Two days later, at the Yanjing Military Training Field, buses were being transferred back from the battlefield one after another. Every soldier was wearing the uniform of their respective military region, because today was the award ceremony after the competition.
Every participating soldier was dressed in formal attire. Each soldier's sturdy and sturdy body was lined up in rows, giving off a very spirited feeling. You wouldn't see any little fresh meat here at all. These were all tough men who had been through actual combat.
Xu Cheng also saw other familiar faces, including Ye Qiu and the others. Although they were still injured, they all came in formal wear. Basically, other than those who were seriously injured and lying on the bed, as long as they could get up, they would be there.
Scarface Li saw Xu Cheng and felt a bit unnatural, but due to Xu Cheng's strength, he still walked over and said, "Sorry about the past."
"It's okay, I already beat you up. If you are still unhappy in the future, I will beat you up again, "Xu Cheng said.
Scarface Li first raised his eyebrows, and then he laughed. "Don't worry, next time, we won't know who's beating who."
Then, the two walked out of the venue. Inside, all of the 500 or so participating soldiers were seated according to the order of the staff.
Xu Cheng saw Commander Xie, the chief of staff, and Instructor Yan all sitting in the first row of seats in the 5th MR's area. This year, the seating order of the 5th MR was quite interesting. Because they won the championship, they were actually moved to the first row. Commander Xie and the chief of staff didn't stop smiling. The feeling of sitting in the front and having people look up to their backs was really cool.
After everyone was seated, a few senior officials walked into the venue. They all stood up, and then the national flag was raised. Every soldier saluted and sang along with the music.
Finally, everyone sat down, and the senior officials gave a speech. Everything he said was to motivate the soldiers.
"Only when you have a family can you have a country. Protecting the country is protecting your own home, protecting millions of families. This year, you have all proven your strength with your outstanding contributions. I hope that no matter where you are deployed, you can become the backbone of the country and protect the stability of the country. The stronger you are, the stronger the sense of identity of the people will be, and the more prosperous the nation will be. I hope that in the future, you can always fulfill your duties as a soldier. I am proud of you for constantly breaking through your limits."
A round of warm applause came from the audience.
The Bureau Chief didn't disappoint them. After giving a simple speech, he sat on the stage and looked at the soldiers with a kind gaze. Then, the Performing Arts Group continued with the next project.
First of all, all the soldiers participating in this competition would be rewarded. Soldiers ranked 200 and above would be promoted by one rank. Most of the recruits didn't have any military ranks, but being able to be selected as outstanding soldiers from the various military regions was enough to reward them, even though most of them were just participating. Therefore, the recruits ranked below 200 were all given a second lieutenant's epaulette and a certificate. However, military merits were not easy to obtain. Veteran soldiers who had participated in promotions in previous years and had yet to enter the top 200 this year would still not be promoted in terms of military rank. They would only receive honorary certificates of participation.
They were presented to them by the commanders of the various military regions. The recruits were all extremely excited. They saluted and received the clothes and certificates with both hands. A few of them were even crying from jealousy. However, they were also very mindful of the occasion. They quickly wiped away their tears and stood tall as they received the medals.
Following that, awards were given to those who ranked from 100 to 200. The recruits' military rank would rise by two ranks, and the soldiers who had won awards in previous years would also be awarded a promotion of one rank.
A total of 100 soldiers stood up one after another and were also presented by their respective military commanders.
Xu Cheng and the others all applauded to express their congratulations.
After this segment was over, the host said in a serious tone, "Now, let's welcome the soldiers ranked 51 to 100 from this year's jungle competition onto the stage."
The audience immediately burst into enthusiastic applause. Then, the soldiers whose names were called stepped out of the line and stood in the middle of the aisle. After everyone else stepped out of the line, they walked towards the stage in an orderly manner. Then, they stood there with their hands behind their backs and their heads held high.
Rookie soldiers would be promoted by three ranks. For example, if a rookie entered the top 100 without any experience, they would be directly awarded the rank of captain. Veteran soldiers who had participated for more than three years could only be promoted by one rank, and those who had participated for less than three years could be promoted by two ranks. In this batch, Wu Hao, Yan Wei, and Wang Ying were all promoted to the rank of major. Wang Ying was also the only female soldier present. A lot of soldiers below the stage were looking at her, but Wang Ying only glanced at Xu Cheng who was sitting at the very front. Seeing that he wasn't looking at her, she lowered her head in disappointment.
The leader on the stage directly gave them a new set of clothes and certificates with epaulette and flower wreaths. Then, the audience immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.
Host: "Now, let's welcome the soldiers ranked 11 to 50 to the stage."
After another round of applause, the soldiers who were called went up to receive their awards. The promotion for soldiers ranked 11 to 50 was similar to that for soldiers ranked 51 to 100, but there was an extra commemorative badge.
After the segment ended, the host said in one breath, "Next, we will present the tenth place with outstanding individual combat ability and outstanding performance. Please look at the big screen."
On the big screen, there was a person holding a dagger in his hand in a forest. His speed was very fast, and people with eyes could immediately recognize him.
Tie Shi!
This year's individual combat strength ranking – 10!
On the screen was a collection of his footage from this year's competition. The audience was full of praises, and then they all applauded.
"Let's welcome Tie Shi to the stage. He single-handedly took out 28 soldiers of his opponent in a team battle, and his individual points reached 10th place. Let's welcome him."
Tie Shi walked up to the stage with a solemn expression. This time, the leader had a way to reward him. A letter of appointment for the Imperial Guards, a set of lieutenant colonel uniform and certificate, and a ranking badge.
The audience was extremely envious of the letter of appointment for the Imperial Guards. That was a letter of appointment that every special forces soldier wanted to get. Sometimes, there were only five to ten spots a year. A letter of appointment for the Imperial Guards was enough to prove your individual strength. Even if the leader's term ended in the future, you would still enter an important position in the military hub. Even if you retired, there would be no lack of rich people fighting to hire you as a bodyguard.
Tie Shi saluted and received the award. He didn't forget to smile and shake hands with the leader to show that it was his honor.
The personal soldier beside the leader was a senior who had just entered the Imperial Guards last year. He glanced at Tie Shi and said, "Junior, that's enough."
Tie Shi was extremely embarrassed. The leader laughed out loud, then patted Tie Shi's shoulder and told him to leave.
Ye Qiu and the others also laughed and scolded Tie Shi. "This b * stard still wants to suck up to me, hahaha."
