Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

The welcoming procession along the roadside was very long, stretching from the main gate through the entire camp area, with many red banners strung along the way.

It read, "Welcome Comrade Jing Xiaoshu!"

Jing Xiaoshu had never seen such a welcoming procession of over a hundred people in the military before, let alone one where he was the one being welcomed. How could he not be shocked and bewildered?

Just as Jing Xiaoshu was stunned by the scene and stood there dumbfounded for a moment.

Long Xiaoyun came out with two officers, walked up to Jing Xiaoshu with a smile, saluted and said, "Welcome, Comrade Jing Xiaoshu."

Jing Xiaoshu didn't know how to reciprocate, and was still in a state of shock and confusion from the scale of the event.

All I could do was bow in return!

To show that he was sincere enough, he even bent over at an angle of more than 90 degrees.

"You're a soldier now, you don't need to bow, just salute from now on."

Long Xiaoyun smiled and corrected him, then turned to face the large welcoming crowd and introduced, "This is the famous computer software expert, Comrade Jing Xiaoshu. Please welcome him."

Clapping sounds...

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted, and the prepared gongs and drums began to beat.

The scene was quite lively.

Amidst continuous applause and the deafening beat of drums, Jing Xiaoshu passed through a long queue and was led to the most crucial and core laboratory, the office of Captain Long Xiaoyun.

Jing Xiaoshu was indeed shocked by the scene, but he was still a little confused.

Now that there were only three people in the office, Jing Xiaoshu was finally less nervous. She swallowed and said, "Captain Long... Captain Long, actually I... actually I didn't expect..."

"Now, please welcome Captain Long to announce the appointments."

Qu Ying forcefully interrupted Jing Xiaoshu, and Long Xiaoyun, who had already planned ahead, stood up and announced: "After deliberation by the First Division Headquarters, it has been decided that Jing Xiaoshu is hereby appointed as the third-year director of the Digital Technology Research Institute of the Information Brigade, and is awarded the rank of major."

"Director?? A battalion commander??"

Jing Xiaoshu was brought in almost forcibly. She was still a little resentful, but when she heard that she was given the position of director as soon as she arrived, she couldn't help but stand up in surprise.

Happiness spontaneously transformed into a smile, which couldn't help but spread across the corners of her mouth.

Seeing Jing Xiaoshu's expression, Long Xiaoyun knew that the matter was settled, and immediately followed up with, "Please invite Director Jing to visit your research institute."

The emphasis on the word "retreat" highlights Long Xiaoyun's mastery of language.

The effect is indeed very obvious.

Jing Xiaoshu's smile deepened instantly.

"plz follow me."

Long Xiaoyun gave a look, and Qu Ying immediately understood. She led Jing Xiaoshu out of the office, turned left after leaving the building, took two steps, and entered the Third Research Institute.

All I could see were technicians wearing camouflage inner layers and white lab coats, intently operating their computers; their technical skills and professionalism were palpable.

At this moment, Jing Xiaoshu's last hesitation completely vanished.

Following closely behind, Long Xiaoyun personally introduced: "The main task of the Third Research Laboratory is to research and develop the core technologies of the E5W system, primarily applicable to the First Division's combined command and simulation control platform..."

As a top performer in this field, Long Xiaoyun's introduction flowed smoothly, highlighting the ultimate allure of each point.

Not to mention industry professionals, even bystanders were swayed by the story.

Jing Xiaoshu is a leader in this industry. His favorite job is software development, but he has never met a mentor.

Now he has received such high attention from the military, and they have even given him such a large research lab.

The most important thing is to be the director of the research lab.

It's important to understand that in research labs outside the lab, becoming the head or director is extremely difficult; without connections and influence, it's very hard to reach that position.

For someone like Jing Xiaoshu to become a director so soon after arriving is simply wishful thinking.

But this impossible thing has now actually happened before my eyes, and I am the person involved in it.

Jing Xiaoshu fell for him without any surprise!

Seeing that Jing Xiaoshu had been completely seduced and no longer had any intention of leaving, the next step was to keep her as a mistress.

To keep a mistress in a golden house, you need a house.

Jing Xiaoshu was then led to a clean and tidy dormitory room, which was about forty square meters in size and had all the basic furniture.

"Comrade Jing Xiaoshu, this is your dormitory. What do you think? Are you satisfied?" Long Xiaoyun said.

"I live here all by myself?" Jing Xiaoshu asked in disbelief.

You should know that after he returned from the United States, he was heavily in debt and lived a very frugal life, living in a very shabby place.

I live in a stairwell, where I can't even stand up. I have to bend over to get around every day.

Suddenly being moved to such a large single room was like going from hell to heaven for him; he must have felt extremely unreal.

"Yes, starting today, this house is yours to use," Long Xiaoyun nodded.

"Captain Long, I think..."

Jing Xiaoshu was flattered and felt unworthy of him. He was being too kind to him and wanted to refuse the suite, but Long Xiaoyun interrupted him.

"This is the treatment you deserve. Just stay here and relax. If you don't adapt or anything happens, we won't force you. You can work here for a year at most."

Long Xiaoyun gave Jing Xiaoshu plenty of space, and then went on to explain, "Once the project is completed and put into official use, you will have the option to keep it or leave it."

"Okay, I understand."

Hearing that she could choose for herself, Jing Xiaoshu was even more satisfied with the job.

That's right.

For Jing Xiaoshu now, being a soldier is just a job, not a responsibility, let alone an honor or a mission.

He is skilled in and enjoys software development, and his work environment and conditions are excellent.

This is his dream job!

Upon hearing Jing Xiaoshu's final decision, Qu Ying, who was standing to the side, opened the briefcase she had brought and took out a large square packaged in kraft paper.

"And this is for you, according to the terms we agreed on. Please keep it safe."

Qu Ying handed over the money and placed it in Jing Xiaoshu's arms.

Jing Xiaoshu opened the kraft paper, and inside were indeed stacks of bundled hundred-yuan bills, ten stacks in total, a total of one hundred thousand yuan.

But what's intriguing is...

Jing Xiaoshu, who was extremely eager for the future, did not feel overjoyed when she saw the 100,000 yuan. Instead, her smile slowly disappeared.

Long Xiaoyun thought Jing Xiaoshu was dissatisfied with something, so she quickly asked, "Director Jing, do you have any other requests? Please feel free to make them."

"Sigh~"

Jing Xiaoshu sighed, bit her lip, and said with a complicated expression, "You've thought of everything I could think of. Thank you very much."

However, I can't accept this money. I can pay back my own debts.

After Jing Xiaoshu finished speaking, he stood up and tried to put the money in Long Xiaoyun's hand, but Long Xiaoyun stopped him and smiled, "Pay off your debt first. Once you've paid off your debt, you won't have any psychological pressure, and you'll be able to work better, right?"

Accepting this money is helping you, but it's also helping us.

After speaking, Long Xiaoyun didn't give Jing Xiaoshu a chance and called Qu Ying to walk towards the door.

Jing Xiaoshu watched the two leave, then looked at the 100,000 yuan in her arms. Her expression was still very complicated, but she did not chase after them to return it.

It was clearly Long Xiaoyun's words: "Only after paying off the debt can you work better," and Jing Xiaoshu completely agreed.

The military and civilian sectors are very different.

Having arranged Jing Xiaoshu's work and residence, her journey has only just begun; a whole host of other small matters await her.

Although Long Xiaoyun arranged for someone to handle things like getting clothes and daily necessities on her behalf.

However, things like getting familiar with the various parts of the camp, where to eat, where to hold meetings, where to wash clothes, and where to get a haircut, all required Jing Xiaoshu to do in person.

Therefore, Jing Xiaoshu did not work in the afternoon and did not come to work at the Third Research Institute until the next day.

Long Xiaoyun highly values ​​Jing Xiaoshu's talent. The E5W system still needs him to take charge, so on Jing Xiaoshu's first day at work, she specially took the time to come and take care of him.

"Director Jing, you look much more energetic after this haircut," Long Xiaoyun praised upon meeting him.

"Oh, I felt it myself too."

Jing Xiaoshu really liked being called Director Jing, and her smile was exceptionally bright and sunny.

"I have something to tell you. I'll have Qu Ying send someone over in a bit to teach you some basic rules and regulations. Study them carefully," Long Xiaoyun said.

"I already know all of this, so I probably don't need to learn it," Jing Xiaoshu said confidently.

"You knew all that?" Long Xiaoyun was surprised.

"I learned this in middle school. It means to obey orders in all actions and not to take a single needle or thread from the masses."

"Hahaha."

Jing Xiaoshu's words amused Long Xiaoyun, who explained, "What you're talking about is the Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention, but that's only one of them. There are many other specific regulations in the military."

For example, disciplinary regulations, drill regulations, and internal affairs regulations, etc.

I don't expect you to learn everything immediately, but you should familiarize yourself with it first. At least you should know how to stand at attention, stand at ease, salute, and report, etc. These are all daily necessities.

"When you came yesterday, you didn't know how to salute. You just bowed to everyone you saw, making yourself look like a Japanese person."

"hey-hey."

Jing Xiaoshu smiled awkwardly and said, "That's true. I just joined the army, and I'm still very unfamiliar with this place. There are indeed many things I don't know."

"That way, I'll start learning right away, otherwise when I go out, people will say I'm a fake soldier, haha."

Jing Xiaoshu laughed self-deprecatingly, but Long Xiaoyun corrected him very seriously: "Fake soldier? No, I believe you will become a qualified soldier."

"Yes, I believe it too."

Jing Xiaoshu laughed and, full of energy, immediately threw herself into her work, saying, "Captain Long, this morning I roughly went through all the information and data, and I found that our data compression method seems to be a bit outdated."

I recommend adopting the latest VW331 compression method, which can double the data storage capacity and increase the processing speed tenfold.

Furthermore, the programming design can be greatly simplified, significantly shortening the development cycle.

Jing Xiaoshu had only been officially working for half a day when she was able to raise questions on such an important topic, making Long Xiaoyun feel even more that she had found a treasure.

Sitting next to him, he said in detail, "We've considered what you're talking about before."

However, there are very few people in China who possess this technology, and it's impossible to find anyone to develop it. Even if we wanted to use it, we couldn't, so it wasn't adopted.

There are better ones, you know there are better ones, but you can't use them and can only use the old ones.

Technological limitations are such a headache!

"I can handle it. When I was studying in the United States, my advisor was a partner in the VW331 system research, and I participated in its development," Jing Xiaoshu said.

"real?"

Long Xiaoyun's eyes gleamed.

The VW331 system is top-tier American technology and is on the restricted sales list. It has never been open to the Chinese public, so even if you wanted it, you couldn't get it.

It was unexpected that Jing Xiaoshu knew this technology; how could one not be overjoyed?

"Of course it's true. The Kosovo War game I made for you used this technology in part. I've mastered it very well, and it works perfectly fine on the E5W system," Jing Xiaoshu said, patting his chest.

"No wonder such a large amount of video data can be stored on CDs, and the image quality is very high with almost no loss."

Long Xiaoyun suddenly realized and immediately made a decision: "I think we shouldn't hesitate. You should take the lead and switch the entire E5W system to VW331."

"The workload for making all the changes is huge. Is there enough time?" Jing Xiaoshu asked worriedly.

"Can you transfer all the existing programmers from our information brigade to you and organize the project to solve this problem?" Long Xiaoyun said.

"There are hundreds of people in the lab, and there should be dozens of programmers. If we organize them all together, that should be about right," Jing Xiaoshu said.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you. I'll go down and arrange someone for you right away."

Long Xiaoyun was also a capable person. After speaking, she got up and left the Third Research Lab to go to other research labs to organize and schedule program designers.

With the addition of the VW331 system, the successful research and development of the E5W system is a foregone conclusion.

Before the E5W system is successfully developed and fully implemented, one crucial task is to ensure that the entire division highly recognizes and accepts the E5W system.

Previously, Jackie Chan had only managed to subdue a few of the more aggressive captains through his personal abilities.

The lower-level officers and soldiers also had both support and opposition.

It is essential to make these opposing officers and soldiers understand the importance and significance of the E5W system to the First Division, and to make the women in the division accept the E5W system.

So, after Jackie Chan learned that Long Xiaoyun had successfully gotten Jing Xiaoshu into the Information Brigade,

Jackie Chan immediately organized a meeting with all officers at the company level and above in the division to hold the first in-depth discussion meeting on the E5W system, in order to formally promote the E5W system to the entire division.

Long Xiaoyun was fully in charge of this project, and naturally, she was also the main speaker promoting it.

And he was the only one!

Whether it was Division Commander Cheng Long and Political Commissar Lu Yunhe, or other battalion commanders and standing committee members, they could only sit in the audience.
