Chapter Seventy-Six: Military Merit Medals, Monuments, and Memorial Day
Long Chuan then asked, "Dad, mother, do the soldiers in the army count military merits?"
Long Zheng said: "Of course it will. Otherwise, who will fight the enemy?"
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, can you tell the child how military merit is calculated in the army?"
Long Zheng thought for a moment and said: "The method of calculating military merits in the army is relatively complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while. Chuan'er, you want to ask those ordinary soldiers about the calculation method of military merit, right?"
Long Chuan nodded and replied, "Yes, Dad." The child wanted to know how men from poor families like those in Xihe calculated their military merits after enlisting in the army. ”
Long Zheng said: "The military merits of ordinary soldiers, in addition to their qualifications and personal bravery, mainly depends on how many demon beasts they can kill and injure when resisting the attack of demon beasts. ”
Long Chuan asked, "And then?"
Long Zheng said: "The demon beast is huge and extremely difficult to kill. Ordinary ordinary soldiers, if they can kill a demon beast alone, they will definitely be promoted by at least one level. However, when killing demon beasts, most of them are in the smallest group or even the smallest group, and they jointly kill demon beasts. One soldier is five soldiers, and one is ten soldiers. Otherwise, it is too difficult and too risky. ”
Long Chuan then asked, "And then?"
Long Zheng said: "If a team joins forces to kill a demon beast, all the soldiers of the army will be rewarded. Of course, when it comes to each person, it is up to the captain to decide according to the different performances of each person in this team. ”
Long Chuan asked again, "And then?"
Li Yun sneered and said, "Chuan'er, where did you come from so much?"
After Long Chuan grinned, Long Zheng said, "Chuan'er, what else do you want to know?"
The dragon legend said: "Dad, the child understands that whether these soldiers are promoted to the next level or rewarded, their military salaries will definitely be increased, right?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Long Chuan asked, "And then?" As soon as the words came out, Long Chuan hurriedly added: "Dad, what do you mean by the child, there are no other rewards?"
Long Zheng said: "This is already a reward for meritorious deeds. Chuan'er, what do you want to say?"
The dragon legend said: "Dad, the child is wondering, can we give these meritorious soldiers some medals or something like that, so that they can feel more face." ”
Long Zheng touched his chin and said, "You mean the medal? ”
Long Chuan muttered in his heart: "It turns out that Dad knows about the medal? ”
The dragon legend said, "Yes, Daddy. The child felt that if those meritorious soldiers could wear medals, whether in the army or when they returned home to visit relatives, they would definitely feel very honored. ”
Li Yun said: "Brother Zheng, I think this method is good. This doesn't cost a lot of money, but it can make meritorious soldiers feel more comfortable in their hearts, and it can also inspire those who don't have medals. ”
Long Zheng nodded again, and said to Long Legend: "Chuan'er, you go on, what else do you think?"
The dragon legend said: "Dad, mother, this medal, we can call it a military merit medal." According to different levels of military merit, it can be made into different levels of military merit medals, such as first-class meritorious medals and second-class meritorious service medals. For soldiers who wear military medals, we can also give them some other rights. For example, when you see an official, you don't bow down, you don't kneel when you enter the government, and so on. In the unfortunate event that these soldiers who have received military merit medals are killed or injured, their military merit medals can be inherited by their families, so that they can enjoy similar treatment. If we can, we can even consider giving the soldiers some relief to their families according to the number of military medals they have received and the level of their rank. ”
When Long Zheng heard this, he got up from his chair, clenched his right hand into a fist, struck it in his left hand, and said excitedly and loudly: "This method is good! With this military merit medal, the soldiers will definitely forge ahead." Even if you usually practice, you will be more serious and hardworking. ”
Li Yun glanced at Long Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, you sit down first and listen to Chuan'er finish speaking." ”
Long Zheng hurriedly sat down and said to Long Legend: "Chuan'er, hurry, if you have any ideas, say them together!"
Long Chuan sweated for a moment and said, "Dad, the fallen soldiers, in addition to the pension, is there anything else?"
Long Zheng said: "No. However, these things you just said will be carefully considered by the father. ”
The dragon legend said: "Dad, what does the child mean, after the soldiers are killed, what will happen to the future?"
When Long Zheng heard this, his face suddenly became heavy, and he said, "Chuan'er, every time the demon beast attacks the city, the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties. After the demon beast was defeated, the remains of many soldiers could not be found at all. Either the whole thing was devoured by the demon beast, or it was attacked by the demon beast and was mutilated. After cleaning the battlefield, the collected corpses of soldiers are usually sent outside the city to be buried immediately to prevent the emergence of the plague. ”
Long Chuan sighed and said, "Dad, the child understands. What about these fallen soldiers, do we have a roster of them in the Long family or other places in Dongcheng?"
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Yes! These soldiers all died fighting for my Dongcheng. We can't do more for them, but we keep their roster. Since the ancestor of my Long family won the position of city lord, every battle, my Long family has kept the list of fallen soldiers. ”
When Long Zheng heard this, he immediately said: "Dad, the child wants to erect a monument for these soldiers. ”
Li Yun asked: "Erect a monument?" Chuan'er, what kind of monument do you want to erect? With so many fallen soldiers, how many monuments do you have to erect? Where do you erect them?"
The dragon legend said: "Mother, the meaning of the child is to erect a monument, not a separate monument for each soldier." ”
Long Zheng frowned and asked, "Chuan'er, you said it in detail, how to erect a monument?"
After Long Chuan told the appearance of the Monument to the People's Heroes that he saw in another time and space, he said: "Dad, Mother, these soldiers are all killed for our Dongcheng and the people of Dongcheng, and they are all heroes. This monument, the child wants to call it the Monument to the Heroes of the East City. In addition to engrave the names of the fallen soldiers on the inscription, the words 'Dongcheng Heroes Monument' and 'Dongcheng Heroes are immortal' are engraved on the front of the stele. ”
Long Chuan originally wanted to say the words "Monument to the People's Heroes" and "The People's Heroes Are Immortal", but after thinking about it, the concept of "people" does not seem to exist in this time and space. If you want to explain these two words, there are too many things involved. I had no choice but to change it secretly.
After Long Chuan finished speaking, seeing that Long Zheng and Li Yun both showed strange looks, sitting on the chair without saying a word, Long Chuan asked a little worriedly: "Dad, mother, is it that the stele that the child said is too big to do?"
Long Zheng got up from his chair and said loudly, "Do it!
While speaking, Long Zheng walked up to Long Chuan, stretched out his big hand and patted him on the shoulder, almost patting Long Chuan into the chair, and said: "Chuan'er, great! My Long family owes these soldiers for too many years! Finally, there is a way for the people of Dongcheng to remember the names of these soldiers, so that these soldiers can be admired by the people of my Dongcheng for eternity! Monument to the heroes of Dongcheng! Heroes of Dongcheng are immortal! Great!"
Li Yun saw Long Chuan sitting on the chair grinning, hurriedly walked to Long Chuan's side, and asked distressedly, "Chuan'er, are you injured?" After that, he turned his head and glared at Long Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, what are you doing so hard to shoot Chuan'er?"
Long Zheng hurriedly asked, "Chuan'er, are you okay?"
Seeing that Long Chuan shook his head, Long Zhengyi stretched out his hand to push Li Yun away, grabbed Long Chuan's arm and asked, "Chuan'er, tell me quickly, is there anything else?"
Seeing that his father's eyes were red, Long Chuan hurriedly shrank his shoulders and said carefully, "Dad, the child still has some small ideas. ”
When Long Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Say!
Li Yun saw that Long Zheng was a little enchanted, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Long Zheng's hand away, took Long Chuan in his arms, and said angrily: "Brother Zheng, are you crazy?!
Long Zheng realized that when he just grabbed Long Chuan, he really didn't control the strength in his hand, and was about to ask Long Chuan if it mattered, Long Chuan shrank into Li Yun's arm and said, "Dad, the child is fine." The child wondered, after this monument was erected, would Dad be able to lead everyone to worship in public. Then, can we set a special public memorial day, and every year on this day to publicly worship these soldiers? ”
Long Zheng immediately said, "Okay! Great! Is there anything else?"
Seeing that his father was about to stretch out his hand again, Long Chuan hurriedly said: "Also, the child is thinking that if the remains of those fallen soldiers can be cremated in the army, not only will there be no danger of an outbreak of the plague, but the ashes of the fallen soldiers can be collected, which will give their families a thought." If you can't find the body, you can give them a little bit of the ashes of other soldiers......"
When Long Zheng heard this, his tiger eyes were full of tears, and he said: "Chuan'er, good, great! After that war, it was not that my father did not want to hand over the bodies of the fallen soldiers to their families, but the appearance of the remains of the soldiers was too tragic. I'm afraid that their families won't be able to stand it, and I'm afraid that there will be no one to collect the bodies of some soldiers!"
