”Children, who will I take you to get revenge for? Is it for His Majesty? Is it for our empire? ”
”Yes, of course there is such a reason … But... ”We are truly going to avenge ourselves. In this war that has caused the collapse of the heaven and earth, we, who have sacrificed our entire lives for the empire, are the real unlucky ones!”
”Those dirty bugs stabbed us in the back, causing us to lose this war... But is it really just a simple war? ”
”What we lost wasn't war, but the well-being and future of our three hundred thousand brothers!”
Tears streamed down McMahon's face as he passionately said, ”The emperor is gone, the empire is no more … ”Who else would admit to your military exploits in the past?”
”Who will admit that you deserve three times the military allowance? So many trophies for the auction, the final settlement, who will settle it for us? ”
”We have suffered so much in the POW camp, who can compensate us?”
”No, these are all gone … and even your pensions... ”
The marshal could not continue any longer. He wiped his tears on the horse's back and whispered, ”God knows how many they will get. It's not even certain if they will admit it or not!”
”Wuwuwu …” You guys have been fighting with me for half a lifetime... I can't let you all end up without a pension! ”
”When the time comes, I can't let you people starve to death! ”Sob, sob, sob …”
The marshal was bawling in front of the tens of thousands of veterans. He had really fallen in love with the soldiers.
Patriotism, the honor of the military... This could boost the morale of the soldiers, but it was still in their own interests to mobilize them!
Through the old marshal's analysis, these low-level officials finally understood what they had lost!
There won't be another farm in our hometown of 50 mu, and the dream of marrying a young and beautiful woman as a wife will also be shattered!
You even have to spend the money on the journey home!
Fighting in the army for a lifetime! In the end, he might not even be able to keep his old age pension!
This time, all the soldiers were in an uproar. Before this, no one told them about this, but these soldiers were foolish enough to think that if they didn't fight, they would just go home and farm!
It never occurred to me that a new government would recognize the institutions of your former empire.
Especially this military system, what could they do if they wanted to reform it? The money bag is in the hands of the Congress, so they won't give you any money.
The soldiers looked at each other in dismay. Many of them recalled their eighteen or nineteen years old joining the army, and their faces had turned pale. They could not help but feel a sense of sorrow!
”Marshal!” ”How did we end up like this …”
”All because we lost this war! Wasn't it because the empire had collapsed? Wasn't it because the Emperor was harmed by those traitors? ”
”There is no empire, there is no king …” We have become rootless grass! An orphan with no one to rely on! ”
”Who is the most insidious enemy of all these people? The thugs in Paris, the traitors of the Paris Commune who are not willing to be loyal to their homeland! ”
