Mr. Lu Xun said in the "Huagai Collection": The brave are angry, and they draw their blades to the stronger; The cowardly are angry, but they draw their blades against the weaker.

When Roque was reborn, "Huagai Collection" had been deleted from the textbook, perhaps the prosperity of the flowery era no longer needed Lu Xun's throwing guns and daggers, but the feelings of bravery and pity are worth having forever.

Officers and soldiers in iron gray uniforms occupied Constantinople, but the people of Constantinople were not afraid of the soldiers in iron gray uniforms, because they knew that although these soldiers in iron gray uniforms carried rifles with bayonets on their backs, they would not kill innocents indiscriminately, and they all had lighters in their pockets, but they would not set fire to the last hope of the people of Constantinople after they had finished grabbing things.

They will not violate women and children, on the contrary, when they see women carrying children on their backs looking for food in the ruins, they will take out cans or chocolates and other valuable food from their backpacks and hand them over, they are brave, they are benevolent, they are cold and warm, murderous and kind, so many contradictory adjectives are concentrated on them without making people feel absurd, in the chaos and uncontrolled city after the war, they are more trustworthy than the mob in the corner of the city.

This is the absurdity of war, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force in the government cities are more trustworthy than the Ottomans in the cities.

The girl, who was seized by two soldiers to be taken away, pinned her last hope on the officers and soldiers in iron-gray uniforms, and the other Ottoman men dared not speak out, they were afraid of the rifles and bayonets of the officers and men in dark brown uniforms, and when Constantinople was breached, the brave Ottoman men were all dead, and the rest were cowards.

The girl with her hands caught cried and struggled desperately, trying to break free from the soldiers' grips, kicking and kicking, trying to hook anything she could, as if that would escape the tragic fate that was coming.

"Hahahaha—don't struggle, I'll give you a loaf of bread later, if you can satisfy me—" The bearded soldier laughed wildly as he looked up to the sky.

"Hey, hey, hey—I think the more you struggle, the better, or you'll be like a corpse, and there's no fun at all—" The mustachioed soldier's words were disgusting, and the other officers and men of the 29th Division burst out laughing.

"Help me, please save me, don't let them take me, get rid of me, for God's sake—" The girl had a terrible voice and could speak English, which showed that the girl came from a very good background, and civilians did not have the conditions to learn English.

"Whahaha-you can actually speak English, did you go to an all-girls school in London?" A soldier of the 29th Division who watched the bustle was surprised, but he did not stop it.

"I've found a treasure, I'm still a student at a girls' school—" The mustachioed soldier laughed wildly and suddenly picked up the girl and slapped her the buttocks, and the second lieutenant was also looking at it with a smile, according to the tradition of the British army, officers have the right of first choice when dividing the spoils.

So—

"Enough!" Welson finally spoke, but it didn't attract the attention of the officers and men of the 29th Division.

Immediately, two soldiers in iron gray uniforms went up and snatched the girl down, and in the process of snatching, they inevitably had some physical contact with the mustachioed soldiers.

"What the hell are you doing? First come, then come, don't you understand—" The mustachioed soldier covered his face in shock and anger, and he thought it was an uneven distribution of spoils.

"This girl is our worker, you can't just take it away, didn't you hear our second lieutenant asking you to stop?" The Chinese soldiers, who had long been unbearable, carried steel helmets in their hands and did it with their own people, the sapper shovel was a bit excessive, and the steel helmet was the most suitable tool.

This is also the experience summed up by the soldiers of the expeditionary force, the steel helmet cannot kill people, but it can cause enough damage to the opponent.

"You ensigns of the 11th Division can't control the soldiers of our 29th Division." The mustachioed soldiers argued on the basis of reason, and the officers and men of the 11th Division present were outnumbered, and the officers and men of the 29th Division were alone, and the gentleman did not move his mouth.

"The second lieutenant still doesn't care about you as a soldier? You're so floating-" The soldier with the steel helmet scolded loudly, his hands-on ability was strong, and his mouth cannon was also invincible.

When the two soldiers quarreled, the officers on both sides did not speak, and the second lieutenant of the 29th Division looked coldly at Welson, who had the same cold eyes, how dare a colonial officer be so arrogant?

On the territory occupied by Lao Tzu, you dare to be so arrogant even if you pick up cheap?

"Mr. Ensign, I will complain to your commander." The second lieutenant of the 29th Division said harshly.

"Whatever, this is our defense area, isn't the defense area of your 29th Division on the other side of the strait?" Welson is not afraid, the current defense area is not fixed, and it is normal to cross the line, for the sake of an Ottoman girl, the commander of the 29th Division, Goff, can still turn against Roque.

With this bit of, it is estimated that it will be directly suppressed at the level of the battalion commander, and there will be no trouble at all, and this is not a glorious thing, and everyone will be embarrassed if it goes out.

It's the people of the British Empire who lost it.

Several officers and men of the 29th Division were embarrassed by the laughter of their iron-gray uniforms, and in retrospect, Wilson did not forget to care about the Ottoman girl who was curled up in a ball on the ground and crying.

"I have lost my family, I don't dare to go home, there is nothing left in my house now, Uncle Adif was killed, Sister Zenep was snatched by someone in dark brown clothes, and she has not come back yet-" The girl who survived the catastrophe was terrified, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was really pitiful.

"We need someone to help us cook, do the laundry, and clean up—" Tommy leaned over immediately, expectant in his voice.

"I can cook, I can do laundry, I can clean—" The girl seized the opportunity at once, but her voice was clearly empty: "-I-I can't learn--I'm a quick learner--Teacher Zade often compliments me-"

Oh, Zade, this word is not strictly a personal name, but is part of the names of certain special groups, like "von" in German names, "van" in Dutch names, and "de" in French names.

Zadeh, among the Ottomans, is a name suffix used only by families with prominent backgrounds.

A family that can afford to invite a member of a big family to be a teacher is probably quite prominent.

Tommy was right, Wilson's company really needed someone to help cook, wash and clean up, so when Wilson returned to the castle, he brought with him more than twenty girls who were ragged, unkempt, and had their faces smeared with the bottom of the pot.

During the war, women in both the East and the West were the same on this issue, and it was a routine operation to wipe the bottom of the pot on their faces, just as soldiers would play dead on the battlefield.

When a soldier pretends to be dead on the battlefield, he also smears blood on his face, for the same reason that a woman smears his face.

When the girls arrived, the castle was immediately filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Ruiz had a great headache, there were more than 100 people, and a company of more than 100 people, even if it was ordered by the expeditionary force headquarters, it was inevitable that there would be violations of law and discipline, and if this was really appointed, Ruiz would also be implicated.

But obviously these girls can't be sent out again, not to mention whether they will be ruined by the chaos after they go back, and I'm afraid that the Ottomans in the city will not let them go.

Just like Mr. Lu Xun said, the Ottoman men in Constantinople are very honest and docile in the face of the expeditionary force, and in the face of these girls, they will instantly turn into half-orcs.

Or orcs.

In fact, there were women in the castle, the military doctor Maria and the two nurses were women, and after hearing about the tragic plight of these girls, Maria and the two nurses from southern Africa suddenly became overflowing with motherhood, and they unanimously demanded that Ruiz take in and protect the girls, and resolutely not allow anyone to harm them.

Ruiz could only vacate the entire third floor of the castle and use it as a dormitory and living quarters for the girls.

For this reason, the soldiers lost their single-room treatment, two people in one room.

As a result, these big pig's trotters are all cheap bones, obviously their own interests are violated, not only are they not angry, but they also line up to the third floor every day to be courteous, and the reasons are very sufficient, either stomach ache or dizziness, and as a result, they go to the third floor and go to the girls' room without going to the doctor.

There are also people who pretend to sit on the suspended railing on the second floor and play the guitar and sing, not to mention that they can run to the Pacific Ocean out of tune, and they are not afraid of falling.

Ruiz could only strengthen the defenses, installing barbed wire between the second and third floors, which was so much more than enough to strengthen the defense outside the castle, and there were almost no mines.

In any case, these girls with a tragic fate settled in the castle.

Compared with the current Constantinople, life in the castle is dark, but it is simply paradise, not to mention the fruits and meat, and every once in a while, the transport ships will also send military supplies distributed by the headquarters and condolences donated by southern African enterprises.

There is nothing to say about the military supplies distributed, too much fat and canned luncheon meat and braised pork that have been tired of eating, with good texture and fine cutting but obviously fat, the girls wear the same military uniform as the sack, which is firm and reliable, sturdy and durable, but in order to breathe, the ventilation hole is opened near the sole of the shoe, and the military boots that will enter the water as soon as it rains, the only thing that surprised the girls is that the expeditionary force even distributed daily necessities such as toothpaste and toothbrush towels, Maria reported to her superiors, saying that there were more than 20 girls in the castle, when the transport ship came again, More than 20 servings of shampoo, soap, alabaster and other daily necessities that the girls could not do without were delivered.

One serving per person, one serving can last for half a year and a few months, and the shampoo is a big bottle.

Although the bottle is made of iron sheet, it is really full of sincerity.

An even bigger surprise was the condolences donated by southern African companies, which were varied, some of which were not available in Constantinople before the outbreak of the war, and the various stainless steel hairpins donated by Favart Steel were the most popular, but after the lipstick donated by Itno was delivered, the stainless steel hairpins fell out of favor immediately.

Itno was a bit restrained and didn't bring the crocodile pouch, or the girls would have to go crazy.
