The above action was very fast, and in less than three days, a colonel was sent to take over Zhao Li's work.

In such a hurry, Zhao Li didn't feel flustered at all, as if he had expected it. In the barracks of Rainforest Mining, the colonel was introduced directly to the soldiers in the barracks. The soldiers stood in a neat line, not seeming to feel any difference in the handover.

Zhao Li is the supreme governor of the edge planet, and it is this position that has been handed over this time. The change from a major to a colonel also shows the importance that the superiors attach here. However, limited by the laws of the periphery, it is not destined to be possible to have many soldiers, one colonel, enough.

The commander of the Golden Five-Star Region is currently Captain Lao Lai. This is one of Zhao Li's most trusted people. In fact, the commanders who were distributed in almost every region were the first group of fighters in the Golden Five Stars. There is absolutely no doubt about their loyalty to Zhao Li.

According to Kang Hongyuan's feedback, it seems that when the Ministry of Commerce was discussing the trade issue of the free port, they more or less talked about the topic of rainforest mining involving monopoly industries and unfair competition, and they all expressed their intention to sanction this kind of commercial monopoly. It seems that this is the real purpose of these people.

For Kang Hongyuan's far-sightedness at that time, Zhao Li admired the five-body throw, not only Zhao Li, but also several other people, James, Yelin and others. Even Li Mengdie, who should theoretically be biased towards a genius school, only shook his head when he talked about this matter, and didn't say anything.

Monopolize? Unfair competition? This seems to have become a nonsense in front of two companies that deal in similar products, Rainforest Mining and Five Star Mining. Kang Hongyuan has nothing to hide at all, since the people from the Ministry of Commerce have raised this issue, then the reality shows that there is no such thing at all. The people at the Ministry of Commerce were dumbfounded by what had happened in the wartime months of Rainforest Mining, and they didn't know what to say.

There is no need for Kang Hongyuan's unique law to move out of the edge planet at all, even if it is put into the framework of the Federation, the current situation is absolutely reasonable and legal, and there will definitely be no problems.

Zhao Li left with this good news, and when he left, he did not forget to despise the shameless practice of the Ministry of Commerce in his heart.

followed Zhao Li away, as well as Li Mengdie. She was also recalled by the genius school to report on her work, and as for what happened during the period, Zhao Li, Li Mengdie and Kang Hongyuan had already colluded several times. According to Kang Hongyuan's suggestion, Li Mengdie just appropriately concealed some things that were not within his purview, and others, to tell the truth, even if he used technical means to take a polygraph, he would not find anything strange in it.

Sanders stayed, he is now the chief instructor of the City Management Guard of the Edge Planet, specially hired, which gives this guy a chance to finally get over the addiction of training a large number of people again.

Sitting in the battleship specially dispatched by the military, Zhao Li could even see that some civilian aircraft and transport ships had begun to fly to the edge planet, I don't know if it was for trade or gambling. It is undeniable that this kind of money-making business opportunity is always a businessman who is one step faster than a political axe.

"Hahaha!" Standing at the door of the battleship, seeing Zhao Li appear, General Lucas greeted him with a laugh, grabbed Zhao Li's shoulders, and looked up and down several times: "Our hero is back!" As he spoke, he let go of his hand and took two steps back, as if he wanted to see Zhao Li clearly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Li hurriedly stood up and saluted, General Lucas was intimate with him, but the understanding of his superiors and subordinates could not be omitted.

General Lucas returned the salute, and then put a handful on Zhao Li's shoulder: "Go, go inside!" The soldiers next to him had never seen the general like this, and they didn't know what was going on, and they waited until the general left, and then they began to talk to each other, asking who the person the general had just put on his shoulder.

Li Mengdie has been silently following, as a student of the genius school, he has long been accustomed to the traditional military's treatment of choosing a surname and forgetting it. But he hasn't left Zhao Li yet, so he naturally has to be responsible for his safety, although this place doesn't seem to need to worry about Zhao Li's safety.

Following the general, he passed a dozen checkpoints along the way, and then entered an auditorium. In the auditorium, there were hundreds of officers sitting in an auditorium, ranging from captains to major generals.

As soon as the general entered, the officer on duty in the auditorium gave an order: "Stand upright, salute!" Then, there was a chorus of standing salutes.

"Sit down!" The general took Zhao Li all the way to the rostrum, pressed Zhao Li to a seat on the side, and then walked to the front position and shouted for everyone to sit down.

"Today, we will give a hero the honor he deserves!" The general's angry voice resounded throughout the auditorium: "In front of all the officers of our military district!" ”

"Let me reintroduce you!" As he spoke, the general pulled Zhao Li behind him and asked him to stand side by side: "This young major officer, Major Zhao Li, is the pride of our military region!" ”

As soon as the general said this, Zhao Li looked around slightly, and there seemed to be many people below who showed puzzled looks, but many senior officers had a calm face and no expression.

"Maybe you don't know why he got such praise from me." The general also saw everyone's reaction: "I can tell everyone now!" ”

"If any of you can accomplish any of the tasks he has accomplished, you can deserve my praise!" At the meeting, especially the commendation meeting, the general's spirit seemed to be very high, and the tone of his voice was very excited.

"If any of you can lead the soldiers of the marginal planet of less than two hundred people, block the two-way attack of the rebels totaling more than 5,500 people, firmly hold the position, and annihilate more than 2,400 enemies. I can praise you in the same way! ”

On a huge screen behind the auditorium, a video of the war began to play. The people sitting below are all real professional soldiers, experts, and it is natural to see that those shots are not shot with film techniques, but real battlefields.

The intensity of the battlefield made these people who had experienced the war feel tragic. Fortunately, the time is not very long, only a few minutes, and it is the already edited version.

"If any of you can take only four of you and pick up the remnants of the 392nd Airborne Regiment, surrounded by 4,000 rebels, I can praise you the same!"

"If any of you can take two thousand recruits who have just been recruited for a month and have not yet been trained in combat techniques, plus the remnants of four hundred airborne regiments, and annihilate four thousand rebels, I can praise you the same!"

A series of three ifs left everyone below speechless. I hadn't heard of Zhao Li before, looking at Zhao Li's young face, I really couldn't imagine that such a record could be made by one person? Or is it that the rebels are particularly cooperative? With those warriors and recruits of the Golden Five Stars, it is difficult to fight like this, and it is difficult to think of being a hero. Especially in the midst of a fiasco, it is especially prominent.

These are all real achievements, not counting Zhao Li's credit for cutting off the rebels' supply lines and blowing up the supply warehouse, and the credit for recovering the two regions of Pamir and Lin Feng is not counted, but just saying these few has completely blocked everyone's mouths. The most admired thing in the army is the hero, and the people who came down from the battlefield, when they heard Zhao Li's achievements, almost all looked at this young officer with golden eyes.

"Now, everybody stand!" The general commanded loudly. There was a loud voice, and no one was still sitting.

"I announce that in view of Major Zhao Li's excellent achievements, the Military Region specially awarded Major Zhao Li the Order of the Red Star of the Second Class and awarded the title of Battle Hero!" As soon as the general's words fell, someone stepped forward with a tray with a red medal lying flat on it.

The general pinned the medal to Zhao Li's chest with his own hands, and then saluted him. Zhao Li stood straight and returned the salute respectfully. The officers below applauded. In front of so many people, the general supported and praised Zhao Li like this, which Zhao Li did not expect.

The Order of the Second Red Star, which was earned by Zhao Li in the last Golden Five-Star Blockade Battle, was awarded to Zhao Li because there was no way to send it, so it was not awarded to Zhao Li until now.

Just when everyone thought that this medal was over, the general then began to announce: "In view of Major Zhao Li's excellent achievements, the theater command specially awarded Major Zhao Li the Heroic Cross!" ”

The highest level of the medal that the military region can decide on is the Order of the Red Star of the Second Degree. Unexpectedly, in addition to the military region, the theater command also gave Zhao Li such a high honor. The Hero's Cross is enough for the school officers below.

In the warm applause of everyone, Zhao Li had another hero's cross on his chest. To tell the truth, as soon as two medals of this magnitude are hung, in the army, as long as there is no mistake in principle, it is basically a smooth road. Zhao Li is still so young, it seems that winning the star is never a problem.

Today seemed to surprise everyone one after another, and after the two medals were issued, the general did not let everyone sit down, but stood in front again, as if he was going to announce some order again.

Ninety percent of the officers in the auditorium began to envy Zhao Li. It seems that in addition to medals, there must also be a promotion in military ranks, and at a young age, even if it is only a one-level promotion, it has reached the level of a lieutenant colonel. It seems that Zhao Li's future is limitless.

"In view of Major Zhao Li's excellent record, the Military Region specially awarded Major Zhao Li the rank of lieutenant colonel!" The general's announcement made the hearts of the group of officers below relax for a while, and sure enough!

The lieutenant colonel's epaulettes collar flower cockade were sent to the general. The general once again took off the original major epaulette for Zhao Li and hung up the lieutenant colonel's epaulette.

When everyone thought it was the end, the general stood up again and began to announce.

"In view of Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Li's excellent record," is still the opening sentence, everyone has already heard a little familiar, but the next sentence makes everyone feel different.

"In recognition of Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Li's great contribution to the rebels' operations, the Supreme Command decided to ......" The following words have not yet been said, and there is already a roar below.

The High Command, this is not just a war zone, but an honor within the entire federation. After everyone roared, they seemed to immediately realize that they were soldiers, and they shouldn't be in such a gaffe, so they quickly quieted down.

"The Supreme Command has decided to award Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Li the Order of the Red Star of the First Class and the title of Battle Hero!" The general's words were like a scoop of cold water poured into boiling oil, and the entire auditorium suddenly lost its original quietness. This time, even the only few generals showed envious looks on their faces.

The noise simply cannot be stopped, what the Order of the Red Star of the 1st Class means, no more needs to be said. Even a guy like Sanders has said that he would rather give up his persistence in exchange for a first-class Red Star medal. Not to mention these guys who are still serving in the army, have just come down from the battlefield, and are still full of desire for honor.

"Quiet!" The general's words made the lively auditorium immediately quiet. Immediately, the brocade box containing the Order of the Red Star of the First Class was respectfully held by an officer on duty and brought to the front of the stage.

This time, even when the general picked up the medal, he seemed to be a little red-eyed, took it in his hand, groped carefully, and didn't wear it for Zhao Li for a long time. He stood for two minutes before he put the medal on Zhao Li.

"Wow!" This time, there was no need for the general's order, when Zhao Li wore the medal and saluted everyone, the officers in the auditorium, including General Lucas himself on the stage, were all uniformly saluted. The faces of the officers, like Zhao Li wearing medals, were very excited. In the past, let alone watching the award of the Order of the Red Star of the First Class, even the medal itself, I had not seen it with my own eyes, but now I have seen the living medal winners, how can it not be exciting.

Even Zhao Li had already been excited once when he got the news, but now, seeing the real medal hanging on his chest, he couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering.

The appearance of the Order of the Red Star of the First Class made the entire commendation conference reach the first level, and after the salute, thunderous applause resounded throughout the auditorium, which could not be stopped for a long time.

No one asked why Zhao Li received this medal, everyone knew the secrecy regulations, and no one would question it. The Supreme Command will never make a mistake in this kind of thing, which can only show that Zhao Li has indeed made a record that the Supreme Command has recognized!

And all the people of the Order of the Red Star of the First Class are in the military region, which has made the general very happy. Another reason why Zhao Li is wearing it here is to further boost the morale of the officers in the military district.

"Zhao Li, wear this medal until your debriefing is over!" In the end, after ceremoniously commending Zhao Li, the general still had to send Zhao Li to the battleship. However, before leaving, the general still told Zhao Li: "I want to see what those people want to do?" ”
