Chapter 1215: The Name of the Star Realm Army!
For the World Government, the Great Migration from the Falmart World, while grand and astonishing in scale, was actually not as significant in terms of importance as the work of absorbing the Nuclear World.
The complete and mature industrial system of the Modern World thrilled the officials in the relevant departments of the World Government.
Fortunately, on January 1st, representatives from the nations of the Nuclear World were already at the United Nations Headquarters. They formally submitted their surrender document and membership application to World Government Air Force Headquarters Admiral 'Golden Lion' Shiki, Minister of Foreign Affairs Molotov Cooktail, and Chairman of the Otherworld Strategy Committee Fernandez.
This meant that the World Government had gained another world under its banner.
Next, both sides officially entered the integration phase. The first priority was not technical integration or dealing with resistance forces, but the reform of law and currency.
The law of the Nuclear World was more complete compared to previous worlds, and its ideology emphasized the principle of national equality. However, they now had to accept that World Government law and rules superseded all laws of their nations. This meant that in the face of the World Government, they had no grounds to argue whatsoever. This made the legal community of the Nuclear World extremely uncomfortable.
Some cursed openly, while others frowned in distress. Some also proposed obtaining a copy of the World Government's legal text, preparing to study it first.
On the other side, bankers from these nations were also at their wits' end due to the currency unification proposed by the World Government.
Unify the world's currency into Berry! All banks in these nations were to be abolished! From now on, the World Government's World Bank would formulate and execute national currency and credit policy, possessing the sole right to issue currency and financial supervision! This was practically a death sentence for them!
Although doing so was indeed beneficial for world economic development, such as reducing transaction costs and risk, promoting the growth and integration of the global economy, enhancing price transparency and competitiveness, preventing local financial crises and inflation, and so on, what did this have to do with them? All they knew was that their livelihoods were gone!
But no matter what, the voices of these people could not stop the rolling tide of the era. The World Government's order was absolute.
At the same time, in Area RL1550 of the Sea Star Red Line, inside the Great Hall of the Supreme Military Command, the World Government Supreme Military Command All-Forces Commendation and Award Ceremony was currently being held.
The ceremony was still personally presided over by Chief of Staff Alexander.
After a series of previous procedures, under the gaze of twenty thousand officers and generals of the three services, a figure that caused surprise walked onto the high platform accompanied by grand ceremonial music.
And Chief of Staff Alexander's introduction simultaneously entered everyone's ears.
"In the process of conquering the Nuclear World this time, the Auxiliary Legion's Army units achieved remarkable and undeniable military achievements. Among them, General John Joseph Pershing, as the Commander, made outstanding command contributions."
"Now, I ask Marshal Raimon of the Army Headquarters to confer upon General Pershing the 'First-Class Star Realm Army Meritorious Service Medal', 'Sea Star Citizenship Certificate', 'Sea Star Star Realm Card', 'First-Class Military Merit Baron Title Certificate', 'No. 0003 Demon Slayer World Bald Eagle Country Missouri State 500,000 Square Meter Private Territory Certificate', as well as the one hundred million Berry bonus check attached to the medal. Let us pay our highest respects to General Pershing!"
Chief of Staff Alexander's string of words not only shocked all the attendees present but also stunned the countless citizens watching the live broadcast.
Especially the soldiers from various Auxiliary Legion units who were not on combat duty and remained in the camp. No one expected the World Government to bestow such a great honor upon General Pershing, who was about to retire.
The 'Sea Star Citizenship Certificate' and 'Sea Star Star Realm Card'. The former represented that Pershing was already a citizen of Sea Star, while the latter allowed him to freely enter and exit the 'Star Gate' to go to Sea Star.
However, the location of the 'First-Class Military Merit Baron' and 'Territory' determined that his home was still in the Bald Eagle Country of the Demon Slayer World. But he could visit Sea Star with his family at any time.
This was not strange. The World Government's twenty-tier military merit peerage system would not grant territory on the Sea Star mainland, unless it was the 'Five-Star Medal'.
As for the one hundred million Berry prize money, there was nothing to say. It was simply instant wealth, directly establishing a wealthy family.
Soon, the millions of officers and soldiers from the Demon Slayer World personally watched Marshal Raimon place the medal on General Pershing's chest.
While they were envious, they were also genuinely happy, because they realized that the World Government was starting to prioritize the Auxiliary Legion.
During the previous award ceremonies, they were not mentioned at all. And now, not only was a General from the Auxiliary Legion being awarded a medal, but it seemed a dedicated set of medals had been specially designed for them?
"Star Realm Army Meritorious Service Medal, what is the Star Realm Army?" A soldier in the military camp voiced their confusion.
Just then, Chief of Staff Alexander's explanation happened to come through the live broadcast.
"Everyone must be wondering about the name 'Star Realm Army'."
"According to the information I have received, on March 1st this year, the Supreme Military Command will carry out major reforms in various aspects of the Auxiliary Legion, including changing its name to 'Star Realm Army'!"
At this, the officers and soldiers of the Auxiliary Legion, at all levels, suddenly understood. Although reform inevitably brings change, judging from the treatment General Pershing received, the benefits clearly outweighed the drawbacks.
"Next, we need to ask General Pershing to remain on stage for a moment." At this time, Chief of Staff Alexander spoke again.
"To personally present the 'Third-Class Individual Valor Cross Medal' and the 'Thirty Million Berry Bonus Check' to Colonel Erwin Rommel and Colonel Ferdinand Schörner, who showed courage and responsibility when fighting against powerful enemies in the Falmart World!"
Two figures wearing Auxiliary Legion officer uniforms were seen walking onto the stage with straight backs and beaming faces, accepting the conferment of medals from General Pershing.
This caused an uproar throughout the Auxiliary Legion. They could somewhat understand General Pershing receiving a medal earlier, after all, he was the top general of the Auxiliary Legion Army.
But for two mere Colonels to also be recognized on Sea Star, this was too inspiring, enviable, and even sparked jealousy. If they could do it, didn't that mean we could too?
Until Rommel and Schörner followed behind Pershing and left the stage, the discussions in the camps stationed in various worlds showed no signs of dying down.
These two people had become instant celebrities.
And the Supreme Military Command All-Forces Commendation and Award Ceremony was still in progress. For this ceremony, the previous three could only be considered warm-up acts.
Next, Ay from the Sea Ninja Village and General Budo from the Air Force Headquarters would respectively receive the 'First-Class Individual Valor Cross Medal' from Second Sea Shadow Tengen Uzui and Air Force Headquarters Marshal Zephyr.
Although they were defeated, considering the overwhelming strength of their opponents and the significant military achievements they had previously earned, the Command Department believed that they were still honored in defeat.
There was also Uchiha Kokuu, who received the 'First-Class Ninja Meritorious Service Medal'.
And Ay's Father, Old Ay, successfully killed Sage Cato and led the Ninja Force to capture the Rondel Magic City. Therefore, he was awarded the 'Wave Cross War Medal' by Second Sea Shadow Tengen Uzui.
Next were Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. The two of them teamed up to defeat 'Goddess of the Moon' Erland, 'Goddess of Wind' Ra, 'Goddess of Music' Lunaliu, and 'Goddess of Fertility' Milita.
Therefore, they received the 'Supreme Military Command Commendation Order', an attached 'Purple Star Medal', and the 'Third-Class Military Merit Viscount Title Certificate', personally awarded by Minister Kong of the Command Department!
Actually, there was one regrettable point. None of the four Goddesses they encountered possessed Admiral-level combat power. Otherwise, they should have received the highest level of commendation.
That is, the 'Supreme Executive Committee Commendation Order' and the 'Five-Star Medal' personally awarded by Garp as the 'Warrior God' to Shiki, Kaido, and Edward Newgate!
This was a medal awarded only when defeating a 'Highest Combat Power Target' as assessed by the Command Department.
They would also possess the 'Fourth-Class Military Merit Earl Title Certificate' and 'One Hundred Square Kilometers of Red Line' private territory.
In the future, for every 'Supreme Executive Committee Commendation Order' obtained, the peerage rank would rise by one level. The highest was First-Class Military Merit Duke, who could possess territory with an area of over one million square kilometers on the Red Line.
