Ordinary people are certainly different.
For ordinary people, living to be a hundred years old is a rare achievement.
The retirement age for Space Marines is forty.
After the age of 40, you can retire.
Those who remained in the Space Marines at fifty generally came from families in dire straits, requiring them to use their remaining years to earn a pension to support their families.
In other words, the fifty-year-old Space Marines are cannon fodder among all Space Marine squadrons and companies.
Their proportion in each squadron generally does not exceed one thousandth.
What about her here?
Is it also one in a thousand?
But if the ratio is one in a thousand, there should be only one person here. Taking into account the statistical error, there should be only a few people at most, and theoretically no more than three people.
But now, there are ten people over fifty years old who are injured here!
That's one percent!
Why is it so much higher than the team's average?
Xia Chujian had to resort to conspiracy theories.
After visiting the ten injured and fallen Space Marines, she returned to her captain's room and said to Qilu, "Qilu, check how many of the thousand Space Marines under my command are over fifty years old."
This task is very simple.
Qi Lu wasted almost no time in putting the statistics before Xia Chumian.
Xia Chujian looked at the data on the eyepiece display screen, his eyes darkening slightly.
"There are actually a hundred people here who are over fifty years old..."
So the one thousandth proportion of the entire column is ten percent to her!
It was ten times higher than the one percent she had previously estimated!
Xia Chujian did not discriminate against these older Space Marines, but she was disgusted by the senior officers who deliberately assigned these people to her.
It can be said that no other squadron has as many Space Marines over fifty years old as she does!
Xia Chujian sneered and made up his mind to dig a small pit for the other party.
Soon, she called a meeting of the entire squadron and said, "This time, ten of our comrades were injured."
"I've watched the replay, and it wasn't because of their mistakes that they got hurt, it was simply because the mid-level Zerg was too powerful!"
"This time, there were 300 medium-level Zerg soldiers. We had a 3 to 1 ratio, but we still fought for an hour!"
"I don't approve of this efficiency!"
"At the same time, considering the average age, physical fitness, and combat experience of our combatants, I have decided to give special rewards to comrades over fifty years old in the squadron after each battle!"
"This reward is enough for all of you comrades to retire without any worries when you reach the age to go home and reunite with your families!"
When Xia Chujian said this, it was clear that he was accusing the military's upper echelons of sitting in office and doing nothing, and that they were greatly indebted to the treatment of the lower-level Star Marines.
If you consider the specific circumstances of the lower-level Space Marines, you would not deduct their retirement benefits, preventing them from retiring until now.
Because after retiring, few of the Star Marines can engage in other professions, either in terms of physical condition or personal skills, and they basically rely on the retirement benefits from this one-time job to live.
The family no longer has a stable income.
The money earned after retirement is definitely not enough to cover the living expenses of the family and one's own retirement expenses.
That's why so many Space Marines choose to serve beyond the age limit.
Xia Chujian had long been dissatisfied with this.
Almost all the senior officers in the military are of noble birth.
The few high-ranking military officers who were not from noble families were all high-level genetic evolvers.
These people have long achieved financial freedom, so their families naturally do not rely on their retirement benefits to survive.
Therefore, almost no one considers the various treatment issues of Space Marines.
The only senior officer who ever truly cared about the lower-level soldiers and officers was Huo Yushen.
But six years ago, he was collectively squeezed out by the top military officials.
This time, Xia Chujian planned to do everything that Huo Yushen was unable to do.
She looked at the Space Marines under her command and said, "Now I need to reorganize the team."
"Space Marines over fifty years old, step out!"
The older Space Marines looked at each other uneasily.
They didn't know what Xia Chujian meant by doing this.
But since the military order had been issued, they still came out hesitantly.
Xia Chujian looked around and saw that there were only eighty-five people.
Among the one hundred Space Marines over fifty years old, ten were injured and sent to the medical room.
There is the cruiser's own medical cabin.
There should be ninety Space Marines over fifty years old here now, but only eighty-five are willing to stand up.
What does it mean that the remaining five people are unwilling to stand up?
Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes.
She sympathized with these Space Marines who were over the age limit, but now they were at war and she would not allow anyone to disobey her orders.
Xia Chujian had a cold expression on his face. He typed five names on the virtual display screen and said, "You five disobeyed military orders. I give you two choices."
"Immediate retirement or expulsion."
What else is there to choose from?
If you get fired, you have nothing.
If you retire immediately, you will still receive retirement benefits.
The five people were very upset.
They were just confused for a moment.
Although Xia Chujian said that he would give them a higher reward, how could they get the treatment for free?
They all thought Xia Chujian asked them to step out of the group because he wanted to send them to be cannon fodder...
