German Eagle: Steel and Magic

Chapter 26 Birthday Cake
"It's really relaxing."

At this time, Karl looked out the window with his cheeks on his hands. On the playground outside the classroom was the last project before the graduation of the second grade - front-line internship.

This is not an independent company. In fact, all non-commissioned officer schools in the German Empire have such regulations. In the last two months before graduation from the second grade, they will go to the border of the eastern defense zone or the western defense zone for internship.

This was the first time they entered the frontline troops as students, and of course, it was also the last time.

After the internship period, return to your alma mater, meet the final graduation, and then enter various troops according to your own classification. This kind of internship has a nice name-graduation trip.

Many freshmen in the first grade will see their seniors off, and the scene will be very lively. The second graders will also say goodbye to their juniors with a smile, and walk out of the school in a row. The motorcade has already stopped in a row.

They would go to the railway station first, and then take the train to the front lines of the German Empire and the Frankish Republic.

After Frank's final behavior, the trade and non-governmental exchanges between the two countries seem to have recovered somewhat, but the private seizure and the previous more or less friction, the war is not so far away.

Then there is the blockhouse on the border. Both sides have frantically increased the number of troops going to the border during this period. On the surface, they are talking about "investigating missing women" and "inspecting smuggling". There are many.

Could it be that for a few packs of cigarettes from another country, the girl who had agreed to elope with whom, just transferred a few divisions, an army of more than [-]?Moreover, machine guns were set up on the border early, and howitzers were on standby at any time.

These reasons are too careless. The leaders of these countries seem to have some strange ideas. They like to bully what they think is a soft persimmon when they can develop peacefully.

At this time, the seniors and sisters had already boarded the car, and after the farewell ceremony, they returned to the previous calm.

Carl sat down and began to sort out his notes. The cultural courses in the autumn semester are almost done, and some things need to be further improved, such as Frankish.I have been cursing the gods in the church before, cross-swearing in German and Frankish, and there have been some significant improvements.

The weather is getting a bit cold now. Everyone at the Parisino Sergeant Academy has changed into winter clothes, and little Carl put on his own customized version.

Make notes, go to the cafeteria for lunch, and then organize your clothes for training in the afternoon.They are physical training and shooting training respectively.

There are mainly two types of physical training. The first is to run three kilometers with full weight, which is far lower than Carl's training volume, so it is easy.

Then there is obstacle course, including climbing over walls, single-plank bridges, crawling and rock climbing.This kind of training will be relatively strenuous, a large part of which is due to the training over the wall.

Carl's height is still less than 1.3 meters. Others can easily grab the top of the wall. Carl's strength is not enough. He still needs to run up and step on the wall with two more feet.

In this way, his movements were not standard or coordinated. Fortunately, the instructor understood his pain and didn't say anything.The child has worked so hard, does he care if he goes butt first or head first?

After more than two hours of training, the trainees of the aviation mage training class dragged their tired bodies to the shooting range. They were going to conduct shooting training, using Mauser 3 bolt-action rifles.

There is one thing to say, Karl still has a part of shooting talent, shooting a target 100 meters away, 36 rounds Karl can hit [-] ​​rounds.This is a new project in the next semester, and this result is already quite good.

Because many students' hands were shaking when they shot guns, most of them didn't hit more than 30 rounds.

The day's training ended quickly, and Carl went against the flow of people to the church.

This made other students who wanted to go back to the dormitory to sleep feel more and more that Karl is a devout believer, because the frequency of going to church has become more and more recently, and many people think that maybe when he goes to the battlefield in the future, Karl will become a Chaplain.

But Karl himself is still very clear about his purpose, that is, he is too tired, too tired, too tired, but there is no entertainment, so of course he wants to scold and relax.

When it was time for dinner, Karl went to the cafeteria relaxed.

"Ok?"

All the familiar faces were students of the aviation mage training class, and they all looked at Carl. Carl was at a loss, and was pushed to the table by everyone.

It was a big cake, and the chocolate font on it was still very clear, "Happy Birthday Carl!".

Carl was shocked and moved.But he found a very serious question, shouldn't he be moved to cry at this time?But I can't squeeze my tears, what should I do?
"Thank you everyone, even I forgot, today is my birthday... Really, really thank you, everyone remembers my birthday..."

Carl started to choke up as he spoke, and his big eyes became tearful. The students came over and patted Carl.

They all knew Karl's difficulties, and knew that this strong little genius had become taciturn due to family reasons, but they were still very moved to see this child crying.

However, Karl just grabbed the flesh of the other hand, then frantically imagined the sad things, and forced out three tears.

The students sang the birthday song together, applauded and waited for the little birthday boy to blow out the candles, and then cut the cake to share.

The cake was ordered by Martilda a week ago. To be honest, Karl was very touched, but it was better to forget about the marriage.The jam of the cake was a bit salty, and there was a lot of cream. Carl ate a small piece as a token.

"Don't you like it?"

At this moment, Maltida looked at Carl expectantly, but he just ate a small piece and didn't move again, which made her a little disappointed.

"No, I really like it. It's just that my stomach is not very good recently. If I eat too much, I may feel uncomfortable."

Carl quickly made up a reason, coupled with a slightly regretful expression on his face, which convinced Maltida to believe his statement.

"Well, that's good." Marthida smiled sweetly, then cut off a small piece of her own cake, and brought it to Karl's mouth.

etc!It's not developing right? !

The school belle cut off a small piece of her own cake and delivered it to a boy's mouth! ?Isn't this development right? !

The eyes of all the students were attracted, but suddenly a little red light flashed in the crowd!It's Gustaliv's eyes!You can't hide the eyes that want to kill someone!

But the cake had already been brought to his mouth, and if he didn't eat it, Maltida's face would be embarrassing, so he had to eat the cake under Gustaliv's slightly angry eyes.

Martina showed a slight smile. In fact, she originally wanted to do it by herself. She thought that what she did should not be too bad, and she would be more considerate.

However, the cafeteria of the Parisino Non-commissioned Officer Academy has clear regulations that students are not allowed to use the cafeteria facilities to make things without permission. This is to prevent any subsequent dietary problems, which will be difficult to deal with.

So Maltida had to go to a bakery in Heidelberg and order one, which they would deliver today.

Carl thinks this girl is very cute, or rather... kind, such a good girl will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future, but it's a pity that she came to serve as a soldier.
