Chapter 2 Departure into Space 14

Everyone came to Airport No. 1, and at this time, the people in the airport had already lined up according to the size of their positions.

The neat queue showed the good quality of the troops, and no one exchanged heads. When the crowd came in, they didn't feel that there were so many people inside.

An officer ran up to the crowd, he gave Grove a standard military salute and said, "Report to the commander, all the personnel have been assembled, the queue has been organized, please instruct."

Grove returned the salute and said, "Let everyone rest and wait in line for the ceremony to begin."

Be. The officer saluted again, then turned to the middle of the line and took a break. With a loud order, the officers in the queue reacted in unison.

Grove looked at these people and was very happy in his heart, so many officers have a standard of action, so the soldiers below are more unified in action, there is such a disciplined army, if there is a war, what is there to fear.

The most important thing is that these people used to be people from different countries during the Earth Era, and now although the various nations that have become the Earth Federation can integrate them and act in unison, it is really remarkable, and the revival of mankind is just around the corner.

Grove led the senior officers to the podium, and Xingtian and Ares were also led by Grove's secretary to set up their positions, where the rescue team was already honored.

The two of them came to the rescue team and thanked them for their rescue operation, and then everyone waited together for the ceremony to begin.

It can be seen that they are very excited. After all, everyone is very excited to be the first person to be commended and awarded a medal in Space City.

Grove asked if the secretary's preparations had been completed, and if Zion and the other members of the coalition government had arrived at the reception area outside the airport to wait for the ceremony to begin, and after receiving a definite answer, he looked up at his watch, which Grove liked very much, because it was a wedding anniversary gift from his deceased wife.

This watch is an old-fashioned Omega Green Water Ghost. Although the watches issued by the army are now outrageously powerful, Grove still likes to wear them as if he were with his deceased wife.

The watch was given to him by his deceased wife on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2021, the 30th anniversary of his marriage, and was hand-brought for him.

By the time firefighters arrived to get them out, Grove's wife had stopped breathing, broken glass that had cut her carotid artery, and she was soon dead.

This is the only thing that makes Grove happy, at least his deceased wife did not suffer too much.

Seeing the time of the ceremony, Grove was about to get up, walked over to the microphone, coughed lightly, and tried to see if the microphone was correct.

The commanding officer below immediately gave the order: Stand upright. All those present stood ready to receive the commander's speech.

Grove glanced around and said, "Hello everyone, today we are holding a commendation meeting at Airport 1.

The President of Zion and other dignitaries of the Coalition Government are invited to enter. In a round of applause, the gates of the airport opened, and Zion led the group of government dignitaries to the podium.

When they reached the podium, the applause came to an abrupt end, and Grove greeted him, put Zion next to the microphone, and said, "Now I have the President of our coalition government to speak."

There was another round of applause. Zion made a false press motion, stopped the applause, and said: Hello ladies and gentlemen of the Space Force, I am Zion, the first president of the coalition government.

It is a great honour for me to be invited to participate in this ceremony today, and on behalf of the Coalition Government, I would like to thank you for your outstanding contributions to humanity as a whole, and that your heroic deeds should be known to the public.

I won't say much about you today, but once again I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and sincere wishes to you.

With that, Zion walked to his seat and sat down. Returning to the microphone, Grove said: Thank you, Your Excellency, for your remarks, and now we will officially begin the commendation ceremony.
