The retired life of these soldiers is mostly unsatisfactory. Although they are still far away from suicide, according to Qin Shiou's observation, these people usually have suicidal thoughts at least occasionally.

  From the crazy looks of some people when they drink, he can see that they have a tendency to self-destruct.

The soldiers stayed together very noisy. Father Hickson left his shop after preparing the food. Before leaving, he called Qin Shiou over and said, "Listen, boy, help me take good care of my home. I don’t want to After I came back, I found that my lovely old den was turned into a pigsty by these guys! And, seriously, if it wasn't for your sake, I wouldn't accept these guys!"

  Qin Shiou gave the old man a hug, and said with a smile: "I know that the old man is good to me, and I am very impressed."

Father Hickson laughed happily when he heard this, and patted his face and said: "You know this, okay, let's continue playing with your young guys, I hope those **** are drunk and drunk. In the bottle."

  Qin Shiou did not stay here for long. At 11 o'clock, the commemorative activities of Les Invalides officially began. Byrd turned the TV set in the restaurant to the maximum, and the group stood up and watched the commemorative activities on the screen.

  Canada’s capital Ottawa holds a grand commemorative event in front of the war memorial at this moment of each year.

  How grand is their commemoration? The British royal family will have to send someone to preside over the event. The Prime Minister will review the troops in front of the war memorial accompanied by members of Parliament. Of course, it is not a Chinese-style military parade, but this already shows that they attach importance to the event.

The    ceremony began with the sound of a salute. Representatives of elite troops appeared on the scene, but only infantry. The navy, land and air forces were all formed into honor guards to be reviewed.

  Qin Shiou looked at and shook his head, Bird asked, "Do you think this is bad?"

  The official Qin said frankly: "Looking back, I will show you the scene of our country's military parade. You can find the gap."

  Simply reviewed the troops, and then the participants sang the national anthem together. Several fighters flew over Capitol Hill. The Scottish military band was wearing tartan skirts blowing bagpipes, and countless small national flags were waving in the hands of the people. This is exactly the same as the domestic military parade.

  Ferguson started and sang: "Hey! Flanders battlefield, red poppies-poppies are in full bloom. Our **** place is now full of crosses..."

  Others followed and sang: "The skylark flapped its wings and screamed. The gunshots are rare. We used to have time and some family affection, and we suddenly passed away from the world. Now we sleep on the battlefield. Our hands are lowered."

  "Brother, please receive the torch and continue to fight to the end. If we renounce our last wish, how can we rest in peace even if the flowers bloom all over the field?"

  "This poem became famous for a while, and some people began to use poppies to commemorate the dead soldiers. This is also the reason why poppies became a symbol of memory of fallen soldiers..."

  Nothing happened to Qin Shiou next, he quietly left, and put the poppy flower he wore before on the table at the door. This is a tradition. After the event, people will present poppies at the event site.

  In the afternoon, Bird and the others went back to the fishing grounds to work. Qin Shiou said, “You don’t need to be so hurry.

   Nelson smiled bitterly: "What is there to talk about? We have to work hard and make money. Now I was killed very badly."

  Qin Shiou frowned and said, "What do you mean? You gambled?"

   Nelson shook his head and said, "No, it's not gambling, it's giving money to survive."

  Bird explained to Qin Shiou that the money to survive was an agreement between some of their close comrades, and they went to the front together. At that time, it was agreed that if anyone survives, then we must do everything we can to help the families of the war dead or disabled.

   Both of them and Matt and others are comrades-in-arms, and Matt did not find a job after retiring. There is no social security fund, and they are almost supported by people like them.

  Qin Shiou asked: "Then how much do you need to pay?"

   Bird said: "There is no regulation, I gave 60,000 yuan."

   Nelson shrugged and said: "Me too, 60,000 yuan, half a year bonus, not too much, right?"

  Black Knife and others said they should be less. Everyone only put out 25,000 yuan, because there were twelve people in their mercenary team, only one died in battle and one was injured, and ten people were under less pressure.

  Qin Shiou was surprised, and said, "Wow, this is not a small amount of money. Each of you is twenty-five thousand? Those ten people are two-five thousand?"

   Black Knife said: "Why? We make a lot of money and give a lot, and some brothers can't take care of it, so they don't have to pay."

  Qin Shiou asked: "Then you must be responsible for this part of the money? When will you have to take care of them?"

  Seven people were calm, Bird said indifferently: "They die or we die."

Qin Shiou couldn't understand it, Bird and the others also understood this, so they laughed: "This was the agreement at the time, BOSS, don't look at those **** who said that they would rather die on the battlefield, in fact, it was just their nonsense! Throw them on the battlefield again. Last time, they must have wanted to live more than anyone!"

   "If we survive, we have to fulfill our promise to the dead, and we can't deceive the dead's money, BOSS, so we all despise ourselves." Shouqi bag smiled.

   "Of course, if we are not following you to eat meat, if we can't eat bread ourselves, then we will definitely not do it. Then we will have to rely on others to help us." Hei Dao added.

  Qin Shiou suddenly realized that among these people, it can be said that there is an intangible insurance. Whoever mixes well will maintain this insurance to ensure that the brothers at that time can at least eat and live after they retired.

  This is something he can't understand. The culture is different, and the experience is different.

  The soldiers continue to be in charge of security work, and Bird and Nelson continue to teach the newcomers the knowledge of working at sea.

  Qin Shiou was still surprised, and asked Bird, "Then you have so many comrades in arms, have you ever thought of seeking a job for them? You see that the fishery is hiring, and many of them don't have suitable jobs, don't they?"

Bird calmly said: "Of course I think, if the fishing ground is mine, I will let them work, but this is not mine, I can't cheat you, BOSS, those guys are not the material for work, they and the black knives It's not the same, otherwise you won't even be able to find a job that can survive."

  Qin Shiou laughed, patted his shoulder and said: "Then I really didn't read you wrong, my buddy."

  The Invalides Festival ended. The only trace it left was the stubborn steel poppy flower that stood upright by the sea. Later, the Black Knife and Bird were painted with red paint, making it lifelike. (~^~)
