Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Because Jackie Chan often taught his three sons to read, his eldest son was no longer so silly, his second son was no longer so slick, and his youngest son was no longer so dull.

Xu Baishun has a good impression of Jackie Chan.

With his three sons growing up, they'll need to rely on the village chief to help them get into the army eventually.

He greeted Jackie Chan from a distance, saying, "Jackie Chan, you're quite something! You're already taller than your uncle. In a few years, you'll be something else. Where's your dad? I need to talk to him."

"My father is inside. I'll take you in."

Jackie Chan winked at his three underlings and led them into the courtyard.

Cheng Guoqiang was sitting by the door, puffing away on his pipe, which was filled with smoke. When he saw Xu Baishun come in, he didn't get up but just sat there and called out, "Hey, Baishun, did the sun rise in the west today? You, a distinguished guest, actually came to our door."

Xu Baishun had no place to sit, no water to drink, and was subjected to sarcastic remarks from his old rival, yet miraculously he didn't get angry or retaliate.

He adopted the expression of a hired hand begging a landlord, squatted down opposite the village chief, and asked, "Village chief, you know better than me, give me the truth: can this war last another 10 or 8 years?"

"We've been fighting for years already, how could it take another 10 or 8 years? Just focus on farming, why are you asking this?" The village chief adopted his official demeanor and took a puff of his cigarette.

"I'm thinking that Yile is already 13 years old, and he can join the army in a few years. I want him to give it a try, but I'm afraid it won't be long enough."

Only by going to the battlefield and fighting in real combat can one earn merit, and only by earning merit can one bring glory to one's ancestors. Xu Baishun's calculations were very shrewd.

"We're going to miss it, we definitely won't make it."

The village chief waved his hand repeatedly and said affirmatively, "It's basically all done now, we're in the final stages, it'll be over in about half a month at most."

"Huh?? So fast??"

Xu Baishun's dark, dry face was filled with shock and disappointment.

"Uncle Baishun, don't worry, it won't be that quick. It'll take at least several more years." Jackie Chan is a time traveler, so he knows exactly how long it will take.

"Haha, what my eldest son said might be true. He's very concerned about national affairs and watches the news every day," Cheng Guoqiang immediately chimed in.

It's said that children shouldn't interrupt adults, but Jackie Chan ran out with a pack of White Rabbit candy and interrupted. Cheng Guoqiang didn't show any dissatisfaction or scolding; instead, he looked at him with affection and pride.

Jackie Chan's eldest son is so sensible, and he has always been number one in his studies.

Moreover, thanks to his extraordinary physical abilities, he was quite famous throughout Taiping Town, and everyone who met Cheng Guoqiang praised him for having such a good son.

Cheng Guoqiang, the father, was grinning from ear to ear; how could he possibly bear to scold Jackie Chan?

Xu Baishun, whose spirits had already sunk to rock bottom, immediately perked up when he heard Jackie Chan say there was still a chance. He jumped up expectantly and asked, "Really? Can you fight for another 5 years?"

Five years later, Yile will be 18 years old and eligible to enlist.

"Five years? That's definitely not that long. The monkeys in the south couldn't hold out for long. At most, it will be over in two or three years."

"what?"

Jackie Chan's words left Xu Baishun extremely disappointed. With his eyes drooping, he muttered under his breath, "Those monkeys are such a bunch of cowards, why couldn't they have held out for a few more years?"

"The reason why these small Southeast Asian countries have been able to fight for so many years is because we wanted to take this opportunity to train our troops; otherwise, the war would have been over long ago."

Jackie Chan distributed White Rabbit candies to the three Xu brothers, and watching them happily peel and eat them, he comforted them, saying, "You can join the army even if there's no war. Of your three sons, at least one of them will be able to."

"right!!"

Hearing Jackie Chan say this, Xu Baishun shook off his dejection and perked up again, confidently shouting, "My Xu family has three sons, surely one of them will be able to join the army."

In these special times.

Bringing honor to one's ancestors and serving one's country have always been deeply ingrained themes.

"Bai Shun, let me tell you, you should stop thinking about joining the army. Go back to farming, go back to doing production and construction. The country's reform and opening up will bring opportunities. When the time comes, you can renovate your mud house. That will be better than anything else."

Cheng Guoqiang then adopted his official tone and lectured Xu Baishun in the manner of a village chief.

It wasn't that Cheng Guoqiang didn't have his old grudges and didn't want his son to join the army and serve the country; rather, he was scheming ahead of time to pave the way for his son.

Cheng Guoqiang is worried that there won't be enough slots for his two sons who want to join the army.

People who can become village chiefs are very shrewd.

"The mud house is comfortable and cool, so I'm happy to live in it. Sending my son to join the army to bring honor to our ancestors is the most important thing for my Xu family."

Xu Baishun is a stubborn and obstinate person. No one can easily sway his mind, not even the village chief.

He then left with his three sons.

Time flies.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

As China entered a period of rapid reform and opening up, giant enterprises began to emerge one after another, such as Lenovo and Suning.

The Three Gorges Dam, which has benefited hundreds of millions of people since its completion, has also begun its pre-construction social warm-up.

With his extraordinary physical abilities and exceptionally high intelligence, which earned him the title of child prodigy from his teachers, Jackie Chan has already skipped grades and is now in his second year of high school.

Studying in the county town was too far from his village, so Jackie Chan could only go back once a month.

The three underlings he had trained for many years have changed a lot in the past few years because Jackie Chan no longer had time to take care of them.

The Xu family was already struggling financially, and now his wife has suddenly passed away from a serious illness.

Forced to be both father and mother, Xu Baishun was lucky to be able to feed his three children; education and management were simply out of the question.

The eldest son managed to finish junior high school, but due to his dull personality and overly honest and simple nature, it was as if he hadn't gone to junior high at all.

Now she can only stay at home and farm with Lao Xu, while also taking on the role of "mother" by cooking and washing clothes.

Erhe was the smartest in the Xu family. Knowing that the family could only afford to send one person to school, he simply pretended to be a good-for-nothing and dropped out of school before finishing junior high.

Only the third son, Xu Sanduo, is left, and he is still in junior high school in the town.

Because of his mother's sudden departure, his father, Lao Xu, was in a bad mood and often resorted to physical punishment. His "elder brother," Jackie Chan, who took care of him, also went to study in another city.

Xu Sanduo, who was already introverted, began to become increasingly dull and wooden.

He became the "Xu the Fool" that Cheng Cai talked about!

In short.

The Xu family has had a tough time these past few years, but thankfully, their eldest son, Yile, has finally turned 18.

Xu Baishun called his three sons to the mourning hall. In front of their three mothers, he suppressed his grief, took out money from his pocket, and placed it on the table one by one, muttering, "Your mother left early. She said that one of our three sons would definitely join the army, that one of them would be successful..."

Yi Le and Er He had never seen so much money before. The stacks of money made their eyes widen, and they forgot the sadness brought by their mother's photo.

Finally, the money was handed to Yi Le. Xu Baishun said expectantly, "This is all the money we have at home. Remember to buy some good food to nourish yourself before you go for your physical examination. Don't be screened out because of the physical examination."

"Bring your two younger brothers along too, let those two rascals broaden their horizons early, so they can join the army someday."

"Yes, Father."

This was the first time in Yi Le's life that he had received such a huge sum of 10 yuan. He was so excited that he clapped his hands together and gave Xu Baishun a military salute that Jackie Chan had taught him.

Xu Baishun's confidence was greatly boosted after reading this.

He patted Yile on the shoulder and said, "Yile, you must become successful."
