After traveling through time, I, as a mechanical genius, am dedicated to improving myself.

Chapter 626

Jiang Tianchen came to the stage and delivered an official statement, which was very concise, so Zeng Li did not get distracted.

I also made a brief summary, which roughly means that you are great, the country has you, and I am very relieved.

Chi Guoxiang presided over the ceremony and Zeng Li was responsible for awarding the titles. This was everyone's request and was also arranged.

But no one expected that everyone would give Zeng Li a surprise.

Zeng Li was about to raise her hand to applaud.

Jiang Tianchen showed no sign of leaving and continued, "The day before I arrived, I met with 48 members of the higher-level People's Representatives. We voted unanimously to make an exception and confer the rank of General on Comrade Zeng Li. Because of the impromptu decision, we didn't have time to prepare the uniform. Therefore, we have prepared a certificate of honor, epaulettes, and a badge of honor. Now, please invite Comrade Zeng Li to come up to the stage to receive this permanent honor."

Chi Guoxiang took these from Secretary Yan and handed them to Jiang Tianchen.

Zeng Li reacted and stepped forward.

Salute to the soldiers in the audience, salute to Jiang Tianchen, and finally to Chi Guoxiang.

"Comrade Zeng Li, compared to what you have given to the country, the country can't give you much. I hope you can lead China to become the best in the world. Together, we will advance and retreat together."

Jiang Tianchen said as he replaced Zeng Li's epaulettes.

Zeng Li saluted again.

He turned around and looked at the neatly arranged army, both soldiers and generals. He took a deep breath before speaking and teased himself: "Did you hear me take a deep breath? I'm very nervous."

"I wasn't told in advance, so I wasn't prepared at all. I don't know what to say now."

Zeng Li paused for a moment, just two seconds, and decided to say something inspiring, something that everyone would like to hear.

"I was once confused and wondered whether I should strive for the position of General Chi or the position of Jiang Tianchen's leader. I have never concealed my ambition, but because I am a woman, I have very few reference points. I need to find the answers to many questions on my own. Especially when I chose to switch to politics, I also asked myself: Will I regret it? Can I not forget my original intention? Can I really be a good official who works hard for the people? Can I become a role model for other women? Do I have the ability to truly make China a better place?"

“What I want to say is…”

"It's not necessarily the case that standing here in armor is the best. Every soldier has the talent of a general. We are all the same, from small soldiers to generals. I was once you, and your future can also be me."

"You protect the Xilang waters, and I protect the interests of the people. We each work hard in our respective areas."

"We all hope that our motherland will get better and better, and we ourselves will get better and better too."

“At the same time, we are also lucky.”

“Because we have a very good leader.”

"Even more fortunately... there will be more than one such leader. It could be my future self, or it could be you in the future."

"As we move forward, China will also move forward."

"Life is only 30,000 days long, let's do something big."

"Let China become the most powerful country, okay?"

Zeng Li's ambition clearly tells everyone that she wants Jiang Tianchen's position.

The audience shouted in unison, and the word "good" was deafening.

The waves next to the base seemed to be frightened, losing their original rhythm, and retreating in a panic, leaving behind strings of foam.

Next, Zeng Li awarded titles to everyone.

There was no perfunctoriness due to repetitive actions.

I still remember how I wanted to be promoted in rank.

They are now the same as they were then.

Chi Guoxiang was very satisfied with Zeng Li's performance.

These soldiers spend a lot of time in the vast sea or in training. Their days can be said to be boring and tedious. Today is a very special day for them. It is also a day that they will savor over and over again when they face countless difficult days in the future.

Jiang Tianchen didn't say much, but his firm attitude made it clear that he and Zeng Li were on the same front, and also indirectly told everyone that what Zeng Li did was what he agreed with and supported.
