Chapter 921
When the war officially concluded, it was already the end of December .
Other than the weather being colder and the snowfall being heavier, people didn't detect any difference associated with the seasonal change .
After a war, although Second Army was at an advantageous position in the latter half of the war, the force still suffered a high casualty number, and most of the survivors were wounded and exhausted .
According to the orders from the General Office, Second Army would be replaced with the Zhao Gang-led Third Army and to handover the defense of Wu City . The replaced Second Army would go to Fishbone base for reorganization . At the same time, the General would personally preside over the ceremony and reward the soldiers' meritorious service .
Due to heavy snowfall, the road from Wanghai to Hongcheng was completely blocked off, and airships were the only transportation option between the two places . It wasn't until the end of December that the two armies completed the exchange of defense .
Therefore, the ceremony was set on the eve before New Year's Eve .
This ceremony, which symbolized glory and honor, also gave the 2019 New Year a special sense of delight .
" . . . Granting Private First Class Hu Cheng, the Knight Medal!" A bright and rough voice reverberated throughout Fishbone base square .
At the ceremony, Hu Cheng's face was flushed, and his chest was raised high . He saluted Jiang Chen . After General Jiang personally put on the medal for him, they shook hands . Then he took back a half-step, and he took the uniform that symbolized a Knight and a cheque with one thousand credit in a wooden box .
According to NAC's regulations, outstanding soldiers would be awarded the Knight status, meaning he would be able to own a set of power armor and lead a five-man platoon . He would also have the opportunity to transfer from the front line to the military government system as an official .
Although General Jiang didn't say a word when they shook hands, Hu Cheng was shuddering in excitement . Shaking hands with The General who commanded the entire NAC and receiving his recognition was an absolute glory in itself .
In the tavern, he drank with his comrades freely . Hu Cheng then dragged his drunk body and returned home at Fishbone base .
It was a simple apartment . From the coffee table covered with dust and the miscellaneous things stacked up around the house, he lived alone . But it didn't matter; he would soon receive a new place . Any person who received Knight status has the right to own property in the Garden of Eden .
It was a privilege that belonged to those who made outstanding contributions to the NAC .
By the way, the function of the Garden of Eden was of course not just the unimaginably large CNC plantation towers; the living space that occupied 50 percent of the area was the main function of the garden . As a closed, independent biosphere unit, the pre-war scenery only existed in the Garden of Eden .
There was no chilling blizzard; only eternal spring .
He collapsed on his bed and his snores quickly filled the room .
In his dream, he dreamed of his goddess . In his dream, she finally agreed to his proposal and was willing to be his wife . In his dream, he held her delicate hand and put a ring on her . In his dream, he was wearing the power armor and leading his platoon to insert the NAC flag among the ruins of the Northern Alliance Area . . .
He turned in his bed, and he was clearly drooling
No matter how unhappy his life once was, from tomorrow onward, his life would be completely different .
After the end of the ceremony, Jiang Chen returned to the mansion with his exhausted body and threw the winter clothes on the hangers .
He just sank into the sofa and didn't want to move a single inch .
Although he didn't need to say a word, he maintained a stern expression for an entire afternoon, shook hands with more than a thousand people, and knighted almost one hundred people . All in all, it was extremely tiring .
But he couldn't complain—the rules were set by himself .
