Chapter 3: Folk Affairs (1)

Silva is a 28-year-old woman, born in the United States, studying at xx middle school and xxx university, and her occupation is...

All in all, she is just an ordinary American woman. According to the selection criteria of the Hope, she is actually not qualified to board the spacecraft.

But she has a good husband, who is a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. He protected her and their daughter during the apocalypse, and at the same time sheltered more than ten neighbors. He was selected as one of the Hope soldiers.

One member.

When the doomsday came, although Silva was very scared, she was able to stay with her husband, which gave her great comfort. The only pity was that her three-year-old daughter would face the doomsday at such a young age. Every time she thought about it, she felt sad

She was in agony.

But after boarding the Hope and living in an independent military community on the fifth floor, her pain eased a lot, especially with the successful completion of the space jump of the Hope, the feeling of escaping and being with her family.

At the same time, there was a sense of happiness that her daughter could grow up smoothly, which suddenly filled her heart. Therefore, since Silva came to the Hope, she was always smiling, just like when she lived in a small town in the United States.

Same.

This situation lasted until a few days ago...

"Dear Mrs. Rawston, I am sending you this letter on behalf of the 3rd Squadron of the Government Marines of the USS Hope. I would like to thank your husband for what he has done for the USS Hope, for the USS Hope's government, and for us, the 120,000 remnants of humanity.

, we will never forget his heroic battle on the desert planet, and we will never forget his contribution to us. Because of his sacrifice, we rescued 341 technicians and scientists, and rescued 70

Four brave soldiers and their comrades, here, please let us..."

Silva looked at the letter almost in despair. She was too familiar with such letters. As the wife of a U.S. Marine Corps soldier, she also knew some other military relatives. She had seen these soldiers sacrifice their lives.

The scene after those family members received this death notice, but they never thought that one day she would also receive this death notice.

At that moment, Silva cried so much that she almost fainted. If her three-year-old daughter hadn't pulled her skirt tightly, she might have been lying in the hospital at this moment.

Until her daughter held her hand and said in a childish voice, "Mom, don't cry." At that moment, Silva hugged her daughter tightly. At the same time, this weak woman burst out with incomparable strength and courage.

If you want to live, you need to raise your daughter, and you need to let her know that her father is a hero!

For the continuation of the last remnant of mankind, he sacrificed himself!

No, that alone is not enough, he should be given a decent funeral! A funeral provided by the government! This is the government's obligation...

My husband died for the government, and he should receive treatment worthy of his honor. At the same time, as his wife, and the children he left behind, they should also receive care from the government, including the future education of my daughter...

With this idea in mind, and the strength and courage in her heart, Silva began to contact other family members of fallen soldiers.

In the battle on the desert planet, nearly three hundred soldiers died. Most of them had relatives, either parents, wives and children. The total number of family members of these fallen soldiers was about a thousand, and Silva was just one of them.

We are actively contacting them. Today is a day for the families of these fallen soldiers to gather and discuss.

The location is a collective movie screening room. At this moment, hundreds of people have arrived, and the number of people arriving is still increasing.

"Mrs. Jelliver, Mrs. Ellis, I'm sorry, I'm a little late." As soon as Silva entered the venue, she immediately saw two ladies walking towards her, and she immediately said to them.

The two ladies, one is a black mixed race, the other is a pure white man. The black mixed race woman is about 24 or 25 years old, and the other is about 30 years old. They both looked at Silva with a smile.

At the same time, Mrs. Jerryver, who is black and mixed-race, smiled and asked: "Silva, have you collected so much information?"

Silva was holding a lot of documents in her hands. She allowed the two ladies to take some of the documents, and then said: "Yes, some of them are about the regulations on the treatment of the fallen and their families in the US military."

, some are about the U.S. Constitution, and some are about the situation of soldiers in international conventions. By the way, there are also a few about Chinese laws, but they are very few and not very detailed... As you know, the captain is a Chinese

soldier."

Both ladies smiled, and the white Mrs. Ellis immediately said: "Yes, he is a Chinese soldier, but he is also a hero. He saved more than 120,000 of us and gave us order and justice...at least for now.

We haven't found anything particularly unfair. At the same time, it was only through his efforts that we escaped death on the desert planet. He is a qualified leader."

Silva was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "You misunderstood me, Mrs. Ellis. I know that he is a hero and a qualified leader. What he is doing is fair and fair, and there is no reason for his skin color or race."

As for the special treatment, I have no intention of targeting him, but as you know, he is Chinese after all, and Chinese laws may affect him, so I prepared these documents."

Both of them nodded in agreement and chatted with Silva about these legal documents. However, they knew that Silva had gone to the lower three floors many times for these legal documents, looking for relevant legal experts.

The United States, Europe, Asia, China, and even international law, these things consumed her a lot of energy, but she finally sorted them out, and now is the time to use them.

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 their bodies were not even retrieved. Moreover, they all have children born to their husbands, so they are also

The most active people hope that the funeral of their husbands and the treatment of their children can be settled.

Not long after, Shivar walked to the stage. She looked at the nearly 200 family members of the fallen soldiers below, but she frowned tightly. However, she didn't have time to ask any more questions at this moment, so she could only force a smile and speak into the microphone.

Said: "Everyone, I think I have not forgotten anything. I have notified almost all the families of the fallen soldiers before, but... why are there so many people who are not here?"

The family members below were very surprised. In fact, they were very concerned about this gathering. Many of them even prepared some documents and files like Silva, and made a lot of efforts for this gathering, so when Hilva

Wa said that they were so surprised when many family members did not show up... Why is this happening? Those are their own relatives, either their sons or their husbands. Do they not love their relatives?

At this time, the faces of the dozen or so people sitting there looked a little strange. One of the women stood up and said, "Sorry, Mrs. Thomson, I think I can explain something."

Thomson is the surname of Silva's husband, so others call her Mrs. Thomson.

After hearing this, Silva immediately looked at the woman. She was a yellow Asian, about 28 or 29 years old, wearing a pair of glasses, a very beautiful woman.

"Is it Mrs. Manos? Do you know why the other family members didn't come?" Silva asked with concern.

The Asian woman nodded, took the microphone handed to her and said: "You should know that I am a Chinese immigrant, originally a Chinese, and more than 30% of the soldiers killed this time were Chinese soldiers.

Most of the people who came here were their family members. Well, I don’t know how to describe it, but every word I said here was not meant to denigrate any political system, any government, or any nation.”

She looked at the people around her and continued: "They may be waiting, or they may be afraid. This is what I think is the reason."

The people around were very strange and even incomprehensible. Another old man in his fifties stood up. He also took the microphone and asked: "Can you tell us? What are they waiting for? We can understand this.

After all, the government of the Hope has not yet reached a conclusion on the soldier’s funeral, but we are gathering together to discuss it just to help them get this conclusion, and even future legal provisions. What we are very curious about is... they are afraid

What?"

Mrs. Manos hesitated for a moment, and finally said with the attention of the people around her: "They are afraid of the government... You know, because of the chaos in the last days, they were frightened a lot, just like us, we were all frightened.

Fright, the kind of fright in a state of anarchy and chaos..."

Another black woman also stood up and asked: "Yes, but doesn't the Hope currently have a government? And order is maintained well. In many cases, this government pays too much attention to order, almost infringing on civil rights.

So they don’t need to be afraid of the threat of disorder.”

Mrs. Manos finally gritted her teeth and plucked up the courage to say: "What they are afraid of is this government with strict order. The government of the Hope now is a dictatorial organization, just like... just like their previous society,

And this is a matter related to the military. In their original society, military matters were directly decided by the government, and they were not given the right or opportunity to protest at all, so they have become accustomed to it... and it is more likely that

, now that the Hope is in a dangerous universe, they are worried about the serious consequences of their protest. What they said to me is this, they still have children to raise, and their current life is already very good,

Don’t want change…that’s what they’re afraid of!”

The people around were in an uproar. An old man in his sixties stood up and said angrily: "There is such a thing. This funeral will probably lead to the hope that the government will deal with the same thing in the future."

It is a routine, and our relatives are included in it, how can we not participate? We are not committing a crime, but we are protecting and executing our own rights. It is impossible for the government to do anything to us!"

"Yes, and the major is a just hero, he can definitely..."

"We are helping the government improve its regulations. How could something serious happen..."

"Yes, Mrs. Manos, did they understand something wrong..."

These people from Europe and America were all talking about something. Suddenly, at this moment, the door of the venue suddenly opened, and two members of the Black Star Team, Lieutenant, walked in from the outside, followed by ten people.

Many soldiers.

When these soldiers appeared, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone watched them quietly. However, the Asian yellow man, the Chinese Mrs. Manos, had fear on her face, and even her body trembled slightly.

Two members of the Black Star Team, the leader of which was Liu Bai, led the team directly to the audience. Then he walked onto the stage alone. He first smiled at Silva and took her microphone.

, then he saluted everyone present, and then said: "The major ordered that the most grand star burial ceremony be held in the mourning of 120,000 people, and at the same time, a certain hall on the fifth floor should be renovated and transformed.

The Memorial Hall of Human Heroes records the lives and names of fallen soldiers so that our descendants can commemorate them from generation to generation and remember their contribution to the continuation of our humanity."

"In addition, regarding the treatment of all family members of those killed in action, I hope that the government will accept your suggestions in the next week. Please rest assured that you will receive all the honors left by your husbands and sons, and your children will receive

With the best education, you will be able to continue to live in an independent community on the fifth floor, and your children will be proud to say to others..."

"My father is a hero who sacrificed his life for the continuation of mankind!"

The venue was silent for a long time, and finally, loud cheers broke out. Everyone was celebrating as if they had won a huge battle, but the Chinese Mrs. Manos was already crying with joy, crying like
Chapter completed!
