, players will get to commandeer their own spelljammer and travel the stars searching for adventure. Meet the factions of the Cosmo Consortium, travel to strange and unique worlds, and hopefully retire before being eaten by a stellar dragon! This planet-spanning odyssey will take characters from levels 3-10+.

StartPlaying Profile Hey everyone! My name is Jaso & I'm trying to find interested players to join my homebrew Spelljammer D&D games over on StartPlaying. I’m running a Thursday evening game @ 8pm EST. We're only a handful of sessions in and have room for 2 more interested players!
More about your DM I'm Jason/Gawd Mode and I've been a successful DM for over 8 years now. Expect great care in terms of session prep from my end, along with various visual usage via the Roll20 platform. I care deeply about my players experience and story in the worlds we play in and do my best to weave them into the narrative. To this end expect some customization for each adventure with stories and plots that aren't found in the officially published material. I'm happy to assist players in developing backstories and plot seeds for their characters over the course of a campaign. My approach is to ensure a truly unique experience for everyone involved! A lot of my content can be found over at my Twitch page if you're looking to see the type of DM style I run.
I work to ensure that every session you play with me is something fun and memorable, a story that can be shared years down the road with laughter and fondness. I would love to one day turn this into my professional career with your help. Lets create epic tales together!
Game Details and Extras Expect a fairly laid back wacky Spelljammer D&D experience set in a homebrew plane. We will be using a few homebrew mechanics on top of the standard D&D 5e rules system. I love to bring player actions to life, even during combat to help weave imagery in our minds. I tend to be pretty laid back in terms of allowing players to engage with the world however they wish, provided it does not impede on the fun of others at the virtual table. Will try to stick to the Rules as Written when possible, but plenty of opportunities to use the Rule of Cool.
PC romance between NPC's is allowed with a fade-to-black principle for any hard romance scenes. PC romance between PC's is typically not encouraged unless discussed beforehand and both parties consent. Evil characters are not encouraged but allowed provided they do not directly hinder the party.
Expect brief post session chats to discuss player feelings and iron out any issues during the session. If I notice a player issue I will speak with them privately to work it out, but will not hesitate in removing that person if they continue to be a problem for the table. Ensuring a welcoming, fun and positive atmosphere is an absolute must for my players.

Once created I will ask for either a link or pdf to your character sheet before our first official game session.

2023.06.09 13:13 Landry561 Guide de la pâtisserie pour les débutants : Tout ce qu'il faut savoir
| https://preview.redd.it/5n3g0a317z4b1.jpg?width=221&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8005ad8c598bf48e51fd255b92ab682605f0b744 Vous avez toujours voulu apprendre à faire de la pâtisserie, mais vous pensiez que c'était trop difficile ? Cet article est fait pour vous ! Avec un peu de temps et d'efforts, vous découvrirez rapidement que c'est plus simple que vous ne le pensez. Chez New Gen Baker, notre mission est de rendre la pâtisserie accessible à tous, c'est pourquoi nous avons élaboré ce guide pratique pour les débutants. Vous y trouverez tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour vous lancer dans la pâtisserie, y compris des recettes faciles à essayer. Le plus important est de lire les bases et de les mettre en pratique. Nous vous promettons que plus vous vous y mettrez, plus vous serez doué pour la pâtisserie ! Que faut-il donc pour devenir un maître pâtissier ? Que vous soyez débutant ou expert, voici les cinq compétences que vous devez acquérir : 1. Préparation et organisation Développer vos compétences en matière d'organisation est une nécessité absolue lorsqu'il s'agit de pâtisserie. Avant de vous lancer dans une recette, la première chose à faire est de lire et de comprendre chaque étape. S'il y a quelque chose que vous ne comprenez pas, faites des recherches. Ensuite, vérifiez la liste des ingrédients et notez les quantités. Assurez-vous d'avoir tout ce dont vous avez besoin avant de commencer. La dernière chose que vous souhaitez, c'est d'être au milieu d'une recette et de découvrir qu'il vous manque un ingrédient. La pâtisserie exige de la précision, alors assurez-vous d'avoir les bons outils de mesure pour obtenir les quantités dont vous avez besoin. Si vous oubliez un ingrédient ou sautez une étape, la qualité de vos produits de boulangerie risque d'en souffrir. - Soyez attentif aux détails
- Coordination main-œil
- Être patient
- Faire preuve de créativité
Il y a des tonnes d'ingrédients utilisés en pâtisserie, mais commençons par les bases et pourquoi elles sont importantes. 1. La farine Il existe plusieurs types de farine. Farine tout usage La farine tout usage est l'auxiliaire idéal pour la pâtisserie. Vous pouvez l'utiliser pour pratiquement tout, y compris le pain. Toutefois, le pain fabriqué avec ce type de farine a généralement une texture plus molle. La farine de blé entier est généralement utilisée pour les pains et constitue une bonne source de fibres. Elle ne convient pas pour les gâteaux et les biscuits, et les produits de boulangerie qu'elle permet d'obtenir ont une texture grossière. La farine pour gâteaux, comme son nom l'indique, est destinée à la préparation du roi (ou de la reine) de tous les desserts. Elle est fabriquée à partir d'une combinaison de blé rouge d'hiver et de blé tendre blanc. Outre les gâteaux à fort rapport sucre/farine, elle est également utilisée dans les croûtes de tarte, les biscuits et les pâtisseries. La farine est si polyvalente qu'elle est également utilisée pour le ménage. Voici un bref aperçu de ce que vous apprendrez dans cet article : Champorado Gâteau chaud au moka Gaufre Bibingka à l'avoine Pain à la banane et au velours rouge, aux noix et au fromage à la crème Gâteau au fromage au chocolat à la japonaise Muffins au maïs épicé Que faut-il donc pour devenir un maître boulanger ? Que vous soyez débutant ou expert, voici cinq compétences que vous devez acquérir : 1. Préparation et organisation Développer vos compétences en matière d'organisation est une nécessité absolue lorsqu'il s'agit de pâtisserie. Avant de vous lancer dans une recette, la première chose à faire est de lire et de comprendre chaque étape. S'il y a quelque chose que vous ne comprenez pas, faites des recherches. Ensuite, vérifiez la liste des ingrédients et notez les quantités. Assurez-vous d'avoir tout ce dont vous avez besoin avant de commencer. La dernière chose que vous souhaitez, c'est d'être au milieu d'une recette et de découvrir qu'il vous manque un ingrédient. La pâtisserie exige de la précision, alors assurez-vous d'avoir les bons outils de mesure pour obtenir les quantités dont vous avez besoin. Si vous oubliez un ingrédient ou sautez une étape, la qualité de vos produits de boulangerie risque d'en souffrir. 2. La fécule de maïs Il ne suffit pas de préparer vos ingrédients et vos outils de cuisson. Il n'est pas inutile de vérifier si vos ingrédients sont périmés ou si vous avez besoin de bicarbonate de soude au lieu de poudre à pâte. Vos ustensiles de cuisson doivent également être en bon état de marche. Les graduations de vos tasses et cuillères à mesurer sont-elles faciles à lire ? Les thermomètres et les balances fonctionnent-ils ? Le four a-t-il été nettoyé depuis la dernière fois que vous avez cuisinée ? Une attention particulière aux petits détails peut vous aider à éviter un désastre. 3. Agents levants Toutes ces magnifiques créations pâtissières dignes d'Insta en ligne peuvent défier l'imagination, mais elles ne sont pas hors de portée. Les techniques de pâtisserie telles que le glaçage et le givrage requièrent simplement de la pratique. N'oubliez pas que la coordination œil-main est une compétence qui s'apprend et se développe. Si vous pensez que vous n'êtes pas doué, mettez-vous au défi. N'abandonnez pas et continuez à essayer jusqu'à ce que vous y arriviez. 4. Œufs La patience est une vertu. Prends ton temps et souviens-toi que tu n'es pas obligé d'y arriver du premier coup. Ou même au deuxième essai ! Il n'y a pas de raccourci pour devenir un grand boulanger, et tous les maîtres boulangers ont été des débutants à un moment donné. C'est le temps et les efforts qu'ils ont déployés qui ont fait d'eux les experts qu'ils sont aujourd'hui. Ne soyez donc pas si dur avec vous-même. Continuez, car nous vous garantissons que cela en vaut la peine ! 5. Les matières grasses Il existe des tonnes d'ingrédients utilisés en pâtisserie, mais commençons par les plus basiques et pourquoi ils sont importants. - Les édulcorants
- Le sel
Viennent ensuite les ustensiles de cuisine. Oubliez d'abord le haut de gamme et optez pour l'essentiel. Vous n'avez pas besoin de vous ruiner, mais n'oubliez pas d'investir dans du matériel de qualité. 1. Les tasses à mesurer Achetez-les en deux versions : l'une pour mesurer les ingrédients secs et l'autre pour les ingrédients humides. Elles sont disponibles dans les tailles suivantes : 1 tasse, ½ tasse, 1/3 tasse et ¼ tasse. - Cuillères à mesurer
- Cuillère en bois
- Spatule en caoutchouc
- Spatule en métal
- Fouet
- Rouleau à pâtisserie
- Tamis
- Couteau de chef
- Assortiment de plaques et de casseroles
- Grille en fil de fer
- Four
La pâtisserie a beaucoup à voir avec la chimie. Lorsque vous combinez des ingrédients dans des quantités spécifiques, ils réagissent de manière à produire une caractéristique nécessaire au produit de boulangerie. Voici deux exemples : 1. Le brunissement des produits de boulangerie Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé ce qui provoquait le brunissement de la croûte du pain ou du fond de vos biscuits ? Voici pourquoi : le mélange de la farine et de l'eau pour faire la pâte forme le gluten, une protéine qui contient des acides aminés. La cuisson de la pâte à haute température permet aux acides aminés de se combiner aux sucres réduits. Cela entraîne le brunissement de vos produits de boulangerie. En termes scientifiques, il s'agit de la réaction de Maillard. 2. Qu'est-ce qui fait lever la pâte ? La pâtisserie fait également appel aux mathématiques. Il ne s'agit pas de longues divisions, mais la pâtisserie exige de la précision. Mesurer les ingrédients conformément à la recette est crucial pour le résultat. C'est pourquoi il existe toute une gamme d'outils et d'équipements de mesure utilisés en pâtisserie. Pensez aux cuillères, aux tasses, aux balances et aux thermomètres. En fait, mettre trop ou pas assez d'un ingrédient peut altérer le goût et la texture de ce que vous préparez. Et ce n'est pas une bonne chose. Le pourcentage du boulanger Cette formule est populaire parmi les boulangers professionnels qui ont besoin de formuler leurs recettes, qu'il s'agisse de pain, de beignets, de gâteaux, de biscuits, de brioches, et j'en passe ! C'est aussi une formule que les boulangers débutants devraient explorer, surtout s'ils décident d'en faire leur métier. L'avantage de cette méthode est qu'elle vous permet d'être plus flexible sans compromettre la consistance de vos produits de boulangerie. Même si vous changez la mesure d'un ingrédient, la formule vous permet de ne pas vous faire d'illusions sur les proportions d'ingrédients : Pourcentage d'ingrédients du boulanger = 100 % x Poids de l'ingrédient / Poids de la farine. Pour en savoir plus, lisez : «Apprendre la pâtisserie : Guide complet pour débuter la pâtisserie » Conversions des mesures de base Maintenant que nous avons abordé les notions de base, il est temps de passer aux fourneaux ! Comme promis, voici quelques recettes sucrées et salées simples à essayer. Vous pouvez même essayer de faire de la pâtisserie en famille pour une expérience d'apprentissage amusante. Vous adorerez ces petites galettes aux fraises et aux pommes, garnies de confiture de fraises et de tranches de pommes. Qui a besoin de nettoyer des bouts de papier multicolores quand on peut en avoir de comestibles sur un gâteau de fête à confettis ? Aucun petit être poilu n'a été blessé lors de la fabrication de ces biscuits déjeuner Chunky Monkey. Pensez à un mélange d'épices et de pépites de chocolat dans cette délicieuse recette de biscuits. Arf ! Ces gressins aux os de chien sont trop mignons pour être mangés. Enfin, pas tout à fait, car vous ne pourrez pas profiter de leur goût de fromage parmesan. Servez-les avec de la sauce marinara pour les tremper. Ces muffins mexicains pour le petit-déjeuner vous feront dire Ole ! toute la journée ! Croquez à pleines dents dans un muffin aux œufs fourré de bœuf et de salsa. submitted by Landry561 to u/Landry561 [link] [comments] |

2023.06.07 15:49 Ok-Temporary4466 Did they have Wendigo psychosis?
Some interesting reading from wiki-
Psychosis
In historical accounts of retroactively diagnosed Wendigo psychosis, it has been reported that humans became possessed by the wendigo spirit, after being in a situation of needing food and having no other choice besides cannibalism. In 1661,
The Jesuit Relations reported:
Ce qui nous mit plus en peine, fut la nouvelle que nous apprismes dés l'entrée du Lac, à sçauoir : que les deputez par nostre Conducteur, qui deuoient conuoquer les Nations à la Mer du Nord, et leur donner le rendez-vous pour nous y attendre, auoient esté tuez l'Hiuer passé, d'une façon estonnante. Ces pauures gens furent saisis, à ce qu'on nous a dit, d'vn mal qui nous est inconnu, mais qui n'est pas bien extraordinaire parmy les peuples que nous cherchons : ils ne sont ny lunatiques, ny hypocondriaques, ny phrenetiques; mais ils ont vn mélange de toutes ces sortes de maladies, qui, leur blessant l'imagination, leur cause vne faim plus que canine, et les rend si affamez de chair humaine, qu'ils se iettent sur les femmes, sur les enfans, mesme sur les hommes, comme de vrais loups-garous, et les deuorent à belles dents, sans se pouuoir rassasier ny saouler, cherchans tousiours nouuelle proye, et plus auidement que plus ils en ont mangé. C'est la maladie dont ces députez furent atteints; et comme la mort est l'vnique remede parmy ces bonnes gens, pour arrester ces meurtres, ils ont esté massacrez pour arrester le cours de leur manie.
[23] What caused us greater concern was the news that met us upon entering the Lake, namely, that the men deputed by our Conductor for the purpose of summoning the Nations to the North Sea, and assigning them a rendezvous, where they were to await our coming, had met their death the previous Winter in a very strange manner. Those poor men (according to the report given us) were seized with an ailment unknown to us, but not very unusual among the people we were seeking. They are afflicted with neither lunacy, hypochondria, nor frenzy; but have a combination of all these species of disease, which affects their imaginations and causes them a more than canine hunger. This makes them so ravenous for human flesh that they pounce upon women, children, and even upon men, like veritable werewolves, and devour them voraciously, without being able to appease or glut their appetite—ever seeking fresh prey, and the more greedily the more they eat. This ailment attacked our deputies; and, as death is the sole remedy among those simple people for checking such acts of murder, they were slain in order to stay the course of their madness.
[24] Although in many recorded cases of Wendigo psychosis the individual has been killed to prevent cannibalism from resulting, some Cree folklore recommends treatment by ingestion of fatty animal meats or drinking animal grease; those treated may sometimes vomit ice as part of the curing process.
[25] One of the more famous cases of Wendigo psychosis reported involved a
Plains Cree trapper from
Alberta, named Swift Runner.
[26][27] During the winter of 1878, Swift Runner and his family were starving, and his eldest son died. Twenty-five miles away from emergency food supplies at a
Hudson's Bay Company post, Swift Runner butchered and ate his wife and five remaining children.
[28] Given that he resorted to cannibalism so near to food supplies, and that he killed and consumed the remains of all those present, it was revealed that Swift Runner's was not a case of pure cannibalism as a last resort to avoid starvation, but rather of a man with Wendigo psychosis.
[28] He eventually confessed and was executed by authorities at
Fort Saskatchewan.
[29] Another well-known case involving Wendigo psychosis was that of
Jack Fiddler, an
Oji-Cree chief and
medicine man known for his powers at defeating wendigos. In some cases, this entailed killing people with Wendigo psychosis. As a result, in 1907, Fiddler and his brother Joseph were arrested by the Canadian authorities for homicide. Jack committed suicide, but Joseph was tried and sentenced to life in prison. He ultimately was granted a pardon but died three days later in jail before receiving the news of this pardon.
[30] Fascination with Wendigo psychosis among Western
ethnographers,
psychologists, and
anthropologists led to a hotly debated controversy in the 1980s over the
historicity of this phenomenon. Some researchers argued that, essentially, Wendigo psychosis was a fabrication, the result of naïve anthropologists taking stories related to them at face value without observation.
[31][32] Others have pointed to a number of credible eyewitness accounts, both by Algonquians and others, as evidence that Wendigo psychosis was a factual historical phenomenon.
[33] The frequency of Wendigo psychosis cases decreased sharply in the 20th century as
Boreal Algonquian people came into greater and greater contact with European ideologies and more sedentary, less rural, lifestyles.
[5] In his 2004 treatise
Revenge of the Windigo on disorders and treatments of the behavioral health industry in the United States and Canada
that are peculiar to indigenous people,
James B. Waldram wrote,
[34] ...no actual cases of windigo psychosis have ever been studied, and Lou Marano's scathing critique in 1985 should have killed off the cannibal monster within the psychiatric annals. The windigo, however, continues to seek revenge for this attempted scholarly execution by periodically duping unsuspecting passers-by, like psychiatrists, into believing that windigo psychosis not only exists but that a psychiatrist could conceivably encounter a patient suffering from this disorder in his or her practice today! Windigo psychosis may well be the most perfect example of the construction of an Aboriginal mental disorder by the scholarly professions, and its persistence dramatically underscores how constructions of the Aboriginal by these professions have, like Frankenstein's monster, taken on a life of their own.
The 10th revision of the
International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) classifies "Windigo" as a
culture-specific disorder, describing it as "Rare, historic accounts of cannibalistic obsession... Symptoms included depression, homicidal or suicidal thoughts, and a delusional, compulsive wish to eat human flesh... Some controversial new studies question the syndrome's legitimacy, claiming cases were actually a product of hostile accusations invented to justify the victim's ostracism or execution."
[35]
As a concept or metaphor
In addition to denoting a cannibalistic monster from certain traditional folklore, some Native Americans also understand the wendigo conceptually. As a concept, the wendigo can apply to any person, idea, or movement infected by a corrosive drive toward self-aggrandizing greed and excessive consumption, traits that sow disharmony and destruction if left unchecked.
Ojibwe scholar Brady DeSanti asserts that the wendigo "can be understood as a marker indicating... a person... imbalanced both internally and toward the larger community of human and spiritual beings around them."
[36] Out of equilibrium and estranged by their communities, individuals thought to be afflicted by the wendigo spirit unravel and destroy the ecological balance around them. Chippewa author
Louise Erdrich's novel
The Round House), winner of the
National Book Award, depicts a situation where an individual person becomes a wendigo. The novel describes its primary antagonist, a rapist whose violent crimes desecrate a sacred site, as a wendigo who must be killed because he threatens the reservation's safety.
In addition to characterizing individual people who exhibit destructive tendencies, the wendigo can also describe movements and events with similarly negative effects. According to Professor Chris Schedler, the figure of the wendigo represents "consuming forms of exclusion and assimilation" through which groups dominate other groups."
[37] This application allows Native Americans to describe colonialism and its agents as wendigos since the process of colonialism ejected natives from their land and threw the natural world out of balance. DeSanti points to the 1999 horror film
Ravenous) as an illustration of this argument equating "the cannibal monster" to "American colonialism and manifest destiny". This movie features a character who articulates that expansion brings displacement and destruction as side effects, explaining that "manifest destiny" and "western expansion" will bring "thousands of gold-hungry Americans... over the mountains in search of new lives... This country is seeking to be whole... Stretching out its arms... and consuming all it can. And we merely follow".
[38] As a concept, wendigo can apply to situations other than some Native American-European relations. It can serve as a metaphor explaining any pattern of domination by which groups subjugate and dominate or violently destroy and displace. Joe Lockhard, English professor at Arizona State University, argues that wendigos are agents of "social cannibalism" who know "no provincial or national borders; all human cultures have been visited by shape-shifting wendigos. Their visitations speak to the inseparability of human experience... National identity is irrelevant to this borderless horror."
[39] Lockhard's ideas explain that wendigos are an expression of a dark aspect of human nature: the drive toward greed, consumption, and disregard for other life in the pursuit of self-aggrandizement.
Romantic scholar and documentarian
Emily Zarka, also a professor at Arizona State University, observes that two commonalities among the indigenous cultures of
Algonquian language family speakers are that they are situated in climes where harsh winters are frequent and may be accompanied by starvation. She states that the wendigo symbolically represents three major concepts: it is the incarnation of winter, the embodiment of hunger, and the personification of selfishness.

It asked me where I wanted to go. I put in "Mons, Belgium", because, why not?
It asked for travel dates. I said July 12 to July 27 of this year. Nice 2-week vacation.
It said "Choose your budget." Options were: low, medium, high, and luxury. I chose "low". Though I'll bet Mons, Belgium is a place where you could do "luxury".
It said "Choose your vacation type." Options were "Relaxed" and "Packed". I picked "Packed". (Can you actually picture me relaxing?)
It said "Choose your category." Options were "Romantic", "Adventure", "Touristic", "Party", "Family", "Cultural", "Mixed". I picked "Adventure", though I was tempted by "Party".
It said, "Choose your dietary preference." Options were "Vegan", "Vegetarian", "Pescatarian", "Halal", and "No preference". I picked "No preference". Vacation isn't the time to be picky, right?
Never heard of the word "pescatarian" before but the "fish" icon makes me think it means fish.
Anyway, I clicked "Submit".

Weirdly, it cut off that last entry. I assume back to the airport for the flight back.
Also weirdly, it thinks I want to eat at Le Pain Quotidien every day. Which actually means "The Daily Bread" in French. The bread must be just ridiculously awesome?
It does look like the trip ought to be rather low cost, with lots of walking and biking and the occasional train. Some of the attractions look like they're low-cost, like biking in nature, visiting churches and parks and gardens. Some might be expensive like art galleries. Most of the cost, though, probably just goes to getting a hotel that is so close to the center of the city. I suppose it's worth it to get so much within walking distance.
No idea how this system works. I'm guessing it's using a generative AI model, but what it generates is based on a database of destinations and attractions and is shoe-horned into the format of a trip plan. Wonder if they trained a model from scratch or fine-tuned a model from somewhere else.

2023.06.05 11:47 NYCIndieConcerts Mod's List - This Week in Live Rock / Indie / Alternative / Punk Shows (June 5 - 11)
Festival season is in full swing with Governors Ball taking over Flushing Meadows-Corona Park this upcoming weekend. It certainly would've been cool if Governors Ball could've booked some punk acts to join the handful of rock bands on the bill. Black Midi and Flipped will both be doing late night sets in Manhattan. John Mellencamp is posting up a residency at the Beacon in tandem with the Tribeca Festival. The UK's Church Village Collective make their NYC and more below.
If you're new to this sub or just passing through, each week I try to highlight the "best" upcoming rock, punk, indie and alternative shows. I scour the web and social media for concert announcement, booking, rescheduling, etc., and then pick which shows are vying for my time and money (or which would've been if they weren't sold out). This is not intended to be an exhaustive list as there are other non-reddit resources that cast a wider net on live shows, including pop, hip hop and comedy shows, but feel free to add any missing shows using the comments (especially for other genres).
As usual, listed times are approximate start times (not door); prices are estimates for door tickets, and do not include online fees and taxes.

2023.06.04 20:21 Reppyk [Histoire] 1951 : Chaos et Gang-bang en Indochine.
Introduction des introductions
Bonjour Reddit !
SowetoNecklace vient de me relancer pour que je sorte de cette létargie estivale. Vous pouvez relire son histoire de l'Afghanistan ici :
https://www.reddit.com/france/comments/yyf3mh/40_ans_de_guerre_en_afghanistan_24_la_guerre/ Avertissement : je ne suis pas historien. Je ne suis qu'un amateur qui arrive un demi-siècle plus tard. Surtout que, attention le
twist, on ne sait toujours pas ce qu'il s'est passé. Ah, et j'assume entièrement le titre. Pouêt-pouêt, bonjour chez vous.
Je viens ici larguer un pavé moche et débile sur la seconde plus grosse défaite militaire française depuis la 2nd guerre mondiale. Dien Bien Phu est plus connue, politique, décisive et un peu plus importante en terme de pertes, mais de pas beaucoup. J'ignore qu'elle est la 3ème, mais ça doit être bien plus anecdotique. Au menu ce soir : de la jungle, de la sueur, du sang et... Pas d'Arnold.
Pourquoi ce sujet ? Un de mes grand-pères a participé à la campagne d'Indochine. Il est arrivé en 1951, soit en même temps que le désastre décrit ci-bas ; il n'y a pas participé directement, (et oui, il a survécu). N'aimant pas trop parler de cette guerre (et encore moins celle d'Algérie), il a quand même consigné dans un livre quelques commentaires. Je dois être le seul de la fratrie à l'avoir lu ; à son décès, j'ai récupéré ce livre, et j'ai commencé à me renseigner sur une bataille particulière. Il se trouve qu'il y a d'amusants avis divergents, et j'ai essayé d'en savoir plus. Attention, ce flim n'est pas un flim sur le Sirkisme.
Troisième introduction : le contexte
Promis, après, j'arrête. Je pose la base. On commence par l'époque de la colonisation ; la France s'est déjà emparée d'une grande partie de l'Afrique du Nord, mais en plus, elle constitue ce qu'on appellera l'Indochine (grosso-modo, le Vietnam actuel, le Cambodge et le Laos). C'est grand, très grand, avec des tonnes de groupes ethniques différents.
Contrairement à l'Algérie (qui est davantage une extension de la métropole, avec des citoyens de seconde classe), l'Indochine n'a pas le même status et c'est surtout une exploitation coloniale économique. Ce n'est pas populaire dans la campagne (qui a dit "
esclavage" dans le fond ?), mais les grandes villes des côtes profitent de l'occidentalisation : éduction, santé. Les japonais, lors de la 2nd guerre mondiale, profitent de l'effondrement français pour commencer à tout recoloniser eux-mêmes. Les quelques troupes françaises sur place ne font pas le poids, voir y perdent la tête (littéralement). Là où la France ne s'ingérait pas trop localement, l'occupation japonaise (pour l'effort de guerre, surtout pour le latex) est plus violente, et une petite résistance paysanne commence à apparaitre (avec un certain Hô Chi Minh, oh oh oh !). Mais
pif-paf-boum, les japonais se font douiller par les américains, et abandonnent l'Indochine. Mais avec une petite vengeance ! Sur les derniers jours, surprise, ils déclarent l'indépendance de l'Indochine. Bonne chance pour les suivants !
Avant même la capitulation,
François rend l'argent les Français veulent récupérer l'Indochine. Mais le mythe du pays moderne, avec son armée invincible, est contesté. Surtout que la guerre froide a commencé, et que l'avis officiel des américains est d'abolir toute colonisation -
coucou les Anglais - (avec un soutien de la CIA, oui oui, comme l'Afghanistan ! Mais la doctrine fait très vite un 180°). Bref, ça va castagner.
Il y a longtemps, dans une lointaine colonie...
Chapitre 1 : Du rififi au Tonkin.
La grande partie de l'Indochine est calme (il y a plusieurs royaumes monarchiques stables), mais un petit
village secteur résiste : le Tonkin. C'est la partie la plus au Nord du Vietnam : des rizières, des vallées, et donc, je l'ai dit, un début d'insurrection.
La France y envoie des gendarmes, mais ça ne suffit pas, alors ce sont les troupes coloniales qui y vont (càd les marocains) et la Légion Étrangère (composée de beaucoup de... d'anciens de la Wehrmacht, qui se sont mis littéralement au vert). Le début de la "guerre" d'Indochine n'en est pas une, c'est plus une opération de police, et hors de question que des
gaulois-hon-hon y aillent (et y meurent). Le matériel est surtout américain, l'armée Française n'a pas beaucoup de moyen et va récupérer tous les stocks du conflit précédent. Disons-le clairement, malgré le terrain hostile et les énormes étendues, les 3 paysans et demi du Tonkin n'ont aucune chance.
La situation change en 2 coups en 1949 : déjà, un léger bombardement naval (oups) fait des milliers de pertes chez les civils (oh la boulette Gérard), et la Chine vient de passer communiste, ce qui signifie que tout son matériel soviétique peut passer au Việt Minh. Ce ne sont plus des troubles, mais bien une guerre civile qui commence.
Chapitre 2 : S'il peut saigner, on peut le tuer
Il ne faut pas perdre le contrôle de la frontière, sinon c'est l'invasion des chinoiseries. L'armée Française crée alors une série de bastions. Il y a de l'artillerie, et ceux des côtes ont même de l'aviation (et oui, c'est le début du napalm, ce n'est pas que pour faire du surf à l'américaine). Mais il faut ravitailler tout ça, à travers la jungle, sur des pistes qui ne sont que de la terre trempée. La
route coloniale 4 devient alors du tir-sur-pigeons : des mines, des sabotages, et parfois des embuscades. Plus on est loin sur la RC4, moins on a de chance d'y survivre. Et quand c'est le 2nd convoi qui disparait entièrement (soit ~100x2 disparus, et le matériel lourd !), ça commence à grincer des dents en métropole. Justement, parlons-en.
Chapitre 3 : Et pendant ce temps, à Vera Cruz...
Parce qu'à Paris, on est loin des canons, mais 2 problèmes politiques vont contribuer grandement au renversement de la 4ème République. Le premier, je ne vais pas en parler en détail, mais c'est l'
affaire des piastres. Pour faire simple, le taux de change de la piastre est officiellement manipulé, ce qui permet que le conflit ne coûte pas trop cher. Presque tout le monde se satisfait du petit accord ; jusqu'au jour où il est révélé que... le Việt Minh aussi en profite, et se finance grâce à ça. Et là, ça ne passe plus.
L'autre scandale, ce sont
les plans militaires de l'abandon des forts de la RC4 qui se retrouvent dans les journées français
encore un coup des socialo-gauchistes !. Ce qui rend l'évacuation prévue bien trop risquée. Les plans sont remisés, et ça continue de creuver sur la RC4...
Chapitre 4 : Leeeeeeeeeeroy Jenkiiiins !
On arrive (enfin !) à la fin 1951. Et pif, l'ordre tombe, il faut évacuer. Et attention hein ! Avec
sérieux et
intelligence hein ! Non je déconne. L'exécution en revient au
Colonel Constans, le planqué à
Lang Son. Il n'écoute pas les avis, ne fait pas de reconnaissance, et préfère le faste d'un quasi-gouverneur colonial. Et surtout, c'est le pire plan qui est choisit : le plus simple, le plus dangeureux, et vous le connaissez déjà, car oui, c'est celui qui a été publié !
Bon là, désolé mais il faut une
carte pour suivre un peu. Le but est d'évacuer en partant du Nord ; mais la garnison locale (
Colonel Charton) est surtout composée d'artillerie, ils n'ont aucune chance de passer. Donc, une seconde colonne (non non ça sent pas le plan foireux) va monter depuis le sud, afin de faire jonction (
Colonel Le Page).
https://imgur.com/a/8ZTYOaI Donc, le but : ils doivent se rejoindre à
Nam Nang, et ils repartent ensemble au sud, en abandonnant les petits postes au passage. Les génies militaires tentent quand même une pirouette : comme l'idée du plan est complètement conne
ah bah oui hein, ils font diversion : au même moment, l'essentiel des forces militaires en Indochine font une grande opération, et hop ! Diversion ! Et surtout politique : ça évitera qu'on parle trop de cette retraite en fufu-ninja. Bon, le plan master-class a donc un autre défaut : il n'y a pas de renforts prévus. Mais tout va bien se passer !
Chapitre 5 : Y a un couac à Dong Khoin-khoin.
Alors que les 2 colonnes préparent le départ, c'est le Việt Minh qui prend une initiative. Vous voyez le gros point noir,
Dong Khé, sur la carte ? Pif-paf-pouf entre les 2 colonnes ? C'est une ancienne forteresse locale, et il se trouve que la garnison vient de se faire massacrer.
Ni une ni deux, on conserve le plan foireux, et dans la journée, on y parachute des troupes de choc. Et... C'est un succès ! Dong Khé est reprise dans la journée, personne se pose de question sur le timing,
en route Martine on continue.
Chapitre 6 : Les Canons de Navarone
Cata-ploc,
cata-ploc, les 2 colonnes se sont élancées, noix de coco d'hirondelles aux oreilles. Et les 2 rencontrent des problèmes...
La colonne Charton (celle qui fuit vers le sud) devait se barrer VITE et BIEN ; mais bon, ils partent quand même avec 2 canons, et la moitié de la population civile (car oui, l'épuration ethnique et politique n'allait pas bien se passer
ah les cocos ! ). Ca progresse lentement, surtout quand ils découvrent que depuis le dernier convoi de la RC4, ça a été re-miné et les pistes détruites. Mais ils ont de la chance, car plus au sud...
La nouvelle tombe. Comme la forteresse de
Dong Khé, d'ailleurs. Encore occupée par des parachutistes, quelques tirailleurs en renfort, et leur arsenal léger, le Việt Minh a ré-attaqué. Et avec du matériel lourd cette fois : les communistes ont amené des pièces d'artillerie à travers la jungle - coucou Dien Bien Phu ! -.
Bref, nos 2 colonels ont l'air bien bêtes : ce n'est plus une jonction pépouze-izi qu'il faut faire, mais une percée, ou bien un siège. La colonne Le Page (enfin, le
groupement Bayard, mais si on commence avec les noms je vais vous perdre) arrive sur Dong Khé, teste ses défenses, et se prend quelques obus sur la tronche (signe que c'est désormais une bataille rangée), et surtout une véritable armée tonkinoise pas contente. À 1 contre 10, ça ne va pas être possible, surtout que... Ce n'est que l'aller. Il faudra revenir après ! Les pertes commencent, mais le fun ne fait que commencer.
Pendant ce temps, le colonel Constans continue de siroter un mojito en donnant des ordres idiots (et on est en 1951 en fond de vallée hein, ça veut donc dire : un avion avec radio qui survole une colonne, et qui parfois, ne peut qu'écrire un mot sur du papier pour le larguer...). Les archives militaires ne sont pas toutes disponibles, mais
spoiler alert : les 3 colonels ont survécu, ont écrit leurs mémoires, et le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est que ça gueulait dans les décisions.
C'est dans ces conditions
idéales que le Grand Scrum Master décide d'être agile -
coucou populace de /France ! - et, après 2 ans de patouilles d'un plan merdique, change (enfin !) le tracé. Ah, ah ! Accrochez-vous bien les paysans, on va vous surprendre cette fois !
Reprenez la carte. Vous voyez la petite ligne en pointillés rouges, qui évite Dong Khé par le sud ? Bingo. C'est l'heure du passage secret ! Tellement secret que personne le connait : ni les militaires, ni les locaux (oui, rappelez-vous qu'il y a un bon millier de femmes et d'enfants dans ce radeau). Et ni le pays lui-même ; c'est en fait un tout petit cours d'eau, présent sur UNE vieille carte de l'état major. Nouvelle objectif : se retrouver sur une colline, proche de
CoC Xa.
Et c'est l'heure du coupe-coupe à travers la jungle. Alors qu'au Nord, la colonne Charton avance à vitesse d'un escargot mourrant, mais sans ennuis particuliers, ce n'est pas du tout le cas de la colonne Le Page, poursuivie par une horde furieuse, et qui est fortement ralentie par ses blessés (à transporter à la force du poignet, ce qui n'est pas génial, ni même tip-top).
Chapitre 8 : Comme au cirque
Non, je ne parle pas du sérieux de cette
opération militaire spéciale mais bien du cirque de Coc Xa. Imaginez un amphithéâtre ; au centre, un point d'eau (indispensable, car la bataille fait déjà rage depuis 3 jours - les troupes sont à bout -), entouré d'une ceinture de roches. Il n'y a qu'une seule sortie, mais elle ne fait que quelques mètres. Et le Việt Minh est déjà là. Il n'y a pas le choix, il faut donner l'assaut, car le gros de l'armée Tonkinoise est sur les talons ; et les pertes sont massives. La 1ère vague française est entièrement perdue, mais les survivants arrivent à dépasser Coc Xa, en abandonnent tous leurs blessés.
Dernier obstacle avant la jonction : la colonne Le Page (enfin, ce qu'il en reste) doit descendre, de nuit et épuisés, une falaise à pic (et en se faisant tirer dessus, tant qu'à faire, on n'est plus à ça près). Tous les saltimbanques ne survivront pas à l'épreuve.
Chapitre 9 : Et maintenant ?
Les 2 colonnes sont enfin réunies. Mais la situation est inversée ; normalement c'est la colonne Le Page qui devait secourir la colonne Charton, et vu les pertes, la colonne Le Page fait peine à voir. Surtout, ils sont toujours au milieu de la jungle, et le gogol à Lang Son continue de leur dire "qu'il faut attaquer, non mais oh, allez du nerf !".
Sans l'écouter, ils décident la
dispersion, : il n'y a plus d'unité, c'est chacun pour sa peau. Les petits groupes tentent de s'infiltrer vers le sud, sans ressources, des centaines de kilomètres à pied, après une semaine de combats ininterrompus. Beaucoup seront capturés, dont... Les colonels Le Page et Charton, comme des Pokémons chromatiques.
Le carnage se s'arrête pas là : un pont important est saboté (avec une évacuation à La Rache (c) sur de petits canots en nombres insuffisants), et devant le fiasco, le commandement décide d'envoyer des renforts au compte-gouttes. Il y a très peu d'informations sur ces troupes-là, car ils vont être largués en pleine zone hostile, et il n'y aura presque aucun survivant.
Chapitre 10 : Le Grand final
Vous pensiez le désastre fini ? Presque. Aux
~5000 pertes de l'armée Française (oui, ça va gueuler à Paris), il y a quand même un avantage : le Việt Minh ne s'attendait pas à une telle opération militaire. Ses troupes sont fatiguées, dispersées, il y a plusieurs milliers de prisonniers à ramener au Nord (et oui, Charton se retrouve emprisonné quelques années à côté de Cao Bang, quelle ironie), bref, il n'est pas question de pousser l'avantage. Le Colonel Constans, par contre, n'est pas de son avis : alors que Lang Son est beaucoup plus protégée que n'importe quel fort de la RC4, il annonce immédiatement l'abandon de la ville. Lang Son sera prise sans combat, et avec tout son matériel...
En gros, le petit résumé : en 1952 et 1953, changement complet de doctrine, et ce sont les Français qui remportent batailles sur batailles (mais on parle bien désormais de conflit militaire entre 2 armées). Jusqu'en 1954, alors que la France s'est finalement décidée à abandonner ses colonies asiatiques, la chute de Dien Bien Phu sonne la fin immédiate de la guerre d'Indochine (pour la petite histoire, les américains ont proposé d'y aller à la bombe atomique, ce qui fait un peu tâche pour une
guerre civile).
L'Indochine se disloque, et le Tonkin est désormais la moitié Nord du pays. Ce sont les américains qui deviennent alors la grande puissance locale : ils contrôlent directement le Vietnam-Sud, le Nord restant communiste. Après moins de 10 ans d'une paix relative, ce sont encore les américains qui bloquent la ré-unification complète du pays, prévue pourtant par les accords de paix : on ne parle plus de Viet Minh mais désormais de Viet Cong, et la guerre du Vietnam a commencé.
Chapitre 12 : Les questions en suspens.
J'ai essayé d'obtenir tous les livres relatifs à ce conflit (qui n'a pas de nom : c'est l'opération Thérèse, mais la bataille de Cao Bang, celle de Dong Khé, celle de la RC4, bref, en 2 semaines ça a castagné sur des centaines de kilomètres). La question des responsabilités reste ouverte, et ça ne devrait pas changer, puisque les antagonistes sont désormais décédés. En tout cas, aujourd'hui :
1) On ignore toujours ce qu'a foutu Charton avec ses 2 canons, ses civils et ses camions. Il avait des ordres explicites dessus, ne les a pas respectés, et... On ne sait pas si ça a changé quelque chose dans l'histoire.
2) Il est suspecté que l'histoire du rapport Revers (vous savez, le plan rendu publique) est lié à une lutte interne entre hommes politiques français.
3) Les ordres reçus et transmis entre les 3 colonels ne concordent pas. Y en a au moins un qui ment !
4) Les différents généraux ne se sont jamais exprimés sur ce boxon. Il y a bien un rapport, mais il a disparu. Et non, tout ne peut pas être de la faute des colonels...
5) Le Colonel Constans est le seul à ne pas avoir écrit ses mémoires. Comprenez-le aussi, il s'est fait placardisé avec une rare violence. Mais son fils, si ! Un livre de près de 300 page, que je pourrais résumer en "Papa a tout bien fait, ce sont les autres qui sont nuls".
6) Ce dernier livre a été publié en très peu d'exemplaires (j'ai galéré). Mais il n'est pas passé inaperçu ! Car un certain Louis Stein n'a pas du tout apprécié, et a tenu à le faire savoir. Et ce monsieur Stein, c'était le monsieur "renseignements militaires" au Tonkin, qui avait vu de ses propres yeux la préparation des forces Việt Minh, et qui a participé à l'opération Thérèse (et il a aussi écrit ses mémoires, c'est Hollywoodesque ). Il y a des échanges assez piquants entre lui et un "anonyme près à tout pour défendre le colonel Constans" (hmm... Je me demande bien de qui il s'agit !)
7) 70 ans plus tard, la guerre continue
War, war never changes. Sur la Wikipédia, vous pouvez observer qu'il y a d'amusantes modifications sur cette page :
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataille_de_la_RC_4 Je vous conseille le
diff du 27 août 2019, mais il y en a d'autres !
8) Il y a aussi beaucoup de questions ouvertes sur l'abandon de Lang Son, et les stocks militaires associés.
Remarques diverses et variées.
Remerciement à Momox, certains livres sont bien rares.
Rendez-vous avec Monsieur X a plusieurs épisodes (surtout sur les scandales de la 4ème République, les barbouzes de la CIA, et tout ce qui concerne les affaires d'Opium/piraterie ; mais ce n'est pas une émission sur les opérations militaires).
Erwan Bergot a écrit plusieurs livres, dont : "Indochine 1951" (qui est celui qui a tout déclenché). C'est un style officiel militaire, assez curieux à découvrir, avec son propre jargon glorieux.

TWBS Previous Next First -
---Esme’s perspective---
---Saturday, 11th of November, 2682 Terran Calendar---
---Southern England---
Fucking
Sussex!
‘Can you send me to the Forth Valley?’
‘Oh, we can
try… On an unrelated note, how’s your standard English? No problems in communicating?’
I should’ve just said ‘No, I have
great difficulty in communicating in anything but Lallans Scots!’ instead of putting on my poshest English speech register to say ‘Marjorie dearest,
would you be a lamb and pass another buttered scone…
hold the raspberry jam, it’s
far too
spicy for me!’ which she told me she’d take as a ‘Yes.’
“
This is an English language barracks.
If you have been directed here in error,
please make yourself known to barracks staff for reassignment.” plays a loud, prerecorded Welsh language announcement, over speakers.
They’re fucking rubbing it
in!
“
This is an English language barracks.
If you have been directed here in error,
please make yourself known to barracks staff for reassignment.” it repeats in Scots Gaelic.
“
Ceci est une caserne Anglophone.
Si vous avez été assigné ici par erreur,
veuillez vous faire connaître auprès du personnel de la caserne pour une réaffectation.” it says in what I’m 90% sure is a French version of the same announcement (I can’t be
certain, though, as that’s not one of my languages).
Looking at the crowds queuing to get in makes me regret asserting that I didn’t need transport here.
‘You shouldn’t be sending someone to
War that you don’t trust to navigate themself from Galloway to Sussex!’ were my exact words.
I brushed off the recruitment officer saying that I’d be processed faster if I arrived on Military organised transport.
Well, standing
here’s not gonna get me to the front of the queue now, is it!
I walk forward to join the massive throng of people, almost all of which look to be about my age.
It’s
astonishing how
short you feel, being an average height girl in a crowd of people!
178cm really isn’t all that much when you’ve got a not
insignificant number of +2m guys here!
Even guys who are the average 188cm can make a girl feel short when their packed too close…
I see a
few Neanderthal hunks… perhaps conscription won’t be
all bad(!)
When I make it to the front of the line, the guy just stares expectantly at me like I’m supposed to
already know what to do.
“Y’awright?… Err… mah nam’s Esme Reid…?” I say, hesitantly, in
perfectly comprehensible speech.
“I’m sorry, would you repeat that?” he answers, looking at me like I just spoke to him in fucking Chinese!
“
Greetings, gracious sir! You may kindly refer to me by the name ‘
Esme Reid’!” I say, affecting my supercilious Southern English gentlewoman accent.
“Alright, Ms Reid. Please present your draft papers and identification.”
The
balls they have to ask
me to prove who
I am when
they’
re the ones asking
me to go off and fucking
die for them!
I think about quipping that I should ask him to show me some proof that this is a legitimate Military installation sanctioned by the government of Sol… but think
better of it…
Instead, I pull out my draft papers and my holopad, quickly getting up my identification app.
The man scans the code with his own holo and spends a few seconds glancing from his screen to my face and back.
Seeming satisfied that I’m not attempting to enlist under a false identity (for whatever strange reason a person might want to do
that) he glances at my papers, says “Everything seems to be in order.” and waves a hand in front of a machine which whirs for half a second before spitting out a simple chain necklace with two little metal rectangles hanging off of it.
He hands it to me and says “This is your identification tag. Please check that the information on it is correct and, if it is, put it on and never take it off.”
I check the tag.
“You’ve got my name and birthday right…” I say, making a conscious effort to keep my speech register in that that a standard English speaker would consider acceptable “…don’t know about the regiment and serial number.”
“Those will be correct.” he says with a ‘move along’ tone.
I shrug, raise the dogtag over my head and drop it around my neck.
I walk on and he’s serving the girl behind me before I’ve even rounded the counter.
I’m ushered through the barracks, herded by the staff, until I reach a building labelled ‘Billet House 279’.
It doesn’t really look like I expected soldiers’ digs to look.
Definitely
prefabbed but sort of has more the look of a uni hall than anything else… though I think it’s probably a bit
much to expect that I’ll get a room to myself(!)
I follow the throng of draftees through to a wide open room, on the ground floor, that looks like it’s normally a cafeteria.
The camp attendants (who I’m guessing were in the same boat as us, not
too long ago) direct us to stand along the left, right and nearside walls, keeping the back wall and centre of the room clear.
Everyone in place, there follows a few minutes of silence broken only by people whispering to one another.
Then,
she enters the room.
Dark skinned and clad in green camo clothing, her scalp is easily visible between her cornrows with nary a
hair out of place.
Her expression looks absolutely indifferent with just the slightest hint of a curled lip.
From the broadness and flatness of her facial features as well as her single mauve eye, she is clearly half Tshwane… though, you’d
never guess that from her
stature!
Female Tshwane average nearly 2m… the
men are more like 2.2m!
She’
s shorter than
me!
She’s also built like a Sapiens, not the willowy thinness typical of Tshwane
I guess genetics interact in funny ways sometimes…
Based on her age, her Tshwane parent would probably have to have been one of the very
first to be cloned back!
The other eye seems to have been ripped out at some point because in its place is a bionic and there’s a patch of hypopigmented scar tissue, forming a tear shape, at the right corner.
“Recruits… Welcome to the United Terran Coalition Infantry Trainin’ Camp, Graffham… My name is Warrant Officer Simone Sands… and I’ll be your drill instructor…” says the woman, cooly, speaking in a rough sounding, London accent.
The surname ‘Sands’
probably means her dad was the Tshwane (though not
necessarily… she might have been given her mum’s surname… or it
might be a coincidental English surname).
“…You
all know why you’re here… Most of you’ve prob’ly already lost loved ones to this War… You are here to defend our right to
exist… and I can’t think of a more worthy reason to fight than that…”
I’ve decided I like this woman… She
may be English but I’ll try not to hold
that against her(!)
“The first thing I need to tell all of you is that, by the end of your trainin’, you
will NOT like me…” she says, as if reading my mind “…that’s OK. My job ain’t to be liked, my job ain’t to make friends… my job is to make
soldiers!”
She casts her biological and bionic eyes around the room, letting her words hang in the air.
“
Note… that I said ‘
soldiers’… This ain’t Full Metal Jacket. This
ain’
t the 20th Century. There’ll
be no Pvt
Piles here!… I
ain’
t aimin’ to
destroy your minds or your individuality. I
ain’
t goin’ to physic’ly and psychologic’ly abuse you into becomin’ robots
or killers… I am makin’ you into
soldiers… Regardless… this process will
not be easy! In fact, it may
well be the hardest thing you ever
do!… As the face of this process, you
will come to hate and resent me for it!… I
hope for it! The more you hate me the more-
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHIN’
TO SAY,
PRIVATE?!”
Everyone in the room is startled by the authoritative woman breaking herself off to shout angrily at someone on the other side of the room.
“
STEP FORWARD AND SPEAK SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR YOU!”
The boy that steps forward is tall, bulky and muscular with a
handsome, half Neanderthal face…
just my type!
Then he has to go and
ruin it by opening his mouth.
“I was just saying… that I find it somewhat difficult to take you seriously as a commanding officer… You just seem a little bit…
little.” says the boy in the poshest,
smarmiest English drawl I’ve
ever heard!
The woman does not shout, she does not scream, she doesn’t snarl or even purse her lips!
She just nods, as if considering his words, then asks “What’s your
name, Soldier?”
“Rupert Forest.” responds the boy, proudly.
“And, how tall are you, Pvt Forest?” responds the woman, unimpressed
“195cm.” he answers.
“And, what’s your
mass?” she asks.
“110kg.”
“I see, I see… So, by
your logic… you’d make a better drill sergeant than me, would you? You’re 25cm taller and 35kg heavier, afterall!”
He smirks “I wouldn’t presume to say so, Ma’am…” in a way that definitely suggests that he thinks he
would.
She seems to consider that for some moments before answering “Alright then,
fight me for it!”
“I’m sorry…?” responds the poshboy.
“You heard me…
Clearly, you got
no respect for skill and experience but it seems like you must respect
power… so
fight me for it! You win,
you get to train this lot,
I win, you
never question my authority again!”
Is this woman
mad!?
She
may be a soldier but this boy she just challenged is a half Neanderthal
giant!
She’s gonna
lose!
I do
not want to be drilled by some snotty, privileged English
brat who got here at the same time as I did and just couldn’t keep his fucking mouth shut!
Then again, I don’t really want to be drilled by a woman so delusional that she felt the best way to squash insubordination was to challenge a man she has no
hope of beating, either!
The guy is clearly
salivating over the power that’s just been slapped on the table in front of him as he answers “I accept your
terms, Ms Sands…” with faux magnanimity.
There’s no way they’d let a Private run drills, is there? When he wins, someone just needs to go and complain and they’ll give us another (less
stupid) drill sergeant…
right?
He strips off his jacket to reveal a pair of thick, muscular arms that (in spite of his repulsive personality) are a
thrilling sight.
He has to go and ruin it by flexing and posing, clearly
revelling in the room’s worth of gasps he got when he revealed his arms… He obviously likes being the centre of attention.
“Done?” asks Sands, drily.
“If you still want to
do this…” he says, smugly “…you
could just concede defeat and I’m
sure no one would hold it against you!”
Her lip curls as she answers “But… if I did that, no one would
learn nothin’, now
would they…”
He shrugs before launching himself at her without waiting for her to give the word to begin.
She whirls out of the way and he snatches at her, unsuccessfully, as his momentum carries him past.
“
Lesson 1:…” she shouts while snapping into the space behind him and kicking out his knee “…
size does not determine victory,
strength does not determine victory…” levelling another powerful kick between his shoulderblades to bring him to the ground.
She backs off, allowing him to scramble to his feet and turn to face her, hunched in readiness and scowling.
“…
Pvt Forest here looked at me with contempt on account of my small size and,
though he didn’
t say so,
I’
d guess that my rough accent,
my lack of a graduate epithet and my lack of a penis also played a roll in his judgin’
me as less than!…
He thought he could beat me,
he probably still DOES,
and, ’
causa that,
he didn’
t respect my ability to lead…!”
Forest makes another lunge for the smaller woman, misses and is punished for it by being knocked back to the floor.
I’m agog as I watch this little woman… there’s no other word but
toy with the
giant man!
“…
but victory does not care how big you are,
how strong you are,
how classy or educated you are or what**’**
s in your pants or panties…!”
She dodges around his arm and pins his chest to the floor with her knee.
“
Discipline and trainin’
determine victory!…
Things that I have and Pvt Forest LACKS!…
Things that ALL of you will acquire,
over the next 8 months!!!” she turns her head down to the mountain of man she’s pinning to the floor “
Concede,
Private!”
The man shakes his head, trying in vain to leverage himself up.
“Alright then…
Lesson 2:
When faced with a resistant individual,
compliance can be effectively enforced by the expedient of lockin’
their joints to induce PAIN!!!”
She grabs his thick arms by the wrists and pulls them backwards in a way they are
not meant to bend!
He
screams in agony!
“
CONCEDE!!!…
Don’
t make me send you to the Medical Officer!
It’
d be inconvenient for BOTH of us if your pride makes you miss your first week of trainin’
while your arms heal!!!”
He holds out for two more seconds before screaming “
I concede!
I CONCEDE!!!”
She releases him and stands back up.
“
On your feet, Soldier…” she growls down at him.
He stands back up, his face
beet red.
“Are you
ever goin’ to question my fitness to instruct again, Private?” she glares up at the humiliated giant.
“No.” he answers, gracelessly.
“
No…?” she says as if waiting for something else.
Forest looks as confused as I am about what she’s expecting.
“No,
Ma’
am!” she snarls.
“No, Ma’am.”
“Good, we’ll
work on your attitude, movin’ forward. Now,
get back in line!”
The humiliated man picks up his civvy jacket and returns to the place he was called out from.
“Now, I don’t think I need to prattle on anymore about how you’re gonna hate me by the end of our time together, do I?… I think Pvt Forest helped me prove that point quite
well, so I’ll move on… You will sleep in
this buildin’, six to a room. Your rooms will be gender segregated. If you wish for a place to be…
intimate with people of the opposite gender, you may request use of one of the conjugal rooms… I
suggest you do the same if you want to be intimate with a
same gender partner but
that’
s between you and your
roommates! You will eat in this room at 0700hrs, 1200hrs and 1800hrs. Diet’ry requirements will be accommodated but, bare in mind, this ain’t your mummies’ and daddies’
kitchen! ‘This food is forbidden by my religion/personal ethics’ is a diet’ry requirement. ‘I am allergic to this food’ is a diet’ry requirement! ‘I don’t
like how
this food tastes’ is
not(!)… In the mornin’s, you will be receivin’ lessons in lecture theatres, workshops and the like…”
“
Oh great…
just what I wanted
after leaving school(!)
More classrooms(!)” I mutter to myself.
Her head instantly wheels to me with unnerving precision.
“
Someone else with somethin’
they’
d like to say!?” she says, locking eyes with me, terrifyingly.
“
No, Ms Sands!” I answer, instantly.
“
Miss?!
I’
m not your bloody schoolteacher girl!!!”
Everyone laughs. Even Pvt Forest, like he wasn’t just humiliated
himself, 2 minutes ago!
“Ma’am… err…
Ma’
am,
no,
Ma’
am!!!” I say, doing my best to emulate the tone I’ve seen soldiers use in films.
She rolls her eye (it’s difficult to tell if the bionic rolls too) and says “
Better… What’s your
name, Private?”
“
Ma’
am,
the Private’
s name is Esme Reid,
Ma’
am!!!”
“Do you remember me tellin’ you this
ain’
t Full Metal Jacket?… You don’t need to
scream when you talk to me, you
don’
t need to refer to yourself in third person and
one ‘Ma’am’, when you’re done speakin’, is
enough, Reid!”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
She points to her single, mauve eye, then to me and says “I’ll have my
eye on you, Reid!”
Somehow, her tone sends a chill up my spine but I do my best not to show it.
She turns away and I release a silent sigh of relief.
“As I was sayin’… In your lectures you will learn the ins and outs of military theory; tactics, strategies, logistics etc. You will learn as much as we can tell you about the nature of the species we are fightin’; their capabilities, tendencies, political organisations and known weaknesses…
bear in mind that First Contact weren’t much more than 4 years ago and we’ve been at War for almost all the intervenin’ time, so a lot of what we teach you will be little more than guesswork and hearsay from prisoners we’ve interrogated… The mornin’s’ll also be where you learn the particulars of the equipment you’ll be expected to be proficient with in the field. This includes firearms, plasmaweaponry and durasteel armour, as well as the tech you’ll likely encounter from the opposite side; kinetic pulse weapons, laser weapons, field emitters etc… I
strongly suggest that
no one allows word to get back to me that they’re not takin’ these classes seriously!… A stupid soldier is a
dead soldier!”
She glares around the room, her eyes resting on me four a quarter of a second.
“…In the afternoons and evenin’s, you’ll be doing PT… that’s ‘
Physical Trainin’’… soon to be every
one of your two
least favourite words in the English Language(!) “
I notice a wry smirk twist the mouths of a few of the camp attendants.
“In PT you will be drilled in agility, endurance, close quarters combat and coordinated marching… Five times over the comin’ 8 months, you and your trainin’ partner will be dropped into a remote bit of wilderness, somewhere on Earth, for five day practical survival experience. You will be given a beacon, to summon retrieval, but these are only to be used in cases of actual threat to life or bodily
integrity… not because you’re feelin’
miserable!”
She takes a second to pause for breath.
“You get an allowance of 12 days off, over your time here… that’s
two a month… These are subject to
my approval and I may deny them for
any reason, including
no reason… so
don’
t piss me off!… You may
not take more than 2 consecutive days leave at a time! Certain classes are
mandatory and leave will
not be approved on days they occur. If your allowance is spent, no more leave will be approved, barring a
real emergency!… Now, for today, you are going to line up to have your maps and room keys downloaded onto your holos when your name is called,
then you are going to have your bodies scanned for your armour measurements… at that point everyone with no uterus has the rest of the day free to settle in… If you
have a uterus, you’ll need to report to medical to get your cycle paused! This is, I’m afraid,
nonoptional… You are not prohibited from engaging in relations with your fellow recruits but you
cannot be a soldier while you’re able to get pregnant. Attempts to circumvent this requirement in
any way will land you in the Stockade!… After your cycle pause has been given, you’ll also have the rest of the day to settle in…
Enjoy it! It’ll be the most downtime you get for a
while!… Finally… I believe we have a 17 year old with us here… Pvt Taylor?”
A few people put their hands up, most looking confused.
“Pvt
Oskar Taylor! The
17 year old?” she says, exasperated.
All but one of those with their hands up put them down.
The one remaining Pvt Taylor with his hand in the air has pale skin, black hair, brown eyes and a sharp featured face wearing a dour expression.
He stands even taller than Forest… Nearly 2m tall!
Though he’s not
quite as heavily built, he’s certainly a
good looking piece of boycandy!
“Pvt
Taylor…” says Sands, her mouth breaking into a smile for the first time I’ve seen “…couldn’t
wait to go off to War, could you(?)”
He mutters something but, while I can hear the power and deepness of his voice, I can’t make out a word he says.
“You’ll have to speak
up, Taylor! Nobody’ll be able to hear you if you mumble.” points out Sands.
“I said I had some personal circumstances that made this the most sensible course of action for me, Ma’am.” says the tall, dark haired man, looking over her head rather than down at her and speaking in a grim monotone. He definitely loses boycandy points for the poshness of his accent, unfortunately…
“I see… I won’t pry into
that but… you didn’t think of Officer Training?
That’
s the route that
most people take when volunteering ahead of their conscription.”
He shakes his head “I thought of it and decided against it, Ma’am.”
“Oh? Why’s that, Pvt Taylor?”
“I didn’t believe I would
make a good officer, Ma’am.” he answers simply.
She laughs “I wish every soldier could be as introspective, Taylor! I like
you!… Unfortunately, bein’ a minor does mean that you can’t be put in a room with others…
Sooo, that means you get a room to yourself… for the moment. Might
sound cushy but before anyone else gets
too jealous, bare in mind that privacy is the
only advantage! His room will be a sixth the size of yours so its basic’ly a
broomcupboard… the
disadvantage will be
severely reduced opportunity to socialise!… If that doesn’t sound doable, you can leave and come back when you turn 18, Taylor.”
“It’s acceptable, Ma’am.” he says without hesitating.
Yeah… it’s official… I
don’
t like him…
---later---
I rub the spot on my arm where the serum was thunked into me about 15 minutes ago.
Like with everything
else about conscription, I
get it… I understand the
point…
But seeing the sense doesn’t mean I have to
like it!
It’s not like I
want to get pregnant (getting a nine month reprieve from service would be a
fairly shitty reason for me to bring a
child into the world) but it does feel like one last slap in the face to my personal
autonomy that I’ve just had a cycle pause fucking
mandated upon my body by the government!
As I draw near, door 1512 detects the key downloaded on my holo and unlocks
I open it and am greeted by a blonde girl, smiling broadly and instantly identifiable as
brimming with ADHD energy.
“
Hey there! My name’s Charlotte, it’s
lovely to meet you!” says the girl, wrapping me in a hug without asking if I’m OK with that.
Her accent makes me wonder if
everyone I meet here is going to be a posh
toff!
She makes three of
three of my fellow draftees!
“A pleasure, Charlotte… the name’s Esme…” I say, speaking Scottish accented standard English and gingerly patting her back.
“Oh, you’re
Scottish…?” she says pulling herself off me with an expression that suggests meeting a Scottish person is just the most
wonderful thing she could have
imagined “…My great grandmother was from Edinburgh, where are
you from?”
“Stranraer.” I answer.
She frowns “I don’t know it, I’m
sorry!”
“I won’t hold it against you… Southwestern tip of Scotland? Where it nearly touches Ireland and the Man Peninsula?… ’Bout two and a half million people?”
“Oh,
wooow! I don’t think I’ve ever
met someone from a
village before!” she says, seeming entirely oblivious to how that
might be taken as an insult.
“Yeah… I guess it’s
not that big.”
“Well…” she wraps me back in the hug and continues “…we’re the first ones to the room and that
has to mean we’re going to be
best friends!”
“I’m afraid my best friend’s name is Tamsin… the position is
not open.” I say, firmly setting a boundary.
“I meant best
bootcamp friends, silly!” she says, as if that should have gone without saying.
“Alright… I guess that positions open… but you’ve not got the job
yet(!)” I quip, warming up a little to the ball of posh English energy.
She pulls back and beams at me “Alright then, for my
first act as best bootcamp friend candidate, let me show you the view!…
That should earn me some points!”
She says, leading me into the room that’s so small it makes me doubt that that goody-two-shoes 17 year old can
possibly have one a
sixth this size!
She leads me to the window and spends a few moments making sure I’m positioned just right before she draws back the curtain.
The view
is quite breathtaking… rolling hills of snow blanketed mammoth steppe, lit by evening sun, with barely any of the sprawling military camp visible.
Though, you
can see one of the tallest structures ever built by Humanity… the Sussex Space elevator… several times the Earth’s own diameter, the ‘top’, if you can even
call it that, is a fifth of the way from here to Luna! …And… in 8 months, I’m going to be riding it, all the way up, to get on a troop transport.
“Look! See! There’s a herd of aurochs over on that hill! You know this place used to be a national park, before even Unification or the Reset! It’s called the South Downs! My mum told me we had family from here… obviously I never met any of them because they would have left
hundreds of years ago!…”
The bubbly girl talks and talks and… just
keeps talking… but I don’t particularly mind.
