Chapter 113: Giroud
Giroud, an ordinary cavalry officer who retired from the Eastern Frontier Army many years ago, has ten years of combat command experience in cavalry units at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. However, because there was no relationship or major combat exploits, the highest position only served as the rank of lieutenant squad leader, until he was promoted to one level in accordance with the regulations when he retired, and retired with the rank of captain.
Originally, after he retired, he wanted to use the relatively generous officer salary and retirement money to start a small business, and then marry a decent wife to spend the rest of his life on a limited basis. But God didn't do it, and it was obvious that he had no talent for business.
Although he has the support of his status as a retired officer, the local underground shili and officials have not made it difficult for him, but even so, his business is still in a half-dead state, which may be the reason why others are not interested in making things difficult for him.
Fortunately, his wife and family did not blame him or abandon him, but he felt very unhappy, and he began to remember his days in the army.
I'm still only good for things like leading troops into war. Giroud thought to himself as he began to look forward to returning to the battlefield he had fought for ten years.
On an ordinary day, there are still no customers in the store, and suddenly a familiar and unfamiliar customer comes.
He said he was familiar because the guest was a classmate who had joined the army at the same time as Giroud, and they were assigned to the same boot camp for recruit training, and even they were roommates in the same dormitory, and then they were assigned to serve in the same wing of the Eastern Frontier Regiment at the same time.
He is said to be a stranger because Giroud has lost contact with him for four or five years, when Giroud became the team leader, he was transferred, as for where he was transferred, the reason for the transfer, and the position of the transfer, he was mysteriously transferred.
This was a sensational thing for their team at that time, after all, there had been no major war on the eastern border in recent years, and this matter could be regarded as a topic of conversation after dinner.
There are various speculations, some say that he offended the powerful and that he was secretly executed and transferred to the order was just an excuse; some said that he was favored by the secret department and transferred to a secret unit; and some are even more outrageous, saying that he was originally the heir of a great nobleman, who came to the barracks for excitement or other reasons, and now his family knows that he has been transferred back through connections.
In short, there are all kinds of things, but none of them have real evidence or are recognized by most people, so with the passage of time, it gradually fades in everyone's hearts. And his contact with Giroud was cut off, and if it weren't for his sudden visit today, Giroud would have forgotten that there was such a contemporary.
And the most unbelievable thing for Giroud is that he is the most low-ranking officer who should be like him, but now he is wearing a high-end silk gown, a pair of high-end leather boots worthy of half of his shop, and a noble girl with an aristocratic temperament at first glance.
And what surprised Giroud the most was that he had a one-handed sword at his waist that looked like a boutique at first glance, and judging from the magic fluctuations on it, it was a weapon with secondary enchantment. You must know that this kind of enchanted weapon, even the lowest level of secondary enchantment, is a rare sword.
Giroud remembered that his wing captain had one of these sub-enchanted spears, which he usually loved very much, more than his wife and son, and once a captain of another wing wanted to see it, and he angrily scolded him and drove him out of the wing camp and listed him as the least persona non grata, which shows how much he takes it.
And now there is also a 'contemporaneity' in front of him, doesn't it mean that he has a higher status than the captain of the wing. What has he done in the past few years, Giroud has a faint jealousy and doubt in his heart.
"Hey, look who is here, isn't this our dear Paye? It's been a long time, it looks like you've been developed lately, and if there's anything good to be done, I'll introduce it to my brother and me in the face of the same time." Giroud was a man who couldn't hide things in his heart, so he decided to ask directly.
"haha~~ Dear Giroud, you still haven't changed, you're still the Giroud I know, I knew you would ask that. Paye hahadaxiao replied, and then whispered a few words to the noble lady in her arms, who reluctantly walked away, apparently with Paye breaking her away.
"I'm here to introduce you to a new job," Paye said straight to the point. Paye knows that his contemporaries are a straight-to-go guy who doesn't like to beat around the bush, which is another major reason why he hasn't been promoted.
"What type of work, how much it pays, and there won't be any 'problems'. Giroud was a little impressed, but still cautiously asked, the type of job was the least important, he just casually asked, the pay was the most important, and the 'is there a problem', he was sure that Payet would understand what he meant.
"Don't worry about the salary, it will definitely satisfy you, just look at me, as long as you take this job, everything can be at your fingertips. And you can rest assured that it will not be illegal, and this work is also your specialty, so you don't have to worry about not adapting. Seeing that he was moved, Paye instigated in pursuit.
Paye apparently had an investigation into Giroud's fulfillment, and when it came to Giroud's heart, he had little way to refuse, and the outcome was just as Paye had expected. After a brief hesitation, Giroud decided to accept Payet's job offer.
It was only in hindsight that Giroud had made the right decision, that he had been tasked with helping an unknown nobleman train his cavalry troops, and had even recently taken over the position of captain of a cavalry squad he had trained himself.
Although the position is similar to that in the army, there is a huge gap between the treatment and the army.
Since starting this job, Giroud's family has been a member of the landowning gentry class in their hometown, and his parents' status in their hometown has risen.
The child enters an expensive knight training school and learns to become a knight.
The wife began to be able to afford all kinds of luxuries that she had been reluctant to buy, and to attend the balls and salons of the high society (in this case, only for the Girouds, at most a few down-and-out barons or knights).
He also secretly raised a knight Hou family's **become**, of course, he thought that it was just to solve the needs of life, and it was by no means a destruction of the relationship between the husband and wife between them.
The stark contrast between Meihaode's life and the muddled life that preceded him made Giroud deeply grateful to Paye and the unknown nobles who gave him it, and he vowed to repay them.
