The British Army is a traditional army, and some of the traditions that seem incredible to us today have been preserved for hundreds of years, such as the British Army's tradition of drinking black tea without moving, such as the Royal Navy's holy rum. These two drinks, which they had kept for hundreds of years, had become symbols of the British soldiers and had been passed on to the disciples of the colonies.
The earliest traditional drink of the British army was beer, which was the oldest drink of the British soldiers, and the British knights and longbowmen in the Middle Ages could drink the beer paid by the king. After Cromwell ruled England with the Puritans, all entertainment was banned, but beer was not included, because drinking beer and chatting was also one of the few entertainment activities of the Puritans. However, after the 18th century, tea began to take the British by storm, and black tea replaced beer as the traditional drink of the modern British Army and had a sacred position in the military.
The officers composed of British gentlemen also hoped that the soldiers would drink black tea, and the black tea should be boiled to eliminate the possibility of soldiers getting sick by drinking raw water, and there were not many soldiers who drank black tea, so the British army formed a tradition of drinking black tea without moving. In the second half of the 19th century, the British stole tea tree seeds from China, and planted them in India so that India became the world's first tea producing country instead of China, and after the tea became cheap, the British government simply took black tea as a military munition and distributed it to every soldier for free.
Black tea accompanied the British soldiers on expeditions to five continents, according to the British's own calculations, they have attacked nearly 90% of the world's countries in modern times, and many of these 90% of the countries are attacked by the British Army drinking black tea. The British stole tea from China, and the British soldiers who drank black tea and the Indian soldiers who grew Assam black tea were very aggressive in attacking China in modern times.
In the era of queuing for shooting, the British Army can also rely on strict military discipline to drink black tea while hanging the world. During the First and Second World Wars when Britain lost its technological superiority, the British Army was not so dashing, the British Army was often attacked by the superior fire of the enemy when cooking tea, and the German ace captain Wittmann took advantage of the British Army's tea drinking tea to play a super god record. On the Korean battlefield, the British Army, which could not move to drink tea, was beaten by the volunteer army in the hometown of tea, which was regarded as paying off the debt to its ancestors. The tradition of black tea drinking by the British army was passed down to indians, and Indian Air Force pilots admired the tea art of neighboring Pakistan.
The British Army drank black tea and was able to wait for tea without moving in the sky of enemy fire. The Royal Navy's style was to drink rum and immediately transform into a mad dog in naval warfare, chasing the enemy and firing. The Royal Navy liked rum because it was stronger than beer and cheaper than other spirits such as brandy, and it was also the British Navy's traditional means of preserving fresh water, and soldiers could not drink it.
In the age of wind sailing, the British Royal Navy's shooting accuracy was not as good as that of its French counterparts for a long time, but the courage of the British Royal Navy exceeded that of the French, and rum played a great role.
At that time, the British Royal Navy was an expert in catching Zhuang Ding, and British sailors would be caught on the ship by them while drinking a little wine and blowing cattle in the bar, and the Royal Navy even arrested Zhuang Ding in the crew of the pirate captain Kidd, and even directly arrested the patients in the mental hospital. After the old Sailors of England were forcibly recruited, their salaries were greatly reduced, they could not communicate with their families for many years, they ate maggot bread and salted meat that could smash people, and the tools that British naval officers could maintain morale were free rum and leather whips. Stimulated by alcohol and leather whips, royal navy soldiers are 7 times more likely to have an incidence of mental illness than the average person. This group of guys drank too much rum like mad dogs at sea, daring to force themselves to the closest enemy to fire.
It wasn't until the 1970s that the Royal Navy abolished free rum. But black tea was still a necessity for the British army, and tea bags were still retained in the British rations. The British Army also retained the tradition of drinking black tea, and the Royal Navy also had to drink black tea with the Army, which was not in short supply for the British Army in the South China Sea. I really hope that our navy will entertain the British in a Pakistani way, what do you say?
