Soldiers Assault: Veteran Special Recruits

The first formal meeting of the First Division ended with a mixed result.

Gao Cheng was the happiest one. He could not hide his joy when he got home. He ordered a plate of double cucumbers and some peanuts.

I hummed a little tune and drank a little wine by myself.

His wife Chen Li was confused and couldn't help but run over to ask, "I say, Lao Gao, what's wrong with you today? It's rare to see you so happy."

Gao Cheng grabbed two peanuts, put them into his mouth and ate them while saying, "Of course I'm happy, because the military exercise is about to begin."

"Don't we conduct exercises very often? I've never seen you so happy before." Chen Li wondered.

"This time is different from usual."

Gao Cheng sat up straight, cleared his throat and said seriously, "I, the commander of the First Division, will soon have some clues."

"Really? If it's true, it's worth celebrating."

Chen Li was happy for Gao Cheng. She moved a chair and sat down. She poured herself a glass of red wine and said, "Cheers to your dream coming true soon."

"cheers!"

Gao Cheng raised his glass and drank it all.

……

Wu Yiwen returned home with a sad face and took out his favorite game Huarong Dao, hoping to release his emotions through Wang Qi.

As a result, Huarong Road, which usually made me calm down as long as I played it, was not fun at all today.

The more you play, the more annoyed you become.

In the end, he simply threw the chessboard away, throwing it far away on the ground and scattering it everywhere.

The wife, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, heard the rustling noise in the living room and ran out to ask with concern, "What's wrong? Old Wu, what happened?"

"Nothing?" Wu Yiwen replied impatiently.

Her wife was a traditional Christian woman, and she did not dare to continue asking the head of the family why he was angry, so she quickly ran to pick up the fallen chess piece on the ground.

While picking it up, he said, "You don't look well, why don't you go take a rest?"

"Who said that."

Wu Yiwen stood up and walked to the recliner and sat down, then lay down. Even a fool could tell that he was worried about something, but he still spoke toughly.

"Alas, this master is always unstable and another Cheng Yaojin appears halfway through."

Wu Yiwen's wife had obviously heard some news, and she stood up for her husband and said, "If you ask me, if Gao Cheng becomes the division commander, you can become the commander of the military sub-district, it will be the same."

The military sub-district is also a division-level unit, and the position and treatment are the same as being the division commander of the First Division.

To outsiders, there is really no difference.

But only insiders know that although the First Division is a full division like the military sub-district, its status in the military region is completely different.

Being a mayor in the First Division, apart from other things, the military rank on your shoulders can guarantee that you will be transformed from a star into a flower.

The military sub-district is not necessarily the same!
This difference alone is huge.

Wu Yiwen obviously knew this and knew how high the status of the First Division was, but he was too lazy to explain it to the woman and said impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense."

"What nonsense."

Wu Yiwen's wife also got emotional and raised her voice, saying, "Old Wu, sometimes, just like playing chess, if one way doesn't work, you have to learn to try another way. You can't hang yourself on a tree."

“Oh, that’s right.”

Wu Yiwen was enlightened by his wife's words, and suddenly thought of the key point, and stood up and said: "I am not at the point of despair yet.

I just don’t believe it. This chess game is a human move. As long as it’s not a dead end, I don’t believe it won’t work.”

As he said that, Wu Yiwen came back to the coffee table, picked up the Huarong Dao that his wife had just picked up, and started playing again.

"Old Wu, I don't understand playing chess, but I've been watching you practice Huarong Dao all day, and I can really see something of it." Wu Yiwen's wife poured a cup of tea over and said mysteriously.

"Oh, then tell me about it."

Wu Yiwen's curiosity was really piqued.

"Why do you have to think of yourself as Cao Cao? You have to be watched closely by Guan Gong and Zhang Fei all day long, and you have no freedom at all. Can't you learn from that little pawn? He is much more flexible in his movements."

The truth behind what Wu Yiwen's wife said was very simple, but it suddenly enlightened Wu Yiwen.

The previous depression was swept away.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Wu Yiwen's wife ran over to open the door and saw that the person who came was her old subordinate Gui Pingyuan.

Gui Pingyuan came with a topic and went straight to the point.

"Deputy Commander Wu, letting Jackie Chan and Staff Officer Gao confront each other, does it mean that... Jackie Chan will take over the position of Chief of Staff of the First Division?" Gui Pingyuan said.

"You mean, Gao Cheng will be the commander of the First Division?" Wu Yiwen said unhappily.

"There are discussions on this issue," said Gui Pingyuan.

"Oh, do you believe that the masses can form a team? It's all uncertain." Wu Yiwen said as he waved the flag, without any emotional fluctuations.

"The masses form the team, and it's almost certain." Gui Pingyuan said with a smile.

"nonsense."

Gui Pingyuan's idea was contrary to his. Wu Yiwen was in a bad mood and had no intention of playing chess. He threw the chessboard on the table with a stern face.

Gui Pingyuan was so frightened that he dared not say a word.

Realizing that he was a little out of control, Wu Yiwen immediately smiled and changed the subject, saying, "Pingyuan, I just heard from your sister-in-law that your child doesn't listen to the teacher at school. You should pay more attention to him in the future."

"Haha, that's for sure."

Gui Pingyuan didn't want to talk about personal matters, so he turned back to business and said, "I personally think that the chief letting Gao Cheng and Jackie Chan fight is not necessarily a good thing for Gao Cheng."

Wu Yiwen was no longer interested in talking to Gui Pingyuan, because Gui Pingyuan had already kicked Wu Yiwen out.

But Gui Pingyuan insisted on going back to the topic, and Wu Yiwen couldn't just ignore it, so he could only say expressionlessly: "Your judgment is quite strange."

"I think, in a sense, this is a brilliant move by the leader," Gui Pingyuan muttered.

"What's so wonderful about it?" Wu Yiwen asked.

"You are a chess expert. When two people compete with each other, those with equal strength will often let go of their hands and feet and fight to the death. When Gao Cheng and Jackie Chan compete, he will not be relaxed and problems will arise if he is not careful."

Gui Pingyun gave an example after he finished speaking: "It's like the Chinese men's football team, when facing a weak team, they wanted to win but were afraid of losing, and ended up losing miserably."

The angle of the Guiping Plain is quite unique.

He believes that in the game between Gao Cheng and Jackie Chan, if Gao Cheng wants to win too much, it will cause problems and he will lose miserably in the end, and Wu Yiwen will have hope again.

This is not to say that there is no possibility.

After going around in circles, this turned out to be what he meant. His old subordinates were still thinking about him, and Wu Yiwen felt a little better.

His tone was much softer as he said, “Hey, Pingyuan, don’t forget the relationship between Gao Cheng and Jackie Chan.

I have had several private contacts with Jackie Chan, and I know him to some extent. Given his personality, he will definitely praise his old company commander at this juncture and lend a helping hand to his old company commander."

Wu Yiwen's judgment has been finalized, and he has basically approved Gao Cheng to become the division commander. In the face of no hope of competing for the division commander, Wu Yiwen has changed his strategy and decided to compete for the position of chief of staff. As long as he can stay in the First Division, everything else is actually the same.

You can also change the stars on your shoulders into flowers!

"I don't see it that way."

Gui Ping also has a different way of thinking, and analyzed: "Jackie Chan can be said to be an alternative person, and we cannot look at him with normal thinking.

Besides, the commander was personally supervising the battle. No matter how good the relationship between Jackie Chan and Gao Cheng was, they would not dare to deliberately mess up the exercise in front of the commander.

After all, no matter which side they are on, they all care about their image in the leader's mind.

Moreover, the beauty of the commander's ambiguous move is that Gao Cheng may become a dead end in this confrontation and eventually be eliminated."

Gui Pingyuan's final judgment was indeed a bit too arbitrary.

Wu Yiwen was delighted when he heard this, but he said with a stern face, "Don't talk nonsense. It's not good to treat people like this."

"It's not that I want to ruin him. It's obvious that Deputy Commander Zhong wants to eliminate him." Gui Pingyuan said confidently.

Wu Yiwen was stunned.

Gui Pingyuan's perspective is so clear and strange that his judgment seems to be unreasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

Wu Yiwen was so confused that he didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Gui Pingyuan became more and more excited as he spoke, and continued, "Gao Cheng was chosen as the candidate for the commander of the DA Division by the Military Region Party Committee.

It would be harder to eliminate this candidate than to include him as a candidate in the first place.

What makes Deputy Commander Zhong difficult is that in order to eliminate the top leaders, everyone from top to bottom must be convinced, so the outcome of the confrontation between the two of them depends on it.

Even though he won, Gao Cheng is still just one of the candidates, proving that Jackie Chan's theory is wrong.

Then everything will be overturned and started over again. You and Gaocheng only fought half of the confrontation last time, and you have to pick it up and continue fighting next time.

If you lose, Gao Cheng will be eliminated naturally, and in the end it will still be you and Jackie Chan competing against each other."

The angle and reason for Gui Pingyuan's intervention were already very clear when he finished speaking. He believed that the reason why Wu Yiwen was not involved this time was because the leader wanted to test Gao Cheng.

From the beginning to the end, Jackie Chan was never taken seriously as a candidate for commander.

Considering that Jackie Chan only holds the rank of colonel, it is indeed a bit unreasonable for him to jump to the position of division commander, especially for such an important unit as the First Division.

Guiping analyzed the situation based on common sense and found that this judgment was indeed correct.

After listening to Gui Pingyuan's long speech, Wu Yiwen's heart began to heat up even though he still felt that Gui Pingyuan's judgment was too far-fetched.

Force yourself to trust Gui Pingyuan's judgment.

After all, if there is a chance to be a division commander, no one would be willing to be the chief of staff.

With this fluke mentality, Wu Yiwen asked: "So do you think Gao Cheng will lose to Jackie Chan?"

"It's a sure loss." Gui Pingyuan was sure.

"Oh?"

Wu Yiwen's expression showed no surprise, but he straightened up his body which was sitting sideways.

"As long as Gao Cheng is eliminated, there will be only you left out of the two official candidates, and the outcome will be set."

Gui Pingyuan spoke with great confidence. If he were given a feather fan, he would probably be as powerful as Zhuge Liang.

"Hey, Pingyuan, you are very good at analyzing other people's careers, but have you ever thought about what role you will play in the First Division in the future?"

Wu Yiwen's sudden question at this time really caught Gui Pingyuan off guard.

After a few dry laughs, he said, "Well, actually, I never thought about it. I, Gui Pingyuan, was promoted from a soldier to a volunteer soldier because I wrote some small articles. It was you who helped me get promoted from a volunteer soldier to a cadre.

Now that I am the section chief again, I am very content and don’t have any more extravagant demands.”

Gui Pingyuan is worthy of being a writer. His response was well-thought-out, showing both his ability and his loyalty.

The only thing missing is one final sentence: Commander Wu, if you go, I will go too, and I will follow you.

"Be content. That's a good point. Only when you are content can you have nothing to ask for."

Wu Yiwen let out a long sigh. The word "contentment" made him feel inexplicably touched.

……

The two official candidates for division commander both had their own little thoughts at this time.

As a dark horse who suddenly emerged and joined the competition without knowing why, Jackie Chan's mood at this moment was even more complicated than the other two.

to be frank.

With such a good opportunity in front of us, everyone would want to climb up and reach the next level.

If his competitor was not Gao Cheng, but Wu Yiwen, whom he was not familiar with, Jackie Chan would have no pressure at all and would have just done it.

However, the competitor is Gao Cheng, which makes Jackie Chan a little difficult.

Gao Cheng is not only his old company commander, but also his old friend of ten years. The most important thing is that when he first came here, Jackie Chan had promised him so.

I will definitely do my best to help Gao Cheng and help him realize his dream of becoming a colonel and one grade higher.

Now that I have become his competitor, should Jackie Chan still fulfill his promise?

If Jackie Chan does not fulfill the promise he made, he will be a man of his word. If he fulfills the promise he made, he will not be able to explain himself.

There is no child's play in the army.

In the confrontation exercise between the two armies supervised by the commander himself, if Jackie Chan dared to let off steam and play tricks, it would be tantamount to treating the commander's military orders as a joke.

If the leader really wants to investigate, it will be a big trouble for Jackie Chan.

dilemma.

This is Jackie Chan's current situation.

Wu Liuyi, Xu Sanduo, Chengcai, Wu Zhe, Tuo Yonggang and others learned about the situation and knew that Jackie Chan was in a difficult situation, so they all came over to give him advice.

Basically, it is divided into two factions.

Among the old buddies who just came out last year, Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi both tend to let Jackie Chan go and allow Gao Cheng to fulfill his dream.

After all, Jackie Chan is still very young and has a lot of room for promotion.

Even if you give up this opportunity, there are still plenty of opportunities at the age of thirty, and you will definitely be able to have a flower fall on your shoulders before you are forty.

The most important thing is that Jackie Chan is from the special operations brigade, and Brigade A is waiting for Jackie Chan to take over.

If he becomes the commander of the First Division, he will have to transfer to the corps to fight, which means he will say goodbye to his brothers completely and they will never be able to fight side by side again.

Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi, who have been accustomed to going through life and death with Jackie Chan and have followed him for many years, really don't want to be separated from him.

The main reason is that we don’t want to be separated.
