"Isn't this opportunistic?" Minister of War Timoshenko, who was sitting in the front row, whispered to Chief of General Staff Crowley, "After Operation Yellow Bird was launched, we have suffered 6 million frontline military casualties. As of today
, there are 64 generals who have died in battle, so we will award the highest medal of honor to a young man who took the risk..."
"Everything is for political service, everything. This is a deed that is consistent with the romantic and brave war spirit of Plato. Everyone loves to listen to stories. This kid is really lucky." The chief of staff replied softly.
"Glory and wealth are actually just gifts from fate. No one knows this better than us." Marshal Leahy, the commander-in-chief of the Gaia fleet, has white hair but looks energetic. "What we want to think about now is that this person is less than 25 years old."
How will a young man who received the highest medal of honor at the age of 2 affect the future?"
Although there were whispers under the stage, everyone was still focused on this young man. Receiving Gaia's highest "Purple Star Medal of Honor" at the age of 25 is simply a legend that cannot be broken again.
Lancer Xu stepped up the steps a little top-heavy, as if his feet were soft cotton.
President He Meili was waiting on the stage for this young officer who walked as if in a dream. She was elegant and noble, her dark hair was air-permed and curled into an elegant style, and she had the full demeanor of Gaia's upper class.
As soon as he saw the president smiling at him, Captain Xu became even more nervous. He just stood there blankly. Fortunately, the stage automatically rotated slightly, allowing the two of them to turn to the best angle for the audience to watch.
Lancer Xu stared at this shining purple medal suspended in the air. It was inlaid with diamonds and the highest-grade star stones, with a ring of flashing radiation on the outside. Under the light, it was so bright that it was dazzling.
He couldn't help but close his brown eyes and thought: This is so dreamy! Now there are tens of billions of people on Gaia watching his every move through the media. He became famous in Gaia overnight!?
It’s incredible!
“Today, I stand here to represent the United Government of Gaia and all the Gaian people to award Captain Lancer Xu of Gaia’s Seventh Fleet Gaia’s highest medal of honor, the Purple Star Medal, in recognition of his extraordinary
With courage and confidence, he led three starships as a suicide squad, went deep into Plato's defense circle alone, and bombarded Plato's Sanctuary, a heroic feat."
He Meili announced with a serious expression, and her voice spread throughout the audience with special sound effects. Her ups and downs speech skills added an extra sense of majesty, which made the entire audience fall into silence.
"This highest medal of honor is a tribute to his fearless courage and enterprising spirit." She said as she took down the exquisite Purple Star Medal with a sky blue ribbon from the suspended state. "He made a surprise attack
Plato’s sanctum sanctorum, the beheading of Emperor Plato, made our fleet of Gaia hold our heads high in front of the Platons from now on.”
After she finished speaking, she stood behind the young captain. Due to her petite stature, a small platform was raised under her feet. In this way, under the spotlight, she calmly put on a pair of clothes with a huge purple star pendant.
The blue medal ribbon was gently placed on his chest and tied behind his back.
The Purple Star Medal on the chest of the young man's dark blue uniform shines extremely brightly, and various gemstones shine as brilliantly as stars. Under the spotlight, it shines so brightly that
Everyone was shocked by the glory and majesty conveyed by the scene at this moment, and they all watched attentively.
The female president said to the young officer with a smile:
"The courage and dedication you have shown are a source of pride for us as Gaians. May your courageous heart always guide your path. You see! The backdrop of our current moment is the Local Galaxy Cluster, and the forces of our coalition will be there in the future.
Break through the Milky Way and move toward the entire galaxy. The future belongs to young people. You must go all out and let the light of your victory illuminate the entire universe in the future!"
"Oh, okay..." He still hesitated in replying. He really felt that his immodest shyness was too much in the way, and he was unable to say a few beautiful words at such a grand and important moment.
Just when he was experiencing an attack of coyness, a loud applause sounded. All the tens of thousands of people present stood up. He was the first commander in Gaia's history to attack the Holy of Holies, and the youngest "Purple" in history.
Recipients of the Order of the Star applauded.
"Oh my God! Lancer Xu! The first medal you received in your life was the Purple Star Medal. You made it impossible for others to live!"
"Lieutenant Xu, you are so lucky! All the belongings you left in Section 15 of the General Staff Headquarters were snatched away by everyone. Everyone said they were going to be happy."
When he was pushed out of the awarding hall and entered a wide corridor of the "Star Palace", for the first time in his life, he tasted attention like stars and the moon. This kind of attention made him feel stupid.
He thought that two years ago, he was still a young man who made beautiful tea at the "Jinsha Base" and was ordered around by any officer in the headquarters. Now he has received the highest medal, and is talking to the president, and all the officials and generals.
After getting to know each other, they swayed around in front of him, their facial expressions much kinder to him than those of the base officers.
Being in a spacious corridor now filled with flowers and the pillars emitting a faint fluorescent light, he still felt like he was dreaming.
"Xiao Xu, our civilization is about to break through the shackles of the Milky Way. Our mining company has already skipped the extension of the Southern Cross Cantilever. In the future, we are bound to have more intense military competition with the Platons." President He Meili said very kindly.
Talk to him as if he is a junior being taken care of, "In the future, our fleet will be crisscrossing the galaxy group. Young generals like you will have an infinite universe as the stage for life."
"I will definitely fight with all my strength..." He managed to squeeze out a high-sounding sentence. In fact, his grandfather had talked about "breaking out of the galaxy" before he was alive, but now he is still fighting with the Platos within 10,000 light years.
A fierce battle? Because the minerals within this light-year distance are enough for 43 billion Gaians to consume.
Just as the Minister of War and other senior officials and generals were surrounding him, preparing to say some compliments to the young captain, suddenly Lin Chenhu, a female assistant to the president in a professional suit, pushed away the crowd on high heels and hurriedly walked towards him.
President Harris walked over.
He Meili saw that she looked like something was not going to happen, and gave her a wink, telling the nervous woman not to say anything casually, but to follow her ear canal.
Lin Chenhu understood the idea and immediately whispered something in the ear of the female president, appearing extremely mysterious in front of Lancer Xu.
