Liu Handong was not particularly surprised, because these are what Qin Xianyang deserves. If he had a choice, no one would want a grand funeral and generous pension. The old man lost his son, and the child lost his father. These life-long pains are unbearable.
No amount of honors can make up for it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Handong stood up to leave, thought for a while and then said: "When I was in Iraq, His Highness Amir once promoted me to Army Brigadier General. I think this is just a temporary military rank..."
"No." Emil said seriously, "Amir is the crown prince of Colin, and his words are law. You are already Brigadier General of Colin's army. I will arrange the specific positions. Now please wait a moment."
With that said, the emir rang the bell to call the guards in and said a few words. After a while, a set of elegant army general uniforms and a medal were delivered. The medal was sparkling with red gems inlaid on it. It should be made of pure gold.
.
"This is the medal I awarded you, the royal medal, to commend you for your great contributions to the Emirate of Colin." The emir picked up the medal and pinned it on Liu Handong's chest.
"Your Majesty, I can accept the medal, but I cannot accept Colin's military rank because I am a Chinese and have no intention of changing my nationality." Liu Handong said seriously.
His Majesty Said chuckled: "Of course, I know that you are an agent of the Chinese government, but this does not prevent you from being Colin's general. I will not force you to naturalize, and I will even allow you to retain your religious beliefs. In this way,
Okay."
"I will consider it, Your Majesty." Liu Handong said, "Besides, I am not an agent of the Chinese government, although I look like it."
"No need to explain." Said waved his hand, "I understand, you can leave."
Liu Handong left without being humble and did not go to get the military uniform. There was a desert-colored Hummer military vehicle parked at the entrance of the palace. The license plate was very special, with a green logo printed on the whiteboard, and a crossed Arabian scimitar guarding the crown. This was an army brigadier general.
's logo.
A sergeant stood next to the Hummer. When he saw Liu Handong coming out, he immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Your Excellency, General." He opened the car door smoothly.
Li Handong got out of the car with a straight face, and the Hummer drove to the gate of the palace without any intention of stopping.
"Sergeant, stop the car." Liu Handong said.
The Humvee stopped, and the sergeant reported: "General, I am your orderly Sergeant Hassan. This vehicle is your special vehicle. You can use it at any time and anywhere."
"Sergeant, please go back." Liu Handong got out of the car, got into his Toyota Camry, and walked away quickly.
…
Colin's government got involved in the preparations for the funeral, and the scheduled date was postponed for a few days. During the period, the royal family held an awards ceremony to award medals and bonuses to soldiers who had made meritorious service in the counter-insurgency battle, and to promote military ranks uniformly. Liu Handong did not attend, Huo Lei and Xiao Cui
They didn't participate either, not because Qin Yingyang advised them not to go, but because they weren't in the mood.
Finally, the day of Qin Xianyang's funeral arrived. A group of black limousines drove downstairs of the office. Liu Handong and others accompanied Qin's mother and the little boy downstairs. A Rolls-Royce extended-edition limousine opened the door, dressed in pure white.
The royal attendants in Arabian robes bent down and invited them to board the carriage.
Qin's mother had never seen such a battle before and was a little at a loss. Liu Handong said: "Auntie, get in the car and see Xianyang off for the last time."
A group of people got into the car and drove onto the street, stopping for a while to wait for the funeral convoy.
The funeral convoy came from the direction of the Grand Mosque. At the head was a group of Arab cavalry, wearing turbans, scimitars, riding boots, and purebred black Arabian black horses with four hooves treading on the snow. They were extremely handsome, followed closely by a military band, walking forward
, playing "Friendship Day"
"Forever", the last one was the artillery cart pulling the coffin, and four snow-white horses pulled Qin Xianyang's coffin forward in small steps. The street was closed to traffic, and people were standing on both sides of the road. The locals followed the government's requirements
Wearing a white robe.
When Qin's mother saw this scene while sitting in the car, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "This is the whole city paying tribute to my son."
The motorcade followed the funeral procession and advanced slowly, crossing the urban area of Takikati and arriving at the newly built Martyrs Cemetery on the outskirts. This cemetery was built by the government in a very short time. It is all made of white marble, Islamic style, elegant and solemn.
The scenery is beautiful.
A memorial shed was set up here, and after everyone was in place, the emir and the royal family members also arrived to award medals to the families of the martyrs.
Qin's mother was a little at a loss: "What kind of leader is this?"
Liu Handong said: "He is the emperor of this country."
Qin's mother was frightened: "Your Majesty, why don't you give him three bows and nine kowtows?"
Liu Handong said: "No, just say whatever you need to say, don't panic, I'm right next to you."
His Majesty Said was wearing a pure white robe and was elegant. He first delivered a sincere and touching speech, describing everyone's bravery and fearlessness in the process of countering the rebellion. Liu Handong was listening when suddenly Sergeant Hassan appeared, holding a set of
Regarding clothes, asked Liu Handong if he wanted to change.
Liu Handong took a closer look and saw that it turned out to be a sergeant uniform of the People's Liberation Army of China. He was moved and nodded: "Okay."
After finding a RV, Liu Handong put on a brand-new military uniform, straightened out his military appearance in the mirror, and thought of countless past events. He finally sighed, opened the door and got out of the car. When he saw Cui Zhenghao getting out of the car opposite, Xiao Cui also changed his clothes.
Wearing the uniform of a captain of the Korean People's Army, the two smiled at each other without saying a word.
Qin Xianyang's funeral was mainly a ceremony. He would not be buried in a foreign country. This was just a burial mound. His body would be cremated and sent back to China for burial. For this reason, Colin also urgently imported an incinerator.
His Majesty the King has awarded Colin the highest honor, the Medal of Heroes, to Qin's mother. The burial ceremony began. Six soldiers hung the coffin with leather straps and put it into the grave. A group of army soldiers raised their guns and fired blank bullets into the air.
Pull the bolt, shoot again, and repeat, the sound of gunshots is continuous, echoing over the cemetery, over Colin, and over the Arabian Peninsula.
Liu Handong, Cui Zhenghao, and Huo Lei, who were wearing civilian clothes and wearing medals, solemnly raised their hands in salute. One person joined them, the attaché of the embassy, Qin Yingyang, who was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel of the Chinese Army.
Members of the royal family, military representatives, and people from all walks of life in the Colin Emirate laid down white bouquets in front of the tomb to express their condolences. The funeral was extremely sad and honorable. Although the martyr status that Qin's mother hoped for did not come true, the emir gave her more.
His Majesty Said
He said: "I know that these things I have done cannot alleviate your sadness even one tenth of the time. I just hope you know that your son has made great contributions to this country. He saved the royal family and the people in distress."
,We will always remember him.”
After the funeral, the coffin contained Qin Xianyang's used clothes, as well as replicas of his medals and Colin's military uniform with colonel's epaulettes. The body was sent to the incinerator and burned into ashes with diesel fuel.
Qin Xianyang's urn was provided by the Colin royal family. Since they had no experience, they had to find photo reference from the Internet and built an exquisite and luxurious box with rosewood and one kilogram of gold.
Colin's government was busy dealing with various affairs after the rebellion, purging the princely forces in the army and police, appointing new officials, repairing the palace, amending the constitution, establishing a parliament, and electing members, all in accordance with Said's grand politics.
To implement the reform blueprint, of course, the domestic conservative forces represented by the Grand Prince will definitely not give up. The two sides will still fight for several rounds, so things are complicated and economic development cannot be taken care of for the time being. The office currently has no business. Liu Handong decided to personally send the instructor
The ashes go home.
On the day of their return, they saw a bronze statue of Qin Xianyang at the entrance of the airport waiting hall. The life-size bronze statue held a rifle in one hand and waved it with the other, as if commanding thousands of troops to charge. Qin's mother couldn't help but cry again.
One game.
This trip back to China was different. Instead of taking a civil aviation flight, we took a Colin Air Bombardier business jet provided by the Emir for free. Xiao Cui and Huo Lei traveled together. Both of them obtained passports from the Emirate of Colin. They were genuine.
A genuine passport that can withstand any customs inspection.
Qin Xianyang's urn was placed on an airline seat and was counted as one of the passengers. Qin's mother held a gilded parchment roll tied with a ribbon and a blue gold-inlaid velvet box. These were
The hero's certificate and medal issued by the king, according to Corinthian law, a person who receives the hero's medal will also receive a reward of 25 million Corinthian dinars, which is five million US dollars, and the pension of an army colonel is another
One million U.S. dollars, totaling up to six million U.S. dollars, thirty-six million yuan.
The special plane flew directly to China and finally landed at Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport. The local Zhongyanhuang branch sent personnel to greet them. They walked through the VIP channel. When they came out, they saw a group of people waiting. Among them was a graceful young woman wearing a rust-red dress.
skirt, chatting and laughing with the people next to me.
Seeing Mother Qin and others coming out, the group immediately stopped joking and put on serious expressions. The young woman even bent down and shouted: "Baby, mommy is here."
The little boy did not dare to step forward and grabbed his grandma's clothes tightly. Mother Qin's expression also became stiff.
After all, Qin Xianyang is not divorced yet. Legally speaking, this woman is still his wife, and she should have a share of the pension. However, I feel very unhappy. If I give this money to her, I might as well give it to a dog.
Liu Handong didn't rub the sand in his eyes, and he didn't have the restraint to make excuses with them. With a glance, Huo Lei stepped forward to block the car, blocking the family members like an iron tower. Everyone here went directly to Zhong Yanhuang's car.
My mother-in-law's family didn't agree. They pulled back and forth, cursed, and showed their true colors.
"His grandma, don't think I don't know. Qin Xianyang's pension is several million. You want to send us 200,000, but we don't even have the door. The loan for the house, the car, and the famine outside. 200,000
It’s not enough at all, don’t leave, don’t leave!” A middle-aged and elderly woman who looked like her biological mother jumped on her feet and yelled.
The men were also clamoring, but in the face of Huo Lei who was gearing up, they did not dare to take action.
Liu Handong held the urn and accompanied Qin's mother into the car. The driver was from Zhongyanhuang and said angrily: "A family that has lost its conscience, isn't there any justice in this world?"
"Today I will administer justice." Liu Handong said.
