Chapter 6: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds
Staff of the 2 Brigade 3 Regiment.
On the oval table are two wine glasses and a copy of the literature.
The regimental commander and the chief of staff sat opposite each other, each holding a cigar in their hands, watching the video played by the Alchemy Video Stone in the middle of the conference table, which was the same footage of one man killing five people in the second half of the battle of Vega.
"What do you think?"
"It's magic, without a doubt. ”
"Do you want to report to the brigade staff?"
"Are you willing to give up your talents?"
"Failing to report it is a felony. ”
"Hehe......"
The regimental chief of staff drank all the wine in the cup, and said in a mocking tone: "Last month, the brigade withdrew 5 professionals from our regiment, and even the only magician was not spared, and now the combat effectiveness of the entire regiment has dropped by more than 30%, and even the fourth regiment of cannon fodder next door dares to mock us, I can't swallow this breath if you swallow it." ”
The head of the regiment stood up and paced back and forth: "Then can this be done?"
The regimental staff officer fanned the flames and said: "Leave this child to focus on training, even if you know it, you won't be embarrassed because of a newly promoted level 1 trainee professional, you will awaken your magic at the age of 11, but there is a great chance that you will awaken your spiritual power and become a magician." ”
Da-da-da-da.
The regimental commander paced back and forth for ten minutes, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Just do as you say, didn't he kill a few special elites of the United Kingdom? ”
"Bloody?"
"Keep people mindful first. ”
The regimental chief of staff smiled and raised his glass: "I'm sure you will be glad for today's decision." ”

The next day.
The rising sun shines through the window on the floor, and Vega wakes up.
"This is ......"
The whiteness was the walls, the snow-white leaflets, the smell of disinfectant in the air, and Vega himself was not lying on a bed in the barracks, but was clearly hospitalized.
"Why in the hospital?"
Yesterday's events flashed like a slide, his battle against Bakken was sacrificed, and he survived by relying on the evil little mage's extraordinary evil power skill Jedi counterkill.
"It's good to be alive. ”
Vega took a deep breath of air, and even though the air was full of disinfectant water, he felt extremely wonderful.
Knock knock.
There were three knocks on the door, and then the door to the ward opened.
"Corporal Vega, you're finally awake. ”
The person who came in was an unfamiliar face, but Vega was about to stand up and salute when he saw the rank of the other party's second lieutenant, but was stopped by this middle-aged man.
"Corporal Vega doesn't need to be polite. ”
The middle-aged man said amiably: "You are our hero now, at the age of 11, you won the Outstanding Soldier Medal of the Boot Training Camp, and you killed ten special reconnaissance soldiers of the United Kingdom in the reconnaissance patrol mission alone, and the entire regiment could not find a better soldier than you." ”
"Your Excellency the Ensign, you have praised it. ”
Vega said with a little sadness: "It's a pity that Captain Bakken died yesterday......"
Sad?
After only fifteen days together, Bakken's death did not have much impact on Vega, but he was in a hurry to get rid of this squad and of course to create an image of an excellent soldier with a sound personality.
The middle-aged lieutenant nodded with satisfaction and said, "Corporal Vega is really an excellent soldier, and I feel deeply honored to be your commander." ”
"Sir?"
Vega was a little stunned, is this his new squad leader?
But no, the rank of second lieutenant and the position of squadron leader are standard, and the squad leader is generally held by corporal and sergeant, and there is absolutely no possibility of wasting an ensign as a squad leader in the case of the shortage of imperial officers.
"That's right. ”
The middle-aged second lieutenant smiled and said: "In view of your outstanding performance in killing one second lieutenant, two sergeants, and several senior soldiers in the United Kingdom, and intercepting important information, the regimental staff will award you the rank of corporal, the Iron Cross, and promote you to the position of squad leader in the 17th squad of the second squadron of the 32nd Company of the second battalion, I am your direct superior, squadron leader Rhodes." ”
Vega froze in place.
One second ago, he was thinking about how to leave the dangerous 11 team, but he didn't expect that the wish would come true the next second, and happiness came so suddenly that Vega's brain instantly short-circuited.
"Corporal Vega...... Corporal Vega?"
The successive calls woke Vega's thoughts, and he jumped up from his hospital bed and gave a standard military salute: "Report Captain, Private Vega reports to you." ”
"It's a corporal. ”
Rhodes emphasized: "It seems that your officer is fine, then I will report to the regiment headquarters, and the regiment commander will personally award you the honor." ”
"Yes, Squadron Leader. ”
Vega hurriedly responded, and at the same time changed into a military uniform and followed Rhodes towards the regimental staff.
The hospital is only ten minutes away from the General Staff.
"Report, Corporal Vega brought. ”
"Please come in. ”
After the squadron leader Rhodes knocked on the door to report, he walked into the door of the regimental staff with Vega.
The regimental commander sat on the main seat, and the chief of staff sat at a desk next to him, and the two stood up together when they saw Vega coming.
"Corporal Vega. ”
"In view of your excellent performance, you are now honoured with a ceremony. ”
With a serious face, the regiment commander took out an iron cross from his assistant's tray and put it on Vega's chest, and saluted Vega's military salute: "Princes and martial arts are prosperous." ”
"For the glory of the Empire!" Vega quickly replied.
The whole award ceremony ended here, except for a few ritual words in the award, the regiment commander did not say anything during the ceremony, and did not even look at Vega again, only the chief of staff kept squinting his eyes and looking Vega up and down.
As soon as the regimental award ceremony ended.
Vega was taken to the camp for the award ceremony, and after the award ceremony, he was taken to the company for the appointment ceremony, and finally at sunset, Vega finally met his subordinates.
On the podium of the school field.
Squadron Leader Rhodes said loudly: "From today onwards, Corporal Vega will serve as the squad leader of the 17th squad, please be sure to cooperate with the work, all for the glory of the empire." ”
"For the glory of the Empire!"
The soldiers returned a military salute without any objections.
However, Vega found that several people in Team 17 did not have too friendly eyes, and obviously had some objections to him, the leader of the airborne team, but they were limited by the orders of their superiors and could not raise them.
Absolute obedience to the orders of superiors is a tradition of the Norlan Imperial Army.
Even if the orders of the superiors are unreasonable, as a subordinate, they must be absolutely obedient, you can be unconvinced, but you must be absolutely obedient in action, Vega did not take a few strange looks in his eyes.
Now his only concern is the basic welfare of the squad leader.
As far as he knew, the squad leader was also an official, so he could be assigned an apartment of his own in Karenicheng, and he could receive a salary of 1 gold coin per month.
What's more, the Iron Cross is entitled to an additional 5 silver coins per month for a living allowance.
