Cross-Sea Operation

On the sea, five warships from New Hamburg City's navy escorted two merchant ships as they sailed in grand procession toward Maputo.

Though the distance was short, most of the East African Army soldiers who had boarded showed little reaction. Only a very small number could not endure the rocking of the sea and felt a wave of dizziness—the symptoms of seasickness.

However, this performance left Colonel Schwar, who was leading the force, somewhat dissatisfied. Of course, this was based on his own experience. Though he did not get seasick, he still felt his insides churning like rivers and seas, and the slight discomfort gave him a new understanding of the ocean.

"It seems the Defense Force should organize a specialized force for amphibious operations, one that falls somewhere between the navy and the army. Not everyone can withstand the tossing at sea. They must undergo relevant training, or the army needs more training in such special environments. We may encounter this kind of unusual combat situation again in the future," Schwar said.

In fact, compared with most countries, the East African Army was performing quite well. East African immigrants had all crossed the seas to reach East Africa, so they possessed some tolerance for the waves and rocking of the ocean. But after arriving in East Africa, they rarely went out to sea again.

This was mainly because East Africa's marine fishing industry was underdeveloped. Although East Africa possessed abundant marine fishery resources—the Somali Current in the east and the Benguela Current in the west could both create fishing grounds.

However, East Africa was not a country that lived by the sea. On the contrary, for national development, it had more actively pushed inland. This policy had undoubtedly been correct. Without inland development, East Africa would certainly have fallen
