There was an uproar.

It was clear that the crowd was frying again.

They originally thought that they were just being dragged to that mining area to work as miners, or to engage in some kind of hard production, and this military base was just used to supervise their facilities, but what they didn't expect was that Jiang Chen meant to let them become mercenaries?!

What are you kidding, it is precisely to escape the war that they have fled from afar. If they are kicked back to the battlefield again, then what's the point of them fleeing?

Immediately, someone asked this question loudly, and righteously accused Jiang Chen that no one had the right to forcibly stuff weapons into civilians who were unwilling to set foot on the battlefield.

Hearing this, those veterans from Ukraine laughed.

"What's the point of asking me? You'll understand later that I'm too lazy to talk nonsense. Ask me if I have a right? Of course not. But I also said that if you want to leave, you can go straight out. You have half an hour to hesitate, and if you remain in the base after half an hour, then I will accept it by default. ”

After speaking, Jiang Chen didn't care how these people protested, and directly turned around and got off the podium.

Naturally, there will be no applause, and he doesn't need applause.

Just like the Fish Bone Base at the beginning, when they find that they can't resist and find that they are actually doing well, they will naturally accept it gradually.

What's more, Ivan they will naturally train them to be warriors who are absolutely loyal to the organization and to him personally.

Walking next to Ivan, Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder.

"Over to you. ”

"Yes!BOSS!" shouted the East Slavic-faced veteran, still standing with his head up.

Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Chen greeted Aisha, who was silently standing in the shadow on the side, and then walked with her towards the headquarters of the base.

Walking on the road, Jiang Chen looked at Aisha who was walking beside him, and suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, Aisha, your hometown is in Syria, right? ”

"Hmm. ”

After a slight hesitation, Jiang Chen continued, "Uh. Will I do it make you feel uncomfortable, after all, it's from your hometown—"

"No, I'll always be on your side. Aisha shook her head. The cold face suddenly showed a smile, "Moreover, you are a very gentle person. ”

Jiang Chen almost didn't choke on his own saliva.

What the hell is gentleness?

"Ahem, although the first sentence makes me very excited, I don't agree with the latter sentence. "Except for the beginning. He never hesitated to kill when it was time to kill.

But then, a small hand came into his hand.

It seems that from that night by the river, she fell in love with the feeling of being held by the hand, always shoving her hand in when she was not expecting it.

"Remember when you were in that truck?" Aisha whispered.

Although it was not clear why she mentioned the past, Jiang Chen still smiled and squeezed her little hand.

"Of course I remember, how could I have forgotten. ”

It's funny to say, he didn't even see that Aisha was a girl.

"Even in the face of me as a stranger, when you see my hungry eyes, you still reach out. ”

Jiang Chen smiled, "Are you referring to biscuits? That thing is very cheap." ”

Aisha shook her head. He squeezed Jiang Chen's hand, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"But you still chose to share instead of watching from the sidelines, didn't you?" On the way to escape alone, she was almost numb to the cold eyes.

Stunned, he lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought.

Share?

Is that what people think of me?

Aisha glanced at Jiang Chen and smiled softly.

"There was a king, who was generous, merciful, and heroic. ”

"His borders began in the west from Thrace. It is bordered by the Indus River Plain to the east, the Amu Darya River to the north, and the Persian Gulf to the south. ”

"He reigned in Damascus as a conqueror, but he gained the respect of those who were invaded. ”

"The Egyptians took his name in the desert. Build a city and engrave his deeds. ”

Like an epic poem, she recited it as if she were talking to herself.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly burst out laughing.

"But the empire was short-lived. "Are you talking about Alexander?

Just because this empire is the same age as his king, if he is given enough time.

But at this point, Aisha only smiled slightly. Didn't say it.

Obviously, he only needs to use bullets to suppress, coerce his relatives, and force them to submit by forceful means, let them live in shacks, and live by watching his face.

But he didn't, and the living conditions here were much better than in the camps, and he even paid them a salary and gave them hope.

Feeling the warmth in her hands, Aisha gently closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth

What are you kidding? Hiking through the desert?

The refugees were chattering and protesting with emotion.

However, the protest was apparently ineffective, and Ivan and the other instructors stood there like statues, ignoring the indignant faces. The protests gradually escalated, but remained under the cordon of violent clashes.

Force is always the best deterrent.

The instructors each carried a pitch-black automatic rifle around their waists, the black muzzle of which warned anyone who dared to try to use violence.

Half an hour passed quickly.

The corners of Ivan's mouth furled, and he beckoned nine comrades to surround him

In the command post, Jiang Chen and Roberts stood side by side by the window, smiling at the situation on the playground.

"**, I can't see it, you still have a talent for speech. Roberts laughed as he held a cigarette butt and rested his arm on the windowsill.

"I have a lot of talent. Also lying on the windowsill, Jiang Chen grinned and said with a smile.

It's not so much a talent, but a step-by-step practice. If he had been asked to speak in front of more than 100 people three months ago, he would not have been able to utter a single word for a long time. Now, there is no need to take a manuscript.

"Do you know what came to mind when I was standing here watching you speak?"

"What?" Jiang Chen asked casually, his eyes still on the playground.

There was already action on the playground, and someone tried to snatch Ivan's gun, only to be knocked down by the veteran's easy butt.

"Hitler. Roberts comically learned the movements of a Führer, and said with a smiling smile, "But you didn't learn his demagoguery, you should draw them a loaf of bread." Tell them that you can eat it if you are loyal to me or something. ”

"Not at all," Jiang Chen sneered. Getting up from the window, "I paid them enough. ”

With that, he left the command room.

Looking at Jiang Chen's departing back, Roberts shrugged his shoulders and continued to look at the playground.

Over there. The riots are over.

Perhaps it was in Ukraine that he developed the experience of suppressing riots, and Ivan led nine of his comrades to successfully control the situation.

Despite the anger on their faces, the refugees on the playground were honestly divided into ten columns, each led by an instructor to reorganize. Their spouses and children were repatriated from the playground to their assigned homes.

The training began immediately, and the first task was to run two laps around the 20-hectare site.

When to finish the run, when to eat.

If you don't cooperate, then take your wife and children and starve with them.

If it's just that I'm hungry, maybe someone will try to resist. But when I hear that it's not just them, it's their families who are starving

All chose to compromise.

Under the scorching sun, figures ran around the base. Wisps of yellow sand rose behind him.

When they dragged their exhausted bodies, finally finished two laps, and collapsed at the gate of the base, those ruthless Ukrainian instructors, instead of the slightest pity, announced like devils that such long-distance running would become the norm in the future.

Although there are complaints, they are too tired to complain.

But the good thing is that it's dusk, and that's the end of today's training.

When they dragged their tired bodies and brought their families to the cafeteria to receive the steaming meal. Suddenly it doesn't seem so bad here.

Roasted golden turkey, stewed lamb broth, brightly colored vegetable salad

In terms of food, I don't know how many times better it is than in a refugee camp.

Maybe it's because the fatigue after exercise gives rise to an appetite. This dinner, they ate extra sweet.

Many people added several copies back and forth, and Jiang Chen was not stingy with the amount of supply in this regard.

Hassan sat down beside his wife, Lima, with a bowl of mutton soup, grabbed the white bread and dipped it in the broth, and took a hard bite.

Looking at the tired husband. Rema reached out with some concern and wiped the dust off his forehead.

"What do they do to you?"

"It doesn't seem like much other than running, but who knows in the future? Hell, those instructors aren't even human. With a curse, Hasa gobbled up the food on his plate. Because of the large amount of physical exertion, he is now very appetizing, and he is eager to eat a camel.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but all the people here are Christians who have embraced secularization. So sitting in the dining room with no veil or turban in sight, Hassan pouted chicken and bread and thought about the future.

He is 20 years old and his wife is 19. Originally, he planned to have a child last year, but the situation suddenly escalated, and it seemed that overnight, the shadow of IS loomed over half of Syria. Because he belonged to the "infidels", he naturally did not dare to stay in his hometown, so he took his wife away from home and came to a refugee camp on the border.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, he was brought here.

Becoming a mercenary? He had never considered this profession.

But now it seems that there are not many options in front of him.

"Will you go to war?" said Rima hesitantly.

"If you become a mercenary, you should be. Hassan grinned, snorted, shoved the bread into his mouth, and glanced at the instructor who was also sitting in the cafeteria.

He was very confused about what the future would hold.

However, the three-year contract gave him some hope.

"In 3 years, let's have children again. I will work hard to provide a stable environment for you and your children. Hassan said.

Rima looked at him, a mist of emotion appeared in her eyes, and she lowered her head shyly.

"Hmm. ”

In any case, the family came with them, and they had to work hard even if it was for them.

Let's talk about it later, let's take a step at a time.

Hassan's idea is the same as that of the other recruits in the base.

At least this meal, people can't complain. (To be continued.) )
