605: The list of selected candidates has been finalized.

Xiao Niannian looked at the dozen or so Team Members in front of her and spoke.

"You are the most outstanding Team Members among those selected. I hope you don't become complacent. Continue to train hard, strive to learn more Special Forces Soldier knowledge, fear no hardship or fatigue... and contribute to the country and the people..."

"Fear no hardship, fear no fatigue..."

These dozen people all shouted.

They were also very excited.

For over a month, they had trained diligently, adding an hour or two of extra practice every day, just wanting to become more outstanding.

Now that Captain Xiao had chosen them, it meant their efforts had been recognized.

When it was twelve o'clock, Xiao Niannian ordered them to dismiss.

Time flew by, and three months had passed.

Today was the assessment. Xiao Niannian, Lu Jing, Captain Zhang, Captain Qi, and others watched the hundreds of training selection Team Members.

"After more than three months of training, today is the time to assess your performance..."

The assessment quickly began.

Xiao Niannian looked at the Team Members being assessed, and she looked at the list of Team Members.

This time, they would keep thirty to thirty-five people. If there were particularly outstanding ones, they could keep a few more.

"Ranran, three months have passed now. We should be able to stay today, right?"

Hearing Ning Qiu's words, Li Ran nodded.

"As long as we perform well, we will definitely stay. Currently, this is the only place in the entire Military Unit with female Special Forces Soldiers. If we can't stay, they might not come to our place to select Team Members next year..."

Li Ran came from a good family and was very proud. Her physical fitness was also the best in her original Military Unit. So when she first saw Xiao Niannian, she heard that Xiao Niannian was only a soldier for three or four years and had become the Female Team Captain of the Special Forces Brigade. She also heard others discussing that Xiao Niannian got the position through connections, so she was naturally unconvinced.

She had been training hard for the past three months. The selection Team Members from Yangcheng and Xiangcheng had trained longer than them... and she also found that these people went to the training ground for extra practice at night.

So in the following days, she also took some people for extra practice. After that, all of them practiced together.

The assessment didn't end until ten o'clock at night. Xiao Niannian held the list, looking at the scores on it. She took out the scorecards from these Team Members' first assessment.

Everyone's scores had improved significantly compared to before.

Previously, the vast majority could only achieve excellent results in ordinary Military Units. After these three months, these Team Members' scores had improved greatly. Many people had reached the average score of the Special Forces Brigade in many subjects, approaching excellent scores.

In the conference room, Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li looked at the four Captains.

"The assessment is over. Have you Captains selected the personnel?"

Hearing Captain Chen's words, Captain Zhang replied.

"Reporting to the Commanders, our thirty-five Team Members have been confirmed."

"Reporting to the Commanders, our thirty-five Team Members have also been confirmed."

Lu Jing heard their words and also replied.

"Reporting to the Captain, our thirty Team Members have been confirmed."

Xiao Niannian also spoke.

"Reporting to the Leader, our thirty-five Team Members have been confirmed."

Hearing these words, Captain Chen and Political Commissar Li were all very happy.

"Since the personnel have been confirmed, then gather them for a meeting, and then arrange for the Team Members to send the others back..."

"Yes."

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian immediately agreed.

Xiao Niannian looked at these lists. The people from Yangcheng were easy to send back. Squad Leader Li and the others would drive them to the Division Headquarters, and the Division Headquarters would send people to return them to their original units.

As for Xiangcheng, Team Members would also need to drive them there.

However, the people from Ji Province and Yu Province would require a lot of effort.

"For Ji Province and Yu Province, we will send Team Members to escort them back..."

Seeing Niannian looking at the list, Lu Jing spoke.

"Mhm."

It was already December, and there was only a little over a month until the New Year.

Xiao Niannian, wearing a military overcoat, nodded.

The whistle blew, and all the selected Team Members gathered at the training ground.

Looking at these hundreds of people, Xiao Niannian recalled the previous selection.

This time, it was a batch-by-batch selection. Next year's selection would involve sending Team Members out to select, and once chosen, they would join the team at a unified time.

"Now announcing the selection list, First Team..."

The selected Team Members cheered happily when they heard their names.

The other Team Members around them also smiled and congratulated them.

Some of the Team Members in the Womens Team already knew their scores, but others were a bit anxious, wondering if they would be selected.

Soon, it was time to announce the Womens Team's roster.

"Selected Team Members: Meng Ning, Gao Yao, Lin Shi, Feng Lin, Li Le..."

With the announcement of the thirty-five names, the Womens Team members were overjoyed.

However, the Womens Team members who were not selected cried sadly.

They had all trained hard after arriving, but unexpectedly, their scores were still a bit lacking.

Li Ran and Ning Qiu looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise. They had offended Captain Xiao before, and they had thought they wouldn't be on the list. They hadn't slept well last night.

Unexpectedly, Captain Xiao had chosen to keep them.

They had heard that the selection power for the Womens Team members was entirely in Captain Xiao's hands.

"Congratulations to all the Comrades-in-arms who have been selected. For those Team Members who were not selected, I hope you will continue to work hard..."

Xiao Niannian heard some people crying.

But crying was useless. The Special Forces Brigade was a place based on strength. If one's performance was not good, even extra training wouldn't help, which meant they were not suitable for the Special Forces Brigade.

"Later, we'll go to the cafeteria to eat. Today, the cafeteria will have extra dishes. In addition, we have prepared a souvenir for all Team Members..."

The Special Forces Brigade prepared a souvenir for these people: a military-green notebook and a fountain pen, both bearing the name of the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade.

Although the Special Forces Brigade was wealthy now, large expenses still required auditing and approval.

These Team Members had trained here for over three months, and this set of gifts was also a token of appreciation.

The unselected Team Members came forward to receive their souvenirs. Seeing that it was a notebook and a fountain pen, many were deeply moved.

"This souvenir is so valuable! It's a notebook and a pencil. I'm going to treasure this for a lifetime."

"I'm going to keep using this fountain pen."

"This is great."

"I never expected such a wonderful souvenir."

The unselected Womens Team members were both sad and somewhat moved.

"I will definitely train hard when I go back. Next year, I will definitely return."

"Me too, I will definitely come back next year and become a full member."
