Expedition to Europe

Karim was once a cavalry captain in the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire had disintegrated before the world war ended, and Karim became a rootless duckweed. In addition, Karim's troops suffered heavy losses in the world war, so Karim retired from the army and did not want to accept it anymore. A sorrow of separation and death.

But as luck would have it, on the night of Hanasol's surprise attack, Karim was once again drawn into the whirlpool. This time, Karim didn't want to back down.

It must be said that Karim is still very charming. Although Karim is in extreme poverty now, there are still people who are willing to follow Karim, such as Karim's new friend Mai Jide, who joined the guard after Karim After that, Mai Jide also joined immediately.

To be honest, Mai Jide's small body originally did not meet the standards, but after Karim expressed his need for a follower, Mai Jide was immediately registered in another roster.

Karim, who has military service experience, is still very valued. After joining the Guard, Karim was immediately appointed as the commander of a company, which is the highest position an Iraqi in the Guard can get. According to the tradition of the British Empire, officers always have some privileges in the army. They can even have slaves and servants. It's strange, isn't it? Think of the several trucks of big boxes that Churchill had when he went to the front. Imperialism is so decadent!

"Karim, these uniforms are so beautiful." After joining the Guard, Karim and Maijid can live in another camp. Because of Karim's status as an officer, the tent where Karim lives has been changed to a single-person tent. The tent also benefited Mai Jide. After receiving the military uniform, Mai Jide followed Karim back to the tent with the military uniform. It seemed that Mai Jide was a little excited.

"Maijide, from now on, you have to call me sir." Karim said seriously.

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

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

"Yes, sir." Mai Jide entered the state a little slowly, but his reaction speed was pretty good.

"From now on, we are soldiers. We must hold ourselves to the standards of a soldier. I will teach you some things so that you can save your life on the battlefield. But in my opinion, you should still go to the oil fields. At least there is no danger there." Karim does not approve of Mai Jide joining the army. Physically speaking, Mai Jide is not suitable. This means that Mai Jide has to pay more to have the same strength as others. Karim is not sure about Mai Jide. Can Jide hold on?

"No, I want to join the army, not only because I want 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 chance to receive education. As for Mai Jide, he still doesn't know how to use honorifics.

"I forgot. Well, you have to be prepared to suffer." Karim stopped trying to persuade him. Everyone has his or her own ambitions.

"I have been enduring hardship since the day I was born, so I am not afraid, sir." Mai Jide was determined.

Karim looked at Mai Jide with relief in his eyes, and stopped talking nonsense, taking Mai Jide back to his tent.

"Servant" is actually similar to a servant. When there is no war, he has to serve his master. He does everything from dressing and eating to washing clothes and mopping the floor. If nothing happens, he has to help his master brush his horse and so on. When the war starts, the servant will also Picking up a weapon and fighting with your master is actually a very dangerous and hard job.

However, because of this, the attendant will enjoy more benefits. Not as good as Mai Jide. While receiving a salary of thirty shillings a day from the British, he will also receive an extra share from Karim, so the "attendant" This job is still very attractive.

After changing his clothes, Karim's figure was tall and straight, his appearance was impressive, and he still looked good. Mai Jide was fascinated by the sight.

The British haven't had time to customize the uniforms for the guards, so they still use British uniforms. This cavalry officer's version of the uniform is made of woolen material, the position of the armed belt is a bit high, and the golden section of the human body proportion is a little higher, which makes Ka Reem looks particularly upright, and with the matching horsehide boots, he is indeed energetic.

After leaving the tent, Mai Jide could clearly see something strange in other people's eyes. Although the respect and envy were not for him, Mai Jide still felt honored.

The efficiency of the British is still very good. Although the camp is busy, it is neat and orderly. The new guards soldiers marching in formation under the leadership of the officers, and there are already troops training on the school grounds.

Karim does not yet have his own troops. Before that, Karim must report to his superior, General Steven Strachey.

This is a general who participated in the World War. Although his performance in the World War was not outstanding, he did not make any mistakes. Steven Strachey is in his fifties. He is in good spirits. He is thin and has a stern expression. He has the traditional rigidity and meanness of a British officer.

Putting down the resume in his hand and looking at Karim standing straight in front of his desk, Steven Strachey felt a little more satisfied in his eyes.

"Please rest a moment, Captain, you should be deeply impressed by what happened, so I now ask you to start working immediately and make your children combat-ready as soon as possible. We are going to give some people some color to see. Is there any problem?" Steven Strachey did not speak Farsi, so Karim had to use a translator to understand what Steven Strachey meant, which made Karim feel uncomfortable.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. It was impossible to ask the British general in front of him to learn Persian, so Karim was going to find a teacher to learn English. At least he should be able to express his daily language.

In addition to his native language, Karim also speaks a little bit of Spanish and German. This is normal. Spanish is currently the most widely spoken language in the world. It will take decades for English to become a universal language.

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

"No problem, sir!" Karim answered while tapping his heels hard, which made Karim's answer extra powerful.

Judging from Steven Strachey's expression, Steven Strachey is still very satisfied with Karim: "Given your previous experience, your military rank is set to be captain, but this is definitely not You are at the limit of your ability, work hard young man, I hope you will become the first general in Iraq."

This was probably a cliché, Steven Strachey would say it to everyone, but when he heard these words, Karim still felt his blood boil. If he wants to avenge his brothers, Karim must have greater power. In the past, Karim was frustrated and aloof, but now Karim attaches great importance to this because he has sufficient motivation.

After saying goodbye to Steven Strachey, Karim came to the school grounds and found his unit under the guidance of the officer on duty.

This is a company of 120 people. Compared with the ordinary British infantry company, the size of this company is a bit small, but it is more in line with Karim's previous organization in the army, which makes Karim feel a little bit like before.

The British still have abundant capital. Karim's company is equipped with all Enfield rifles and a fire platoon consisting of six light machine guns. Although there is no artillery, it is considered to be comparable to the troops Karim led before. Advanced equipment. Karim used to serve in the Ottoman Empire. Although the Ottoman Empire was also an old empire, its national strength was not very strong. The soldiers did not even have enough weapons, and their training conditions were not optimistic, so they suffered a complete defeat in the world war.

Now that he finally has a well-equipped army, Karim feels that his choice is not bad.

When Karim arrived at the school grounds, 120 young men in uniforms had already lined up on the school grounds. The young men held their chests high and raised their heads, striving to show their best side to their superiors.

"Congratulations, boys. My name is Abdul Karim, your commander. Don't worry about remembering my name. You will never forget it even if you want to. In the next two months, I will I hope you all can persevere, otherwise I will strip him naked and tie him at the entrance of the camp, so that everyone can see his anus being fucked--" Karim's working method adheres to the tradition of the Ottoman Empire and is simple. rough.

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

It is not uncommon for the Prussians to serve the British. Although they were opponents during the World War, after the World War, many Germans lost their jobs after retiring. If they had other life skills, becoming mercenaries became their best choice.

The Ottoman Empire, where Karim once served, and the former German Empire were allies in the World War. Karim was deeply impressed by the well-trained German army, so Karim shouted out commands in Prussian. The officers were particularly concerned.

Soldiers have a very keen sixth sense. During the training break, the Prussian officer came directly to Karim: "Hello, my name is Jackson. Nice to meet you."

From this day on, Karim's company began training in the prescribed courses. These new recruits needed to train in many subjects, and Karim brought a lot of private goods with him. Compared with other companies, Karim's company's training was more intense. It is bigger and more effective, which allows Karim's company to grow at the fastest speed.
