Everyone in the audience was silent and looked quietly at Xia Li and Captain Bai standing there on the stage, wanting to see what was going on.
Lu Dingyuan strode onto the stage, took the tray from Captain Bai's hand, and stood quietly beside him.
Captain Bai opened the red velvet covering the tray, revealing several badges underneath.
He held his head high, looked at the people, and said with a sonorous voice: "Today, as people of all ethnic groups in the country jointly develop China and establish correct ideas, we hold a grand ceremony here to present the country's highest honor. Awarded to the outstanding comrade who has made outstanding contributions to national security and development: Comrade Xia Li!
First of all, on behalf of the Party Central Committee, the National People's Congress, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, I would like to pay tribute to Comrade Xia Li, who has received one collective first-class merit, one individual first-class merit, one individual second-class merit, and two collective third-class merit today. Warm congratulations! High respect!
today……"
Captain Bai spoke his lines on the stage in a high and steady tone, and the team members in the audience were all shocked.
They originally thought that ordinary people would be in the top position if they got advanced, but they didn't expect that someone could get so many meritorious deeds all at once!
How many good things have been done? ! To have so many awards!
However, considering that Comrade Xia Li helped catch human traffickers and caught spies before, he felt that this matter was impossible for anyone, but it was excusable for Xiao Xia, an educated youth.
They are really awesome!
Not only were the members of the South Island First Team shocked, but even Xia Li was a little amazed.
She had asked before because she was not from the army and could only get a medal for first-class collective merit after completing this mission.
But she never expected that she would get so many medals all of a sudden.
She had done so many things by mistake before, and all the rewards were in vain. Now they were all taken out. If no one was behind it, she wouldn't believe it at all.
Looking at the expressionless man next to him, who was holding a tray with medals and exuding a serious aura, Xia Li already had the answer in his heart.
The dog man is quiet and really does a lot of things.
After Commander Bai delivered his speech, he personally brought the medal to Xia Li and gave Xia Li a military salute.
"Comrade Xia Li, on behalf of the party and the people, I thank you for your efforts."
After finishing speaking, he turned to face the members of the South Island First Brigade and raised his voice: "Now, please warmly applaud and welcome Comrade Xia Li to say a few words for us!"
"Snap, snap, snap!"
The people in the first brigade of South Island in the audience were in high spirits, applauding vigorously, and they all looked proud.
Someone shouted excitedly: "Teacher Xiaoxia, come up and say a few words!"
"Yes! Tell me a few words! Let us also hear about your experience!"
"Teacher Xiaoxia saw it, come up and say a few words!!"
…
Xia Li stood upright on the podium amidst the cheers, with a group of people kneeling on the ground behind him.
Behind it is a circle of red soldiers.
Behind them are the four vehicles that brought her back. They rushed to the First Battalion of the South Island as soon as they got off the plane. They didn't even have time to change their clothes, and they were loaded with guns and ammunition from the People's Liberation Army.
Her voice was cadenced, and every word was sonorous.
"My father is a soldier. Since I was a child, my father has taught me to be patriotic, to contribute all my knowledge and strength to the country, and to shine among the people.
I have always paid tribute in this way and regard it as a model.
In the past few months, we have rescued women and children who were abducted by human traffickers, and eliminated spies within the organization many times. This time, we went on an expedition with the army and risked our lives to rescue twelve scientific talents who had returned home.
Since I came to the first team of South Island, I have been thinking about letting the team members live a better life. I want every team member to have enough food and clothing, promote the construction of the motherland, and make the motherland prosperous.
I, Xia Li, feel that I have a clear conscience! ! "
