Chapter 509 (2/2)
”You are from the Duke bout family. Don't care about the gains and losses in front of you. The reputation has been earned enough. We can compensate the soldiers and their families in terms of money. After returning to Britain, he put down his work, settled the wounded soldiers, and visited the relatives of the soldiers who died in the war. ”
”In short, if you want to make great achievements in the army, you must give up some things. As long as you have power, it's never difficult to get money. We can sponsor some if necessary, but don't take some money. ”
Paulson bout knew that taking money from them was equivalent to taking money from baozixuan. It was not a glorious thing for an active duty officer of the British Empire to find a businessman to take money. In that way, you can't even be tough in front of others. Now it seems that you don't have enough money, you'd better find some at home. If you want your men to work hard for you, you must pay something.
After sailing at sea for half a month, the task force finally returned to the British military port of Portsmouth; This is the home port of the Royal Navy.
Today's Portsmouth military port can be said to be a sea of people. Enthusiastic people want to enjoy the style of imperial soldiers. We want to see the legendary major Paulson bout for the first time.
The queen and her husband also came to the military port to welcome the victorious soldiers, including their son.
John fedhouse came to the queen and her husband as the commander-in-chief of the task force and said, ”Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief of the task force of the British Empire, the Royal admiral John fedhouse, led the fleet back victoriously. I hereby reply to you.”
Queen: ”Your Excellency, the general has worked hard all the way. The victory depends on the general's command and valiant fighting. On behalf of all the people of the British Empire, I thank you. It is because of you that the British Empire can still stand at the top of the world.”
Next, John fedhouse began to introduce the main officers and their achievements. This is the military's highest light moment, but also to let the people understand their efforts. The British have a tradition that the most important people come out last.
After all the people in front introduced, John fedhouse said to the microphone, ”major Paulson bout, commander of the 12th Marine battalion of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, the third son of Duke bout, is 29 years old; Unmarried. Captured South Georgia during the Falkland Islands campaign; Raiding the presidential palace of Argentina; Capture the Afghan army headquarters in the Falkland Islands and capture the highest commander of the Afghan army alive. ”
In fact, the introduction of birth means the royal family, so that the people can see how the royal family and nobles do when the empire is in danger. Duke bout is an old aristocrat in Britain. It is admirable that he can send his son to the battlefield. Now he has great courage to carry out such dangerous actions every time. At least it can eliminate some misunderstandings about the royal family and aristocracy.
Introducing unmarried is John fedhouse's personal meaning, which is to let the people and young girls pay attention to the soldiers. Now it's too difficult for soldiers to find girlfriends or get married.
John fedhouse's plan was not in vain. The girls at the scene screamed when they knew that Paulson bout was unmarried. This is a real knight, the bravest man in the British Empire. With good background and vigorous posture, it can be said that he is an ideal candidate for prince charming.
The celebration lasted three hours to end, but to everyone's surprise, the queen and the prime minister finally discussed and decided to promote Paulson bout to brigadier general of the Royal Navy of the British Empire. It can be said that no one in the history of the British army has been promoted so quickly.
Just when the people wanted to enjoy the color of brigadier general, it was incredible that brigadier general Paulson bout disappeared, and many high-class dances could not see his shadow at all. It's amazing that a young man can keep his heart. Everyone wants to know what our brigadier general is doing.
Paulson bout accepted Hahn's suggestion and began to go door to door to comfort the soldiers killed in the war; They gave all their rewards to their families. It can be said that at this time, the British military had not paid pensions, and bout had walked in front of them.
