No wonder Ivan Ivankov came up with such a hellish expression, it was really unexpected, too surprised, too shocked!

He used to be a captain officer in the Alpha Brigade, although the Alpha with a total of about 700 people was nicknamed the officer brigade, and the proportion of officers in the organization was very high, in fact, there were still non-commissioned officers in the internal personnel composition.

There are no ordinary soldiers, and Alpha only has new members, and there is no new recruit!

Ivan is a lieutenant, and his rank in the alpha is also considered to be in the middle and upper, and he knows some secrets of the legendary level: in the units under the jurisdiction of the KGB, the alpha is strong internally, and the signal flag for the main task is also very strong, so it can be said that each has its own merits.

It is not absolute at home and abroad, and in the past few years, Alpha has appeared in Afghanistan a lot, and among the people who attacked the Afghan presidential palace, there were many people in the Alpha Brigade.

Although the GRU on the side of the General Directorate of Military Intelligence is also very strong, in the heart of Ivan, the Alpha, the GRU still seems to be a little worse than the Alpha: the GRU is an external unit, and the Alpha always has a little unconscious sense of self-superiority in psychology.

As for the other special forces, in the Soviet Union, there were a large number of them, not to mention the "central-central" level, and in terms of the army alone, all the combined armies, mechanized group armies, and major military regions that did not have reconnaissance detachments directly under the General Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff Headquarters, or that did not have GRU reconnaissance detachments, all had an independent special forces company of 120 people.

However, in the opinion of Ivan Ivankov, these special operations companies are half a grade inferior to Alpha and Signal Banners, so how strong are Alpha and Signal Banners, which are also badges with the theme of "shield and sword"?

Not to mention the overall combat capability, the quality of individual soldiers is superb: the signal flag side is not very clear, but on the Alpha side, everyone can do 200 push-ups in a row, this small meaning, basic physical fitness.

If you don't have good physical fitness, you can be selected for the alpha team, and you have to have a good brain, and there is one requirement that will discourage many people: as long as you look at an unfamiliar article, you can remember at least the first two pages!

The core membership has historically been maintained at 250 people, who will use any common means of transportation, whether cars, tanks, planes, or ships...

Of course, if you give him an F15 or a Black Hawk, he may not be able to fly, and the MiG-21 and Mi-8 are still not a big problem, this is the "common" concept.

The composition of the Alpha Special Forces is such that it is carefully selected from among the outstanding graduates of the state security organs, the Airborne Forces, the Border Guards, and the military academy, which must be physically strong, responsive, and also required to pass an intelligence test!

The signal flag should be similar to the GRU, but is this the strongest sword of Soviet intelligence?

No!

There is a legend that within the KGB, the Alpha and the Signal Banner are not the strongest force at all, and every year several of the best members of the two units are drawn to participate in a training team.

Unfortunately, there are basically three or five people who go there every year, but very few are not sent back, and it is said that there have been cases where no one has been able to pass the test of the training team for five or six years in a row.

Ivan had also fought for a place in that assessment, and Alpha had to compete first, but unfortunately it was 89 years old when he was eligible to participate in the assessment, and the mysterious training team was suspended from recruiting, and he only got a training name from his superiors.

Yes, this was the first time he had heard the name of that training team, at that time he had been transferred from the Airborne Forces and entered Alpha for 5 years after the assessment, and he had seen more than a dozen brothers who had failed the assessment and were returned, but those people did not say the name of the training team at all.

As for other details, they are even tighter, apparently because of the discipline and confidentiality regulations at work.

The name of that training team is: Improving the Officer Establishment Training Team!

A very strange and confusing name.

Later, the social situation became turbulent like the collapse of the Shata, and the Soviet Union was gone in the blink of an eye, and some old guys who had participated in the mysterious assessment talked about the secret that seemed to no longer need to be kept secret - the improvement of the officer establishment training team, and the people who participated in the assessment were people from all branches of the military and all units, as well as the best of the intelligence agencies and military academies, there were really all kinds of people, with complex backgrounds, and the common point was that they were all elites among the elites!

But the instructor of the assessment told them: if you don't pass the assessment, you are nothing, and even if you pass the assessment, you are a semi-finished product!

The instructor also said: this strange training team is both the name of the "training class" and the official name of a unit, but the opponents of the Western world have given them a more pleasant name.

The instructor hoped that these people who came for the examination would in the future become his colleagues and become the ones who would make all the enemies of the Soviets fearful, because the opponents gave them the code name "Red Devil"!

Simple means of encouragement, those who do not pass must swear in the name of the Soviets to keep it secret, otherwise the consequences will be thought of for themselves.

Later, the Soviet Union was gone, and the state was gone, so there was no such thing as confidentiality or secrecy.

Ivan Ivankov never imagined that at a critical moment, it was those former legends who reached out to rescue him, and there were many problems here.

However, Ivan didn't have time to think too much, his eyes were over, and he looked up and said to the leader: "You are the Red Devil?"

By this time, two of the four people who had come up had put their guns to the side to check on the two fugitives who were lying on the side, unconscious.

The other also put the gun behind his back and crouched down to check on Ivan's condition.

As soon as he heard this, he was going to help him check the injury: "Yes, Red Devil, it seems that you have participated in the training team, but unfortunately I have not been in charge of the training part, we have not met." ”

As he spoke, he was about to wrench Ivan's back on the wheels to see where he was hurting.

Ivan Ivankov no longer had any doubts in his mind: if he could tell about the training team, these people were the Red Devils!

stretched out his hand, signaled not to move himself, and said quickly: "We don't have gunshot wounds on our bodies, it's poisoning, and I don't think we can last long, let me finish my words!"

"Say!"

Cyrill was neat and didn't say anything he was going to say.

Ivan Ivankov turned his head slightly, looked at the two guys lying on the side and said: "That's Alexander Voronov central defender and Boris Kordonov, my old subordinates, both Alpha who left last year."

We are from here to the north through two intersections, turn right on the right side of the first large villa to kill, the house is easy to recognize, the main door to the north, double open the big iron gate, against the west side of the courtyard wall there are three large palm trees in a row.

The economy collapsed in the first half of the year, and in order to feed our family, we worked as casino security guards in Moscow. Later, someone recruited mercenaries to the Middle East with high salaries in the underground world, so we went, saying that it was from the special operations company of the group army below, and we were embarrassed to discredit Alpha.

After that, I went to Shah, the income is good, I usually escort drugs, some members of the royal family are not as glamorous as they seem, and I also train some militants who don't know where to come, but I have never met the backstage boss, only the middle contact.

If they don't do these things themselves, once they are caught, they will be beheaded, and they will definitely die.

The other day... I can't remember a few days ago, fifty thousand dollars each, a one-time mission, an ambush of two classic cars going to Mecca ... The information is accurate, and there are definitely ghosts...... Then I lived in that house..."

Speaking of which, the Red Devils all found that this Ivan was almost talking to himself, and his consciousness had begun to blur, and it could be seen that he said his name first, not wanting himself and the two old fellows to be nameless corpses.

Perhaps, he also expected the Red Devils to bring back their news for the sake of their former fellow KGB, which was a thought.

“... We are poisoned in the restaurant... I don't know if it's food or air..."

Ivan couldn't hold on any longer, and Kirill looked at him with his head tilted...

Not dead, just unconscious.

There is also breathing and heartbeat, at least this will not die, it should be able to hold on for at least a few minutes, ten minutes, because the other two guys who have lost consciousness will still have a heartbeat, but the situation is not optimistic.

Kirill never interrupted the words of this Captain Ivankov, because this man had already told the most valuable news: the house where they had been hiding!

No matter who the house belongs to, whether it is borrowed, rented or the main messenger behind the scenes, the guy hiding behind it can't escape, and it won't be too difficult to continue to investigate.

The Red Devils don't have any grudges against this Ivan, they just know that the attack is on the Shah's insiders, and they don't know the twists and turns inside, and they don't care about it.

Now that you're a mercenary, who cares about that.

They did not directly clash with their own side, but only acted as a tool for the mastermind behind the scenes to eradicate their targets, and indirectly contacted their own side, and they were not enemies.

A quick explanation of the situation over the intercom would make Pavel stand beside him, putting on his Arab robes.

"Let's take a detour to continue the feast, you retreat at once, take these three, and see if you can detoxify them. ”

Retreat, this battle broke out suddenly, there will be intermittent gunfire, that is to let the people in these blocks be honest, don't come to join in the fun!

There are no probes on the streets at all, but those mansions have them at the door, and they have avoided them.

Armed elements without any documents, this is a cat, Pavel judged that his disguised identity on his side could still be used, provided that he continued to go to the banquet.

If you are bold enough to bet on the Shah's government, or some people in the Shah's leadership, you don't want to make a big deal out of it.

Besides, how about making a lot of trouble!

This is the city of Jeddah, with convenient transportation and high population density, not to look down on the Shah, but really to look down on the Shah!

There are 13 of them, you can go anywhere!

Even if you are surrounded, you don't have to worry about it, there are so many important people here, and it's not too simple to find some hostages or something.

Be bold, that is with absolute strength as a foundation, even if the city of Jeddah is turned upside down, no one will know who they are.

But Kirill and the others have to leave, and they have to take the three former alpha members with them to see if they can be saved.

Everyone immediately took action, and the three luxury cars seemed to be a little flustered and detoured, Kirill and the others drove over in two cars, and the three alphas were stuffed into one of the vans, and they ran away.

The road was smooth, and after driving for several kilometers, I encountered a police car rushing over, crossing over, and I didn't have time to set up a card at all.

The Red Devils are fast enough that the Shah don't have time to react, or maybe someone in the Shah is deliberately trying to react slower!

Only the Red Devils knew that all the armed men in the uniforms of the security forces had been killed, and even the hidden mastermind should only know that it was the men they sent out to kill the people who clashed with their targets.

......

Yuri continues to pretend to be the prince to attend the banquet, which is a good place to take refuge even if it doesn't happen. Besides, it's polite to show up for the appointment on time, not to mention that the other people in the banquet will be the best hostages if necessary.

The "Prince" recounted the fierce gunfights that had taken place with his host, and some of the guests who had arrived early and were afraid to leave for the time being were like listening to a thrilling adventure.

It's an adventure, no one cares about how the police who should have arrived outside are solving the case, and no one thinks that Yuri, who heard the shootout from afar, should contact the police, because the people here are all royal, and they will not deal directly with ordinary police.

Yuri also gained from venturing to the banquet, at least he now knew who the house where Ivan and the others were originally hiding: it was two or three hundred meters away, and in fact, there were two mansions separated by it.

Because of the proximity, the bodyguards of the host's family and the bodyguards brought by the guests got to know each other, and each patrolled the manor with their own weapons.

A high-ranking officer from the police came to the door politely and asked if anything unusual had ever been noticed, only to be answered by the security guards: the first gunshots may have erupted on the side of the neighbors of their hosts.

That's it, nothing else, do you like to listen or not.

The royal family also wanted to know some news, and heard others say that it was not as good as their own people to see.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of this high-ranking officer to come to the door, a red devil and the prince's security director, plus several other princes and princes' security personnel, approached the newly raised cordon to observe and inquire by the way.

Observe above board, ask about the situation.

It's easy on one end, it's troublesome on the other!

Halfway through the evacuation, Kirill and the others drove to a pharmacy and robbed a private clinic.

What a robbery: although it was not very late, the doctor was already off duty, but there was still a staff on duty.

People are injured, money is stolen, and clinics are turned into a mess: the Shah has strict controls on many drugs, such as those that cause addiction, and there is still a market in the black market.

The car directly started a rapid infusion, and the antidote was also injected.

"What kind of poison is in them?"

Kirill asked Valentin, who was administering an IV bolus to Ivan.

Warenjing didn't raise his head, and said quickly: "It's not hydride, it's probably either cholinergic or neurotoxin, and the Shah people have some skills."

I give them anticholinergics and methylene blue, and it depends on their luck whether they can survive or not. ”

"You're not sure?"

"I'm a little sure, do you know how many neurotoxins there are?

I can't count them all!

I'm calling a dead horse a live horse doctor!"
