Chapter 321 Let Zhao Weihong's name resound throughout this land! [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]
"Humph, I told you so!"
"This award ceremony must wait until Wei Hong comes back!"
"Look, Wei Hong just came back, and the notice for the award ceremony came right after that, right?"
Inside the duty room of each company of the 347th Regiment.
At this moment, there is a heated discussion surrounding the document that has just been issued!
[Notice on holding the summary meeting and commendation ceremony of the 2004 "Strong Army Cup" Military Literacy Comprehensive Ability Competition of Liaodong Military Region]
You can tell by looking at the title of this file.
The undisputed "protagonist" of this meeting is Zhao Weihong, who had just returned to the army and won two first places in the military district competition!
"Otherwise, how can you say he is your living father?"
"Not only did he win two first places, but I heard that his father was sent to the military hospital right after the competition. He even went home to visit his family two days ago!"
"It's really rare for conscripts to go home to visit their families!"
Hearing the old soldier's slightly sour sigh, another sergeant who looked like his squad leader immediately retorted in a bad mood.
"What? Are you jealous?"
"Whether it's a vacation or a first-class merit, these are things that people would gladly risk their lives for!"
"Didn't I hear that Wei Hong didn't even come down from the arena after the competition and went straight to the hospital?"
"If you can be as good as Wei Hong, I won't even take my home leave this year. I'll give it all to you!"
"Forget it, squad leader. How dare I compete with my living father?"
"Now that you know, why are you still talking so much nonsense?"
"I think you just need some practice!"
"Reload and prepare for the five-kilometer journey. Let's get going!"
"."
Zhao Weihong, who had just hung up the phone, also received a notification from Chang Dingfang at this time.
Ask him to pack his luggage and prepare to go to the military district headquarters to attend the award ceremony!
Since returning to the 347th Regiment, Zhao Weihong has spent most of his time holding the microphone these days except for eating and sleeping, and has no time for duty or training.
There's no way, there are too many veterans who care about him.
Zhao Weihong called back one by one, and even if she only said a few words, it would take quite a long time.
Not to mention that many veterans can't stop talking to Zhao Weihong, either "recalling the glorious past" or "looking forward to the bright future."
Zhao Weihong's throat was about to smoke. There were still dozens of veterans who had not returned the call. It seemed that she could only wait until she returned from the military district headquarters before she could continue.
"Wei Hong."
"Remember to wear all your medals."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Zhao Weihong might misunderstand him, Chang Dingfang emphasized one more sentence.
"It's worn on the chest! Get it right before you leave tomorrow, and don't take it off."
"Let them all take a good look at what the living father of the 347th Regiment means, what the living father they can only look up to means!"
Chang Dingfang's proposal seemed a bit ostentatious, which was inconsistent with Zhao Weihong's usually low-key personality.
But then he thought about the two medals that had been sealed for a long time, and then he thought about the first-class medal of merit that he was about to receive.
A desire of "can't wait" suddenly ignited in Zhao Weihong's heart, making him nod expectantly at Chang Dingfang.
"Yes!"
"Click."
Accompanied by the sound of the mahogany box being gently opened.
Zhao Weihong, wearing a soldier's uniform, carefully put on a second-class medal and a third-class medal in front of the mirror. The two medals, one on the left and one on the right, were on Zhao Weihong's left chest, and they were indistinguishable!
However, these two medals of great importance will soon become the "foil" of other medals.
Because Zhao Weihong is about to receive the third and most important medal in his military career!
First Class Medal of Merit!
And strictly speaking, Zhao Weihong's first-class merit can be regarded as a "first-class merit in wartime!"
The word "wartime" in "wartime honor" often causes people to misunderstand that this honor can only be obtained in war situations.
But in fact, the standard for distinguishing "wartime honor" and "peacetime honor" is very simple.
For example, in the year-end summary, every company-level unit can have the "third-class merit quota", which is a "normal honor". It is not a commendation for a certain thing done by the person concerned, but an affirmation of his contribution to his military career.
Commendations received for specific achievements through competitions, contests, or even while carrying out missions can basically be classified as "wartime honors," with only a few rare exceptions.
In comparison, "wartime honor" is undoubtedly more important.
Some stricter units even require two third-class merits, and those who want to be promoted must have a "third-class wartime merit!"
Zhao Weihong has now received medals, and every one of them is classified as "wartime honors", with great value!
He took a closer look in the mirror.
Zhao Weihong nodded with satisfaction.
This was probably the last time that he would attend an award ceremony wearing a soldier's uniform and medals, where he would need to go on stage to receive an award.
Because soon, Zhao Weihong will receive his officer's uniform, which is more handsome in style and made of more exquisite materials!
"Wei Hong, it's time to go!"
"Yes!"
"Class monitor, I'm sorry to bother you with the class matters."
After saying that, Zhao Weihong hurriedly rushed out of the dormitory, leaving Yan Jiming, Qi Yu, and a group of new recruits who had just joined the guard company this year alone. They looked at his receding back and remained silent for a long time.
At this moment, Yan Jiming was particularly proud that he could become the squad leader after Zhao Weihong was transferred to the company.
Unknowingly, this once green and ignorant recruit has become a soldier that Yan Jiming looks up to!
But no matter what, even if Zhao Weihong will hang the wheat ears that every soldier yearns for in the future.
When he saw Yan Jiming, he still called him "sergeant"!
This is enough.
"Chief!"
Military district office, at the main gate.
A group of leaders gathered here and respectfully welcomed Deputy Leader Wei who had just arrived.
In previous years, Deputy Commander Wei could come to Liaodong Military Region two or three times a year, and that was considered the best!
Many times, you may not even come here once in a whole year!
How long has it been now?
Deputy Commander Wei has already gone to the Liaodong military area three times, and even went to Zhaojia Village, thousands of miles away!
Everyone present knew the reason why Deputy Chief Wei was so busy.
Faced with a large number of cadres who came to greet him with great enthusiasm, Deputy Chief Wei simply nodded and looked behind him silently, as if he was waiting for something.
Seeing this, although the leaders were confused, they did not dare to ask more questions and could only wait silently with Deputy Leader Wei.
Soon, a long convoy drove into the gate of the military district headquarters, and a large number of people carrying "long guns and short cannons" walked out of it. They looked like reporters, and there were even some "household names" among them.
It was obvious that these reporters were called by Deputy Chief Wei.
In principle, a military contest and commendation ceremony would not require such a large-scale mobilization of troops.
Deputy Chief Wei was asked to attend in person and so many reporters were called over.
If this was an army-wide competition, no one would be surprised if Deputy Commander Wei acted in this way.
But now.
Facing a crowd of confused, puzzled, or shocked looks.
Deputy Chief Wei did not speak, but walked silently towards the military district headquarters.
That's right.
Deputy Chief Wei, we want the name Zhao Weihong to resound throughout this land from today onwards!
