Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Wu Yiwen had just calmed down and comforted himself by saying that the teacher had not yet been decided and that he still had a chance.

Less than two minutes later, Jackie Chan was appointed as acting division commander.

This completely shattered his composure!

Although the title "acting division commander" includes the word "acting," it wields real power as the division commander and holds supreme command authority over the First Division.

As long as no major errors occur during this period, removing the word "agent" is a logical step.

And the most brilliant touch is...

Appointing him as deputy division commander to act as division commander perfectly solved the problem of Jackie Chan's lack of qualifications, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with him.

Wu Yiwen's wish to become a teacher was completely shattered at this moment. Can you imagine how heartbroken he was?

but.

Wu Yiwen was not the one who suffered the most; the one who suffered the most was Gao Cheng.

He was a top candidate for division commander. Before the appointment ceremony, almost everyone had already decided that Gao Cheng would be the commander of the First Division.

But now they've lost!

They lost completely.

Gao Cheng's face turned as black as charcoal.

Cheng Cai, Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi, and the others felt a little regret and reluctance, but they were mostly happy for Jackie Chan.

The deputy mayor was already an unexpected bonus, but the acting division chief was definitely a double blessing.

Long Xiaoyun was the most excited person in the room. She had no other thoughts but was genuinely thrilled that Jackie Chan had become the acting instructor.

He was even more excited than Jackie Chan himself!

As the focus of the entire Great Hall of the People at this moment, Jackie Chan's feelings were very complicated, including excitement, surprise, and a bit of pressure.

Despite having experience from both his previous and current lives combined, he had no experience leading troops.

He's never led a division, let alone a battalion.

Jackie Chan had no idea whether he could lead the new digital First Division, a pioneering force in the future of the Capital Military Region.

Pressure and excitement coexist.

This is exactly how Jackie Chan feels right now.

Deputy Commander Zhong read out the name of Acting Division Commander Wang. After the enthusiastic applause subsided, he continued, "The formation of the leadership team of the First Division marks the basic completion of the establishment of the First Division."

It is hoped that all officers and soldiers of the division, under the leadership of the division's Party Committee, can truly achieve unity of purpose and effort, work together to create a first-class unit, and welcome the acceptance inspection by the headquarters and the military region.

Deputy Commander Zhong's last words were actually addressed to Jackie Chan.

Whether Jackie Chan can go from acting commander to a legitimate commander depends on this final evaluation.

If Jackie Chan can do a good job of building the First Division during his tenure as acting division commander.

They possess at least basic combat capabilities.

Therefore, removing the word "agent" from the front is a done deal.

If the First Division, under Jackie Chan's leadership, fails to achieve the desired results as expected by the military region and headquarters, then he might not even be able to become the acting division commander, let alone the division commander.

Gao Cheng and Wu Yiwen, who have been on the bench, will take over the First Division in turn.

Jackie Chan has a strong ability to understand, and he instantly grasped the meaning behind Vice Commander Chung's words, feeling the pressure on his shoulders increase even more.

However, he was not afraid, nor was he timid.

Having come from the special forces, Jackie Chan possesses greater resilience than ordinary officers; the greater the pressure on his shoulders, the stronger his motivation becomes.

"I'm determined to get the division commander position."

Jackie Chan secretly made up his mind.

It's not that I'm obsessed with getting promoted, nor am I fixated on the position of division commander. It's simply that I'm setting goals for myself and challenging myself to reach new heights and face new difficulties.

The officer appointment ceremony was short, ending soon after the list was read out.

Jackie Chan, Wu Yiwen, Gao Cheng, Lu Yunhe, and other high-ranking officers of the First Division escorted Deputy Commander Zhong out of the Great Hall of the People.

"You, as the squad leader, have a heavy responsibility. You need to take care of your health."

Deputy Commander Zhong held Political Commissar Lu's hand and earnestly instructed him, after all, Political Commissar Lu was already quite old, over fifty years old, and indeed needed to be more careful.

The reason why Political Commissar Lu is called the squad leader is mainly because that's a characteristic of the military.

The Party commands the gun.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm in good health and will definitely complete the mission successfully," Lu Yunhe replied.

When Deputy Commander Zhong came up to Jackie Chan, he didn't hold hands like Lu Yunhe did. Instead, he saluted first and then shook hands with Jackie Chan.

"Commander Cheng, whether you can remove the 'deputy' from your name is not up to me, it's up to you, understand?" Deputy Commander Zhong's words carried a hidden meaning.

"clear!"

Jackie Chan had already understood and nodded heavily.

Deputy Commander Zhong then shook hands with Wu Yiwen and said, "You're a veteran deputy division commander, so I won't say much more. I'll just give you six words: 'Pull the iron, but exert the right force.'"

"clear."

Wu Yiwen nodded to indicate that he had received the message.

He was indeed a veteran deputy division commander. He was the deputy division commander in the 203rd Division before coming to the First Division, but in the end, he still ended up as a deputy division commander.

This perennial second-place position has almost become a knot in Wu Yiwen's heart.

"Takashiro."

Deputy Commander Zhong finally approached Gao Cheng and said with some emotion, "Now that you're under my old subordinate's command, I believe you'll adjust your mindset and treat this with the right attitude, right?"

Whether Gao Cheng could accept this huge disparity was indeed the thing that Deputy Commander Zhong was most worried about.

That's why I specifically gave these instructions!

Gao Cheng obviously couldn't accept this result. When he was a company commander, Cheng Long was just a private, but now he was his superior.

Such a drastic and upheavalous change made Gao Cheng feel extremely distressed.

So he didn't agree to Deputy Division Commander Zhong's request, but said very seriously, "Deputy Commander Zhong, I'd like to talk to you alone sometime, is that alright?"

"Sure, you can come find me anytime."

Deputy Commander Zhong, though he had to consider the consequences, immediately agreed to Gao Cheng's request.

Only then did he and Minister Wang get into a military vehicle and leave amidst a collective farewell from the high-ranking officers of the First Division.

"Commander Cheng, congratulations!"

"Commander Cheng, congratulations on your promotion. Please take good care of the missile battalion in the future."

"Commander Cheng, congratulations!"

……

All the captains and department heads of the First Division, regardless of whether they were feeling jealousy, envy, or something else, came up one by one to greet Jackie Chan.

After all, they are their next direct supervisor, and possibly their permanent supervisor.

The necessary procedures still need to be followed.

However, it was limited to a few brief polite words, and after that, everyone left. No one stayed to have a long talk with Jackie Chan.

This involves many factors.

Jackie Chan knows this very well, and he doesn't blame anyone.

He knew Gao Cheng was in a bad mood and wanted to talk to him, after all, they had been together for many years and he didn't want this matter to affect their relationship.

As a result, he was surrounded by people greeting him, but when he went to find Gao Cheng after it was over, he found that Gao Cheng had already left.

Only Long Xiaoyun drove up and stopped in front of Jackie Chan.

"What's wrong, Commander Cheng? You seem preoccupied. Is it because I didn't congratulate you? Well, I'll make it up to you now. Congratulations on your promotion."

Long Xiaoyun was genuinely happy for Jackie Chan, her smile as sweet as a jujube.

"Don't tease me about our relationship."

Jackie Chan didn't stand on ceremony with Long Xiaoyun. He opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and let out a long sigh, saying, "Actually, I never expected this."

"No one expected this, especially..."

Long Xiaoyun paused deliberately, a mocking smile on her face, and said, "Your old company commander, Chief of Staff Gao, must be feeling very bad."

"So, I was looking for him just now, hoping to have a chat with him, but unfortunately I couldn't find him," Jackie Chan said helplessly.

"Nobody wants to have in-depth conversations with you right now, and you don't need to have any conversations with anyone." Long Xiaoyun's full lips curled up slightly, exuding a different kind of sexiness.

"So what can I do? Go home and sleep?" Jackie Chan joked self-deprecatingly.

"I just heard what Deputy Commander Zhong said, which was actually a sign of concern for you. The title of 'Acting' above your head is not something that is added casually, nor can it be easily removed."

Long Xiaoyun clearly understood the situation perfectly, and her few words piqued Jackie Chan's interest. He said expectantly, "I'd like to hear your thoughts."

In my opinion.

Long Xiaoyun analyzed seriously: "If our First Division wants to live up to expectations and fulfill its mission, we need someone like you to be its commander."

This title of "teacher" is not an honor to be humbly bestowed, but a heavy responsibility.

I am very happy because we have a good leader. I have absolute trust in you to lead the First Division.

I look forward to your next leadership role, and I hope we can work together successfully.

Long Xiaoyun spent nearly a year with Jackie Chan in the Fire Phoenix Special Forces and had a considerable understanding of his character and abilities.

In particular, Jackie Chan's understanding of future warfare is absolutely ahead of its time in this era.

The First Division needed to have an advanced concept that perfectly matched all of Jackie Chan's strengths, essentially making it tailor-made for him.

Long Xiaoyun is a very competitive person. Now that she has joined the First Division, she will never just coast along and will definitely build the strongest First Division.

In addition, the Information Brigade is a special entity, and its development is heavily restricted by the plans of higher authorities.

Having a leader who understands the importance of information development is crucial for the information brigade, as it can lay a solid foundation for the future.

That's why Long Xiaoyun was so happy and excited about Jackie Chan being her mentor.

Jackie Chan thought Lung Siu-wan would have unique insights, but he didn't expect her to say something that was similar to his own understanding. He was a little disappointed, but very happy.

A true friend is hard to find in life.

Finding a like-minded person is very important for Jackie Chan right now.

"I'm so glad you trust me so much, and I hope I won't let you down."

Jackie Chan smiled and said, "Since you're already here, why don't you give me a ride?"

"Okay, no problem."

Long Xiaoyun readily agreed.

After hitching a ride back to the camp with Long Xiaoyun, the Old A brothers, who had received great news from Wu Zhe, Cheng Cai, and others who had returned earlier, were already waiting in Yinbuli.

As soon as Long Xiaoyun's car stopped at the camp, it was surrounded by dozens of burly men.

Wu Zhe and Tuo Yonggang took the lead in making a fuss, saying that today was a great day for Jackie Chan to be promoted to division commander, and they had to have a big meal to celebrate.

Long Xiaoyun, who was also dropping someone off on her way back, was not spared either.

They were also enthusiastically pulled into the cafeteria.

Wine and food were already prepared on the table, and Jackie Chan started drinking as soon as he entered, unable to resist the enthusiasm of his dozens of brothers.

Thinking about how I'll be parting ways with my brothers soon, I'll be moving my luggage to the division headquarters tomorrow.

The division commander will definitely live at the division headquarters; he can no longer live at the special forces camp.

Jackie Chan, as everyone expected, treated this celebration banquet as a farewell dinner, completely letting go of everything and immersing himself in the meal.

When his brothers come over to offer a toast, Jackie Chan's main principle is to accept it without hesitation.

Seeing Jackie Chan drinking one glass of liquor after another, Long Xiaoyun was really worried that drinking so fast would ruin his health, so she anxiously advised him to take it easy.

As a result, that's the theory.

A new flame was lit.

All the old A members grinned mischievously, their eyes fixed on Long Xiaoyun. Some were even bolder, calling her "future division commander's wife" in a serious tone.

Long Xiaoyun had never seen anyone so unrestrained before, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment at being called "Mayor's wife".

He didn't care whether Jackie Chan drank or not; like a startled rabbit, he ran out of the cafeteria and crashed into the car.

Start quickly, reverse quickly, and get away quickly.

This made all the veterans laugh so hard they were doubled over.

"Look at you, look at you all! You scared everyone away! You've gone too far! Don't do that again!"

Jackie Chan was blaming someone verbally, but the smile on his face revealed his true intentions.

I was actually quite happy!

"If I could really get my hands on this woman, she might be a pretty good bed warmer."

Jackie Chan smiled to himself, then continued drinking.

After drinking with his brothers from noon until afternoon, Wu Zhe and the rest of the old A were completely impressed and truly witnessed what it meant to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

What does it mean to have an iron liver?

Jackie Chan and his thirty-odd brothers drank together, although most of them were just making a fuss, such as Xu Sanduo, who couldn't drink much alcohol.

There are fewer than ten people in the entire "Old A" group who can actually drink with Jackie Chan.

Even if we take the minimum standard of ten people as an example, if ten people drink Jackie Chan together, they still can't outdrink him and end up drinking themselves under the table.

On the other hand, Jackie Chan only blushed a little, and it didn't have much of an impact on him.

but.

Alcohol can't get Jackie Chan drunk, but it can amplify his emotions.

I hadn't spoken to Gao Cheng that afternoon, and thinking about how I had taken the old company commander's position, I felt increasingly uneasy and decided I had to go and talk to him.

We need to have a clear talk with Gao Cheng about the issue of the division commander position.

Jackie Chan believes that everyone here is a man, and that everyone is straightforward and speaks their mind, so there's no situation where things can't be explained.

So, taking advantage of being slightly tipsy, I checked the time and realized I could still make it to dinner.

If you go to find someone around mealtime, you can sit at the table, have some drinks and food, and you can also have a better chance to discuss things thoroughly.

Jackie Chan called Xu Sanduo, who hadn't been drinking, and they drove straight to Gao Cheng's house.

The conflict between the two sides must be resolved tonight!
