Him and their stars.

Chapter 374
But fortunately, this promotion ceremony was just a formality after all, and Yu Lian didn't need to force himself and Mr. Peker to make false claims for a long time.After getting a new collar badge, letter of appointment, and a Silver Star with Purple Ribbon, he resigned.

The medal is naturally in recognition of his achievements in suppressing the Lumina rebellion, suppressing the cult of all spirits, and suppressing the pirates in the far coast star area.

Of course, it's not just him, Brigadier General Mark Love and Senior Eleanor also have them on the Thirteenth Fleet.There are other officers in important positions, but they are only the Silver Star Medal with Green Ribbon, which is lowered by a first class, and even Feifei who "occasionally passes by" as an army reporter also has it.The remaining ordinary officers and soldiers will also have at least a second-class Bronze Star.

At least this time, the National Defense Council has been quite generous.

In fact, based on the record, it is reasonable to dismantle the imperial fortress, grab a new weapon and kill a marquis, even if you get a diamond crown and two swords medal.It's just that, in the current "peace period", it is rare to get a military medal of this level once in ten years. In theory, it should be authorized by Congress and an award ceremony should be held at the same time.

The empire has been so stimulated recently that the situation on the border is already quite tense.With the consistent style of the Commonwealth government, it is not bad to be able to give secret commendations to everyone in the Thirteenth Fleet who have made military exploits. Of course, it is impossible to stimulate the empire.

Of course, compared with the foreign ministry, the National Defense Commission has been "frank" enough.No, when Yu Lian had just left the National Defense Commission building and was about to go to the officer's restaurant next to him to spend public funds to fill his stomach, the communication terminal received a prompt, but it was a call from a deputy director of the Foreign Affairs and Security Department of the Foreign Affairs Commission.

"Assistant military attache to the Imperial Embassy?"

"Yes, the official letter of appointment will be sent to you tomorrow, along with your foreign affairs passport and various certificates. It just so happens that the day after tomorrow there will be a cultural exchange group from our country to Tianyu, the capital of the empire. You can go with them. Of course, if you have other plans, we will reimburse you for the business class and below. Major General Vatrall, the military attaché abroad, reports."

If it was a direct fast passenger ship departing from the solar system, the voyage to the capital of the empire would also take forty days.This means that if Yu Lian has other arrangements, the time left for him is running out.

Fortunately, he really had nothing else to do. At most, he would instruct the two technical nerds in the Red Star Institute to communicate with Dr. Zinov who was about to come to work in May.

The 55-year-old Dr. Nikolai Zinov is one of the great talents that the Red Star Institute has been poaching.He is not well-known now, but five years later, he was the first scientific master who proposed the theory of molecular recombination.The theoretical research accomplishments in the subspace theory are by no means under the empire and the alliance, which has a lot of talents and technical reserves that are several blocks away from the community.

It is a pity that the academic circles in the Community have always paid little attention to his theory.

In another timeline, after the solar system was completely occupied by the enemy, when the imperial officials approached him respectfully and asked him to leave the mountain, and offered him the academician of the Academy of Sciences and the professorship of the Imperial Central University of Science and Technology, he was in front of these people. A fierce man who burned his own laboratory and all research reports while drinking vodka "tons and tons".

The imperial officials were furious, but in order to show the benevolence of the newly enthroned empress and respect for the master of science, they could do nothing in the end and could only return angrily.

The old man simply ran back to his hometown and became an ordinary middle school physics teacher. However, when the empire's vigilance against him was just a little loose, he directly joined the Volunteer Army and became its chief science and equipment director.

Although the old man passed away due to an engineering accident within a few years, he has indeed cultivated a large group of engineering masters who can do everything with their hands.From this point of view, besides his own theoretical research, Dr. Zinov is also a very good experimental physicist and engineer.

Speaking of which, Yi Na, the future master of "French military industry", should also be influenced by Dr. Zinov, right?
In addition, Eisen Franky, the later Chief Technologist of the Volunteers and now the fledgling technical geek, has always regarded himself as a disciple of Dr. Zinov.If this big white fat man and the doctor meet in advance, what kind of sparks can be created?

Of course, the historical image of a person is not necessarily consistent with the real image.Yu Lian couldn't guarantee that Dr. Zinov's real person would be as tough as he imagined, but at least, he was more trustworthy than others.

In short, as long as he is willing to come, he can take a closer look, and if he really confirms that it is correct, he can give him the follow-up research on the space bubble that he got down.

Dr. Zinov decided to join with a large group of assistants and students.This is naturally a good thing, and the Red Star Office will be able to add a batch of research teams that can be used immediately.It's just that, with so many people coming here with big bags and small bags, it will take time just to move and settle down, which dragged on until May.

This means that before returning from the empire, there is no way to communicate with Dr. Zinov face to face.

Yu Lian sighed in his heart, but he saw the deputy director behind the communication window pondering for a moment, with a slightly distressed expression on his face: "The reason for your appointment this time is more or less because the Empire gave you We have sent out a formal invitation letter, so we have to pay attention... But, Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian, one moment and another moment! When the Empire sent you the invitation letter, those things hadn’t happened yet!"

"What are you talking about, and what are they?" Yu Lian became confused.

"That's right, that's the attitude. Last year, nothing happened between us and the empire. Those so-called incidents are nothing! When you go there, you must have this attitude when facing the media and the empire." He nodded, and then said: "Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been in a lot of pain recently! Being scolded by the Congress, the media, the people, and wiping your military's ass from time to time... But what can we do? We are also very Desperate! Isn’t the mainstream trend of thought in the entire galaxy now peaceful development? There is such a big gap between us and the empire, can we really start a full-scale war? If there is a full-scale war, will the Alliance really come to the rescue? Anyway, I don’t believe it .”

Yu Lian found it interesting.The current political arena of the community is full of kneeling elders and radicals with bipolar disorder, and rationalists with such a clear mind are really a minority among the minority.

"...Uh, sorry, what's your name? The sea breeze was too strong just now, so I couldn't hear you clearly."

The deputy director on the opposite side gave a helpless wry smile: "I'm Morris Rancher... Hey, forget it, it doesn't matter if you can't remember, I don't mind."

These words made Yu Lian even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely remember you!"

These words are so intrusive, a trace of horror flashed across the face of Deputy Director Lanche, and he hurriedly said: "In short, you should treat it as a long and comfortable vacation. When you arrive in the empire, as long as you don't take the initiative to live Well, the empire will definitely treat you as a guest of honor. My colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have been suffering recently, and several of them have collapsed due to acute gastroenteritis. I don’t want to follow in their footsteps. My son is only 10 years old, and I can’t Fall!"

To put it bluntly, this hero seems to be a walking human disaster, which is really annoying.In addition, acute gastroenteritis is not a terminal illness. Even if it turns into advanced gastric cancer these days, no one will die.

"Those of us who are serious diplomats, who didn't come out of the cold window after studying hard, didn't know more than 20 foreign languages ​​before the age of 3, and were not familiar with international law before the age of 30, which didn't even count as an introduction. After waiting for so many years, who wouldn't want to Do you want to fight side by side on that battlefield? But right now, you can only rely on a bit of thick skin to maintain such a fragile peace. Really, Lieutenant Colonel, you are a talented person and you can speak well, so you must hold your hand high. !"

Mr. Deputy Director added: "Also, that, yes, Your Excellency the Ambassador is also a worry... ah no, a person who is too passionate. I think he will appreciate young talents like you very much, but really, definitely Can't add fuel to the fire."

"Look at what you said, I'm actually a pacifist who loves Shuiyuejing! Don't worry, this time the empire's party really only has eyes and ears, and nothing will happen.!"

Well, looking at this tone, it seemed to be a bit pleading, of course Yu Lian had no choice but to save face.

Having said all this, what else can Mr. Lancher do?He could only put on a bitter face, and muttered a few more difficult words like "this age doesn't stop", "it's agreed that literati are soft persimmons", "stomach medicine is sold out at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs" and other incomprehensible words If not, then bid farewell to Yu Lian with suspicion.

After cutting off the communication, Yu Lian apologized in his heart to everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for three seconds, and then walked briskly towards the officer's dining room again.

He can't wait to eat a good lunch now.With his current appetite, he would have to spend two to three hundred yuan to have a relatively delicious lunch in Eternal City.But next to it is the headquarters building of the unified military order, and the restaurant next to it is open to all officers for free, so why bother to look far away?
The first floor of the restaurant is mainly occupied by lieutenant officers of the middle and lower ranks. In order not to cause trouble for everyone, Yu Lian found a secluded compartment and sat down, ordering a set of each of today's four types of officer set meals.

After confirming the order twice, the orderly sergeant hid a trace of disdain in his eyes, and walked away with a smile.

Yu Lian stared at the door of the restaurant in a daze while waiting for today's lunch.However, before the dishes were served, his eyes suddenly brightened.

It wasn't that he saw the beauty, but that he saw two young officers entering the restaurant hand in hand.They are handsome and heroic. Although they only wear the rank of captain, they have a full sense of presence. It feels like they will not show any timidity when they meet a general.The red-haired young man with a more burly body has a kind of courage that should be born to stand above others.

"Hey, Horatio, Mihir, come and sit here." Yu Lian poked his head out from behind the screen in the cubicle, and greeted the two of them.

Both of them showed surprise expressions, and strode over.However, before the two of them approached, Yu Lian suddenly said "slow" and pointed to the golden four-leaf clover on his collar badge.

"Both captains, you are saluting ranks, not individuals."

The slightly bookish brown-haired one showed a helpless embarrassing face, and he almost said, "Are you still a child?".

As for the great man with red hair, he has already started gnashing his teeth.
