Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Gao Da pointed out that ATO was the company that made the mistake first. Karls couldn't win the argument, so he resorted to shamelessness, saying, "I'm only in charge of the technology. I don't know anything else. I'm flying back tomorrow."

"Mr. Karls, now that you're here, you represent your company and should be responsible for the quality of your products," Gao Da solemnly declared.

"No, I would never debug software that doesn't belong to ATO, Mr. Gao. Whoever does something stupid will pay the price," Carls said seriously.

"Mr. Karls, the operating system is yours, are you just going to abandon it?" Gundam said just as seriously.

"I didn't say I wouldn't care."

Karls waved his hands repeatedly and corrected him, "We can debug it exactly as it was originally, and your equipment will still work."

"The old system is outdated and can't keep up anymore. We need to increase the computing speed. How can we still use the old system?" Gao Da said unhappily.

"If necessary, I can take the main unit back to ATO for upgrades and debugging, but I can only say that I am powerless to do so here."

Carls speaks Chinese fairly fluently, but some words are still quite awkward, making it sound rather comical.

Just as Carls was about to open the door to leave, Jackie Chan, carrying two bottles of Maotai liquor, appeared at the door as if it had been pre-arranged.

He deliberately held the two bottles of wine upside down so that Karl could see them clearly.

Then, pretending not to know anything, he greeted, "Good morning, Mr. Carls. I just got two bottles of good wine, and we're going to drink them together at noon."

For an alcoholic, the best thing is alcohol, especially their favorite kind of alcohol.

Karls stared wide-eyed at the two bottles of Moutai.

"Mr. Carls? How's the setup going? If it's finished, let's start drinking soon." Jackie Chan deliberately held the bottle up to Carls's face, waving it back and forth.

"Reporting to Commander Cheng."

Gundam Nima chimed in, "Mr. Karls said he's leaving soon, so we probably won't be able to have lunch together."

Like Boldav, Gundam habitually calls himself "Division Commander," without adding a "Deputy" or "Acting" prefix.

It is evident that Jackie Chan is the most suitable mentor in his heart. Only when he has a high degree of recognition in his heart will he say it unintentionally.

"No, no, no, Commander Cheng, now that you're here, we can have a drink first," Karl said with a smile.

"This is the best wine in China. How can Mr. Carl leave? Good wine is for the best guests. We must make sure you enjoy yourself," Jackie Chan said generously with a smile.

"You are a good friend, China's best friend."

Hearing that fine wine was being served to the best guest, Karls was even more delighted and excited.

"But now I think you don't seem willing to be my good friend." Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Jackie Chan began to pull the rod.

"I came to China to make friends. We should be friendly and happy."

As Carls spoke, he reached for Jackie Chan's drink, but Jackie Chan easily dodged it, teasing him, "I also hope we can be friendly, but you haven't finished your work yet, and you're already in a hurry to leave. Do you think that's friendly? I won't give my drink to a friend like that."

Karls was getting anxious as he realized he couldn't get his hands on the best wine.

He quickly explained, "It's not that I don't want to do my job, it's that they did something stupid and violated our agreement, which I can't accept."

"Mr. Carls."

Jackie Chan continued to pull back the lever, adding more force: "You are doing something very stupid right now. As a senior expert sent by ATO Company, you came to China to do technical work, but you can't even solve a small problem and you have to slink back home."

I'm going to demand an explanation from your ATO headquarters: why did you send us an expert who can't solve any problems and was completely drunk last night? How are you going to explain this?

Carls knew the company rules and regulations best, yet he got completely drunk while on a business trip, which is a serious violation of the company's bylaws.

When technical personnel represent the company abroad, they absolutely must remain rational and clear-headed.

Getting drunk is absolutely unacceptable.

Not to mention getting completely drunk and losing your mind.

If Jackie Chan really reports this, Carls will definitely have a hard time when he gets back; he might even be fired from the company.

Carls assumed that the military personnel in the country were unaware of these rules and regulations of their company.

But Jackie Chan brought it up now, proving that he understands foreign companies very well. Now that the other party has a handle on him, he can only negotiate with them properly.

"Mr. Jackie Chan."

Carls's expression became unusually humble. He pulled Jackie Chan aside and whispered, "The debugging work isn't impossible, but I don't need anyone else present. Could you please ask them to leave?"

"I understand, you need some peace and quiet, right? That's perfectly fine. I can come out with you, but I brought the drinks with me and wanted to have a couple with you. Now..."

Jackie Chan weighed the two bottles of fine wine in his hand, deliberately feigning a troubled expression.

When Carl heard that Jackie Chan could open the bottle now, he immediately forgot all about the company rules and his eyes lit up as he stared at the bottle.

He hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay, having a couple of drinks is good. Drinking makes us more efficient at work, and since you don't understand the technology, you can stay here without violating company rules."

I don't understand technology?

But I have an amazing memory!!

Jackie Chan's lips curled up when he heard this, knowing that things were about to be done.

He immediately ordered, "Captain Gao, go."

Gao Da, who had originally planned the scheme with Jackie Chan, immediately took everyone out after hearing Karls's request.

Jackie Chan was also very considerate; after Gao Da left, he closed the door and even locked it from the inside.

Then, pretending not to care, he picked up two glasses and took them to the computer tower with the wine. He opened the glasses slowly and casually, but kept his eyes glued to the computer screen.

Carls never expected that Jackie Chan, who was standing in front of him, was no ordinary person.

He not only knows a little about computers, but more importantly, he has a super memory; he can remember computer code after seeing it only once.

They completely treated Jackie Chan as an outsider and proceeded with their actions openly and confidently.

While pouring and opening the wine, Jackie Chan acted like a human video recorder, recording the entire process into his brain.

After Carls finally announced that the debugging was complete and all the equipment was ready for use.

Jackie Chan immediately handed Carl a glass of Moutai to thank him for his cooperation, and generously gave him the remaining unopened bottle.

Carls accepted the Moutai with obvious delight and showered Jackie Chan with compliments.

After sending Carls back to the guesthouse, Gao Da and Jackie Chan met up as planned, and Jackie Chan recounted Carls's actions.

"That's strange. This is exactly the same as our operating procedure, but it just doesn't work. We've tried so many times and it still won't work," Gao Da said, puzzled.

"I think the key is his CD. It's very likely a bootable program. Without it, even if you know all the operating procedures, you can't access the channels inside," Jackie Chan guessed.

"Then let's say..."

Gao Da frowned and said, "We have to get our hands on this disc, otherwise I'll have to go to them every time I upgrade."

Otherwise, there's no other way. It's not only extremely troublesome, but you'll also be constantly restricted by them, feeling completely constrained and unable to act freely.

Being controlled by others is indeed very unpleasant. These days, there are still many core aspects in China that are being held back by foreign technology.

"Yes, this problem definitely needs to be solved." Jackie Chan lowered his head and pondered.

"How about this, we steal the disc and make a copy?" Gao Da said excitedly.

"Haha, the solution is indeed feasible, but we are soldiers, how can we steal things? Besides, it will affect our cooperation with ATO."

Jackie Chan was amused by Gundam's audacity, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I think, how about this..."

"That's a good idea, I think it's a good idea."

Jackie Chan explained his method, and Gao Da excitedly agreed. Then, following Jackie Chan's advice, they began to set a trap for Kars.

Karls is not greedy or lustful. Although he is a bit cunning, he is actually quite loyal to Chinese principles and understands the Chinese concept of reciprocity.

His only weakness is his love of drinking!

Jackie Chan wanted to obtain the disc through normal channels, and his method was to exploit Carl's weakness by launching a relentless attack with sweet talk.

It might cost a little money during the process, but it's worth it no matter how much it costs for the discs.

So Jackie Chan took his bank card, went to the bank and withdrew a whole year's salary, using it all to buy Charles's favorite Maotai liquor.

They got four cases, totaling more than twenty bottles.

Over the next few days, Gao Da invited Kars in various ways every day, organizing ordinary people to accompany him to drink his favorite Moutai liquor.

After drinking nearly two cases of Moutai over three days in a year, Jackie Chan personally organized a meeting to close the net.

The meeting was held to celebrate the successful resolution of the compatibility issues between the Red Shield Type 5 control system and the E5W system, and to prepare for Karls' return to China.

Jackie Chan brought over two cases of Moutai liquor and gave them to Carls as a gift.

Gao Da, who had already discussed it beforehand, immediately stood up and said in a double act, "Our Commander Cheng has given such a big gift. According to our Chinese tradition, Mr. Karl, you must give a return gift."

At this moment, Bao Erdafu, Long Xiaoyun, and others who were drinking with him also stood up and started making a fuss.

In this atmosphere, Karls felt it would be awkward not to do something, so he took off his pen and placed it on the table as a gesture of return.

"Mr. Karls, I have no shortage of pens." Shenlong shook his head and did not take it.

When Carls saw the two cases of Moutai liquor piled on the table, he felt that his pen was indeed a bit shabby, so he took out a wad of US dollars from his pocket.

Judging by its thickness, it must be at least several hundred US dollars.

"This is China, US dollars are useless to me." Jackie Chan still shook his head with a smile.

Carls had no choice but to grit his teeth, take off his gold watch, and put it together with the US dollars, signifying that he was giving it all to Jackie Chan.

"I'm a soldier, so I can't wear accessories. It's a real dilemma. I want something that I can actually use." Jackie Chan deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

Carls was already in his fifties, and after Jackie Chan's reminder, how could he not understand the meaning?

As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to him; he who eats a man's food is bound to

Carls has eaten and taken everything, and his mouth and hands are now much shorter. He's already at the point of no return, with no other options.

There's really no other way.

Karl could only reluctantly take out the CD and said in a seemingly relaxed manner, "This is the most popular music right now. I hope Mr. Jackie Chan will like it."

"Pop music?"

Jackie Chan immediately understood the words on the disc, took it, and smiled, saying, "These are my favorite pop songs. Thank you, thank you very much."

Long Xiaoyun took the opportunity to stand up and raise her glass to toast Carls, trying to attract his attention.

Jackie Chan handed the disc to Gundam. Without a word, Gundam immediately rushed back to copy the disc.

With the system upgrade serial number, future system upgrades will no longer be hindered.

The day after Jackie Chan returned to China from Carls, he immediately organized the missile squadron to conduct live-fire target practice using an upgraded control system compatible with the E5W system.

Wu Yiwen and Lu Yunhe, as division commander and political commissar, personally went to the site to watch the live-fire target practice.

The shooting results were very encouraging!

Not only were both air and sea interceptions successful, achieving a perfect 100% interception rate, but the reaction time was also shortened by up to eight seconds, doubling the actual combat efficiency.

Wu Yiwen did nothing in the process, but he was given the title of division commander without any real involvement.

However, this did not prevent him from praising the Gundam in his capacity as a division commander: "Very good, very good. Your missile battalion has achieved a breakthrough in technological training. Congratulations! You should be commended."

The political commissar also praised them, saying, "You have boldly put your ideas into practice and dared to innovate, breaking through the forbidden zones. That's remarkable! On behalf of the division's Party Committee, I congratulate you."

"Thank you, Commander!" Gao Da stood at attention, enjoying the fruits of his success.

"Deputy Division Commander Cheng, aren't you going to say something? You organized this live-fire exercise, and the E5W system achieved a victory. Shouldn't you say something?"

Everyone knows that Jackie Chan deserves the most credit, but Wu Yiwen is playing the good guy by deliberately mentioning Jackie Chan at this time.

"I think I don't need to say anything more."

Jackie Chan's words were loaded with meaning, and those in the audience who understood them all understood. He then added, "The successful integration of the Red Shield 5 and the E5W system has already demonstrated a lot and proved that our approach is correct."

"Deputy Division Commander Cheng, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the missile battalion, I thank you," Gao Da said solemnly.

Gao Da knew better than anyone who was the key to this victory, which is why he specifically thanked Jackie Chan at this moment.

"If I had to say thank you, it would be Captain Long's E5W; that's the real key."

Jackie Chan is not someone who seeks credit for others. People who make contributions deserve praise, especially those who work behind the scenes. They should be singled out and commended.

"Let's go, Political Commissar, let's go check out the other brigades."

Wu Yiwen didn't want to share the credit with the captain, so he immediately changed the subject and left with his men. (End of Chapter)
