Among them, the nearly 100 officers and soldiers of Shuguang Military Base were naturally the loudest, because those who died in this battle were all their comrades. Although the 2nd Fleet also fought, they were like lions fighting rabbits.
Most of the fleet was used to deal with several Jiepen starships. The energy cannons fired by Jiepen starships in a hurry to escape did not even break through their energy shields.
Of course, just because there are no casualties does not mean that someone has no merit. It takes a lot of courage to dare to confront the two full-sized main fleets of the Jiepen people with an under-equipped fleet and not retreat even half a step. One is not good.
The medals received by the commanders of the 3rd Squadron here are really just receiving them on behalf of them.
After the emotions of the officers and soldiers present had finished venting, Changsun Hong pressed his hands together, waited until the whole place fell silent, and said: "Originally, this time the Military Affairs Department was entrusted by the **** Club to give the collective and the honor to those who performed bravely in the battle of the Yaoguang Star Territory.
The award was given to an individual, but after Yuan learned about it, he thought it was not enough, the standard of the award was not enough, and the scope was not enough. Now I invite Yuan to come and give a speech to everyone!"
Everyone below was stunned.
They are federal soldiers, and the Ministry of Military Affairs is already the highest command organization. Unexpectedly, the first person in the federation still feels that the standards are not enough, and even wants to come in person.
It wasn't until the federal Yuan Mingdonglai, whom they had seen in the video, walked up from behind the simply decorated ceremony podium with a solemn expression on his face that the soldiers had to believe that this was true.
Ming Donglai stood in front of the stage and stared at the excited officers and soldiers at the foot of the steps. After a while, he finally spoke: "What Chief Chang Sun just said, I just heard it from behind the stage. I was really moved by it! Yes!"
Without the sacrifices of you and your comrades, Tianqinghe could still be so quiet, and Duxing could still have magnificent mountains and rivers. At the same time, I feel a little ashamed. Chief Changsun didn’t make it clear just now. I didn’t feel that I only felt the standard after learning about this matter.
It's not enough, but I decided after thinking about it for a long time and after you arrived in Capital City.
I am the head of state, and I must consider all aspects. Every year, ministries will commend each other, and I will rarely attend. I was also worried that other ministers would say that I was biased and only came to the Ministry of Military Affairs. But I just saw you.
The moment I walked with the military salute and tears in my eyes, I was very glad that I had made this decision. Without the soldiers to protect our country, that country would no longer be a country. Where would the other commendations come from? You are the true representatives of the Federation.
Backbone! On behalf of the 40 billion people of the Federation, I salute you, all the federal soldiers fighting on the border, and all federal soldiers who stick to their combat posts!"
"Long live the Federation!"
...
Amidst the thunderous slogans, Ming Donglai’s voice resounded throughout the square: “First of all, on behalf of myself, I declare Order No. 2. From now on, all federal troops, from generals to soldiers, regardless of rank or position, will be promoted to
Subsidy level one!”
Thunderous applause!
It has to be said that this Yuan is a real person. He was not busy pouring chicken soup for the soul when he came up. He came directly to the practical work and directly increased the one-level allowance for the entire federal army. Even though it is only one level, it is quite a lot. Southwest
The Federation values military personnel, and the salary of military personnel is at least twice as high as that of civil servants of the same level. For example, Ming Donglaiyuan is already the highest-level civil servant in the Federation, but his salary is not as high as that of civil servants of the same level.
He went to Sun Hong, the chief of military affairs who was one level below him. Even a superior soldier like Zhu Yidao, who had only been in the army for three years, was comparable to the captain of the police force in a big city on the planet if only his salary was counted.
This has also been a national policy established since the founding of the Southwest Federation. No one complains about the generous treatment of soldiers, but whether it is expanding territory or fighting with other forces, soldiers are always on the front line, and they are the ones with the best treatment.
Occupation is also the most risky occupation.
And another profound meaning contained in this is to make the soldiers present stand taller. Yuan's order was issued because of them. Wherever you go from now on, you can pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, and don't yell at me.
, I don’t have the first-level subsidy you have. In other words, the order belongs to Yuanxia, but the favor must be extended to people like them.
Not to mention the troops present, General Tang Yunsheng, who was also paying attention to this place dozens of light years away, was stunned for a moment after Ming Dong came to announce his decision, with a wry smile on his face. Yuan, this
Favors are really expensive to give! But he, the Southwest Military Region, must receive this favor. Not only is the order issued, but more importantly, this gift does not come out of thin air. It is the life and bravery of his Southwest Military Region in exchange for it.
of.
However, in the great joy, except for a very few people, no one noticed a small detail in Ming Donglai's words. This is the Yuan 2 order. What about the Yuan 1 order? Was it eaten?
Ming Donglai's voice did not stop. After announcing the Yuan Order issued on his behalf, he continued: "Secondly, on behalf of the Federal **** Council, I announced the **** Council Order 2o19 to forge the battle of the Fluttering Star Territory.
The commemorative medal is made of gold. It is engraved with the Qin warrior mecha and the main heavy cruiser of the Star Fleet on the top, and the dawn is engraved on the bottom. The scope is for all the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Fleet participating in the war and all the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Military Region stationed at the border;
Thirdly, on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Military Affairs, I announce the Ministry of Military Affairs Order No. 1069. In the battle of the Yaoguang Star Region, our Federal Army’s 2nd Fleet Headquarters, Southwest Military Region Headquarters, and Shuguang Military Base will either command decisively or fight bravely.
, each will be credited with first-class collective merit once! The three ships "Mengwu", "Mengtian" and "Li Xin", the 1st Battalion of the Storm Bear Special Mecha Regiment of the Southwest Military Region, and the Lafite Star Militia will be credited with the second-class collective merit once!
The three ships "Wang Jian", "Zhao She" and "Le Yi" will be recorded as collective third-class merit once."
The soldiers below could only express how surprised and excited they were.
First-class collective merit is almost mandatory for the 2nd Fleet and the Southwest Military Region, including Shuguang Military Base. Yuan personally attended such a high standard, and it would be a joke if there was no collective first-class merit!
It has to be said that among the collective merit awards this time, the Southwest Military Region, which suffered the most casualties, was finally taken care of, with two collective first-class merits and one second-class merit. Although the 2nd Fleet had a few more second-class and third-class merits,
But the importance is still not comparable to the first-class merit, but it was all paid for by the casualties of hundreds of soldiers. The officers and soldiers of Shuguang Military Base were not happy about this.
What delighted Tang Lang and the others was that they heard something that could make them put their mind at ease. The "Lafite Militia", which was unclear in the **** meeting, the officers and soldiers of Shuguang Military Base and the 2nd Fleet, were among the few.
The soldiers naturally know the ins and outs of the incident. They should belong to Shen Chengfeng's group of air pirates, but up to now they can only be awarded with somewhat vague definitions. Obviously, what should be done about this group of former rebels within the Federation?
The treatment is still controversial.
However, since they have also been awarded the second-class collective merit, at least they are regarded as federal people, instead of being called air pirates as before, and they will finally live up to their choice to fight with the federal government in that extremely difficult and dangerous battle.
A story about soldiers fighting side by side.
But what excites the soldiers is the commemorative medal, which is usually only given after the victory of a large battle. The Federation has released medals in the past century, but has never released commemorative medals on a large scale. This is the first time in a century.
Because of a small battle.
Gold, a precious metal that has been used for thousands of years, although as humans have stepped into the starry sky and huge reserves of gold mines have been discovered on many planets, the nature of things being rare has meant that it is no longer as valuable as it was at the time of Blue Star.
It is no longer used as a hard currency for various countries to reserve, but is replaced by another rare metal, purple gold. However, this does not mean that gold is a common commodity. Just based on the weight of a commemorative medal, which requires at least 150 grams, its value is worthy of being ranked first.
Major's salary for one month.
Of course, aside from its own value, what is more important is its commemorative significance. Just this commemorative medal with the word "Dawn" engraved on it, it does not take decades, it is freshly baked and taken to the market, and in the blink of an eye
That is more than ten times the price of the material itself. However, that is naturally the reason why no one is stupid enough to sell it.
According to federal regulations, holders of commemorative medals are charged half price at all tourist attractions in the federation, and starship rides are also half price. The most awesome thing is that all immediate family members are included in this list, which is a great way to save money for the whole family.
Of course, with modern technology, the medal contains the holder's genes. Even if outsiders spend money to buy it, they cannot use it. At most, it has a certain value.
The scene once again burst into fierce applause.
"Now, I would like to invite the Chief of Military Affairs, General Sun Hong, to read out the decision of the Ministry of Military Affairs on the awarding and promotion of outstanding personnel in this battle in the Fluctuating Star Territory." After reading out the collective meritorious service, Ming Donglai stopped talking and instead spoke.
He made a gesture of invitation and stood aside first.
"Order from the Ministry of Military Affairs 1070!" Changsun Hong, who stood back on the stage, scanned the audience.
The scene was filled with solemnity, and everyone stood at attention.
Everyone knows that the real drama is coming.
What Yuan Yuan announced earlier was all about collective merit, basically honors and extra salary, but what Chief Chang Sun held in his hands was the medals and futures of everyone present.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the future. Based on the performance of the officers and soldiers of Shuguang Military Base this time, it is safe for the average living person to be promoted to one military rank. But it is difficult to say about medals. It not only depends on each person's merit, but also
It depends on how the big guys evaluate it.
The medal system of the Southwest Federation has been passed down to the present since it was established 3800 years ago. Apart from minor modifications, it has not been significantly changed. The medal system is open to the entire federation and is awarded to various industries in various fields such as economy, society, national defense, diplomacy, education, science and technology, culture, and health.
An outstanding person who has made significant contributions and enjoys a high reputation.
As for national defense and security, the medal system is the most detailed. It is divided into three major levels, namely "freedom", "fearlessness" and "bravery". Each level is divided into 5 levels, and each level is awarded based on merit.
It is determined regardless of military rank. In other words, as long as your merits are great enough, even if you are a top soldier, you may still have a higher medal level than your general and commander.
The reason why medals are awesome is that they are fully reflected in the daily life of the army. According to federal military law, those with lower military ranks must first give military salutes to officers with higher military ranks. However, if you have a Medal of Freedom or higher, and the medal level is higher than yours,
Sir, after you finish the military salute and he returns the salute, it will be his turn to salute you and then return the salute. Especially on certain special occasions, these details that can usually be ignored must be fully implemented. "
There is no such requirement for "fearless" and "brave".
It can be said that the "Freedom" Medal has become an elusive goal for federal military personnel at all levels.
As for the "Victory" Medal, which is the most difficult to obtain on top of the three major medals, no one gives it much thought.
It is said that only a few people have received this medal in the Federation within a hundred years.
Now, their thoughts are about to be filled with the medals they can win.
