Chapter 18 Honors and Steve's Spring
Two days later, Li Yang put on the military uniform that he had never worn except the day it was issued.
With Li Yang's good looks and this military uniform, the rate of turning heads is absolutely [-]% when walking on the street.
Stepping on the uncomfortable leather shoes, Li Yang went downstairs.
Go out the gate and unlock your own car parked on the street.
After starting the car, Li Yang drove to Steve's house first.
He wanted to pick up Steve and Bucky, two 'poor ghosts' who didn't have a car, and then rushed to the venue to attend the award ceremony.
However, presumably with the credit this time, the three of them can be promoted to several levels, and their salaries and benefits will also increase a lot.
After all, as long as you have enough military merit in wartime, promotion is relatively easy.
After a while, Li Yang arrived at Steve's house in Brooklyn.
Steve and Bucky walked out of the house without Li Yang getting out of the car to call.
They must have been ready early, looking out the window, waiting for Li Yang to pick them up.
After getting into the car, Li Yang could clearly feel the tension between the two of them.
Their collars and sleeves have been trimmed many times.
"Steve, Bucky, don't be too nervous, just relax."
"Li, can you not be nervous?
This time, President Roosevelt personally came from Washington to preside over the ceremony for us. "
After hearing this, Li Yang really couldn't find any reason to refute.
He wasn't nervous because he knew what the real purpose of President Roosevelt's visit to New York was, and giving them honors was just a way.
President Roosevelt's visit this time is actually for Valkyrie explosives and missile technology.
These two technologies were reported by Colonel Phillips to the high-level and then sent back to the R&D Department of the Strategic Science Corps for research. In fact, they were handed over to Howard Stark, a genius scientist who is famous all over the United States.
After Howard did some research, he reported the potential of the two technologies to the top allied forces. He believed that they had the ability to quickly end the war.
President Roosevelt attached great importance to this, so he came to inspect it and awarded a medal or something along the way.
At the same time, for the sake of publicity, the promotion orders of Li Yang and the other three will also be announced by Mr. President during this ceremony.
The entire honoring ceremony will be recorded, and a large number of copies will be sent to major cities in the United States and even to various alliance members.
Use the legendary deeds of the three to boost the public's confidence in the victory of the war.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Li Yang glanced at Steve and Bucky who were tidying each other's clothes from the rearview mirror, and lightly reminded Steve.
"Steve, don't forget what's really important today."
It's okay if Li Yang doesn't say anything, but he gets even more nervous when he talks about Steve.
On the contrary, Bucky remembered the big things Steve was going to do today, and compared himself with him, he immediately became less nervous, and comforted Steve on the side.
When driving on the main road, Li Yang stopped looking at the two people behind him and started to concentrate on driving.
The road before the venue has been closed.
The three of them got out of the car and took out their invitation cards, and the reception staff led them to a special shuttle bus.
The security near the president is relatively good, and the vehicles of the participants are not allowed to enter to avoid bombs or something.
Walking into the venue, because they were the protagonists of the ceremony, the three of them were arranged to sit in the middle of the first row.
One after another, the seats around the three of them were also filled with people. The various 'decorations' on these people's military uniforms were almost blinding.
Surrounded by so many senior generals, the three of them felt uncomfortable, but hoped that Mr. President would come over soon.
It didn't take long, and one minute before the ceremony, Mr. President came to the front of the stage just in time.
After he stood still on the stage and the reporters below pointed their guns and short cannons at the award platform, the ceremony officially began.
"Gentlemen and ladies.
Citizens of the United States of America.
I'm here..."
On the stage, President Roosevelt began his speech.
Because this ceremony was to be recorded for publicity purposes, in order to allow people to see it, the speech was concise and clear, straight to the point, and the speech was finished in just 3 minutes, and then we entered the main topic of this time.
"In this battle, one unit played an important role.
There is no need for me to say more about the deeds of this army. Any newspaper in the country has carried out detailed reports.
What I want to say today is that there are three people who played a prominent role in this army. They are behind the enemy lines... (some stories)
On behalf of the United States, I thank them for their tremendous service.
Now, allow me to honor you all.
Colonel Li Yang, Captain Steve Rogers, Lieutenant Bucky Barnes, please come on stage. "
Amid applause, the three stepped onto the podium.
The three stood opposite President Roosevelt.
Mr. President said solemnly: "In order to thank you for your outstanding contributions, I will award you the National Medal of Honor (the author's name)."
The three shook hands with the president in turn, and the president personally pinned the medal to the military uniform.
The flashing lights of the reporters below kept on, and this scene will become a precious historical memory that will be passed down for a long time.
After the medals were issued, the promotion of the three military ranks was announced.
Li Yang became a lieutenant general, and Steve and Bucky were both colonels.
After that, it was time for the three to release their testimonials.
Li Yang's and Bucky's words were very ordinary, nothing more than words about destroying NPCs, ending the war, and ushering in peace.
When Steve appeared at the finale, the atmosphere on the scene seemed to be a little different. Everyone could see that he was going to do something big!
Steve stepped up to the microphone and began his speech.
The first half is nothing special, similar to Li Yang and Bucky.
But in the second half...
"Actually, there was a lady at the scene."
As soon as he finished this sentence, the scene immediately boiled.
Isn't this the part that everyone loves to see?
Especially those reporters, the flashes kept flashing.
"The first time I saw her, I fell for it.
She is so beautiful, so attractive.
After that, I tried my best to get closer to her.
The longer I spend with her, the more I can't live without her.
My friend told me to express my love as soon as possible, but I couldn't do it, so I kept procrastinating. "
Steve spoke more and more smoothly, and gradually he didn't need to read the speeches written by Li Yang.
"This delay is half a year.
Half a year of fighting has made me grow a lot and think a lot.
After I came back, I knew I couldn't wait any longer, otherwise if I missed it, it would really be gone.
So, Ms. Peggy Carter, will you marry me? "
After Steve finished speaking, not only the other people at the scene, but even Li Yang, who planned the incident, were stunned.
What they planned was a confession, so why did they propose marriage directly!
However, looking at Carter who was covering his face and weeping with joy, they knew that Steve made the right move in this step.
His spring has come.
(Note: Unless the relationship between the two is almost confirmed, book friends should not confess like this, it is easy for both of them to get off the stage.)
(ps: Thanks to the book friend Chihuangxuanzhang for the reward and monthly ticket, this is the first time this book has received a reward and monthly ticket, it is worth commemorating)
