Chapter 54: Assessment Ended

"Xu Sanduo, do you know?"

Wang Qingrui asked with a smile. Seeing this, the regimental staff member hurriedly stood up and pulled out the chair for Wang Qingrui to sit down.

After this question came out, all the people in the Third Squad of the Steel Seventh Company had no blood on their faces.

What kind of devil question is this?

Is the Regimental Commander not happy with the Steel Seventh Company?

Why is he being so ruthless to his own people?

The regimental staff member and staff officer beside him didn't even dare to breathe.

The questions they asked were at least related.

The questions their own Regimental Commander asked were simply hellish.

Feng Yuxiu frowned. This topic seemed to be on the last few pages.

Regarding "General Explanation of China's Pioneering Military Technology, Unified Data Explanation"

But the problem was he had only glanced at it a few times, and this wasn't a photographic memory skill.

Wang Qingrui stood up, put down the book, walked around the table, and came to Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu looked up at the Regimental Commander, seeing no emotion in his eyes.

"The answer is sleeve-type buffer."

Wang Qingrui's voice wasn't loud or soft, enough for the people within five meters to hear.

Gao Cheng was somewhat dazed. What does this mean?

Feng Yuxiu didn't react. "What?"

Wang Qingrui continued to speak, "Sleeve-type buffer."

Now Feng Yuxiu heard clearly.

Wang Qingrui turned and walked to the table, sitting down steadily. "Xu Sanduo, what is the answer?"

When this sentence came out, the surroundings were silent, and Gao Cheng, who was preparing to flare up, was also stunned.

"It is... sleeve-type buffer."

"Hmm." Wang Qingrui nodded, turned his face to ask, "Staff Officer Wang, is the answer correct?"

Staff Officer Wang stammered, "Correct... correct, right."

"Correct! The answer is sleeve-type buffer!"

"Hmm, give him the score."

Staff Officer Wang looked at the staff officer, still uncertain, lowered his head and asked, "Regimental Commander, how should I give this?"

"How should you give it? You ask me?! Do you have a brain? Did he answer everything correctly? Is your brain rusted?"

Wang Qingrui was absolutely furious. This sudden outburst made everyone tremble.

"One hundred points."

After saying this, without waiting for Wang Qingrui to speak a second time, he picked up the booklet and wrote the score on it.

Wang Qingrui then stood up, took his tea mug, and walked to the side.

Staff Officer Wang sat on the chair trembling. This technical assessment was a document from the division headquarters.

He had followed it, and the Regimental Commander had also agreed to it.

Why would he suddenly be like this?

He couldn't guess it anymore.

However, being able to be a regimental staff officer, his mind was very active.

Just thinking about it, he understood. "Private Xu Sanduo, step back! Next, Wu Liuyi!"

Feng Yuxiu sat in the Third Squad, and everyone was extremely nervous.

All of this made their cognition chaotic.

"Third Master, is the Regimental Commander a relative of yours? No, the surname is different. A distant relative?" Bai Tiejun asked in a low voice.

Feng Yuxiu frowned. He didn't understand why the Regimental Commander would do this either.

He didn't know the question, and then in front of so many people, he stated the answer in a dignified manner.

It was simply an open-book exam.

Since it was an open-book exam, what was the significance of this technical assessment?

The Regimental Commander had also said before that this wasn't just a task, but a comprehensive assessment from multiple aspects.

Wouldn't this contradict his previous words?

Wu Liuyi stood nervously, and Staff Officer Wang lowered his head and slowly flipped through the book.

"What is the tail pipe material of the 82mm mortar?"

Wu Liuyi was somewhat lost, subconsciously saying, "Aluminum alloy tail pipe."

Next, the questions Staff Officer Wang asked were all very simple. As long as it was a diligent soldier, they could answer.

"Next, Gan Xiaoning!"

"Next, Bai Tiejun."

Bai Tiejun suddenly shook his body, his lips turned pale and dry, his eyes revealing panic. "I... ah... it's my turn? Then I'll go up."

Gan Xiaoning pressed on Bai Tiejun's shoulder. "Relax, they are all very simple questions, don't be nervous."

Wu Liuyi also stepped forward, persuading with a firm tone, "Bai Tiejun, don't shake your body, relax, keep a normal mindset."

"Ah, okay."

Bai Tiejun stood up and walked up.

Gan Xiaoning frowned. "Deputy Squad Leader, this kid won't drop the ball, right?"

"He dares! The Third Squad's results are all quite good. This time the Regimental Commander helped us. If he drags us down, I'll ruin him!" Wu Liuyi subconsciously looked at Shi Jin behind him and said in a deep voice.

But Bai Tiejun's eyes were dazed.

Every time he was assessed, he lagged behind. Before Feng Yuxiu came, he was the last in the Third Squad.

Although his physical fitness had improved now.

Others couldn't be caught up in a day or two.

Sure enough, Bai Tiejun's first three questions were answered stutteringly.

Seeing this, Staff Officer Wang frowned and asked the following questions.

"I... I..."

Bai Tiejun licked his lips, lowered his head, and couldn't answer.

"Useless thing!" Gao Cheng was furious, took a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it with his right hand trembling.

The Feng Yuxiu who was most likely to have problems had no problems.

On the contrary, it was Bai Tiejun who had problems. He could have answered these questions.

He had fallen ill.

Every assessment was not on track, like sleepwalking.

"Regimental Commander." Staff Officer Wang looked back in embarrassment.

Wang Qingrui was expressionless.

Staff Officer Wang knew, so he could only write a score in the booklet.

"56 points."

The first person in the Third Squad who didn't pass appeared.

"Get down!" Staff Officer Wang scolded coldly.

Bai Tiejun walked into the crowd with his head hanging low.

Everyone in the Third Squad stared at him.

Those gazes were like cold knives, stabbing into his heart and lungs.

Even Gan Xiaoning, who was usually on good terms, looked at him sideways.

"Bai Tiejun."

Shi Jin's voice broke the dead silence.

"Ah?" Bai Tiejun raised his head, his eyes lifeless.

"Raise your head. It's nothing, it's just one assessment that didn't pass, don't have too much pressure."

Shi Jin revealed a smile and nodded at Bai Tiejun.

Bai Tiejun's eyes instantly turned red, and he covered his eyes and cried.

He had dragged down the overall performance of the entire squad.

He had no face left.

Feng Yuxiu stared expressionlessly ahead.

Listening to the sobbing sound of Bai Tiejun beside him, he said calmly, "You said you came from the countryside, you said you didn't want to be discharged and go back, why do you have such an arrogant personality?"

Bai Tiejun raised his head and looked at Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu turned around and looked calmly into Bai Tiejun's eyes. "You still have a chance, perhaps the last chance. Otherwise, if you are discharged and return to your mountain gully, how will you face your father who has been bent for a lifetime? Your whole family will become a laughingstock in the village."

This sentence was like a sharp knife, completely tearing apart Bai Tiejun's heart.

"Sanduo, I..."

But Feng Yuxiu didn't look at him again.

The entire Third Squad also ignored him.

Everyone knew that the assessment wasn't just about individual performance.

It concerned the overall performance of the Third Squad.

This year was the most critical year for Squad Leader Shi Jin.

If Shi Jin was discharged because of this.

No one would forgive Bai Tiejun.

Comradeship would also shatter.

The assessment lasted all morning and finally ended.

Wang Qingrui didn't even look at Gao Cheng, got into the car, and returned to the regimental headquarters.

Gao Cheng frowned. "What exactly does the Regimental Commander mean?" ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
