Chapter 554
Returning Home
Perhaps General Via did not want the people below to be disappointed, so Situ Zhengnan had just contacted him and immediately expressed his willingness to redeem the prisoners with generous conditions.
Five hundred and thirty-seven people stayed at the Tianzhu Base to do work for Lin Xisuo, and the remaining 481 people set off on the cargo ship and transported it to Gruxing like cargo.
Gru Star has its own system and is very close to Marce Star. It is most suitable to trade here. However, these prisoners did not expect to return to General Via's arms in more than 20 days. Some officers were very sorry. The fat man from the enemy tried his best to torture them. Everyone said everything they could, but they almost didn't reserve.
General Via is now in a state of great difficulty. The reason why he did not fight to the end on the battlefield was entirely because the losses exceeded the bottom line and he had to retain some of his strength to restrict another small warlord.
At present, the Kerran star field has changed from a three-legged tripod to an east-west confrontation. It can be said that the situation is very delicate. There are those forces behind it and cannot enter the era of war. General Via must control the scale of the battle to avoid angering those forces that set the rules.
A few days ago, after Via led the fleet back to his nest, the things that the Tianzhu fleet did in the Caesar Empire had been investigated clearly. He sent an envoy to contact the Xiong family. If he could use the Nutao fleet to eliminate Tianzhu, although he could not get the interstellar cruise ships back, it would be good to breathe.
"Thank you for your hard work, welcome the return of the heroic warriors. On behalf of the general, I would like to express my condolences to everyone." Via's chief of staff was responsible for welcoming the prisoners, and the handover site was designated as a small island on Gruxing.
The cargo hold door slowly opened, and the dazzling sunlight shone in. The face of the chief of staff outside the ship was magnified hundreds of times with virtual processing. Four hundred and eighty prisoners stood up, and they greedily breathed fresh air. The experience of more than twenty days seemed like a nightmare.
"Brothers, please return to the team according to the number. There will be someone to do a physical examination for you. This is Article 390 of the Safety Regulations. I believe everyone can understand the difficulties. This Chief of Staff promises that you will not be treated unfairly when you go back, and I hope you will understand." The Chief of Staff said everything to this point. There were several rows of mecha soldiers standing outside the cargo ship. Everyone did not complain or dared not complain. They were inspected and inquired in accordance with the Safety Regulations.
West walked out of the cargo hold with the help of two soldiers, and the sun shone on his pale face, so many people nearby heard violent coughing. It seemed that the proud captain of the First Mobile Team was in a bad state.
Four hundred and eighty-one prisoners were divided into twelve teams to board the transport spacecraft. Gruxing was able to provide a small island with great face, so don't expect them to borrow local troops.
The Gru people have grasped the situation in the Kerland star field. Another purpose of Situ Zhengnan came to Gru Star this time was to establish diplomatic relations with Gru Star. Some local original products are very good and can facilitate the construction of Marce Star.
Thirteen military transport spacecraft quickly left Gru Star, and no one noticed that a shadow of a ship flashed like a meteor in a distant place. The starry sky was still the starry sky, just because people's moods became different.
"Captain West, we want to check you." The middle-aged medical officer looked at the combat hero solemnly. The others were in a stable condition. As for the psychological damage they suffered, they had to treat a little bit, but there were also several seriously injured numbers that were very troublesome, and the captain of the First Mobile Team was one of them.
"Okay, are you Medical Officer Ma Wenyuan? Is it your body to you, don't worry." West said as he breathed heavily, his face turned paler, and his body fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"Quick, carry out rescue." The middle-aged medical officer hurriedly ordered his nurses, and it took him several hours to pull West back from the brink of life and death.
Due to West's condition, he was unable to accept inquiries. The Chief of Staff transferred out the resume of the captain of the Mobile Brigade. After reading it, he immediately ordered the medical officer to rescue him with all his might, because this guy was a sniper genius and had made great contributions to General Via.
Thirteen transport spacecraft arrived at a military base seven days later, and 481 prisoners were temporarily arranged to the single dormitory area. These people had to go through many tests if they wanted to return to the army. Even if they did not want to return to their original combat units, it would not be easy to leave the base.
After five days of suffering, West finally recovered and could at least open his eyes and speak and eat some liquid food.
"Officer Ma, is this West really not good? He is a talent." The Chief of Staff was using internal information channels to talk to Ma Wenyuan. From the gloomy face of the Chief of Staff, he could see that he was in a bad mood and was very bad.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I guarantee it with twenty-eight years of experience in practicing medicine. West is useless. He has suffered a huge blow in both physiological and psychological state, so I suggest transferring him to the logistics department to do some work within his ability!" Ma Wenyuan did not feel uncomfortable because of the Chief of Staff's tone. After all, the two were talking about the future of an excellent soldier, but the war was cruel, and injuries and sacrifices could not be avoided.
"Okay! List West's files separately. If this kid's subordinates hadn't been making trouble recently, I wouldn't have asked about this matter more. It seems that the logistics department is not short of people." The Chief of Staff closed the light screen and thought about it.
The General Staff hoped that he would go to General Via's third base to be a quarrestrial officer. He would be in charge of the entire third base. It was a good place to go, receive a generous reward, and find a beautiful wife at a nearby planet, so that his life would be at least guaranteed.
In fact, this was the Chief of Staff who was buying the hearts of the First Mobile Team. After West's partner Lao Jiu woke up, he clamored to see the captain. After such a restless guy, there were many people there, so when West opened his eyes, he received the order from the above.
"Report to the Chief of Staff, I want to go back to my hometown to see it. This kind of physical condition is really..." West seemed very excited and coughed, "I think it's hard for me to adapt to high-intensity combat. Instead of watching my former comrades wear mechas to show off their power, it's better not to be upset, return to their roots and do some simple work."
The chief of staff saw loneliness, how helpless the soldiers' loneliness was? West was a natural sniper, but his health was indeed very bad.
West's life emblem is maintained at very low standards. If there is no advanced drug to stimulate cell activity, it is no different from disability and its life span will not exceed twenty years.
The Chief of Staff changed his mind. Instead of raising such a useless man, it would be better to let him be relieved of the army. He could only pay a pension. In this way, he could free up a place and arrange his own people to Base No. 3.
"West, have you really decided to retire from the army? Although I will pay generous pensions, it is not easy to find such a decent job as a quartermaster in your situation. As long as General Via does not fall for a day, you will have a meal for a day. What can you do when you return home? Should you squander the pensions in a tavern? Or to look for the prestige of the past on a woman's belly? I hope you think carefully and don't be reckless." The Chief of Staff was quite conscientious and felt that letting West ignore it, this kid would be completely depressed. It would be better to be able to help you, so he comforted him earnestly.
"Thank you, Chief of Staff, struggles on the brink of life and death these days, allowing me to see many scenes of the past. I chose to go back and face my fellow villagers. My pride has gone away. I will go crazy when I continue to stay in the army." West almost cried and accused the injustice of fate. His words were as strong as iron and could not be refuted and persuaded by others.
"You, you idiot, I don't care what you are thinking. Go back to the First Mobile Team to meet your members first. If you still want to retire, I won't stop you." The Chief of Staff walked away angrily, feeling that West was really stubborn.
Soldiers are a combination of contradictions. Their hearts are actually very fragile and they need a support point to maintain pride. However, once this support point is broken, they will lose themselves. Especially people like West, it is equivalent to falling from the clouds into the abyss. If it were any, you might not be able to accept it.
West had been bumping on the transport spacecraft for two days and finally saw his familiar teammate, but the captain looked a little dull, and Lao Jiu rushed over like crazy.
"Captain, I am incompetent, and I have caused you so much." Lao Jiu was very sad. Everyone already knew the specific situation.
West took out a mycelium smoke and sucked it hard, then hugged Lao Jiu and whispered. The person next to him didn't know what the captain was saying, because the sound was not real.
After a long time, Lao Jiu raised his head and shouted: "No, captain, I don't care about this captain. I'll go with you, you can't leave me."
West no longer cared about Lao Jiu, but faced other team members. He stood on a table and whispered loudly: "Brothers, it is inevitable that there will be sacrifices in war. I have found a good captain for you. He can lead you to a new starting point. I have retired with honor. Even if everyone forced me to stay in the army, do you feel happy? I used to be so proud, but it is very uncomfortable to be ordinary now, but I am still alive. This is the greatest victory. At the same time, I also hope that you will live well. I will always cherish this memory, cherish the day and night of fighting with you. I hope you forgive me, forgive my selfishness and cowardice."
The first mobile team was in full swing, and the captain was always a hero in the hearts of the players. They instantly realized that being able to live is victory.
After that, West invited the team members to drink. Although his health was not good, he still picked up the wine glass and drank with everyone.
Lao Jiu cried, and was crying very sadly. His good comrade-in-arms partner who had been in good faith for many years was about to leave, and his mood was like a knife.
Just as the members of the First Mobile Team were drunk, West set off to return home, and the Chief of Staff happily paid a large amount of pension.
One million and three million blue gold coins are above the second Galaxy, and the resource star is enough to be glorious for twenty years. However, after getting his identity certificate and leaving the military surveillance, West was not breathless when he walked, and stood up straight, with a military style.
Ten days later, the small passenger ship entered the star system where the Maning star is located, which is located on the edge of the Kerlan star field and is an important resource star under the jurisdiction of the Wanshen Organization.
