Chapter 3: Folk Affairs (1) (Xiao Z asks for recommendation)
Silva is a twenty-eight-year-old female surname, born in the United States, studying in xx middle school, xxx university, and her profession is ......
All in all, she is just a very ordinary American female surname, and if you follow the selection criteria of the Hope, she is actually not eligible to board the ship.
However, she had a good husband, was a soldier in the U.S. Marine Corps, and protected her and their daughter at the end of the day, while sheltering more than a dozen neighbors around her, and he was selected as one of the soldiers of the Hope.
When the end came, Silva was scared, but she was able to be by her husband's side, which gave her a lot of comfort, and the only pity was that her three-year-old daughter, who was so young that she had to face the end of the day, made her feel painful every time she thought about it.
But after boarding the Hope and living in the fifth floor of the Reading Force Community, her pain has been alleviated a lot, especially with the successful completion of the Hope space jump, the happiness of escaping life, being with her family, and her daughter can grow up smoothly, is suddenly full of heart, so since Silva came to the Hope, she has always been smiling, just like when she used to live in a small town in the United States.
This continued until a few days ago......
"Dear Mrs. Lawston, on behalf of the 3rd Squadron of the Hope, I am sending you this letter to thank your husband for the Hope, for the Hope, for us, the 120,000 remnants of humanity, we will never forget his heroic battle on the desert planet, we will not forget his contribution to us, because of his sacrifice, we have rescued 341 technicians and scientists, and 74 brave soldiers and their comrades, here, let us ......"
Sylva looked at the letter almost in despair, she was too familiar with such a letter, as the wife of a U.S. Marine Corps soldier, she also knew some other military families, she had seen the scene after these soldiers died, those family members received this death notice, but she did not expect that one day she would also get this death notice.
At that moment, Silva was crying and almost fainted, and if it weren't for her three-year-old daughter tugging at the hem of her skirt, she would probably be lying in the hospital by now.
Until her daughter held her hand and said in a childish voice that her mother should not cry, at that moment, Silva hugged her daughter tightly, and at the same time, this weak woman's heart burst out with incomparable strength and courage.
To live, to raise her daughter, to let her know that her father is a hero!
He sacrificed himself for the sake of the continuation of the last remnant of mankind!
No, that's not enough, he should be given a decent funeral! A funeral performed by a political axe! This is the duty of the political axe......
My husband died for the political axe, and he deserves to be treated in accordance with his honor, and at the same time, as his wife, and the children he left behind, he should also be taken care of by the political axe, including the future education of his daughter......
With this in mind, and the strength and courage in his heart, Silva began to contact other families of fallen soldiers.
In the first battle of the desert planet, the soldiers who died were close to 300, most of them had relatives, either parents, or wives and children, and the families of these fallen soldiers together were basically about 1,000 people, and Silva was actively contacting them.
The venue was in a collective movie screening hall, and hundreds of people had already arrived, and the number of arrivals was still increasing.
"Lady Jerichor, Lady Eris, I'm sorry I'm late." As soon as Silva entered the room, she saw two ladies walking towards her, to whom she immediately spoke.
The two ladies, one of whom was of mixed black race and the other of whom were purebred whites, the mulatto of about twenty-four or five years old, and the other in his thirties, both looked at Silva with a smile, and at the same time Mrs. Jericho, who was of mixed black race, smiled and asked, "Silva, have you collected so much information?" ”
Silva was holding a large pile of documents in her hand, and she allowed the two ladies to take some of the documents, and then said: "Yes, some are the regulations on the treatment of the dead and their families in the United States, some are the United States Constitution, some are about soldiers in international conventions, and by the way, a few are about Chinese law, but there are very few and very little detail...... As you know, the captain is a [***] man. ”
Both ladies smiled, and Mrs. Iris said at once, "Yes, he is a middleman, but he is also a hero, and he has saved more than 120,000 of us and given us order and justice...... At least so far, nothing particularly unjust has been discovered, and on the desert planet, it is thanks to his efforts that we have escaped life, and he is a qualified leader. ”
Silva was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "You misunderstood me, Mrs. Eris, I know that he is a hero, a qualified leader, and what he is doing is very fair, and he does not engage in special treatment because of skin color and race, I have no intention of targeting him, but you also know that he is Chinese after all, and Chinese laws are likely to affect him, so I prepared these documents." ”
Both of them nodded in agreement, and they both chatted with Silva about these legal documents, but they knew that Silva had gone down to the lower three layers many times for these legal documents, looking for relevant legal experts, American, European, Asian, Chinese, and even international law, these things consumed a lot of her energy, but they finally sorted it out, and now is the time to use it.
These three people are the three leaders and advocates of the funeral of the fallen soldiers, their husbands all died on the desert planet, and they have not even recovered their bodies, and they all have children born to their husbands, so they are also the most active people, hoping to implement their husbands' funerals and them, as well as the treatment of their children.
After a while, Shival walked to the stage, she looked at the families of the fallen soldiers who were nearly two hundred or so below, but she frowned tightly, but she didn't have time to ask anything at the moment, so she could only smile and say into the microphone: "Everyone, I think I haven't forgotten anything, I have already informed almost all the families of the fallen soldiers before, but...... Why didn't so many people show up? ”
The families below were surprised, in fact, they were very concerned about this gathering, and many of them even prepared some documents and files like Silva, and contributed a lot to this gathering, so when Silva said that there were many family members who were not there, they were so surprised...... Why is this happening? That's their own relatives, not sons, or husbands, don't they love their relatives?
At this time, the faces of the dozen or so people sitting in it were all a little wrong, and one of the women stood up and said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Thomson, I think I can explain something." ”
Thomson is Silva's husband's last name, so everyone else calls her Mrs. Thomson.
When Silva heard this, she immediately looked at the woman, who was a yellow Asian, who looked to be about twenty years old, wearing a pair of glasses, and was a very beautiful woman.
"Is it Mrs. Manos? Do you know why other family members don't come? Silva asked with concern.
The Asian woman nodded, she took the microphone handed over by others and said: "You should know that I am a Chinese immigrant, originally a Chinese, and more than thirty percent of the soldiers killed this time are Chinese [***] people, and those who did not come are basically their families, uh, I don't know how to describe it, but every word I say here does not mean to denigrate any political system, any political axe, or any nation." ”
She looked at the people around her and continued, "They may be waiting, or they may be scared, and that's why I think so." ”
The people around were very strange, even a little incomprehensible, another old man in his fifties stood up, he also took the microphone and asked, "Can you tell us about it?" We can understand what they are waiting for, after all, the Hope Axe has not yet given a final conclusion to the funeral of the soldiers, but we are gathering together to discuss it in order to promote them to get this conclusion, and even the future legal provisions, we are very curious...... What are they afraid of? ”
Mrs. Manos hesitated for a moment, but finally said in the eyes of the people around her, "They are afraid of the political axe...... You know, they were frightened a lot because of the chaos of the last days, and they were all frightened like we are, the kind of fright that comes when there is no axe in a state of chaos......"
Another black woman also stood up and asked, "Yes, but doesn't the Hope have a political axe at the moment?" And the order is also well maintained, and even in many cases, this political axe is too focused on order, almost infringing on civil rights, so they don't need to be afraid of the threat of losing order. ”
Mrs. Manos finally gritted her teeth, and she plucked up her courage to say: "What they are afraid of is this political axe with strict order, and now the political axe of the Hope is a reading organization, and it is ...... It's the same as in their previous society, and this is a matter related to the military, in their original society, the affairs of the army are directly decided by the political axe, and they are not given the right and opportunity to protest at all, so they are used to it...... And it's more likely that the Hope is in a dangerous universe right now, and they're worried about the serious consequences of their protests, and they're saying to me like this, they still have children to raise, and they're already living a good life and don't want that to change...... That's what they're afraid of! ”
There was an uproar among the people around him, and an old man in his sixties stood up, and he said with a lot of anger: "Then there is such a thing, this funeral is likely to lead to the practice of the future Hope Axe to deal with the same thing, and there are our relatives among them, how can we not participate in it?" We are not committing a crime, but we are protecting and enforcing our own power, and it is impossible for the political axe to do anything to us! ”
"Yes, and the Major is an impartial hero, he can certainly ......"
"We're helping the political axe improve its regulations, how can something serious happen......
"Yes, Mrs. Manos, did they misunderstand something......
These people from Europe and the Americas, they were all talking nonsense, and suddenly at this moment, the door of the venue opened suddenly, and two members of the Black Star team, the lieutenant, followed by more than a dozen soldiers, walked in from the outside.
When these soldiers appeared, the whole venue was silent, everyone looked at them quietly, and the yellow Asian woman, Mrs. Manos, a Chinese American, had fear on her face, and even her body trembled slightly.
The two members of the Black Star Squad, led by Liu Bai, led the team directly to the stage, and then he walked up to the stage alone, first smiled at Silva, took her microphone, and then saluted everyone present, and then said: "Major order, hold the grandest star funeral ceremony, in the mourning of 120,000 people, and at the same time transform a hall on the fifth floor, transform it into a human heroes memorial hall, record the lives and names of the fallen soldiers, so that our descendants can commemorate them for generations." and remember their contribution to the continuation of our humanity. ”
"In addition, regarding the treatment of all the families of the deceased, I hope that the political axe will accept your suggestions in the coming week, and rest assured that you will receive all the honors left by your husband and son, your children will receive the best education, you will continue to live in the fifth floor of the reading community, and your children will be able to proudly say ...... to others."
"My father, a hero who died for the continuation of mankind!"
There was silence for a long time, and at last there was a loud burst of cheers, and everyone was celebrating, as if they had won a great battle, and Mrs. Manos, who was Chinese, was already weeping with joy and crying like a child......
