"Comrade Zhou Hai successfully completed the task of protecting secrets with perfect performance, avoided the sacrifice of China's strategic-level scientists and entourage, and saved the interests of the army and the state, and in accordance with the discipline regulations of the Chinese People's Army, supplemented by Articles 2, 4, and 10, with Article 15 as the core, he kept and protected secrets, resolutely struggled against the enemy's secret theft and infiltration activities, and made major contributions during the mission, and was given a first-class meritorious service."

First-class merit!

Brilliant and shining first-class merit!

The supreme existence in the field of meritorious service medals, the highest honor!

"It's actually a first-class merit?" Zhou Hai was stunned for a moment, his heart was full of surprise, he didn't expect that he could get a first-class merit award.

Looking at Zhou Hai's appearance, Yang Tianming held the confidential official document in his hand, and showed a faint smile: "What, it's unexpected?" ”

"Sort of, isn't that a little too high?"

Zhou Hai nodded seriously, without hiding the thoughts in his heart, and said with a straight face.

Regarding the reward for performing the mission last night, Zhou Hai briefly thought about it, and it is estimated that it will be a second-class merit at most, and this first-class merit is really a bit unexpected.

Yang Tianming slowly exhaled a breath, his voice was calm and powerful: "Last night's task seemed simple, but in fact it was very important, because it involved secrecy, I won't say much, you just need to know that this first-class merit is well deserved." ”

At the time of crisis, he stepped forward, turned the tide, saved people from fire and water, and saved Tang Qingyuan, a strategic-level scientist in the field of hypersonic weapons, with a perfect performance, and there was no accidental injury.

All this, the honor of receiving a personal first-class meritorious service award is well deserved.

What is a Strategic Scientist?

Money has a price, people are priceless!

For any country, this kind of scientist who is linked to the future development cannot be measured in monetary terms.

If it weren't for Zhou Hai passing by, if it weren't for Zhou Hai's unimaginably superb technology, and if he used aerial guns to accurately kill the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Thank you to the organization, thank you to the superiors!"

When Zhou Hai heard this, he didn't think much about it, took a deep breath, looked solemn, raised his hand to salute, and responded loudly.

"Also, this time, due to secrecy and special needs, the higher authorities have decided not to notify the whole army for praise, not to convene a commendation meeting, and not to publicize the news to the outside world, I hope you don't mind." Yang Tianming stared at Zhou Hai and said bluntly.

Secrecy!

This time, the honor of personal first-class merit can only exist in the top-secret archives, and there is only a brilliant military merit medal that symbolizes the highest honor.

Everything, without words.

Except for those who are qualified and powerful, no one will know why Zhou Hai won this personal first-class merit, including his comrades who are also in the base.

"Everything is subject to the organization! Personally, I'm not particularly fond of commendation rallies and publicity. Zhou Hai's eyes were blazing, like a scorching sun, he raised his head slightly, didn't care about this insignificant personal interest, and responded loudly: "Of course, I won't refuse." ”

All-army praise?

Commendation meeting?

External news and publicity?

Eliminating these formalistic cumbersomeness is just sacrificing a little bit of personal interest, and there is nothing.

I have experienced too much and have long been familiar with it.

"Yes, there is another good news for you, regarding the issuance and implementation of the first-class meritorious service award, which will take effect at the end of the year."

Yang Tianming's serious and tense face gradually relaxed, revealing a smile, and took out a blue folder from the drawer again, with the words "Level 3 Top Secret" printed in the upper right corner, opened it with his right hand, and took out another confidential official document printed with red words again, and read out:

"After the study and decision of the higher-level organization, the head of the Air Force, and the Party Committee of the Pengcheng Base, in view of the fact that Comrade Zhou Hai, a third-class pilot of the Air Force, was honored with three first-class merits, four second-class merits, three third-class merits, and one collective first-class merit during his service, and made a series of major contributions to the cause of national defense, he was given an exceptional promotion, and was allowed to be promoted to the rank of major on January 1, 2020, and enjoyed the treatment of a full-time flight officer."

The voice, sonorous and powerful, full of momentum, resounded in the not large war room.

When Zhou Hai heard the content of the document read out by Yang Tianming, he was shocked as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned in place, a little incredulous.

If this first-class merit is an unexpected joy, then the document that is exceptionally carried is a real surprise.

Major rank!

Positive treatment!

This configuration seems to be nothing, and it is not surprising, the officers of the navy, land and air force majors who are equipped with the right battalion treatment are grabbed a lot, but if you add Zhou Hai's age, it will be like sodium and water coming into contact with each other, resulting in a violent chemical reaction!

The 20-year-old major is in the battalion, a third-class pilot in the Air Force!

This has been able to set off a monstrous wave.

If it gets out, well, the first reaction of people who get the news is basically - who are you fooling?

"Zhou Hai, due to the huge contribution of this mission, the superiors decided to make an exception and waive the three-year limit, which is a trust in you, and I hope you will not live up to this trust."

After Yang Tianming finished reading out the second confidential document, he put it on the table, stared at Zhou Hai, who had already recovered his composure and remained calm, and said: "At the same time, if you want to be promoted to lieutenant colonel next time, unless you make a major contribution again, you can only be promoted every four years for a colonel-level officer in accordance with the regulations on military ranks." ”

"Thank you to the organization, thank you to the superiors!"

Zhou Hai took a deep breath, his eyes were clear and bright, and while his mind remained calm, he cleared his distracting thoughts and said his second thank-you speech again.

At this time, there is only gratitude, and it is useless to say more.

At the end of the year, he was promoted to major and enjoyed the treatment of the regular camp!

Upgrading the military rank means trust, but also a responsibility.

"The content of today's conversation strictly abides by the confidentiality regulations, and it is classified as top secret." Yang Tianming smiled, waved his hand, and made arrangements: "Okay, go back, go to the air service stove to eat, pay attention to rest, tonight's training plan remains unchanged, and in the next week, air refueling training will still be carried out, remember to close the door." ”

"Yes, then I'm leaving, Colonel Yang."

Zhou Hai nodded knowingly, raised his hand to salute, picked up the tactical tablet and backpack, and left the war room, preparing to return to the dormitory first to change equipment, and then go to the air crew stove for dinner.

"Bang!"

The door closed softly, and there was a faint noise.

Inside the war room, return to tranquility.

"The battalion of the youngest major with the highest gold content in the whole army, and Lao Lin is favored again, I don't know how far you can go, according to the slowest rate of one rise in four years, twenty-eight years old is a colonel, thirty-two years old colonel, if there is no problem, it is only a matter of time to cross the general's rank fence."

After a while, Yang Tianming's voice full of sighs came out.
