Chapter 149 Award Ceremony

Gao Yuan learned a few things, actually, just how to march, how to salute, and what he should say when he was receiving the medal.

Truth be told, there was no need to say anything at all.

This wasn't a film festival award ceremony where one has to make an acceptance speech after receiving the award.

When soldiers are awarded medals, they simply go up, salute, and at most say two or three sentences to wrap it up.

What fancy flourishes could there be in the military? Honor itself is the most important; any empty or flowery words are pointless.

"Comrades, fellow citizens, today I must announce a tragic piece of news; both of our Stonegate Shelters fell victim to the aliens' attack, with no survivors. Today we mourn with heavy hearts for the people of Stonegate Temporary First Shelter and Stonegate Temporary Second Shelter who have perished, as well as for the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives."

"I declare a three-minute silence for the fallen soldiers and civilians."
