Chapter 19 Representatives

Teacher Fang came back at noon, and she wasn't alone; she brought a group of people with her.

According to Teacher Fang, these were representatives from the Triumph Army and the Wasteland Reclamation Army who came to understand the situation.

But even before Teacher Fang could introduce them, Jiang Xiao and the others recognized one of them: Qin Wangchuan, the Wasteland Reclamation's Great Nanny!

Wasn't his area of work in the Northeast? Why did he come to the Imperial Capital?

While secretly wondering, Jiang Xiao and the others were also filled with gratitude towards Teacher Fang.

Obviously, such fact-finding should have taken place in other quiet places, perhaps even in their units or military camps. But Teacher Fang had invited them to her home.

This home was Teacher Fang's personal space, quiet enough, and it saved Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue the trouble of traveling.

Moreover, Teacher Fang's home wasn't like a military camp; it wasn't their home turf. Teacher Fang could provide some care for the siblings to a certain extent.

Four military officers, from two different groups.

The siblings were being "interrogated" separately. Of course, they had already rehearsed their answers, so there wouldn't be any surprises.

Jiang Xiao first went to the balcony with the Triumph Army people, while Han Jiangxue went to the study with the Wasteland Reclamation Army.

After carefully inquiring about the course of events, the Triumph Army extended an olive branch to Jiang Xiao, which he hadn't expected at all.

They... offered Jiang Xiao very good treatment, hoping that he would consider joining the Triumph Army.

These were the kind of words that should be said during recruitment organized by the school in senior year, right?

The generous treatment offered by the Triumph Army also left Jiang Xiao speechless. It was almost the same as being specially recruited. There was no need for a written test or practical assessment. If he wanted to come, he only needed to go through a symbolic interview and political review, and then he could directly start the job, with all the formalities completed, no different from a regular soldier.

Jiang Xiao didn't have to start as an apprentice; he would directly accept the level and position of deputy captain of the Triumph Squad. In theory, as long as he served his term for a few years, he could be promoted, and in reality, as long as there were no major mistakes, Jiang Xiao would be promoted quickly.

What followed was an increase in salary, Star Beads, and other benefits.

This huge pie startled Jiang Xiao. I'm still a kid...

Jiang Xiao thought to himself, this is no different from a civil servant, an iron... iron rice bowl?

Jiang Xiao thanked them repeatedly and said that he would concentrate on his studies first and would definitely consider it after graduation...

Consider what?

If Jiang Xiao was kept by the Triumph Army, Er Wei on the Night Watch would be furious!

After an hour of meeting, the siblings switched places. When they passed each other in the living room, Jiang Xiao clearly felt that Han Jiangxue's expression was solemn.

Was it because of Qin Wangchuan?

This guy... how did he chase after us here? Today, I'm going to meet this "human mountain human sea"!

As soon as Jiang Xiao entered the room, he saw Qin Wangchuan's bright eyes.

Clean crew cut, clean face.

Although his appearance was ordinary, his upright and imposing manner in front of the bookcase was truly admirable.

That posture! That temperament! That standard height of one meter eighty-eight!

You should go abroad to participate in military parades, you should go to carry the flag for the country!

"You're here, Xiao Pi." Qin Wangchuan pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "Sit."

"Ah, hello, Brother Qin." Jiang Xiao knew the seriousness of this meeting and didn't act cheeky, quickly sitting in the chair.

Inside the desk, sat a middle-aged man in his forties, with a parted hairstyle and a serious expression, looking at Jiang Xiao with scrutiny, looking difficult to get along with.

Qin Wangchuan introduced, "Officer Mu Yun."

Jiang Xiao thought that he was still an apprentice and not qualified to be a soldier yet, so he wouldn't go through their procedures for the time being. Giving a salute might cause him to be nitpicked, which would be a big joke. Truthfully, although he had stood in many military stances, Jiang Xiao had never learned the standard salute.

Jiang Xiao nodded directly and said, "Hello, Officer."

Officer Mu Yun nodded and got straight to the point, "Tell me about the situation at the time, starting from your second entry into the Infernoid Realm, and try to be as detailed as possible."

Jiang Xiao was very familiar with this and spoke without hesitation.

After all, he had reported it to countless people countless times...

After a detailed explanation, Jiang Xiao answered several questions raised by the officer. Next was the moment to witness a miracle.

Officer Mu Yun was drinking tea, and Qin Wangchuan finally made his entrance!

He smiled and said a sentence, "Do you know why I was transferred from the Northern Wasteland Reclamation Army to the Imperial Capital Wasteland Reclamation Army?"

Jiang Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He was a little familiar with this routine.

Er Wei was also transferred from the Northern Night Watch Army to the Northwestern Night Watch Army for some reason...

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao quietly with his bright eyes and said, "We are very interested in you."

Wangchuan!

I'm not your autumn water...

Even if you get my body, you won't get my heart...

Qin Wangchuan smiled and said, "Regarding your question in the high school principal's office last time, I can now give you a clear answer. Dual-position apprenticeship, whether it is feasible at home is still under discussion, but here in the Imperial Capital, it is completely possible."

Jiang Xiao blinked in confusion. What does that mean?

Does the Imperial Capital Wasteland Reclamation Army value me so much?

Listening to Qin Wangchuan's meaning, the dual apprenticeship at home should have been rejected by the Wasteland Reclamation Army's higher-ups.

But here, the big shots of the Imperial Capital Wasteland Reclamation Army agreed?

This... what is this?

Qin Wangchuan continued, "The Imperial Capital Wasteland Reclamation Army and the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University have always had a very close cooperative relationship. The Infernoid Realm incident a few days ago had a huge impact nationwide. As a treasure trove for the country to transport talents, the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University should strengthen its degree of care."

Jiang Xiao didn't speak and continued to listen quietly.

Qin Wangchuan continued, "As a special team, the Wasteland Reclamation Army deals with more specific projects. The Triumph Army has always had duty stations around the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University, so when there is danger here, they can arrive at the first time, while the Wasteland Reclamation Army is a bit slower.

The superiors attach great importance to this place, as always. If it was the previous dozen or so minor incidents, opening space to Black Rock Mountain, Fire Source Mountain Range, and the like, it wouldn't matter. Instead, it could train students' ability to deal with crises.

But the emergence of the Infernoid Realm, which exceeded the scope of teachers and students' ability to respond, changed everything. If the Wasteland Reclamation Army could destroy the Holy Ruins at the first time, there wouldn't have been so many casualties."

Jiang Xiao nodded. Qin Wangchuan was right about this point. Due to the professionalism and particularity of the Wasteland Reclamation Army, their combat effectiveness was several levels higher than that of ordinary corps.

If the Wasteland Reclamation Army could have arrived on the scene earlier when the crisis occurred on September 23, the situation would have been much better.

It should be known that within the entire country, the only army that could be on par with the Wasteland Reclamation Army was the Night Watch Army.

One of these two teams "conquers the country," and the other "defends the country."

If we were to simply talk about combat effectiveness, the Wasteland Reclaimers might be better than the Night Watchers.

After all... specialization in a subject makes perfect.

Qin Wangchuan continued, "The Wasteland Reclamation Army will set up a post at the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University. From now on, several Wasteland Reclamation squads will take turns on duty here.

At the same time, the Wasteland Reclamation Army members in the team who wish to be on duty here can train several Wasteland Reclamation apprentice squads, working together with the school to cultivate excellent Wasteland Reclamation soldiers. Instead of waiting for you to voluntarily join the army after graduation, it can also broaden our channels for attracting talents.

This is an experiment. The first batch will recruit three Wasteland Reclamation apprentice squads, enjoying the joint education of the school and the Wasteland Reclamation Army. If there are no major accidents, they will be directly transferred to formal Wasteland Reclamation soldiers after graduating from university. Taking this place as a pilot, if the effect is good, it will be promoted to universities across the country."

Jiang Xiao scratched his head. That sounds nice, but this is blatantly trying to poach people!

Qin Wangchuan had just mentioned the Wasteland Reclamation Army's channel for attracting talents, which was to recruit the most outstanding students from military academies. And those students attended military academies and signed contracts before entering school, so they would be joining the army in the future.

But other universities in society were different, such as the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University. After this group of children graduated, a certain percentage of them would voluntarily join the army. But it was important to understand that there were many, many types of soldiers in China.

If it was voluntary, not everyone had the ability, willingness, or even the connections to go to the Wasteland Reclamation Army.

Now it was great, fairies were descending to earth!

You can't find a way in? I'll just open the enrollment location at your school gate!

I'll start recruiting from the first year of university, directly tricking away this year's most promising students and training them for four years, then directly enlisting them in the Wasteland Reclamation Army...

Only recruiting from military academies and only drawing "soldier kings" from various troops, although it guaranteed the combat effectiveness of the Wasteland Reclamation Army, this recruitment channel was indeed a bit single.

Moreover, other teams were also suffering unspeakably. A good one would be cultivated and then taken away, a powerful one would be drawn away, who could bear it...

Jiang Xiao never expected that the 923 incident he personally experienced would lead to a military policy reform?

Jiang Xiao suddenly had a feeling of witnessing history.

Qin Wangchuan looked at Jiang Xiao and issued a solemn invitation, "If you want, you can become the first batch of Wasteland Reclamation apprentices on campus nationwide."

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to ask only one question: Since it's the first batch, then I don't need to draw lots, right?

Qin Wangchuan's expression was serious, and he said, "This is a new experiment, waiting for teachers and students to explore together. If your parents knew that you had made such a contribution to the Wasteland Reclamation Army, they would be very pleased."

Wow, you dog thief! You're coming at me with that!

Jiang Xiao wasn't happy at the time and said, "My vacation has already been booked by the Night Watch Army and the Light Chasing Group. Time is limited, and I may not be a full-time Wasteland Reclamation soldier after graduation. Have you considered that?"

"Cough cough..." Officer Mu Yun behind the desk didn't cough on purpose; he really choked on his tea when he heard Jiang Xiao's sudden words.

Qin Wangchuan said, "Your parents are also members of society, not full-time Wasteland Reclamation soldiers. These are not important. What's important is your future choice."

Jiang Xiao: "Hmm?"

Qin Wangchuan: "The reason why it's called a future choice is because you will make a decision in three or four years. At that time, you can clearly compare the differences between the Night Watch and the Wasteland Reclamation. At that time, where you want to go, where you want to stay..."

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Qin Wangchuan had a confident look on his face and said, "We'll rely on our own abilities and make a decision after four years."

Oh?

You're very confident?

You're playing the teammate bond game with me, aren't you? You think you can tie me down in four years?

Wangchuan...

Naive!

Immature!

Am I, Jiang Xiao, someone who can be tied down?

I'm a person who wants to conquer the stars and the sea!

Jiang Xiao was just puzzled, why did this guy value himself so much? Actually compromising like this?

What's so good about me?

Or is this no longer my personal problem, but a small competition between your Wasteland Reclamation and Night Watch?

Looking at Jiang Xiao's puzzled look, Qin Wangchuan sighed slightly in his heart.

In fact, Jiang Xiao was overthinking it. The reason why they valued Jiang Xiao so much...

It was because Han Jiangxue didn't agree and only said that she would consider it. So, if Jiang Xiao joined the team, the probability of Han Jiangxue joining the team would be greatly increased.
