Why do you say that the British can t fight wars, but they can t deceive?

Because in World War II, Britain did not do anything significant in actual combat, but its performance in intelligence work was particularly outstanding.

The British could not fight a war head-on, but when it came to intelligence work and sneak attacks behind enemy lines, Britain was still very powerful.

Because the overall strength and performance of the British are not as good as those of other countries, but Britain's intelligence work is excellent, outstanding in various countries, and it uses intelligence to deceive the enemy to win.

Speaking of Britain, many people will not be unfamiliar, after all, the former was the empire that dominated the world in the 19th century, and it is recognized as a capitalist power. Although Britain lost its hegemony after World War II, on the whole, its military strength was still ranked among the best in the world. Compared with other countries, in addition to using high-tech equipment, British soldiers can also enjoy life on the way to war, and British tank soldiers like to drink black tea while driving tanks.

After China's tea business was transferred to the United Kingdom, the British also developed the habit of drinking tea, and even many military descendants have this special hobby. In modern times, due to the slow march of British tank troops, soldiers sitting in tanks would always be tempted to drink a few sips of black tea, and over time, others have become familiar with the scene that "soldiers like to taste black tea elegantly in slow-moving tanks". There are always a few pastimes in a boring military career, and for the British, the Navy prefers beer, and the Army prefers black tea.

Fighting a war is a very serious matter, so why would the British top brass turn a blind eye to the behavior of soldiers driving tanks and drinking tea? In fact, for them, this is not a big deal, at that time the tank group did not have air conditioning, in winter and summer to endure the heat, in order to adjust the mood of the soldiers, retain a relatively complete strength, most of the tanks were installed as much as possible water supply facilities, the purpose of which is to allow the soldiers to replenish the state through coffee or black tea in time.

So is this behavior risky, the answer is yes. In the 1911 Gulf War, the FV4003 barrier-breaking tank group of the British Royal Corps of Engineers paid a terrible price for its single-minded drinking of black tea. The so-called FV4003 tank is not actually an advanced tank, at best it can only be said to be an old modification of the capture tank that was eliminated after World War II.

On the afternoon of February 2, 1991 local time, the British army, which was preparing black tea as usual, did not use the electric heating device in accordance with the regulations, resulting in a short circuit in the power supply, and more than 40 shells in the tank were detonated, killing four soldiers and injuring the remaining three. At this time, because the British army drank black tea, the tank shell was detonated, and the incident caused a sensation.

As far as today's situation is concerned, the living conditions of the tank troops at that time were indeed difficult, and people in the deserts of the Middle East would have dry tongues and mouths outside, not to mention soldiers who stayed in stuffy tanks all day. In order to meet the needs of warfare, soldiers need to replenish electrolytes, water and minerals from time to time, and the rumors of enjoying themselves may really be false, after all, driving tanks and sports cars is not a concept, and the British army, which has been drinking black tea for a long time, can definitely play its best military strength perfectly in the long run, which is not a good thing for the entire army.
