Although he didn't know the purpose of the big boss in the Northeast looking for him to go to Shengjing, Vasilyevich was now also a fish on the chopping block, so naturally he had no right to refuse. And from the conversation between Chief of Staff Chen, he could also hear that the other party did not break his promise and kill them all. One thing that reassures Vasilyevich is that the North-Eastern Autonomous Region does not seem to be as exclusive to foreigners as their homeland. In the insurance team, soldiers with white faces, or even black faces, are not uncommon, although they are not many.

"I didn't expect myself to be so afraid of death, now at this time, the Northeast wants to clean up itself, and do you have to go to Ningdao with all your might?" Vasilyevich lay on his back on the boat, secretly laughing at his own courage and getting smaller.

The morning of the next day was not idle, and Vasilyevich, together with several of his senior officers, went to the General Hospital of the North Sea Fleet in Vladivostok to attend the repatriation of his wounded soldiers and the discharge of disabled soldiers. Now Vasilyevich's division is numbered the 3rd Special Warfare Infantry Brigade in the Northeast, and it is no longer a division, but a brigade, and its number has also decreased by a third compared with before, to only 5,000 people. However, he is also a member of the Northeast Insurance Team and a revolutionary team, so the Chief of Staff Chen of the Vladivostok Naval Base also attended the ceremony.

The atmosphere of the meeting was rather eerie, which was also inevitable. All the soldiers had completely lost contact with their homeland, although the Northeast promised to give priority to the extradition of their parents, wives, and children to the Northeast in the exchange of prisoners of war with the Russians, and to give them jobs or farmland, as compared to the ordinary residents of the Northeast. But after all, the promise has not been fulfilled, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts. What is even more worrying is that he is a soldier, but now he has become a shameless traitor and a lackey of the hostile demon Northeast Autonomous Region. Even if the Northeast allows them to reunite with their families, what kind of image do they have in the eyes of their families? Are they really willing to go to a foreign land like the Northeast for the sake of a coward like themselves who has surrendered to the enemy?

There were two groups of people standing in front of them, one group of able-bodied soldiers preparing to return to the ranks. To tell the truth, Vasilyevich saw not excitement on the faces of these people, but indifference, an expression that he was now very familiar with, and most of the soldiers who trained in the camp had this expression. The other group is a lack of arms and legs, or one-eyed deafness, or both. Speaking of which, they are also the biggest victims of this war, and the dead soldiers at least do not have to bear the fate of the rest of their lives, which is likely to be very miserable in the future.

Vasilyevich first walked to the group of disabled soldiers, who were about to leave the barracks. Vasilyevich walked up to a soldier who was blind in one eye, he was not very old, he had not even grown a beard, his head was bowed, and his face was covered with a black blindfold, which blocked the lost eye. Everyone can see that this kid is excited now. If it hadn't been for, I'm afraid the tears would have flowed a long time ago.

"Heads up, Kolchakin."

The sixteen-year-old boy's tears were finally uncontrollable, and the expressions of the people around him were not very good.

"Soldiers, I know how you feel, and many people are unhappy with my decision! But what I'm here to say is that you've done your best, you've all done your best for the empire you once served. If someone has to come out and take responsibility for this defeat and bear the humiliation for treason, then it is enough for me alone! You are all soldiers of my Vasilyevich, the order of treason was given by me, your highest commander, and the duty of a soldier is to obey, so you obeyed my orders, you are not traitors! It has nothing to do with you! You are all the most glorious warriors, and no one can blame you! I can't, those nobles in the empire, even the tsar has no right to accuse you! Vasilyevich paused for a moment, wandered his gaze over the faces of the mutilated soldiers in front of him, and then said in a serious voice: "Speaking of which, this war is about you, because you poured your lives into it!" But it has nothing to do with you, because you don't get the slightest benefit from it! The Tsar and the nobles sent you to the front for their benefit, but at the most critical moment they chose to flee and left us in the Land of Despair. Remember our commander-in-chief? Dragomilov! The dean of the Academy of the Imperial General Staff, a person who is close to the extreme in the quality of the soldier's will! But where is he now? Novosibirsk? Omsk? Kazan? Or did he just flee back to St. Petersburg with his tail between his legs? ”

The whole venue was surprisingly quiet, and Vasilyevich's voice was heard far away, but more often into the hearts of the soldiers.

"Today, you're discharged! But from today onwards, you have a new life of your own! The Northeast is different from the Empire, and you are now residents of the Northeast Autonomous Region. There is no emperor here, and even the prime minister of the autonomous region cannot bully you at will. As the English often say, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter. Let's go back to managing your own life, this is the Northeast Autonomous Region, the place with the most opportunities in the world. You are brave and fearless on the battlefield, and you are never afraid of death, even if you are physically crippled. You have the strongest heart that God has given to mankind, and Tohoku will give you a chance to do it again! These will be my last words for today, soldiers, and when we meet again, I wish you success with a smile on your face! ”

After speaking, Vasilyevich gave a military salute, and then just said to the soldiers who had recovered from their bodies: "Return to the team!" Then he turned around and led the people away, without the slightest drag on the mud and water.

Chief of Staff Chen also left with Vasilyevich, but in his heart he praised the future colleague beside him, not to mention anything else, at least he had a good mouth.

At this time, the group of disabled soldiers behind him shouted out of nowhere, "Division commander, thank you, thank you for letting me live!" ”

Vasilyevich clenched his fists slightly, but did not stop and left directly.

When the others returned to the barracks, Vasilyevich had already boarded the warship heading to the camp. In fact, it should be faster to get from Vladivostok to Ninh by train or airship, but there are no flights in the afternoon by airship, and the train is ...... After all, it is a civilian mode of transportation, and the Northeast is obviously not at ease with letting Vasilyevich ride on it.

"I don't know what the big man on Ning Island, the heart of the Northeast, looks like?" After standing at the bow of the ship for a while, Vasilyevich returned to his cabin, picked up a book in English and read it.
