Chapter 34

The lights are on.

The current time is about 19:00 in the evening.

After a busy day of official duties, Raglan walked out of the barracks on time.

He is a brigadier general with real power and is currently serving in the Fifth Division of the Third Army.

Unlike other officers who like to live in the barracks 24 hours a day, he strictly separates work and life, and is now living in a one-bedroom dormitory assigned to him by the army. The dormitory is located near East Street, North District, and the interior is quite for crude.

Raglan didn't hold back.

Although his monthly salary is as high as more than 2000 gold coins, he can buy a luxurious big house with just 1/10 of it, but he is not a person who likes extravagance and waste. Most of his salary is spent on buying combat skills and equipment.

Of course, in addition to buying combat skills and equipment, he has another expense—charity.

Perhaps because of his civilian background, he is very sympathetic to the weak. Every month Raglan will take 400 gold coins from his salary to fund the orphanage and buy food for the nearby street children.

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. They obviously have huge tax revenues every year, but they leave the street children on the street alone. That is the future of the empire!

Raglan knew he couldn't influence the government.

He only does what he can, which is to spend 300 gold coins to keep the nearby orphanage from closing down, and another 100 gold coins are used to buy food for the nearby street children to ensure their basic living conditions.

A total of 400 gold coins per month does not affect him much.

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

"Master, may I ask whether you should go home directly today or..."

The guard asked cautiously. In terms of his personal duties, he didn't want this officer who didn't like to bring too many guards to run around. Although the officer had the strength of a high-ranking professional, idlers and others could hardly hurt him.

"Go and see the kids in the slums."

Raglan looked at the sky and said, "Today is the first snow in Kareni. The children must have been frozen to death. Let's go to the clothing store to buy some warm clothes and send them to the slums."

While speaking, Raglan walked forward on his own initiative.

The guard gave a wry smile helplessly, and could only lead the subordinates behind him to follow Raglan's footsteps.

He still has a lot of admiration for the chief's behavior. Standing in such a high position, being able to pity the weak is not something that everyone can do. Take him for example, even if he is paid a high salary, he is not willing to give a copper coin For street children.

slums.

This is one of the places Vega is most familiar with.

He did not expect to return here after a year, and this time was different from the last time he passed by the professional union. This time he stood in front of a dilapidated house in a slum, which was also the place where he lived last year .

The house has four floors.

Basement, first floor, second floor...

Back then, he lived on the first floor with a few fellow street children, because the upper floor was where the head of the street children organization lived. Turn in 10% of the harvest.

What happens if you don't pay?
If you don't pay, then you can either choose to leave the ghetto or choose to be beaten.

Only the bottom-level companions can hug each other for warmth, but in the final analysis, they are just using each other.

"Sir, it's here."

The adjutant's words interrupted Veigar'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 correct." Adjutant Charles glanced at the messenger beside him.

The messenger immediately stepped forward and said to Vega: "Commander, this is the second contact point we need to clean up. The deputy commander has already led people to arrest everyone in the house, but because there are too many children in the house, , the company commander can't tell which are the spies of the enemy country and which are just innocent children, so I need you to decide for yourself."

"This kind of trivial matter also needs me to decide?" Veigar almost laughed out loud.

A deputy company commander, an officer of the empire, wouldn't he dare to do anything because of his sad kindness towards the child. Although he was once a member of this place, he didn't have any good feelings for anyone here.

poor person must have something mean.

It doesn't matter if you don't have extraordinary talents, but you don't even have the determination to die. Parasites who live only on the mercy of others should have been buried as soon as possible. Their existence will only cause the empire to lose more resources.

Da da da.

Veigar walked into the house.

In the hall, about 30 soldiers with standard weapons were guarding a group of children. There seemed to be about 90 children in this group. Tears from fear.

Veigar's footsteps attracted everyone.

One of the brave children raised his head slightly, but was kicked by the guarding soldier next to him and immediately lowered his head, never daring to raise his head to look around out of curiosity.

"Deputy company commander."

"To!"

A man in his 30s wearing a military uniform hurried over to salute and said, "Company commander, you are here. All the documents of this contact point are hidden in the basement, and we have recovered everything, but because the children here There are too many, we can't tell which is the spy of the United Kingdom and which is not, so we can only ask the company commander to come over and think of a way."

Veigar didn't answer directly.

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

"Yes."

The deputy company commander raised his chest. Although his rank is still higher than that of Vega, the orders of his superiors must be absolutely obeyed: "Receive the order of the regiment headquarters, and contact the contact point of the United Kingdom spy organization in the whole northern district before 23:59 tonight. Carry out a large-scale cleansing operation, no matter who obstructs, the method of execution first and then evidence collection will be adopted, and no one will be left behind!"

"very 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: "That's true, but, but they are all children..."

"adjutant!"

Veigar interrupted the deputy company commander: "Come and tell me what the order of the regiment headquarters is."

"Report to the company commander, no one will stay!" The adjutant immediately replied.

"That's right, no one left!"

Veigar handed the lieutenant's standard spear to the deputy company commander: "Deputy company commander, please execute the order."

　I just found out that there are actually 1800 recommendation votes this week! !Don't say anything, everyone is so hardworking. My salted fish will have two milks today. The first one will be served first. Since there is no time during the day, the second one will be around 10:[-] in the evening.
