Chapter 240: Merit (II)

In addition to the officers and soldiers of the base who are familiar with Tang Lang, the big people on the steps seem to have forgotten that there is such a number one person as Tang Lang. After awarding the medal and announcing the promotion order, Admiral Eldest Sun was already preparing to leave, and it seemed that he was going to invite the Führer to give a closing speech.

The officers and soldiers of the base who received the medal themselves and received the medal on behalf of the comrades who died in the battle also showed a trace of anxiety on their faces, only they knew best how crucial Tang Lang played a key role in the battle of Lafitse.

Otherwise, even if they will still have medals, they don't know who will collect them on their behalf.

However, the will of the big people will not be diverted by the will of the small people, and the chief of military affairs did not seem to see the helplessness on the faces of most of the officers and soldiers under the stage, and invited the head of state to come to Ming Dong, but he stood on the side.

"Thank you, Chief Grandson, for leaving me the last chance to speak!" Ming Donglai spoke. "Give me the opportunity to personally present the Golden Medal to two of the most distinguished soldiers of our Federation in this war against the invasion of the Jeppen Empire!"

Hearing this remark, the officers and men of the base felt even more helpless in their hearts. The Führer was talking about soldiers, so naturally it was Vice Admiral Qin Luochuan, commander of the 2nd Fleet, and Admiral Tang Yunsheng, commander of the Southwest Military Region. One led hundreds of thousands of officers and men of the 2nd Fleet was facing off on the front line against the two main fleets of the Jeppen people, and the other had been in the southwest for more than ten years and had made countless achievements, both of them were eligible to receive the "Medal of Freedom" or even the "Victory" medal.

As expected, as a huge light screen appeared in front of the stage, the figure of Qin Luochuan, the commander of the 2nd Fleet, appeared in front of everyone, and after a delay of a few seconds, the lieutenant commander who was more than a hundred light years away raised his hand and saluted Ming Donglai: "Hello, Führer!" ”

Ming Donglai also nodded in greeting: "Lieutenant General Qin, please say hello to the hundreds of thousands of federal officers and soldiers on the front line on my behalf, they have worked hard." ”

"Yes!" Qin Luochuan stood upright. His eyes solemnly pointed beyond the starry sky: "My 2nd Fleet is on the front line against the enemy, and I can't line up one by one to salute the Führer, but the starships of my 2nd Fleet can, please review them!" ”

As the camera gradually zoomed out, in the starry sky, dozens of starships of the 2nd Fleet faintly appeared in people's field of vision, and the entire fleet was divided into three parts, the central fleet and the two-wing fleet, but it was not a traditional "man" herringbone defensive formation, but like a big spindle, the central fleet was located both in the middle of the fleet and at the front of the entire fleet.

All the soldiers who saw this scene couldn't help but gasp, the 2nd Fleet put out this formation, where there was confrontation and defense, it was obvious that the moment it was attacked, the whole army would move forward.

Although, with one to two, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, they will still choose to move forward. Only then did they have the opportunity to bombard the main guns in the bow of the ship into the Jeppen fleet. But it is precisely because of this that they will lose the last chance to retreat.

And everyone knows that this is not a pose, it must have been a long time ago, the 2nd Fleet maintained this posture, otherwise, at the moment when the commanders of the two armies and even all the officers and men are extremely nervous, any change in the formation of the opposing fleet may arouse the vigilance of the other side and become the last straw that crushes the camel, resulting in the firing of artillery fire.

And that, it represents not the border war of the three fleets, but the complete outbreak of the war between the two countries, a war that even the Emperor Jeppen and the Supreme People's Assembly of the Federation could not prevent. Both countries can accept the casualties of dozens or even hundreds of soldiers on the border, but neither can accept the death of hundreds of thousands of officers and men of their own main fleet.

Whatever is acceptable will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, regardless of which side the final victory belongs to.

Because it was just a confrontation and did not enter the wartime, the energy shield located in the first row of starships did not fully rise, but only rose at the head of the starships, and the faint azure color looked very beautiful in the dark starry sky.

But the soldiers present knew that behind this beauty, there was a thick shadow of death, once the Jiepeng people on the opposite side took the lead in firing the cannon, but in a few light seconds, the energy cannon that was so terrifying that it could almost tear apart the universe would explode more brilliant starry sky fireworks on these beautiful "big mushrooms", and most of these frigates or cruisers or destroyers blocking the front of the entire fleet could not withstand the first round of artillery bombardment fired by the two main fleets of the Jiepeng people.

Of course, maybe the moment they chose to be at the front of the fleet, they didn't want to survive. If that happens, the only thing they can do is to do their best to block the cannon fire with their own energy shields and armor to buy time for their comrades to recharge the main guns, and at the same time blast the energy cluster at the enemy ship in the same way until the end of their lives.

Although he didn't fight, he was brave enough! The risks they took were no weaker than those of the officers and soldiers of the Dawn Military Base, who were isolated on Rafi at the beginning.

The medal was bestowed on them.

"Excellent! You are the pride of our federal army! Ming Donglai's gaze slid over the starships in the picture one by one, nodded slightly, and finally focused his gaze on Qin Luochuan, who was standing solemnly: "Order No. 2021 of the **** Association of the Southwest Federation: Vice Admiral Commander of the 2nd Fleet of the Jin Federation Qin Luochuan will be awarded the rank of Admiral and awarded the "Victory" medal!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Luochuan saluted solemnly.

In the picture, the colonel in charge of internal affairs of the command of the 2nd Fleet, who had already received the news, personally placed a gold star on Qin Luochuan's chest, and the three gold stars representing the rank of admiral shone brightly. The other three captains of the capital ship were also sent by the fleet headquarters at the same time to wear new military ranks, representing the commodore Venus and the rear admiral, only the two golden dragons surrounded only had the dragon head and body and lacked the dragon claws.

The ranks are available in the 2nd Fleet's internal affairs department, but the medals are not, and they can only be issued when they return.

To Vice Admiral Qin Luochuan, no, it should be Admiral Qin Luochuan After the title is awarded, the image belonging to the 2nd Fleet gradually fades until it is blank. In the light screen, the figure of General Tang Yunsheng of the Southwest Military Region did not appear as everyone imagined.

A smile appeared on Ming Donglai's face, and he faced the people with different colors in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Previously, what I announced was the Führer's Order No. 2, and now it is the Führer's Order No. 1, awarding me the title of "Federation Guard" to Tang Lang, an outstanding warrior in the Battle of Lafite in the Southwest Federation's Shaking Star Domain, and the "Victory" medal!" ”

There was silence below, and everyone, including Tang Lang, had an unbelievable look on their faces. So much so that after a few short seconds, with the applause of several bigwigs on the stage, the applause was thunderous.

Including Tang Lang, everyone thought that Tang Lang should be awarded meritorious service, but no one thought that it would be so rich.

What is the medal "Victory"? In the thousands of years since the founding of the Federation, only a few dozen people have been paid on record, and those dozens of people are all famous and powerful people, all of whom have the authority to decide the lives of hundreds of thousands or even millions of officers and soldiers in war. Perhaps a very small number of soldiers of low rank were awarded this medal, but in the end, they all became among the greatest figures of the Commonwealth.

Could it be that Tang Lang will one day become a person comparable to them?

The "Victory" medal is not only the highest honor unique to soldiers, but also has a very high practical value, for soldiers, the most practical one is that wearing the "Victory" medal, you can have the right not to salute your commander first, even in front of the commander of the general, it is also the privilege of the heroes of the Federation.

Although this right is rarely used, it at least means that you have the right to talk to the admiral on an equal footing. In the thousands of years of history of the Federation, there was a major general who used this right and flatly rejected his admiral's commander's strict order to abandon the direct charge of the middle palace and instead cover the friendly attack, and finally insisted on his opinion, the rear admiral defeated the enemy's Central Fleet with more than 60 percent casualties, thus winning the entire battle and not being held accountable for violating military orders after the war.

If it were someone else, it would not only be a question of whether he had the courage or the courage to sacrifice, but the military order of the Supreme Commander would never be judged by the result but by the situation on the battlefield, and the refusal to carry out the military order was itself a crime, and his deputy could accept the position of commander at the first time according to federal military law, if there was no "Victory" medal on his body.

This is the role of the big shots, just a piece of paper, Tang Lang, a visitor from another time and space, has no worries at all, and has a high starting point that 99% of people in this era do not have.

From the moment Tang Lang won the "Defender of the Federation" and the "Victory" medals, the issue of identity has become history, and whoever talks about it in the future will have trouble with the head of the Federation and the Ministry of Military Affairs.

However, unlike others, Tang Lang, who already has the status of a soldier and the highest honor of a soldier, was not awarded a military rank on the spot, but this is no longer a big deal. Everyone believes that a winner of the "Victory" medal will still be a big soldier.

After the award ceremony, all the staff laid flowers in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes and then disbanded on the spot.

All members of the 3rd Squadron, as the 2nd Fleet was still on the front line, immediately returned to the front line to meet with the main force; The officers and men of the Dawning Military Base will each be given half a month's vacation to visit the capital star or the central galaxy, and then go to the military affairs department half a month later to receive the latest appointment letter and rush to their new posts.

Qin Chong, Zhang Wuhui, and Ye Xiaozhou, who live in the capital star or the central galaxy, couldn't wait to return home, not only because returning to their hometown is definitely one of the joys of life, but because they have experienced life and death, they know the preciousness of their families.

Xiaobai and several familiar mecha divisions in Song Dong made an appointment to visit the capital star together, and the food, accommodation and transportation were arranged by the military affairs department, and not going to have a good time was the biggest crime against himself.

It is said that the beautiful lieutenant named Aya likes to listen to his stories, and Lao Bang, who has obtained the qualification of an officer, does not call the commander hypocritically at this time, but calls him "Aya" one by one.

In the middle finger of the crowd raising their middle fingers and angrily calling them "beasts", he ran a little more cheerfully than the deer on the capital star.

Major Peng Hengyu mixed up the third-class "brave" medal, and he had already run back to show off to his son, and he was extremely irresponsible, leaving only the little fat man with a blank eye and staying with a certain "federal guard" who was also alone and watched only male and male CP travel hand in hand.

"Brother Lang, why don't I take you to the source of the Tianqing River? Heard that the waterfall there has a drop of 200 meters, which is extremely spectacular? "The little fat man who didn't get any military merits didn't suffer a loss, and decided to use the benefits provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs to make good use of it, so that he could live up to the award ceremony.

"Oh! I want to think about it。。。。。。 Tang Lang replied noncommittally.

Then, inadvertently, his eyes were suddenly stunned.

"I thought about it, you might have to go by yourself, if not, take my Victory Medal! Let it go and see the magnificence of the Tianqing River Waterfall! Tang Lang's leisurely voice came.

"Damn, for Mao? It's boring to go alone. "The little fat man was depressed.

The result was obvious, he didn't get an answer.

Then, following Tang Lang's stunned gaze, the angry little fat man's mouth suddenly opened, and he could definitely stuff an ostrich egg, the kind of two.
