Chapter 109 Silver Star Medal

On February 4, the largest conference hall of the Perrin city government was full of seats. Representatives of various functional departments, schools, factories, mining areas, etc. sat on both sides, and hundreds of soldiers sat in the middle of the conference hall.

These soldiers all wore military uniforms and looked solemn.

Four or five days have passed since the battle, and some soldiers still have injuries. The steel fixing brackets stabilize the broken limbs, but these have not affected the soldiers' proper sitting posture.

Of course, in the front row of this military-only area, there is a figure that is the most special, because that is David wearing a federal dress.

When David came here in the morning, he was assigned to sit here. He was supposed to sit in the school representative area, but Lieutenant Eaton assigned him to sit in the front row of the military area.

In the warm applause, Lieutenant Eaton, Lieutenant Elmer of the military, Mayor Bernard, Deputy Mayor of Jasper and several other city officials stepped onto the rostrum.

Lieutenant Eaton did not sit down with the other officials, but came to the presiding seat in front of the podium.

"Everyone! Peilan City has experienced the most serious Zerg invasion in twenty years. After our strong resistance and vigorous counterattack, Peilan City successfully defeated the Zerg invasion!"

Lieutenant Eaton's voice echoed throughout the large conference hall through the loudspeaker at the presidency.

"Approved by the Panshixing Military Region and approved by the Federal Command, we will reward the troops and individuals who have shown heroic performance in this war to protect Perrin City!"

There was warm applause again in the conference hall. The most important thing in the Federation is merit, which is also the fastest way to advance.

The population base of the Interstellar Federation is extremely large. Except for a very small number of cadets from higher military schools, they will get the qualifications of officers upon graduation. Most of the officers are promoted by merit.

Even those officers who graduated from higher military academies could not continue to be promoted without corresponding merits afterwards.

Compared with ordinary people, being able to get merit is the fastest way to improve social status.

"First of all, on behalf of the military, I would like to thank the citizens who responded to the call. This time, 53 civilian soldiers were recruited by the army to participate in the war. Thirty-nine people died in battle. The Panshixing Military Region posthumously awarded these 39 civilian soldiers. For the soul of the Federation, their children enjoy free education until they graduate from university, and have the right to apply for military academies first!" Lieutenant Eaton said in a deep voice.

Although there has always been gossip in Peilan City, the battle a few days ago was extremely tragic, but no one expected that thirty-nine civilian soldiers died among the powerful soldiers, and almost all the civilian soldiers who were recruited died. most of them.

In the cognition of ordinary people, the armored soldier wearing the exoskeleton armor is almost a powerful representative.

After Lieutenant Eaton's announcement, several staff members led the weeping families to the stage to receive the honors belonging to thirty-nine civilian soldiers.

David found out the honor of the soul of the Federation from his memory, which is almost the same as the title of martyr in the previous life, and it is an exclusive title for those who died in the war.

Their families can receive credit points issued by the federal government every month to maintain their own living, which is also the way the federal government solves the worries of frontline soldiers.

David actually knew that the role of these civilian armorers was very limited. During the entire war, they only contained a few tearing insects, and then they were affected by the bewitched brain insects and lost their combat effectiveness. Even thirty-five armored soldiers directly became Bewitched brainworm slaves.

But the military must reward the dead civilian soldiers, otherwise it will be difficult to recruit civilian soldiers to fight when needed.

David sat up straight, maintaining the same posture as the soldier beside him.

Rewards are awarded one by one, from the medics who are not afraid of life and death, to the soldiers who stand on other city walls, but David found that except for the rewards of the victims, almost 100% of the rewards, the rest of the soldiers who participated in the war were only rewarded for the most outstanding contributions. .

And until the announcement of the reward of the soldier of the army,

All rewards are ordinary military exploits without medals.

David thought of a sentence he had heard before. The Interstellar Federation is very strict about the actual medal distribution, almost to the point of being harsh.

Now it seems that it may be an important life-and-death battle for Perrin City, but for the Rockstar Military Region, this is just a small defense war. It is inappropriate to issue too many medals for such a war. .

"Let's invite Lieutenant Elmer and Sergeant Gillard to come to power!" Lieutenant Eaton said in a deep voice.

Lieutenant Elmer and Sergeant Gillard walked to the presiding stage and stood facing the crowd.

"Thank you for your bravery. On behalf of the military region, I award you the Iron Star Medal!" Lieutenant Eaton looked at the two subordinates with a smile on his face, took the Iron Star Medal from the soldiers on the side, and put them on respectively.

"Fight for the Commonwealth, die for the Commonwealth!" Lieutenant Elmer and Gillard shouted in unison, then gave a military salute to Lieutenant Eaton, and then to the audience, showing the iron in front of him. Star Medal.

Even more warm applause sounded. This is an honor that Perrin City has not had for many years. It is the first time that someone in Perrin City has received an actual medal after Hans came to Perrin City with the title of 'National Scholar'.

"Everyone, I think everyone knows that in this war, a hero appeared in our Perlan City. One used a long-range sniper gun to kill 112 first-level Zerg and three second-level Zerg. Among them is the nightmarish bewitching brainworm who saved Perrin and millions of citizens!" Eaton's voice grew stronger and stronger as he narrated.

In the conference hall of Nuoda, everyone knew who the hero was, and their eyes were all focused on David sitting in the middle of the first row below.

"Have the heroes of Perrin, David Kerr, come to power!" Lieutenant Eaton exclaimed.

Everyone in the conference hall stood up, even the well-disciplined soldiers stood up neatly and applauded for David.

It was the first time that King David II encountered such a scene. He took a deep breath, stabilized his somewhat excited heart, and stood up and walked onto the rostrum.

"David, I thank you on behalf of the military!" Lieutenant Eaton stepped forward and hugged David, as if that was the only way to express his feelings at this time.

"Lieutenant Eaton, I just did what I was supposed to do!" David said cautiously.

"The Rock Star Military Region entrusted me to award you the Silver Star Medal and record your achievements in your military exploits. The military welcomes you to join after graduation at any time!" Lieutenant Eaton said loudly.

"Boom", the entire conference hall boiled.

It turned out to be the Silver Star Medal, which is already the highest medal that the Rock Star Military Region can grant, and the highest-level medal must be awarded directly by the Federal Command.

You must know that David is not a soldier, and the Silver Star is generally only available to soldiers.

In fact, David's military reserve combatant status played a big role in the determination of the medal.

David is different from those temporarily recruited civilian soldiers. He is a person who really belongs to the military, but he is only a reservist who is not valued.

But whether it is preparation or formal, they are all people in the military system, which makes the military unanimously approved the selection of military medals when choosing the reward for David.

As for why it is the Silver Star Medal, the biggest reason for this is the bewitching brain worm.

Even killing a Bewitching Brainworm on a Battle Star will get you a big reward, not to mention it's a rock star on the edge of a war zone.

Another reason is David's potential. A powerful sniper who has not yet become a soldier, can rely on long-range sniper artillery to kill 112 first-level Zerg and three second-level Zerg. In the investigation, he has become a powerful sniper. The aptitude of a soldier, such a potential genius, has also been boosted when setting the medal level.

Lieutenant Eaton hung the silver star medal with silver light on David's chest and patted David lightly to show his encouragement.

David looked at everyone in the audience. He saw Hans with a proud smile, Bertha with the same expression next to Hans, and little Edie who was still a little ignorant, but clapped along.

He saw Teacher Henrietta at the school, and several teachers from memory that he hadn't really seen.

He also saw several of his friends, Myron, Jim, Daly, and De Quincy.

David bowed to the audience and returned to his seat wearing the Silver Star.
