Chapter 367: Medals of Different Meanings
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day.
During this time, Qiu Shaohan was the first to leave, followed by Pan Guang.
Fang Han followed Shen Yun to perform different tasks every day in the camp, and slowly understood what transportation support was all about.
Of course, the two officers also practiced it when they were on the spot.
Shen Yun did not follow Fang Han to the port of Brega to welcome the second group of peacekeepers, at this time he still had to count all kinds of materials and equipment in the camp, waiting for Fang Han to bring people to receive them.
In this extremely boring day, when Shen Yun finally counted everything, the soldiers on duty at the gate of the camp reported that the convoy of his own people was slowly coming not far away.
With several company commanders and instructors, Shen Yun stood at the gate of the camp.
Along with the second group of fighters came the officers of the peacekeeping battalion. It's not Maisel this time, but the rank of Major General Hansi also makes Shen Yun and them feel valued.
"Your Excellency is welcome to come and inspect it."
Although Shen Yun didn't know this, he still saluted him with the officers behind him.
"Hello, Captain, I've heard your name back in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. You can call me Major General Musir. ”
Nodding, Shen Yun greeted him again, and then turned his gaze to the officers and soldiers behind Fang Han: "Comrades-in-arms, welcome to the Central Lisibia Transportation Support Center. ”
After inviting the group into the camp, Shen Yun arranged for the platoon commanders of each squad to be responsible for leading the soldiers to dinner, while he invited Major General Mu Sier, Fang Han and the company-level commander to the conference room.
"General Musir, I don't know how to arrange the handover?"
Listening to Shen Yun's request for instructions, Mu Sier nodded: "Shen, the handover ceremony doesn't need to be too complicated, what you did before, do it now." I need to tell you that, in recognition of your excellent work, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations has decided to award you the Peace Medal. ”
Shen Yun was stunned.
Peace medal, this thing Shen Yun had heard of before.
In fact, the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations produces a batch of such medals every year and awards them to the countries with the most outstanding peacekeeping missions in the world.
Despite the fact that the number of winners is in the hundreds, in terms of countries, only one country can receive such an honor every year.
For countries that often spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars on peacekeeping missions, receiving such a medal is not only an honor, but also can expand the influence of their own military in some war-torn areas.
Shen Yun never thought that this year's medal would be given to these people.
After coming back to his senses, Shen Yun saluted Mu Sier very respectfully: "Your Excellency, General, thank you for the recognition of our work by the Ministry of Peacekeeping Operations. I have a request to be able to perform a handover ceremony in the open space outside the door. ”
"At the end of the handover ceremony, His Excellency the General was able to present medals to our fighters as a way to inspire the second group of fighters to better serve the people of Lisibia."
Shen Yun's request, Mu Si'er naturally would not refuse.
"Captain, your request, to make it official. It is my sincere hope that the successor will be as good as you. ”
"Fang Han is my classmate, his ability is higher than mine, and he is more stable and thoughtful in dealing with problems. I think that for the peacekeeping command, he is the person who is most needed for the transportation support mission. ”
The very straightforward praise of Fang Han made Fang Han look at Shen Yun with gratitude.
He knew very well in his heart that Shen Yun was paving the way for himself.
At the same time, a pressure rose in his heart.
After discussing the matter, Shen Yun informed the soldiers of the cooking class to bring over the reserved meals, and after a hearty lunch, they rested for half an hour briefly, and then in the scorching sun, the group came to the assembled soldiers.
As a half-landlord, Shen Yun spoke first.
In a short period of five minutes, Shen Yun welcomed the second group of peacekeepers in extremely earnest terms. At the same time, the responsibilities and missions of the transport support force were affirmed three times.
And Fang Han's promise also made the soldiers surging with new waves: "Go abroad and stay away from your relatives." If we follow the ancient military allusions, we can be regarded as a last battle. ”
"With the foundation laid for us by the first batch of comrades, if we still don't do our job well and don't get recognition, then this peacekeeping mission will be in vain. I hope that you can remember one sentence, we, the soldiers of the Chinese people, can fight when called, and we will win the war. ”
"It is necessary to fight the task of transportation support as a tough battle."
The flag symbolizing the transportation support team was handed over to Fang Han, and the handover ceremony was officially over.
But at this time, Shen Yun did not notify the end. While the soldiers were wondering to themselves, they saw a car from the peacekeeping headquarters slowly drive up to them, and then opened the door.
"Friends," said Mousel, who was translated into a more affectionate manner, "in this car before you, there are five hundred bronze medals. ”
"I don't think you'll be able to guess how they came about."
Mu Sir was obviously prepared to tell a very long story, and Shen Yun was ready to listen to it.
"The materials of these medals are all bullet casings of mobile phones of the Ministry of Peacekeeping Operations after the armed forces in various places. Basically there are bullets and shells of all types. ”
Who came up with this idea, Shen Yun really felt a little nervous in his heart.
He was convinced that behind these medals there must be countless blood and lives. But now, it is whitewashed as a medal of honor.
"Is there a feeling of discomfort in your heart?" Muser seemed to see through everyone's minds and took the initiative to ask the question.
"The reason why we are doing this is that we want you to see that although you have done a good enough, it is not enough for these countries and regions that are caught in the flames."
"It is an encouragement, a supervision, and a warning. Everyone is a soldier, and all they learn is the means to solve problems by force. But I hope that every one of us here, for the rest of our lives, will not use this means. ”
"If you have to use it, it's for protection, not harm."
The translator is also a person with a very strong background in Chinese literature, and Musel's speech was translated into extremely shocking words by him.
Hearing these words, the soldiers who had worked hard with Shen Yun for more than five months suddenly felt that what they had done was really insignificant to this world.
After leaving a period of time for the soldiers to savor this passage carefully, after that, in Shen Yun's command, the soldiers began to walk to the front of the car in an orderly manner to receive this medal with a very different meaning.
