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

The chief stood on the platform, staring through the window at the distant railway tracks.

The steel-paved road sparkles with hope in the sunlight.

"Xiao Fang," he said with emotion, his voice low and powerful, "you may not know what this means yet."

"With this railway network and trains, our Dragon Country is truly connected."

He turned around and looked at Fang Yu with sharp eyes.

"In the past, it took a month to walk from the imperial capital to Gwangju. Now, it only takes ten hours."

"This is not just about shortening time, but also about consolidating national strength!"

Mr. Lu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the transportation speed has increased, the flow of materials has become faster, and the movement of people has become more convenient."

"Resources and talent from all over the country can be quickly deployed, which is of decisive significance to promoting our industrialization process."

“And,” he added, a hint of excitement in his voice, “technological advances like these are enough to put us at the forefront of the world in rail transportation.”

Other leaders on the platform also spoke up, their words filled with longing and expectation for the future.

They talked about how the railway would change the face of Dragon Country, how it would promote economic development and how it would improve people's living standards.

Fang Yu listened quietly, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After everyone had finished speaking, he slowly spoke.

"What the leaders said is correct, but this is not the end."

His voice was calm, yet contained infinite confidence.

"Our trains can now run at 200 kilometres per hour, and this is just the beginning."

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

Fang Yu smiled and continued, "According to our plans and technological reserves, in a few years, we will be able to develop a train that can reach a speed of 400 kilometers per hour!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar on the platform.

"400 kilometers?" The chief's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

Fang Yu nodded solemnly. "Yes. We have already mastered the relevant core technologies, such as high-speed bogies, aerodynamic optimization, and traction system improvements."

"What we need to do now is to integrate these technologies and make systematic breakthroughs."

Pointing to the "Great Wall" locomotive in front of him, he continued, "This 200 km/h diesel locomotive actually only uses 60% of our technical reserves."

“The remaining 40% is all about preparing for a faster speed.”

Mr. Lu's hands were shaking with excitement. "If we could really build a train that could run at 400 kilometers per hour, wouldn't it only take five hours to get from the capital to Gwangju?"

"That's right." Fang Yu said with a smile, "By then, people from all over the country will be able to go anywhere in just half a day."

"After having breakfast in the capital in the morning, we can go to Gwangju for lunch at noon."

“This is the true meaning of ‘a world apart is a place where neighbors can live together’…”

The chief looked at Fang Yu deeply and suddenly laughed: "Great, great! Xiao Fang, you young people always bring us surprises."

He patted Fang Yu on the shoulder and said, "I believe that under the leadership of ambitious and capable young people like you, our Longguo railway will surely develop faster and better."

"I'm really looking forward to this 400-kilometer train ride!"

Fang Yu smiled modestly: "This is what we should do. For the development of Longguo, I have no choice but to do my part!"

"Yeah!"

"Xiao Fang, Dragon Country is so lucky to have you!"

Hearing Fang Yu's humble answer, the chief said with a smile.

Then, the chief and Mr. Lu looked at each other and nodded to each other.

"Xiao Fang, you gave us such a big surprise today, we should give you a surprise too."

"Come on, follow me back and I'll show you the surprise we've prepared for you!"

After saying that, he returned to the train and took everyone back to the central hall of the imperial capital.

Along the way, Fang Yu was slightly stunned, looking at the chief in confusion, very curious about what kind of surprise the chief had prepared for him.

An hour later, everyone returned to the hall of the imperial capital's center and took their seats.

Just when Fang Yu was about to take a seat, the chief suddenly called him.

The afternoon sun shines through the window lattices and falls into the central hall of Dragon Kingdom.

The huge conference hall was filled with leaders from all walks of life in Longguo. The air was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

The chief stood on the podium, his eyes scanning the crowd below.

Finally, it fell on Fang Yu, who was standing in front of the stage.

"Xiao Fang," the chief's voice was deep and powerful, "you gave us such a big surprise today, we should give you a surprise too."

The chief turned around and took out a red velvet box from the table behind him.

President Lu stood up from his seat and picked up the documents placed beside him.

"After research and decision by the Dragon Kingdom Military Commission," the chief's voice echoed in the conference hall, "Comrade Fang Yu is awarded the rank of Major General!"

Applause suddenly broke out in the conference hall.

Fang Yu stood there in a daze, his face full of shock.

He never expected that the "surprise" prepared by the chief for him would be so great!

"This, this is too heavy..." he stammered, "I can't bear it."

"Can't bear it?" Mr. Lu strode over to Fang Yu and patted him on the shoulder. "If you ask me, you can bear it!"

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the Type 59 tank and the Xiaolong fighter jet you designed."

"If it weren't for them, we wouldn't know how many more soldiers would have died on the peninsula!"

"Indeed, the arsenal ship you designed directly wiped out the Eagle Sauce's two strongest fleets, severely striking a blow to their arrogance!" The chief took over the conversation. "The improved plan for the Backfire bomber has made a qualitative leap in our air defense capabilities."

President Lu nodded. "Don't forget, you also led the team to develop Dragon Country's first electronic computer. Any one of these achievements is enough to make you deserve this position."

"But..." Fang Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the chief.

"Nothing but," the chief's tone left no room for doubt. "To be honest, if it weren't for your young age, based on your contributions, you'd be more than qualified for the rank of Lieutenant General."

"You deserve this rank of major general."

Warm applause rang out again in the conference hall.

Fang Yu stood in front of the stage, feeling the weight on his shoulders.

He could clearly hear his own heartbeat, which was filled with excitement and excitement, and an indescribable sense of responsibility surged in his chest.

The chief personally put on the golden epaulettes for him.

At that moment, Fang Yu felt his eyes getting a little hot.

"Thank you, Chief, thank you, Mr. Lu, and thank you to all the leaders." His voice was a little choked. "I will definitely continue to work hard and contribute my own strength to the development of Dragon Country."

"I believe," he took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination, "that in the near future, our Dragon Country will be able to return to the top of the world!"

The chief nodded with satisfaction: "Good! Ambitious!"

President Lu looked at the shining star on Fang Yu's shoulder, his eyes full of praise: "Did you know? You are the youngest general since the founding of the country."

“This is not only an honor, but also a responsibility.”

"Yes, I understand." Fang Yu said solemnly.

After the meeting, Fang Yu stood on the steps in front of the building, looking at the sunset in the sky. The star on his shoulder shone brightly in the setting sun.

He recalled every detail of these years, from an ordinary scientific researcher to a general.

There have been hardships and difficulties along the way, but more importantly, there is a deep sense of responsibility and mission to Longguo.

"General Fang." Mr. Lu's voice came from behind.

Fang Yu turned around and saw President Lu looking at him with a smile.

"Are you still not used to this name?" Mr. Lu walked over to him. "Take your time, you'll get used to it."

"Mr. Lu..." Fang Yu hesitated to speak.

"I know what you want to say." President Lu raised his hand to stop him. "You don't think you deserve this rank, right?"

Fang Yu nodded silently.

"Young man, sometimes excessive modesty is a form of pride," Chief Lu said meaningfully. "The commander and we can all see that you are a promising talent. This rank is not only a recognition of your past contributions, but also a testament to our expectations for your future."

"I understand." Fang Yu's eyes were filled with fighting spirit again. "I won't let you down."

"Okay!" Mr. Lu patted his shoulder. "Go back and have a good rest. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

Looking at Mr. Lu's receding back, Fang Yu took a deep breath.

He knew that from today on, the burden on his shoulders would be heavier.

But this weight is not pressure, but motivation.

For the revival of Longguo and the happiness of the people, he is willing to give everything.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Fang Yu's figure stood tall and firm.

The star on his shoulder shines brightly, as if foreshadowing a brighter future for Dragon Country...
