Chapter 35: Awarding Titles (Part 2)
Then he saw Li Zhen walking out from behind the door on the other side of the stage.
I have to say that the attack training has been effective these days. He was wearing a black executor-in-armor dress with a black eavesco without a trousers, with silver edges rolling on the cuffs and the trousers on both sides. The silver-colored ribbon was slanted from his shoulder to his chest, and the two gold-plated small swords that hung down were shining under the light. The chest logo, name brand, and qualifications were all on his body, but only a double star on his shoulder was missing.
Perhaps because he was still a little nervous, he pressed the black hat with two rows of silver pine flowers very low, revealing only a pair of black eyes and half of his face. However, coupled with his tight and pursed lips, the young man had a bit of cold and fierce momentum.
A different person...
Ying Jian sighed in his heart.
There was no weak and gentle shadow on the young man on the stage who was stroking on the stage? He was so tall and looked like a very hard javelin, which made him slightly hold his breath.
Li Zhen walked to the front of the stage, faced the royal envoy and the old director of the South Court, and stood still with a snap and said loudly: "Li Zhen, report."
The dean had a stern face and tried hard to make his voice sound vigorous and powerful, and said briefly: "Stand up!"
There was a slight sound from the audience, and everyone calmed down their faces and stood up straight.
Then he said, "Take an oath!"
So Li Zhen raised his right hand and gently placed it on a wooden pallet in the hands of the royal envoy.
There were two things on the tray.
It is also a gold imitation of the imperial seal - this is a symbol of the head of state and the emperor of the empire.
It is also a hardcover book with black background and gold letters, called the "Constitutional Code of the Chinese Empire" - this is a symbol of freedom and justice.
He put his hand on the Constitution as he had practiced. Then he slowly glanced at the audience and said in a solemn and solemn tone: "I am here to swear."
"I volunteer to join the Special Office of the United Empire of Greater China, Pan-East Asia, Siberia and Australia. I will abide by the imperial constitution, follow the truth of fairness and justice, and defend the dignity and interests of the empire. With my body and my blood, my soul, I am willing to fulfill my oath."
"I will remember what I say today, be loyal and patriotic, diligent and dedicated. I will not be afraid when fighting, and I will not be violent when I untied my armor. I will use the military power granted to me by the Empire and the Constitution to abide by the human rights of respecting my talents throughout my life."
"This is an oath."
His voice was sonorous and powerful, clear and clear. This oath that almost everyone present had been repeated seemed to be passionate and filled with hearts. No matter what he had experienced afterwards, who dared to say that when he was young, like Li Zhen, he pressed the Constitution with his hands and said this passage, he had not really touched anything?
So at this moment, the wide hall became silent, only people's chests were slightly undulating. The old dean tried hard to straighten his back and try to regain his youthful character. He used his slightly trembling hands to take out a pair of epaulettes from the tray in Dai Bingcheng's hand.
Then he took a step forward silently, raised his head, and matched Li Zhen with it.
So Li Zhen suddenly raised his right arm and greeted the first, the real military salute.
His expression was awesome.
There was a sound of arms raising sound in the hall.
The dean and Dai Bingcheng saluted them solemnly and looked at each other for two seconds. Then the thunderous applause almost overturned the roof - from only a few dozen people, thunderous applause.
It was such a warm and passionate atmosphere that even suppressed the award ceremony that followed.
However, there is no way to do this. The Purple Star Medal can only be awarded to active-duty soldiers. The award must be arranged after the award.
The applause stopped. The royal envoy also walked up to Li Zhen, looked at him with encouragement, and slowly hung the purple star medal in his hand on his chest.
"Young and promising, Lieutenant Lie Zhen." The envoy took a step back and nodded slightly, "Be sure to work hard to serve the empire."
Li Zhen stood up slightly, looked ahead, and replied, "Yes!"
The bronze medal hung on his chest, a little heavy.
So he also felt something heavy in his heart.
Joined the Secret Service Office. Such a huge, silent and cruel institution. Can you keep the things in your heart and keep them? Can you become the kind of person Kitakawa mentioned with your own ideas and conscience?
What is the future goal...?
If family reunion has been achieved, it has been realized. In fact, I was driven by one thing after another and gradually got here. It took only more than a year to go from "Class Li Zhen" to "Lieutenant Li Zhen".
But this year was as long as a lifetime. So many incredible things and so many dangerous accidents finally made me stand here, under my hat brim, and look at everyone.
So he turned his gaze and saw Ying Jueran in the crowd. He smiled slightly and nodded to Li Zhen, with encouragement in his eyes.
Li Zhen calmed down a little, stood on the stage and listened to the speech of the royal envoy in a straight and serious manner, and took the commendation order from him. The envoy looked at him and smiled slightly again: "Your Majesty, I know your name too."
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer so that he would not be rude. Fortunately, the envoy just nodded to him and then stepped aside. After the whole procedure was completed, the envoy and the dean walked off the stage. The soldiers present saluted and applauded them, and bid farewell to the two of them from the side door and left with the entourage. So only he and Dai Bingcheng were left on the stage.
He couldn't help but be stunned and wondered in his heart: Hey? Didn't this happen during the drill?
But Dai Bingcheng had already walked to him and patted his shoulder. The expression on his face became a little more vivid and no longer had expressionless expressions like before.
Li Zhen subconsciously saluted again. Dai Bingcheng smiled and returned the salute, put down his hand and said to Li Zhen: "You can relax a little more. Now--" He glanced at everyone present, "It's all his family members in the bureau."
"Since they are all their own family, I will say a few more words here." His voice was as stable and powerful as usual. "Lieutenant Lie Zhen's experience is quite special. Everyone should have seen it. It can be said that he is a special talent absorbed by our secret service office. It is not easy. In the past few years, we have another A-level."
"But don't be burdened just because Xiao Li is an A-level. I want to say that Lieutenant Lie Zhen's experience is not as rich as you are here. So in the future, we must learn from each other and help each other. We are a whole. If the Special Service Office grows stronger, your back will be stronger."
His eyes swept across the audience with a bright look: "As for the rank award today, I say it openly that many people may feel unhappy. However, I would like to remind you that Lieutenant Lie Zhen's military rank was exchanged for his own efforts and blood. Whoever can achieve such a result in the future, I, Dai Bingcheng, promised that whoever can get another purple star."
"But..." He seemed to feel the atmosphere was too serious, and smiled, "I can't tell if your Majesty can know that person's name."
When Li Zhen looked at the group of future colleagues and comrades below the stage again, he found that the solemn and solemn expression on their faces had indeed weakened a lot. Some people even began to smile and whisper, and then looked at him.
"Okay, that's all I'll talk about." Dai Bingcheng put his hands on the table and said to the microphone, "Next, we should welcome this newcomer."
The people below laughed kindly. Li Zhen also pulled the corners of his mouth, but he didn't know what this future boss planned to do.
Dai Bingcheng waved his hand: "I know there must be many people who are still not convinced. It doesn't matter - as usual, let's have a good competition tonight!"
Competition... Competition? Li Zhen stared at Dai Bingcheng in a daze, and then at the colleagues in the audience. Many people showed "malintention" smiles on their faces and stared at him "attractively".
What to compete? Isn't it necessary to tell me... I have to fight on the first day, right?
Then I heard Dai Bingcheng's next sentence: "Now disband. Half an hour later, the West Canteen will gather!"
Everyone in the audience cheered unevenly, and someone whispered loudly: "Lieutenant Lie, see you all... Hahaha!"
"Old Gao, I tell you, people should not behave like a person, be careful..."
"...The one who was the newcomer king last year, and this year's one is not sure!"
Chapter completed!
