Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Commissar Lu single-handedly suppressed the crowd and insisted that his son prove he was not a coward.

Before Lu Shaohong set off to board the plane, Lu Yunhe patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, saying, "Shaohong, Dad believes you can do it. I'll be here waiting for you, watching you descend from the sky like a hero."

Lu Shaohong was still feeling uneasy, his face stiff, clearly not having overcome the psychological pressure.

Seeing the expectation in his father Lu Yunhe's eyes, he could only hide his fear and nervousness in his heart and slowly nod to indicate that he understood.

Seeing that things were beyond saving, Liang Hang could only try to add to what he could within the limited circumstances.

A group of veteran parachutists were specially selected to parachute together with Lu Shaohong in the same helicopter, in order to minimize the chance of an accident.

Once the group was on the helicopter, the veterans surrounded Lu Shaohong, explaining various details and techniques to him.

Even a hasty sharpening of a spear can yield a decent result, though not perfect.

Psychologist Kong Dahui provided personalized service, doing his best to counsel Lu Shaohong, relieve his stress, and help him overcome his timidity.

With everyone's best efforts, the helicopter finally arrived at the drop zone.

You know what?

With the full support of the psychologist, the various techniques and explanations taught by the veterans, and Lu Shaohong's desire not to embarrass his father, the psychologist helped him.

Lu Shaohong, who was initially too afraid to jump, actually overcame his fear.

When it was his turn to jump, Lu Shaohong stood by the hatch, took a deep breath, shouted "Dad!" and then jumped.

He jumped with his eyes open, which even he found amazing.

It turned out that Lu Shaohong did not have acrophobia. He looked down from the sky with his eyes open and did not feel dizzy or uncomfortable at all.

Once you've overcome the hurdle of jumping down, the rest will fall into place.

When Political Commissar Lu saw his son jump down, he excitedly ran after him, anticipating Lu Shaohong's landing position and preparing to greet him immediately.

Wu Zhe, Liang Hang, and the others, worried that something might happen, followed closely behind.

A few minutes later.

With Lu Shaohong excitedly shouting "Dad!", he landed safely on the ground, only injuring his foot upon landing.

Liang Hang originally wanted to call a doctor to carry him back on a stretcher for treatment.

Commissar Lu was very satisfied with his son's performance and excitedly said that he would carry him on his back himself, walking step by step while whispering to each other along the way.

The bond between father and son is as intense as fire, as if it were a passing down of tradition.

After being tense for half a day, Liang Hang and Wu Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene. They looked at each other and smiled with relief.

……

Information Brigade Laboratory.

Jackie Chan and Long Xiaoyun had finished watching the game disc. Long Xiaoyun commented, "This person is not only talented, but can be described as a genius."

"Oh? This is the first time I've heard such high praise from you," Jackie Chan said with a smile.

"In terms of programming, I can say that this person is one in a million. I believe that no one else could design the core part of E5W."

Long Xiaoyun spared no praise, giving Jing Xiaoshu the highest esteem.

"Then what do you need me to do?" Jackie Chan asked.

The fact that such talent could be acquired meant that there was hope of completing the E5W system in three months, and Jackie Chan's eagerness far exceeded that of Lung Siu-wan.

"There's only one thing: get him in as soon as possible. The sooner he joins the research and development, the sooner we'll succeed," Long Xiaoyun said.

"We're not just interested in Jing Xiaoshu this time; there are several other people we need to recruit through special quotas. Political Commissar Lu also said that we don't have enough quotas," Jackie Chan said with difficulty.

"The people we've set our sights on are all experts in software development and programming. I guarantee that many large companies are eyeing them. If we delay even one more day, they might be snatched away," Long Xiaoyun said.

"I understand the situation. We definitely need the person. I'll figure out a way if there are any difficulties. I'll go and find a solution right away. Goodbye."

Jackie Chan turned and left immediately after speaking, demonstrating his decisive and swift actions.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Long Xiaoyun waved and said.

Jackie Chan left the Information Brigade laboratory, intending to discuss the special recruitment quota with Political Commissar Lu, but upon calling, he learned that Lu was still in the Army Aviation Brigade and had not yet returned.

He had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and called Minister Wang of the military region.

Regarding the formation of the Special Operations Brigade of the First Division, Jackie Chan, in his capacity as the commander of the First Division, once again offered his advice and asked Minister Wang to convey it to Deputy Commander Zhong.

Seeing Jackie Chan's eagerness, Minister Wang revealed some information without violating any rules.

That is, in the military region's current plan, there is an intention to reorganize and expand the police communications battalion as the basis to form a special operations brigade at the regimental level.

Furthermore, in response to Jackie Chan's previous suggestion, the existing Old A Squadron of the First Division was retained as the core backbone to form a special operations brigade belonging to the First Division.

The military region has already held a round of discussions and has strong opinions on this proposal.

After all, the A-team is a professional unit with all officers. Although most of the A-team members who came this time were just soldiers, they all held the rank of standard officers.

Moreover, most of them held mid-level or higher positions, and two of them were even school officers.

Tuo Yonggang is a major, and Wu Zhe is a lieutenant colonel.

With these forty-odd officers, Old A was more than enough to support a special operations brigade of regimental size; all they lacked were soldiers.

Minister Wang revealed to Jackie Chan that the higher-ups intended to reorganize and expand the police communications battalion, which was essentially giving the answer.

Someone as intelligent as Jackie Chan naturally doesn't need to ask any further questions.

If the First Division Special Operations Brigade could truly be structured around the Old A Squadron as its core and the Police Communications Battalion as its foundation, then it would be the perfect solution for Jackie Chan.

This would not only address the First Division's lack of expertise in special operations.

It can also solve the big problem of allowing long-time partners who have been working together for at least five years and some for nearly ten years to stay together without having to separate.

Although the military region is only discussing it now, Jackie Chan hopes it will eventually come to fruition.

Even though Brigade A is directly under the General Staff, large-scale personnel transfers are relatively complicated to handle because the military region does not have the actual authority to dispatch personnel.

Jackie Chan also hopes that the military region can find a way to overcome the difficulties and avoid regrets in his life.

Towards the end of the conversation, Jackie Chan specifically mentioned the matter of special recruitment.

The paper first mentions the crucial E5W system, then analyzes the First Division's strong demand for the E5W system, and finally summarizes the current shortage of talent.

It explains things in great detail, from specific points to a broader perspective, but the core requirement is just one thing—

Increase the number of special recruitment positions!

Minister Wang was aware of the difficulties faced by the First Division, and he also knew that the more advanced a military unit was, the more talent it needed, and that the value of knowledge was becoming increasingly important to the armed forces.

So even though there was no guarantee in person, they did say they would definitely try to find a way, with the first priority being to secure a special admission spot.

Jackie Chan couldn't force his superiors to express his needs as much as possible; that was the only thing he could do. The rest was up to the higher-ups to consider.

Just as the call was about to end, Minister Wang gave Jackie Chan some explosive news—

Takashiro is leaving!

He was not transferred to civilian work and left the military, but was transferred to the Linzhou Military Sub-district as the current commander.

The official document order was issued yesterday, and Minister Wang said that Gao Cheng should have received it by now and must report to the military region tomorrow morning.

Upon hearing the news, Jackie Chan rushed over immediately, wanting to see off his old company commander.

When they arrived at Takashiro's house, they found no one there!

Gao Cheng received the document yesterday, and within two hours, he quickly packed his personal belongings, grabbed a small bag, and went to the military district.

No one was notified, and no words were left behind.

He left quietly by himself!

Jackie Chan initially didn't quite understand why Gao Cheng chose to leave without saying goodbye and without informing anyone, but after thinking about it, he understood.

To everyone outside, becoming the commander of the military district was a sure promotion.

It can be upgraded in a year at most!

However, in Gao Cheng's mind, leaving the First Division meant he was a failure, proving that he was not capable enough to take on the job, which was why he had to go to other places.

Since it's such a shameful thing, there's no need to announce it in a big way.

Choose to leave quietly, without letting anyone know.

That was the last act of defiance from the higher-ups!

Since Gao Cheng doesn't want anyone to know, it means he doesn't want anyone to bother him, and Jackie Chan can only respect his choice.

Even though the Linzhou Military Sub-district is not far away, only an hour or two's drive away, Jackie Chan did not chase after it.

Let's put this matter to rest.

Once Gao Cheng has settled down in the military sub-district for a while, a better solution will surely emerge.

The Gaocheng incident has temporarily come to an end, and the special operations brigade has also gotten back on track. The brigade commanders who caused trouble have been dealt with.

After two days of handling official business, Jackie Chan decided to start warming up the E5W system ahead of schedule.

This is also a summary of the rectification efforts that took place some time ago!

The Information Battalion Commander, Long Xiaoyun, was tasked with inviting the commanders of the core battalions—the Missile Battalion, the Ground Artillery Battalion, the Army Aviation Battalion, the Shipping Battalion, the Armored Battalion, and the Special Operations Battalion—to a meeting at the Information Battalion's laboratory.

"Brother Long, I thought you were only calling me, but I didn't expect you to bring all the big shots. I was really disappointed." Bauerdav said glibly.

"Alright, stop flattering yourself. Even if it's just one person, it definitely won't be you," Liang Hang said with a sneer, showing no mercy.

"I was so excited when I got the invitation, but when I came over, all of you were here. Sigh." Gao Da looked regretful.

"What are you getting so excited about? If you ask me, you're just being a one-sided shrew," Boldav mocked.

"What are you saying? Heat travels from one end, and heat can be transferred. As long as I'm hot enough, nothing is impossible. You're just a roughneck like me, you definitely wouldn't understand such a profound concept," Gao Da retorted humorously.

"Stop joking around and sit down."

Long Xiaoyun had no way to deal with these guys, so she led them to the conference table in the laboratory and sat them down.

"Captain Long, why did you call us over? Is there some big plan?" Fang Yaqiu asked curiously, leaning back cautiously in her chair.

"Hey, something big is definitely going to happen, it might even be a Manchu Han Imperial Feast," Liang Hang laughed.

"With all of you together, I reckon you could go for ten hours straight without stopping."

Long Xiaoyun laughed and complained, then said seriously, "The main reason I invited you here is to discuss the E5W system."

"Oh, so that's what it is. No wonder you invited us to your labyrinth." Boldav's words had a hidden meaning.

"I didn't invite you here. I don't have the ability to bring all of you big shots to my little place."

After Long Xiaoyun finished speaking, she looked to her right, and a giant, burly man walked out as the valve opened.

The captains, who had been sitting haphazardly and laughing, immediately stood up and stopped smiling when they saw Jackie Chan walk out.

Judging from the reactions of the captains, Jackie Chan's recent crackdown has yielded remarkable results.

Even though the crackdown hasn't been fully completed yet, Fang Yaqiu, the shipping captain who slipped through the net, is still extremely respectful and dares not be careless.

Jackie Chan deliberately stood silently to the side, his stern face intimidating the entire audience for five seconds.

Suddenly, he called out, "Bourdaffer."

"arrive!"

Bourdaf suffered the most crushing defeat, but he was also the most respectful of Jackie Chan, showing a very proper attitude towards him and responding immediately by standing at attention.

Jackie Chan took out a box of chewing gum, threw it on the table, and it slid across the surface.

"chewing gum?"

Boldav caught the chewing gum, looking completely bewildered.

"This is a military area, smoking is not allowed. You guys are all heavy smokers, if you can't resist the urge to smoke, just chew some gum."

Jackie Chan's expression faltered as he spoke, and he burst into laughter, instantly thawing the tense atmosphere.

"Hehe, this has made me afraid to even breathe."

Bauerdaff was genuinely startled by Jackie Chan. He let out a long sigh of relief and chuckled, "Don't unwrap the chewing gum, or everyone will lose a piece."

"All of you captains are very busy people. It's not easy to get you all together. Such a grand occasion naturally means we must be discussing important matters."

Jackie Chan sat down at the head of the conference table, looked around at everyone, and said, "Today we will mainly talk about the development of the E5W system."

It wasn't a formal meeting, just a discussion where everyone could freely express their opinions and brainstorm ideas.

Whether you have complaints, feel there are problems, or have good suggestions or hope that something needs to be improved, you can speak up.

Since I'm the one who initiated the discussion, I'll take charge of starting it.

Do you think it's necessary to develop the E5W system?

The development of the E5W system was the reason why the captains had a collective conflict, and they were all punished by Jackie Chan in the end.

Now that Jackie Chan has brought up such a pointed topic, none of the captains present dared to respond.

Jackie Chan noticed that everyone was touching their heads and picking at their nails, engaging in all sorts of small actions, but no one stood up to express their opinion on the issue.

He then added, "If none of you have any objections, then I think the development of the E5W system is progressing far too slowly."

I know you're all not entirely convinced by me, and I understand your feelings.

In terms of individual combat ability, I'm not being arrogant, but even if you all came at me together, you wouldn't be a match for me. As for leading troops, none of you are inferior to me.

This is my first time leading troops as a commander, while you have all risen through the ranks by leading troops.

I can serve as the acting division commander. In theory, you are all qualified to serve as acting division commanders, both in terms of rank and seniority.

but……"

Jackie Chan raised his voice as he spoke, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present.
