When the host announced the start of the ceremony, rhythmic music started to play, which was light yet solemn. Simon Riley, Owen, Monica, Heartbeat, Can Opener, and Trigger lined up neatly and stepped on
Drums walked in from the door, walked through the middle aisle under the gaze of the crowd on both sides, and lined up in front of the podium.
The expressions of the six people were solemn, and their attire was very formal. Most of the people sitting in the auditorium not far in front of them were familiar faces. People who are familiar with politics will definitely recognize them. These people are all
Important figures in this cabinet.
Today is a medal ceremony held by the White House specifically for CTU's successful cracking of the poison gas attack. Of course, in view of the fact that the identities of CTU members need to be kept secret, this ceremony is not open to the public. There is no media, and the participants are basically the White House.
With people from the Pentagon, most of them experienced the entire process in the first two days.
At this moment, President David Palmer, the top leader of the United States, was standing beside the six people, looking at the CU people waiting for the medals with a smile on his face.
Among the crowd, Jack Bauer stood out. Not only him, but also Director Martin, the head of the CIA, the NSA, the Department of Defense, the Air Force, the Navy, the Army, and heads of all aspects could almost be found in the audience.
.
"Gentlemen and ladies, I am honored to introduce to you several heroes who successfully saved the United States this time. They are all from CTU. They saved the United States with their courage and wisdom. Now, I solemnly introduce to you that they
Agent Simon Riley, Agent Steve Irwin, Agent Monica Weiss..."
Every time President Palmer read a person's name, that person took a step forward, and there was a round of applause.
Although most of the audience below are politicians, they are still grateful to the six-person team on the stage. Fundamentally speaking, saving the United States means saving them. Their interests are closely related to the United States. If the United States really suffers from poison gas terror
attack, then they will lose not only their future, but also more...
"Thank you, thank you for your contribution to the United States. The security of the United States cannot be separated from your efforts. The courage you have shown makes me admire you and makes every American proud of you. You are true warriors.
I hope you can achieve more dazzling results in your TU position..."
President Palmer affirmed the achievements of several people, and then took the lead in applauding. The audience was also led to applaud, and for a while the six people on the stage became the focus of the audience.
"Here, I will solemnly award you with the Medal of Courage. This medal represents the country's recognition of you and is also your own glory. Thank you, Agent Riley..."
President Palmer pinned a hexagonal gold medal on Simon's chest. Simon excitedly saluted with a military salute, then the two shook hands and took a group photo.
After the photo was taken, President Palmer picked up another medal and walked to Irving. The order of the medals was not particularly particular, but Simon was the commander this time, so it was understandable that he ranked first.
Owen is the captain of the quick reaction team, and he has been on the front line with Simon during this operation. He has made outstanding achievements. No one has any objections to him being ranked second. The others are not important, and everyone does not care much about the order.
, only Trigger. He did not board the plane due to an accident and consciously stood in the last position.
The awarding of honors continues.
"America thanks you for your efforts, Agent Owen..."
President Palmer smiled and pinned the medal on Owen's chest, and patted his shoulder affectionately. The two were old acquaintances. Owen saved Palmer's life when he was a presidential candidate.
With the support of Mo, it also became the sword of the wind in Pamo's hand, solving many problems for Pamo. For example, this time, if the poison gas bomb really exploded in the United States, apart from other things, he, the president, would definitely
He will be impeached and step down. In that case, no matter what he does, it will be wrong.
"God bless America..."
Irving replied in a timely manner, saying that he learned this from movies. It was the first time in his life that a medal was awarded by the president, and he had been researching it on the Internet for a long time on how to do it.
The investiture ceremony went on one by one and soon came to an end. After everyone took a photo with the president, the six people will also take a family photo with the president. This photo will not only be collected by the White House, but also displayed in the showroom of TU headquarters.
share.
Nowadays, there are many group photos in the showroom. After every mass shooting, the agents who handle the case will take a photo as a souvenir. This is much more interesting than the archives.
After the medals were awarded, people began to leave in the banquet hall. Those people were all big shots, and they were very busy every day.
"Owen, good job, I'm very optimistic about your quick reaction team..."
Before President Palmer left, he patted Irving on the shoulder specifically as a personal thank you to Irving.
After the ceremony was over, the White House also arranged a celebration banquet for them. Of course, the celebration banquet could not be held at the White House, but in the TU headquarters building, where the party service company was already setting up.
The group of people returned to CTU, and the party had already begun. The arrival of the six people immediately attracted everyone's attention, and congratulations kept coming. After all, they were the protagonists of this party.
It was Jack's idea to arrange the party here. CTU is usually too busy, so he just took this opportunity to relax. If something really urgent happens, there is a work area downstairs, so nothing will be delayed.
Owen was wandering around in the party. He had not been in CTU headquarters for a long time. Except for a few heads of departments, most of them were just familiar faces. In this regard, he was far inferior to Doki. This guy was simply a communicator.
After being here for a few days, there was no one he didn't recognize in CTU.
"Owen, what are you doing?"
Seeing Irving sitting alone in the corner, Jack Bauer also came over with a glass of wine.
"It's nothing, just boring..."
Owen shrugged and motioned for Jack to sit down with him.
The two chatted first, and Jack didn't say a few words before talking about work again: "This matter is not simple. We and our allies are focusing on attacking Chechnya, the Amir Freedom Party and the Persian Gulf Will, but the more we investigate, the more...
I found that things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. There are many doubts. According to their energy, they should not be able to get a big killer like vx, but they happened to get it. There are also problems with the aircraft, those weapons... Oh, sorry,
My old habit has happened again, I shouldn’t talk about work in this situation..."
Jack seemed to have just realized it, and immediately stopped Slippery. Owen shrugged: "It's okay, Jack, I don't care. You go on, I'm very interested in these..."
Seeing that Owen didn't mind, Jack continued: "We found a piece of information from the cross-confession of the key elements captured. The White Mask organization seems to have also participated in this massacre. I don't know the specific role they played."
What kind of role, but it seems unclear..." bdshare();
