Chapter 748: Sky-high compensation for death in action? Please see the death in action standards

SPACE's chief engineer watched Mosaic leave.

He sighed.

People change.

"Everyone work overtime today, give me a comprehensive inspection of the giant rocket, it may be launched in the next two days!"

He immediately directed everyone to get into work mode.

Mosaic walked out of the workshop and called the old man.

"BOSS, I'm ready to finish here, I have some confidence, but not very big! We need to get more data through the launch."

"No problem, you go ahead and do it!"

After hanging up the phone, the old man smiled.

As for the giant rocket launched by Mosaic, it would be best if it succeeded.

By then, the Lighthouse Country will have the soil and environment for nurturing high technology.

Even if it fails and explodes, there will not be too many problems.

After all, this is a space exploration operation of a private company. It is normal to fail, and the government will not be blamed for this.

Moreover, the explosion of Mosaic's rocket can also be said to have obtained important data, which will be better in the later stage.

There was experience before, and some brain-dead fans in other countries will help to explain.

Now the attention of people all over the world is focused on their overseas garrisons being disintegrated by a business group, and all the people were killed by mercenaries who took advantage of the situation.

If the rocket launch fails, a huge firework will definitely attract everyone's attention.

Mosaic is quite popular, so it's just right to launch it to block the limelight during this period.

Mosaic doesn't know what the old man is thinking.

Otherwise, Mosaic will let the rocket explode in the old man's house.

The old man has a good idea and wants to divert everyone's attention, but some troubles keep coming to him.

"Boss, General Philip requests a video call."

The assistant knocked on the door of the old man's office.

After the old man heard it, his first thought was: Philip was tricked by himself, and now he is looking for him to argue?

But he is not afraid.

"Come in!"

Philip's figure instantly appeared on the display screen in front of him.

"Boss, our current situation is a bit serious! Although we have shocked many people with thundering means, there are still many overseas bases that are constantly harassed and attacked."

"Harassment and attacks?" The old man was very confused.

"Some bases have received threatening letters, and some people in the bases are afraid to leave the bases to relax. Some people sneaked out, but when they were finally found, they were already dead."

"Have you notified the local government to check?"

"The local base leader has notified the local government, but the reply they received was that they had no clues either. It's just that since yesterday, there have been a lot of migrant population in and outside the country, so it's impossible to check. At the same time, they gave us a document and told us that if we need it, we can check it ourselves."

"Then did you check it?"

"We checked it, but it was us who checked it, and the final result made me feel that the problem was a bit serious. The people we sent out to check also disappeared, and now we can't contact them."

General Philip's face was a little ugly.

This shows that their Lighthouse Country's overseas bases have been targeted.

The local government was unwilling to intervene, and completely pushed the matter out.

They probably knew something, but they just didn't say it.

The old man knew that this must be an extension of the influence of the previous incident.

The mercenaries who targeted them openly were all hit, but there must be some in secret. As long as they don't expose their whereabouts or don't leave the city, they are safe.

Those who are targeting them know that no matter how crazy the Lighthouse Country is, it dare not throw missiles directly into the city.

"First, let all overseas people stay in the base and don't go out. Let the aircraft drop the supplies directly or let the local government send them to the base."

"Establish a special team to hunt down those who are not on good terms with us around the world..."

As he spoke, the old man stopped.

If this is not done, it will probably not have much effect. Those people will hide.

"Let the mercenary group under our control directly clean up other mercenary organizations in the name of fighting terrorists, and do this in the spirit of "it's better to kill 100 by mistake than to miss one." We also broadcast live, so that we can get more funds and even reduce the pressure on our capital investment."

"After all, our country is under great financial pressure now, especially the pensions for the more than 4,000 people killed in action, which is simply an astronomical figure."

"Now the families of those people come to ask for compensation every day. If the compensation is based on the standard, it will reach about 1.6 billion US dollars, and this is only the current expenditure. There will be continuous expenditures for family members and children in the future, which is also a considerable expense."

The old man had a headache when he said this.

Originally, part of this was paid by the insurance company, but the insurance company refused to pay.

The reason given was: "It is impossible to identify how many people died and who the dead were. It is possible that they did not die and can only be considered missing on the battlefield."

This reason really made him unable to complain.

But there is nothing wrong with what the insurance company said.

After all, they went down with a medium-range missile and the entire base was gone.

It is even more impossible to have corpses, so how to identify the dead.

It can only be considered missing on the battlefield, and there will be no compensation.

Faced with this huge amount of money, he certainly didn't want to pay it and wanted to shirk it.

After all, dead people have no value.

But now many people have evidence in their hands. They are all live broadcasts, and each one is still very clear.

The moment of death was filmed, and there was also an order from the person in charge of the base.

Where did all these damn images come from?

He was watching the live broadcast at that time, and almost all the live broadcast rooms were mosaic.

If it were all mosaics, he would have defaulted on his debt.

"BOSS, you don't have to pay this amount of money. You may have forgotten our country's regulations on soldiers killed in action."

There are several things that don't fit here, so they can't be counted as killed in battle.

[There is no combat order issued by superiors. Soldiers who die on the spot due to enemy fire during patrols or encounters sneak attacks will not be counted as killed in action. 】

[The superior issued a combat order, but the soldier was attacked by a third party (civilian armed force, third-party supporting armed force) and died on the spot, which is not counted as a death in battle. 】

Philip immediately gave the old man some knowledge about the calculation standards for the deaths of their Lighthouse Nation.

The old man called him an expert.

"So, we don't have to compensate the more than 4,000 people this time. This is really the best news I have heard recently."

The old man showed a rare bright smile, and his white eyebrows trembled.

(PS: The above conditions for death in battle are all true. In fact, there is a more perverted judgment point that people don’t care about: “death on the spot”!)
