The battleship landed in the jubilant airport, and in the breath of air, the cheerful military music also joined the sound, which shook Yun Xiao. A few minutes later, this group of participating troops who were about to participate in the welcome celebration came out from under the huge battleship. Many soldiers looked at the scene in front of them with surprise and nervous expressions on their faces.
Xu Le is also one of them, but he is not surprised by the enthusiasm shown by the Federation at this moment. The sunglasses on the bridge of his nose reflect the beautiful noon sunshine, and his left hand drags the box that Jian Shui'er specially sent. , walked slowly from the track channel on the lower abdomen of the battleship. In the distance, Shi Qinghai mixed in with the Qinglong Mountain team, and walked down from the belly of the battleship with raised eyebrows and a smile on his face. He also had a box in his hand, which contained the ACW specially approved by Mr. President.
The straight military uniform and the youthful and persevering face can really be matched with the word handsome. It's just that countless federal officers and soldiers arrived in the airport today, and the two of them were naturally drowned in the crowd.
Most of the troops who participated in the war have returned to their respective planets. The soldiers in Xilin have already started to go home to enjoy the deliciousness of mashed potato stew. There are only a few officers and soldiers who can appear at the Federal Welcome Ceremony today. A small number is a comparative concept. More than 30,000 federal officers and soldiers gathered in one place, and it was still a black patch that spread over the entire apron, which was very spectacular.
The stern and chilling military orders of the military chiefs of the various units sounded, and tens of thousands of federal officers and soldiers quickly lined up on the tarmac. In a very short time, they were divided into three square formations, which were neatly arranged in front of the rostrum. .
The military music gradually ceased. On the rostrum, General Miles delivered an enthusiastic but full of barracks dick speech, and then began to call the commended officers and soldiers of the participating troops to the stage.
The officers and soldiers who can receive awards at the ceremony are naturally those who have made outstanding achievements on the front line. Xu Le did not hear his name unexpectedly. Behind the captain officer, he walked to the rostrum.
There was nothing special about the very disciplined award, except for the excitement and excitement of the officers and soldiers on the tarmac, until President Pabble personally hung a Zichen Medal on the left chest of Xu Le's military uniform.
Zi Chen is the highest honor of the federal military. Even Li Lunatic, who has the most outstanding record on the front line, has not won this medal until today. People in the federal army are very aware of the important role played by Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le in this successful military operation. The character is very clear about his excellent performance in battle, but he is still shocked to see the Zichen Medal hanging on his chest.
When the medal was awarded, President Pabble's dark face did not have any superfluous expressions. He calmly looked at Xu Le, tidied up his medal sash, and said in a low voice, "Little guy, what the federation owes you, It's all back to you this time."
Xu Le did not answer anything. As a client, of course, he knew very well that the Zichen Medal, which represents the highest honor, was mainly to reward himself for the assassination of Medellin, thus preventing the payment of a grand conspiracy of the empire. Mr. President and the Ministry of Defense awarded the medal. , just to make up for the previous debt.
After a short silence, he looked at President Pabble, raised his right hand and gave a standard federal military salute, and said, "Thank you, Mr. President."
There are many more officers who will be honored next, and the most striking one is of course the commander Du Shaoqing, who stands in the wind like Xuemei, who is arrogant and self-appreciating, but is truly amazing and admirable.
The award ceremony continued until the end. Zhong Shouhu, who was standing at the front of the team, walked onto the rostrum with a blank face, his forearm slowly pointed, and the second fingertip was aligned with the brim of his hat.
As the highest military commander leading the entire counter-offensive operation of the Federation, Commander Zhong naturally has to have a different way of appearing.
President Pabble looked at the Xilin warlord who was regarded as an enemy by the federal political circle and was inseparable. After a moment of silence, beyond the expectations of the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers present, he naturally opened his hands and had a warm and friendly meeting with the other party. A sincere hug.
"It's hard work." President Pabul handed a square agarwood box to Zhong Shouhu's hand and said with a smile: "The Federation has no reward for you, this is just a personal gift from me to express my family. The female characters in the show, the admiration for your commanding art."
"Mr. President is wrong." Commander Zhong said with a smile, "It just lives up to the expectations."
Hearing this sentence, President Pabble put his hands on his waist in a posture that was completely unsuitable for a statesman, and laughed out loud.
The ceremony is still going on. Xu Le, who enjoys the sub-division level treatment, among the countless generals on the rostrum, only honestly occupies an inconspicuous corner at the side and rear. Watching the happy conversations of the military leaders in front of him, he felt in his heart. He kept thinking about what he should do first when he returned to Wangdu Apartment later.
At this moment, he saw Zhong Shouhu in the front row of the rostrum, looking straight ahead, but raised his right hand, hooked his fingers behind him, and made a gesture of greeting to move forward.
Xu Le was stunned for a moment, but the federal combat heroes and high-ranking officers beside him had already moved out of the way with envious eyes and clear smiles.
He scratched his head, walked forward along the road that his colleagues had given way, stood behind Commander Zhong and asked in a low voice, "Commander, what are your orders?"
"The upper levels of the federation were dispatched collectively, and representatives from all walks of life in the Capital Region came to welcome them. As far as they could see, they were filled with jubilation and respect." Zhong Shouhu didn't look back, and asked with a smile, "Does it feel good?"
Xu Le lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then replied with a smile, "It's really cool."
Admiral Miles, who was standing in the center of the first row, heard the conversation between him and Zhong Shouhu, and said indifferently, "Boy, this is what we deserve as soldiers, so you have to get used to it."
Zhong Shouhu looked straight ahead, shook his head and said, "General, you stole my lines, this young man was the first one I took a fancy to."
As the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Miles is a real big brother of the military. Facing the question of the Emperor Xilintu, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? The problem is that this guy was taken from Qingcheng Prison by me. from."
Xu Le listened to the two top military leaders arguing about such a boring but closely related topic. He didn't know how to deal with it. He had to look down at the dust on the military boots and keep his mouth tightly closed.
He didn't realize at this time what kind of shock this scene would bring to everyone present, standing behind the two big bosses and having a very private chat. This kind of shock is not only the confirmation of some rumors, but also means that some future issues.
"I declare that the victory military operation has achieved the most complete victory! From this moment, no imperial invaders can stand on our own soil!"
At this time, President Pabble finally started his speech. His Excellency the President, who was a lawyer, continued the superb speech skills he had shown in countless elections. The fruit fell on the fertile land, making the entire airport quiet, making tens of thousands of federal soldiers concentrate, and a strong passion and sense of honor spontaneously generated, which is unforgettable.
At the end of the speech, His Excellency the President vigorously waved his right arm, moved his body slightly forward, looked down at the combat troops and countless reporters and flashing lights in the airport with calm and firm eyes, and said: "Free people will never be satisfied for a while. The achievement of defeating the tyranny of darkness, this year, or next year, I and all of you here will definitely hit the hometown of the imperial people!"
"The Federation has never been a collection of belligerent citizens. The purpose of the war is peace. It is still that time period. This year or next year, we will definitely move forward." Mr. Pabble stared at a young soldier in front of the black phalanx, and said solemnly. Said: "But we will not be carried away by victory. I can only promise you that day will come, but I cannot promise when it will come."
"This may be something that no one is willing to say in a federation that is used to winning now, but I have to say this." Mr. President said with a smile: "Please maintain a considerable degree of patience."
There is still no timetable for entering the mainland of the Empire, and the federal political circle is still hesitating. Even at such a grand ceremony, Mr. President admitted this point-hearing these words, many people in the federal military standing on the podium looked down. Chui, these generals or heroes, the most hope is that the Federation can hit the Empire mainland as soon as possible.
On the wide tarmac of the capital's military airport, it suddenly became quiet, and no one applauded. The officers and soldiers looked at the blurred figures on the rostrum, feeling a little complicated and difficult to understand, and even produced some bad omens. In the welcome celebration full of glory, there will be signs of coldness
At this moment, Zhong Shouhu, the commander of the Xilin Military Region, who no one could have thought of, clapped very seriously, then General Miles began to applaud with his face unchanged, and then Defense Minister Zou Yingxing and President of the First Military Academy Mr. Li Zaidao, They all applauded.
Applause seems to be something contagious by nature, especially when the four military giants made a clear response, the participating troops and the senior officials of the government and Parliament Hill who were inspected clapped vigorously, In an instant, thunderous applause shot up to the sky.
At the end of the ceremony, when Xu Le was about to leave, suddenly a word came into his ears: "Come home for dinner in two days."
Defense Minister Zou Yingxing stood at the forefront of the rostrum without turning his head. No one could be sure whether he said this or not.
