“That’s generally the situation with the Special Forces.”

“I’ve already spoken with your Regimental Commander. As long as you personally wish to join the Special Forces, all the procedures can be completed in a few days at most.”

“I won’t force it. Fan Lei, Qin Fengyun, you can both think about it carefully.”

Twenty-five minutes later, Li Daniu stood behind Zhao Yi, while Fan Lei and Qin Fengyun, the two top soldiers of the 369th Regiment, stood in front of Zhao Yi, deep in thought.

Just now, Li Daniu had brought the other two top soldiers of the 369th Regiment, and Zhao Yi had a heart-to-heart talk with them, extending an invitation and explaining the situation of the Special Forces.

Zhao Yi wore a confident smile. Although these two were not like Li Daniu, facing the dilemma of retirement, Zhao Yi believed they would make the right choice given the excellent prospects of the Special Forces.

At the same time, Zhao Yi was also very satisfied with these two top soldiers.

As elite soldiers forged in the military, their attributes on Zhao Yi's Insightful Eyes panel were also quite excellent.

Zhao Yi looked at Fan Lei on his left.

Fan Lei wasn't tall, but his eyes were bright and spirited.

“Name: Fan Lei”

“Age: 25”

“Virtue: 78”

“Intelligence: 35”

“Physicality: 67”

“Aesthetics: 29”

“Labor: 75”

“Potential: 7.5”

“Talent: Pressure Resistance”

“Pressure Resistance: Fan Lei himself doesn't know that he possesses strong psychological pressure resistance, allowing him to remain calm under high-pressure environments; greater pressure can further stimulate Fan Lei's potential, enabling him to perform exceptionally.”

Fan Lei had previously won the shooting championship for the Type 81 automatic rifle and the Type 54 pistol in the Southwest Military Region's military competition.

However, Fan Lei's 'Labor' value, which represents his firearm ability, was not considered top-tier, at least not comparable to Li Daniu's 88 Physicality panel.

But even so, Fan Lei was still able to outperform others, clearly indicating that his talent played a significant role in the competition.

And Zhao Yi was confident that Fan Lei's talent could be utilized in the Special Forces, as Special Forces operations were certainly high-difficulty, thorny incidents that regular units found hard to resolve, and it was impossible for there to be no pressure.

To Zhao Yi's right was Qin Fengyun.

Qin Fengyun was tall and sturdy, with thick eyebrows and large eyes. Just by his appearance, Zhao Yi felt that becoming an honor guard would also be a good choice for him.

However, Qin Fengyun was not just a pretty face; he was the champion of the hand-to-hand combat event in last year's 43rd Group Army competition, and he also had several second and third-place honors in other competition events.

“Name: Qin Fengyun”

“Age: 19”

“Virtue: 50”

“Intelligence: 53”

“Physicality: 76”

“Aesthetics: 56”

“Labor: 82”

“Potential: 7.4”

“Talent: Agile Movement”

“Agile Movement: Qin Fengyun possesses faster reaction capabilities and better physical coordination than ordinary people.”

‘This is really good…’

Zhao Yi was satisfied. Both of them had good potential and statistics, and both had hidden talents.

He would tailor his training to their individual strengths, making the Special Forces training twice as effective.

On the other side, the two top soldiers were still deciding whether to join the Special Forces, as this was a major decision concerning their future.

Although Zhao Yi had spoken very well, the Special Forces had never existed before, and they were not sure if their prospects would definitely be better than staying in regular units.

What if Zhao Yi's Special Forces unit did not meet expectations and failed?

After a few minutes, Fan Lei looked up first, gritted his teeth, and his eyes became firm:

“Zhao ShouZhang, I’ve decided. I’ll follow you!”

“I want to join the Special Forces!”

After careful consideration, Fan Lei finally made the decision to join the Special Forces.

“Good, Fan Lei, on behalf of the Special Forces, I welcome your joining.”

Zhao Yi smiled and nodded in response.

“Zhao ShouZhang.”

On the other side, Qin Fengyun also looked up at Zhao Yi.

“Qin Fengyun, have you thought it through?”

Zhao Yi asked with a smile.

“I can join the Special Forces, but your previous reasons are not enough to convince me.”

“Oh?” Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

Qin Fengyun showed a proud expression and continued:

“Zhao ShouZhang, Squad Leader Li and Squad Leader Fan are old soldiers who have been in the military for seven or eight years. They are facing the dilemma of promotion or discharge, so they see your Special Forces as a lifeline, willing to take a gamble to secure their future.”

“But I am different from them. I was the first place in the assassination confrontation event during last year's new recruit competition, and after being assigned to the 1st Company of the 369th Regiment, I won many other competition honors.”

“Even if I don’t join your Special Forces, I am confident that I can get promoted based on my own abilities.”

Qin Fengyun was very confident, and he certainly had the capital for his confidence.

At only nineteen years old, he could win the military-wide competition. Regimental Commanders, Battalion Commanders, and Company Commanders in the military all looked at him with special regard, and even higher-ranking Military Region officers had praised him.

If it was just for promotion or to stay in the military for a few more years, then Qin Fengyun saw no need to go to great lengths to join the Special Forces.

“Of course, I personally still have the desire to join the Special Forces. After all, this is a pilot project that even the Military Region superiors value. If it’s done well, there will be no shortage of development prospects.”

“So, Qin Fengyun, what are your thoughts…?”

Zhao Yi asked. Qin Fengyun's resume and records were indeed as he said, even more outstanding. Conditions like promotion alone might have limited appeal to Qin Fengyun.

Seeing Zhao Yi speak, Qin Fengyun also spoke unhurriedly:

“Zhao ShouZhang, what I'm thinking is that if you truly want me to join the Special Forces you are building, you need to give me more reasons. You could promise better development prospects, or offer better treatment. You need to give me a reason that can convince myself to join.”

“After all, this Special Forces matter, both you and Battalion Commander Zhang are building it, aren't you?”

After Qin Fengyun finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Zhao Yi.

Hearing this, Zhao Yi also smiled:

By age, Qin Fengyun was two years younger than him.

As expected of a young man, full of youthful vigor.

“Alright, Qin Fengyun, since you want a reason, I will give you a reason.”

Zhao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Qin Fengyun, but he did not intend to promise him more benefits and treatment as Qin Fengyun expected:

“Through what you just said, I can see that you are a soldier who cares deeply about his personal development and future.”

“However, this is not a bad thing. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Having goals provides motivation.”

“Qin Fengyun, you think you're very impressive, being the new recruit competition champion and the military-wide competition champion at such a young age, right?”

“I can tell you that in the current military, the so-called elite soldiers and top soldiers are far inferior in ability to future Special Forces soldiers!”

“And the reason I want to give you for joining the Special Forces is that your current ability is far from enough, you can't even compare to me, your instructor.”
