Most of the retirement life of these soldiers was not satisfactory. Although they were still far from suicide, according to Qin Shiou's observation, these people usually had at least occasionally thoughts of suicide.

From the crazy look of some people when drinking, they can tell that they have a tendency to self-destruct.

The soldiers were very noisy. After Dad Hickson prepared the food, he left his shop. Before leaving, he called Qin Shiou and said, "Listen, young man, help me see the house. I don't want to come back and find that my cute old nest was made into a pigpen by these guys. To be honest, if it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't receive these guys."

Qin Shiou hugged the old man and laughed and said, "I know my father is good to me, I'm in the Wushou Wu."

After hearing this, Dad Hickson laughed happily, patted his face and said, "Just know this, okay, continue playing with you young people. I hope those mixed balls will die of drunkenness in the bottle."

Qin Shiou didn't stay here for a long time. At 11 o'clock, the commemoration of the Invalides' Day officially began. Bird turned the sound of the TV in the restaurant to the maximum, and the group stood up and looked at the commemoration on the screen.

At this moment of the year, the capital of Canada, Ottawa, grand commemorations are held in front of the war memorial.

How grand were their commemorative activities? The British royal family had to send people to preside over the meeting. At that time, the Prime Minister, accompanied by the MPs, reviewed the troops in front of the war memorial. Of course, it was not a Chinese-style military parade, but this could already show their importance to the activities.

The ceremony began with the sound of cannon salutes, and representatives of elite troops appeared, but only infantry, navy, army and air force formed a guard of honor for inspection.

Qin Shiou looked at him and shook his head. Bird turned his head and asked, "Do you think this is not good?"

Official Qin said frankly: "Look back and let me show you the scenes during our country's military parade, and you can find the gap."

A brief review of the troops, followed by the people participating in the event singing the national anthem together, several fighter planes flew across Capitol Hill, the Scottish military band wore tartan skirts and blew the bagpipes, and countless small national flags were waving in people's hands. This is exactly the same as the domestic military parade.

Ferguson started and sang, "Hey, Flanders battlefield, red poppies are in full bloom. Our bloody land is now full of crosses..."

Others sang: "The skylark flaps wings and screams. The gunshots are rare. We used to be time and family affection in the world, and we suddenly drifted away from the world, and now we are in the battlefield for a long time. Our hands are already drooping."

"Brother, please pick up the torch and continue fighting to the end. If we turn our wishes, even if the flowers bloom all over the world, how can we rest in peace?"

"This poem became famous for a while, which made some people start to use poppy flowers to commemorate the late soldiers, which is also the reason why poppy flowers later became the symbol of commemorating fallen soldiers..."

There was nothing happened to Qin Shiou next. He left quietly and placed the poppy flowers he had worn before on the table at the door. This is a tradition. After the event, people will present the poppy flowers at the event site.

In the afternoon, Bird and his friends returned to the fishing ground to work. Qin Shiou said, "You don't have to be so anxious. I'll give you a day off. You can have a good chat with your comrades."

Nelson smiled bitterly and said, "What's there to talk about? We have to work hard and make money well. I've been killed very miserably now."

Qin Shiou frowned and said, "What do you mean? Are you gambling?"

Nelson shook his head and said, "No, it's not gambling, it's giving money to live."

Bird explained to Qin Shiou that the money for survival was an agreement between some of their comrades-in-arms, and they went to the front line together. At that time, he agreed that if anyone survived, he would help the families of the dead or disabled people as much as possible.

Both of them, Matt and others were comrades-in-arms. Matt did not find a job after retirement. He did not have a social security deposit, so he almost relied on these people to support him.

Qin Shiou asked, "Then how much do you need to pay?"

Bird said: "There is no rule for this, I gave it 60,000."

Nelson shrugged and said, "Me too, 60,000 yuan, half a year's bonus is not too much, right?"

Heidao and others said they should be less. Each of them only took out 25,000 yuan because there were twelve mercenaries in their mercenary team at that time, only one of them died in battle and one of them was injured, and ten people were under less pressure.

Qin Shiou was quite surprised and said, "Wow, this is not a small amount of money. Each of you is 25,000? Those ten people are 250,000?"

Hei Dao said, "How could it be? We make a lot of money and give a lot of money. Some brothers don't even care about it themselves, so they don't have to pay."

Qin Shiou asked, "Then do you have to be responsible for this part of the money? When will you take care of them?"

The seven were all calm, and Bird said indifferently: "They died or we died."

Qin Shiou couldn't understand, Bird and others understood this, and they laughed and said, "This is the agreement at that time, Boss, don't look at the bastards saying they would rather die on the battlefield. In fact, it's just that they are talking nonsense and throwing them on the battlefield again. They must have wanted to survive more than anyone else."

"If we survive, we have to fulfill our promises to the dead. We cannot cheat the dead of money, so that we will despise ourselves." The angry bag smiled.

"Of course, if we didn't follow you to eat meat, and if we couldn't eat bread ourselves, we would definitely not do this. At that time, we would have to rely on others to help us." Hei Dao added.

Qin Shiou suddenly realized that in fact, there could be said that there was an intangible insurance among these people. Whoever did the best would maintain this insurance, ensuring that the brothers at that time could at least live after retirement.

This is something he cannot understand, with different cultures and different experiences.

The soldiers continued to be in charge of security, while Bird and Nelson continued to teach the newcomers about working at sea.

Qin Shiou was still strange and asked Bird: "Then you have so many comrades in your army. Have you ever thought about finding a position for them? You see, the fishing ground is recruiting, and many of them don't have suitable jobs, right?"

Bird said calmly: "Of course I think if the fishing ground is mine, I will let them work, but this is not mine. I can't cheat you, Boss, those guys are not the materials for work, they are different from the Black Knife, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to find a job that can survive."

Qin Shiou laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "Then I really read you right, my buddy."

The Day of Invalides ended like this. The only trace it left was the stubborn and upright steel poppy flower by the sea. Later, the black knife and Bird were painted with red paint, which was lifelike. To be continued.
