Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 955

For southern Africans, the biggest difficulty in fighting in Europe is not the pressure of the battlefield, but the harsh natural environment.

In most parts of southern Africa, not to mention that it is warm like spring all year round, but in any case, the heavy snow is not so deep that it is one meter deep. Many children born in southern Africa have never seen what snow looks like. There is even less experience in dealing with severe cold weather.

The situation of the expeditionary army is not good, and the Ottoman troops have nowhere to go. The expeditionary army has supplies, but it is difficult to send them to the front line, and the Ottoman troops can’t send them if they want to. The Ottoman deserters came to Kersehir and voluntarily surrendered to the expeditionary force. The deserters' troops were stationed only ten kilometers away from Kersehir. According to the deserters' account, the Ottoman troops had also been out of food for a week, and the situation was even worse.

"Everything that can be eaten has been eaten, even the leather belts are boiled to satisfy hunger, rats are a rare delicacy, the wounded die in wailing, people flee every day, guards take a nap in the snow and die Failed to get up, burned everything they could to keep warm, demolished the homes of civilians, and died of hunger and cold at night, so that we can take what they have of food, which may be the seeds of next year— "The confession of the captives made people shudder, and the damage caused by the war can be seen.

A soldier of the Expeditionary Army brought some moldy black bread to the prisoner. The prisoner didn't bother to thank him, but started to chew on it, and then started to cry after chewing on it.

Too hard to chew on.

The surrounding expeditionary soldiers wanted to laugh but couldn't. Soldiers should die on the battlefield, not die of such humiliation.

Another soldier brought some hot water, and the prisoner couldn't help crying again while holding the hot water.

The dinner of the expeditionary army has also been prepared, and the luncheon meat, which was unheard of in the past, has become a rare delicacy. The officers and soldiers of the expeditionary army finally know how lucky they are. They have a strong headquarters. Do everything possible to protect the frontline troops.

Dinner was luncheon meat mixed with dehydrated vegetable porridge, which looked sticky and unappetizing, but no one disliked it at this time, and each of the folk husbands was given a bowl, and they licked the bowl clean. None left.

After dinner, there is unlimited coffee as usual. Milk and sugar are added according to the proportion before leaving the factory. You can drink that kind of water when you boil it. Soldiers who don’t like sugar are not pretentious at this time. Some drinks are good. , During the war years, sugar was a luxury for civilians.

"We're going back tomorrow morning. If you need anything, you'd better make a list for me and bring it to you when I come back next time. Damn the weather, I don't know when it will clear up." Liu Zhen was still wearing his sheepskin Ao, in front of him was a big blazing brazier, fueled by the demolished gate of an uninhabited house in Kersehir. There are many such houses.

In the corner not far from the brazier, an Ottoman girl was curled up wrapped in an expeditionary-style military coat. The military coat was obviously fat and completely wrapped the girl in. The girl just had a meal and got another piece of chocolate, and now she is sleeping soundly .

"We need everything except bullets. The staff officers in the logistics department have brain problems. Who would attack in this kind of weather? What we need are cotton coats, food and fur boots. A girl like this—" Paul tried his best to the sleeping girl. Nuzui, he casually put a piece of firewood into the brazier, and the fire suddenly became stronger: "A pair of leather boots can be exchanged for—"

"Be careful--" Liu Zhen kindly reminded that the expeditionary force does not prohibit this kind of behavior, but it cannot be forced. Officers on Cyprus Island, who can have a few maids.

"I'm helping her. Even if I don't buy Merrieha, Merrieha's father will sell her. At least with me, Merrieha can eat well and sleep soundly, and don't have to give birth to some fool." Children." Paul has good reason, he must not rise to the height of enhancing national integration.

Liu Zhen returned to his residence and found that there was already a person lying on his bed.

This was specially arranged by Paul for Liu Zhen, but Liu Zhen did not accept it, but wrapped himself in a sheepskin jacket and slept in front of the brazier.

The next morning, the weather finally cleared up, and when the long-lost sun rose, even the captives and civilian husbands couldn't help cheering.

It is very dangerous to be in the wild at this time, and the threat of snow blindness has greatly increased. Liu Zhen and the others stayed in Kersehir for another day, clearing all the snow in Kersehir town before leaving.

While the frontline troops were struggling, Cyprus also ushered in the first heavy snow since the beginning of winter.

Compared with the Anatolian plateau, the heavy snow in Cyprus is much gentler, and the snowflakes are obviously smaller, finer and more crystal clear, which surprised Judy who has never seen snow since she was born.

Judy, who was just three years old, was wearing a thick orange-red cotton padded jacket. Sitting on the stroller, she looked at the snow with envious eyes, but she didn't dare to walk on the snow.

Gavin and Alvin are also on vacation today. They lead a hound called Little Ears to have fun in the snow. Little Ears doesn't know whether it is the son or grandson of the big man. He has been in the Rock family since he was born, and the real dog is born at its peak.

"Why don't you go for a walk on the snow like your brothers?" Rock was wearing a black hunting jacket with a small lapel and a Marshal gold star on the neckline. He didn't forget to take off his gloves when he picked up Judy.

Judy looked at Roque with big round black eyes and didn't speak. Since Judy was born, Roque was rarely at home, and he and Judy got together more often, but there was no doubt about Rock's feelings for Judy. The daughter belonged to his father. Little padded jacket.

Here in Rock, the son is not welcome. If the daughter is a little padded jacket, then the son is a leather jacket. It is airtight in summer and not warm in winter. Wearing it is a pain. If you don’t wear it, it’s a waste to hang it in the closet. Not to mention the benefits, it is also expensive, so it can only be used to save face.

"Come on, I'll go with you, do you know what it's like to step on the snow?" Rock's tone was so gentle that it could melt the snowflakes.

Judy shook her head.

"Then you have to feel it yourself—" Rock carried Judy into the snow, and Gavin and Alvin immediately ran over yelling.

"Come down and play Judy—" Alvin also liked his sister very much, and was not jealous that his sister could monopolize his father's arms.

"Let's go, Judy, I'll take you to see something fun. I asked Angie to make a sleigh, and I will let Little Ears pull you to run on the snow. Do you know what a sleigh is? Santa Claus will give you gifts Do you want a real elk? Brother Angie said he could get it—” Gavin is now at the age where he can play, and the little ear next to him doesn’t know what is waiting for him, silly The excitement expressed by flicking the tongue and repeatedly jumping across the mouth.

Judy used to be in poor health. Although Gavin and Alvin liked Little Ears very much, Phyllis didn't allow Little Ears to approach Judy, so Little Ears didn't dare to come over. She could only show how excited she was by flicking her tail. How much I want to play with the little master.

"Go Judy, go play with your brothers, Alvin, don't be naughty, Gavin, take care of your siblings—" Rock put Judy on the snow, and Judy finally felt the pain of stepping on the snow Feeling, so she was pleasantly surprised to step on another place, and hearing the creaking sound of her feet, Judy raised her head and looked at Rock, with an unprecedentedly bright smile.

Rock felt like his heart was about to melt.

"I'm not naughty anymore, I've grown up!" Alvin emphasized earnestly, but his voice was a little soft.

Rock is trying to get used to what it's like to be with the kids, and the kids are trying to get used to life with their dad.

"Yes, Marshal! Guaranteed to complete the task!" Gavin's military salute seemed to be in the air. He is now a member of the Southern African Boy Scouts and has participated in two Boy Scout summer camps. This made Rock very regretful. Strictly speaking, Luo Ke Ke didn't witness the growth of the children. It seemed that the children had grown up in a blink of an eye.

The "we" here does not include Alvin and Judy, but refers to Gavin and Arthur.

Like Phyllis, Ida has strict requirements for children. Although Arthur does not have the right to inherit the title of Rock, Ida still trains Arthur in the way of nobility. Arthur, who was born in 1903, is now 11 years old. , because I have to wait to go to school with Gavin, Arthur is now in the fourth grade of elementary school, but the progress of Arthur and Gavin cannot be measured by grade, Phyllis and Ada have hired tutors for the children, the children After school, they still have to accept language, art, social, history and many other courses that Rock seems to have a big head.

This "history" does not refer to the history in the textbooks, but the family history of the nobles of various European countries. For example, the Belgian prince of eleven countries will never be written in the history textbooks, but the members of the nobles must be familiar.

As complicated as bloodlines are the family coats of arms of nobles from various countries. In this regard, there is a relatively general discipline called "heraldry", which includes not only family coats of arms, but also identification of artworks, records of family honors and achievements Wait, when many noble members see a work of art, they can immediately tell a story behind the work of art. This is not nonsense, but requires long-term accumulation and rich experience. This is the noble class The real background of widening the gap with the civilian class.

Just like the famous story, a certain last emperor returned to the palace to visit, but found that the portraits on the wall did not match the historical facts, so he had a dispute with the so-called experts. The last emperor had no title, and his status was also a commoner, but he had experience, so there was the famous sentence: "This is my father, I will admit my mistake——"

Looking at Judy who finally happily became the little tail of his brothers, Rock showed a kind aunt smile on the snow.

Phyllis, who was also tightly wrapped, came over and took Roque's arm, resting her head on Roque's shoulder contentedly,
