Chapter 265 A stirring chorus commends Lu Chiyu and his daughter for winning special merit!
As the prelude of "Singing the Motherland" sounded, Lu Chiyu also sang:
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind,
How loud the victory song is,
Bless our beloved motherland,
From now on, we will be happy, prosperous and strong..."
As soon as this clear and pleasant song came out, the whole audience burst into huge applause.
First, they were amazed by Lu Chiyu’s voice as soon as he opened his mouth, and second, the lyrics were so appropriate for the occasion.
Didn’t their Red Country just win the battle against Country B?
The last song, "Singing the Motherland", which is known as the "second national anthem", is so familiar, so intimate, and so passionate.
All of a sudden, the soldiers, their wives, children, Minister Shen and other leaders, as well as all the guests at the venue couldn't help but sing along with Lu Chiyu: "Singing to our beloved motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength..."
Led by Minister Shen, everyone in the venue stood up tacitly and sang in unison with Lu Chiyu and the others on the stage, and the singing immediately resounded through the night sky.
Not only the audience at the conference, but also everyone in front of the TV in the Red Country couldn't help but stand up and sing along...
At this moment, a song connects the hearts of all the descendants of China. At this moment, everyone is singing for their motherland!
Many, many years later, countless people will still remember this scene tonight.
They were deeply proud of being the children of the Red Country, and at the same time, they could not forget Lu Chiyu, who was so bright and charming on the stage that it was shocking...
At this moment, General Rong and his wife, Rong Feiyang and his wife, and Gu Yuan were all standing in the chief seats arranged by Minister Shen.
Looking at the confident and bright Lu Chiyu on the stage, they were even more excited. In addition to singing in chorus, they also clapped their hands until they were broken.
At this moment, they are proud of Lu Chiyu!
So Lu Chiyu and the others thought they were just having an "ordinary" chorus, but unexpectedly they achieved amazing results and became the first and most exciting program of the night.
Qian Fanghua and the others were so excited that their eyes were red.
After the performance, Minister Shen brought the leaders of the Red Country to commend those who had made contributions in the battle with Country B.
As Lu Chiyu expected, her father Rong Feiyang became the first person to be honored.
Minister Shen on the stage personally read out all of Rong Feiyang's achievements over the years, including the fact that he was trapped in the C Sea for thirteen years and discovered a huge amount of oil in the C Sea and developed extremely difficult extraction technology.
He then devoted himself to the research of upgrading nuclear weapons and nuclear counterattacks, and made another major breakthrough.
For example, their discovery of oil deep in the ocean was one of his research results.
Another thing that Minister Shen didn't mention was that the password box that Gu Yuan later obtained from him contained the core data of the nuclear submarine developed by the other party.
Because of this data, the Red Country's stagnant nuclear submarine research has made rapid progress in the past two years. Although it has not yet manufactured a nuclear submarine, it has made gratifying progress.
Possessing nuclear submarines as nuclear counterattack weapons is currently urgently needed by the Red Country. Although nuclear weapons are now banned internationally, who can be absolutely sure that no country will use them against you?
Therefore, it is very necessary to possess nuclear submarines as nuclear counterattack weapons, because as long as a country still has a nuclear submarine, even if all its territory is lost and destroyed by nuclear bombs, it can carry out nuclear retaliation against the enemy!
With the deterrent of nuclear retaliation, other countries will not dare to use nuclear weapons against you easily!
It can be said that Rong Feiyang’s code box provided significant help to the research and development of nuclear submarines, and he should be credited for this.
However, since the nuclear submarine has not yet been made, it is not appropriate to make this matter public.
Even without the last item, Rong Feiyang's previous achievements are enough to make people admire him.
Therefore, Rong Feiyang was awarded the rank of general by Minister Shen on the spot, and was also awarded two special merits.
One is a recognition of his various contributions before his disappearance, and the other is a recognition of his discovery of huge amounts of oil deep in the C Sea and his research on extraction technology.
Rong Feiyang's deeds made the Chinese people at the scene and in front of the TV admire him so much that no one had any doubts about his recognition.
There was only warm applause from everyone at the scene and in front of the TV.
Even after Rong Feiyang left the stage, the applause continued...
Minister Shen then commended Hairong Feiyang, Huang Ze, and 18 other researchers including Lu Yuxuan.
All of them were awarded a collective first-class merit.
After being awarded this honor, Huang Ze and others on the stage burst into tears again.
Thirteen years of hard work and persistence finally saw the light of day and received recognition from the Republic. Lu Chiyu, sitting in the audience, was sincerely happy for them.
Lu Chiyu vividly remembered the time when she and Gu Yuan went to that small South Island. They sang loudly about dying together with the enemy rather than surrendering in disgrace, so they deserved this honor now!
When everyone knew what they had done on the C Sea Island, they clapped their hands once again.
After commending Rong Feiyang and others, the next person to go on stage was Lu Chiyu.
As everyone expected, Lu Chiyu was also awarded a special merit. This was the first time that Lu Chiyu had achieved a special merit, and it was also the second time she had seen the legendary special merit.
Yes, Lu Chiyu just saw the awarding ceremony of special merit tonight. The first one was from her father Rong Feiyang, and the second one was hers.
The highest military merit she had received before was the first-class merit.
First-class merit is rare, and special-class merit is only approved for milestone contributions. This shows how great the achievements made by this father and daughter are and how much they have contributed to the Republic.
When Lu Chiyu personally took over the small metal military medal from Minister Shen, she was so excited!
This is not just a metal medal, it is the recognition of her contribution by the Republic and her motherland!
At this time, the audience burst into applause.
No one had any doubts about Lu Chiyu receiving this special merit, because everyone knew that her ground effect vehicle and upgraded information system played a crucial role in forcing Country B to retreat without a fight.
It can be said that Country B was scared away by Lu Chiyu’s two “national treasures”!
The ground-effect drones that can hit the territory of Country B and the information system that can accurately locate the coordinates of Country B's aircraft carrier formation make it impossible for Country B to afford the cost of attacking their Red Country and unable to gain any advantage in the battle, so Country B withdrew its troops.
Seeing Lu Chiyu accept the medal, Minister Shen excitedly encouraged her:
"Comrade Lu Chiyu, our Red Country will face more challenges in the future. The road ahead is full of thorns and bright lights. I hope you can remain true to your original aspiration and continue to contribute to the Republic." With younger generations like you, we old bones can finally rest assured to hand over the future of the Red Country to you.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chiyu immediately saluted the other party solemnly: "Understood, Chief. I will work hard."
Lu Chiyu didn't say too many sentimental words, but her voice was firm. She knew that the other party could understand her determination.
"Okay, okay, okay!" As expected, Minister Shen nodded heavily and said "okay" three times in a row.
Obviously, neither party said much during the award ceremony, but the scene was inexplicably touching.
After awarding Lu Chiyu the medal, Minister Shen personally commended the soldiers of all sizes who had fought off the enemy from Country B.
Even if it was just a third-class merit, he would personally award it, and the process lasted for half an hour.
It is worth mentioning that Gu Yuan was also commended.
