"Actually... I still feel..." The man was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain something.
In fact, he is still attached to his comrades, and he actually feels that he is more suitable for the battlefield that is full of dangers.
Every time he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to hear the explosions and gunshots in his ears. Every time he dreamed, he dreamed of that young face rushing toward him.
"Be careful!" This was the last voice he heard. This voice made him sad for a long time every time he recalled it. If possible, he really wanted to use his own life to exchange for his friend.
life!
"No! You have already lost an arm on the battlefield, do you want to lose your life there too?" The woman obviously still doesn't care about the current economic situation. What she cares about is the safety of her husband. After all, this family
, at least it’s still a complete home!
You know, how many families have men who died on the battlefield, leaving orphans and widowers living alone. Although these families are living a good life, who wants their lover to exchange his life for such a good life?
There were dozens of widows in the ammunition factory where she worked. They were all assigned to safe jobs in the factory because their husbands died on the battlefield.
Many people don't even have a son left behind. This is war, a cruel war, which leaves the victors with endless pain, and leaves the losers with only despair and destruction.
"I know...but I heard Louis from the city hall say that if I am willing to go, our family can get another subsidy. When I come back in two years,..." The man looked down at his empty room.
Sleeve, said.
"Do you know how we lived in the two years you left? Have you forgotten that I was pregnant when you left, and your son was almost two years old when you came back!" The woman choked with sobs.
A plate of steaming vegetables was put on the table, and then he glanced at his son who was sitting there in a daze.
"You know, I hope you and your son live a better life." The man clumsily supported the family in his own way: "I don't want those children to think that their father is a waste."
The boy at the table suddenly turned around and looked at his father. It turned out that he had also heard the laughter of those children, and he also knew that his empty sleeves made him look so stupid.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your arms were lost on the battlefield for the country! How dare they..." The woman frowned. She knew the pain of her husband being one-armed. Of course she knew what the man had paid for this family.
"That's all in the past! It's in the past!" The man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I go, at least I can install a new arm for free!"
"Is anyone home?" At this time, a voice shouted loudly outside the door: "Excuse me, is Mr. Harold at home?"
While shouting, this voice knocked on the door. The woman glanced at the man, walked to the door, and opened the door.
Then, she saw a young man wearing a crisp military uniform, standing upright at the door of their house.
The man stood up, walked to the door, and immediately saw the soldier outside the door: "You came here to see me, what do you want?"
"Mr. Harold, Your Majesty is forming a new army, which requires veterans with rich combat experience... I am responsible for informing all veterans in this city that they can return to the battlefield if they wish." The young officer said simply.
Explained the purpose of coming.
Harold glanced at his wife, and then said: "I have fought for this country..."
"I know! I understand!" the young officer immediately continued: "However, we need soldiers with rich combat experience like you. With soldiers like you, we can reduce many unnecessary casualties."
As he spoke, he handed Harold a registration form for the conscription: "Think about it, each soldier gets 1,000 gold coins, and after passing the assessment, he can immediately get another 2,000 gold coins..."
"How come there are so many?" The woman was also shocked by this number. For them, 3,000 gold coins can almost buy another house like theirs.
"Not only that, because it is a special force, the military salary is three times that of infantry! The allowance is five times that of infantry, the pension is ten times, and the retirement bonus is ten times!" The young officer introduced the generous treatment, still with a smile on his face
With a smile.
"Why so much..." Harold couldn't believe that one day he would be so valuable.
"Read the introduction above and you will understand." After turning over the registration form, it turned out to be a recruitment poster.
On the poster was written a slogan that Harold couldn't believe: "We are His Majesty's soldiers, and we conquer the entire universe for His Majesty!"
Below this line of words, there are actually stars, sea, and a spaceship. In the lower right corner, there is a fully armed soldier, but this soldier is actually wearing a thicker and more exaggerated powered exoskeleton armor.
"The universe...you mean, the universe army?" Harold looked at the other party in disbelief and asked.
"That's right! Mr. Harold! We need soldiers from the Space Army!" The young officer said: "You will serve as the most powerful space infantry and participate in the expansion of the empire's territory!"
"My father is a man who can't tie his own buttons! What's the use of you looking for him!" At this time, the child who had been silent suddenly spoke, staring at the officer outside the door and asked.
"Who said your father couldn't even tie his own buttons?" The officer leaned down, looked at the child and said, "The Mr. Harold I know is a great man."
He gestured, as if describing a lot: "Did you know? Your father has so many medals! He was a very brave soldier who fought many battles for our country and defeated many powerful enemies!"
"Are you lying to me?" The little boy didn't believe what the officer said.
"Why do you ask that? If your father returns to the army, he may command a squad or a platoon! Moreover, a broken arm is not a difficult problem to cure now... He can install a prosthetic limb, which is very simple, and
Just like my own arm!" said the young officer.
"I'm going!" The man wanted to cry, but finally held back. He held it in for a long time and finally said this.
"Dear!" His wife was stunned, and then wanted to stop her husband from being impulsive.
However, her husband interrupted her: "No need to say anything! I'll go!"
