Aleppo, an important city in northern Syria and the capital of Aleppo province, is the second largest city in Syria. It is located in an oasis in the northwestern highlands near the border of Turkey, just over 90 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea and the Euphrates.

As early as the 2nd century BC, Aleppo was at the crossroads of several important trade routes, ruled by the Hittites, Assyrians, Arabs, Mongols, Mamluks, and Turks. In Aleppo, the 13th-century citadel, the 12th-century Grand Mosque and the 17th-century Grand Palace, as well as desert inns and bathhouses, form a unique urban architecture that attracts tourists from all over the world every year.

Today, Aleppo ushered in an extremely rare drizzle, which shrouded the entire city in a hazy rain of smoke and ethereal smell.

In a standard room on the eighteenth floor of the Sham Hotel, Long Zaitian leans in the right corner of the curtain that covers the sky from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and silently overlooks the whole city of Aleppo through the special viewing scope equipped by the sniper.

The Aleppo Fort on the outskirts of the city is tall and majestic, and it looks indescribably solemn and solemn. The camera swept over the gate in front of the castle carved with the vicissitudes of time, and a complete and spectacular ancient building came into view.

After more than 1,000 years of ups and downs, most of the castle's architecture is still intact, and even some of the subtle carvings can be clearly seen. Long Zaitian couldn't help but secretly sigh at the ingenuity of the ancient Arabs and their ingenuity in architectural design. It's no wonder that so many tourists from all over the world linger here every day.

As a sniper observer, Long Zaitian's mission today is to help his partner find all the enemies that might threaten his target in the tens of thousands of people who come to visit the ancient castle of Aleppo.

In previous operations, Long Zaiten, who has the reputation of the strongest "King of Snipers" in Rock, appeared as the main sniper, however. This time, the mission is not mainly sniping, but focusing on identifying potential enemies. Therefore, he gave the task of sniping targets to his partner, who had previously been his observer, and his distant cousin Ryu Zaita, while he himself was responsible for specifying sniper targets for his partner.

As the sun sets, the night falls. It is about to bring a touch of the cold of night to this land, which was once favored by Allah.

In the evening, the tourists who lingered at Aleppo Fort began to leave one by one. A pair of middle-aged men and women of European and American descent in ordinary clothes still wander slowly around the castle, occasionally taking pictures of each other with cameras, and occasionally asking other tourists to take pictures with them.

"In the field, at nine o'clock, 1,260 meters away, pay attention to the white man and woman. ”

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the sniper, who had been lying motionless in the makeshift sniper position with mattress and pillows, slowly turned the huge muzzle of the M82A1 Bartlet, which had no pseudo-ornaments, with a flame suppressor. The focal length of the 10x scope is then gently adjusted until the two targets are clearly locked by the cursor tick mark in the scope.

"Hehe, Brother Tian, these two should be from the CIA. Long Zaitian's tone seemed to be very relaxed and smiled: "The makeup is quite professional, but the details of their vigilant reactions that they don't reveal lightly still reveal their identity as professionally trained agents." ”

"There are quite a few Americans who have come to Aleppo this time!" Long Zaitian also whispered a little gloatingly: "It is estimated that it will be difficult for Lao Maozi to get the information smoothly this time. ”

"By the way, Brother Tian, why do we want to help Lao Maozi!"

"It's not that the big boss behind the scenes of our rock doesn't like the Americans!"

"I don't know what kind of information is being handed over this time. It is worth it that the Americans are so excited. ”

"I reckon, it's definitely strategic-level intelligence. Maybe it has something to do with nuclear weapons. Long Zaitian thoughtfully guessed: "Looking at all the conflicts between the United States and the Soviet Union since the Cold War, except for the Cuban Missile Crisis that year, this time is the biggest movement. ”

Long Zaitian and Long Zaitian, one is twenty-eight years old and the other is twenty-seven years old, both of them are from the Swiss invisible family Long family. Ancestral home in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, both of them are senior ace snipers of the Panshi mercenaries, who have served in Panshi for more than seven years, and have participated in almost all combat missions in Panshi, and are genuine "veterans" in the Panshi mercenaries.

Before the two joined Rock. He spent two years in the French Foreign Legion. At that time, Panshi recruited mercenaries from all over the world, and the brothers did not hesitate to choose to withdraw from the French Foreign Legion and go to participate in the rigorous trial training of this international mercenary organization mainly composed of Chinese, and successfully passed the test and were admitted.

"Brother Tian, this mission is over, you should also retire and return to the family to take over the power of the family guard, right?"

"Let's talk about it!" Long Zaitian sighed, "If possible, I would like to take the officer examination of the Eastern Union Defense Force." ”

"Join the Eastern Union Defense Force, Brother Tian, you also have this idea?" Long Zaitian turned his face, his eyes looked at Long Zaitian with obvious surprise.

"Listen to what you mean, could it be that you also have this plan?" Long Zaitian also surprised a little bit and did not answer the rhetorical question.

"According to the practice of Panshi over the years, all Chinese children who have served in Panshi can be promoted to the rank of first class after entering the Donglian National Defense Force, as long as they pass the political examination of the relevant departments of the Eastern Union of Eastern Union. Long Zaitian hugged "Bartlet" and continued to look at the target through the scope as he said:

"With our foundation, it shouldn't be a big problem to pass the guò political trial. Brother Tian, you are a captain in the rock, I am a lieutenant, and you have entered the Eastern Union Defense Force, you are a major, I am a captain, with our military qualities, it is very possible to become a battalion and company-level military commander. ”

"The elders of our Long family have not yet formed a unified consensus on whether to move their families to the Oriental Union and join the nationality of the Oriental Union. Long Zaitian looked at Aleppo in the night with his hands on the scope, and muttered in his mouth: "I think we young people can push them." The founding of the Eastern Union has not been long in the country, and as long as we have real skills, it is entirely possible to gain high-level real power in the Eastern Union military system in the future. ”

"Brother Tian, your prestige is the highest in our generation in the Long family, as long as you speak, everyone will definitely listen to you. ”

"The Long family, if you want to get rid of the fate of the vassal family of the Rothschild family, the only way is for someone of our younger generation to get ahead in the Eastern Union!" Long Zaitian seemed to himself and said: "Our Long family can't be the Rothschild's money-making tool for generations!"

Long Zaitian quickly turned his face after hearing this, and said with an extremely firm look in his eyes: "Brother Tian, no matter what decision you make, I will follow you!"

As brothers in the family who grew up together, Ryu Zaitian knew better than any of his peers in the family how much pressure Ryu was under in his heart.

Although Long Zaitian is the son of Long Congyun, the patriarch of the Long family, he is not the eldest son, but a concubine, the son of the second lady of Long Congyun, and there are two sisters on it.

Since the Long family moved west to Europe and settled in Switzerland in 1860, they have maintained their Chinese traditions and have not been overly influenced by Western culture, especially in terms of patriarchy and marriage. Because every male of the Long family shoulders the mission of spreading branches and leaves for the family, to ensure that the bloodline of the Long family will not be swallowed up by the river of history because of the development of the times.

More than 100 years ago, in view of the harsh living environment of the Chinese in Europe, the ancestors of the Long family chose to join the Rothschild family and became a vassal family of the Rothschild family, silently providing various services for the Rothschild family in all aspects, the most important of which was to play the role of the Rothschild family's external thug.

For more than a hundred years, the Long family did not know how many competitors and potential rivals they had secretly cut off for the Rothschilds. This also made the fate of the Long family more and more tied by the Rothschilds. Because the principals of the Long family know that if the Long family chooses to break away from the Rothschild family, the blood debt borne by the Long family for generations will definitely make the Long family full of enemies in this world.

After the end of World War II, the Rothschild family suffered the biggest blow in history, which undoubtedly gave the Long family hope to get rid of the shackles of the Rothschild family.

After the establishment of the "Tianhai Xiangyun" club, the family guard team of the Long family also put on the commercial legal cloak of "Xiangyun Security Company". It's just that this paramilitary private army has never done business except to provide security services for the assets of the Rothschilds and the Long family around the world.

Each generation of the Long family selects a certain number of males to join the French Foreign Legion for formal military training to ensure that the family guard is up to date with the military aspects. When it came to the young people of Long Zaitian's generation, a total of seven young men of the Long family served in the French Foreign Legion.

It's just that during Long Zaitian's service in the French Foreign Legion, five children of the Long family died in different combat missions because of intelligence errors. And this is also the main reason why Long Zaitian chose to quit the French Foreign Legion and join the Rock Mercenaries.

As the head of the Long family, because there are two half-brothers in Long Zaitian, Long Zaitian is destined to become a sharp blade of the family in his life, and he cannot dominate in the business sea like other brothers and sisters.

Like many of his peers, Long Zaitian is also a promising young man with great ambitions.

Revitalizing the family and breaking away from the control of the Rothschild family is the biggest ideal of Long Zaitian's life.

Originally, Long Zaitian thought that his ideal was still very distant and ethereal. However, after Panshi heard various legends about Yang Weiping, Long Zaitian gradually realized that the ideal in his heart was no longer a luxury.

Yang Weiping can start from scratch to build such a huge foundation as Oriental Union Union, why can't he be in the sky......?
