Chapter 222 Medals and Military Rank

At this moment, He Chenguang took out another foreign language book and said, "You all talk too much and complain too little. Just read more books. Bai Sun is not only teaching us classes but has also started learning a fifth language. What right do we have to complain?"

"If we can't keep up with the boss's pace, we'll probably be eliminated. Last time, the boss inspected the army with the commander. If we don't work harder now, then, hmph."

He didn't say anything more, picked up his book, and started memorizing words, ignoring the others.

Wang Yanbing and the others were stunned by his words. That's right, just a week ago, their boss had inspected the three armies with Commander Gao, Wolf Head, and other commanders from the military region. This was a remarkable event; even Old Gao Gou Tou didn't receive such treatment.

Since then, the three-army exercise had made Dark Night famous, and Captain Qin Feng had done the same!

Qin Feng was now a hot commodity, with countless people watching him. If they couldn't keep up with Qin Feng's pace…

Thinking of this, those who had been planning to relax picked up their textbooks and started studying.

While everyone was studying diligently, Qin Feng had already gotten into He Zhijun's car.

"Commander, what are we going to the sub-command for?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

He Zhijun gave Qin Feng a mysterious look and said, "Stop asking so many questions. You'll know when we get there."

"Yes!"

Qin Feng dared not ask any further.

Half an hour later, the off-road vehicle entered the military sub-command, and He Zhijun led Qin Feng straight to the main conference room.

When Qin Feng walked into the conference room, he was slightly stunned. Good heavens, looking around, they were all at least Major Generals, starting with Major Generals!

Dozens of people were seated in the conference room, all of them officers. Besides Major Generals, there were several Lieutenant Generals.

Such a display would probably scare the pants off anyone with insufficient psychological fortitude.

Qin Feng froze for a moment, then quickly reacted and saluted.

This was Qin Feng's first time encountering such a scene. What was going on?

Qin Feng secretly glanced at He Zhijun, only to see He Zhijun finding a seat and sitting down, completely ignoring him.

This…

At this moment, one of the Lieutenant Generals, wearing an Air Force uniform, Shi Jinsong, directly called out to Qin Feng, "Comrade Qin Feng, come here and sit next to me."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng hesitated for a moment before replying, "Commander, I'll just stand."

It was nonsense. Everyone present were Generals, and there were several Lieutenant Generals. He, a Colonel, was just a junior officer. Was it appropriate? Absolutely not. It was better to just stand obediently.

As a result, Gao Shiwei from the Wolf Fang Military Region shouted, "Hurry up and come over, don't dawdle."

Qin Feng was startled and quickly replied, "Yes!"

If his boss said so, what else could he say?

Qin Feng strode over and sat down next to Lieutenant General Shi.

As soon as he sat down, Lieutenant General Shi began to size Qin Feng up, as if he wanted to see through him.

"This kid is indeed remarkable. I like him. To be frank, I was almost blown up by his hundreds of bombs. I've participated in so many exercises, and nothing like this has ever happened."

Lieutenant General Shi pointed at Qin Feng and laughed heartily, showing no sign of embarrassment. The surrounding Generals also laughed, unconcerned, and even Commander Gao joined in the laughter.

But Qin Feng felt a little awkward hearing this. Was this a trial? Was he smiling while hiding a knife? What were they trying to do by gathering so many Generals here?

Commander Gao surveyed everyone and, seeing that all were present, said, "Let the meeting begin."

Immediately, the conference room fell silent.

Then, Commander Gao took out a document, stood up, and called out, "Qin Feng!"

"Present!"

Swish!

Qin Feng immediately stood up.

Commander Gao said sternly, "In view of Comrade Qin Feng's leadership of the Dark Night Commando Unit in the three major military region exercises, annihilating the Lightning Commando Unit, Wolf Commando Unit, Cobra Commando Unit, Eagle Commando Unit, Mountain Wolf Commando Unit, and five other commando units, and then, on the frontal battlefield, successively destroying the Blue Army's missile brigade and airborne division, logistics support, and using the Blue Army's air force to conduct precision strikes against the Blue Army's ground forces, severely disrupting the Blue Army's combat deployment in the exercise, causing the Red Army to shift from a passive to an active position, and finally, in the decisive battle, beheading the Blue Army commander, after deliberation by the Southeast Military Region Military Commission and approval by the Party Committee, Comrade Qin Feng is specially awarded the Soldier's Assault Commando Unit First-Class Personal Merit Medal and the First-Class Collective Merit Medal!"

Having said this, Gao Shiwei paused for a moment, then raised his voice.

"And Comrade Qin Feng is also awarded the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. This is hereby commended!"

Swish!

All eyes once again focused on Qin Feng. Many of them knew that the commando unit led by Qin Feng had played a significant role in the exercise, which could be said to have turned the tide of the entire battle. However, they had not expected it to be this terrifying.

Five elite commando units were wiped out by them, and they also destroyed the missile troops, airborne troops, and even hijacked the air force to launch surprise attacks on the Blue Army's ground forces. This was simply too exaggerated.

A contemporary war god!

Lieutenant General Shi wore a helpless bitter smile. It felt like Old Gao, that old fellow, was showing off to him. He had such a good soldier.

Absolutely!

However, Qin Feng was indeed excellent. If only he could be transferred to his military region, alas, forget it. Old Gao, that stingy fellow, would never let such a talent go.

Now, he could only try to see if he could borrow Qin Feng for a while to train his own troops, which would be more realistic.

At this moment, Qin Feng, who was full of excitement, did not know that Lieutenant General Shi had already set his sights on him.

Qin Feng suddenly felt that happiness had come so quickly. First, two First-Class Merit Medals, and then a promotion in rank. This was truly double happiness.

Putting aside the promotion in rank, even just these two First-Class Merit Medals were very difficult to obtain for a soldier.

This was because they were facing top-tier opponents, and there was only one opportunity a year to strive for them. The Soldier's Assault Commando Unit recognized his personal capabilities, while the collective medal recognized his leadership abilities.

This way, Qin Feng not only received the highest recognition for his personal combat capabilities but also for his leadership talent, which was a very difficult achievement for many soldiers.

For example, Lei Zhan had only received one First-Class Collective Merit Medal and three Third-Class Personal Merit Medals, never a First-Class Personal Merit Medal. Gao Dazhuang had only received one Second-Class Personal Merit Medal and two First-Class Collective Merit Medals.

They had accumulated such military achievements after many years of service, unlike Qin Feng, who always received First-Class Merit Medals, as if he were picking cabbage on the street.

This was truly a comparison that showed the vast difference between people!

The surrounding Generals envied Qin Feng. The military rank was beside the point, but receiving two First-Class Merit Medals at once. This kid was on his way to the heavens.

These Major Generals had accumulated fewer military achievements than Qin Feng, so how could they not be envious?

Each of them was thinking, why don't I have such a soldier under me? Otherwise, I would also bask in the glory!

At this moment, many people began to envy He Zhijun.

Unlike the envy of the Major Generals, a series of crisp notification sounds echoed in Qin Feng's mind.

"Ding…"
