I put you in charge of those rebellious female soldiers, how come they all became top special forces

An Jianjun's voice echoed in the office.

Chen Zheng stood ramrod straight, his face still expressionless.

"I don't care what methods you use!" An Jianjun was even more furious at his stubborn attitude. "You must recruit at least three more people for Hua Mulan within a month!"

"and!!!"

"You absolutely cannot perform poorly in the competition, otherwise, you won't just lose face, you'll lose face for the entire Snow Leopard Regiment!"

The air in the office seemed to freeze instantly.

Chen Zheng calmly asked, "Where should we recruit?"

An Jianjun was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly.

"You can pick any military region you want." An Jianjun waved his hand impatiently. "I don't care if you're trying to pull teeth out of a tiger's mouth or get someone out of a labor camp."

"As long as she's a female soldier, and as long as the other side is willing to come, if you can handle it, I'll sign the papers and release her."

"it is good."

Chen Zheng gave another clean and crisp salute, then turned and walked straight towards the office door.

This task looks like a punishment.

But in his eyes, it was indeed a tremendous opportunity.

Mulan's team has always been somewhat special because of An Ran's presence.

Previous instructors did try to discipline An Ran, but they either couldn't beat her or were targeted by the team members.

The instructors couldn't even keep the members, let alone expel them, so the Mulan team always had the same few members.

All his training could only be done patching things up here and there on these people; he was just a paperhanger.

But now, the brigade commander himself gave him a blank imperial edict.

He was finally able to break free from all restrictions and personally select soldiers who met his standards to build a team that truly bore his mark.

Stepping out of the office, the sunlight bathed me.

Chen Zheng couldn't help but smile, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Chen Zheng!"

An Ran's urgent voice came from behind.

She quickened her pace to catch up with him, walking beside him: "How did it go? Did the brigade commander give you any trouble?"

"Difficult?" Chen Zheng chuckled. "The brigade commander promoted me."

"Promotion?" An Ran was taken aback.

"He made me the chief HR for Mulan, in charge of recruitment," Chen Zheng said casually. "He required me to recruit at least three people within a month, and their performance in the competition couldn't be bad."

An Ran stopped abruptly, her expression freezing on her face.

"Is this what you call a promotion?"

Her brows furrowed instantly: "Within less than a month, they're temporarily recruiting people and then have to readjust the training. How can they possibly achieve good results in the grand competition?"

"Is...that possible?"

"Besides, where are we going to recruit people?"

"Right now, all the companies are preparing for the big competition. Who will send out their elite troops?"

Seeing her anxious expression, Chen Zheng couldn't hide his smile even more.

He stopped, turned around, and looked at An Ran calmly.

"Who said they were going to poach people from other companies?"

"Where to?"

Chen Zheng smiled and said, "I remember there's a military academy directly under the jurisdiction of the military region nearby. We can recruit there."

"Military academy?"

An Ran was completely dumbfounded; she stared wide-eyed at Chen Zheng.

"Are you crazy? Recruiting at a military academy?"

"Those students in the military academy haven't even finished the most basic systematic training; they're completely blank slates."

"Sending them to participate in the military region's skills competition? That's not a competition, it's sending them to their deaths!"

In her opinion, Chen Zheng's decision was utterly outrageous.

Instead of going to military academies to select people, you might as well go to the mess hall to see if there are any hidden masters.

"A blank sheet of paper is the best place to draw."

Chen Zheng shook his head and gave a confident smile.

"The body is the least valuable thing."

"What I want is not just ability, but absolute obedience."

"Those veterans in the barracks are all seasoned veterans."

"Either they have superiors they obey, or they have their own ulterior motives. Getting them to completely obey me is too difficult."

"Moreover, adults tend to overthink things, just like those guys in Group B."

Chen Zheng's words made An Ran's heart sink.

"But the students in military academies are different." Chen Zheng's tone became more relaxed again. "They are younger and simpler."

"As long as they can obey unconditionally, I am confident that I can get them to graduate within half a month."

An Ran remained silent.

Looking at the strong confidence on Chen Zheng's face, she still felt that the matter was a bit uncertain, but she subconsciously nodded.

Perhaps, this man really can create miracles.

Just like his gun-fu, and the abnormal strength he displayed on the training field.

He always used his actions to refresh her understanding of the word "possibility" time and time again.

After a moment of silence, An Ran suddenly looked up and said, "I'll go with you."

Chen Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Great, that just so happens I need someone to help me persuade those little girls."

"But... don't rush. Go back to the dorm first and tell the others that there will be no training today, and they can rest for a day."

"What?"

An Ran thought she had misheard and subconsciously asked a question in return.

"What, don't you want to rest?" Chen Zheng raised an eyebrow and looked her up and down. "Looking at your dark circles, I thought you were out thieving last night."

"After you've finished giving the instructions, pack your things. I'll wait for you at the gate." Chen Zheng said this, then put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked towards the camp gate.

……

Mulan's dormitory.

Before everyone could recover from the exhaustion of Hell Week, the departure of Liu Shiyun and the other two felt like a stone weighing on their hearts.

Ram and Yao Yao were listlessly wiping their equipment.

Meng Yi remained silent, while Song Jia tidied her clothes.

Li Yue lay on the bed with her head covered by the blanket, looking utterly hopeless.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and An Ran walked in.

"team leader."

Ram let out a weak shout.

An Ran glanced around at the group of dejected team members, took a breath, and said:

"The instructor said that everyone is on holiday today and will have a day off."

The dormitory suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at An Ran.

"What is it?" Li Yue, who had been covering her head with the blanket, suddenly threw off the covers and sat up. "Captain, say it again? Did the instructor really say that?"

"Really." An Ran nodded.

The air seemed to freeze for three seconds.

"Oh yeah!!!"

Yao Yao was the first to erupt. She threw away the gun cleaning cloth in her hand, fell backward onto the bed, and let out a satisfied groan.

"Oh my god! I can finally get a good night's sleep!!!"

Ram cheered along with them, and Li Yue was so excited that she almost fell off the top bunk.

Even the usually composed Song Jia showed a relieved smile on her face.

Only Meng Yi still had that expressionless face, but the corners of her mouth seemed to be slightly upturned.

Seeing the long-lost smiles on her teammates' faces, An Ran's mood improved considerably.
