Yuanyang City First Hospital, critical care floor.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it had been two hours since General Zhou Yang led the A-level soldiers to deal with the alien race.

Ling Xiangming and Ling An were waiting anxiously outside the door. The red indicator light in the operating room was always on, which made Ling Xiangming's face always pale.

"Dad, don't worry, didn't General Zhou Yang say that, my brother's injury is very serious, but the doctor here has the ability to cure him."

In Ling An's opinion, Ling Zhiyuan was only hit by some impact at that time. He also knew that the soldiers of the Glorious Army had even exceeded the scope of normal humans because most ordinary people did not know about it. Moreover, there were no wounds on Ling Zhiyuan's body, so Ling An thought he was just a minor injury.

But who knew that after seeing this, an A-level soldier said that Ling Zhiyuan was seriously injured and needed special examination and treatment.

Chief Zhou Yang personally arranged for Ling Zhiyuan to be sent to Yuanyang First Hospital with an adjutant who was also an A-level soldier. The medical team that had been prepared long ago was greeted.

After a rough examination, the chief physician of the medical team told them that Ling Zhiyuan needed surgery, which surprised Ling An.

Ling An only told his father the news, and after Ling Xiangming knew about it, he found an excuse to hide it from Yu Shuwan and Ling Xuan, and rushed over quickly. It happened that Ling Zhiyuan was sent to the operating room.

While comforting his father, Ling An glanced at General Zhou Yang who was standing aside.

As the highest defense commander here, General Zhou Yang did not go to work on his work, but stayed here to wait for the result, which made Ling An and Ling Xiangming a little moved.

"Mr. Ling, don't be too anxious. Your son's injury is mainly internal, but just take out some things through surgery and perform some repairs." President Zhou Yang smiled.

"Thank you so much, President Zhou. In this case, you should have a lot of things to be busy with. You don't need to stay here and wait." Ling Xiangming said quickly.

President Zhou Yang shook his head.

"Mr. Ling, you are polite. Zhiyuan is a member of the Glorious Army and is also a temporary member of the Earth Defense Force during his vacation. As the Chief of Defense of Asia, I naturally have to accompany me when I have such a thing. I have asked the adjutant to deal with other trivial matters."

At this moment, the operating room indicator light went out.

The door of the operating room opened and a doctor with a mask walked out.

"Doctor Nie, how is my son's condition?" Ling Xiangming asked hurriedly.

Because Ling Xuan was also treated at Yuanyang First Hospital, Ling Xiangming is familiar with many senior doctors here.

As far as Ling Xiangming knows, Dr. Nie is the best surgeon in this hospital.

Every Glorious Army soldier can receive almost the best treatment on earth.

"The patient is out of danger of life and his condition has stabilized. If you want to know the specific situation, your family members should wait first. Because the patient's identity is special, the situation needs to be reported to General Zhou Yang first." Dr. Nie said politely.

Ling Xiangming was stunned, and General Zhou Yang beside him said to him:

"Mr. Ling, sorry, you need to wait a little longer. This may involve information that needs to be kept confidential, please understand."

Anyway, Ling Zhiyuan was out of danger of life, and Ling Xiangming was not as anxious as before, so he quickly expressed his understanding.

President Zhou Yang followed Dr. Nie into a room. In less than ten minutes, Dr. Nie came out again.

When he saw Dr. Nie come out, Ling An and Ling Zhiyuan hurriedly met.

"Doctor, can you tell us the specific situation of Zhiyuan now?"

Who knew that Dr. Nie shook his head and said:

"I have told General Zhou about the specific situation. He is asking you to go in. He will tell you about the patient's situation. I also need to do some follow-up preparations for the patient, so I will lose my companion first."

"Thank you, doctor." Ling Xiangming thanked quickly.

The father and son entered the room where Dr. Nie came out, and Chief Zhou Yang looked meditative.

"General Zhou, Zhiyuan's specific situation..."

Ling Xiangming's words made General Zhou Yang wake up from his thoughts, and he hurriedly said:

"Mr. Ling, sit down first. Ling An, you can sit down too."

After the two of them sat down, General Zhou Yang said:

"Two, I have good news and bad news about Zhiyuan's situation. Which one do you want to listen to first?"

The father and son looked at each other, and Ling An said:

"General Zhou Yang, don't joke."

"Okay, then I'll tell you bad news first."

President Zhou Yang sighed.

"The bad news is that Ling Zhiyuan's body has been severely damaged in many parts of his body. Although he has no worries about his life, he may suffer from permanent disability..."

Ling Xiangming and Ling An were stunned at the same time.

"Then, what about the good news?" Ling Xiangming asked.

In fact, Ling An on the side had guessed about it...

President Zhou Yang had a hint of bitterness on his face. He sighed again and said:

"The good news is that because of his condition, he meets the relevant conditions for forced retirement in the Glorious Army Ordinance, he will be forced to retire."

"He no longer needs to leave Earth and go to the Martian battlefield."

This news made Ling Xiangming stunned.

Then he began to tremble slightly and asked in a tone of not knowing whether it was sad or joy:

"You, are you saying it true? Zhiyuan is going to retire?"

President Zhou Yang nodded slightly,

"Yes, Ling Zhiyuan has retired."

"That's great! That's great!" Ling Xiangming couldn't help but say excitedly, and even tears were surging in the corners of his eyes.

As a father, no one hopes that his eldest son Ling Zhiyuan can stay away from that battlefield than Yu Shuwan.

It was an extremely honor for soldiers to defend their country, and Ling Xiangming also agreed with this.

However, compared to glory, he hoped that his son would not take risks and live well, even as a mediocre person.

After all, none of the relatives and friends who Ling Xiangming knew who joined the Glorious Army came back...

Among them are Ling Xiangming's younger brother, Ling An, Ling Xuan and Ling Zhiyuan's uncle, and a glorious army soldier who died on the battlefield as a C-class soldier - Ling Shouyue.

To this day, his name remains on the list below the Yuanyang City Monument.

After all, there are only a few who can return with full glory.

Ling Xiangming was a little excited, but looking at General Zhou Yang, he seemed to feel that he did not respect the Glorious Army very much. He swallowed his saliva and calmed down his mood.

"Sorry, President Zhou, I'm a little out of my composure."

"No need to apologize, I can understand." President Zhou Yang still had a smiling expression.

Ling An kept observing General Zhou Yang.

Perhaps, this news is good news for the Ling family, but it should not be good news for the Glorious Army.

After all, they lost a soldier, and Ling Zhiyuan seemed to be favored by the senior management of the Glorious Army. In their opinion, they should belong to the group of people with great potential.

Perhaps, this is not good news for Ling Zhiyuan himself...

"The medical expenses of Zhiyuan will be reimbursed by the Defense and Logistics Bureau. After retiring, he will enjoy the treatment of retired soldiers. However, according to regulations, because it is an abnormal forced retirement, the treatment will be lower than that of the normal retired soldiers. Please forgive me." General Zhou Yang said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, we can understand." Ling Xiangming said quickly.

When did he see such a humble and powerful figure? The Chief of Asian Defense, in terms of position, belongs to one of the dozens of people on earth! Now talking to him without any airs, this made Ling Xiangming a little flattered.

The same is true for Ling An. It is understandable that Ling Zhiyuan's retirement benefits have been reduced.

The treatment of soldiers of the Glorious Army after retirement is very, very good. In addition to the large monthly subsidies, they also enjoy all federal public services for free.

The only disadvantage is that the treatment of family members has been reduced accordingly... Wait!

Thinking of this, Ling An suddenly felt shocked.

If that happens, the medical subsidies for the family members of the Glorious Army that Ling Xuan enjoys will most likely be reduced, so the subsequent treatment...

"I also understand your family's situation. If Zhiyuan retires, although his personal treatment will be improved, it should not make up for the medical expenses reimbursed by your family." President Zhou Yang said indeed.

Ling Xiangming was silent.

The money spent on treating Ling Xuan every month is actually the top of the medical insurance for the family of the Glorious Army during the epidemic.

After Ling Zhiyuan retired, according to regulations, the money could only be reimbursed for his personal medical treatment. Other families could only enjoy half of the original treatment.

This is not the ruthlessness of the Federation, but the annual reimbursement expenses of all the Glorious Army families around the world are not a small amount. This subsidy was originally intended to eliminate the worries of the soldiers in service.

"We understand." Ling Zhiyuan said for a while.

Although it was still joyful, there was a slight change in his tone.

pressure.

"Strictly speaking, Zhiyuan was also injured when we helped us complete the task, so please rest assured that I will apply with the above to maintain the treatment of your family. If it is really not possible, I will contribute my personal investment and fill it in for you."

President Zhou Yang obviously knew about Ling An’s family and knew what the cuts in medical subsidies mean to their family.

"Thank you, President Zhou, for your kindness. If the application is not successful, then forget it." Ling Xiangming originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about Ling Xuan's huge monthly medical expenses, he did not say anything about it.

"Well, after Zhiyuan woke up, he still needed your family to comfort him. I read his detailed information. This child... might be very sad." President Zhou Yang sighed.
