I am the presiding judge in charge of the trial, Gregory, to my right and left, the two vice-presiding judges, Mondigo and Louis, and the jurors who are here. ’

'Well, I declare that the trial of Major Olive is now open for the court-martial! ’

In a small room, a row of tables spread out with army-green tablecloths and temporarily set up, each person had several documents and a microphone in front of them, and the people sitting in this row were officers with senior ranks.

The highest was a major general, a gray-haired old man, the presiding judge, and the officers on his left and right were all of the rank of colonel.

After arriving in the capital, Oliver rested for a day, was taken to the high buildings of the Houses of Parliament early in the morning, drove into the underground car park by car, and then took the elevator to the 22nd floor. She was now standing in the room, and the two burly guards standing behind her made her feel that if she moved the slightest, she would be pressed to the ground.

Today's Oliver also combed up, not to dress up beautifully, but she wanted to be judged in a clean dress, which is the basic consciousness of being a soldier and respecting herself......

……

It's chilling to look at all the information about you. If these are true, then Major Olive you would be found guilty of crimes against humanity, extremism, anti-humanitarianism, intentional homicide, and abuse of office. ’

Dressed in a sleek major uniform and barrel skirt, Olive surprised the presiding judge and the judges, but they would do the fairest trial possible, because they were the ones who were called the last moral line of defense in the military.

'Is there anything you would like to say?' Major Olive Live. ’

The presiding judge removed the glasses from his face and placed them on the table, his eyes looking at Olive Live.

Before I do that, I want to talk about my experience, okay? ’

'Your nationality and record are all there, Major Olive Live! ’

Olive was very nervous now, and her body was trembling slightly unconsciously, but she forced herself to compose. It was the first time she had encountered such a serious occasion, and it was the place where her fate would be decided.

I know, I just want to talk about myself. ’

'Please. ’

'At the Battle of Lokhuanshan, I saw the enemy on the opposite side, they were very strong, and our strength was only one-third of theirs. We were ordered by our superiors to hold this position, so we desperately wanted to keep our lives as much as possible, not to live! ’

Olive glanced around at all the officers in front of her.

We just want to kill one more enemy while we can still move, and take a little more pressure off the rear. ’

But the information says you're a deserter! Major Olive Live. ’

Gregory's tone was a little heavier, but his expression was the same as ever.

'What is a deserter?' Is it because I'm still alive? Is it because I'm intact? General, you must have experienced a war when you were struggling on the battlefield and there was no hope in sight, right? ’

'Yes, undeniable! Major, I've been there. ’

So if I quit the battlefield after completing the mission, would I be considered a deserter? Checkmate! ’

'Major, please don't mess around. Your superiors asked you to defend the battlefield, but you fled. ’

'I am a living person! Not cold steel or grass! ’

Olive growled excitedly.

There was silence in the interrogation room.

'My mission is to hold the ground!' I repeat! I've done my best, and if I don't leave, all that's left is death. ’

'As a soldier, it is glorious to die. Major Olive Live, you have clearly broken a soldier's promise. ’

'The promise of the soldier is to complete the mission! General, I can die, but I can't die meaninglessly. The enemy has completely occupied our position, and they have five times as many troops left! ’

'How to fight! I want to ask you, how is this battle still going to be fought? ’

Can you imagine all the mechs and planes already dead, and more than 40 tanks and hundreds of soldiers rushing up? Yes? ’

'No point! It doesn't make sense! They are rushing up to kill themselves! ’

Olive yelled, she was clearly out of control.

The two soldiers behind her quickly stepped forward and restrained her left and right arms.

Are they your heroes? Why can't you run away, but have to rush to the enemy's guns? Is it just because of one of your admiring bullshit? ’

They also have families and children. They are flesh and blood, not cold weapons! ’

'They are qualified soldiers, majors!' ’

'No! They are not qualified! ’

Gregory's words were immediately refuted loudly by Olive .

'They could have run, they could have surrendered, I don't think that's a shame, General. ’

'Your sentence of a qualified soldier just cost the enemy a few missiles and a few boxes of magazines, and what about us? My comrades-in-arms are all dead, they have already completed their mission, they could have lived, their families are waiting for them to come home, they don't need your praise or recognition. ’

'We're talking about the fact that you ran away on the battlefield, Major Olive Live!' ’

Vice-President Louis spoke,

If this is called flight, then I ask you, does the order clearly require me to die? ’

'There can be no such order, Major. ’

'So if I'm not dead, does that mean I'm running away?' ’

‘…… This ......'

Louise was dumbfounded by Olive rhetorical questioning.

'Major Olive Live, the information says that this war is not over yet, and that you are out of the battlefield. ’

'Because I'm not dead?' Or you can't read! Captain. ’

'Silence!! ’

Gregory lowered the hammer to stop the brawl in the interrogation room.

'Major Olive Live! Watch your tone! ’

'I'm sorry, Presiding Judge. ’

I would like to say that the war was over as soon as the positions were taken, and my mission was accomplished. I don't want to go all the way to the enemy's gun for a compliment. ’

I am not in a position to judge the fighters who rushed up later, but, the presiding judge and the jurors. ’

If you, who are known as the last moral line of defense of the military, think that a dead martyr is more meaningful than a living soldier, I have nothing to say! That's my end. ’

Olive concluded her speech.

The presiding judge and the jurors were silent for a while, and then they began to discuss with each other in low voices before making a decision.

'There is a trial of Major Olive that needs to be discussed before being arraigned, and the time is set for three days. Well, retire! ’

Gregory struck the wooden hammer, and Olivi's first game at court-martials was officially over......
