Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1706 1707 The gap is too big

"Hello, this is your letter." It was the same postman, with the same familiar smile. He handed a letter to Shilin who opened the door, and skillfully handed over his notebook.

Shilin skillfully pressed her fingerprint on it and happily took the letter from the dwarf area.

She really didn't expect the second letter to come so quickly, and she didn't even have time to find a way to write a reply to her son Marvin.

As for Xilin, she now likes the efficiency of the Tang Empire more and more: Could it be that these humans who came from afar really opened a special road for sending letters? They were so extravagant that they let the prisoners write a letter to their families every two or three days?

Yes, only two or three days had passed, and Xilin had never expected that Marvin's second letter would arrive so soon. She even suspected that these Tang people were crazy, and they had nothing to do to help the prisoners of war deliver letters - this was obviously not the problem that should be solved first in the war.

She had asked Charlie before, hoping to know what procedures were required to mail a letter from Hotwind Port to the vicinity of Everwinter City: how much the stamps needed to cost, whether the contents needed to be checked, etc.

The news Charlie brought back was not good: because there was not enough time to prepare so carefully, there was no way to send the family members' letters to Yongdong Port for the time being.

However, this issue has been submitted to the city hall. I heard that the new mayor is very concerned about this issue and is trying to find a solution. In a few days, a temporary transportation will be organized to send the letter representing safety to Everwinter City.

This matter was indeed progressing, and Xilin was full of hope. Even the day after she received the letter from her son, she deliberately went to the stall where she bought vegetables the day before and told the stall owner about her thoughts again: she didn't think there was anything wrong with being a commoner in the Tang Empire.

Sometimes it is so cruel: the common people at the grassroots level do not care about the change of rulers, especially in the era when national consciousness has not awakened. They are like cattle and horses, as long as they can survive, they will find ways to live peacefully.

Even if the rulers were tyrannical and asked them to shave their heads and call themselves slaves, they would not struggle as long as they could survive. This was not a good thing, but we could not blame these people for their choices.

It is precisely because of the existence of these people that the bravery and fearlessness of those who have the courage to stand up can be highlighted, and those who are willing to sacrifice for the times can become heroes.

When Xilin looked at the envelope carefully, her eyes widened and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Because this letter was not written by her son Marvin, but by her son Frank! Yes, her two sons seemed to be still alive.

"Gods be with you." Although she was no longer as excited as when she saw Marvin's letter, Shireen still cried. Her daily prayers finally paid off, and her two sons were still alive.

When she finished reading the letter eagerly, she realized that what was waiting for her was not all good news: Frank was injured on the battlefield and one of his arms was gone.

Frank is now a disabled person, and even needs others to write letters for him. Frank's frustration can be seen from the text. He lies in the hospital, not knowing whether his brother is alive or dead, and whether his mother is still alive.

However, he still thanked the medical staff of the Tang Kingdom Field Hospital in the letter. These people really helped him and even gave him some medicines from the Tang Empire. The efficacy of these medicines was amazing. At least Frank did not get infected with inflammation and lose his life. Knowing that both of her sons were still alive, Xilin finally felt relieved. Although one son was not in good condition, they were still alive after all, right?

So Shilin immediately went next door to share her joy with her neighbors, and Fran was also happy for Aunt Shilin.

It is not easy to hear good news during a war. Before, they could only wait for various rumors that the Yangmu Empire was defeated and retreated. The atmosphere at that time was really depressing to the extreme.

But now it is completely different. The elves who once worked for Datang Group have brought the whole city back to life. The streets are becoming more and more prosperous, and people are becoming more and more busy.

Many people began to do what they could because they felt they should repay the kindness of the Tang Empire: many of them, like Shilin, found their families far away in the prisoner-of-war camps.

Those who received the letters were full of hope, and some rumors even began to spread among them, saying that as long as they worked hard, their families' sentences would be reduced in the future, so that they could be released from the prisoner-of-war camps as soon as possible and return home to reunite.

Many people believe this statement, because the Tang Empire did have a policy that prisoners of war who worked hard could get their sentences reduced. However, no one was bothered to explain whether this hard work was considered as family members.

A beautiful misunderstanding is still beautiful after all, isn't it? Anyway, the elves will soon find out that under the superior system of the Tang Empire, all their efforts will be rewarded.

"Is Frank injured?" Charlie asked with concern after hearing about the second letter when he came back from get off work.

Xilin nodded, her expression becoming a little worried: "Yes, although he said in the letter that the hospital helped him with treatment and he recovered well...but he lost an arm, alas..."

"Do you think that if I mail some money, he can get better treatment?" Shireen had been thinking about it for the entire afternoon. After meeting Charlie, she felt like she had found her backbone. She asked this question nervously.

She had saved some money, although it wasn't much, but if it could get Frank better treatment, it wouldn't be a problem.

"This kind of thing... is hard to say." Charlie was just a minor civil affairs official, and even a temporary worker, so he didn't know how the Tang Army field hospital operated.

According to his experience working in the Ice Empire, if the soldiers have money, then those who spend money will definitely be taken care of more... But he didn't dare to say this to Aunt Xilin, because he discovered these days that the Tang Empire and the Ice Empire seemed to be completely different.

Although both countries are called empires, their internal operating modes and spiritual outlooks are completely different. It can be said that the gap between the two empires is greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

"You should write two reply letters first...tell them the news that Marvin and Frank are alive, so that everyone can feel more at ease." In the end, Charlie could only suggest this.
