556: Chapter 551: Others Don’t Dare to Take You?

I Want You!

Gao Yang’s expression was somewhat unsightly, while Cui Bo seemed a bit oblivious.

They originally thought they were recruiting a top-notch addition, but they never expected this candidate’s background to be so significant that it frightened them off.

After World War II, the German military was small and discreet, seldom coming into the public eye.

However, Germany remained a major world power.

The idea of a daughter of a German army major general going off to fight with a group of mercenaries was preposterous.

How many major generals does Germany even have?

A major general, although not the army commander, was still a high-ranking official.

Seeing the expressions on Gao Yang and Cui Bo’s faces, Eileen suddenly became tense.

She frowned and said, “Hey, what are you two thinking about?

You aren’t going to act like those sycophants, are you?

Come on, even if my dad is a general, how would that matter?

He has no control over you.”

Gao Yang gave a wry smile and said, “Well, I meant to say that your father is a major general.

That’s a big deal.

And from the photos, it seems you are his only daughter?”

Eileen shrugged and said, “Exactly, that’s my biggest misfortune.”

Gao Yang grimaced and said, “That’s exactly the problem.

You should know that being a mercenary means going to war, and the mortality rate is extremely high.

Although we’ve never lost anyone, nobody can guarantee what might happen.

If, if you were to die while with Satan, what do you think your dad would do?

I can’t even begin to guess what he might do.”

Eileen, troubled, said, “Exactly, it’s always like this.

Please, do you really think today’s Germany is still the Germany of WWII?

The Bundeswehr nowadays is basically a castrated military, alright?

The commander can’t even call himself that; he has to be called the Inspector General.

In such a country, with such an army, what could a major general possibly do that’s beyond his capacity?”

Gao Yang muttered, “Well, for a major general to take out a few mercenaries, that doesn’t seem beyond his ability, does it?”

Eileen, frustrated, said, “The German military, now more strictly monitored by Germany itself than by any other country— an army that can’t even march properly at a parade— what’s there to worry about a single major general?

Besides, with European economic and military integration emphasizing collective defense and operations, what could one major general possibly do?”

Gao Yang hesitated and said, “I’m sorry, Eileen, I have to be responsible for my people.

I can’t bring trouble upon them.

You know, your identity, to a large extent, is a significant problem.”

Eileen’s face showed her irritation; she waved her hand helplessly and said, “It’s always like this, always.

Well, don’t you know that what the Bundeswehr inherited includes just two things?

The Prussian spirit of absolute obedience to superiors and the Iron Cross.

With my father’s status, he would never do anything contrary to his military professionalism.

He wouldn’t care about my life; even if I were to die in battle, he wouldn’t take it out on my comrades.

Besides, I haven’t been in touch with my father for a long time; he probably doesn’t even know where I am.

I think, even if I died, he wouldn’t know.”

Seeing that Gao Yang still wouldn’t relent, Eileen sighed deeply and said, “Alright, I shouldn’t have let you see my dad’s photo.

I didn’t expect that, although you’re far away in America and just a mercenary, you’d be as timid as those German sycophants.”

Gao Yang shrugged and said, “Don’t try to provoke me; it won’t work.

I’m not afraid of trouble, but I won’t invite unnecessary trouble.”

Eileen sighed and said, “Alright, my life has been ruined by my dad, I guess.

I hadn’t realized that even now, I’m still living in his shadow.

My life is completely ruined.

It looks like I don’t need to pack my things, right?”

Looking at Eileen’s utterly dejected expression, Gao Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Tell me about your father.

What kind of person is he?

It seems your relationship isn’t very close?”

Eileen gave a wry smile, sat down on the sofa, and lit a cigarette before saying to Harley, “Sorry, I need to smoke to calm down.”

After smoking half of the cigarette, Eileen stubbed it out on the coffee table, shook her head, then lit another one and took a deep inhale before slowly saying, “I was born into a military family.

My grandfather was a soldier, and of course, so was my father.

He wished his son would also be a soldier.

Sadly, and quite tragically, he only had me, a daughter.”

After glancing at Gao Yang, Eileen shrugged and said, “You know?

When I was little, I hated myself for not being a boy.

As I grew up and saw the disappointment in my dad’s eyes, I knew what he was disappointed about.

He desperately wished he had a son, but he only had a daughter—me, and I feel very sorry for him.”

Cui Bo couldn’t help but raise his voice and said, “What kind of logic is that?

How is this your fault?

Are you mistaken?”

Eileen smiled and said, “I used to want to be a model, but later, my dream was to become a soldier.

So, at the age of eighteen, I joined the army without telling my father.

By the time he found out, I was already a soldier.

I thought simply: if I’m going to do it, I’ll be the best.

So, I applied to join the KSK.

But not long after I returned from training in America, the KSK found out my family background was fabricated.

Then they discovered my dad was actually a Major General and coincidentally, he was directly above the KSK.

Sigh, just like that, I was kicked out of the assault team and transferred to a support battalion.

Then I learned to fly, but not long after joining the support battalion, those bootlickers felt it still wasn’t safe and transferred me to the training and testing center.

All because of my dad.”

I began to think joining the military was a mistake.

My father never expressed happiness for my achievements.

Being in the army under the shadow of a Major General, soon to be a Lieutenant General, felt pointless.

So, after getting injured once, I left the military.

Ha, those bootlickers couldn’t wait to see me go.

They happily handed me a Medal and told me to get lost—the damn bunch of good-for-nothings!”

After speaking bitterly, Eileen pressed out another half-cigarette on the coffee table but then lit up another one.

Eileen gestured to Gao Yang and continued, “I am the best soldier, I know I am.

It’s just that I never got the chance to prove it.

I couldn’t prove myself in the Bundeswehr, and with my dad around, it was even less possible.

I can’t go back to being a normal woman now, and I can’t become a man; I’m not a pervert.

But, I want to prove I’m the best soldier, prove it to everyone, especially to my dad—that I am a real soldier, even better than a man.”

After venting her frustration, Eileen sighed and said, “My mother hates my father.

She blames him for ruining my life.

I don’t hate him; I just hate that I made the wrong choices.

I shouldn’t have joined the damn military for his stupid sense of honor and ideas.

But I’m already a soldier, so I have to prove to him that I’m the best, better than all his soldiers!”

Gao Yang gave a wry smile and commented, “Your thoughts are quite contradictory.”

Eileen shrugged and replied, “Indeed, it’s contradictory.

But honestly, although I regret becoming a soldier because of my father’s wishes, I actually quite like the profession now.

It’s just that I haven’t found the right battlefield for myself.

I don’t want to see my dad’s always expressionless face anymore, nor do I want to meet him.

So after I retired, I came to America.

I don’t want to live in his shadow.

I just want to forge my own path.

Unfortunately, I’ve failed so far.

In the military profession, all I meet are weaklings and losers—boring.

And joining a Mercenary Group I could respect just didn’t work out.

F**k, this is my second failure, and now, I can’t even find a job to support myself.”

Gao Yang, a bit surprised, said, “Oh, you even tried to join which Mercenary Group?”

Eileen gave a bitter smile and answered, “Angel, being German, I naturally hoped to join the Angel Mercenary Corps, which is the strongest.

But, I was rejected.”

Gao Yang, curious, asked, “What happened?

Tell me about it.”

Eileen shrugged and said, “Well, Angel, you know.

There’s someone who retired from KSK and joined.

Someone introduced me, and after great difficulty in making contact, one person tested me.

But in the end, I was rejected.”

Gao Yang asked, “Why?

Did you not pass the test?”

Eileen’s smile was ugly as she replied, “No, I passed.

But after passing the test and meeting with the commander of the Angels, that damn commander said, ‘Why is it a woman?

Angel doesn’t want a woman,’ and told me to get lost.

So, I was thrown out once again.”

Eileen’s smile grew even more strained, and Gao Yang smacked his lips and said, “That person, he actually said that?

Said it to your face?”

Eileen nodded,

Gao Yang shook his head and said to Cui Bo, “This Nate, he’s really awful, isn’t he?

How could he say that?

Even if they wanted to reject, couldn’t he have made up some excuse?

That’s just terrible.”

Cui Bo nodded and agreed, “Exactly, he’s a real piece of work.”

Eileen snorted coldly and said, “A direct rejection and making up an excuse are the same thing.

Why bother being hypocritical?

Now, what reason do you plan to use to reject me?

You could be straightforward; it’s less trouble.

After all, for whatever reason, you guys don’t dare to take me on.”

Gao Yang slapped his thigh and declared, “Reject?

To hell with that!

I’m now letting you join Satan.

I can’t stand this.

Over here, you’ve passed, and after meeting all the members, as long as no one objects, you can join the Satan Mercenary Corps.

Remember, even if someone in our ranks objects to you joining, you can’t join Satan, but it absolutely won’t be because you are a woman, since we already have a female member.”(To be continued.
