Author: Passer-by from the South China Sea

On the way back home, Jiang Fan stood on the deck and blew the sea breeze.

Looking at the endless blue sea, I was thinking about building a new naval special force after returning to the station.

This time fighting pirates on Irfan Island.

It was different from what he imagined.

Pirates were more difficult to deal with than he thought.

In normal training exercises, both the red and blue sides resist desperately and are organized and disciplined.

But real pirates have great flexibility in organization and discipline, and their experience from past drills does not apply.

At this moment, Yang Rui came over and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Fan smiled and replied casually: "It's okay."

Yang Rui: "You played a major leadership role in this operation."

"I heard that my superiors are planning to form a naval special force."

"When you go back this time, in addition to making great contributions, the position of captain of the naval special forces should also be yours."

"..."

Jiang Fan and his party returned to their base.

This rescue mission was successfully completed and had a huge impact.

For this reason, the Navy of the Southeast Military Region held a commendation meeting for them.

The top commander of the Navy personally participated in this event.

Under the award podium, stood many leaders of the Southeast Navy and outstanding soldiers.

They all came to participate in this commendation meeting, which shows how much the Navy attaches importance to this meeting.

Long Baichuan took the microphone and said a few official polite words before getting down to business.

"This time we are on a mission to rescue Irfan Island and the Chinese crew members were kidnapped."

"The eight special forces members of the Jiaolong Special Forces Team performed outstandingly. Under the leadership of Comrade Jiang Fan, eight of them went deep into the pirate group."

"Not only did we successfully rescue the crew, but we also successfully eliminated two-thirds of the pirates on Irfan Island, about 400 people."

"..."

"For this reason, the superiors will give each of them a personal second-class merit reward!"

"Now, please invite eight members of the Jiaolong Special Forces Team to come on stage to receive commendations!"

Yang Rui and the other eight people immediately came out of the team and walked onto the podium amidst the applause of everyone.

The leaders and soldiers in the audience expressed doubts after hearing Long Baichuan's last words.

"Isn't it the very famous Jiang Fan who led the eight of them on the rescue mission?"

"Why are only these eight people allowed to take the stage now?"

"And the most important team leader, Jiang Fan, was not called?"

"I guess his performance is the most outstanding, so he should be commended separately."

"I guess it's not that simple."

"..."

Yang Rui and the other eight received the military medals awarded by the commander himself.

Then Yang Rui, as the captain, briefly expressed a few words about receiving the military medal.

Then he walked off the award podium.

Long Baichuan took the microphone again and said solemnly: "As the captain of the rescue mission this time, Jiang Fan's performance is particularly outstanding."

"During the rescue operation, he played an important role in leading the entire team."

"And he graduated with first place in the International Hunter School."

"I participated in the inter-military special forces competition not long ago."

"With an absolute advantage, we crushed the second place and won the first place!"

"Due to Jiang Fan's various outstanding performances, the headquarters decided to award Comrade Jiang Fan first-class merit!"

When everyone heard the words "First Class Merit", they were all stunned.

You know, there is a saying that third-class merit can be taken by anyone, second-class merit can be taken lying down, and first-class merit can be taken by family members.

Although this statement is not completely correct, it is enough to show how difficult it is to get first-class merit!

Very few people can get first-class merit alive.

The leader saw Jiang Fan coming out of the team and came up to receive the military medal.

Be the first to start applauding, breaking the silent atmosphere at the scene.

Then violent applause broke out.

Everyone was so shocked just now that they forgot that they should applaud now.

When the chief saw Jiang Fan coming, he stood up from his seat from a distance.

Prepare to award Jiang Fan with a military medal.

Jiang Fan came to him and saluted solemnly, and the leader smiled.

First he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jiang Fan. He smiled happily and praised, "Jiang Fan, you are really young and promising."

"I didn't expect you to be so young."

"From now on, we can make great achievements in the Navy of the Southeast Military Region."

"..."

Everyone in the audience watched Jiang Fan being treated so warmly by the chief.

Everyone applauded vigorously and was extremely envious.

Many chiefs looked at Jiang Fan and couldn't help but sigh: "This Jiang Fan looks like he is only in his early twenties."

"To be so powerful, I thought he was at least in his thirties."

"You are so young and promising!"

"Some people are born heroes!"

"First place in the International Hunter Academy, first place in the Special Forces Competition, rescued the kidnapped Chinese crew."

"If you take any one of these, it will be enough for others to rest on their laurels for a lifetime."

"No wonder the superiors gave me first-class merit."

"..."

Xiang Yu, Liu Xiaoshan, Deng Jiuguang, and the people from the Fourth Company were all so happy that they almost clapped their hands.

They were even more excited than they were when they received first-class merit.

They know that Jiang Fan is worth it!

People in the fourth company are even more happy to show off to others.

"Jiang Fan, our company commander!"

"His deeds are not limited to these three. If you tell them all, you can say that three days and three nights are not the same!"

After Jiang Fan received the first-class military medal and gave a speech.

The top commander of the Navy took the microphone and said solemnly: "Our army is preparing to form a naval special force."

"In view of Comrade Jiang Fan's outstanding performance, he is appointed as the future captain of the Naval Special Forces of the Southeast Military Region!"

"Promoted to Colonel!"

"Today he will be officially awarded the military rank, and the selection of the naval special forces will begin at a later date."

"Welcome everyone, enthusiastically sign up for the selection of special forces!"

When this news was announced, even more violent applause came from the sky and the earth.

The supreme commander of the navy personally awarded Jiang Fan the rank of major.

Everyone in the audience looked at Jiang Fan with admiration, truly envious of others.

He was young and had only joined the Navy not long ago.

He became a major directly and had to form a special force.

He was only in his early twenties, and he did something that others would most likely not be able to do in their lifetime.

Some of the soldiers under the medal podium have already begun to discuss signing up for the special forces selection.
