Chapter 61 - We Must Make Raymond a National Hero!

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

On the Internet, a message was posted on various platforms from the official accounts of the Pentagon.

It caused a huge shock to the netizens!

“Congratulations to Major General Raymond for becoming a National Medal of Honor recipient!”

It was just a simple sentence.

The attached picture was a picture of Raymond surrounded by people congratulating him!

This sentence revealed two messages!

The first was that Raymond had been awarded the rank of Major General!

The second was that Raymond would be awarded the National Medal of Honor!

What the hell was going on?

The netizens might not be familiar with the National Medal of Honor, but they were familiar with the rank of Major General!

Was this something that an 18-year-old freshman could obtain in peacetime?

All of a sudden, all the forums and platforms were discussing this matter!

“What’s going on? Raymond… is he the Raymond I think he is?”

“Upstairs, other than the Raymond you think he is, which other Raymond can make the Pentagon directly give him the rank of a Major General and the National Medal of Honor?”

“Just a piece of body refining technique that I don’t know if it’s real or fake can make the country give so many rewards?”

“I think I can do it too!”

“You can’t do it at all!”

“Upstairs, upstairs, upstairs, you still don’t know if it’s real or fake? Did your family just connect to the internet? How many people have uploaded their own body refining results?”

“I think that although body refining technique is very useful, Major General Raymond must have more than these achievements!”

“Upstairs, this is a rational analysis! Those who can be awarded the National Medal of Honor are basically people who have made significant contributions to the country or played an extremely crucial role in matters at the national level!”

“It’s indeed not enough to just rely on the body refining technique alone!”

“…”

The netizens were discussing animatedly, but what they were struggling with was what exactly did Raymond do to be directly awarded the National Medal of Honor?

On the contrary, everyone subconsciously forgot that Raymond was very young.

Why bring it up?

Wasn’t bringing it up just to make themselves uncomfortable?

F*ck!

He had already become a Major General at the age of 18 and had already received the National Medal of Honor.

What about us? We’re still typing on the keyboard…

While the internet was abuzz with discussion, the students of West Point were also dumbfounded.

The teachers and students of West Point naturally knew about Raymond, this unexpected freshman!

After all, he had entered West Point with a zero in six subjects. He had even broken a brick with his bare hands during military training. Later on, he had even been encrypted with SSS-level encryption. In the end, he didn’t even go to school and was directly taken away by the military in a helicopter…

There was no one who was ignorant enough to not know about this legendary figure.

Professor Wilson, Lamb, Ryan, and Donnie had gathered together as soon as the news of the Pentagon spread!

Others did not know what Raymond had done.

But they knew!

“It seems that the practical project of the red and ultraviolet insulation technology has been officially completed!”

Professor Lamb said loudly, holding a rum in his hand. His face was filled with excitement!

The other professors’ faces were also filled with joy!

These old professors basically treated West Point as their home.

Just like Hansen, when Raymond made achievements, they were the happiest!

After all, Raymond was from West Point Military Academy!

Another gray-haired old man laughed out loud. It was the computer science professor, Ryan!

“That’s right, I said it back then. Raymond must be a genius! Now, West Point is completely famous. Let’s see if those schools that have been competing with us will still jump!”

“Hahaha! Maybe next year, we’ll be able to compare with those Ivy League schools!”

“I think Principal Rawls must be laughing his head off! hahaha!”

As they were talking, a serious voice suddenly came from behind them!

“Who’s talking about me behind my back?”

The few of them quickly stood up and turned their heads to look. If it wasn’t Principal Rawls, who else could it be?

At this moment, Principal Rawls’ expression was serious and stern. The few of them looked left and right, not understanding what was going on.

Raymond had received the rank of Major General, and he had directly received the National Medal of Honor. This was such a good thing. As the principal, why wasn’t he happy at all?

Rawls walked closer and looked at the few of them who were holding cups in their hands.

He snorted coldly and said indifferently, “Didn’t you prepare a cup for me, the principal?”

Everyone looked at each other. After a few seconds, they burst into laughter!

Principal Rawls also smiled faintly. He was naturally very happy in his heart. The way he looked just now was just a joke with these familiar professors!

“Principal Rawls, you scared us! We thought something else had happened!”

“That’s right, Principal, you’re not being honest!”

“Haha! You deserve three glasses of wine!”

“That’s right, Lamb, you’re in charge of getting the Principal drunk today!”

A bunch of old professors, whose average age was over 60, were talking and laughing loudly.

Raymond’s achievements had indeed made them all feel honored!

If they were to meet the professors from other schools in the future, they would have a lot to show off!

“Our school has so-and-so, what kind of honor did they get?!”

As for the professors from West Point, they only needed to say ‘Raymond is from West Point’ to completely suppress everyone!

Although this was a little child’s play, in front of professors of the same level, this kind of thing happened quite often!

Just like today, many old men were as happy as children. This was also something that happened quite often!

…

Meanwhile, Raymond was still at District 11 military base.

A middle-aged man in a black suit was meeting him!

This middle-aged man was a high-ranking official of the Pentagon. This time, he was here to discuss with Raymond about the military rank award and the National Medal of Honor ceremony!

According to the Pentagon’s thoughts. it would be best if the medal was broadcast live. The Pentagon intended to make Raymond a national hero and a national idol!

Because he was too young, he almost perfectly represented the words ‘vigorous, ambitious, and genius’!

It really made the high-ranking officials of the Pentagon like him!

If such a national idol was brought out, it would almost represent the image of the country! As long as Raymond did not do anything outrageous in the future, it would almost mean that he would have a stable career!

This high-ranking official expressed his meaning in a subtle way.

Raymond understood after a little thought, but he was still thinking about this matter!
