The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Suspension (14)

Is there some other reason? I don't think you're a principalist who's been suspended by the landscape of a commanding officer without a partition. The thought of winter speaks.

“Unlike other animals, I've heard that dogs and cats are also designated to be withdrawn from non-combatant evacuation operations (NEOs). Organism is not allowed as part of the family. ”

“People always come first, so what? ”

“I think it means that dogs and cats are universal pets with that much empathy. That empathy will also help the soldiers here. Do you even use animal communication to treat post-traumatic stress disorders? ”

“Was that really your judgment as a commander? ”

The chiseled warden nods his head.

“I'm talking about the major's last mission. By the time we took the dog in, the operation was still ongoing. It was a matter of secrecy, even for the safety of his men, leaving the mission. Aren't you taking unnecessary risks with inappropriate compassion? ”

“It was a controllable risk. ”

“Why did you accept it? ”

“One of the crew showed signs of psychological instability. ”

“In a hurry?”

“No, but if you abandoned your dog or killed him, there's a good chance you might have a problem. because the dog that I had thrown away had already smelled it and followed it. ”

Apparently, the dog itself was not a problem. It took less than a year for the reinforcements to summon the major, so his combat strength was doubtful. He was ahead of his responsibilities as a commander, but ahead of his young sensibilities.

The general nods slightly.

“I understand.”

“Thank you."

“Then it's their turn to be worse than dogs. You let him live for the same reason? ”

“If you're asking them if they're going to kill them because they're a mental burden, so be it. ”

“It's not? ”

“I couldn't simply kill a man on death row. ”

“Why?”

“The death penalty is a man sentenced to death. Execution isn't the only way to kill someone, is it? The field commander's discretion has determined that enforcement is not right, whether it be for the dead or the dead. With all due respect, I know I have a duty to refuse orders from Satan and myself. ”

The last duty mentioned has been with the Nazis since day one.

He was going to die anyway, and the logic was exactly what Chadwick was talking about.

General Rogers, who looked like a talking machine, was silent. It was a dry and quick conversation that made it hard for winter. Even though it was a question I had anticipated long before I arrived. It would have been a trick to force the general to be honest.

“You speak well. ”

“I'm ready.”

“I'm sure you did.”

Warden Rogers expressed his feelings for the first time.

“I hate that order, too. But at this point, I don't want to waste people and resources managing criminals. You know, there's a lot of soldiers in the yard that need to be taken care of. ”

“I understand.”

“The road to hell is packed with good intentions. ”

“ ……. ”

“A good deed you cannot bear alone is evil. Especially for a commander. Every decision has its men's lives at stake. In war, no matter how good the process is, no matter how bad the outcome, it's useless. ”

You can write a letter to the parents of the dead comrades. Rogers said.

Winter agreed, people have limits. What I told the allies was that it was a method that was unilaterally leaning against winter. If you want anything from me, accept me for who I am. Only those who are confident come to me. I will protect my heart. People who leave don't catch.

“Having a task force assigned to the care of prisoners increases the chance of surviving at least one more. ”

The General has fixed his posture.

“So we can't let them live. If you have any objections, I'd like you to speak up now. ”

“You've already decided, haven't you? ”

“You are an important asset to the U.S. Army. If you're going to lose your grip on this, you'd better avoid it. ”

For some reason, I did not treat winter as a person, but I felt that I treated each of my men's lives thoroughly and objectively in the first place. It's hard to say good or bad.

The winter's credit will be separate for the general, even if he avoids it.

“Whatever you decide to do, I'll do. But I want you to take a look at this first. ”

After a few steps, winter left the children's letters on the desk. A plagued pink paper is placed on the tactical map. The warden looked at it with frowned eyes and looked at the folded letter gradually.

The Complainant sighs and asks.

“What is this? ”

“As you have seen. It's a petition from the kids. When I went to check if the civilians were alive, a prisoner named Manuel Hayes was protecting them. ”

“ ……. ”

“I've heard stories from myself... …. He was hungry and killed for a burger. Of course, even if that's true, there's no reason to feel sorry for them. They even killed their wives and children to get rid of witnesses. But if it wasn't for this guy, the kids at the civilian node I visited would already be infected or eaten by mutants. ”

Warden Rogers read the letter again. And I folded it well.

“I will examine this matter further. ”

The girl you promised Marie you'd do your best, but winter can't do anything else here. It would be counterproductive for someone like Rogers.

“Well done. I'll give you two days off. ”

The warden finishes the conversation.

“A new operation is coming up soon. An act of aggression. Rest and take control of your Independence Squad in two days. I don't think it will be difficult as a soldier with a face. Any questions?"

“Nothing.”

“Very well. The chief of staff will have what they need for the acquisition and operation." ”

That's it. Warden Rogers gestures to go. Winter turned away saluting.

It was dark time when I came out. A Humvee waits for winter, and the passenger is in position. Unlike what I just saw, I was wearing regular combat clothes, not a lone captain. I still have my weapon with me. Just by distinguishing the daily life, we can see that this garrison is very stable.

“I've been waiting.”

Get in. Jin opened the back seat door.

“This is quite new. ”

The driver laughs at the words of winter.

“Little commander…… No, there was no self-driving vehicle until the commander left. In a way, it's all thanks to you. ”

The whole crew was from the Winter Alliance. The soldier who sits next to the winter stiffens like a stone. Hold the gun diagonally and look up 45 degrees in front of you. I was wondering if he was just breathing.

It was Casey Blackwell sitting on the machine gun seat. The wound on his forehead was an impressive Korean adoption child. He is now a member of the legion of Jinsuk. There was no expression, but it was not as dark as before.

“Mr. Jinsuk. Is it far from here? ”

I frowned at the question of winter.

“Commander, you shouldn't call me that in front of the soldiers. ”

“Well, okay. Major Park Jin-seok. This is also pretty awkward. ”

“The lieutenant did it for a reason with me. It wasn't much, but it was hard to get used to. ”

The business card of the Winter Alliance, which became an officer, was no longer meaningful. You won't be needing that anymore. In the courtyard of an Independent squad of only allies, other organizations won't stand in the way.

“A major garrison will be here shortly. Even though the outposts are separate from each other, they don't stray from the communal space. Education is a message of the Vietnam War. They say the bunkers on the blockade line are arranged the same way. ”

A common weapon is a heavy machine gun or a high-speed grenade launcher. If each garrison had each other within range of the communal aircraft, it was also good to have firepower support and maneuvers in place at the same time.

“But, Commander, I heard you brought the death row inmates. ”

Again with this story. Winter nods.

“Yes. They're at the civilian stronghold. They must have escaped when the wire collapsed. ”

“Did you talk to the Master about that? ”

“Well, how did you know? ”

“Little Commander... I'm sorry. I think the commander would. ”

Winter made me smile awkward. On the contrary, Jinsuk's expression was firm. It was a smile from the beginning, but now it's even thinner. The other soldiers seemed more tense.

“Honestly, I'm worried. ”

At the words of Jinsuk, winter leans in.

“You think I'll be out in the snow? ”

“Sort of. A lot of people are betting their lives on you... Commander. ”

This side is no different than before. Jin wanted the alliance people to be the top priority long ago. Caution, if I borrow the words of Lt. Gen. Sierra, I have to protect it from my fence. The world is too big and one cannot be held accountable. It's a world beyond human limits……

“Don't worry too much. Director Rogers didn't seem offended. ”

“I'm not just talking about this. ”

At least the attitude of Jinsuk became more respectful than before.

“A lot of dirty things happened in Fort Roberts while the little commander was gone. Especially when the commander is known to be dead... ”

Jinsuk blurred the end of the sentence. It was somewhat speculative.

“I couldn't do anything. ”

“ …… ”

“Not unless you're the commander. What kind of alliance is that without a small commander, everything is a piece of shit. There were no human horses. ”

Winter did not indicate its title. These are words that you didn't even notice. Ever since the reunion, I felt like I knew why my face was bad. Now, when I look back, I also felt helpless.

“So this is a personal affair...... I want you to be a little more selfish. ”

I didn't have to talk back. I'm satisfied just by giving it away.

You will hear more stories at the end of the year. No, you should listen.

An Independent garrison could be identified from afar. The soldiers' skin color. It was still sunrise. Soldiers who find Humvees approaching stop and gather.

At last, winter felt like I had come back to the story I had made.

# Q&A

Q. How long did it take Private @ Winter to reach Major? A year?

A. It took less than a year to get out of here.

Q. I'm not following the flow of the Apocalypse... Did Eura lamp come back to the camp in the middle of winter?

A. No. He asked for his opinion in winter when he said he would send an Independent squadron from the Winter Alliance to FOB Olema.

Q. Pick up some soap: Are you a full-time writer???

A. Yes. I'm living my life as a novel.

Q. Ronaph: What is the rate of rebirth for the troops deployed in an apparent liberation operation? This chapter will be cleared by the end, but I'm curious. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when we're done with the expansion.

A. The odds are not that low, given the percentage because there are so many troops deployed from the start.

Q. Rumen: Is Bahar... Ethiopian?

A. No. The castle called Sing is on the other side.

Q. Ghost Cane: Do I have to understand or write in Chinese to emphasize the oriental right when I sign @? The protagonist is a Korean American, and I think the recent nuclear incident will make China look bad... but I don't think I'll be left with a single letter to emphasize the oriental world.

A. Burrows: Korean is only spoken in Korea, but Korean is officially used in China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, and North Korea, Taiwan and Singapore are also recognized as Korean culture. It seems natural to choose a more inclusive option, given that the reason for emphasizing being Asian in the first place is the policy of the United States authorities to avoid rumors such as nuclear events or plague Chinese origins.

Burrows is right. A little bit more, I want you to think about it from the perspective of the Americans. People in East Asia don't even know where they are. The Hangul language is also strange.
