Episode 14 of Season 1 Special Recruitment

  "But...considering Chen Yang and Sun Erpao's special background, I think they can be considered as special recruits for this selection, along with the top 30 soldiers who will participate in special training. However, I think you all understand that we're not looking for ordinary special forces soldiers. Twelve people are enough to form an elite special operations team, so even if you pass here, you might be sent back after a few days."

  Chen Yang and Sun Erpao were both stunned, originally thinking they would be sent back immediately. But unexpectedly, a single sentence from the Major changed their identities - Special Recruits! Chen Yang's heart finally felt at ease, he wouldn't have to go back to feeding pigs. Sun Erpao laughed, and Chen Yang couldn't help but secretly poke him, not expecting this rascal to turn around with a smile and whisper to Chen Yang: "It's great now, I heard the food for special forces is based on air force standards..."

  The veins on Chen Yang's neck bulged with rage, and he couldn't help but want to lash out at him. However, it was clear that now wasn't the time, after all, there were too many people watching them from below the stage. Chen Yang subsequently puffed out his chest, raised his head, and expressionlessly stared at the warriors below the stage.

  The brigadier general, who had hesitated for a moment on the platform, continued: "In accordance with the principle of voluntariness, soldiers who are now in the top 30 can step out! You can think carefully about whether you want to be this special soldier, because what awaits you is not only arduous training, but also danger. If anyone wants to quit, just turn around and return to your unit."

  After a moment of silence, no one moved. Shao Jiang waved his hand: "Alright, those who passed the assessment will stay, and the rest can disperse."

  When those eliminated warriors left the field, the lieutenant colonel who was closing his eyes beside the major general suddenly opened his eyes and gave a fierce kick to the major general's buttocks. The major general seemed to have expected this and rushed out as soon as the lieutenant colonel lifted his foot.

  The warriors couldn't help but take a cold breath, and the strange thing was that it happened every year, only this year there were more. The regiment commander kicked the lieutenant general's butt in front of so many people! This was even more shocking than Chen Yang and Sun Erpao scolding the lieutenant general, after all, those two were just superior soldiers, at most they would be discharged early, but the regiment commander was different, if a lieutenant general made trouble for the regiment commander, then the regiment commander's days...

  What's even more surprising is that the young general not only didn't show any anger on his face, but instead smiled wryly and said: "Old squad leader, I knew you'd come to this point. Please, consider the occasion, okay? Look, I'm also a young general now, if this gets out, it's too... embarrassing..."

  The lean middle-aged man raised his eyebrows: "Less nonsense, considering you still have some conscience and didn't send these two kids away, I won't bother with you. However, Old Li and I recently heard that the Maotai in your place are all boxed up..."

  The lieutenant colonel hastily interrupted the regimental commander's words: "Rumors! Absolutely rumors, old squad leader, if you want to drink wine, I'll buy it for you, but I really don't have a whole box of Maotai..."

  Colonel Zhang laughed: "I don't care, anyway I want to be a box of Maotai." Another colonel also came over and joked: "Hmmm, General Zhao is a good comrade, naturally won't be thick-skinned and thin-skinned... Hmmm, I can smell the wine already..."

  The lieutenant general lost, with a black line on his face, agreed to send a box of Maotai to each of the two lieutenant colonels. When the two lieutenant colonels walked away with satisfaction and sat down in the back, the lieutenant general turned around, looking at the stunned soldiers and shouted: "Listen to the order! Everyone has it, all the soldiers present are not allowed to reveal any of what happened just now, otherwise you will be sent to the military court!"

  "Yes!"

  In the midst of the warriors' responses, Sun Erpao pulled Chen Yang: "Isn't it just General sending two boxes of wine to Colonel? Why keep it a secret?" Chen Yang shook his sleeve: "Because General's wife loves drinking, General sent the wine to someone else, and his wife will get angry." Sun Erpao suddenly realized: "So that's how it is..." But then he quickly understood: "Chen Yang, you rascal, tricking me..."

  At this time, the lieutenant general on the stage seemed to have heard something and turned his head to look at Chen Yang and Sun Erpao: "You two, return to your team!" Then he looked at the people below and said: "Now everyone present should be considered elite in their respective brigades. However, physical condition is just a basic condition. Next, there's an internal test to see your wisdom. If someone's IQ is too low, then hurry up and get out of here, so as not to waste time."

  The lieutenant general finished speaking and turned to leave, while Chen Yang's angle just happened to see the lieutenant general make a gesture to those two lieutenant colonels, so they all left. At this time, only two people were left on the stage, one of whom was the lieutenant colonel who announced the results, and the other was a white-faced, beardless middle-aged man who looked refined and courteous. However, looking at his shoulder epaulets, it was surprisingly just a lieutenant, which made the soldiers who had seen all the double-striped officers here suddenly relax, thinking that the big officials were gone, and now they were being assessed by only a lieutenant.

  But they seem to have forgotten that 80% of them are just senior privates at most, with the highest being only one first-class non-commissioned officer.

  They called each person into a room separately for an IQ test, which made these warriors feel somewhat ridiculous. However, when these warriors came out of that small room, their faces were one uglier than the other. Chen Yang, who couldn't bear his curiosity, still asked cautiously about the test questions, but unexpectedly everyone had a righteous face and said: "Cannot disclose secrets!"

  Chen Yang, who had a slight sense of unease in his heart, didn't know if it was a coincidence that he was assigned to the last one. When he saw Sun Erpao coming out of the house with a face full of excitement, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and pulled Sun Erpao over: "What did they ask you inside?"

  Sun Erpao looked at the people on both sides with a mysterious expression, and said in a low voice: "Chen Yang, since you are similar to me, I will tell you that the test questions inside are not difficult at all. The examiner is neurotic, and the questions he comes up with are simply inexplicable. However, don't mind him, just say you're done, and he'll say you've passed..."

  "Cut the nonsense and get to the point!" Chen Yang urged, looking at the dwindling number of people.

  Sun Erpao gave Chen Yang a white eye: "The lieutenant asked me, a certain department wants to recruit an intelligence officer, and the decision is made to take an exam first. The method of examination is: all participants are locked in a relatively well-conditioned room, with someone delivering water and food on time every day, and a special person guarding the door. Whoever comes out of the room first will pass the test. Some people said they had a headache and wanted to go to the hospital, and the guard called a doctor; some said their mother was seriously ill and wanted to go back to take care of her, and the guard contacted their mother who was working. Other people also made many excuses, but the guard just wouldn't let them out. In the end, someone said something to the guard, and the guard let him out. What did that person say?"

  Chen Yang was stunned, and Sun Erpao continued: "I *** couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I thought about it. I thought about it and gave up. It's really hard to eat this air force food. So I told the lieutenant that I quit. Unexpectedly, that psycho said I passed..."

  Chen Yang was speechless...
