Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Seeing Fang Yu's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, General Chen laughed.

"You are Fang Yu? Heroes are indeed born young!"

"Old Huang, don't you think so?"

Hearing this, Minister Huang beside him also nodded.

"Well, that's quite good. It's your first time at this kind of event, and you've managed to remain neither humble nor overbearing. You're someone who can accomplish great things!"

"Thank you both for your compliments, you two are truly over-praised."

Hearing this, Fang Yu replied respectfully.

Fang Yu admired the founders of the New Dragon Kingdom from the bottom of his heart.

If they had not sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, there would be no New Dragon Kingdom today!

I don’t even know if I will appear in this world.

"Hahaha, I'm not exaggerating at all..."

General Chen smiled and waved his hand.

"In less than half a year since you joined the Northeast Military Factory, you've already developed the Type 51 rocket launcher, the Type 81 assault rifle, and the Changying No. 1 air defense missile."

"Completing any of these tasks would be a tremendous achievement!"

"Moreover, it was with the help of these weapons you researched that our Dragon Warriors just won their third battle against the American army! They liberated the South Korean capital of Hancheng!"

"Not only that, for the first time, we achieved a nearly 1:3 casualty ratio with the American army. We defeated 1.9 of their troops at the cost of only 6000 casualties!"

"This is an unprecedented victory!"

General Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice gradually became more passionate.

No wonder General Chen was so excited.

Before this, Longguo and the United States had fought twice, although Longguo won in the end.

However, the casualties they suffer are often twice or even three times that of the enemy.

This was achieved when all conditions were favorable to the Dragon Kingdom and it was a close combat situation.

This time, the soldiers of Dragon Country launched an attack on the defenders of the United States on the front battlefield on the plain terrain that the United States liked most!

In this terrain, the United States can maximize its firepower advantage and also occupy the geographical advantage.

Before the war, the Dragon Army had already evaluated the battle.

The conclusion is that this will be a Pyrrhic victory.

The casualty ratio may reach 5:1!

However, unexpectedly, with the help of the weapons developed by Fang Yu, the soldiers of Dragon Country actually won an epic victory!

With a loss of less than 6000 people, the entire Eighth Army of the United States was directly annihilated!

The moment the battle report came from the front line, General Chen couldn't even believe what he saw!

After finding out the whole story, he did not hesitate at all and immediately summoned Fang Yu to come to the imperial capital to see him.

"This great victory is inseparable from the weapons you researched."

"With the assistance of these weapons, the number of casualties among our soldiers would probably be five times, or even ten times, what it is now!"

"So, on behalf of these warriors... no! On behalf of all the warriors of the Dragon Nation, I express my gratitude to you!"

As he spoke, General Chen actually stood up from the sofa and bowed slightly to Fang Yu.

Seeing this, both Director Huang and Li Dingyuan and others were extremely shocked.

Who is General Chen?

One of the few great generals of the Dragon Kingdom, his status is only below the ten war marshals, and in terms of seniority, his status is even deeper than some of the war marshals.

If it weren't for some reasons, there might have been eleven of the ten great war marshals of the Dragon Kingdom!

There are not many people in the entire Dragon Kingdom’s upper echelons who can withstand his bow.

Now, he actually took the initiative to bow to the young man Fang Yu, which showed that he was indeed very grateful to Fang Yu.

Immediately, Fang Yu quickly turned sideways and spoke respectfully.

"General Chen, your praise is too much! I don't deserve it!"

"The research and development of these weapons is not my own achievement, but the credit of the entire team, and the unwavering support of my colleagues at the military factory. I was able to achieve this small achievement!"

"Xiao Fang, I think you should stop being so modest. If our Dragon Nation wants to realize its revival as soon as possible, it needs talents like you!"

On the side, seeing Fang Yu being so humble and not taking credit for himself, Minister Huang nodded with great satisfaction.

Said with great appreciation.

"The reason we asked you to come to the imperial capital this time is not for any other reason, but because we wanted to see you, our great hero, with our own eyes and present you with an award."

"Yes, yes, I was so busy with my excitement that I almost forgot about the important matter."

Hearing this, General Chen's face became serious and he said to Fang Yu.

"Comrade Fang Yu has performed exceptionally well in designing new weapons. Following research and decision by our superiors, we hereby award him the Military Medal of Honor and First-Class Merit!"

"We have also decided to award Comrade Fang Yu the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, granting him the rank of Deputy Regimental Officer!"

"what?"

Upon hearing the content of the commendation, Fang Yu was stunned.

Is this me, the lieutenant colonel?

This rank is not low! The general rank of Lieutenant Colonel is equivalent to the level of battalion commander or even deputy regimental commander in the military!

Moreover, being awarded a military rank is of extraordinary significance.

I used to be a scientific researcher in a military factory, but now I have a military rank and have become a military personnel.

This means that he has been fully recognized and accepted by the Dragon Country Army!

From then on, I became a member of the system.

In terms of position, he is even on par with the director of a military factory...

"Minister Huang, General Chen, isn't this reward too great?"

"Promoting an ordinary person like me directly to the position of Lieutenant Colonel seems too much..."

Fang Yu said with a guilty conscience.

"Haha, not that serious! Just take any one of those three weapons you developed and you'd be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel!"

"If the higher-ups hadn't considered it so much, I would even think I should have given you the rank of colonel!"

General Chen chuckled and patted Fang Yu on the shoulder.

General Chen is right.

He really felt that Fang Yu's contribution to developing the Type 81 rifle was enough to earn him a promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

As a soldier who has experienced many battles, he only test-fired it once, and he fell in love with this Type 81 rifle to the core...

"Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to mention."

At this time, General Chen patted his head and said.

"It's really a waste of talent for a talent like you to stay in a place like the Northeast Military Factory."

"The reason why Minister Huang and I are meeting you here today, besides commending you for your achievements, is to tell you that we plan to transfer you back."

"As for whether you'd like to go to the 301 Institute to assist Director Li and his team in researching new weapons, or to become an associate professor of weapons design at Harbin Institute of Technology, which I run, it's up to you..."

Hearing this, Fang Yu was slightly stunned.

Wow, I didn’t expect the reward from the higher-ups to be so generous.

Not only was he given the rank of lieutenant colonel, he was even transferred back to the imperial capital.

Whether it is a research institute of 301 or an associate professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, these are positions with great prospects.

From this, it seems that the top leaders of Longguo really attach great importance to me.

Upon hearing General Chen's words, Li Dingyuan and Liu Zhenye beside him also became excited.

He kept giving Fang Yu hints, asking him to choose to work at Institute 301.

They had long been drooling over Fang Yu's talent in weapon making.

Especially Li Dingyuan. If Chen Shukang and Minister Huang were not still there, he would have sworn to Fang Yu long ago that he would rather give up his position as deputy director in order to get Fang Yu to join...
