Chapter 131: Speech by the unique young general Su Zhengyang
The Dragon Medal and the rank of general, both of these things have extraordinary significance and can demonstrate the status of the recipient.
It is true that Su Zhengyang is now the governor of a state, and the heads of other warlords mostly hold the rank of general, but Su Zhengyang is too young. According to the regulations of the Northern Frontier Military, only those who are at least 45 years old, have an armed force of more than 100,000 people under their command, and have made outstanding contributions to the Northern Frontier can be awarded the rank of general.
Su Zhengyang meets the requirements on several other points, except for the issue of age. In fact, at Su Zhengyang's current age, it is extremely rare for him to have the rank of lieutenant general, which has set an unprecedented precedent.
Take Yang Chengjun, the eldest son of Yang Jiakai, who is four years older than Su Zhengyang and the brother of Yang Qiyue, for example. Yang Chengjun, now 27 years old, joined the army at the age of 18 and followed the core six-town troops of the Northern Xinjiang government in battles across the country, making outstanding military achievements. For nearly ten years, he is currently only a major general division commander, commanding a town.
You know, Yang Chengjun not only has the blessing of being the president's son, but he is also extremely outstanding himself.
If Su Zhengyang really became a general, it would be a shocking event!
As for the Divine Dragon Medal, it is even more precious. Only those who have made indelible contributions to the Northern Frontier, turned the tide and saved the country from collapse are eligible to receive this medal. At present, in the entire Northern Frontier government system, the only people who have received this medal are Prime Minister Duan Jinshu, President Yang Jiakai, and Zhili Governor-General Zhang Chengxiang. Even the current Jiang Dapao has not been able to receive a Divine Dragon Medal.
You can imagine how difficult it is to obtain this medal.
Moreover, those who receive this medal can spend their old age in peace under the protection of the Northern Xinjiang government even if they lose their army or status in the future. It is equivalent to a disguised golden medal of immunity from death and has extraordinary significance.
Yang Jiakai spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Perhaps many people will raise objections and think that Su Zhengyang is not qualified to obtain the rank of general and this Dragon Medal, but what I want to say is that Su Zhengyang, at the age of 23, started from scratch and built the Northwest Revolutionary Army, an elite division that has never been defeated in a hundred battles, wiped out the Guo faction rebels, and became the governor of Linzhou. This is a miracle in itself! With his current strength and status, he is definitely qualified to obtain the rank of general! Age should not be a stumbling block that prevents such an outstanding young talent from climbing up!"
"This decision by the Northern Xinjiang government breaks the old rules and stereotypes, and will bring great encouragement to all young talents! It will inject new vitality into the younger generation of our Northern Xinjiang government!"
"As for this Dragon Medal, it was because the Northwest Revolutionary Army wiped out the Fuso troops that invaded China without any consultation with our Northern Frontier Government in the northern border of Linzhou! It fired the first shot for China to fight against the foreign powers! Just for this reason, Su Zhengyang deserves this honor!"
Below, the Fuso ambassador to China, Hideta Yamaguchi, stared at Lin Zheng on the podium with a gloomy look, and his fierce eyes seemed to want to devour anyone.
If it weren’t for Su Zhengyang’s existence, if it weren’t for the cunning of the Northwest Revolutionary Army and the incompetence of the Guo faction!
The current Fuso Suzuki Division has already moved south from Mongolia and controlled the entire situation in Linzhou, allowing Fuso to once again make a significant contribution to China's land occupation plan.
Yang Jiakai solemnly hung the Dragon Medal around Su Zhengyang's neck, and at the same time stuck the military emblem representing the rank of general on Su Zhengyang's shoulder.
"Next, our new member of Congress, Linzhou Governor Su Zhengyang, will give a speech on becoming a member of Congress and receiving the Divine Dragon Medal!"
Su Zhengyang nodded to Yang Jiakai, then picked up the microphone and said solemnly: "All the leaders of the Northern Frontier present here are elders to me, Su Zhengyang. After my father, Jiangbei Governor Su Yuting, passed away, I swore to uphold my father's will and build an army of my own. I will never bow down to the great powers and will sacrifice my life for the safety of China at all costs."
"In the past year or so, our Northwest Revolutionary Army has grown from a small local security group to a powerful force with outstanding military achievements in Linzhou. This is not the result of my efforts alone, Su Zhengyang, but the efforts of all officers and soldiers of the Northwest Revolutionary Army! Countless heroes shed blood on the battlefield, paying for this with their own blood, and even their own lives."
"After becoming a new member of Congress, I, Su Zhengyang, will lead the Northwest Revolutionary Army, stick to my purpose, inject new vitality into the Northern Frontier Government, and continuously create due value. Here, I, Su Zhengyang, swear! Any force that intends to split China and invade Chinese territory! No matter how powerful you are! I, Su Zhengyang, will use deafening gunfire to make you pay a painful price!"
At this moment, Su Zhengyang's gaze swept across the faces of the ambassadors of the major powers and the pro-power high-ranking officials of the Northern Frontier like a sharp knife, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, making people shudder.
Yang Qiuyue, who was sitting in the second row and wearing a professional suit, also showed a look of intoxication towards Su Zhengyang at this time.
“Once again, I would like to thank Northern Xinjiang, the president, the prime minister, and all the leaders for their trust. This concludes my speech.”
After Su Zhengyang bowed deeply to the audience, he walked up to the podium with the gait of a dragon and a tiger and sat back in his seat.
On the podium, Yang Jiakai shook his head helplessly. Even though ambassadors from major powers were present today, Su Zhengyang still used an extremely strong attitude to express his warning to those powers that were eyeing China's territory.
It can be said that he is young and full of vigor, or that he is too rigid and easily broken. In short, Su Zhengyang's tough attitude made the people present feel different.
People like Su Zhengyang who have a tough temper and are dissatisfied with the covetous eyes of the great powers, such as Jiang Dapao, are so excited that they want to stand up and applaud. On the other hand, the ambassadors of the great powers and the pro-great powers warlord leaders all have ugly faces as if they had eaten a fly.
"Next, Prime Minister Duan will give us a summary speech for the awarding ceremony. After the meeting, please go to the banquet hall on the third floor to attend the banquet hosted by the Northern Xinjiang government."
Three hours later, the dinner was over. Su Zhengyang and Yang Qiyue quietly left the government building through the back door, leaving the media reporters who were waiting in the cold wind empty-handed.
In the car, Yang Qiyue snuggled in Su Zhengyang's arms and said unhappily, "I told you many times not to say anything outrageous, but you're still as stinky and hard as a stone in a toilet."
Su Zhengyang smiled and said, "These great powers all regard China as a sweet cake, a piece of fat meat in front of them, and they can't wait to eat it. There is no need to be polite to these jackals and tigers. One day, I will drive them out of China! I will even kill them in their homeland and let them feel the taste of being bullied."
Yang Qiyue couldn't help but kiss Su Zhengyang's cheek lightly.
"I just like your fearlessness, as if no difficulties can stop your determination."
