Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Gao Da's analysis is quite insightful, and he has enough confidence in Jackie Chan.

"I'm not as optimistic as you."

Long Xiaoyun still looked worried and said, "Jackie Chan's other problems are easy to solve, but his lifestyle issues are the only problem. It's impossible to explain why he would use his position for personal gain."

"How many times have I reminded you to manage your distance and identity, and to distinguish between work and life? But you wouldn't listen. Now you're choking on this."

Gao Da appears to be disappointed in Gao Da, but he actually has his own selfish motives.

After all, he's a competitor of Jackie Chan!

"Then tell me, what should I do now?" Long Xiaoyun had no other choice but to try anything as a last resort.

"I'll tell you a way," Gao Da said mysteriously, keeping everyone in suspense.

"What method?" Long Xiaoyun asked.

"The solution is..."

Gao Da put on his hat, stood up, and said, "Say goodbye to being single as soon as possible, and these problems will be solved."

Because Gao Da was talking about himself, he was afraid that Long Xiaoyun would be angry, so he immediately walked out after speaking, walking very fast without stopping.

Long Xiaoyun was stunned by this idea and stood there for a long time without reacting.

"Should I really...?"

After a long while, Long Xiaoyun came to her senses and remembered that Political Commissar Lu had said the same thing. Her thoughts were uncontrollably drawn to this topic.

Let's assume that she and Jackie Chan actually got together and became husband and wife.

That issue of lifestyle is not a problem at all.

It's perfectly normal for a husband and wife to take care of each other and help each other with their work. If there's a slight bias, that's perfectly normal.

Outsiders have absolutely nothing to say!

Thinking about how she could help Jackie Chan solve a big problem, Long Xiaoyun's face suddenly turned red. At that moment, Long Xiaoyun was genuinely moved.

But marriage is something that men usually take the initiative to do, so it's best if he takes the initiative to bring it up.

Long Xiaoyun was discouraged again!

How could she possibly say that?

……

Division Headquarters Guesthouse.

Deputy Commander Zhong got up early in the morning, listened to the birds chirping, and leisurely watered the flowers in the corridor with a small watering can.

"Sir, Director Zhang from the Party Office called and asked you to return as soon as possible. He said that headquarters has notified you to participate in a military delegation's overseas visit," Minister Wang said as he walked over.

"This is a great opportunity to go out and broaden our horizons."

Deputy Commander Zhong was quite pleased with the news, and in a better mood, he asked, "Hey, how's Jackie Chan's mood? Is he able to get over it?"

"I went to see him, and he seemed relatively calm. I think he'll come to his senses," Minister Wang said.

"A cadre, especially a mid- to high-ranking cadre, who can only take a smooth and easy path in his life and cannot tolerate any setbacks or grievances, will never achieve great things. In particular, modern warfare is complex and ever-changing, and the psychological qualities required of a commander are becoming increasingly demanding."

Deputy Commander Zhong's words sounded neutral, but in fact they revealed a great deal of information.

And they're all for Jackie Chan's benefit!

"So, does the chief mean... to intentionally give him a good beating?" Minister Wang asked curiously.

"It's not that I did it on purpose, but I had to teach him a lesson. He got arrogant after achieving some success, and I wanted to give him a cold shower to cool him down. In trendy terms, I wanted to make him sober up and stop him from losing his way."

Deputy Commander Zhong didn't hide his thoughts either, and after finishing speaking, he added, "This time, none of us should help him up; let's just leave it to fate."

If he is truly devastated by this small setback and never recovers, then it truly proves that he does not possess the qualities and qualifications to be the commander of the First Division.

If he can pull through this, it will prove that our judgment was correct.

Deputy Commander Chung has basically made his position clear: he intends to use Wu Yiwen as a stepping stone for Cheng Long, to train Cheng Long into a qualified division commander.

Minister Wang's anxiety was finally relieved at that moment.

He smiled and said, "Commander, your judgment has never been wrong, and I think it won't be wrong this time either. Jackie Chan will definitely not let you down."

"Actually..."

Deputy Commander Zhong put down the watering can and said as he walked back to the dormitory, "In a sense, who gets promoted and who gets demoted doesn't depend on the leaders, but on themselves, on whether they can seize the opportunity."

"Well, let's wait and see."

After finishing his sentence, Minister Wang changed the subject and asked, "Sir, shall we leave this afternoon?"

"I'll go back first, you stay." Deputy Commander Zhong went into the dormitory and went straight to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"Should I stay?" Minister Wang asked, puzzled.

"Yes, you stay."

Deputy Commander Zhong wiped his hands with a towel as he walked into the living room and said, "The First Division is currently at a critical moment. You stay and give them some encouragement."

We'll try to understand the situation more thoroughly, and if we can resolve it, we'll help.

Especially those specially recruited individuals, the ones Jackie Chan recruited even though it violated regulations—go and investigate them further. If they're truly talented, it would be a real shame to lose them.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Minister Wang nodded to indicate that he had received the message, and then turned and left to attend to his business.

……

This is the first time Jackie Chan has had a day off since he came to the First Division a few months ago. He doesn't have to worry about anything and he's a little unaccustomed to waking up so early in the morning.

but.

Jackie Chan has seen it all, and he's someone who can remain calm even amidst a pile of corpses. There's no difficulty that can defeat him.

So in less than an hour, Jackie Chan was completely recovered.

Thinking that it had been a long time since I had gotten together with my brothers, I decided to go to the special operations squadron's camp to spend a good day with my good brothers Cheng Cai, Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi, and Wu Zhe.

Unexpectedly, this stay not only allowed me to catch up with my brothers, but also taught me some new things.

Because when I was the division commander, I had to manage the entire division, and there were just too many things to do, so I couldn't take care of the special operations squadron at all.

Now that the burden on our shoulders has been lifted, we realize that the special operations squadron has also changed a lot.

The biggest change is the special operations brigade mentioned earlier. Its formation is nearing completion, and some official orders have already been issued.

Among them are plans to expand special operations squadrons into battalions, and plans to incorporate the entire communications battalion into special operations battalions.

Even the selection process for special operations brigades has now been launched in full swing at various grassroots levels to select outstanding candidates for the special operations brigades.

Therefore, the special operations squadron has been very busy lately, focusing on training the communications battalion, which forms the backbone of the special operations brigade.

Furthermore, the usual elimination system was adopted, and those who could not keep up with the training progress would be eliminated, leaving only those who completed the training and passed.

The soldiers in the proficiency battalion also worked very hard, not wanting to miss this rare opportunity.

It's important to know that others joining the special operations forces need to be selected and promoted step by step from the grassroots level, going through various hardships before they can reach the special operations brigade.

The difficulty is comparable to eighty-one tribulations!

The police communications battalion serves as the core of the special operations brigade. They do not need to go through rigorous selection processes; it's like going directly from an affiliated middle school to high school.

The selection process is much easier and less demanding than the selection process at the grassroots level.

Being a special forces soldier is every soldier's dream. With such a great opportunity right in front of them, how could the soldiers of the communications battalion not risk their lives?

The soldiers below were training like their lives depended on it, so naturally the senior officers above couldn't afford to be idle either.

They have to teach them.

The police communications battalion has several hundred people. Forty senior officers may sound like a lot, but in reality, it's far from enough. Everyone has a lot of work to do.

This meant that even when Jackie Chan went to the special forces unit for relaxation, he couldn't leisurely drink and chat.

He could only run around to different training grounds, chat with Wu Liuyi here, then find Xu Sanduo to chat with in another place, and then go to find Wu Zhe.

Although running around all over the place was indeed a bit of a hassle, Jackie Chan was very happy to see his brothers working so hard.

The First Division's continued prosperity is more important than anything else.

……

Compared to Jackie Chan's constant travels and "enjoying life," it was Lung Siu-yun who suffered the most.

Inspired by Gao Da's words and recalling what Political Commissar Lu had said, she thought of helping Jackie Chan overcome his difficulties and return to his position as division commander.

Long Xiaoyun sat in the office all day, not leaving until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

I'm just thinking about whether or not to submit a report!

Make the relationship public!

As Long Xiaoyun's best friend, comrade-in-arms, and most competent deputy captain, Qu Ying was worried about Long Xiaoyun and specially took him out for a walk at night to clear his head.

"Long Da, you must not listen to what those gossipy people are saying," Qu Ying advised.

"I can't avoid listening even if I want to. People's opinions are a fearsome thing. It doesn't affect me much, and I can handle it, but I can't let others get hurt," Long Xiaoyun said.

"I know who you're talking about. I can prove you're innocent. Should I file a report?" Qu Ying said naively.

"You can't prove it."

Long Xiaoyun was amused, then sighed, "Qu Ying, do you think women should fall in love and get married early so they can maintain a sense of purity in the eyes of others and avoid implicating others?"

"Maybe so."

Qu Ying didn't understand love and marriage either. She was also looking forward to it herself, and could only say in a way that he could understand: "But love and marriage also require love. A marriage without love is definitely cruel."

Have you read Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem? She said, "Hold fast to your dreams with your pure hands, and never let them slip away."

"Yeah?"

Long Xiaoyun seemed to have been inspired by something, and walked forward with her eyes glazed over.

"I believe love is a rare destiny, and once it appears, you must cherish it and try to seize it, so as not to regret it later."

Qu Ying's words seemed to be directed at herself, but in reality, they were a hint to Long Xiaoyun.

She genuinely believed that Jackie Chan and Long Xiaoyun were a perfect couple, so she hoped to do everything in her power to ensure that Long Xiaoyun would have no regrets.

Long Xiaoyun was indeed swayed by what she said, and An'an made a decision in her heart.

After parting ways with Qu Ying, Long Xiaoyun returned to her office and began typing slowly on her computer, taking a long time to type just two lines.

The words "Relationship Report" were prominently displayed at the top of the page.

The content can be summarized in two sentences—

Division commander.

After getting to know each other, Jackie Chan's colleague and I have decided to officially establish a romantic relationship. Please grant us your approval.

At the very bottom is the applicant's name.

After finishing typing the report, Long Xiaoyun let out a long sigh, as if she had completed a difficult task, and then chose to print it out.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

With a soft click from the printer, the love report was printed out.

Long Xiaoyun placed the pen in the applicant's column, her expression complex as she hesitated for a long time before finally biting her lip and making her decision.

With a few quick strokes, he wrote down Long Xiaoyun's name.

The most difficult first step has been completed. The next two steps will also be very difficult, the least difficult for Long Xiaoyun.

The main issue is losing face and feeling shy.

This report is not valid if only one person signs it; it also needs to be signed by the other party, Jackie Chan, for the relationship report to officially take effect.

Next, this report must be delivered to Political Commissar Lu through the proper procedures.

Thinking that he should take the initiative to submit this relationship report, which he had drafted himself, to Jackie Chan for his signature without prior notice.

Long Xiaoyun panicked, and her face instantly turned redder than a monkey's bottom.

How do I get it to Jackie Chan for his signature?

This became a major problem for Long Xiaoyun!

However, before Long Xiaoyun could go to find Jackie Chan, Wu Yiwen, in his capacity as acting division commander, convened a formal meeting with all the team leaders.

There wasn't any formal plan or arrangement; it was just a matter of having each brigade report on the situation.

It's as if they're doing it to enjoy the influence of their teachers!

When the pointless meeting ended, all the team leaders were uninterested and felt it was a waste of time, except for Wu Yiwen, who had a big smile on his face.

Previously, when I went to see Gundam as the deputy division commander, I was met with a cold shoulder from Gundam and there was nothing I could do.

Now that he's finally a division commander, even if it's just an acting one, he doesn't need to go looking for him personally; one phone call and he'll come running over quickly.

He really enjoyed this feeling!

When Wu Yiwen returned to the director's office, he found Gui Pingyuan sitting in his division commander's seat, legs crossed, looking at the documents on the table.

This incident clearly demonstrates just how smug Guipingyuan is right now.

Wu Yiwen now really likes Guipingyuan, so he wasn't angry about it. Instead, he jokingly said with a smile, "What? You want to take my seat?"

"Oh dear, Commander Wu, how could I dare? I wouldn't dare even if you gave me ten lives."

Gui Pingyuan quickly stood up to give up his seat, then changed the subject, saying, "Commander Wu, I heard that the engineering battalion is doing a great job with its homemade side dishes. Each company can pickle dozens of different kinds of pickled vegetables, and the soldiers are very satisfied."

"Okay, is there a report?" Wu Yiwen asked with great interest.

Yes, yes, yes.

Gui Pingyuan immediately opened the briefcase he had brought, took out some documents, and said, "These are the ingredients; the various pickled vegetables are clearly listed."

"Very good, very good. Let's go take a look. If it's really good, let's summarize the experience and let all the other teams learn from them."

Wu Yiwen made the decision and decided to make this the first practical thing he would do as division commander.

When Jackie Chan was the commander of the division, he was always focused on strengthening the army and the military. He was either conducting training or thinking about how to improve training.

But Wu Yiwen, the division commander, was quite something; he immediately started a large-scale study on pickled vegetables.

This comparison.

That's really hilarious!
