The lights are on.

It's about 19:00 p.m.

At the end of a busy day, Raglan walked out of the barracks on time.

He is a brigadier general division commander with real power, and currently serves in the Fifth Division of the Third Army.

Unlike other officers, who prefer to live in barracks 24 hours a day, he strictly separates work and life, and now lives in a one-room dormitory assigned to him by the army, which is located near East Avenue in the North District, and the interior is quite modest.

Raglan was not disgusted.

Although his monthly salary is as high as more than 2,000 gold coins, and he can buy a luxurious house with 1/10 of it, he is not a person who likes to be extravagant and wasteful, and most of his salary is spent on buying combat skills and equipment.

Of course, in addition to the purchase of combat skills and equipment, he also has another expense - charity.

Perhaps due to his civilian background, he was very sympathetic to the weak, and every month Raglan would set aside 400 gold from his salary to fund the orphanage and buy food for the street children in the neighborhood.

Children are the future of the empire.

As a soldier loyal to the Empire, Raglan has never been able to understand the actions of the damned politicians of the Imperial Government, who have a huge amount of taxes every year, but let the street children on the street go, that is the future of the Empire!

Raglan knew he couldn't influence the government.

He only did what he could, that is, he spent 300 gold coins to keep the nearby orphanage from going out of business, and another 100 gold coins to buy food for the nearby street children to ensure their basic living conditions.

The monthly expenditure of 400 gold coins did not affect him much.

This charity lasted for more than half a year, and what supported him to continue his charity work was the grateful smiling faces of the children after receiving food, which kept him motivated every day and made him feel that he was truly protecting the future of the empire.

"Master, will I go home directly today or ......?"

The guard cautiously asked, from the point of view of personal duty, he did not want this commander who did not like to bring too many guards to run around, although the chief had the strength of a high-ranking professional, and the idle people could hardly hurt him.

"Go to the slums and see the children. ”

Raglan looked at the sky and said, "Today is the first snow in Kareni, and the children must be frozen, so let's go to the clothing store and buy some warm clothes and send them to the slums." ”

As he spoke, Raglan took matters into his own hands.

The guard smiled helplessly, and could only lead the subordinates behind him to follow Raglan's footsteps.

He still admires the way the chief acts, standing in such a high position to be able to pity the weak, this is not something that everyone can do, take himself as an example, even if he receives a high salary, he is not willing to give a copper plate to a street child.

Slum.

This is one of the most familiar places in Vega.

He didn't expect to be back here after a year, and this time, unlike the last time he passed by the Workers' Union, he stood in front of a dilapidated house in the slum where he had lived last year.

The house has four floors.

Basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor......

At that time, he lived on the first floor with several fellow street children, because the upper floor was where the small leaders of the street children's organization lived, and as a street child on the ground floor, he could only live on the first floor, and he had to hand over 10% of the harvest every day.

What about not intersecting?

If you don't, then you will either choose to leave the slum or you will be beaten.

The only ones who can huddle together to keep warm are the companions at the bottom, but in the end, it's just using each other.

"Sir, this is it. ”

The adjutant's words interrupted Vega's thoughts.

He looked at the familiar dilapidated house in front of him, frowned, and said, "Adjutant, are you sure it's here?"

"If the message from the deputy company commander is not wrong. Adjutant Char glanced at the messenger beside him.

The messenger immediately stepped forward and said to Vega: "Company commander, this is the second contact point we need to clean up, the deputy company commander has led people to arrest everyone in the house, but because there are too many children here, the company commander can't tell which ones are spies of the enemy country and which are just innocent children, so you need to make a personal decision." ”

"It's a matter like this, and I need to decide?" Vega almost laughed.

A deputy company commander, an officer of the Empire, should not have a sad kindness to the child and dare not do it, although he was once a member of this place, but he did not have any good feelings for anyone here.

The wretched will have something to hate.

It doesn't matter if you don't have extraordinary talents, but you don't even have the determination to die, and the parasites that only rely on others to pity the living should have been buried a long time ago, and their existence will only cause the empire to lose more resources.

Da-da-da-da.

Vega walked into the house.

In the hall, about 30 soldiers with standard weapons guarded a group of children, who looked to be about 90 children, all of them crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands, unable to resist at all, and some even shed tears of fear.

Vega's footsteps drew the crowd.

One of the bold children raised his head slightly, but he was kicked by the soldier guarding him and immediately lowered his head, not daring to raise his head and look around out of curiosity.

"Deputy Company Commander. ”

"Here!"

A man in his thirties wearing a military uniform hurriedly ran over and saluted: "Company commander, you can count it, all the documents of this contact point are hidden in the basement, and we have collected them without missing a piece, but because there are too many children here, we can't tell which is a spy of the United Kingdom and which is not a spy of the United Kingdom, so we can only ask the company commander to come over and think of a way." ”

Vega did not answer positively.

He smiled coldly and said, "Your Excellency Deputy Company Commander, please answer me, what is the order we received." ”

"Yes. ”

The deputy company commander straightened his chest, although his military rank was still above Vega, but the orders of his superiors needed to be absolutely obeyed: "Receive the order of the regimental headquarters, before 23:59 tonight, carry out a large-scale purge of the United Kingdom spy organization contact point in the Jeonbuk District, no matter who obstructs it, the method of first punishment and then evidence collection will be adopted, and no one will be left!"

"Good. ”

Vega looked into the eyes of the deputy company commander and said, "Deputy company commander, please tell me, do you know what to do now?"

The deputy company commander stammered, "Words, that's the case, but, but they're all children......

"Adjutant!"

Vega interrupted the deputy company commander: "You come and tell me what the order of the regimental headquarters is. ”

"Report to the company commander, it's not a stay!" replied the adjutant immediately.

"That's right, it's a no-stay!"

Vega handed the adjutant's standard spear to the deputy company commander: "Deputy company commander, please carry out the order." ”
