125 Receive a war death pension for yourself
From the time Lei Rui entered General Duke's office, Rogers had been sitting there, silent, with a look of loneliness and depression on his face.
Maybe it was Gabriel's heavenly chant last night that made him realize the sacredness after being assimilated, and now after falling into the mortal world, he is a little uncomfortable because of the big drop, or maybe he is thinking about other things, just like Captain Heshu felt a little guilty about Lei Rui in his heart, who knows?
Lei Rui turned to look at Rogers, and saw that his face once again had the divine glow of holding on to his faith.
"That's not too much!" Lei Rui replied very seriously, "I am already a person who has died once, so I cherish the time I am alive, but this task is clearly a mortal mission, and it is clear that I want to die again!" I'm just asking for my war death pension in advance so that I can enjoy my life before I die, is that too much? ”
"But you're a soldier! Thunder! Soldier! Rogers argued, "Soldiers should be prepared to die on the battlefield!" ”
"I'm already dead on the battlefield! This mission will require me to die on the battlefield again! Lei Rui replied with his hands outstretched.
"This is your duty and honor! Thunder! You can't make any more of these excessive demands! ”
Lei Rui replied calmly: "There is a pension for those who die on the battlefield, which is not an excessive request. Rogers, you don't need money, you can't just assume that other people can be like you and don't need money! You see, I need money, very much! Do you think it's funny and excessive to receive your own war death pension in advance? ”
Everyone fell silent, asking for their own death pension in advance, which was indeed not a funny thing, but a very heavy topic, but Rogers obviously did not agree with Lei Rui's reason, shook his head and said: "Ray! I admit that you have a point, but you are a battle hero who has come down from the battlefield, you can have a nobler pursuit, a nobler belief, and you should not be so willing to fall! ”
"Rogers!" Lei Rui shouted, shook his head and replied, "You have your faith and belief, and I have my pursuit!" You have the ideals and paths you adhere to, and I have the way I want to go! You can't ask me with your faith and convictions, just as I won't ask you with my pursuits. ”
"Rogers, before participating in the Super Soldier Transformation Program, I remember you once asked me, what is it like to fight on the battlefield? My answer to you at the time was that you have to experience it to know for yourself. Perhaps you should ask me more now what it is like to be trapped in the waters of a submarine's bilge, surrounded by darkness and unable to find a way out. What is it like to find out that the submarine is empty, it is pitch black everywhere, and the submarine is still sinking? What does it feel like to be swept out of the sea by the air current, immersed and floating in the vast sea?! The answer I give you is still the same, you have to experience it yourself to know! ”
"Maybe after you experience it for yourself, you can understand why I cherish my time so much! to understand why I need this money so desperately! I want to live a good life before I die on the battlefield again! ”
"Rogers! If it weren't for this mortal mission, I wouldn't have asked for my own pension! Rather, it will live well in London! Live a nourishing life! But this task requires me! Instead of me needing this task! Do you think it's fun for me to receive my own war death pension and then receive another war death pension in advance? ”
"It's not fun! Rogers! It's not fun at all! It's even less funny! Not too much! ”
There was silence in the office, everyone just thought that Lei Rui was standing here alive, and the war death pension was just a joke request, but they ignored the heaviness of dying in the battle and dying in the sea! Now he forced Lei Rui to pour out these words one by one, arousing the heaviness in their hearts.
General Duke coughed and asked, "Kid, this request can be considered!" Do you have any more requirements? Let's say it all at once! ”
Lei Rui looked at General Duke and replied, "Yes! Checkmate! I still have a request! For this mission, I ask for a reasonable reward! Pay in advance! I want to have the power to choose my players and equipment! Also, I asked for a set of weapons designed just for me, similar to Captain Rogers' shield! If you can't make it in time, you can wait until after this mission, if I can come back unharmed, of course! That's it, General! ”
General Duke was noncommittal, nodded and replied, "Okay! I will consider these requests of yours! You're good to go! ”
Lei Rui saluted, nodded to Captain He Shu, turned to leave, and when he walked to the door, Captain He Shu stopped him and asked, "Ray! Do you need me to tell Captain Taylor about your return? ”
Lei Rui pondered for a moment, then turned his head and replied, "It's better not to use it, I don't want them to think too much about it!" You know, it's not the fault of any of you, and I don't mean to blame any of you, so it might be better for them not to know the news. ”
Outside the door, the two gendarmes who had brought him were still waiting there, taking him away. General Duke let out a long breath and asked, "What do you think about this?"
"General! This precedent cannot be set! This is a matter of principle! Rogers was the first to speak out.
Major Erit met General Duke's gaze, spread his hands, and replied: "If we had enough choice and time, I would rather send this kid to a military prison and a court-martial!" But we don't, we don't have a choice, we don't have enough time! Damn it! Checkmate! He pinched our soft underbelly! Fortunately, his request is not excessive, General! ”
The meaning was obvious, and although Major Erit was very reluctant, he had to be forced by the situation to reluctantly agree to Lei Rui's request. The other two echoed Major Erit's opinion.
Finally, General Duke looked at Captain Heshu, who looked at the others and replied very sincerely, "General! My opinion is that his request can be met. If it weren't for him, we would have been wiped out in this mission! Not to mention the advantages now! His merits, his sacrifices, and the danger and importance of this mission to the Far East were enough to win him what he was asked for! These requirements are not excessive! ”
General Duke stood up, nodded and said, "Good! Major Erit, get your troops and supplies ready! Captain Heshu is ready to make plans for his trip to Moscow! I'll report this to General Eisenhower, he's part of the Army Rangers, and I don't want the Army guys to pick on the Admiralty's thorns! That's it, gentlemen! Major Eritt! What happened to the incident at the Rockhard Mission Hospital last night? ”
