Chapter 117 Gold, Silver, Copper and Iron

In the North City Cyberspace, tens of thousands of soldiers watched Chen Kefu, Li Benlei and General Li wear epaulettes on the shoulders of the three highest generals in the army. The two bright embellishments on the armor made countless soldiers below fascinated.

When can they hang up such epaulettes? Even if they dare not expect to hang up the rank of four-star generals with all gold, it would be good to dream occasionally, and it would be better to hang up the rank of sterling silver in their dreams.

Li Benlei and Li Jie, who were officially awarded the rank of military, stood behind Chen Kefu with different thoughts. Two soldiers in charge of the ceremonial guards walked down with empty trays. Six soldiers in the ceremonial guards who were also holding the squatting trays in their hands walked up with their chests. The man in charge of singing and drinking in the military band sang loudly, "Please give the rank of major generals to each division commander!"

As the first major generals to be awarded military rank, only six division commanders received this honor this time. Now the Liaodong Army has newly built. Except for the six division commanders, some senior positions such as the command headquarters should have not been awarded. Currently, only six division commanders can get the rank of major general. Now, Liu Tiezhu, the commander of the Fifth Division, and Hu Hai, the commander of the Third Division, have their own tasks and cannot attend today's award ceremony.

With a long tone, Mao Yi, the commander of the First Division, Lu Shishen, the commander of the Second Division, Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Division, and Chen Gui, the commander of the Sixth Division, all walked onto the parade with solemn expressions in their most beautiful and mighty armor.

"salute!"

The four of them clenched their fists with a silence, and hit hard on their left chest.

Chen Kefu also greeted the four of them, his eyes full of joy and excitement. These are his direct confidants, and he believes that after this reorganization, Mao Yi and his friends' prestige in the army will definitely increase a lot in the future.

The guards of honor stood behind Chen Kefu with trays. Li Benlei and Li Jie lifted the red silk on the tray, each of them picked up an epaulette, and held it in front of Chen Kefu. The division commanders who won the title of major general on the left and right gang were wearing it.

For generals, he personally awarded all the ranks of military ranks in front of the entire army, so as to demonstrate the supreme authority of the generals of the entire army, so that everyone knows that he is the one who is in charge of the entire Liaodong Army. When this army is formed, he will firmly implant this idea into the hearts of all soldiers.

The rank of major general is the rank of an officer at the level of a division, and the deputy division commander, chief of staff, brigade commander and other officers can only be awarded the rank of brigadier general according to the military rank regulations formulated by Chen Ke. Moreover, Chen Kefu is also linked to the rank of general. Basically, senior military positions are one position and one title, and only officers with the rank of this level can hold positions at this level. If a deputy division commander wants to be a division commander, unless he is promoted to the rank of major general first, he is not qualified to be a division commander. Similarly, a general with the rank of major general cannot serve as a deputy division commander. In this way, the order of positions at all levels and officers is very clear, and the interests of old officers in the army are well protected.

"Please respectfully invite the General to be awarded the title of brigade general! Salute!"

There are many officers with the rank of brigade general, and all the officers of the deputy division commander and the brigade level of the brigade general are awarded the brigade general. There are six divisions of the Liaodong Army, two brigades, each division has a deputy division commander and a chief of staff. There are twelve senior officers who have obtained the rank of brigade general this time, and the brigade commanders of the two brigades are Chen Kefu and Li Benlei. These people can be said to include the fifth and fifth ranks of the original army. After this new vacancy in Yingyang Mansion, Chen Kefu basically changed these people to fifth ranks of official positions, except for Li Jie's people.

As soon as the military band played music, except for four officers who were unable to attend, eight newly released brigade generals walked up to the front stage happily.

The twelve people who won the rank of brigadier general this time were Chen Feng, Chen Guang, Chen Qing, Chen Lin, Chen Huo, Liu Wei, Zhang Biao, Wang Bin, Chen Fu, He Dayong, Sixth Division, Chen Shan, Cui Shi. Apart from Chen Huo, Liu Wei, Chen Fu, and He Dayong, the other eight people also walked onto the parade with agile steps.

Today's rank awarding ceremony was so grand that these generals in the army felt very honored. As generals, who would lead tens of thousands of people, would not want to get such an opportunity to win honor before tens of thousands of people?

The rank of brigade general in sterling silver was worn by Chen Kefu one by one. Everyone felt that they liked the two small silver medals. They turned their heads to look at each other, fearing that others would not know that they had obtained the rank of brigade general.

For these eight people, after the military rank system was released, the brigade general meant a general, and the brigade general could no longer be called a general, but was just a school official. This made them feel proud. Among the nearly 100,000 troops, they were the only ten people who could be called generals. Since Chen Kehui, the entire army has only one general, two lieutenant generals, four major generals, and twelve brigade generals, only nineteen generals, and they are one of them.

"Please ask the general to award the rank of colonel-level officer!"

The commander, deputy brigade commander, brigade chief of staff and other officers are all colonels. The fourth regiment of the first division of the Liaodong Army has twenty-four regiments in six divisions. In addition, the command has two brigades and four regiments, and a light cavalry regiment. Yesterday, a new headquarters reconnaissance regiment was built. There are thirty regiments in the entire army, but the positions of deputy brigade commander and brigade chief of staff are vacant. This time, only thirty regiment commanders were awarded the rank of colonel.

The ranks of school-level officers are different from those of generals. The ranks of school-level officers are brass seals, and the stars and bars on the rank logo are sterling silver. You can tell from the appearance that they are school officials and have clear ranks.

The rank of the colonel officer was also personally awarded by Chen Kefu. Relatively speaking, a regiment can lead two thousand men, which is more soldiers than the past General Yingyanglang. Although these people no longer belong to the general sequence in the new military rank system, they are actually senior generals in the army. Even today's Liaodong Army is basically based on battalions, and these battalion commanders are the real commanders.

The two brothers Li Shimin and Li Xuanba are now both regiment commanders of the Liaodong Army's heavy infantry brigade. If Chen Kefu had not thought that Li Shimin was too young and his brother-in-law, and had not made any contributions, he would have directly asked him to be the brigade commander of the heavy infantry brigade. But it would be better now. Let him be the regiment commander first. If he made contributions in the future, he would be convinced. After all, the heavy infantry brigade did not have to be the brigade commander, but Li Benlei was also in charge.

After helping Li Shimin to gain military rank, Chen Kefu patted his shoulder and said, "Boy, do it well, it's not embarrassing me, otherwise, even if you are my brother-in-law, I will pick your rank with my own hands."

Li Shimin shrank his shoulders slightly and said unconvincedly, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will bring you an elite soldier like the heavy cavalry of the Pou Military Camp. Just wait and see."

Chen Kefu smiled, "Okay, if you really have that ability, I will personally change you to the rank of brigadier general in the silver one-star then."

After giving the ranks to the general and the colonel, Chen Kefu was also a little tired. There were many officers who received the rank of lieutenant colonel, including 120 battalion commanders, and the 60 deputy regiment-level officers. Even the main officers of the four departments of the newly established command of Chen Kefu were also lieutenant colonel. For these people, Chen Kefu directly asked Li Benlei, Li Jie, four division commanders and eight brigade generals to be responsible for awarding the ranks.

The deputy regiment commanders, chief of staff and battalion commanders who were excited to come to the stage were a little disappointed when they saw that the general no longer gave him ranks himself. After all, what a glorious thing it would be if they could get the general's ranks personally.

Among the team of the First Division in the school ground, Cui Erzhu, the platoon leader of the third company and the second platoon of the first battalion, looked at the batches of officers on the stage who were like a lantern, and looked at the deputy platoon leader Zhang Youcai on the side, saying, "When I become the battalion commander, I will definitely be so glorious. I thought that everyone's ranks are personally awarded by the general today, why are they now given to other generals? Then we go up, will the general not give us ranks?"

Deputy platoon leader Zhang Youcai thought for a while, "There are already hundreds of officers with the rank of colonels, and there are majors, captains, and lieutenants below. The number of people is estimated to be several thousand. By the time you and my second lieutenant and warrant officer, you probably won't come to the stage. Otherwise, you can't stand."

In fact, it was similar to Cui Erzhu and the others. There were more than a hundred officers at the lieutenant-colon-level, and there were even hundreds of officers at the major level. This was the result of two divisions being absent. After the ranks of all the school-level officers, the more than ten generals were also exhausted. From the initial excitement to the end, they were a little helpless.

After the school-level military rank was awarded, Chen Kefu had to stop asking the generals to award ranks to the lieutenant-level officers, and simply asked the colonel to award ranks to the captain, the lieutenant-level lieutenant, and the major to award ranks to the second lieutenant and warrant officer.

There are too many officers at the rank of lieutenant, and it is impossible for them to be all inlaid with gold and silver. The rank epaulettes of all officers at the lieutenant level are directly made of brass.

After spending a long time to award the rank, Chen Kefu asked all the lieutenant-level officers to help the non-commissioned officers, and the non-commissioned officers would then help the privates and the top-class officers to award the ranks. Most of them were no longer awarded the ranks in a team. They changed the ranks directly to the soldiers who were arranged in the ranks.

The rank of lieutenant is made of brass, while the non-commissioned officer is just an iron eaves sealed with brass to make the non-commissioned officer. As for the soldier's eaves seal, they are made directly from iron sheets. The number is huge, and using iron is economical and affordable.
