章節 63: Chapter 63 The Dragon Kingdom's Unseen Heroes: Soldiers' Sacrifice and Recovery
A simple sentence touched Sengoku's heart.
Even Kaido, who questioned the usefulness of the soldiers just now, is silent now.
Kaido may yearn for a simple and violent world, but that doesn't mean he can't see what's good or bad.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been brooding about Oden's matter back then.
Soldiers deserve good treatment because they do more than anyone can imagine.
Kaido is silent, and the others are even more shocked.
They have seen many fighting soldiers, but they have never seen such self-sacrificing soldiers.
They may have seen a single hero, but they have never seen a group of people like this.
This is the first time in their lives that they have known that the mission of soldiers is not just to fight at the forefront, but also to shoulder this responsibility.
Even if they have never seen it before, they feel the greatness of it right now.
[Rayleigh: I finally understand why the people trust the soldiers so much. Soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the people will never be killed by the people.]
[Aokiji: I thought the Dragon Kingdom treated their soldiers too well, but now I see that it's not an exaggeration. The Dragon Kingdom's military may be the third strongest, but their spirit of selfless dedication to the people is the best!]
[Roger: They arrived half an hour after the disaster! Their response speed is the fastest I've ever seen!]
[Whitebeard: Other countries would just give up in the face of a disaster like this. Even after the disaster, they would refuse to let refugees into their cities, for fear of losing their quality of life. But the Dragon Kingdom is desperate to rescue them! What great soldiers and what a great king!]
[Red Hair: The army and the people are so united! In just a few days after the disaster, normal life has been restored. There are also many aid materials and volunteers!]
[Garp: The post-disaster work was handled perfectly!]
[Red Hair: Compared to the Dragon Kingdom, Totto Land is....]
[Big Mom:..…]
[Aokiji: They are holding a funeral]
[Kizaru: The person holding the portrait of Ron looks like a high-ranking nobleman in the Dragon Kingdom.]
Kizaru's statement shocked many people.
[Morgans: I can't believe it! How could a son of a noble go to the front lines? And he still has that kind of fearless spirit!]
[Stussy: I know right! All the noble soldiers I've seen just sit in safe places, enjoying the best treatment, and waiting for promotions. Even the noble children of Alabasta did the same just now!]
[Kid: Aren't those noble children all very rich?]
They were shocked!
The video camera soon focused on Ron's father.
He was a high-ranking official, as shown by his clothes and the way people respected him.
The funeral was grand, and people gathered in the mourning square spontaneously.
[Flying Squirrel: There were so many people who came to the funeral without being asked! It seems like half the kingdom came!]
[Garp: This is a hero who belongs to the people. He should be honored by the people!]
[Akainu: Most of the people in the Dragon Kingdom seem to be young and middle-aged. There aren't many elderly or children.]
[Sengoku: That's not surprising. The Dragon Kingdom is a country made up of many refugees. The old, weak, sick, and disabled are still in their disaster-stricken homeland. They were probably the first victims.]
The video then focused on a middle-aged man who was drinking alcohol and looking sad.
He didn't join the crowd in mourning.
He just stood there, watching from a distance.
He took a sip of wine and sighed.
His eyes were filled with sadness, and he had many stories that he didn't want to talk about.
The weight of his past was suffocating him, and the recent events had only made things worse.
The man watched as Ron's father finished mourning and left down the street.
He followed him, and soon the other man noticed him and stopped.
"Can I help you?"
"I have a question."
"What is it?"
"Why do you let your children run around in such a dangerous place? Aren't you aristocrats used to sitting on people's corpses to celebrate?"
"Are you from somewhere else?"
"Yes."
"Have you ever been persecuted by nobles? Or have you been a pirate or a Marine?"
"Both.
"I don't know what you want to know, but I was also an ordinary person before I came to the Dragon Kingdom. When we were attacked by pirates, a Dragon Kingdom soldier sacrificed himself to save us. That's why I came to this country! I wanted to see what kind of country can produce such excellent soldiers."
"So you stayed here to repay his kindness?"
"Not exactly. We didn't know each other for very long, but I've always wanted to be like him."
"Then you've succeeded."
"I don't know if I've succeeded or not, but we come from the people and serve the people. Anyone can do this, regardless of their social status. Why can't children of the poor do what they can do if they have some status?"
"Aren't you sad that your son died? Don't you regret letting him join the army?
"i'm sad and I regret it, but I'm also proud of him. He died as a hero."
"What if you were there?"
"Then I would be there now, mourning with the others."
"Why do you have to do this?"
"I don't know how to explain it, but our king once said that we are the soldiers of the people, and we must never forget our roots."
"I see."
"I'll go first."
"Which unit are you in?"
"Want to be my soldier?"
"Try me."
"Bring it on."
"Good."
[Garp: You're right! Soldiers are from the people and they serve the people. That's how it should be!]
Sengoku tried to stop Garp from saying anything else.
He knew that most people in the world don't think that the Marines are just for the people.
The Marines may shout about justice, but most of the time, they are doing things for the World Government.
They often have to clean up the messes that the World Government makes.
Sengoku thinks that Garp shouldn't say these things out loud.
It's not a good idea to criticize the World Government.
[Roger: The soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom are very dedicated to their beliefs. They pass their beliefs down from generation to generation.]
When someone is rescued, they are inspired by the spirit of the rescuer.
When the rescuer loses a child, they find a new inheritor of their spirit.
This will be passed down forever, even if the Dragon Kingdom perishes.
[Bullet: If the soldiers in my country were like this, I wouldn't have been betrayed by them. I wouldn't have had to destroy my country.]
Bullet feels like he was born in the wrong place.
He thinks that if he was born in the Dragon Kingdom, he might have had a different life.
"Father, I want to be a soldier and serve the country. The Dragon Kingdom is developing rapidly and everyone has the opportunity to become a good soldier."
"No, I can't let you go. Who will work in the fields if you go? I'm already 50 years old and I can still beat you. I've been a conscript for a few years and I'm in good health. There's a militia in the village that anyone can join. They teach self-defense skills for free."
"That's not the same as being a soldier."
"Of course it counts. Everyone calls it a militia."
"Okay, that's fine. The sea is not peaceful and there are too many pirates. It's good to learn more self-defense skills. The Dragon Kingdom is the only peaceful country in the sea."
Many people participated in free militia training.
Gao Yang remembered that he had just reached the fifth level kingdom at that time.
The national physical fitness had increased by about 15%.
The government wanted to improve the physical fitness of the people so that they could defend themselves better.
That's why they ordered the officers to go to various towns to teach people some basic self-defense techniques.
Gao Yang had casually asked Boss Bai about this, and he didn't expect it to be implemented so well.
'I didn't know that anyone who has been trained is considered a soldier. That's why our Dragon Kingdom, which only has 800,000 people, has more than 300,000 troops!'
The regular army on record is 100,000 soldiers.
That's why Gao Yang was wondering where his country got more than 300,000 soldiers.
But if the militia is also counted, then it's not surprising that there are more than 300,000 soldiers.
[Akainu: The Dragon Kingdom has a lot of respect for its soldiers.]
[Sengoku: Almost everyone in the Dragon Kingdom is a soldier. Except for babies and the elderly, everyone has received basic training.]
[Cobra: Alabasta doesn't have any advantages over the Dragon Kingdom, except for its population. The Dragon Kingdom treats its soldiers better, the military and the people have a better relationship, the army and the nobles have a better relationship, and the will of the soldiers and the people is stronger. The King of the Dragon Kingdom is an amazing man!]
[Hancock: This is somewhat similar to the situation in our Amazon Lily.]
The population of Amazon Lily is not that large, so it is not on the list.
The same goes for the giants.
Although all giants are soldiers, their population is small.
Usually, there are only hundreds of people in a tribe, and even fewer.
The birth rate is low.
The Dragon Kingdom has soldiers, so it will naturally take action outside.
After all, many industries are outside.
There will always be some reckless people who challenge them.
Many soldiers have sailed with Umit.
Other forces may notice it, but they will only think it is Umit's power.
No one will know that it is the Dragon Kingdom.
The Dragon Kingdom usually does not take the initiative to provoke any wars.
They will only fight back if they are provoked.
[Garp: The Dragon Kingdom has also carried out military missions, but we don't know what they have done.]
[Aokiji: Sometimes they bring many refugees back to the Dragon Kingdom.]
[Kizaru: Not all of the refugees are refugees. Some of them seem to be quite unusual. This is how the Dragon Kingdom grows little by little without our knowledge.]
A soldier who just returned from a mission is in a trance.
He is nervous around people and keeps touching his waist, as if he is reaching for a weapon.
He returns home to a peaceful environment, but he seems restless and can't sleep.
He eventually falls asleep after drinking some wine, but he wakes up in the middle of the night and starts smashing everything around him, as if everything is an enemy.
[Loan usury king: I don't know how good the Dragon Kingdom soldiers are, but judging from the soldier's reaction, he don't seem to be very good. He's still nervous even after returning home.]
[Bonney: What's going on? Could he have been bullied outside? He shouldn't be taking it out on his own people now!]
[Rocks: That soldier is crazy!]
[Tashigi: Crazy? No way!]
[Sengoku: Rocks is right. Sometimes, this happens on the battlefield. The soldier may be physically back, but his mind is still on the battlefield.]
[Tashigi: So what do we do?]
[Sengoku: Usually, this kind of soldier cannot continue to be a soldier. The Marine headquarters will force him to retire. We can't let him harm other soldiers.]
[Tashigi: What happens after he's retired?]
[Sengoku: That depends on the soldier. Some may be able to adjust to civilian life, while others may need help.]
Tashigi asked subconsciously.
She wouldn't have thought about this question if she hadn't seen the benefits that soldiers in the Dragon Kingdom enjoy.
The Dragon Kingdom has a good system for taking care of its soldiers, including pensions, compensation for casualties, and other welfare benefits.
This has impressed the viewers, so Tashigi asked about it subconsciously.
Sengoku remained silent.
He didn't know what would happen to the soldier if he quit the military.
Of course, it would have nothing to do with the Marine then.
[Doberman: This guy is not determined enough. He should be fired. What else can we do?]
[Boss Bai: You can't just throw him out into society without any treatment.]
[Doberman: This is not a disease. How can you cure it?]
[Boss Bai: This is a disease. It's a post-traumatic stress disorder. If we release him into society without psychological counseling and treatment, he will endanger the safety of ordinary people.]
[Garp: Is there really such a disease?]
Sengoku, Garp, and Aokiji were all a little uncertain because they had never heard of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) before.
The next video showed how the soldier was helped.
His neighbors noticed his abnormal behavior and reported it to the sheriff's office.
A group of comrades came and took him to a place called Angel Psychological Medical Center.
The psychiatrist had a one-on-one conversation with him and listened to his words, scenes, and emotions
Doctor Li patiently guided him.
In addition to talking therapy, the soldier also received electrical stimulation therapy for his headache and dizziness.
He also took medication to nourish his nerves and improve his sleep.
Over time, the soldier's mental and physical condition improved and stabilized.
He was even able to continue to perform his tasks.
The soldier also developed a new hobby.
He liked to watch people's ordinary daily lives in the lively square.
This made him happy and content.
For those who have been on the front lines of war, there is nothing more alluring than everyday life.
Like many war veterans, just looking at the lively crowd and the happy families makes them satisfied.
It tells them that their efforts were not in vain.
[Garp: He was cured?]
[Sengoku: The Dragon Kingdom actually has this kind of welfare treatment for its soldiers! They even consider the physical and mental health of their soldiers! Your majesty Gao Yang, what's your brain made of? You even know about this?]
