Chapter eighty-four, promotion to brigadier general
Chapter 84, Promoted to Brigadier General
When the lieutenant general stepped on the red carpet, his entourage also came down to the ground, and everyone stood firm.
After receiving the prompt, Lin Dongyun stepped forward alone and stood at attention to salute. This salute was the sight of the Lieutenant General who maintained the salute posture and the school officer behind him.
It is a salute etiquette used when facing two or more officers with a higher rank than one's own at the same time.
It was also Lin Dongyun who had been training in the new barracks for three months. His military posture and other aspects were all practiced according to the strictest requirements. Otherwise, how would he know that a single salute has so much attention to detail.
Lin Dongyun maintained the saluting posture and said respectfully: "Sir, the next officer is Zhangxiashou, Tangqiao Shou, 347th Battalion, 456th Battalion Battalion Officer-Lin Dongyun."
“Haha, take a break. I knew you were young, but I didn’t expect you to look even younger in person, you young man.” The lieutenant general patted Lin Dongyun on the shoulder very kindly and said with a smile.
At this time, the colonel standing next to the lieutenant general took a step forward and introduced: "Lin Zhen Envoy, this is the Governor-General's special envoy, Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue, responsible for the survey work of the Governor's Mansion."
In fact, no introduction is needed. As soon as Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue appeared, the soldier wearing the watch had automatically learned his name and identity from the reminder of Xiao Heiqiu, the assistant. Not only that, these school officers and even the lieutenants who served as guards
, and also learned their names and identities one by one.
This is a forced reminder. When a person with a lower level encounters someone with a higher level, the smart device will force the person with a lower level to know the names and identities of these higher-level people.
This setting is to make people with lower levels remember to be alert when encountering those with higher levels, and to be cautious in their words and actions.
Conversely, when a high-level person encounters a low-level person, the smart device will remind you only if the high-level person is willing.
For example, Lin Dongyun’s two elder sisters, Warrant Officer Lin Dongyun, had no intention, and Xiao Hei has not reminded them of their names and identities until now.
For example, now, Xiao Hei couldn't wait to remind them of the names and identities of the Lieutenant General and the Colonel as soon as they appeared. On the contrary, it was the Captain who was escorting them, and Xiao Hei didn't give any reminder at all.
So this kind of introduction is actually very redundant, and everyone knows it, but it is a rule and must be implemented.
So Lin Dongyun smiled and thanked the colonel for his introduction, and turned around to introduce Liu Junran: "This is the deputy battalion officer of the 347th Battalion, Major Liu Junran. He is a veteran of the Zhangxia garrison and has helped me a lot."
Liu Junran, who had been waiting, immediately stood up and saluted excitedly. While shouting hello, sir, he kept his saluting posture while looking at the lieutenant general and the school officers.
“Take a break.” The lieutenant general waved his hand casually.
Lin Dongyun did not introduce other officers because they were not qualified.
He asked very respectfully: "Sir, do you want to tell everyone?" This was Xiao Hei's reminder, otherwise Lin Dongyun knew the rules.
"No, this time I am mainly here to bring back the Angeli Empire's alien space maker. You must know that as soon as the things are shipped back, they must be sent to the imperial capital immediately. Time is tight. Even giving you a commendation has become incidental. I feel wronged.
You're gone." Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue patted Lin Dongyun on the shoulder and said.
Lin Dongyun blinked his eyes, have you wronged me? What are you wronging me for? Is it possible that a grand ceremony must be prepared for my award?
Thinking about this in my mind, I kept saying: "No grievance, no grievance."
“Major Liu, please have the alien space maker brought here, and I will announce the award directly here in front of the entire army. Time is running out, so please feel free.” Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue said directly to Liu Junran.
“Yes!” Liu Junran immediately accepted the order and quickly ordered his officers to bring the metal ball over.
Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue asked: "Is the video of the whole army on?" He stretched out his hand to the side, and the colonel next to him immediately took out a document from his suitcase and handed it over.
Lin Dongyun turned to look at the captain in charge of this matter. The captain hurriedly replied: "The entire army's video is on, and the current video and audio can be seen in all places in the army."
“That’s good, let the person in charge of the camera point the camera at me.” Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue said casually, and then held up the document as if to read it out.
Looking at this posture, I didn’t know what was going on. Everyone stood at attention and pretended to listen.
"Governor Guangwu issued an order: The Zhangxia garrison performed its duties faithfully and completely destroyed an Anjili space-making device. It is an outstanding achievement. This is a unique and special achievement for the empire! This achievement is reported to the cabinet. The ministers are pleased. Your Majesty is happy. I am very pleased.
I am gratified and deeply honored. In order to commend you for your contribution, I am specially promoted to the first-level rank of officers and soldiers in the Zhangxia Garrison District! On November 23, the 13th year of the Shengping Period, the governor of Guangwu issued the seal." Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue read out in a loud voice.
Order of Commendation issued by the Governor.
As soon as this order was issued, all the soldiers with wristwatches in the Zhangxia garrison area knew that they had been promoted to a higher level from the black ball assistants that popped up at the same time!
In an instant, the entire army, including the soldiers who were carrying the metal ball, could not help but jump and cheer: "Long live the Governor!"
The captains under Lin Dongyun were even more happy. They couldn't help but be unhappy. They were captains and had been promoted to majors. They were finally qualified to wear red-handled swords!
And those non-commissioned officers who can be promoted to lieutenants are also very excited. They can exchange their white Bing swords for blue-handled swords!
Even though it is just a one-level promotion in military rank, for these officers who have jumped up the ranks and can change the color of their sabers, they know that the benefits they get are completely different from before!
Lin Dongyun also saw a little black ball pop up on Liu Junran's watch to remind him that he had been promoted to a level, which made the old man grin. However, his own watch didn't respond at all, and he couldn't help but be confused.
His throat trembled, and he asked Xiao Hei in a dark voice. Xiao Hei, who always answered every question, remained silent this time.
Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue asked his subordinates to put the documents away, and then waved, and the school officers carrying small boxes immediately came forward and lined up in a row holding the boxes.
Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue waved to Lin Dongyun to come over. This scene was projected into the air and everyone in the army saw it. Everyone became curious and immediately raised their heads and watched with suppressed joy.
Lin Dongyun came to the general, and the general patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are so young and promising, I can't help but envy you. Come and see the commendation given to you by the governor."
Having said this, the two school officers at the end immediately opened the lid of the box and revealed the contents of the box.
In the first box, a gorgeous saber with an orange silk thread wrapped around the handle was placed quietly, and at the bottom was a shiny black watch.
In the second box, a set of very high-end military uniforms were folded and placed, with shining ears of rice and a white star in place of the epaulettes.
When seeing these things, the entire army was in an uncontrollable uproar. Even veterans like Liu Junran couldn't help but gape, their expressions dull and their whole bodies trembling, staring at these things without blinking.
Lin Dongyun was a little confused. He pointed to the things in the box and then to himself, and stammered: "This, this, is this for me?"
Lieutenant General Gong Yunyue laughed and slapped Lin Dongyun hard on the shoulder: "Haha, yes, it's all for you. How about a surprise? Congratulations, Brigadier General Lin Dongyun!"
