Once Karim was a cavalry captain in the Ottoman Empire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before the end of the world war, the Ottoman Empire had already disintegrated, Karim had become a rootless duckweed, and Karim's troops had suffered heavy losses in the world war, so Karim retired from the army, not wanting to accept the sadness of life and death again.

But on the night of Hanathor's raid, Karim was once again swept into the maelstrom, and this time, Karim didn't want to back down again.

I have to say that Karim is still very charismatic, although Karim is extremely down-and-out now, there are still people who are willing to follow Karim, such as Karim's new friend Mai Jide, after Karim joined the guard, Mai Jide also joined.

To be honest, McJide's small body was originally substandard, but after Karim said that he needed an attendant, McJide was immediately registered in another roster.

Karim, who had served in the army, was still highly valued, and immediately after joining the Guard, he was appointed company commander, the highest position an Iraqi could receive in the Guard. According to the tradition of the British Empire, officers always had some privileges in the army, and they could even have slaves and servants, which is strange, isn't it? Think of the carts of big boxes when Churchill went to the front, imperialism is really rotten!

"Karim, these uniforms are so beautiful." After joining the guard, Karim and McJid can live in another camp, because of Karim's status as an officer, the tent where Karim lives has also been changed to a single tent, which makes McJid also benefit, after receiving the military uniform, McJid followed Karim back to the tent with the military uniform, it seems that McJid is a little excited.

"Mai Jide, from now on, you have to call me sir." Karim is colored.

Soldiers are different from workers, and the sense of hierarchy is still strict, and Karim does not want to be an alternative in the eyes of other officers, so he will teach Mai Jide to learn the rules from now on.

Compared to Karim and McJid's previous friendship, this is indeed a bit cruel, but this is the reality, and both Karim and McJid have to accept it.

"Yes, sir." Mai Jide is a little slow to enter the state, and the reaction speed is not bad.

"From now on we are soldiers, we must hold ourselves to the standards of soldiers, I will teach you something so that you can save your life on the battlefield, but in my opinion, you should still go to the oil field, at least there is no danger there." Karim does not approve of Mai Jide joining the army, in terms of physical condition, Mai Jide is not suitable, which means that Mai Jide has to pay more in order to have the same strength as others, Karim is not sure if Mai Jide can hold on.

"No, I want to join the army, not only to follow you, but also for the thirty shillings a day." Mai Jide's reason is very simple, perhaps it is because of poverty that Mai Jide has no opportunity to receive education, so that Mai Jide does not know how to use honorifics.

"I forgot, well, you have to be prepared to suffer." Karim no longer advises, everyone has their own aspirations.

"I've been suffering since the day I was born, so I'm not afraid, sir." McJid was determined.

Karim looked at Maijide with relief in his eyes, and stopped talking nonsense, and took Maijide back to his tent.

The "squire" is actually similar to a servant, when there is no war, he has to serve the master, from dressing and eating to washing clothes and mopping the floor, and he has to help the master brush a horse or something, and when the war begins, the squire has to pick up arms and follow the master to fight, which is actually a very dangerous hard work.

However, because of this, the squire will enjoy more benefits, unlike McJid, who will receive an additional salary of thirty shillings a day from the English, so the job of "squire" is still very attractive.

After changing his clothes, Karim is tall, his appearance is still good, and he is fascinated by Mai Jide.

The British haven't had time to customize the clothing for the guards, they still use the British uniform, this cavalry officer's version of the uniform is tweed, the position of the armed belt is a little high, and the golden section point of the human body proportion is a little upward, which makes Karim's whole person look extraordinarily straight, plus the issued horseskin boots, the whole person is indeed spiritual.

After leaving the tent, it was obvious that Mai Jide could find something strange in the eyes of others, although those elements of respect and envy were not for himself, but Mai Jide still felt honored.

The efficiency of the British was still very good, although the camp was busy but orderly, the new guards soldiers marched under the leadership of the officer, and there were already troops training on the school grounds.

Karim does not yet have his own troops, and before that, Karim has to report to his superior, General Steven Streich.

This is a general who fought in the world wars, and although his performance in the world wars was not outstanding, he did not make mistakes either. Steven Straitch is in his fifties, in good spirits, emaciated, with a grim expression, and the British officer's tradition of being rigid and mean.

Putting down the resume in his hand and looking at Karim standing straight at his desk, Steven Stredge's eyes were a little more satisfied.

"Please take a moment, Captain, you should be impressed by what happened, so I now ask you to get to work right away, to get your children ready as soon as possible, and we're going to give some people some color to see, is there a problem?" Steven Streich doesn't speak Persian, and Karim has to rely on a translator to understand what Steven Streich means, which makes Karim feel bad.

However, there is no way to do this, it is impossible to ask the British general in front of him to learn Persian, so Karim is ready to go back and find a teacher to learn English, at least in everyday language.

Karim knows a little Spanish and German in addition to his native language, which is normal, and Spanish is currently the most widely spoken language in the world, and it will be decades before English becomes the world's universal language.

Of course, judging from the current situation, Chinese may also become a world language, because of the existence of Lanfang, more and more people are interested in Chinese.

"No problem, sir!" Karim replied with a hard slap on his heel, which made Karim's answer extra powerful.

Judging from Steven Streich's expression, Steven Streich was still very satisfied with Karim: "In view of your previous experience, your military rank has been set to captain, but this is certainly not the limit of your ability, do a good job, young man, I am optimistic that you will become the first general in Iraq." ”

This is probably a cliché, Steven Streich would say it to everyone, but when he heard it, Karim's blood still boiled. If he wants to avenge his brothers, Karim has to have more power, and in the past, Karim was disheartened and forced to be ambitious, but now Karim attaches great importance to this, because he has plenty of motivation.

After bidding farewell to Steven Streich, Karim went to the school grounds and found his unit under the guidance of the officer on duty.

It was a 120-man company, a little small compared to the average British infantry company, but it was more in line with Karim's previous military formation, which gave Karim a bit of a sense of what he had before.

The British still have a lot of money, and Karim's company is equipped with all Enfield rifles, and there is a fire platoon composed of six light machine guns, although there is no artillery, but it is more advanced than the army that Karim has led before. Karim had previously served in the Ottoman Army, and although the Ottoman Empire was also an old empire, the country was not very strong, the soldiers did not even have enough weapons, and the training situation was not optimistic, so it was defeated in the world war.

Now that he finally has a well-equipped army, Karim feels like he's made a good choice.

By the time Karim arrived, 120 uniformed boys had lined up on the school grounds, all holding their heads up, trying to show their best side to their superiors.

"Congratulations, boys, my name is Abdul Karim, your sir, don't be in a hurry to remember my name, you won't forget it in the future, I hope you can all stick to it for the next two months, or I'll strip him naked and tie him to the camp gate so that everyone can see his chrysanthemum being-" Karim's way of working is simple and crude in Ottoman tradition.

While Karim was lecturing his troops, a young officer was shouting slogans in Prussian and leading his troops through formation training on a nearby field.

It was not uncommon for the Prussians to play for the British, although they were opponents in the world war, but after the world war, many Germans lost their jobs after retiring, and they had no other life skills, and becoming a mercenary became their best choice.

The Ottoman Empire, where Karim had served, and the German Empire, which had been allies in the World War, were so impressed by the training of the German army that Karim paid special attention to the officer who shouted commands in Prussian.

Soldiers, the sixth sense is still very keen, and during the training break, the Prussian officer came directly to Karim: "Hello, my name is Jackson, it's nice to meet you." ”

From this day on, Karim's company began the training of the prescribed course, these recruits need to train a lot of items, Karim has a lot of private goods, compared to other companies, Karim's company training is more intense, and the effect is better, which makes Karim's company grow up at the fastest speed.
