January 3, 2015. Northern Base.

The South Executive Institute and the North Research Institute are located on the north and south sides of the entire base, and in the middle is a large living area. At this time, the Execution Institute building complex, in a seven-story building in the northwest, gathered nearly half of the executive officers of the entire base.

But in fact, the number of these "more than half" people is really not large - just twenty or thirty people.

Some people have tasks, while some people have to maintain the normal operation of base security work, and they cannot attend this grand occasion.

Receiving honors and awarding rank ceremony.

In fact, this was originally beyond the expectations of most people. According to the tradition of the empire, officers below the school will not hold rank awards in principle. Even officials will not enjoy such treatment unless they make special contributions.

However, the reason why this precedent is set is that today's protagonist has received a Purple Star Medal.

It was a military medal issued by the royal family, which highly affirmed the great contribution made by a soldier. In fact, since the first Purple Star Medal was awarded to a major in 1953, this was only the sixty-fourth time such medal was awarded in the imperial military system.

Therefore, the executives currently in the lobby on the first floor of the Security Bureau headquarters were more or less envious. But it was just pure envy - after all, what that person did was something that no one here could imagine.

Ying Jue Ran was in the fifth seat in the third row, with his waist straight and his eyes staring at the old man in his fifties on the rostrum.

The man had a long hair and was thin. He was publishing a long speech, and he would stop from time to time and breathe a few times. Obviously, his physical condition was no longer optimistic.

This is the nominal second-person figure in the Northern Base, the president of the South Executive Institute, Empire Huaienbo and Tong Xizheng.

But it was not him who should be determined to pay attention to - this dean had been inquiring about the affairs of the hospital a long time ago due to physical reasons. Instead, he handed over the decision to Dai Bingcheng most of the time.

What he cared about was that the deputy director in charge of the Northern Base was not present.

The lieutenant was awarded the title, of course there was no reason to alarm the senior officials at the deputy ministerial level. However, today's drama was awarded the Purple Star Medal. The royal envoys stood by Dean Tong, but the vice president was "absent due to illness"... This is of great significance.

Suddenly someone beside him hit his arm. He turned his head and found that he was a very familiar colleague: "Hey, Xiaoying, you have a good news. Tell us what's going on today?"

Not only this colleague, but also a few people nearby were looking at him, as if they wanted to find out some inside information from him.

He thought about it and felt that it would be okay to say it. Anyway, everyone will know about it soon.

Therefore, he shortened his body slightly and whispered: "It is said that at the cabinet meeting not long ago, Zhang's cabinet of the Ministry of National Defense had a fight with the Chief Minister - because of the Pingyang incident. The Prime Minister also expressed his opinion, saying that the Secretariat Office had 'improper handling'. So, I think our Deputy Chief Minister this time..."

"Ah..." Several colleagues nodded meaningfully.

A man whispered, "Well... the dean is promoted?"

Ying resolutely glanced at the old man and smiled: "It's hard to say."

However, after he revealed some internal news, most people knew it. Even if the vice president was about to leave, the old man on the stage probably wouldn't be able to go further.

"So it's going to be airborne?" the colleague continued, "Then our director..."

Ying Jueran put away his smile, looked at Dai Bingcheng, who was standing behind the old man's expressionlessness, and shook his head: "We'd better not tell us about the director's affairs. Let him hear it, be careful-"

He grinned, everyone understood it, and they smiled and stopped talking.

However, Ying Jue Ran knew more - Dai Bingcheng seemed to have visited Liu Yang Bo a few days ago. Liu Yang met his father again. After that night, Li Zhen received the honor and the title was decided.

He acted as unconscious about this matter as usual, but it did not mean that he was not clear about it.

It seems that the thought that suddenly jumped into my mind a few night ago was correct. Li Zhen was really lucky. He caught up with him when he was so sensitive and got a big advantage.

Second lieutenant? Haha... I can't beat him.

After all... Director Dai entered the Secret Service Office as a second lieutenant, and became a lieutenant in less than half a year.

At this time, the dean's speech was coming to an end. He paused, raised his voice, and finally said: "...I decided to grant the rank of Li Zhen, a citizen of the Chinese Empire, the Special Affairs Office, and the rank of lieutenant."

A slight breathing sound came from the audience.

Then the dean walked aside and nodded slightly to the royal envoy. So the envoy dressed in a retro lilac dress walked to the front of the stage, looked up at the people present, and then continued in a solemn and solemn tone: "In addition, with the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, the Office of Special Affairs, and the Ministry of National Defense, Lieutenant Lie Zhen was awarded a Purple Star Medal on January 3, 1918," said Chang Geng.

Unlike his colleagues' surprise, Ying Resolutely nodded slightly.

As expected...

Director Dai wants to go further.

At the beginning, he was thinking that Li Zhen might have to take one of the lieutenant ranks and the Purple Star Medal. After all, his age is there.

However, today it became real.

Director Dai and his father must have put in a lot of effort. Director Dai is a civilian. He was recognized as a "star of tomorrow" in the secret service system like Li Zhen. However, when he reached the rank of major and the Director of the Security Bureau, if he wanted to move up, he seemed to be blocked by an invisible layer of glass plates.

Until I entered this system because of some ideas.

Director Dai's ability is obvious to all. The reason why it has not been further in seven years is actually because of some unspoken rules of this empire.

Constitutional...

The constitution has been established for hundreds of years. However, this seemingly vibrant system is hidden underneath a pool of gradually corrupt stagnant water. The background and strength of a century-old aristocratic family is mixed, and it cannot be completely disintegrated by constitutional ones. The imperial power on the dragon throne was indeed taken off - but it was divided up by the noble family and turned into the "imperial power" of a certain group.

The group has been conservative and stubborn for hundreds of years, carefully identifying the "talents" from the civilians - either absorbing them as fresh blood, or putting an invisible partition on top of their heads.

Director Dai wants to break through the partition.

That's why today's scene is happening-

The same "Star of Tomorrow" - this is simply a replica of Director Dai when he was young.

Since such a star of tomorrow can be promoted exceptionally...
