Mercenary’s War Chapter 1097 - 1097 One Thousand and Eighty General

1097: Chapter One Thousand and Eighty: General 1097: Chapter One Thousand and Eighty: General Preparation simply ant a change of clothes.

By the ti Gao Yang returned to the airport, his orderly was already waiting for him.

Hasan looked even more excited than Gao Yang.

As soon as Gao Yang entered the office, Hasan rushed up to him with a trembling voice, and after saluting Gao Yang, he exclaid, “General, you’re back.

Your dress uniform is prepared.

Please put it on.”

Another promotion.

Gao Yang smiled at Hasan and said, “General?”

Pointing to a stack of clothes on the desk, Hasan excitedly said, “Yes, General!

The celebration and the confernt ceremony will take place at eleven o’clock.

You will be formally granted the rank of Brigadier General.

Your general’s dress uniform has just arrived, please try it on.”

Gao Yang sat down in the chair, touched the neatly folded dress uniform, then reached out to pick up the dress cap placed on top of it.

Though it was an honorary rank and not for active service, the title of General still made Gao Yang quite emotional.

Unwittingly, I’ve beco a General, huh.

A rcenary being granted the rank of Brigadier General in a country, although Gao Yang anticipated such a possibility, the feeling still seed surreal.

The rank of General in Syria actually carries value, not like those militia groups that have only a few thousand in their entire military force yet have several generals, even managing to produce a Field Marshal out of nowhere.

At least, the Syrian army is made up of more than two hundred thousand troops, and it is not that easy to beco a Brigadier General.

Wolfgang commands a few thousand n, and they are so of Israel’s most elite special forces.

Even his unit’s organization probably outranks an airborne division’s, and yet Wolfgang is just a Brigadier General.

As for Gao Yang, he only has a real command over nine people.

Even if all the people he directed were counted, it wouldn’t reach two hundred, and still, he’s being appointed as a Brigadier General.

One can only conclude that honorary ranks aren’t worth much.

However, whether it’s an honorary rank or not, as long as it’s in Syria, everyone with a lower rank must salute him.

If, just if, Gao Yang were to represent Syria and et with Wolfgang, the two would be equals and would salute each other.

Of course, Gao Yang would not represent Syria, so if he t Wolfgang, he would still salute him with all due formality.

The dress uniform was a light khaki color which Gao Yang didn’t find particularly appealing, but upon seeing the stars on the shoulder boards, he couldn’t help but be dazed.

He had never been a soldier officially, and yet he had beco a General; the world is a miraculous place.

“General, heh, General.”

After chuckling to himself, Gao Yang couldn’t help but think of those who had died.

The saying ‘for one general’s rise, thousands of bones are crushed’ is true.

This rank of General was earned with the blood paid by many others.

Gao Yang originally didn’t have much interest in military ranks, but now his perspective had changed sowhat; even if it was an honorary rank, he and his brothers had fought hard and seriously earned it.

As a rcenary General, the achievents he had obtained were unparalleled in the whole of Syria.

He deserved this rank of Brigadier General.

“General, would you like to change now?

I shall take the dress uniform to your bedroom; there is not much ti left.”

The President’s decision to personally attend the celebration and the confernt ceremony at the airport was made at the last minute, so there wasn’t a lot of ti to prepare.

Hasan couldn’t help but remind Gao Yang of this.

Gao Yang was usually not very formal, so when Hasan urged him, he took the dress cap with one hand and picked up the clothes from the table with the other, smiling, “I can manage by myself.”

Back in his bedroom, Gao Yang put on the brand-new dress uniform from inside out, stood in front of a very small mirror to check his appearance, and couldn’t help but salute himself in the mirror.

Although the color of the uniform was unattractive and the style was sowhat hideous, it still looked quite nice on the body.

After self-admiringly giving himself that appraisent, Gao Yang walked out of the bedroom and asked Hasan, “How does it look?”

Hasan nodded vigorously, exclaiming loudly, “Very good, very, very good!

Don’t move.”

Hasan walked around Gao Yang, then carefully adjusted Gao Yang’s cap to center it before standing back in front of him again, and with an admiring expression said, “You look exactly like a General should look, but I’ve never seen a General as young as you.”

Gao Yang snickered and said, “Save it, there are people my age who are already Marshals.

Anyway, let’s not talk about that.

Let’s go out; we’re on a tight schedule, let’s see if the others are ready.”

On the open space in front of the airport command building, many people were anxiously arranging chairs, while most soldiers involved in combat were busy changing into new dress uniforms.

Since it was both a celebration and a confernt ceremony, it was certainly necessary to dress up.

Gao Yang stepped out of the office just as Dani also ca out.

When Dani saw Gao Yang, he extended his hand and saluted, saying seriously, “General, hello.”

Gao Yang returned the salute and said just as seriously, “Hello, Lieutenant Colonel.”

After exchanging salutes, both of them burst into hearty laughter.

Gao Yang patted Dani on the shoulder, laughing and saying, “Not bad, already a Lieutenant Colonel!”

Dani’s rank as a Lieutenant Colonel was unlike ordinary ones; the Military Intelligence Directorate is a critical departnt, and even the head of the Directorate is only a Colonel.

It was a typical case of a low rank but significant authority, making Dani’s rank as a Lieutenant Colonel quite valuable.

While the two were talking, Farouk walked out looking a little uneasy, involuntarily touching his own shoulder insignia.

After seeing Gao Yang and Dani, he smiled sheepishly and gave each of them a military salute.

Even if Gao Yang were promoted to General, there would be no tangible benefits, especially after leaving Syria, it would be utterly useless.

However, it was different for Dani and Farouk; they were within the Syrian military structure, where each promotion was difficult.

Yet, by following Gao Yang and consistently delivering impressive performance reviews, their ranks were also promoted alongside Gao Yang’s honorary rank.

In a way, Gao Yang was like a Robin Hood.

Satan’s n also began to co out, and Gao Yang smiled at the two and said, “Sorry, excuse for a mont.”

Gao Yang walked up to Glolov, who was wearing a khaki dress uniform, albeit a slightly darker shade.

To Gao Yang’s surprise, Glolov had also been bestowed the rank of Colonel.

Initially, the Syrians only gave an honorary rank to Gao Yang alone, but this ti, for so reason, they were especially generous.

Not only did they award the rank of Colonel to Glolov, the deputy battalion commander, but everyone got a rank, though aside from Gao Yang and Glolov, everyone else was a Second Lieutenant.

After walking in front of the people, Frey quickly stood at attention and then said solemnly, “General!”

Eileen’s honorary rank was Second Lieutenant, but she was dressed in n’s clothing.

In Syria, won were not allowed to serve in the military, let alone be female officers, so Eileen had no choice but to wear a set of n’s military uniform.

Eileen twisted her body uncomfortably before saying unhappily, “I’m very pleased to receive the rank of Second Lieutenant, but is it too much to ask for a uniform that fits?

This outfit is so ugly!”

Taylor also ca out.

With his tall fra, the military uniform seed a little small on him.

After adjusting his clothes with his hands, he smiled and said, “I served in the U.S.

Army for many years and was only a Sergeant Major.

I never expected that in just a few days here, I would also beco a Second Lieutenant.”

Taylor’s identity was special; in fact, even now, he was not a rcenary.

His true identity should be that of an Avenger.

Gao Yang smiled at Taylor and said, “Perhaps in the future we shouldn’t call you Postman, but rather Mr.

Second Lieutenant.”

Taylor spread his hands toward Gao Yang and said, “Then we should be addressing you as ‘Your Excellency the General’ from now on.”

Everyone laughed loudly, and at that mont, Gao Yang spoke to Taylor in a serious tone, “Buddy, Syria is a thorn in Arica’s side, I thought you would refuse the honorary rank and reject wearing this uniform.”

Taylor nodded and said, “At first, I did have so reservations, but that quickly passed.

Politics is dirty, and so are politicians.

With my current status, I really don’t have to think too much.

Besides, I’ve fought side by side with n in the sa uniform, so wearing this uniform now doesn’t an anything to .”

Cui Bo patted the clothes on his body and said loudly, “Guys, I’ve decided, I’m going to keep this uniform!”

While everyone was laughing and joking, Dani suddenly said, “Guys, we should fall in now, the President’s helicopter is about to arrive!”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said loudly, “Let’s go, let’s welco the President.”

All the important people at the airport had gathered at the helicopter pad.

It was a big deal for the President to co personally, and it was sure to be as grand as possible.

Gao Yang thought he had seen big events before, but the thought of eting a world-renowned figure, who he had only seen on television and heard about in the news, made him feel a little excited.

The welcoming line would surely be arranged according to the rank order, and to Gao Yang’s astonishnt, he found that his rank was the highest among all present.

This ant that as long as the Syrians still recognized his honorary rank, Gao Yang would be the one to shake hands with Assad first on behalf of everyone.

This was awkward.

The airport’s highest commander was just a Colonel.

Gao Yang thought that this ti, ranks were being given out to everyone, but unfortunately, this wasn’t the case.

The Syrian Air Force wasn’t strong, and if the Air Force officers were also to be promoted abruptly, the extra Major General’s position might cause a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Colonel Kuteli, the highest commander at the airport, did not receive a promotion like Gao Yang and Dani.

Colonel Kuteli did not seem at all disappointed; on the contrary, he appeared quite happy.

After all, despite not being promoted imdiately, he had made a significant contribution.

Unlike the rcenary’s honorary rank, he was an officer in the Air Force.

Going from Colonel to General was an insurmountable leap, and now, it was only a matter of ti before he secured his promotion.

Colonel Kuteli did not show any dissatisfaction; instead, after standing next to Gao Yang, Kuteli gave a crisp salute and smiled, “Hello, General.” (To be continued.
