Chapter 9: Sense and Sensibility

There was still about half an hour before the interview, Tang Xiaoyan poured himself a cup of tea, and then sat on the sofa and drank it slowly. After Ling Hujun glanced at him, his face first became even more ugly, and then he immediately looked away from Tang Xiaoyan, not because he was afraid of Tang Xiaoyan, but because he was even more restless after seeing Tang Xiaoyan. Then he simply followed Fang Jianxi's example, poured himself a cup of coffee, and sat down on the swivel chair.

"Hello!" The Yuan Tang Zhuo Demon on the opposite side nodded at Tang Xiaoyan, speaking very generally in Chinese.

Tang Xiaoyan nodded at him in a friendly manner.

Next, the four of them did not speak to each other again, but quietly waited for the time to come. About ten minutes later, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

The door to the lounge was opened, and from the outside came a dozen dressed officers. The lowest rank is lieutenant colonel, and most of them are generals and above.

Ling Hu Jun, Fang Jianxi, and Yuan Tang Zhuo Mo immediately stood up from the swivel chair and saluted solemnly. Tang Xiaoyan got up from the sofa, but did not salute.

Most of the officers who walked in ignored it and walked over directly, but a few of them nodded at Fang Jianxi in greeting. On the contrary, Fang Jianxi was still expressionless, and after waiting for the officers to pass, he put down the military salute.

Fang Jianxi also wanted to salute the military, but he was not a soldier yet, so he just stood up. However, it was found that because he did not salute, some of the officers in this group frowned slightly.

After another ten minutes, a major came over and said, "The interview begins, you come with me." ”

Tang Xiaoyan and the others followed him to the high-level conference room. On the high rostrum sat the dozen or so officers who had just passed, among them were Leng Ao, Jian Yun, Jian Boyong, and Coolidge. But there is no Ling Fox Chao, presumably because his son participated in the final interview, so he needs to avoid it. The remaining dozen or so officers Tang Xiaoyan didn't know each other, and it seemed that the principal of the Alliance Military Academy was not there, and it seemed that the instructor of the ghost mecha, Major General Jianli, was not there.

There were four chairs under the rostrum, with the names of Tang Xiaoyan and the four people written on them, and they each found their places and sat down.

Jian Boyong seemed to be the host of today's final interview, and he said lightly: "There are headphones and glasses in front of your seats, you put them on." ”

Tang Xiaoyan put on headphones and glasses.

"Now it's the first question of the public interview, and it tests the agility of thinking. You can only calculate by heart, how many ways are 54643 in 5 times? After the mental arithmetic is completed, write it directly on the touchpad in front of you. ”

Almost instantly, a calculation picture appeared in Tang Xiaoyan's brain, and about a second later, the answer appeared directly in his brain.

Then, Tang Xiaoyan quickly wrote on his touchpad: 487161180756231000881443.

After Tang Xiaoyan finished writing, fifteen seconds passed. Suddenly, the faces of the instructors on the rostrum changed suddenly, and they all looked at Tang Xiaoyan with a look of disbelief.

Because it takes about ten seconds to write these numbers, which means that Tang Xiaoyan calculated them almost instantly, which is simply incredible. At least these instructors here have never seen a genius with such a demonic ability in mental arithmetic.

Suddenly, several of the instructors began to look at Tang Xiaoyan very seriously for a while.

About a minute later, Fang Jianxi also gave the correct answer. To be honest, his mental arithmetic ability can also be regarded as a genius, but he just ran into Tang Xiaoyan, a demon. However, Fang Jianxi probably thought that he was the only one to complete it, so after it was completed, he seemed very idle. But instead of looking left and right frivolously and proudly, he sat in his place lightly, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

Two minutes later, Yuan Tang Scorching Demon also gave an answer.

Five minutes later, Ling Hujun also gave an answer, but it was wrong.

"The second question is subjective, what do the four think is the most important thing as a ghost mecha samurai? The answer must not exceed five words, starting with Fang Jianxi. ”

Fang Jianxi: "Instinct." ”

Yuan Tang Burning Demon: "Talent." ”

Ling Hujun: "Will." ”

Tang Xiaoyan thought for a while and said, "Instinct and talent. ”

As soon as this answer came out, many instructors frowned slightly, and then took out a pen and drew lightly on the notepad.

"Do you think there will be a war between the two major international powers in the East and the West, that is, the Eastern Union and the Sis, when will there be a war, and what is the reason for the war? Answer the word count, no more than a hundred words. ”

Fang Jianxi: "It will happen, it will happen within ten years, because the Sith Federation is accustomed to the unequal resources and labor contributions of underdeveloped countries, and the lack of the West's own industrial chain after the confrontation between East and West has led to the imperfection of the capital market chain." ”

Yuan Tang Zhuo Demon: "It will happen, it will happen in fifteen years, because the consciousness of the East and the West, the culture is different, because the population of the Eastern Union and the New World represented far exceeds that of the Sith. ”

Ling Hujun: "It will happen, it will happen in ten years, because of the shortage of global resources." ”

Tang Xiaoyan: "It will happen, it will happen in five years, because the contradictions between the union republics within the alliance broke out, leading to the Eastern and Western world wars. ”

Tang Xiaoyan's answer had just fallen, not only many officers on the rostrum, but even Fang Jianxi and others were also sideways. Because, this answer does seem a bit irrational, at least in the previous world, it was extremely difficult to find relevant examples. On the contrary, the answers given by Fang Jianxi and the others are very referential and rational.

Some of the instructors on the stage got into thinking a little, and some drew a few more on their notepads.

"Which of the Eastern and Western cultures do you think has the advantage? Why? ”

Fang Jianxi: "The merger of east and west has more advantages. We are strong now, as we can prove. ”

Yuan Tang Zhuomo: "Western culture, modern society is almost entirely based on Western civilization. ”

Ling Hujun: "The merger of things has more advantages, and the reason is the same as Fang Jianxi. ”

Tang Xiaoyan: "Eastern civilization has more advantages because it is more mediocre. Technique, diligence, will, rigor, etc. can all be improved through learning. If you are peaceful, you will not be aggressive, you will not be easy to be enemies of many countries and forces, and you will not be able to compete for the living space of other countries. It is conducive to the establishment of a relatively healthy order in an era of relative balance and stability in the scientific and technological revolution. ”

Tang Xiaoyan's answer made many officers on the stage frown, as hawks, as iron-blooded soldiers, they didn't like to hear the word Yonghe.

"Which is more important, intellectual or emotional, or usually dominates your thinking?"

Fang Jianxi: "Reason." ”

Yuan Tang Burning Demon: "Reason. ”

Fang Jianxi: "Reason." ”

Tang Xiaoyan hesitated slightly, he was only unwilling to be maverick or different, but he had other ideas.

"Emotion."

The officers on the rostrum frowned slightly, and most of them felt that as a senior officer, the most important thing was to think calmly.

"At present, there are strong conflicts and contradictions between the Eastern and Western forces in the world, in terms of consciousness, culture, and civilization, what do you think is the most important reason for this situation at this stage? Note that it is a contradiction in consciousness, not at the level of national strategy. ”

Fang Jianxi: "Interests." ”

Yuan Tang Zhuomo: "Politics." ”

Ling Hujun: "Class level. ”

Tang Xiaoyan: "Pride and prejudice. ”

"Last question, one day in the future, you are faced with this situation: you find that a union republic is doing something that is harmful to the interests of the Alliance, it is a strategic interest, and if you want to stop it, you must use force to kill it. The consequence of the kill will cause the republic to leave the alliance, or even join the hostile faction, causing the other republics to also leave the alliance. Now there are no other options, only two options, one is to use force to kill, leading to the split of the alliance. Second, if we do not stop it, we will allow the strategic interests of the alliance to be harmed. ”

Fang Jianxi: "Don't kill." ”

Yuan Tang Burning Demon thought about this question for a long time, and after a while, he replied, "Don't kill." ”

Linghu Jun: "Don't kill." ”

Tang Xiaoyan was going to be in pain again, he really didn't want to have a different answer, but his heart told him that if he faced this situation, he would shoot and kill.

"Kill!"

After Tang Xiaoyan's answer came out, the instructors' eyebrows twitched slightly, and they couldn't help but glance at each other again and exchange expressions with each other.

"Okay, that's the end of the interview, the four of you will avoid it first, and we will have a final consultation." Jian Boyong announced.
