Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

"Third brother, did you leave three ounces of meat at home? You're being as slow as an old woman. Can't you just get to the point? What's the matter?" Gao Cheng shouted.

The company commander of the Third Company talked for a long time, beating around the bush and never getting to the point, which made Gao Cheng anxious.

"Seventh Brother, don't be impatient, I'm telling you."

The company commander of the Third Company was not angry when he was yelled at. He still smiled and said, "If our Third Company can recruit a few better greenhorns this year, we might be able to salvage the situation and not be too embarrassed."

"I think those two brothers in basic training, Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, are pretty good and would be a good fit for our Third Company..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

After all that self-inflicted suffering, it turned out he was just after his two best recruits. Of course, Gao Cheng wasn't going to agree to that.

He picked up the two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, put them back in the bag, and handed them over, saying, "Third brother, if it were any other matter, I would help if I could, without hesitation."

But when it comes to Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai, even if you brought 20 cartons of cigarettes, let alone these two cartons, I wouldn't agree. That's not how Zhonghua cigarettes are sold.

Who is Jackie Chan?

Those were new recruits who had just broken the entire division's record. Gao Cheng was eagerly anticipating their arrival. He had even decided which platoon Cheng Long would join in the Seventh Steel Company. How could he possibly let them go?

"Seventh Brother, what happened to you? Our relationship shouldn't be like this."

The company commander of the Third Company played the personal card, lowering his standards and bargaining, saying, "Two won't do, but one will do. Give me Jackie Chan. Our company is short of an ace sniper, and that kid has potential."

"Don't even mention one, not even half of them. I've already reserved both of them in the Seventh Company. They're already soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company. No one else can change that."

Gao Cheng's expression was extremely serious, and he gritted his teeth, refusing to budge an inch.

"Knock knock knock~"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The company commander of the Third Company was not one to flatter others. Gao Cheng's stubbornness and lack of respect made him a little angry. Just then, someone came to knock on the door, so he couldn't continue the conversation. He didn't want others to see him being humble.

He could only force a smile, barely suppressing his annoyance: "Seventh Brother, you better remember this, there will be a time when you'll be begging me for help."

Gao Cheng knew that the third company commander was unhappy, but he didn't care at all. Of the 15 company commanders in the entire regiment, he always considered himself the boss.

It wasn't because his father was the best commander, but because he believed he was the most capable of leading troops.

Completely unconcerned about the third company commander's "threat," he cheerfully replied, "Alright, third brother, I'll remember that. Goodbye and don't come back."

The third company commander simply couldn't argue with Gao Cheng.

She could only point at Takashiro with her finger from afar, then angrily turned and left.

He took a couple of steps, then turned back, put on the Zhonghua cigarettes he'd brought, and gave me a look that said, "You want to smoke Zhonghua cigarettes? Go eat shit."

Gao Cheng was even happier!

He enjoyed watching these old guys, wanting to beat him but having no way to do so.

When Shi Jin saw the Third Company Commander running out with a stern face, he was so frightened that he quickly made way for him at the door, straightened his posture, and saluted, saying, "Good morning, Company Commander."

The company commander was in a terrible mood. He nodded casually and strode away.

"What's going on?"

Shi Jin remembered that the third company commander had a pretty good temper, and he couldn't understand what was wrong with him.

"Squad Leader, you've come at the perfect time."

The fact that the soldier he had his eye on was being coveted by another company commander, who even brought gifts to beg for his favor, perfectly hit Gao Cheng's vanity G-spot.

Seeing that it was someone from his own company, he cheerfully called out, "Third Squad Leader, you've come at the right time. I have something interesting to tell you."

"Company Commander, you seem to be in a good mood. What could make you so happy?" Shi Jin was genuinely curious.

"Let me tell you, the Red Third Company is usually pretty tough, always competing with our Steel Seventh Company for the title of outstanding company. But today, they actually came to me for help, insisting on giving me two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes," Gao Cheng said cheerfully.

"Ah, why?" Shi Jin stared wide-eyed, quite surprised.

The Seventh Company and the Third Company can each have a character added before their names, not because their company commanders like to add them arbitrarily, but because only exceptionally outstanding companies can be given such names.

As the two best companies in the 702nd Regiment, they are usually rivals, and neither company commander would easily admit defeat.

"What else could it be? Of course, we need soldiers, and good soldiers at that. They just want Jackie Chan and Cheng Cai from your platoon. Who can afford to smoke that kind of cigarette? Haha." Gao Cheng laughed loudly after he finished speaking.

"We definitely can't give it to them, especially not Jackie Chan. We have to take them down," Shi Jin said with a forced smile.

"What are we working ourselves to the bone for three months? Isn't it just to get a squad of elite soldiers we know inside and out, and make the Third Company look like they're crawling on the ground? I just don't understand what the Third Company Commander was thinking. Did he think I'd give it to him? Haha."

Gao Cheng smiled smugly, thinking that the new recruit training was almost over and it was time to select the new recruits for the Seventh Company.

So he casually put his arm around Shi Jin and said, "Come on, let's go to the conference room and chat for a while. You have a good eye for soldiers, give me some advice."

"Company commander, why would I choose any kind of soldier..."

"Alright, enough talk, come with me."

Shi Jin wanted to modestly decline, but Gao Cheng interrupted him halfway through his sentence, forcibly putting his arm around his shoulder and walking into the small conference room together.

Upon entering, one sees Wu Liuyi sitting in a chair, biting his nose and staring blankly at a notebook.

"What are you thinking about? How's the thing I asked you to do going?" Gao Cheng asked.

Gao Cheng brought two soldiers from the Steel Seventh Company. Now that the recruit training is over and the soldiers are about to be divided, it's time to carefully consider which soldiers to select for the Steel Seventh Company.

As soon as Wu Liuyi was brought back to the army, the company commander called him to the conference room for a "rally".

"Company Commander, we shouldn't even consider Cheng Long. He's flawless in every way, and there's no problem getting him into our Seventh Company. But what about Cheng Cai..."

"etc."

Gao Cheng interrupted Wu Liuyi by closing the conference room door to prevent the sound from getting out, before signaling Wu Liuyi to continue.

"Cheng Cai's performance in the recruit training camp was unmatched by anyone except Jackie Chan. He was excellent in every aspect, but... but I always felt that this person was a bit fake," Wu Liuyi said.

"How is it fake? Explain it to me."

Gao Cheng took out three bottles of water from the cabinet, gave one to Shi Jin and one to Wu Liuyi, and took one for himself, opened it, and sat down while drinking.

"I'm not... you know..."

Wu Liuyi didn't want to say that he wasn't being one-sided and arbitrary, feeling that it wasn't a good idea, so he changed his approach and said, "Let me put it this way: every time I look at him, it's like he knows I'm going to look at him."

Their attention is always on me, not on training and improvement; they're so focused on it.

He performed well, he really did perform well, but I always felt that he was doing it on purpose for us, rather than being truly engaged in training.
