The weather is sunny today and the sky is cloudy. Banners welcoming the homecoming of southern counterinsurgents lined the bustling streets.

The floating lights made Pei Ling's eyes blink, and the entire welcome venue looked like a nightclub. Next to it is the Champagne Mountain with all kinds of exaggerated props.

This also corresponds to the exaggerated style of Star.

Pei Ling walked around the place in a low-key black military uniform. Pei Ling was chosen as a benchmark for the army. These titles made Pei Ling uncomfortable for a while.

The spotlight at the door was crowded with reporters, and Pei Ling sat in a fixed position.

She has already stolen the limelight, and if she does so again, she will be shot.

Unlike Pei Ling's low-key behavior, everyone else brought their own flashlights when they appeared.

They accepted the reporter's interview with their heads held high, like victorious roosters.

The investiture ceremony was held at 9:00. Surrounded by the crowd, today’s key figures finally arrived!

Royston appeared in the public eye with his standard 45-degree smile. He still looked as graceful as ever, and he answered reporters' questions in stride.

Because Royston was delayed a bit, the entire commendation meeting only started at 9:10.

Of course, the host started with a few polite words, followed by Royston's speech. Pei Ling almost fell asleep listening to the speeches of the leaders of all parties.

Finally, there is the awarding of military ranks and commendations.

Huaizhou, the marshal of the southern counter-rebels, was of course also involved today.

He was sitting in the front row waiting for the first person to confer a title on him. The crowd was speculating about what arrangements Royston would have for Huaizhou this time since his contribution was so great.

When Royston brought the rank of marshal to Huaizhou, everyone in the crowd raised eyebrows. Except when he enjoyed the rank of marshal when he founded the country, when there was a marshal, he was generally awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Marshal is a general term for someone who leads an army.

This..., what does this mean? There was a quiet discussion.

"In view of Marshal Huai's outstanding performance in this battle, the First Federal Government decided that Huaizhou should be reinstated as Secretary-General."

As soon as these words came out, the discussion among the people who were still whispering was aggravated. After such a big detour, he was reinstated.

Isn't that a bit too hasty?

Pei Ling blinked and looked at Royston who was serious on the stage. Old fox, you are indeed an old fox! He has been plotting against others, and this president has finally figured it out!

This was followed by praise for some senior military officers who should be promoted and made rich.

There are many Seth families and Lin families here, just take Lin Zhou as an example. Less than a month after he took office with Huaizhou, he was promoted to lieutenant general. You can imagine how deep the water inside is.

Pei Ling thought her outstanding soldiers were just here for a formality, so she simply closed her eyes and began to concentrate.

"Next, the president and secretary-general will present awards to the best soldiers."

"Those whose names I have read are invited to come on stage to receive their awards: Drury Shangde, Han Zijun, and Pei Ling."

Everyone turned their attention to these three people. Both boys had a solemn aura, but Pei Ling closed his eyes.

Um? To actually fall asleep at such a critical moment is so disdainful of this commendation conference.

Drury, who was on stage to receive the award, pushed Pei Ling, who was already asleep.

Pei Ling stumbled and almost lost her seat. She indulged herself last night and played games all night long.

She was dissatisfied with who pushed her and was about to stand up to get angry.

The host's voice came from the stage, "Please invite Drewry and Pei Ling to come to the stage to receive the award."

Pei Ling's hand, which was hanging in mid-air as he was about to joke with Drury, completely froze. Pei Ling, who had been the backdrop all morning, immediately retracted his hand with a bit of embarrassment on his expression.

He trotted up quickly.

"Please, Your Excellency the President, award medals to outstanding soldiers. The Secretary-General awards military ranks to outstanding soldiers."

Pei Ling smiled unnaturally in front of the audience and the spotlight.

One by one, Royston presented medals to them first, and Pei Ling stood first on the left.

Keep smiling, the big trees and the ocean form a blue and green medal.

After shaking hands and thanking him, Huaizhou came next, looking at Pei Ling with a peaceful smile.

Completely looking like an elder, Pei Ling still smirked. In his peripheral vision, Pei Ling realized that his military rank was actually colonel.

In shock, her peripheral vision drifted to the ranks of other people.

Drewry is a lieutenant colonel and Han Zijun is a major.

Wait, wait, how could it be so fast? Pei Ling, who felt that it was a big hole, suddenly felt like he was the one who stood out.

Sure enough, the host started to introduce the achievements of the three of them.

Pei Ling didn't know if Drewry's and Han Zijun's experiences were true.

But her own experience did make her sweat a little bit. She sacrificed her life to obtain information at a critical moment. What a heroic rescue of teammates regardless of life and death.

What's more important is that there is also a piece of evaluation of them by people around them. Pei Ling saw that his boss, an old-fashioned boss, actually praised her in the video, saying that she often forgets to eat and sleep and works until late at night. When she goes to work, her main job is to fish, and she pretends to be busy every time.

Oh my God! Pei Ling seems to have been captured alive. Everyone will think that I am a related party!

When Pei Ling received the award, many reporters swarmed up and surrounded her.

Pei Ling couldn't escape even if he wanted to, so he could only answer the reporters' questions.

"Let's move on to the last item. Today we invite a special guest. He is also the hero of our battle."

After several salutes, Yuan Lixin walked up from the backstage wearing the same black military uniform as Pei Ling.

Everyone looks at me and you feel very strange, why is he here. This is a celebration meeting for the southern counter-rebels.

How could an outsider, a prisoner, appear here?

There was contempt in everyone's eyes, and they always felt that he shouldn't be here.

Royston took Yuan Lixin's hand affectionately and said: "Lixin understands the righteousness well and takes the lead against his father. He is definitely a good general. Today, under the witness of all of you, I will award him the honor of the First Commonwealth." .”

He raised the rank of major general and put it on Yuan Lixin's head. The host was also a good person and was the first to applaud.

Then there was a burst of applause from the audience.

Everyone had different expressions, and they must be very satisfied with Royston's operation.

It’s really heartbreaking! Pei Ling could sense the difficulty of Yuan Lixin's situation at this time. What was the difference between this and recognizing a thief as his father.

Pei Ling didn't know what Royston's purpose was, but this move was like putting Yuan Lixin on the fire.

Yuan Lixin stood dullly on the stage, while Pei Ling looked at her from afar below the stage.

The two looked at each other in the air for a few seconds, and Pei Ling quickly lowered his head. There was some sadness in his eyes.
