Chapter 598

At this moment.

Almost all the commanders were flushed with excitement, and the looks they cast at Song Qi were full of praise.

From the beginning, according to the Dragon Nation's original plan, the next period of time should have been days of defense, not giving the Free Nation, Sakura, and other countries any chance.

Only when the Dragon Nation's Type 004 carrier and Song Qi's new carrier were launched would it be time for a life-and-death battle with the Free Nation.

But now, with Song Qi alone, he had wiped out the naval fleets of Sakura and Kimchi, and even crushed the Free Nation's dual carrier battle group!

Now, he had even forced the Sakura Nation to surrender, pay reparations, and return the Ryukyu Islands!

All of this seemed so incredible!

Everyone knew that this was all Song Qi's credit alone!

If it weren't for Song Qi, the Dragon Nation would probably still be struggling in that awkward and passive situation from before.

How could they be so high-spirited now!

"Hahaha! Commander Lu, send the notice down: all naval soldiers who fought alongside Song Qi will receive an extra year's allowance and bonus! Award the team a First-Class Merit!"

"Also, our carrier needs to be decorated a bit; the surrender ceremony of the little Sakura Heavenly King, this scene must be remembered by history!"

"If it's too simple, it won't look very good!"

The Grand General's tone was extremely excited, no longer as steady as before.

Chen Guoan, who was on the side, hurriedly chimed in: "Grand General! I ran all the way from the Northwest Military Region, it wouldn't be right if there's no reward..."

"You kid!"

The Grand General smiled and patted Chen Guoan on the shoulder, joking: "You ran over here and didn't fire a single shot; the credit was all earned by Little Song, and you have the nerve to ask for benefits?"

"Hey... Little Song is also from our Northwest Military Region!"

"Alright, alright! The soldiers from the Northwest Military Region who participated in the battle will be awarded a Collective Second-Class Merit medal and a half-year allowance!"

Clearly, the Grand General was in a very good mood, much easier to talk to than usual.

"Grand General!"

Elder Wang, who was on the side, also had a smile on his face and said.

"Does this matter need to be told to the Grand Leader first? Let him be happy too?"

"Isn't that nonsense?"

The Grand General rolled his eyes at Elder Wang and said with annoyance: "If I don't tell him, who will give money to my army next year?"

"Contact the Grand Leader immediately and tell him this good news!"

"Also tell him that next year's military budget, I want at least an increase of 800 billion!"

As he spoke, the Grand General paused, as if realizing something, and hurriedly added.

"But regarding Sakura's surrender, except for the high-level officials, let's not let the news leak out yet."

"Confidentiality work still needs to be done well; it won't be too late to announce it to the world once the rice is cooked..."

Plans succeed through secrecy, and fail through leakage.

The Grand General certainly understood this principle.

Although the Sakura Nation now, to the Dragon Nation, is like a duck on a chopping board that can't fly away!

But being careful and cautious is always the right thing to do...

Looking at the scene of the commanders chatting enthusiastically in front of him, a gratified smile appeared on the corner of Song Qi's mouth.

At this very moment.

How could he not be extremely excited in his heart?

Sakura and the Dragon Nation are arch-enemies!

Song Qi, as a Dragon Nation person.

From an emotional perspective, Song Qi would even prefer all Sakura people to die and for Sakura Island to sink directly!

But reality is a collection of interests and gains and losses.

If Sakura Island sank and the Sakura Nation was directly destroyed, it would definitely not be a good thing for the current Dragon Nation!

If Sakura surrenders this time and the Dragon Nation can operate properly and use various forces to completely hollow out Sakura's regime and turn Sakura into their own dog!

Let the Sakura people work for the Dragon Nation people and become slaves to the Dragon Nation people!

Let the entire Sakura Island become a military base for the Dragon Nation to confront the Free Nation!

Wouldn't that be ten thousand times better for the Dragon Nation than simply sinking it?

In the world of adults.

Interests are always placed first!

Song Qi shook his head, suddenly feeling his head swell, and prepared to push the door out to get some air on the deck.

Just at this moment.

The Grand General's voice came quietly from behind Song Qi.

"Little Song?"

"Where are you going?"

"Reporting to the Commander... my head is a bit dizzy, I want to go outside to get some air..." Song Qi said truthfully.

The Grand General looked at Song Qi in front of him, his eyes full of kindness.

"How can your head be dizzy? You are now the treasure of our Dragon Nation! You must take good care of your health..."

"I suspect... it's because of the fighting you just did..."

Grand General: "(? _?)"

"Hahaha! Little Song, look at what you're saying..." The Grand General touched his nose, laughed it off, and changed the subject.

"By the way! Little Song, get yourself ready these two days; for the surrender ceremony in two days, you and Elder Sun will accompany me to attend."

"This moment is destined to go down in history; if you look sloppy, what would that look like?"

"Hmm... attending, if..."

"Eh?"

Song Qi's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief.

"No? Commander, you want me to attend the surrender ceremony?"

"This... this doesn't follow the rules..."

"How does it not follow the rules?"

"For such an important ceremony, a small fry like me, what virtue or ability do I have to show my face..."

"Commander Chen and Commander Lu have worked hard and made great contributions, and their ranks are already Grand Generals; no matter what, they are the two more qualified to participate!"

"I don't even have a military rank... this isn't very good!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Chen Guoan and Lu Debiao both laughed.

"So there are times when you think it's inappropriate!"

"I thought you were fearless!"

There was no displeasure on the faces of Chen Guoan and Lu Debiao; instead, the looks they cast at Song Qi were full of doting.

"Alright! Little Song! This is also the intention of Commander Chen and Commander Lu!"

"They didn't establish any merit in this war, and all the current results were fought by you alone, Little Song!"

"You participating in the surrender ceremony is well-deserved!"

The Grand General also explained with a smile.

"Our Dragon Nation's army doesn't care about seniority; those with merit come first!"

"Don't decline!"

Seeing that Song Qi still appeared a bit embarrassed, Elder Wang also chimed in to help.

"Alright Little Song! Our Dragon Nation also needs a role model like you!"

"Otherwise, the young people of our Dragon Nation will all go chasing after those sissy Korean stars and those bullshit little fresh meat stars in the Dragon Nation..."

"If this continues, it won't be good."

Hearing this, Song Qi was dazed for a moment; he, who had always been informal, now had eyes that were slightly red.

He was actually going to participate in the surrender ceremony!

What kind of glory is this?
