The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Sacramento (9)

This evening, a stack of mail was delivered to the locker. The soldiers who received the letters smiled. Their greeting was not only news of family and relatives, but also account statements from the bank. As balance increases, so does the future of dreams. Gardened homes and tranquil everyday dreams. Hope was a necessity in life.

In that regard, Independent squadrons were considered better than Americans in the safe zone. Compared to people who don't have to live life dangerously well every day. Half of Americans did not have $1,000 before the plague.

Of course, now it's worse than that.

In the last several endings, there have been occasional people who say to winter,

“I feel like my life is more full than it used to be. ”

This was probably one of the reasons why the outside world's audiences envy winter.

The account statements for the winter share were very simple. It's because I haven't spent any money in months. Therefore, the salary plus various allowances and the honorary medalist pension were evenly accumulated and were not negligible. It was why various prospectus were enclosed.

Since the job promotion was confirmed with a full promotion, it was not just Lieutenant Song Jeong-hoon's story, the winter salary was calculated as the highest honorarium for the major class. It was due to the policy of adding memorandums between service uniforms.

There was no letter sent personally. Things that were too many to transport as before. He reported this to civil society several times, but did not see enough effect.

Other deliveries included several days of newspapers. Several riches per day come and turn the news of the safe area to the soldiers, but there is one book left to read slowly.

Two days ago, the whole page was a picture.

MAN OF HONOR

It's a familiar title.

The slightly reduced resolution photograph would have enlarged and calibrated the helmet camera footage of one of the chief of staff on the day of the sly monster hostage drama. In winter, the gas pressure vessel is thrown with the hand on fire. It was captured dynamically. To choose this moment, the publication would have picked and considered frame-by-frame.

On this day, the hostage rescue took place in two other locations besides David's mission.

However, the process was not praised. Because it was violent. Especially the worst.

‘The tram guns are a bit……. ’

He aimed at the place where the hostages were. He fired an armor-piercing round. Of course, it wasn't aimed at, and the hostage was found severely injured in the wreckage. It is said that there is no interruption in life at all. They're being transported to a field hospital right now for treatment.

The commander argued that this was the practical best.

If rescuing the hostage was the best, the worst would be if the hostage died, or if the monster carried the hostage back. I considered the situation to be the worst case scenario. Trickster's a smart guy. The whole point of hostage drama can't be hostage drama. Plus, you show up in a place where retreat is easily blocked. It was a clear trap. "

The situation was unclear.

So I thought, Let's risk the hostages getting hurt or dying. because if the mutant went underground with the hostage, it would eventually be found as a torn corpse or as a mutant. One more thing. The number of Trickster objects is not very high. So the culprit of the hostage drama was most likely also the commander tower of this hereditary mutant group. So we concluded that if we defeated the entity in the first place, whatever trap he was setting, it would be meaningless. the safety of the entire unit, and of the adjacent units. as a result, I was proven right.

As I am confident, the assault of the mutants was not successful in this commander's area. There was an attack, but it was not well controlled. The burning gas barrels that appeared here also exploded from the rear of a group of mutants who were ambushed. The casualties were a few with eardrums out and a few with tinnitus. They were the prize winners, so they won Purpleheart.

"Armor-piercing was a reasonable choice. I was going to destroy the building with unexploded ammunition and force him to give up his hostages. I have to admit, it was reckless. But if I failed, I was prepared to take responsibility as a commander.

And he stated that he sought the opinion of the engineering officer who was on site. How do you shoot where and how do you bring it down to increase the survival rate of hostages under the debris?

"Of course, he said, Lt. Cashier expressed his colors. To be clear, the lieutenant strongly opposed this plan. It was always my decision to be a commander.

It was easy to understand why they emphasized their intentions.

After all, he gave his opinion on my orders, and that was the role of a soldier. I ordered the artillery. As a result, we were able to capture the hostages while simultaneously thrashing the enemy.

“ ……. ”

Winter assumed there would be an intervention here as well. Based on my statement, I would have set out in advance what I would disclose to the press. The battle report wouldn't have been originally written by you either. There are similar experiences in winter. A battle against Captain Harris' forces on the shore of a stormy night. The report on the battle was not written by Winter himself. Captain Raplin, Fort Roberts, released a report that had already been completed, and said after reading it in winter:

“I have fully understood what I have written. ”

Go.

‘But this time is different.... ’

As long as it is not a war crime, the field commander does not have to defend himself in the media.

After all, it was a political matter. What wouldn't have happened had the current regime been so strong.

"Is General Yang alive? A new video of the worst terrorists is discovered.

After the Sacramento feature, the largest printed sentence on the third page stands out. General Yang, of course, meant Yang Yong-bin's publication.

Winter is sure of his death. because there was really no way out. But it was so big that they couldn't find the body. The malicious intent of the publication was still haunting America.

The new footage obtained from prisoners who surrendered the past 9 days was recorded prior to the Chinese military's attack on Calphine 5. That's not proof that General Yang is alive. Experts, however, questioned the results of the analysis of the video. Claims that the date data in the file may have been tampered with. It is also possible that the prisoners are being falsified by the Ministry of Defense's refusal... … "

Interest is more important than conscience for some media outlets.

Knock, knock.

Winter's knock raises your head.

“Come in.”

The informers were Murray and Meriwether, the preliminary clerk. They came to the venerated winter, sitting down, and handed out the paperwork and tablets they needed to pay for. In addition to his share, Murray was originally in charge of operations officers, and Meriwether was in charge of approval for vehicle transportation and supply. Usually, even when the work is computerized, it doesn't go away.

As you briefly read and sign, you will see a newly updated communication at that time.

“The night battle is still limited, right? ”

Murray answers the question of winter.

“Yes, it's difficult to identify the hostages. There's also the risk of a misfire. Critically, the Command is concerned that our nighttime attacks will create chaos for our enemies. You could take hostages. Trickster's radio-frequency doesn't get in the way of day and night, and even though they use wired communications, it's not going to be as easy to control the common variants as it is by day. ”

In an underground environment where transmission and reception are restricted, how Trickster controls a large number of variants.

The question was resolved during a three-day investigation of the war zone. It's because a soldier found a dead mutant with an electrode in his head. The stripped copper wire pierced and entered the exact spot that was mutated to respond to the radio waves. The other end leads to the interior of the hostage building.

There's enough wire in the catacombs to be a material. It was created for that purpose in the first place.

‘But it's too ignorant. ’

Trickster's idea, perhaps, but it can't be done with sophisticated surgery on a meta-human. There were countless signs of failure nearby. Bodies with holes in their skulls. I don't know, but there were probably a lot of people who died from brain damage, too, all burned to death.

Ordinary surgery seems to involve acidic and flammable babies. Embedded the wound by rubbing the flesh from other areas, or from other variants. The life force of the variant is strong, but you probably didn't need to live long in the first place.

I wondered how good the reception of the biophone, which was so badly completed.

“I think it's great. ”

Sergeant Merriweather's voice awakens winter.

“What's great? ”

“The idea of putting wires in your head. ”

Lt. Murray frowned and agreed.

“It means Trickster understands the minimum principle. We also know which parts of the brain have been modified for transmission purposes. I wonder if there are any of them. ”

“We're fighting them. We're winning. ”

Winter returns signed documents with answers. The Informant was interested in the other side instead of going straight out.

“Have you been reading the newspaper? ”

“Yes, I haven't seen him in a while. ”

“You might not want to see the rest of the war on defense. Humans with little regard for military qualifications said I was an expert, and I said some strange nonsense. ”

“Was there anything in particular you disliked? ”

“Why wasn't there? ”

Lieutenant turning over the page. I thought it would be better not to see the rest....

“Here you go.”

Sergeant Merriweather pretends to be careless in the featured article he points out. The first thing that stood out from the perspective of winter was not writing, but character. Photograph of a Republican candidate speaking. He looks like he's grinning with a frown. The explanation was:

"Edgar“ Eddie "Kramer vomits the initial response of the current regime to the war on defense.

"Our military should have protected our citizens first. ”

The initial response was last year when the plague landed on the coast.

The expert opinions below included a dissent against Kramer's claim. The intelligence officer expressed aversion to a supportive position.

“If Canada collapsed at that time, the power lines would have been extended thousands of kilometers east and west. The blockade line was a dream story. When the West Coast pollution became unstoppable, retreating the available power to Canada to the Northwest was a strategically correct and inevitable choice. ”

Surprisingly, Merriweather's boss strongly disagreed.

“But even morally, it's hard to see right. because we might have saved a few more people if we had put that power into the aid of refugees. Even though it was an inevitable choice to protect a wider land and more citizens in the long run, I wonder how much understanding people would be of those who were stranded and waiting for rescue on the beach. ”

“ ……. ”

“At the time, there were aircraft carriers among the forces that were deployed to defend Canada. With the bombing support of your fleet, wouldn't you have saved more civilians on land? ”

“So the blocking line.... ”

The opposition of a blurry intelligence officer was actually political. Mary Weather replied calmly.

“I didn't mean that you were wrong. But since then, we've grown more than 10 million troops. Can't you just say that the defenses of the Northern Borders were not necessarily possible? ”

“ ……. ”

“As long as there is some hope, the U.S. military must not abandon its citizens. Even if it leads to more difficult fights, the country becomes more endangered, and the death of Canadians is witnessed……. That's what I believe. ”

Ironically, the position of the boss was overlapping with the idea of winter. Despite the practical inevitability of discarding a few for many, it is not right.

The issue with supervisors was that the discussion was restricted to U.S. citizens only. It was not Meriweather's fault, however, that it was the profession of a soldier who instilled contradictions in human society.

Q.
