Chapter 234: Mai Ke's Painful Review
After awarding first-class awards to first-class meritorious servicemen, Mai Ke announced a long-standing policy of the Kingdom of Heaven regarding meritorious service awards.
All those who have sacrificed their lives for the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven will be awarded the title of Special Meritorious Hero. In all walks of life, especially in battle, those who have made outstanding contributions are awarded the title of first-class meritorious service.
These two types of meritorious heroes are determined by the Heavenly Secret Mansion, except for other documents and rewards, and all the two types of meritorious heroes are commemorated by monuments.
Then Mai Ke announced: "The Monument of Meritorious Deeds of Heaven is now unveiled!"
The big screen shows that on the east side of the Holy Mountain, on both sides of the River of Life, there is a tall monument made of white jade. The monument on the left is called "Rest in Lord's Arms", and it is full of people who died for the kingdom of heaven, and the first one is Lu Liu, the brother who was arrested and died in prison for participating in the worship of God.
The inscription on the monument on the right, "Work with the Lord", is all of the first-class meritorious service officially awarded by the Heavenly Secret Mansion. There are only the eight heroes who have been rewarded today, and the names are arranged in the order of meritorious deeds. Of course, Xiao Hei also turned sideways, but added a surname in front of Xiao Hei and became "Xuan Xiaohei".
Here, the Pastoral Order presented a hymn, a new creation, for the unveiling of the two monuments, entitled "He is Glorified." In particular, the poem shows that these heroes did everything for the glory of God, and they all glorified God with their work and even their lives. These two monuments are manifestations of God's glory.
At this time, there were already a few spectators standing in front of the rostrum who turned their heads to look back, just in time to see the real thing directly, the white jade tablet shining in the sun. Scorching, holy and solemn, full of life.
After doing the things that made everyone happy and inspiring, Mai Ke also shared these joys, and then it was time for Mai Ke to face the mistakes in this anti-purge alone.
"The following is the review of Mai Ke, the temporary acting prime minister of the Tianbi Mansion!" Because this is a formal procedure, the host Mai Ke must also make an official announcement by name, and then point to his nose and say: "It's this kid, I'm Mai Ke!"
"Boom" laughed out loud. The venue had just been turned into a heavy atmosphere. All of a sudden, it returned to the original cheerful and celebratory tone.
This is also Mai Ke's deliberate action. There is a need for inspection, and I have taken all the responsibility, so don't worry about others.
Mai Ke began with this: "Brothers and sisters, friends! We have just made arrangements for the brothers who died in this anti-purge campaign. Recorded the special merit. engraved on the monument. That's all we can do, it seems.
"But if we stop there, we miss the meaning of these sacrifices. Because they paid at the expense of their sacrifice. The greatest practical significance for us is to teach us a lesson!
"This lesson is, first of all, an ironclad case of our mistakes in our work. And these mistakes are my mistakes. Therefore, the responsibility for these mistakes lies with me. In other words, no one but me will be punished for these mistakes.
One of the most obvious signs of these mistakes is what caused the death of our brothers. I won't mention anything else, just two places. These two places are the places where the most dead people live.
"The first place is the Black Dragon Pond Fortress. The final death toll there was nine hundred and twelve. The second place was on the way to pursue Lo Chongguang, and the death toll reached forty-eight. These numbers of deaths are still after we try our best to save lives and use special medicines, otherwise the number will be even higher.
"In addition to this, the combined number of other battlefields was only thirty-nine dead. It can be seen that these two places are deadly. There is a common focus on these two places of death, which is that it happened in the process of the enemy has been defeated and we are encircling and intercepting it. "There may be other fortuitous factors here, but the most fundamental cause is our own underestimation of the enemy. Failure to pay enough attention to the enemy, failure to use the most effective means against the enemy, and lack of necessary patient preparation are all direct reflections of this mentality of underestimating the enemy.
And excessive death is the inevitable consequence of this contempt for the enemy, of these inappropriate methods of dealing with the enemy. "All, in order to avoid undue death in the future, it is necessary to subdue to the idea of underestimating the enemy, and to adopt a strategy against the enemy wisely.
"These are the basic analyses of these excessive deaths. However, on the basis of these basic circumstances, there are also special and specific reasons that allow these basic improprieties to magnify their effects, and even to be able to transform them from possibility to reality.
"This is the new type of weapon that appeared in the Black Dragon Pond Fortress - heavy machine guns. Its appearance has made our loss unbearable. It is also responsible for 90 percent of our deaths.
"I especially want to review and take responsibility for this matter. If I had paid more attention, the loss could have been avoided or reduced.
"All in all, our mistakes gave the enemy opportunities, and the enemy took advantage of them to bring us death. Therefore, I take all the responsibility for the deaths of these people.
"As for the punishment, it is to be determined by the nature of the error. Not only for me, but also for all the people of the Kingdom of Heaven. If it is a mistake in the work, he will be instructed to improve in the future work, and if it is because of inaction, he will be rearranged and will not have another chance. Because he has betrayed the trust placed in him.
"In my case, the current one belongs to the former, so I have to redouble my efforts and improve in my work. I, Mai Ke, are here to show my heart to everyone: I will not let anyone hurt my brother, no matter what the reason, to the ends of the earth!
"Bang Bang!" I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and then the whole audience did the same, and the applause rang out all over the audience, all the places where they participated from a distance, and the birds and animals. But there's something unique about how they applaud -- either flapping their wings, or stomping their feet.
Before this review, Mai Ke had already made a decision to lead a special team to solve the problem of the Maxim machine gun.
Not only to give an account of these losses, but also for the future. If the killing weapon of Makqin was equipped by the enemy to the entire Qing army, even if his own side had the same equipment, the number of deaths would increase exponentially. Whether it is the enemy's or his own side, a large number of deaths are unacceptable to Mai Ke.
Therefore, Mai Ke has raised this problem to a yellow-level alert, and is determined to mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals to completely contain this fierce beast before causing greater losses and spreading more widely......!
