Promotion to a rank is one of the important moments in a military career, especially when passing through major stages of military ranks.
A soldier is promoted to a lieutenant, a lieutenant is promoted to a school officer, and a school officer is promoted to a general officer. There are three major stages in the military rank system, which are extremely difficult. Among them, the promotion from a school officer to a general is the most difficult.
This promotion ceremony means that Zhou Hai will lose his status as a lieutenant officer, cross the major stage of promotion from lieutenant to colonel, and enter the rank of a new mid-level officer in the rank of colonel.
In the central area of the conference room, the person stood upright on the red carpet and turned to face the eight red flags hanging quietly.
Appearance, solemn and solemn.
Military posture, as straight as a benchmark.
Military cap, the August 1st logo is dazzling.
Although the promotion ceremony and commendation ceremony are simple, they are extraordinary and special.
"Comrade Zhou Hai, today, I will preside over the promotion ceremony and commendation meeting."
Standing on the stage, Lin Jian looked calm and stared at Zhou Hai with his head held high, his eyes full of satisfaction. He took a deep breath and said in a serious voice as usual: "Play the military song!"
Military song!
The most basic and important part of the promotion ceremony.
Suddenly, the most familiar melody of the march of the Chinese People's Army came out from the sound element equipment installed in the conference room, resounding in the narrow and solemn conference room.
Hearing the melody of the military song, Zhou Hai looked straight and showed no disrespect.
The same goes for Lin Jian on the stage, with a standard military posture, chest raised and head raised.
Because this is a melody that embodies the blood and unyielding will of countless martyrs, a melody that records the history of blood and tears!
Sacred and solemn, it cannot be desecrated or violated.
From the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War 83 years ago, to the country and the nation going through hardships to this day, this melody carries the military soul, a military soul unique to China.
And this melody will continue to spread until eternity!
After the Chinese People's March was played, the small conference room became quiet.
"From January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, Comrade Zhou Hai was honored with first-class individual merit three times and second-class individual merit three times. During his service, Comrade Zhou Hai performed outstandingly and made outstanding achievements. He has made many contributions to the army and the country. He has made significant contributions for the first time and is loyal to the motherland and the people. In accordance with the "Disciplinary Regulations" and the "exceptional promotion" document issued by the Pengcheng Base Party Committee, Comrade Zhou Hai is officially awarded the rank of major and promoted to a full battalion flying officer. All medals for meritorious service on record will be issued.”
After the melody ended, Lin Jian stared at Zhou Hai, opened the blue folder, turned to the second page, and took out a brand new official top-secret document with a bright red mark of "Planning Committee No. 88" printed on the lower right corner. Read the contents of the document aloud.
The loud and powerful words spread around and poured into Zhou Hai's ears.
All rewards are redeemed!
"Thank you to the organization and thank your superiors!"
Zhou Hai's face was calm, his body was like a cloud of pine, his brows were like swords, and he had a commanding aura, and he answered loudly.
No timidity, no fear, just calmness and indifference.
Because everything is familiar.
Now, unknown to anyone, he has an honorable moment in his service life, a moment that belongs only to him.
Wei was promoted to school and passed the second threshold!
The 20-year-old major is in camp!
After Lin Jian finished reading the content, he put down the folder, turned around and walked to the side of the podium, picked up a metal vessel covered with bright red cloth, and in a quiet and silent atmosphere, with a calm and ceremonial step that blended in with instinct, he walked straight towards Zhou Hai Come and stand in front of me.
"Zhou Hai, this is your military rank and honor, hold it." Lin Jian stared at the extremely young Zhou Hai, with a sacred and solemn face, and handed the vessel on the red cloth and metal plate to Zhou Hai.
Zhou Hai nodded without hesitation, raised his hands, and took the metal plate full of red dinner plates from Lin Jian.
red!
Red is solemn, red is dazzling!
This is the first time he has performed a promotion ceremony of this kind and process, and it feels quite fresh to speak from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Jian didn't waste any time and lifted up the red cloth with his hand, revealing the true face underneath.
Inside the metal plate, there are two brand-new dark blue major rank insignias, inlaid with two golden thin bars and a star emblem. Level qualification seal.
On the right side, six exquisite medal boxes come into view.
The most impactful picture is the three individual second-class merit medals with a diameter of 55 mm and a dazzling appearance of pure silver. There are also three first-class merit medals with a diameter of 60 mm that have a pure gold appearance. The golden light is everywhere. Glittering, the central pattern consists of the August 1st military emblem and delicate osmanthus leaves, while the outer patterns are red stars and pointed peony petals.
Looking at this scene, even Zhou Hai couldn't help but feel a little palpitated.
The six medals for meritorious service are like crystal clear gems, shining brightly and dazzlingly.
This is the honor that countless soldiers yearn for. With just one of them, the entire military career will be complete.
Here, six in total.
Behind the merit medals that look like cabbage, there are dangers and encounters that ordinary people can't imagine.
Lin Jian stood in front of Zhou Hai, folded the red cloth, placed it in a metal plate, came behind him, took off the captain's rank on his shoulders and the deputy battalion qualification badge on his chest with both hands, and then replaced it with the brand-new major's rank with his own hands and official career qualification seal.
Wearing the military rank and seniority badge, from this moment on, Zhou Hai became a major in the true sense.
At this time, the brilliance is dazzling!
At this moment, honor comes!
"The new military rank is not only recognition of you by the troops and superiors, but also a trust. It is a new starting point. Keep working hard and work hard." Lin Jian smiled at Zhou Hai and added the old rank of captain and deputy battalion. The professional qualifications seal is placed back on the plate and a blessing is given.
"I certainly will."
Feeling the new military rank on his shoulders, Zhou Hai took a deep breath and nodded seriously.
"I won't give you six medals for meritorious service. Even I feel psychedelic just looking at them. You know the rules about wearing medals. Don't go out and show off." Lin Jian patted Zhou Hai's shoulder and pointed at the metal He smiled at the six military medals on the plate.
Zhou Hai was stunned for a moment, a little speechless: "Uh... no."
He has never behaved like he usually wears military medals to show off. There is nothing he can do about it. This kind of behavior is too boring and appears to be undisciplined.
There are also strict disciplinary requirements for wearing meritorious service medals. Generally speaking, only short medals are worn at ordinary times. Medals are only allowed to be worn on important days such as major festivals or participation in military activities.
Okay, that's not important.
The important thing is, what about the surprise mentioned before?
Zhou Hai held the metal plate and looked at Lin Jian, but hesitated to speak.
"Well, there is another surprise that you are looking forward to. In view of Argentina's outstanding performance in this coaching mission, flying a Qingjiao fighter jet to shoot down two Typhoons has attracted the attention of Argentina's second phase arms purchase plan and many international customers. In Canada, You have served in the military for one year. Considering your personal emotional and psychological problems, your planned training mission to the Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base has been postponed and a 20-day foreign holiday has been specially granted to allow you to relax."
When Lin Jian saw Zhou Hai's appearance, he shook his head and said seriously without giving in, revealing the entire surprise.
"20 days of foreign holidays?!"
When Zhou Hai heard what Lin Jian announced, his whole body trembled, his eyes lit up, and the thoughts he had previously conceived in his heart were already occupied by this surprise content.
surprise!
This is indeed a big surprise.
A full 20 days of external leave can be taken away from the military station, and can be taken anywhere in the country except for outbound travel, instead of the previous internal leave!
Zhou Hai originally thought that Lin Jian would only take two or three days, or a week's holiday, to go to Star City and see Zuo Xue.
As a result, the extremely generous Colonel Lin went on a 20-day foreign leave!
"I have already written the leave application form for you and approved it. This is the outing approval form."
Lin Jian looked at Zhou Hai who was full of surprise, shook his head, with a smile on his face, turned around and picked up the blue folder from the podium, took out Zhou Hai's outing approval form, and reminded: "I believe in your heart I am also a little tired. The army pays attention to the balance of work and rest, especially the pilot team. Relax when you need to, but you must pay attention to safety when you are on vacation. Your safety is above all else. You must bring a gun and Beidou locator. In addition, it is prohibited to go to similar construction sites We are in a high-risk area, except for acquaintances, strictly disclose any information about your true identity, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Zhou Hai, whose heart was full of joy, saw this and quickly took the metal plate with his left hand, freed his right hand and took the white approval form.
"Also, let me ask you a question, are you going to find your girlfriend Zuo Xue this time?" Lin Jian stared at Zhou Hai and said seriously.
Seeing Lin Jian's expression, Zhou Hai held his head high, nodded and replied: "Yes, we haven't seen each other for almost a year and a half. If it weren't for my good memory, I almost forgot her appearance. I want to see her."
Meeting Zuo Xue, who had been separated for a year and a half, was Zhou Hai's first emotional thought.
"Very honest, but don't you consider whether the girl has time?" Lin Jian nodded with satisfaction and said.
Zhou Hai was stunned: "Uh..."
"I already know Zuo Xue. She is a genius at the Star City University of Defense Technology. Since you performed particularly well this time and you are sure you want to see it, I can contact the University of Defense Technology for you and give Zuo Xue a special holiday. ." Lin Jian smiled and said: "The specific number of days for approval is up to you."
"Can we also give Zuo Xue a special foreign holiday?!" Zhou Hai's eyes widened and he was stunned. He felt like he was hit in the head by a huge pancake, and he was a little dizzy.
The Air Force crosses the Army establishment and gives Zuo Xue a special foreign holiday?
There is actually such an operation!
Lin Jian smiled and said, "Why, no?"
"No, no, no, yes, I definitely want it, then, 20 days?" Zhou Hai shook his head repeatedly, thought about it in his mind, and carefully put forward the idea that he had in mind.
"Are you sure 20 days? She is in the Army establishment. According to the leave regulations for officers, she can take up to 20 days of external leave every year." Lin Jian said.
Zhou Hai nodded and affirmed: "OK."
