"Returning in military attire, are you trying to show me your determination?"
With a stern gaze scrutinizing her, Regan Wright spoke in a deep voice, the pressure only increasing, not decreasing.
Gazing straight at him, Flossie Wright calmly responded.
"Hmph," Regan Wright snorted coldly, his expression growing even more severe as he asked emphatically, "You want to be a Frogman?"
Her reply was brief, yet her determination remained undiminished.
"Do you know what it means to wear this uniform?"
Regan Wright’s tone was very calm, but it was also deep and forceful.
Flossie Wright subconsciously furrowed her brows.
Listening to his words, it seemed it wasn’t as simple as letting her not become a Frogman.
With a somewhat composed mind, Flossie Wright declared loudly, "To protect our home and country, to guard the people!"
"Does the country need your protection?" Suddenly, Regan Wright’s voice rose several decibels.
Unexpectedly, this word by word, struck at her heart.
With a stern expression, Flossie Wright stood straight and declared decisively.
"I have the ability!"
With a fixed gaze, her determined eyes swept over, and Flossie Wright answered resolutely and forcefully.
Regan Wright was taken aback momentarily.
His previous agitation slowly dispersed, and Regan Wright took a step forward, scrutinizing Flossie Wright from head to toe with a gaze that sent shivers down the spine.
He had never seen Flossie Wright this confident.
When he learned that Flossie Wright had become a Frogman, he had used his connections to inquire, and it turned out Flossie Wright had already been preselected as a Sniper by the Frogman unit.
They granted her the qualification to become a Sniper.
Which meant she was truly outstanding.
He had watched Flossie Wright grow up. For twenty years, he had tried to find her strengths, but he could not find any merit in her worth his approval.
Until she said she was going to the Forces.
Even though her motives were not pure.
At that time, facing her parents’ persuasion, it was with his insistence that Flossie Wright successfully managed to go to the Forces.
In his view, this was nothing special, as Regan Wright himself had once been pressed into serving as a conscript for two years.
Going to the Forces, serving for two years, would somewhat blunt her sharpness and perhaps make her more mature, no longer doing so many childish and absurd things.
Now, Flossie Wright didn’t want to be just a conscript; she intended to continue down this path.
To become a true soldier.
In almost a year’s time, Flossie Wright had indeed changed a lot in the Forces, and their previous confrontations had made him see Flossie Wright in a new light.
"There are many capable people, but that cannot determine whether you can be a qualified soldier," he paused slightly, his weathered face growing more solemn as he slowly continued, "The country needs true heroes who dare to give their lives, not a bunch of cowards afraid to die! Capability is not an important factor in assessing you, the most important thing is whether you have the spirit to sacrifice!"
Taken aback, Flossie Wright looked at him, beginning to reconsider his purpose.
"Flossie Wright, I’m asking you now, if this country truly needs you, would you sacrifice yourself for the country?!" His voice grew louder, Regan Wright asked with emphasis.
Would you sacrifice yourself for the country?
He was assessing her, whether she could truly become a soldier or not. Otherwise, she should not waste the country’s cultivation.
Without the spirit of sacrifice, how can you talk about protecting your home and country?!
