Chapter 26: Not enough points? Make up for it with talent
Everyone present pricked up their ears.
Jiang Chen organized his words and continued, "Let's talk about 'political review' first. Actually, there is nothing much to say about 'political review'. Anyway, you just need to remember one sentence, that is, we all have the highest ideals and pay the highest respect to the country and the people, so we voluntarily devote ourselves to national defense construction."
"It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders, so even if you have any messy ideas in your mind, all of them sound 'glorious and noble', but in fact they are all empty ideals, put them all away."
"This is not the place for you to display your 'empty ambitions'. Don't think you understand the truth of the world just because you have read a few books like Yilin and Reader."
It’s not that Jiang Chen likes to talk about big principles.
But this is the Internet environment in 2013.
Although 2013 is the twilight year of the public intellectuals and netizens are not as easily deceived as before, the Internet environment is still very poor. Various public intellectuals and anti-China parties are like jumping clowns, making irresponsible remarks and being arrogant on the Internet.
Therefore, many minors are easily misled.
The reason why Jiang Chen spoke so seriously was that he wanted to give these young people who claimed to be passionate young people a shot of prevention.
Don't let them go astray and think they represent "justice".
Seeing Jiang Chen's serious face, Wang Wenxuan quickly stepped out to smooth things over, "Don't worry, Xiao Chengzi. Since we have all chosen to participate in the Air Force recruitment, why would we be misled by those online comments?"
"That's right. We're not stupid."
"How many people would believe those stupid remarks?"
"Xiao Chengzi means well, everyone just needs to be more careful."
"Right. Anyway, it's always a good idea to pay attention when you're being talked to later."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
Then he continued, "As for the mental selection, it seems to be just doing brain teasers. I didn't find any specific guides online, it just said to do questions."
"In short, our re-selection and the final selection are actually evaluated with scores. These scores are related to which air force academy we are admitted to and which major we are admitted to."
"Anyway, it's very important, so don't think that political review and psychological selection are almost not eliminated, so you should treat it perfunctorily."
Wang Wenxuan nodded heavily, "I understand."
The others also looked grateful.
This gratitude.
Another layer of delicacies was piled on Jiang Chen's plate.
He looked helplessly at the plate full of delicious food and couldn't help complaining, "You guys are really good at giving me favors. Besides, I'm not a pig, how can I finish all this?"
A boy sitting opposite him immediately took a chicken leg from his plate and said with a smile, "I can't repay you these two days. Anyway, I won't say anything. When I return to Qianyang, I'll arrange a good meal for you."
"Isn't it my way of repaying you if I introduce my sister to you? My sister is really pretty." Another boy said with a grin.
Wang Wenxuan said quickly, "Brother-in-law, your sister should introduce him to me. Our little Chengzi is already in a relationship, and his girlfriend is really pretty."
"Get lost!" the boy said with a frown, "You are so ugly, my sister will definitely not like you."
Lu Qingzhou was too lazy to pay attention to these people who were having fun.
Instead, work hard.
Charged towards the mountain of delicious food.
2 p.m.
The last two physical examination items in this round of screening.
It's about to begin.
The fifty or so 'surviving' candidates, led by their instructors, came to the physical examination center in a mighty procession.
But it's different from usual.
This time.
Everyone went directly to the fourth floor.
"We will now begin the two physical examinations of political review and psychological selection. Candidates whose names are called please come in, and the rest of you please stay outside and wait," said a staff member with a stern face.
Then he continued with the list in hand, "Chen Yong, go to office number four."
"Deng Xianming, you are in office number three."
"Geng Libing, you are in Office No. 2."
Jiang Chen yawned.
He leaned back slightly and leaned against a pillar.
He planned to choose a more comfortable standing position and take a nap.
Because the first three names are based on the first letter of the surname.
So it will probably be half an hour before it's his turn.
But what he didn't expect was that the staff member glanced around the crowd and then asked, "Where's Jiang Chen?"
Jiang Chen was stunned.
Stand up quickly.
"Jiang Chen, you are in Office 4." The staff pointed to an office not far away, and his tone and attitude became a little softer. Jiang Chen quickly rubbed his face to make himself more awake.
Then he walked towards the office.
He walked to the office door.
Boom~Boom~Boom.
Knocked gently on the office door.
"Please come in."
When a slightly majestic voice was heard in the office, Jiang Chen pushed the door open and walked in.
Out of habit.
After Jiang Chen entered the office, he quickly glanced around the office.
The office is not big and the interior is simple and plain.
But what surprised him was that this office looked like a room for people to work, rather than an office specifically used for political review and psychological selection of candidates.
Because this office has a desk, an office computer, and even a meeting place.
And behind the desk.
A middle-aged man wearing an air force uniform with shoulder straps showing him as a lieutenant colonel was burying his head in a pile of documents.
The middle-aged man didn't even raise his head.
Instead, he said calmly, "Please go sit on the sofa for a while. We'll start after I finish the document in my hand."
Jiang Chen replied hurriedly, "You go ahead."
After saying that, he turned around, walked to the coffee table, and sat down on the sofa.
Not a moment later.
The lieutenant colonel finally finished his work.
He raised his head from the pile of documents, stretched, and then stood up.
He walked to the water dispenser, poured a cup of tea and brought it over.
Handed it to Jiang Chen, "Have you waited enough?"
Jiang Chen quickly took the cup of steaming hot tea and replied, "Not bad."
After saying that, he picked up the teacup and blew gently on it. After blowing the tea leaves away, he took a sip of tea.
Only then did he put the teacup on the coffee table.
The lieutenant colonel had been observing Jiang Chen's actions.
He is very strange.
This kid is obviously only seventeen or eighteen years old, but the way he treats people is almost like a mature man in his thirties.
Take your time from beginning to end.
It was as if he was really a visitor to my place.
The lieutenant colonel became more and more interested in this young man.
According to his personal information, this guy is obviously from Qianzhou, a prefecture-level city with a very underdeveloped economy.
The biggest problem for people in small places is that they are easily nervous and have low self-esteem.
Because knowledge and perspective cannot be compensated by IQ.
But there is no sign of nervousness on this kid.
"Why is this kid's psychological quality so good?" The lieutenant colonel frowned slightly, puzzled.
He also sat down directly opposite Jiang Chen.
Decided to throw a trump card first.
Let’s see if this guy is really calm and composed, or just pretending.
So the lieutenant colonel picked up Jiang Chen's personal information and said casually, "According to your personal information, your mock exam results seem to be very unsatisfactory. In other words, no matter how well you perform, your chances of being admitted to the Air Force Academy are actually not high. Have you considered this issue?"
Jiang Chen was stunned?
Ok?
Isn't political review required first?
Isn’t mental selection just a brain teaser?
Why do you attack people right away?
Although what you said was the truth, why did you say it in such a slightly contemptuous tone?
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
There was no hesitation.
Instead, he answered directly, "Not enough points? Then make up for it with talent!"
