Chapter 254 Titles and Commendations

"The Bai clan stopped the war, awarded the rank of general of Bailong, and became a general of Jin Xiaocai."

When Xue Yuanzheng came over, Bai Zhizhan stood up and saluted, and his eyes were level with the front.

Subsequently, Xue Yuanzheng pinned the rank of major general to Bai Zhizhan's shoulder.

Titles such as "Major General" actually appeared before the last war, and they are just colloquial names.

"General White Dragon" corresponds to the rear admiral, and the Snap Cavalry will be the general term, and together they are the Snap Rider White Dragon General. If it is a major general of the army, it is General Xiaoqi Huben.

These traditional names are indeed complicated, and they are a bit awkward, not to mention ordinary people, officers and soldiers are easy to be confused, so they are generally not used.

To say, it is more intuitive to say that titles like "Major General" can be understood at a glance.

In addition, Major General is the lowest rank of general.

Although both the navy and the army have commodore generals, strictly speaking, a brigadier general is not a general, but a transition from a colonel to a general.

If nothing else, there is no such thing as a brigadier general.

In the past, especially in peacetime, many colonels did not become generals until they retired, so they were often promoted to brigadier generals before retiring.

According to the rules set by Emperor Shiwu, a major general is still the minimum threshold for leading troops to go on an expedition.

It is precisely in this way that the imperial authorities attach great importance to the first conferment of the title of general. In the past, it was the emperor who came forward to confer the title, but after the constitutional reform, it was replaced by the first assistant, but the place where the title ceremony was held has always been the Privy Council, where the generals of the Jin Dynasty had to swear allegiance to the emperor.

After pinning the rank, Xue Yuanzheng gently patted Bai Zhizhan on the shoulder twice.

It's a small, but meaningful move.

From a cultural point of view, this small gesture is tantamount to telling Bai Zhizhan that he has something very important to entrust and wants him to shoulder the burden.

At the beginning, when Liu Xiangzhen was awarded, Xue Yuanzheng didn't make this small move.

Liu Xiangzhen is ranked ahead of Bai Zhizhan, not that his credit is greater, but that he takes advantage of the order of the strokes of the surname, that is, the second stroke of the Liu character is horizontal, and the second stroke of the white character is vertical. No way, the order of strokes of the imperial text is ranked first horizontally and second vertically.

In fact, the White Stop War was also the last.

Army generals are in front.

This is also understandable, the Praetorian Guard is subordinate to the army, and the Praetorian Guard is the royal guard, which must be in front, which incidentally puts the army in front of the navy.

As for the other admirals, the first stroke of the surname is not a point.

The next step is to commend and reward the meritorious soldiers.

It is said that it is a soldier, but according to tradition, they are all officers and soldiers from the grassroots level, and the navy is generally a grassroots officer, and the army will arrange a few soldiers.

In the Privy Council, the recognition and commendation of the first assistant himself was to improve the social status of the soldiers.

During the war, such commendations and awards were often held. For example, during the last war, it was held once a month on average, and it would be publicized in a big way, reporters would be asked to take pictures, all newspapers and periodicals throughout the country would publish relevant reports, and even meritorious officers and soldiers would be organized to give speeches throughout the country.

If the last war had not ended after the Battle of the Watchmen's Strait, I am afraid that 20 years ago, the White War would have been honored as a "meritorious soldier" and then traveled by train to various parts of the country to inspire the people by telling them about the battles they had experienced.

What surprised Bai Zhi's strategic sense was that among the several grassroots officers and soldiers sent back by the special task force, there were also a few pilots who were familiar with Bai Zhizhan, including Jiang Haiyang and Wei Chengwen.

Wei Chengwen didn't say much, he was originally a fighter pilot of the Second Carrier-based Aviation Wing.

Kejiang Haiyang, who was originally a bomber pilot of the First Carrier-based Air Wing, drove a dive bomber to hit the "Jiahe" in the battle of Yanhai, and thus made his first contribution.

As far as Bai Zhizhan knows, Jiang Haiyang was injured in that battle and has been recuperating in the hospital since then.

As for when he will return to the team, it is not very clear to Bai Zhizhan.

Liu Xiangzhen would actually recommend the pilots of the 1st Carrier-based Aviation Wing to accept the commendation!

It seems that he is going to dig into the corners of the wall as well.

In terms of importance, the value of Jiang Haiyang's elite pilots is certainly higher than that of fleet officers of the same rank, and it is irreplaceable.

Like the general title at the beginning, Xue Yuanzheng personally awarded medals to meritorious soldiers. It's just that there will be reporters taking pictures on the side.

In addition, the officers and men stepped forward on their own, and after receiving the medal, they walked away, and then the next one stepped forward.

No matter how great the merit is, it is also the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level.

"General White!" Jiang Haiyang has also noticed the white stop war for a long time.

"Healed?"

Jiang Haiyang nodded and said, "I came here yesterday, and the doctor said that I would have to observe for a few days, and if there is nothing serious, I will be discharged." ”

"Is there a place to go?"

"I went to Lao Li, and he said let me go to the First Task Force. Just ......"

"I'm now the commander of Task Force 1."

Jiang Haiyang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. "Commander, good!"

This guy actually saluted Bai Zhizhan directly in the hall, but it made Bai Zhizhan a little hurried, because it was too abrupt.

Of course, he did it on purpose, just to show Liu Xiangzhen.

This "commander" has already made his position clear.

That was to tell Liu Xiangzhen that he was from Bai Zhizhan's side, don't fight his idea.

No way, this is the second cargo from Lu Airlines, everything is done so simply and directly, all of them are rectums that can be stroked to the end with a chopstick.

Jiang Haiyang is not stupid, he is Li Yunxiang's person, otherwise he would not go to Li Yunxiang, so he naturally regards himself as Bai Zhizhan's henchman.

As for recommending and receiving commendations, he really won't appreciate it.

Fortunately, Zhou Yongtao has been commended.

The commendations are sorted according to the rank of the military, Jiang Haiyang is the newly promoted major of the naval aviation, and Zhou Yongtao is the captain, so he is ranked behind him.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Major Jiang Haiyang, the squadron leader of the 1st Carrier Aviation Wing, and after returning to the team, he will fight with us. This is Captain Zhou Yongtao, a staff officer of the 1st Task Force Command, who made great achievements in the battle to annihilate the permanent fleet. ”

"Major Jiang!"

"You are Zhou Yongtao? Lao Li specifically mentioned to me that in the battle of the Guia, it is mainly up to you to give advice. ”

"This ......"

"From now on, I will be brothers, take care of them."

Jiang Haiyang's enthusiasm made Zhou Yongtao a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, a young man who looked like a secretary walked over.

"General White?"

"You ......"

The young man didn't say much, just lit up the ID in his hand. After seeing the documents, Bai Zhizhan didn't ask much, just nodded.

"You guys talk first, and when it's over, if I don't come back, you can take Major Jiang to the hotel. In the evening, we'll have two drinks. ”

"Still want to drink?"

"Major Jiang has returned from injury, and he must celebrate."

"Commander Bai, this ......"

"That's it."

Seeing that Bai Zhizhan had something to do, Jiang Haiyang and Zhou Yongtao didn't say much. After all, whether you want to drink at night or not, you will talk about it in the evening, and it is useless to talk about it now.

Besides, this is the Privy Council, and they both know the rules.

was called away, not only Bai Zhizhan, but also Liu Xiangzhen.

Of course, it was Liu Xiangzhen who was called by another secretary, and he took Liu Xiangzhen out of another door, which was different from Bai Zhizhan's direction.

It seems that there will be a good show later.
