A Man of Few Words

 

 

In the summer of 1882 the Khedive (head boss) of Egypt, Mohammed Tewfik, became upset with the army of Egypt led by Colonel Arabi (I don't know why the Khedive did not have generals because Col. Arabi led the whole army). In fact he khedive decided to take care of the situation immediately and he put out General Order Number One which is quoted in its entirety below:

L'armee Egyptienne est dissoute'.

I would say that Tewfik got to the point right away.
