Chapter 215: Chapter 212 Excellent

"Name: Liu Chunxiao, age 38, rank: captain, instructor in Anti-Chemical Warfare at the Stonegate Land Academy!"

The first to report was the Anti-Chemical Militant, Liu Chunxiao. His name was distinctive, and so was his appearance. Although he was only thirty-eight, his black-and-white hair was striking. If he hadn’t mentioned his age, one might have assumed he was forty-eight or even fifty-eight years old just from looking at his hair.

This time, the selection was led by Gao Yuan. Although he had the lowest military rank, no, he didn’t have a military rank at all, the selection was still centered around him.

"Can you operate a Flamethrower?"

Liu Chunxiao simply said, "Yes."

Liu Muyang added from the side, "He’s the one who used a Flamethrower to kill an Armored Turtle this afternoon. When it comes to using Flamethrowers, Liu Chunxiao is renowned throughout the army. Think about it, he is an instructor in Anti-Chemical Warfare at the Stonegate Land Academy, and the Flamethrower is his main thing! He’s the best Anti-Chemical Militant we could find."

Gao Yuan was very pleased and nodded, "Very good, welcome aboard."

The second person stepped forward, saluted Liu Muyang, and then loudly reported, "Reporting: Name, Wang Ning, age 34, medic of the Falcon Special Combat Brigade, general surgeon, national expert on the battlefield emergency treatment research team, with extensive hands-on experience, has served multiple times as a medic on secret missions, saved four lives on the battlefield, and received two years of commissioned training in general surgery at the outpatient department of the 311 Hospital, handling a large number of patients and acquiring very rich surgical experience, reporting completed, awaiting instructions!"

Wang Ning, dressed in his military uniform and saluting, was a doctor — one capable of undertaking secret missions alongside the special forces. He was truly versatile.

Wrong, Wang Ning was not just capable of accompanying special forces into battle; he himself was a special operative, skilled in both medicine and military tactics.

Liu Muyang, pointing at Wang Ning, solemnly told Gao Yuan, "This is a key figure of our country’s research team on battlefield emergency treatment and a superstar in the military medical system, the ’airborne wonder’ of the Falcon brigade, who receives a national special subsidy. He is both a soldier and a doctor, and an expert at that, plus he’s young and promising. He joined the Expeditionary Army to provide the greatest level of support possible. Also, Comrade Wang Ning’s rank is colonel."

Once Liu Muyang finished speaking, Wang Ning calmly reported, "Report! I introduced myself so that everyone can understand my specialties and capabilities, but my current status is that of an ordinary soldier. My speciality is saving lives, but my desire is to kill enemies, reporting completed!"

Only thirty-four years old, a military medical colonel, this man was outstanding, truly outstanding, and not in an ordinary way.

Gao Yuan hurriedly nodded, "Welcome, welcome. With you here, we’ll definitely feel much more assured."

Liu Muyang made a gesture, and then a sergeant in his forties stepped forward and slowly reported, "Report, name: Liu Deguang, rank: first class sergeant major, age 39, specialty, well, it’s repairing vehicles — I can fix military ones with my eyes closed, but for civilian ones, I’ve got to keep them open, reporting completed."

His slow way of speaking was trying, but Liu Deguang delivered the most impressive line in the slowest voice.

Liu Muyang added, "Liu Deguang isn’t just boasting. During the military’s grand competition, he blindfolded himself to locate the fault and directed the disassembly of the vehicle by sound alone. In the entire armored division, no matter what kind of vehicle broke down, they all went straight to him. Whether it was a sedan, truck, armored vehicle, or tank, he was sure to fix them up."

Liu Deguang leisurely said, "Well, I can’t fix everything, some civilian vehicles are beyond repair and just need new parts, but in terms of mechanics, military ones are simpler, and civilian ones are more complex. The principles are all the same, so it’s more or less the same, I just deal with it."

"Welcome, welcome, and who are these two..."

There were still two people left, one in his thirties and the other who appeared to be in his early twenties.

"Introduce yourselves."

The one in his thirties stepped forward and said loudly, "Name: Cao Zhenjiang, age forty-two, culinary squad leader, currently the main chef at the headquarters’ cafeteria, third-class sergeant major. Actually, I had applied for reassignment, but the leadership wouldn’t let me go. Then the aliens came, and I decided not to leave either. Anyway, my military skills are solid. You might see me wielding a big spoon, but when it comes to military skills, if anyone doesn’t believe in me, let’s practice. Our leaders know talent, and it’s not that being in the culinary unit is bad. It’s just that I..."

Seeing Liu Muyang with a look of utmost frustration, Gao Yuan also felt that this Cao Zhenjiang might be a bit... excessive.

Daring to speak like that in front of Liu Muyang, Cao Zhenjiang was really something.

Liu Muyang waved his hand and said to the soldier in his early twenties, "You introduce yourself as well."

"Reporting! My name is Yang Shichao, age twenty-four, skilled in the four major cuisines: Sichuan, Huaiyang, Hunan, and Anhui..."

Cao Zhenjiang interrupted anxiously from the side, "Stop, stop, what did you say? Four major cuisines? How can you seem so capable? I just don’t buy it, you’re joking! How many years have you been in the culinary squad? Your squad lets you cook all four major cuisines? Are you here to joke with me? Can you even properly make the national dish? Do you put sugar in braised pork? Coming here to boast to me."

The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward and tense. Liu Muyang’s face hardened as he called out, "Comrade Cao Zhenjiang!"

Cao Zhenjiang immediately stood at attention, but still with a look of defiance, he casually responded, "Present!"

Liu Muyang turned and asked his subordinate, "Who allowed him to come here? Whose recommended candidate is he!"

The infantry regiment commander stepped out and said softly, "Commander, don’t be angry, old Cao just has this kind of temperament. But didn’t you say that the food has to be well made? Cao Zhenjiang is truly of a chef-level, he even has his grade-one chef certificate, and his cooking is genuinely excellent. Even our brigade commander likes the dishes he makes."

Liu Muyang said angrily, "That still doesn’t justify recommending someone like..."

He was about to say ’a simpleton,’ but Liu Muyang, being a person with standards and cultivation, lowered his voice and said, "Enough! Take him back with you. And Yang Shichao, you..."

"Hold up, commander! Are you looking for a chef or conducting an audition here? What’s this? We’re not comparing professional skills anymore? Then why did you ask for me?"

In all his years in the military, Liu Muyang had truly never seen such a blunt, foolish, and simpleminded culinary squad leader.

Just as Liu Muyang was about to lose his temper, Xinghe suddenly said, "You’re very confident. Is your cooking really that delicious?"

Cao Zhenjiang sneered with disdain, and then he gave himself a thumbs-up, loudly proclaiming, "No need for anyone to brag or disbelieve. The proof is in the pudding. Here, let’s see who’s the best, one by one. If we’re comparing knives, let’s grab the cleavers; if it’s bayonets, then let’s use bayonets. If you say we go to the kitchen, we’ll compete in cooking; if you say we should work on physical fitness, then we’ll hit the 400-meter obstacle course. In short, you pick."

Li Guoping could not help but ask curiously, looking at Cao Zhenjiang, "I’m really curious, how have you managed to last all these years in the military?"

"Last? Was I just lingering?"

Cao Zhenjiang stretched out his hands and said, "What I rely on are these two strong hands! Just pure strength!"
