Chapter 531 Awards
The war is over, because this worm tide has consumed a lot of the number of zerg, according to past experience, in at least three years, the activity of zerg will be greatly reduced.
For this reason, David only stayed at the defensive wall of the fourth frontline base for three days before returning to the base headquarters.
This war has cultivated a large number of veterans who have experienced the war. With these veterans, the fourth frontline base line of defense may be the strongest line of defense in the entire Battle Star.
Of course, many veterans here will be transferred, and veterans who have made contributions will be promoted, and the establishment of the fourth frontline base is not enough to allow so many veterans to get promoted.
In the past three days, batches of commendations have come down.
"Lieutenant Colonel David, the general has been waiting for you!" Babington's extraordinary adjutant stood at the gate of the base waiting for David when he just returned to the base.
"Thank you!" David replied with a smile.
He handed the equipment to Lieutenant Mawson to take back to the dormitory for him, while he went to Babington's extraordinary office.
After not returning to the headquarters for several days, every soldier here will take the initiative to stop and stand up to salute David when they see David.
David saw respect in the eyes of every soldier. All the soldiers knew that in this war, David was the one who caused the least loss to the fourth frontline base, so this respect rose from the bottom of their hearts.
David also returned the salute all the way. When he came to Babington's extraordinary office, he gave at least more than 30 military salutes.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the soldiers at the headquarters, when David came to the door of the office, the door opened automatically.
"David, come in and sit!" It was Babington Chaofan who personally opened the door of the office and welcomed David in.
"Babington, what's the matter?" David couldn't help asking when he saw the brocade box on the table.
"Many soldiers who participated in the war have received awards these days. Do you have any opinions in your heart?" Babington asked with a smile while pouring water for David.
"What opinion do I have, the Rewards Department should have a decision!" David said with a nonchalant smile.
To be honest, even the 'National Fellow' medal was also a dream in the past. With David's current strength, he didn't have much thought about the award, and he set his sights on a farther place.
David's short-term goal is to be extraordinary, and he has great confidence in becoming extraordinary, which makes him less concerned about the awards from the military.
"You don't have an opinion, but I have an opinion. For your award, I will jointly report with Benton and the others, requesting the implementation of your award. We must not let heroes who have achieved military exploits not get the honor they deserve!" Babington is extraordinary but put it down. He took the water glass in his hand, sat down and said.
"Actually, I don't need to do this. It's enough for me to have the 'National Fellow' medal!" David said gratefully.
"It's not your business. If the military doesn't give you the same honor as your military exploits, then many soldiers will have opinions and their morale will be dissipated. This group of soldiers who survived is more or less grateful to you in their hearts. You don't know how long this war will last!" Babington waved his hand extraordinary.
What David didn't know was that after rounds of awards were ordered, his awards had never been received, which had long ago made the military members who knew about them infuriated.
This is not just the soldiers of the fourth front-line base. Almost all the soldiers who participated in the war have benefited from David's miraculous performance in the war, so the report received by the military is not only from the fourth front-line base.
"The military department is said to be very entangled with your military exploits,
They want to award medals, but what other medals can be compared to the 'National Sergeant' medal. Is it possible to award the 'National Writer' medal again, knowing that the 'National Writer' medal you got last time is already the highest level! ' Babington said with a chuckle instead.
He has many friends in the military, and some information cannot be hidden from him at all.
As far as Babington extraordinary knows, the military has held many meetings for David's award, but there are some fixed rules in the military that limit the reward plan that someone proposes.
Babington has never seen a headache for the military because of too many military exploits.
"David, this is the rank of colonel. It is a way for the military to stabilize the morale of the military first. Of course, this does not match your military achievements. The military is still discussing the plan, and I believe there will be a final decision soon!" Babington is extraordinary. He pushed the brocade box in front of him to David and said.
"The rank of colonel!" Although David had already guessed, he was still very surprised.
There is a strict system for the promotion of the military. For example, the last time David was promoted from major to lieutenant colonel was a special case. The military had no choice but to promote him to the rank due to his unquestionable military exploits.
This time, he was promoted to the rank again, which allowed him to be promoted to two ranks in just three months. This promotion speed violated many systems of the military.
Listen to Babington's extraordinary tone, this is not the final plan.
David opened the brocade box in front of him and saw a set of colonel rank inside, he was not happy.
In the conference room of the Battle Star Army, a meeting about David's Commendation was being held.
"This is David's military exploits, do you really plan to respond to this exploits by being promoted to the first level?" General Adams asked in a deep voice, pointing to the long list of data on the projection.
Each of David's military exploits clearly appeared on the projection. Here are the scan results of the defensive wall scanning device, as well as the data reported by the fourth frontline base.
The sniper score alone can shock all the soldiers in the conference room. After a war, let alone any soldier who can have such a record, even the extraordinary can't compare with David.
The military exploits of David alone are almost equal to the sum of the military exploits of the previous army, and the effect it produces is even more incomparable.
David made it impossible for the third-level Zerg of the insect wave to get close to the defense line. This is the key to the defense line of the fourth frontline base. No one can argue with this.
The defense of the fourth frontline base has become the key to the military's counterattack, allowing the military to end the war smoothly and reduce the loss of millions of people. No matter how this kind of military merit is calculated, it cannot be calculated as a promotion to one level. .
"General, David's promotion is unprecedented. He entered the army and was promoted to the rank of major because of his previous military exploits. He was promoted to colonel in three months. This promotion speed exceeds the military regulations. According to your opinion, let David Direct promotion to major general is not in line with the military's regulations, especially David only has a high school degree!" Colonel Cavill, who was in charge of military exploits, said with a very tough attitude.
Although General Adams is the most powerful general in Battle Star, Colonel Cavill is directly under the Supreme Command, and the soldiers who are responsible for assessing military merit in the army are all hard-liners, and they will only execute according to regulations.
In the past, David's promotion was only within the school level, and Colonel Cavill could tolerate it, but now General Adams proposed that David be promoted to general, which is completely different.
There are many generals in the Federation. Some are gradually promoted according to their seniority, some are promoted by military merit, and some are extraordinary and directly get the rank of major general.
But among these generals, the generals promoted by military merit are the backbone of the generals, and most of the current generals in the army are such generals.
If David is promoted in this way, he must be given a real position.
David is only how old he is now, and he will become a general now. After that, he won't even have any merits, but he will slowly work it out according to his seniority, and at least he will become the commander of an army when he is in his forties.
Colonel Cavill couldn't imagine what it would be like to make a teenager a general, an eighteen-year-old general, and it would make him a joke in the military merit system.
"Colonel Cavill, what are you talking about about a high school degree? Look at David's college entrance examination results. He was admitted to Elidia First Academy as a high school champion. Why he doesn't have a college degree is precisely because The forced recruitment of our military, what are you talking about with me about academic qualifications, you should say this to all the students who were recruited!" General Adams slapped his hands heavily on the conference table, and he stood up and said.
Colonel Cavill's expression fluctuated. He thought of saying this in the conference room. Once the recruited students really knew, his life would be sad.
You must know that every student who will be recruited is an absolute genius, and these geniuses will be elites in the army in the future.
"General Adams, Colonel Cavill, otherwise, the war is over, why don't David go to the military academy for a year, and then be promoted to the rank of major general, which is better for David!" .
"General North, your opinion is good, I agree!" A smile flashed in General Adams' eyes, he nodded and said.
General North and General Adams have cooperated for many years. They know each other very well. Although they have not greeted each other in advance, General North has long known about General Adams' plan.
"I will sign to confirm, but I have reservations!" Colonel Cavill said solemnly.
There is no difference between the age of 18 and the age of 19, but entering the military academy for one year is equivalent to solving the issue of academic qualifications, which can also reduce the damage to the military regulations.
General Adams nodded, he felt that such an operation could be considered a child of an old friend.
David is now promoted to major general, and he has real power in his hands, but he can't really hold power because David does not have the knowledge to manage the army.
Entering the military academy is different. Don’t look at it for only one year, but this one-year class is completely targeted teaching, teaching how to become a military officer. After one year, you can not only get a college degree from a military academy, but also master Corresponding knowledge of the chief officer.
After a year, David can become a real major general and manage an army, and his road in the army will be smooth in the future.
David didn't know that General Adams had put a lot of effort into his future. Of course, General Adams made these premise because of David's military exploits. Without these dazzling exploits, General Adams would not be able to do this for him. .
David changed the rank of colonel and left Babington's extraordinary office, and the news of his promotion to colonel spread immediately. Although this promotion still made the soldiers dissatisfied, the mood was stabilized.
He just asked Babington for a leave of absence, he needs to go to Baron Dubois' castle, and he needs to ask Baron Dubois for some things he doesn't understand.
Before going to Baron Dubois Castle, he first returned to the dormitory and took out some ingredients from the space item.
These ingredients were prepared by David before he was recruited, and they were perfectly preserved in the space items. The special space in the space items made the ingredients fresh as ever.
David completely used the materials of the Interstellar Federation to make ten dishes for three people. This time he went to Baron Du Bois's place, and he could not visit empty-handed.
There are not many things he can take out. As Baron Du Bois, he has never seen anything before. Only the Interstellar Federation dishes made by his 'cooking master' ability can be regarded as a good gift.
In the past, David had this kind of craftsmanship, and he couldn't use the dishes as gifts without revealing that he could open the space items.
It's too rude to bring cold dishes over there and reheat them.
Different now, David has a space bag, which is a space item that can be used only by the spirit, which allows him to use the space item in front of Baron Dubois.
The prepared dishes were put into the space bag. He did not take the 'Deathwing' assault ship, nor did he let his subordinates follow him. He only left the base headquarters on a war horse.
On the way from the headquarters of the Fourth Frontier Base to Baron Dubois' castle, David killed more than a dozen second-level Zerg, and the first-level Zerg reached a hundred.
This is the follow-up impact of the war. In the future, the main task of the military is to clean up these Zerg.
This cleaning process will take a very long time, especially the second-level Zerg. If there are too many people to clean up, some intelligent second-level Zerg will hide, and will take the initiative to attack when the number of people is small.
Not all people are like David, who easily kill all the Zerg they encounter along the way, even if the peak armorer encounters the second-level Zerg, he must be careful.
Besides, these scattered Zerg will leave larvae everywhere in this area, and these larvae will continue to grow, almost constantly threatening the humans in this area.
When David first came to Battle Star, he encountered the Zerg in the wild. It was more than 30 years after the last Zerg full-scale war ended. It is conceivable that the Zerg's terrifying reproduction ability.
As long as there are Zerg in one area, it is difficult to basically eliminate all Zerg.
Maybe all the Zerg on the surface have been eliminated, but there will still be larvae and eggs in the ground. Many larvae have instinctive hiding ability, and the underground shielding effect of scanning allows the larvae to have a chance to grow.
But this is also a good thing. This environment will also give the armored soldiers the opportunity to hunt and kill the Zerg, obtain trophies, and grow faster.
The military will not take back this kind of loot. It is the private harvest of the soldiers. For a long time, the soldiers can get more resources.
Opportunities and dangers coexist. The stronger the warriors, the more they can gain. Perhaps it is among these warriors that extraordinary things will appear.
