With the continuous development of the economy and the increase in population, West Point, the most famous town in the region, has finally entered a period of expansion. Due to the lack of flat terrain in this area, the high cost of various urban infrastructure renovation and community construction, the natural geographical conditions are not suitable for taking the route of large towns, and now the town's settled population has exceeded 6,000 people, and the town government has stopped applying for immigration quotas to the Ministry of Immigration since the previous year. Similarly, on the other side of the river, the town of Yinggu has enough room for expansion, but when the settled population exceeds 5,000, the mayor of the town, Sun Hongyi, has begun to reduce the number of immigration quota applications.

Like Silver Valley, as one of the most mature towns in the country, West Point has also become a key target for national relocation recruitment for new colonization towns in various places. A large number of favorable relocation conditions are plastered on the notice boards in the town square of West Point, luring the residents of West Point to move their families to new places. However, for West Point, which leads the country in terms of per capita national income and quality of life, the number of emigrant families has decreased significantly in the past two years.

In the western suburbs of West Point Town, in the army military base separated from the West Point Military Academy, in a very quiet gendarmerie dormitory, Qiao Xi and Yu Shan were staying in the room with different moods.

Since June last year, he has been detained by the gendarmerie for eight months, but the rest of the time is locked up in this dormitory, which is almost empty, except for a limited number of hours every day.

After the morning was over, Qiao Yan had been leaning on the flat bed, silently flipping through the newspaper, with a blank expression. Yu Shan walked around the room, pounding the walls, knocking on the furniture, or simply pulling the window and smoking cigarette after cigarette.

"Those gendarmes must have said a lot of bad things about us! And that Major Scott, I thought he didn't like us! In the past few years, we have made several trips to the ghost gate. Didn't anyone say a good word for us? Yu Shan threw away the cigarette butt and raised his arm angrily, "It's okay not to allow Ximei to come to see me, my mother's New Year is still locked up for us, it's not fair!" ”

"We violated military law." Qiao Yan turned the page and didn't look at Yu Shan's trademark nagging expression, "There are two points of merit, this truth has been made clear since the day I joined the army." ”

"But...... But you can't just leave us here! It's okay to give a precise number whether it's dead or alive! Yu Shan grabbed his hair and was about to cry. It's over, if we are sentenced to military law, I will never ...... again The marriage with Ximei is about to come to an end! ”

It has been more than two months since I returned to my hometown, and I have heard Yu Shan mention marriage countless times, listening to the faint sound of firecrackers in the direction of the city. Qiao Yan slowly put down the newspaper, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I'm sorry, Yu Shan, if I had listened to Sergeant Major Makarov and stayed honestly, maybe you would have married Ximei a few months ago." ”

Yu Shan was slightly stunned, and a little panic flashed in his eyes. The corners of his mouth moved several times, but he still didn't speak. The room fell silent, and the sound of Lantern Festival firecrackers in the direction of the city became clearer and clearer.

"It's none of your business, Qiao. It's all caused by me...... Cui Ya's child, you lost Pearl Island for adoption, what about yourself? A few minutes later, Yu Shan turned around, and there was a rare expression of guilt. I remember that the carpenter in the town has always been kind to you. His daughter ......"

Just then, the door opened, and a European second lieutenant walked in with two gendarmes carrying rice buckets with a straight face.

"Lieutenant Qiao Shi, Sergeant Yu Shan. It's a festive day, and maybe you've been looking forward to eating this delicacy for a long time. As soon as the second lieutenant waved his hand, the gendarmes took out two boxes from the rice bucket, and when they opened them, they saw seven or eight rice balls, an oriental food made from glutinous rice that was scarcely produced on the Butterfly Island State Farm.

"Also, the military court will be sentencing in an hour, so please hurry." With that, the second lieutenant and the gendarme exited the room again.

"Qiao Yan ......" looked at the snow-white rice balls, and Yu Shan's face slowly turned white at the same time, as if he had seen a severed meal.

Ignoring his companion's desperate inquiry, Qiao Yan decisively took the lunch box and swallowed it in a big gulp.

……

Under the stage, Qiao Xi and Yu Shan stood side by side, with two gendarmes behind them. On the stage, a young major read the indictment slowly. On one side, two colonel-ranking officers act as advocates or observers.

“…… The above is the content of the accusations against the commander of the 2nd Infantry Company of the Foreign Legion, Lieutenant Qiao Xian, and the first platoon of the 2nd Infantry Company, Sergeant Yu Shan. Major Scott, Lieutenant Colonel You Nanzhe, do you two have anything to add? ”

The U.S. Gendarmerie Command in China is subordinate to the Ministry of Defense, and its gendarmerie is currently only slightly larger than a standard light infantry company, and most of the time it is scattered in various places. The head of the gendarmerie headquarters is a police officer of the Economic Investigation Brigade at the time of the disaster, and now Major Li Jieming, an otaku who claims to like mystery novels and law, is 32 years old this year.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, similar military court cases have actually been full of more than one slap, and a large number of violations of military discipline and triggering military law have actually been "resolved internally" in the combat environment at that time, but the influence openly created by Qiao Xi and Yu Shan has made a lot of trouble in the expeditionary fleet, so a serious military court trial is very necessary.

"I disagree with the accusations of the gendarmerie command." Scott stood up, his blindfolded face unwavering, "Back to the beginning of the whole case, the troops were resting and waiting to be evacuated, there were no external military conflicts and threats, and Lieutenant Qiao Yan and Sergeant Yu Shan had no subjective motive to defect, which was also provided by Sergeant Major Makarov of the 2nd Battalion of the Foreign Legion. The two had intended to use the time before the evacuation to deal with their personal affairs, and they obtained the same witness statements at the place of the incident. The two did not intend to defect from the unit, but because of an accident, Lieutenant Qiao Xian could not return on time. ”

"In terms of fundamental inducements, it is also related to the registration of the troop tracing application by the general command of the expeditionary fleet. Therefore, their actions can be regarded as private actions, desertion without permission, and not armed defection. ”

After Scott finished speaking his defense, he sat down steadily, and secretly glanced at You Nanzhe beside him.

"You Nanzhe, what is your opinion?" Li Jieming wrote it down in his notebook while asking his crossing companions who are now gaining momentum in the army.

"Major Scott's defense is objective, and I agree with it." You Nanzhe grabbed his military hat and stood up, as if he was tired of the atmosphere here, "I just want to say that Lieutenant Qiao Yan and Sergeant Yu Shan, no matter what the verdict is, they are no longer suitable to serve in the Wehrmacht or the Foreign Legion. That's my opinion. ”

You Nanzhe left, Scott fell into deep thought, and Li Jieming, who made a cameo appearance as a court-martial, was also a little surprised. No matter what, Qiao Xian and Yu Shan are both "more famous" in the National Defense Army, and it is not impossible to raise the board and gently hit it, so it is difficult to say that it is not a loss to drive out of the National Defense Army like this.

In the end, the charges against Qiao and Yu Shan were greatly reduced, characterized as desertion without permission, removed from their current military duties, and sentenced to 10 months in prison. However, since the time of detention on Pearl Island, the two have been detained for more than 8 months, so the next prison period is only 2 months.

However, Qiao Xi and Yu Shan were also forcibly retired from active duty by the army at the same time, and retired to the Porter National Guard Reserve as a reserve, which can be regarded as a farewell to the regular army career that lasted for many years. He also lost the opportunity to continue his promotion in this Chinese Army full of opportunities.

Regarding this result, Qiao Yan did not have any expression, but there was great joy in the bottom of Yu Shan's eyes. This means that as long as Yu Shan insists on two more months, he will be able to marry Ximei, and during this time, the letters sent by Ximei to the military police have made Yu Shan unable to sleep all night.

Retirement from active duty in the Wehrmacht? It was so good that I finally escaped from the clutches of the devil without having to follow Sergeant Major Makarov on some terrifying military missions.

……

Makarov's wedding kicked off on the Lantern Festival in West Point, and the oldest group of West Point citizens, including Mayor William, attended the wedding ceremony.

At West Point Church, the white-bearded Reverend Brest personally performed the ceremony for Makarov and the women from Denmark. The two newlyweds were accompanied by the two children of the Danish widow who had always been by her side.

Major Scott attended Makarov's wedding with his daughter Alice and presented him with a gift: a vest made of high-end alpaca wool.

Makarov, who was hit on the back by a shotgun of earth, survived as expected, but was left with the sequelae of massive neuralgia in his back. As long as the climate is too cold, you will feel the burning pain of your entire back as if you are pressed against coals. Makarov's crude nervous traits allowed him to carry this physical ailment, and in his own words, "fiery power" filled the body.

But no matter how he explained, the Army Command followed the doctor's advice and asked Makarov to go through the formalities of retirement ahead of schedule on the grounds that he was no longer fit for active duty, and said that he could arrange for him to settle in Bermuda or Butterfly Island, where the climate is warmer, through the Ministry of National Defense.

At the age of 32, Makarov faced this reality with a desperate expression, but rejected the offer of the Army Command and chose to live in the local town of West Point, and even planned to join the local National Guard as a reserve to continue his old job. With regard to the demands of such a great man who is extremely rich in combat experience and has a strong command of combat at the grassroots level, the National Guard Reserve Management Office of the Ministry of National Defense naturally welcomes it very much.

In this way, shortly after Makarov's wedding, the National Guard Command in West Point welcomed Sergeant Major, who was famous in the Army.
