Rebirth: Romania Rising

Yann smiled and reminded Andrew: "One more thing, that is reputation!"

"Prestige? What's the use of something that can't be seen or touched? If you ask me, it's better than real money." Andrew couldn't understand.

"Compared to wealth, reputation is something that is hard to come by. It is by no means illusory. In the hands of smart people, it can certainly be transformed into actual benefits. So I say, Victor catching gangsters late at night is really a fortune. It's a worthwhile adventure." After hearing Yan's words, Andrew seemed to understand.

What Yan said is true. Victor strives to be the best, and part of it is to pursue prestige.After all, in Victor's previous life, he heard about many people who had successful careers and achieved great things but had no reputation.

Furthermore, people will always remember the world’s highest peak, Everest, the longest river, the Nile, and the world’s first moonwalker, Armstrong, but they will never think of the world’s second and third-largest things.

Although the Romanian army promotes officials internally and values ​​military merit and ability, isn't prestige a reflection of personal ability?

If the same two officers are equally dedicated to their duties and have similar abilities, they will have similar military merits.Of course, the one with the best rating in the military is more likely to get the attention of his superiors and is more likely to be promoted.

"This Victor has a great future." Yan crossed his legs and began to feel lucky that he had not misjudged Victor. For him, the more capable and famous Victor was, the more important he was. This proves that as a leader, he knows people well and takes charge of his duties well.

……

Just as Arn was praising Victor's "extraordinary future" in front of Andrew, Brad, who lived in the recruitment office of a county near the capital, was cursing the Third Army's recent rumors about Victor.

"Victor caused a big case just after he took office. Doesn't it mean that I didn't manage my subordinates well when I was in office? The infamy belongs to me, and all the credit goes to him. Now he has been awarded a medal. He is really lucky! Brad said angrily.

Old John also looked unhappy and responded: "Victor seems to be honest and simple, but in fact he is sinister and cunning. His so-called arrest of criminals is just a reckless man's bravery. From my perspective Come on, Victor Antonescu is definitely a great fisherman!"

Although John and Brad had lost face due to the previous military training competition incident and hated Victor with gnashing of teeth, at that time Victor was very smart and got close to Arn's big ship. Now, he is in the army again After gaining quite a reputation, it would be many times more difficult for me to deal with him.

"Sir John, let that kid be proud for a while longer." Brad suggested: "After a year and a half, when Yaen is transferred, you will still have the final say on the civilian and military officers of this military camp! When the time comes! It’s not too late to deal with that Victor!”

……

Romania is an agricultural country, and in an agricultural country, the most important resource is land.

For this meritorious service, the army not only awarded Victor a medal, but also granted him generous treatment of fertile land. For future generations, he would be rewarded with dozens of acres of land and a homestead, on which Victor planned to build his own land. Building a house, but the procedures for these things are more complicated and cannot be completed in less than ten days and half a month.

"When you return to your hometown in a few days, you can see your land and property. The local government may have gotten the news and started measuring the land." Betif is quite experienced and spoke clearly.

After Betif finished explaining these things, he smiled at Alexey and said: "Not only Victor, but you and I will also be rewarded. The army still knows this simple truth. How can we let someone with meritorious service be rewarded?" Are you feeling discouraged? Say no more, I have to drink quickly, otherwise I've been holding back for so long and it'll really kill me."

After leaving the office building, Victor walked out of the yard and stood at the gate. He closed his eyes and felt the warm sunshine. The air seemed sweeter. This is the taste of victory.

Recall that when he first stepped into the military camp a few months ago, he was still an unknown new low-level officer. Now, he has taken the first step in this era and received the coveted military honor.But he was not satisfied with this. The Cross of Glory was still not enough!

The reason why Victor thought this way was because during the ceremony today, it suddenly occurred to him that Ruth, who recommended him, also had a Cross of Glory on his chest. Even so, he was dismissed from his official position despite provoking other people. , changed to a policeman, which inspired Victor.

This small medal made Victor realize how fierce the competition within the army was.

I am in the Third Army, and I may not be sure that one day I will accidentally touch the interests of some people.If it was an ordinary big-headed soldier or a low-level officer, he would probably be punished however he wanted.But with the protection of superiors and military medals, these people can be feared.

"For the sake of my own destiny and future, I have to continue to work hard." With this thought in mind, Victor called Alexei and wanted to go back to the military camp with him.

"Go there now?" Alexei looked unhappy and said, "Victor, although the army training is important, we just captured the criminals and got so much reward, and it's still the weekend, why don't we go to the city first? Have a good meal and celebrate? Besides..."

He pointed to the bustling vendors and bustling street stalls on the street and said, "I'm going home for the holidays soon!"

"Going home for the holiday?" Victor looked confused and didn't understand at all. He muttered: "I almost had a holiday last month, what kind of holiday do I need now?"

"Victor, you are very resourceful and smart when you are training soldiers and solving crimes. But how come you are so confused when you have finished doing things? Did you even forget to celebrate Christmas?"

Alexey looked at Victor up and down, his eyes looking like he was looking at a fool. After living for 30 or [-] years, he could even forget Christmas. He was living such a confused life, wasn't he?

"No way, I know very well. I was so excited about getting the medal just now, so I made a slip of the tongue..."

Victor knew he was making a joke, so he quickly put it off and cursed: "Fortunately, Alexei didn't become suspicious. If he had said the wrong thing, he would have been regarded as a lunatic!"

It turns out that Romania was an Orthodox country at this time and followed the Julian calendar, so their Christmas date was January 1 in the Gregorian calendar, not the more widely circulated Christmas on December 7.

Look at the officers of all levels and the endless stream of carriages coming in and out of the office building and courtyard. When they meet Victor, they will look at the Cross of Glory on their chests, say hello with a smile, and praise: "Well done." It has to be beautiful.”

"It seems that no matter what dynasty or generation, celebrating the New Year is celebrating the New Year..." Looking at these scenes of the New Year, Victor felt a little lonely for some reason.

Yes, whether it is the Spring Festival in the East or Christmas in the West, the most important thing is to reunite the whole family, have a sumptuous Christmas dinner together, and exchange gifts.

After being in the army for so long, it’s really time to prepare to go home!When Alexei said this, Victor remembered this, so he stamped his foot: "Let's go into the city to buy something."

Alexey said: "But when I think about it, after I wrote last time, my parents also wrote back to me and complained to me that our military training time is too long..."

Alexey and Victor were walking and talking. They hadn’t eaten from last night to this morning. They had been hungry for most of the day and were already hungry. After walking through an intersection, Alexey’s eyes lit up and he pointed ahead. Said: "The restaurant has arrived, you are in for a treat!"

Although it is located in a remote area, restaurants and shops are still essential.However, this restaurant is a bit shabby. There are a few tables, chairs and benches inside, and they are even made of logs. They are so shabby that they are not even painted, and there are burrs that hurt your hands. It is also deserted inside, with only one or two people eating.

"Boss, take your order. There are two of you. Please serve the most expensive and delicious signature dishes."

The owner of this restaurant is a middle-aged man with a ginger complexion. He came over slowly after hearing the call.

Seeing that Alexei was just a soldier, Victor beside him had a military rank and even a medal.But the two of them were disheveled, and they were probably out to become thieves in the middle of the night. How could any soldier be like this?

The store owner immediately showed a wary look and said coldly: "Everything about the signature dishes is easy to say, but the price..." He looked at the two of them up and down, indicating that they were wearing military uniforms, but they didn't look like serious soldiers. , don’t pretend to be a soldier just to get food and drinks.

Alexei was waiting for this question!He immediately laughed: "Why, are you afraid that I won't give you money after eating?" He said and opened the wallet in his pocket. With a "click" sound, he slapped the banknotes and coins on the table, making a crackling sound!
