As time went by, more and more people came to the ceremony, and everyone was chatting in small groups.
Li Qiufan has been following the commander-in-chief, listening to his conversations with other old leaders.
Because except for a few old leaders, he had no acquaintance with the generals in the Beijing Military Region, so he had no choice but to follow the commander-in-chief.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the old brigade commander to arrive here, and at a glance he saw Li Qiufan following the commander-in-chief.
"You heartless brat, you didn't even know how to look at me when you came back from the peninsula!"
After arriving at Li Qiufan's side, the old brigade commander first said hello to several old leaders, and then started to curse at Li Qiufan.
"Old brigade commander, how did I know you were going to Harbin? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have paid a visit to you!"
Li Qiufan couldn't laugh or cry after hearing what the old brigade commander said. He had really forgotten about this incident at that time, otherwise he would definitely go to Harbin first.
"Hmph, you can't just let this matter go by. You have to treat me to dinner!"
The old brigade commander didn't listen to Li Qiufan's explanation at all and told him that he owed a meal.
"Just a meal..."
"What kind of food is that? He has been staying at my house these days. Do you want him to invite you to my house for dinner?"
When Li Qiufan heard that the old brigade commander asked him to treat him to dinner, Li Qiufan was ready to agree without saying a word.
But after hearing this, the commander-in-chief directly interrupted Li Qiufan, and then said angrily to the old brigade commander.
"Commander-in-Chief, you are not as protective as you. This kid didn't even know to visit me when he came back from the peninsula!"
Seeing the commander-in-chief talking to Li Qiufan, the old brigade commander immediately felt aggrieved and opened his mouth to complain.
"He didn't come to see me either, it's even!"
The commander-in-chief was immediately happy when he saw the old brigade commander's appearance, but he still helped Li Qiufan to speak.
"Ahem, Commander-in-Chief, it's almost done."
Li Qiufan was also a little embarrassed. The commander-in-chief's wave of hatred had caused him a lot of trouble. When the old brigade commander took care of himself, he had no place to cry.
"Not bad, four stars, equal to me!"
After the joke, the old brigade commander looked at the four stars on Li Qiufan's shoulder patch, and then said to him with a smile.
"Old brigade commander, aren't you giving me chills? One day you will also be my old leader!"
Li Qiufan also felt a little sad. He did not expect that one day he would be able to stand at the same height as the old brigade commander.
"Hahaha, your words are enough!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, the old brigade commander burst out laughing.
For Li Qiufan to have such an achievement, the old brigade commander was as happy as the commander-in-chief from the bottom of his heart.
"It's a pity that Mr. Teacher can't come!"
As he said this, the old brigade commander suddenly thought of his teacher, and then he became emotional.
"Yes, I will go to Nanjing to see his old man when I have time."
Li Qiufan also nodded. He knew about the teacher's situation. Due to physical reasons, he was unable to be present today.
Moreover, in addition to the teacher and the head teacher, there were two other marshals who were not present.
After the two chatted for a while, the man also arrived at the ceremony, and then everyone stopped talking.
After saying hello to everyone, the man walked towards where Li Qiufan was.
As that person moved, everyone's eyes also followed him, and then they stopped at Li Qiufan.
"Yes, Not Bad!"
The man walked up to Li Qiufan and stood still, then looked him up and down and said.
"lead!"
"lead!"
Seeing the man coming in front of him, Li Qiufan quickly straightened his waist and saluted with a military salute.
The old brigade commander next to Li Qiufan did the same and saluted him with a military salute.
"Haha, you girl looks quite energetic in this outfit. Just be the first one later and show off to your comrades!"
The man smiled and nodded towards the two of them, then pointed at Li Qiufan and said something that made the whole place fall silent instantly.
“Leader, this………….”
Li Qiufan was shocked. He originally thought that the person was coming to take a look, but he didn't expect that he would say such a thing.
Being first means something that Li Qiufan knows, and not only does he know it, but everyone else also knows it.
Li Qiufan was so shocked that he really didn't know what to say. After calling out the leader, he couldn't organize any more words.
The expression of the old brigade commander standing next to Li Qiufan also changed. He did not expect that that man would think so highly of Li Qiufan.
As for the commander-in-chief and other old leaders, there was no reaction and they were still smiling and chatting.
"What? Are you shy, baby?"
That person saw what Li Qiufan was thinking, but he didn't mention it at all, but started teasing him.
"It's not that I'm shy, I..."
"Then it's settled, you can be the first one standing there later!"
After hearing that person's teasing, Li Qiufan wanted to explain.
But before he could finish speaking, the man interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then turned around and walked towards the Commander-in-Chief.
"Qiu Fan, you are a very good boy!"
After the man left, the old brigade commander reached out and patted Li Qiufan's arm and said with a smile.
"Old brigadier, I don't know what's going on!"
After hearing what the old brigade commander said, Li Qiufan said to him with a wry smile.
"You don't need to know, it's fine if others do!"
The old brigade commander shook his head at Li Qiufan. The purpose of this matter was not to let Li Qiufan know, but to let others know.
After hearing what the old brigade commander said, Li Qiufan didn't say anything more, but he felt a little complicated.
Soon the grand conferment ceremony officially began. Li Qiufan stood upright in the first place, waiting for the issuance of the certificate of appointment.
It was not that person who issued him the certificate of appointment to the military rank, but another amiable old man.
"You must be Li Qiufan, I've wanted to see you for a long time!"
"In the War of Resistance Against Japan, we resisted foreign invaders, in the War of Liberation, we conquered the northwest and liberated the southwest, and in the Peninsular War, we defeated the beautiful country. We can say that he is an unparalleled general in our army!"
The old man handed the appointment certificate into Li Qiufan's hand, then held his hand tightly and praised with a smile.
"General Manager, you have given me too much praise. The soldiers paid for it with their blood and lives. I cannot afford such a title!"
Li Qiufan didn't expect that the old man would give him such a high evaluation, and then he immediately shook his head and responded.
"Haha, good boy!"
After seeing Li Qiufan's reaction, the old man smiled and patted his arm without saying anything else.
Seeing this, Li Qiufan could only straighten his waist and salute the old man with a military salute.
