Chapter 704: Family Happiness is the Greatest Luxury in War



The Tianyi Mercenary Group has gradually gained an advantage, but it is still unknown which side will win next, and no one knows whether the two sides will come up with any more powerful weapons.

Brigadier General Amanda was now wearing prisoner uniform, with her hands handcuffed in her detention room, sitting on a chair, and in front of the table sat a SkyWing mercenary general who was also a brigadier general.

Brigadier General Amanda only stated her affiliation, her rank, and some of her personal information, and did not reveal any important military secrets.

"If you want to get any information out of me, I advise you to give up. If you think lynching me will make me reveal the information, you can try it."

"We don't intend to force you to reveal any information, we just want to ask you some personal questions." At this time, an adjutant brought a glass of water and placed it in front of the brigadier general.

The Brigadier General took a sip and pushed the cup in front of Brigadier General Amanda. Amanda watched the Brigadier General in front of her drink the water without any abnormality on his face. Amanda took the cup with both hands, took a sip of water, and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Among the captured child soldiers, there is a child named Miroslav. This child wants to find his mother. His mother is Amanda, also a general." After the brigadier general said this, he took the tablet from the adjutant. The video on the tablet was of a little red-haired boy.

Amanda saw Miroslav. Although she remained calm, the flash of excitement in her eyes was noticed by the brigadier general and the adjutant.

The Brigadier General said, "Don't be nervous. I won't use your son to threaten you to get information. This child is like many child soldiers. After being captured, many of them cried and wanted to find their parents. Some prisoners in the detention center also asked us to check whether their children were captured. Many of them found that their parents and children were also captured. When we arranged a video call for the children to meet their parents, they all burst into tears. We are also preparing to send these children to the detention center to reunite them with their parents."

Listening to what the brigadier general said, Amanda remained calm on the surface, but she was very excited inside.

Amanda kept her tone calm and asked, "You just said that most of the children cried at first, so what about the other small number of children?"

"When these children saw us, they were very excited and called us murderers. Some of these children's parents were in the detention center. We also arranged for them to meet via video, but these children were not excited at all. They all hoped that we would take them to their parents. Of course, some of them did not have parents, so we also sent them to the detention center to see which prisoners in the detention center were willing to take care of them or adopt them."

Amanda lowered her head in thought, and then she opened a file on her tablet. The file was a video recording.

Then, push the tablet in front of Amanda.

Amanda looked up at the video on the flat screen, her eyes filled with excitement.

Because the video on the screen showed her son Miroslav eating the cake in big mouthfuls, and he started out eating the cake happily, but ended up eating the cake while crying.

A female mercenary wiped Miroslav's tears with a tissue and asked him why he was crying while eating his favorite chocolate cake.

"I want my mother to celebrate my 12th birthday with me. I want my mother to eat cake with me." Miroslav burst into tears after saying this. The female mercenary held him in her arms to comfort him.

Amanda listened to what her son said and watched him cry, with tears welling up in her eyes.

The brigadier general then said, "We will send you and your son to a detention center, so you and your son can enjoy the joy of being together as a mother and son."

Amanda asked, "I remember that all the prisoners in your detention center are used as your labor force. Do you also want to use the children as labor force?"

"Don't worry about that. We are only using you adults as labor. For prisoners under the age of 18, we will send them to the Kouri School. They will go to school like normal children and do what children of that age should do. And if these children have parents, we will arrange for them to live with their parents. The parents will work and the children will go to school. Oh, by the way, as prisoners, you adults can get points for your work, and the points you get can be exchanged for what you want. You can use the points to exchange for the children's toys or to make the children happy."

As soon as the brigadier general finished speaking, the adjutant whispered something in his ear.

"Your son wants to meet you. Do you want to have a video call with your son?"

"Yes!" Amanda responded excitedly. At this moment, she no longer had the dignity of a general, but the mood of a mother who wanted to see her son.

The brigadier general took the tablet back, turned on the video communication on it, and then pushed it back in front of Amanda.

"Mom, Mom!" An excited little boy's voice came from the tablet.

"Miroslav..." Amanda couldn't hold back her tears at this moment. She was so excited that she wanted to hug her only remaining son tightly.

"Mom, when are you coming over?"

"Mom will be here soon. You must be obedient there and don't make the uncles and aunts angry."

"I will."

The mother and son were chatting on the video communication. The brigadier general and the adjutant did not interrupt, but watched quietly.

About 20 minutes later, Miroslav's mercenaries announced that it was the next child's turn.

The brigadier general looked at Amanda and said, "Rest here for a few hours. We will arrange for you to meet your son and then send you to the detention center."

After saying this, the brigadier general left the detention room with his adjutant.

Amanda covered her mouth with her hands, her shoulders began to shake, tears and snot flowed from her eyes and nostrils, and Amanda cried.

During the years of war, Amanda lost her husband, eldest son and second son. When her youngest son turned 12, Amanda didn't even dare to celebrate his birthday with him.

Because that day was her son's 12th birthday and he was forcibly taken away by the relevant departments of the state authorities, but Amanda did not dare to resist and could not protect her son like a mother.

I could only cowardly hide above and watch my son being forcibly taken away, shouting "Mom, Mom, save me."

Amanda even hated her own weakness. She was once a supporter of the Emperor's new humanism.

But the wars in recent years have caused her to lose her loved ones and family members, which has left her feeling very lost and doubtful. Is neo-humanism really a good thing?

Is it really possible to build a paradise for new humans as His Majesty the Emperor said?

Until now she has been very confused and bewildered, and even wondered in her heart, is this wrong?

But she didn't dare to say it out loud. Seeing her youngest son being forcibly taken away and sent to the battlefield, she didn't dare to resist at all.

Until now, seeing that her youngest son was still alive, Amanda had made up her mind. No matter whether the Emperor's new humanism was right or wrong, it had nothing to do with her.

Because she had lost so much, her family, comrades, and subordinates left her one after another. Now she only had her youngest son left, and she just wanted to live with him and enjoy family happiness.

Family happiness is the greatest luxury in war, and also the greatest desire. This desire has come before her, and she must grasp it.

Once the war is over, she will resign her position as general, leave the army and live an ordinary family life with her son.

Because family happiness is the greatest joy in life and the greatest happiness in life.
