Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 57 I like challenges
Because Chen Jiang knew of Yuan Lang's existence, he deliberately walked behind Xu Sanduo.

He was not sure whether Yuan Lang came only to invite Xu Sanduo.

Anyway, Yuan Lang will not do anything bad to them, at least not here.

Xu Sanduo was completely immersed in the excitement of seeing Chen Jiang, so he was somewhat unaware of Yuan Lang's "ambush" in the dark. When Yuan Lang used a grappling move to grab Xu Sanduo's shoulder, Chen Jiang on his right side arrived first and exchanged a move with him before Yuan Lang could catch Xu Sanduo.

Xu Sanduo's fighting experience has been honed to a great extent. After being "attacked", he immediately changed his position flexibly and prepared to launch a fierce attack from two different angles with Chen Jiang.

Yuan Lang knew this was not going to go well. Although it was three against one at first, that was in the wild. Now in this corridor, he had to deal with two top soldiers who were even more advanced. It was definitely not going to go well.

Sure enough, after just two moves, Yuan Lang called a halt.

At this time, Xu Sanduo also realized that the voice seemed familiar. After turning on the lights in the corridor, he finally saw the face of the person who came. Who else could it be but Yuan Lang?
"Oh, you two are really ruthless."

Yuan Lang moved his wrist which had been shocked by Xu Sanduo just now. This kid was a complete rookie. He started fighting with a life-and-death style, a head-on fight.

"I'm sorry, Chief, we didn't know it was you." Xu Sanduo took the initiative to take the responsibility.

"Nonsense, your corridor is so dark, of course you don't know it's me." Yuan Lang originally just wanted to tease them, thinking that dark places are quite fun.

Unexpectedly, these two guys reacted so quickly and cooperated very well.

He truly deserves to be the top student of the 7th Steel Company.

"Commander, Xu Sanduo is the only one in the company. He turned off all the lights to save electricity."

"Report to the commander, it's daytime now, and the company has regulations to conserve water and electricity!"

Yuan Lang was speechless when he heard this. "It's such a large military unit, and you're telling me to save water and electricity? But you can't find any fault with it."

"Well, even if what you said is right, why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

Xu Sanduo immediately understood, quickly took out the key to open the door, and poured water for both of them.

At this time, Yuan Lang also saw clearly that Chen Jiang came in with luggage, and it was obvious that he had just returned from outside.

So he found a stool and sat down, then asked gently, "Did you pass?"

Chen Jiang smiled slightly and said, "Report to the commander, we still have to wait for the final notification."

When Yuan Lang heard this, he understood.

The top soldiers who can compete with me and are from 985 universities will either be the first or the second in this selection exam. As for the subsequent discussion, it is probably just a formality.

The direct promotion from soldiers to officers is done through careful selection, and the elimination rate is very low.

So he stopped asking about this and instead revealed his true intention.

"I don't like beating around the bush. We're going to hold tryouts soon, and I'd like to invite you two to participate! What do you think? Are you interested?"

Yuan Lang thought that if he posed such a question, the two would agree readily. After all, not everyone could enter the Old A, and not everyone was even eligible to participate in the trials. Unexpectedly, the two remained silent.

This time it was embarrassing.

"No, I, a lieutenant colonel from Old A, came here specially to invite you two to participate in the competition. This is a scorpion's shit - unique and poisonous. Is this how you two respond? What, do you look down on Old A?" Yuan Lang joked.

"Reporting to the commander, no, it's not like that. I'm involved in a promotion, and according to regulations, all soldiers who pass must go to the military academy for intensive training for ten months. But if I participate in the selection of Old A, it's fine if I don't pass. But if I pass, which side should I choose? I really can't decide."

Chen Jiang spoke frankly. Although he longed to join a unit like Old A's, the opportunity to be promoted directly from among the soldiers was even rarer.

Once you miss it, there may be another chance later, but your age advantage will become a disadvantage, which is not worth it no matter how you look at it.

Yuan Lang just smiled after hearing this, then took a sip of the water that Xu Sanduo poured for him.
Damn, it’s hot!

But this also shows Xu Sanduo's self-discipline. He is alone here and still does what he should do.

But he had to solve the two people's problems one by one.

"Chen Jiang, do you know why soldiers have to go to military academy after being promoted to officers?"

Chen Jiang really couldn't answer it for a moment. It's just like if you get into a good university through the college entrance examination, don't you have to go to school for further studies?

But is it really that simple?
Yuan Lang gently put down the enamel cup. "The main purpose of sending you to the military academy is to learn modern military command and professional knowledge, as well as to improve your ZZ theory. And you can learn all these things in the old A Special Brigade! You can even learn them more professionally."

Huh? Chen Jiang still didn't understand.

Isn't Old A in charge of special operations? Does he also train future military officers?
This was a bit beyond his understanding of Old A.

"We are all professional soldiers. Our mission is not only to test the combat effectiveness of our fellow units, but more importantly, we are at the forefront of the Army's bold exploration and experimentation with future warfare!"

"In other words, we'll be given priority access to the most advanced equipment and combat theories in the military region! Do you understand?"

Chen Jiang understood what was said, but he still had a question: could he not go to military school?
So when Yuan Lang heard his question, he laughed.
"Of course you have to go to the military academy, but you can spend most of your time in Old A. It won't affect your completion of the military exams there. Let me put it this way, you can handle all the modern military theory and combat command you learn there. The only thing is that there won't be any instructors teaching you the cultural subjects. But I think the cultural subjects there won't be difficult for us 985 university students."

"You mean, I can go to Old A to train and learn at the same time? It won't affect my promotion?" Chen Jiang had to ask clearly. Otherwise, if he was fooled by him and finally said no, that would be a real bummer.

Yuan Lang said calmly, "You can understand it that way, but the final exam still depends on you. Old A doesn't guarantee your exam score! The military region has given us a lot of autonomy and also provided a lot of convenience. As long as we select talented people, we can achieve our goals through communication with the higher-ups."

"Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that you must be able to pass Old A's selection test and eventually become a formal member of Old A."

Xu Sanduo was completely confused by what Yuan Lang said.

After passing the selection, why do you have to become a formal member?
Isn’t this a thing?

Only Chen Jiang understood that the selection test was just a preliminary round, and the elimination after reaching Old A would be cruel!

"Okay, in that case, I decided to give it a try." Chen Jiang smiled, "I like challenges!"
