"Boll! This is your letter of recommendation! Within thirty days, you will report to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Congratulations!" A man wearing an Air Force officer's uniform stood in front of the neat crowd and shouted loudly.
Hearing his shout, the pilot whose name was called walked to the front of the crowd, received his letter of recommendation amidst applause, stood at attention with his chin high, saluted and responded: "Thank you, sir!"
"Jack!" the colonel officer continued to loudly click a new name: "This is your transfer order! You have been transferred to the 11th Bomb Group of the Northwest Aviation Group of the Air Force as the captain! Congratulations."
"Yes! Sir!" A pilot wearing a leather jacket still had a medal on his chest hanging from a mission. He walked quickly to his captain, stood at attention and saluted, took the document, and turned around crisply.
Returned to his team.
There was a sad atmosphere in the air. The pilots, who usually seemed very strong, stood there with red eyes, and even faint sounds of sobbing could be heard.
In the past, the captain who always told everyone to be strong and behave like a man did not scold the crying subordinates at this moment. He just calmly picked up another document.
After taking a look at the name above, he raised his head and said, "Nick, you can be demobilized. You are a brave shooter and I am proud of you."
"Sir...thank you..." The bomber's top turret cannon shooter named Nick came forward, took the demobilization document from the hands of his captain, and stood at attention and saluted.
As he walked back, the captain continued to pick up a new document, the format of which was exactly the same as the previous one: "Hunter, this is your demobilization document... You are the best tail gunner I have ever seen!
"
"Thank you, sir." The man named Hunter was slightly bald. Wearing a one-piece Air Force uniform, he walked up to his commander and stood at attention solemnly and saluted.
"Hull...this is your demobilization document...may God bless you!" the officer continued to shout.
"Sir! I haven't fought a war yet! I don't want to..." The young man was unwilling to stretch out his hand to take the hot demobilization document.
"My child, believe me! You are the luckiest thing in your life not to have experienced war! Go home! You will be recommended to a local university to continue your studies, and you will have a decent job after you come out, so you can live a good life!"
The chief thrust the demobilization document into the other person's hand and patted his arm: "Go!"
"Thank you... sir!" The young machine gunner stood at attention and saluted, suppressing his sobs, and shouted loudly: "Thank you!"
"Shuman! This is your letter of recommendation! You must report to the G72 Air Force Base in Alan within fifteen days. They are in a hurry to hire people, so your leave has been cancelled!" The captain continued to hold his hand.
The document was handed to the subordinate who came forward after hearing the name.
Obviously, the expressions of the subordinates who received the recommendation letters were happier. Although they can no longer serve in the old army they are familiar with, it is definitely a happy thing to be able to continue serving in the army.
The entire Ireland Empire is now undergoing disarmament, large-scale disarmament. Not only the ground forces, but also a large number of personnel in the navy and air force have been demobilized and retired.
Although the Space Army is massively expanding its forces, overall, the number of troops in the Airanhill Empire is still decreasing.
Within a month, the total strength of the Airanhill Empire dropped by 700,000 people. These 700,000 people are actually demobilized personnel who have gone home. They will bring a heavy burden to this society. Of course, they can also
Brings great vitality.
Ever since the day it was born, the Eilanhir Empire has been in a state of war mobilization, with not even one tenth of its days of peace.
Before, he had to face the oppression of the Magic Empire, then he had to participate in a world war, and then he had to fight against the invasion of the demons almost by himself.
After driving away the demons, the counterattack against the demon world kicked off its external expansion. Therefore, for the Elanhill Empire, war has always been the main theme, and the people also hope that the war will end as soon as possible.
Being able to send 700,000 serving soldiers home in one go is already a very remarkable thing.
What is even more exciting is that from the perspective of accelerated development in the future, the soldiers laid off by the Airanhill Empire are all relatively young soldiers.
After these soldiers are disbanded, they do not need social resettlement. They will be dispersed and transferred to universities or junior colleges in their hometowns to participate in studies. After learning a skill, they will then enter the society to participate in work!
In this way, on the one hand, it can reduce the pressure on society from demobilized soldiers, and on the other hand, it can also reserve some technical talents for easy use during future expansion.
Everyone who has received a demobilization document or a letter of recommendation can leave immediately, so there are fewer and fewer soldiers in the entire hangar. The captain looked at the fewer and fewer subordinates in front of him, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Billy!" He shouted a new name loudly, and then handed the demobilization document in his hand to the other party: "Study hard when you go home! You are still young! You are the smartest young man I have ever seen! Come on!
!”
"Thank you... thank you! Sir!" The young gunner named Billy stood at attention and saluted, shouting with choked sobs.
Most of the Air Force units that were abolished were civilian positions. There were also gunners on the B-17 bombers.
There are many gunners on each bomber. These gunners did not undergo much rigorous training when they were recruited, and most of them were quick replacements.
However, they were added to the army when the Elanshir Empire needed soldiers the most, and they contributed to the world war, including the subsequent war against demons.
But they haven't gone through too much rigorous training, so there's no way they can be directly transferred to the Space Force to continue serving.
Therefore, these soldiers who did not need to be retained were all demobilized directly. The quality of the supplementary soldiers received by the Air Force when recruiting soldiers was relatively high, so the treatment after demobilization was also better.
As for the precious ground crews and pilots...these are absolutely unwilling to be laid off. The Air Force is trying every means to retain these elites and place them in more suitable positions.
"Kraul!" Looking at the last remaining pilot, the captain's voice was no longer high-pitched: "This is your recommendation letter. You are the best pilot in our bomber group. I recommended you to Qi
Lord Lark..."
"Thank you...sir..." The last pilot took his letter of recommendation, stood at attention and saluted, and then looked at the B-17 bomber parked not far away, his eyes full of reluctance.
