After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 712: Chapter 485: National Firefighting Forces, 160,000!_2

The firefighters and the newly arrived People’s Liberation Army recruits all noticed the fierce sparks flying between the two men.

The new recruit standing in front of Fang Huai felt an intense military standoff atmosphere, swallowing nervously several times.

Sensing the movement in the new recruit’s throat, Fang Huai then patted him on the shoulders with both hands and walked towards the captain a few meters away.

He suddenly remembered the scene from a year ago, when he stood in the Armed Forces Department Courtyard facing that burly new recruit.

If it was himself now, having stepped on someone else, even if he had the power to bully the weak, he would probably sincerely apologize, not as frivolous as before.

But facing this captain, he would not show the slightest weakness, because during the recruitment period, they had met several times, and the captain had always looked down on the Firefighting forces that he cherished.

Honor cannot be conceded by even a fraction.

However, he did not bring his medal today.

Yesterday, there was a moment when he really wanted to bring it, to give that captain a lesson.

But today, the courtyard was full of new recruits and their families heading to different parts of the country. Wearing the medal would make it difficult to speak and argue without affecting the mood negatively.

Moreover, he had heard that this medal would continue to be awarded to some military scientists who made significant contributions. As one of the first awardees, he had to be careful about his every word and action in public, which could potentially disgrace this highest honor.

Nevertheless, although he didn’t bring the medal, he brought his physique.

He came to let the other party know...

"I understand now!"

The captain in front of him suddenly yelled out and gave him a salute.

Everyone around was stunned.

What’s going on?

Fang Huai also felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

How the heck do you understand? You know everything I’m thinking? Do you have mind-reading abilities?

But seeing the other party salute, Fang Huai could only return it.

Only then did the captain lower his hand and shouted,

"Comrade Fang Huai! I am aware of your honor, and I want to apologize to you for what I said and did yesterday and before! You are a great meritorious service to the country! I admire you!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Getting to know about Fang Huai, in fact, wasn’t difficult.

Last night, after hearing the Firefighting Chief of Staff’s phrase "to scare you to death," he felt somewhat unconvinced and inquired about Fang Huai’s full name. After returning to the Guest House, he borrowed a computer and searched for "Guizhou Fire Brigade, Fang Huai."

It’s difficult to find military personnel’s information on the internet these days, but he thought since it was a local troop considering an award, there must be some deeds, and the name must be mentioned.

When searching, he felt a little proud.

You firefighters are not classified, but I am an experienced netizen. Let’s see if your achievements are worth reporting online.

If it isn’t even on the internet, haha, then you shouldn’t bring it up to me.

But to his surprise, he found a Baidu entry!

What does that mean?!

Baidu entries are new this year, not even all city-level leaders are included, and this Fang Huai has one?

Could it be bought with money?

But as soon as he opened the devoted page, he saw a photo of a senior leader awarding a medal!

An August First Medal awardee!

Those seven words blew his mind.

The inception of that medal overshadowed the achievements of many heroes. When everyone heard about it, they would wonder, what deeds could live up to the honor that surpasses this title?

But it was said that the first two recipients identified a hidden danger as severe as that earthquake and led the brave Tangjia Mountain Assault Team to conduct a controlled demolition, saving millions of people downstream from a devastating flood, and everyone was convinced.

Saving a life is greater than building a seven-story pagoda. How many layers of pagodas would that equate to?

If other first to third-class merits or even honors can come from different systems and can be awarded by the Military Commission or the GA Department, then this medal represents the highest honor across all armed forces.

Moreover, this Fang Huai had other achievements. As he read one after another, the more he read, the more startled he became.

Life-saving, martial arts competitions.

In the face of such a person, what did he have to be proud of?

His pride stemmed from the historical honors of the troops he was attached to, while the other was creating the historical honors for a troop!

The entry of a few hundred words made the captain feel somewhat unreal as he looked at Fang Huai’s face.

And the people around were somewhat confused.

What honor are you yelling about?

Chen Zhechang saw the people around him discussing animatedly and suddenly laughed loudly.

Isn’t this an opportunity to set up the punchline?

He had long let Fang Huai take out the August First Medal to wear and boost the image of the firefighting forces, which also facilitated the recruitment process. But Fang Huai always said that the medal should not be used casually. To wear it, it must be a significant occasion and its impact had to be considered.

Chen Zhechang didn’t know what to say.

But today, it wasn’t me who brought it up, right?

With that laugh, many people looked over, and Chen Zhechang took the opportunity to clear his throat and loudly said to the new recruits in front of him,

"You recognize Group Leader Fang, right? Many of you were recruited by him. Let me tell you! He is someone you must forever study and look up to in your future military careers, and he is a role model for the entire national firefighting forces! He is a recipient of the newest, highest military honor, the August First Medal! The entire military has only two of these! Him personally sending you off into the Firefighting forces is also your honor!"

Astonishment.

The entire military... only two.

Upon arrival, why did no one tell me the Firefighting was this formidable?

A parent asked, "What’s the use of this honor? Does it help with promotions?"

One of the sending parents who had been a soldier looked Fang Huai up and down repeatedly and mused,

"You’ve never been a soldier, you wouldn’t understand! Honor is the most important thing in the troops! Our old company had a First Class Meritorious Service, and that was something to be recorded in the county annals, with a lot of fanfare and awarding of plaques! In the troops, it commands great respect!
