Chapter 695: Level 3 Golden Owl Medal
The meeting began and Okamura took the stage to speak.
Unlike his usual gloomy style, his speaking style sounded quite tough and serious.
He immediately stressed the importance of continuing to maintain law and order throughout North China, and then asked everyone present to shift the focus of their work to the law and order battle.
His tone was so grim that many traitors present were frightened.
If Terauchi and the idiot Madoka are at the demon level, then Okamura is the devil king.
Someone whispered, "This is going to be a tough time. Look at his tone. It's different from the way the two generals used to act. Generally speaking, General Terauchi and General Shanshanyuan are very tolerant of us. But looking at this guy's behavior, if something goes wrong in the future, I'm afraid he'll lose his head."
"Who says it's not true? I think Lin Shengmin, the popular figure in the headquarters, can't get by now. Didn't you hear what Okamura said? He doesn't care about background or relationships. Everything is based on contribution to the security war. Whoever contributes more will be promoted, and whoever contributes less will step down. Whoever is detrimental to the security war will be held responsible. Lin Shengmin relied on his good relationship with the higher-ups to rise step by step. Think about it carefully. Apart from catching a few spies, what contribution has he made to the security war?"
"But what did General Okamura mean by stopping to say something to him just now?"
"Oh, it's just to keep him stable. Lin Shengmin has many followers, how can we get rid of them just like that?"
While people were discussing below, Okamura on the stage suddenly changed the subject.
"Although I have only been in North China for a short time, there is a person I have heard of for a long time. This time, when I met him, I found that he is indeed as famous as the rumors say. This person is Major Lin. Major Lin is loyal to the empire, the imperial army, and the headquarters, and has made many meritorious contributions. After arriving in Tianjin, he not only did not indulge in pleasure like many people, but was as diligent as ever. During this internal review, he creatively proposed many effective practices."
Everybody was quiet.
What does it mean?
Even if you want to stabilize Lin Ze, you don't have to be so corny, right?
The key is that it sounds... so sincere!
General Okamura's tone became gentle!
None of them expected that this was just an appetizer, and Okamura's next speech would be explosive!
"In view of Major Lin's outstanding contributions to the cause of the empire and his unremitting efforts in various affairs of the North China Front Army, I have specially issued an order to award Major Lin a third-class Golden Kite Medal of Merit!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Even Matsuzaki, Kitahara and others couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
What the hell!
This is a third-level medal of merit!
The Japanese had a very simple system of awarding medals. No matter what kind of soldier you were or what contributions you had made, as long as you were awarded a medal, you would basically get the Golden Kestrel Medal.
There are seven levels of medals. Level seven and level six are easy to obtain. It is said that millions of medals have been issued, and their value is very average.
Lin Ze and Gao Shengping had previously won the sixth-level medal, which was already very good.
The five-level medals above that can basically only be obtained by lieutenants. Even Lao Gao is not eligible. Giving him a sixth-level medal is already an exception.
As for the fourth level, basically only junior officers can obtain it.
Lin Ze is now a major, which means that he has obtained a fourth-level medal, which is already a great honor from his superiors.
But this guy Okamura actually gave him a third-level medal!
According to the regulations of the headquarters, the third-class Golden Kite Medal should be awarded to generals for their initial meritorious service. This has two restrictions: one is that you must be a general, and the other is that it is the initial meritorious service, which means that this is the first time you have been awarded for a certain achievement.
Although the headquarters also said that some major officers or lieutenants with great merit could also receive the Order of Merit, the rules were just rules, and I have not heard of any major officer having received this.
Lin Ze sighed, damn it, Okamura has misled me. After this, I’m not sure if I can clear myself of the charges in the end!
Who would believe that he could be a spy to this extent?
Matsuzaki and Kitahara were a little envious and jealous, and then they were ecstatic!
This is a good thing!
Okamura is a moody guy, and the people who are most threatened are the old subordinates of Terauchi Hisaichi and Sugiyama Madoka.
The more Okamura values Lin Sang, the more stable their position will be.
The reason why Okamura awarded Lin Ze the medal so grandly was because Lin Ze saved his life.
That's a life-saving grace!
It's stable, it's stable now!
After realizing this, Matsuzaki took off his gloves and led the applause.
Once the spy chief clapped, no one dared not to applaud.
For a moment, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium!
Okamura added: "Please let Major Lin speak to everyone!"
Lin Ze had no choice but to go up to the stage ahead of the crowd and salute Okamura first.
"Everyone, today, the General has so solemnly awarded me the medal. Lin Ze is extremely grateful and terrified. To be honest, my contribution is insignificant, or in other words, I just did what everyone who is loyal to the empire would do!
This medal not only belongs to me, but also to everyone who has worked hard to contribute to the public security in North China!
Director Gao of the Beijing Police Department led by example, charging to the front line of maintaining Beijing's public security, setting an example for us all."
When Lao Gao heard this, he was like, shit, these people are so particular!
"Captain Jiao of the detective team has turned from the dark side to the light side, and has done his utmost to be loyal, and has captured many rebels who were trying to undermine our good situation.
The outstanding businessman, Shopkeeper Duan, donated money and materials, truly sacrificed his own interests for the greater good, and wholeheartedly supported the construction of common prosperity in East Asia.
There are also the assistants and joint defense officers who never complained about the hardship and difficulties and continued to work hard despite the lack of pay and equipment. They are all the owners of this medal! "
When Okamura heard this, he was surprised to find that the coordination bureau and the joint defense team were in such a difficult situation!
He had long heard that these two departments had made great contributions to public security, but he didn't expect that they couldn't even pay their salaries!
It’s simply Baga!
The empire's military expenditure costs billions every year. Are they still short of this little money? Allocate funds, and continue to allocate funds!
President Wang was eager to try below.
Mention me, mention me!
Why hasn’t Shengmin mentioned me yet!
“Of course, during our efforts, there were some people who secretly tripped us up, played tricks, and were dishonest. I won’t go into details here.
In short, I hope we can do well under General Okamura’s…”
President Wang was stunned. Who is this talking about?
Suddenly, there was a "click, click, click" sound from the side. President Wang turned his head and saw that his secretary was shivering and his upper and lower teeth were chattering.
President Wang frowned and said, "I say, why are you trembling?"
"Master... I'm not wearing enough, it's... a bit cold!"
President Wang looked at the secretary's long-sleeved uniform and felt the temperature of the scene.
How come this little secretary is even weaker than me?
It's summer now, and it's still cold?
The secretary closed his eyes in pain.
It's over, it's all fucking over!
………………
ps. I will go out for a walk tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The updates may be unstable, please forgive me. I haven't been out for a long time, so I'm going to relax.
