fleet citizen

"Since the DA gene is expressed, are you a soldier of the Defense Force, Yuan Yu?" Mint asked curiously.

No matter what angle you look at, Yuan Yu is completely different from the image of a soldier in his mind.Mint has seen movies that describe wars in the history of pearls and jade. The soldiers of the ordinary base class and the senior officers of the top class in it all look upright and serious. Their hair is cut very short. No one likes Yuan Yu. She has half-length hair, and no one would open her mouth and call others "cute".

But on the other hand, the dangerous war years before had some advantages.Young people of the base class can join the army. After experiencing various battles with a narrow escape, if they can survive and make greater contributions, they may be promoted and become more senior officers.When they retire, they can also become the top class like other top class senior officers.But Mint thought again, the fleet doesn't have any pinnacle class or base class.

"Actually, the DA and DB genes in the fleet have not been the patents of the Defense Force for a long time. Anyone can choose these two genes-to be honest, there is nothing good about growing taller and having stronger physical fitness." Yuan Yu smiled. Said, "As for me, I belong to the reserve force of the fleet. Now the primary goal of the fleet is not defense, or the fleet needs more than just defense, so we no longer use the name 'defense force', but just Habitually called the Army."

"What is the reserve?" Mint continued to ask.

"Reserve service, it's not easy to explain..." Yuan Yu scratched his hair, thought for a while and said, "In the fleet, reserve service is a military status corresponding to active service. Unlike ordinary citizens, reserve service members need to To master the professional skills of the corresponding reserve positions, the application assessment is required every month, and the practical operation assessment is also carried out every year. In addition to the assessment of professional skills, there are also assessments of physical fitness and comprehensive skills in active service. Anyway, it is to test A bunch of trials, no fun."

It does sound troublesome, but Mint asked again: "Since it's so troublesome, why do you want to join the reserve?"

Mint originally thought that the answer to this question would be more complicated, such as involving the various benefits of the army and the balance of trouble and danger, but Yuan Yu quickly and simply replied: "To defend the fleet."

Mint looked suspiciously at Yuan Yu's dark eyes, feeling that she was not telling the truth.

But Yuan Yu smiled frankly: "Why, don't you believe it, my mint cutie? Fleet reserve and active duty are nothing but troubles. The only advantage is that you can make yourself look more handsome through exercise. , This may be conducive to dating. If it is not for the protection of the fleet, none of us will join the reserve service, let alone the stricter active service. But in fact, the combined reserve and active service in the fleet accounts for 40.00% of the total number of citizens. "

She said with some sarcasm: "I've heard that the armies of your planetary countries—with all due respect—are really weak. Most of the soldiers and officers who join the army for personal gain will not absolutely obey orders , the rest of those who will obey orders may not use their brains."

In fact, if you want to be a good fighter, you don't need to have such superb skills and strong will, but the most basic thing is to know what you are doing.It's not about fame or self-fulfilment, but knowing that the sole purpose of joining the military is to defend the fleet and protect the people of the fleet.Only by knowing this can we find the right direction, make the right choice, and then hone our will and improve our skills step by step to become an excellent reserve or active soldier.

This is a truth that the citizens of the fleet understand, but the soldiers and officers of the planetary countries whose numbers are dozens of times larger than them are rarely able to understand.However, this is not due to the stupidity or selfishness of the people of the planetary countries, but from the differences in the roles played by the fleet and the vast majority of citizens in those planetary countries.

Hearing what she said, Mint felt a little unhappy.He was part of the Planetary Nation anyway, he was a citizen of the Jade Union.Yuan Yu satirized the army of the planetary country, including the army that satirized Zhuyu, and Mint felt that his face was not good enough.

What made him even more unhappy was that when they were having dinner at a local restaurant, Yuan Yu satirized a TV series called "Ailuo's Bones" that was shown on the holographic TV in the restaurant, about an animal named The story of Aiello's puppy.

That TV series is not from the Tavel League, but a classic comedy from Zhuyu more than 40 years ago, which was once very popular in Zhuyu.It is probably because Qiandao and Zhuyu are more than 30 light-years apart, so it is only shown in Tavel now.Mint has also watched this drama, but I don’t think it is particularly attractive, but I also have a good impression. There are many jokes and classic stalks in the drama. When Master Jieer, the owner of Ai Luo, finally finds Ai Luo, many people I have seen and cried.

However, Yuan Yu chuckled and commented: "From this point of view, the lives of ordinary working people are not as valuable as the dogs of 'nobles', and the life of ordinary people is not as valuable as a dog of a good breed."

Mint has been watching her for more than an hour recently, and retorted unhappily at that time: "How can you compare like this? The consumption levels of the base class and the apex class are different. The apex class itself is richer than the base class. They spend a certain amount of money. What’s the matter with the proportion of money to raise pets? Many base classes will also spend some money to raise dogs. How can you compare people and dogs, and the comparison is also between the dogs of the top class and the dogs of the base class!”

"Really?" Yuan Yu was not annoyed when he heard that, but just raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Aren't your top class and base class both human? And the dogs of the top class and the dogs of the base class, aren't they?" Are they all dogs? Why are people more important than dogs within a class, but there is a strange thing that dogs are more important than people between classes?"

"Then..." Mint tried hard to come up with a reasonable explanation, "Then, for example, for a young master of the apex class, should he choose to give money to the poor people of the base class who have nothing to do with him, and let him Did his beloved pet starve to death?"

"It's really ridiculous." Yuan Yu's tone became slightly sharper, "Do you think it's right to watch the poor starve to death? The base class is not human anymore? Or are they some kind of inferior People, are they not as important as the 'higher dogs' of the top class?"

"This is your wrong judgment!" As a base class, being called "inferior people" by others, Mint felt very uncomfortable, and stood up from the table to confront Yuan Yu tit for tat, "Those poor people of the base class and Jie Er The young master has nothing to do with it, so why should he give them money?! And they want to keep Ai Luo as their own—and they don’t even think about how they can afford Ai Luo! Ai Luo is Master Jie’er’s dog, of course he wants to Never mind! And Ai Luo is like Master Jieer's family, don't you think you will give the money you gave to your family to those poor bases for nothing?!"

"It makes sense to think of pets as family members." Yuan Yu's tone was still sharp, but she was still very calm-this kind of calm made Mint feel crazy, "But whether it is the top class themselves or theirs Family members and pets do not need to pursue luxury goods whose price is much higher than practicality and appreciation value, just to show off and show wealth. Just like the opal toy bones of the puppy in this play, I think Made with cheap artificial keratin it makes the dog more comfortable to bite. Your apex is wasting a lot of resources that could feed, clothe and educate more of the poor at the base , travel to other places to see the world, so that they have more freedom."
