It was evident that Bird was very intimidating to Matt, and when he had finished speaking, Matt glanced at him and left, walking dejectedly to a table, where a soldier who was joking with a friend brought him a bottle of beer, which he held up and poured into his mouth.

Bird motioned for Qin Shiou to find a place to sit down, and the TV began to play a documentary on Britain's modern war, starting from the First World War, the soldiers looked at it blankly, and then continued to laugh together.

"The commemoration starts at eleven o'clock." Bird said calmly, "It's still early. ”

Qin Shiou looked at the time, it was only half past nine, and it was indeed very early. But are these GIs drinking a little early? Start drinking it now, then they probably won't be able to stay up at night.

Glancing at these soldiers, Qin Shiou found that they didn't seem to be very familiar, and some of them were introducing themselves, so he asked Bird suspiciously.

"Yes, we didn't serve together, but through someone, we were able to connect, like the Black Knife, they weren't like I was seconded to Canada, they just had Canadian ......comrades when they were mercenaries," Bird said.

Bird spreads his hands, and the meaning is self-evident.

Ferguson took a bottle of beer to Qin Shiou and asked, "Have a drink?" ”

Qin Shiou took the beer and said, "Have a drink." ”

Ferguson sat opposite Qin Shiou, raised the wine bottle and said: "First sip to you for taking care of the guys, I chatted with Black Knife, and I can often hear him talk about you." This guy is not easy to convince people, but he seems to admire you. ”

"I'm his boss, pay him a salary, of course he has to admire me." Qin Shiou said with a smile. "We should admire everyone who can pay their salaries, right?"

Ferguson shrugged, "Maybe?" But not everyone is like you. Willing to give such a favorable treatment. Don't blame Matt, you saw it. We're all mixed up, but it's not really good. ”

Saying that, Ferguson shook his head, and Nelson answered: "Yes, if it weren't for the BOSS, then I would probably have to be a gun shop caretaker for the rest of my life, maybe I would survive until I retire, I could get a pension, and then die like this." ”

"Yes, neither Canada nor the United States," Bird said. I don't care about the dog that leaves the house. But what's the solution? We went to join the army just because we couldn't find a job, but we are not really patriotic, are you patriotic? ”

Ferguson made a gesture with his mutilated right hand to count bills: "I just love this thing, country?" Fuck it. ”

Qin Shiou stopped interjecting, and listened to them talk about the past in the army and the things in life in the first two years, the former was mainly funny and funny, and the latter was full of sadness.

"By the way, do you remember Leclerc? That little bastard who drove a tank drag racer? Ferguson asked Bird.

Bird frowned, then shook his head. He asked Black Knife: "Hey, wait, which Leclerc is driving a tank drag racer?" I don't have much of an impression of him anymore. ”

Black Knife smiled: "Of course you are not impressed, there is nothing between you." Old Ferguson brought it up? This bastard is drunk, and he's messing up your relationship. ”

Ferguson said: "It doesn't matter, it's a good guy anyway. He died last year, beaten to death while fighting for territory with Mexicans. It was me and two fellows who went to collect his corpse, and it died like a dog. ”

Bird said expressionlessly, "It's not bad. Not suicidal, right? Look at Matt, I bet the reason for his later death must have been that he swallowed a gun. ”

Qin Shiou sat on the side and listened incrediblely, these people talked about death so lightly, and even predicted the death of their comrades-in-arms. If he was talking about college classmates, it would definitely not be so easy.

The change in his expression did not hide from the soldiers, and Ferguson asked, "Mr. Qin, do you know what we regret the most after retiring?" ”

Qin Shiou thought about it for a moment and said, "Shouldn't I retire?" ”

Ferguson laughed: "Almost, or rather, we should have died on the battlefield instead of trying to survive!" If we die there, like Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico or whatever, it doesn't matter where the is, at least there is a coffin, a flag, and compensation, and what about after retirement? Damn, it's not as alive as a dog, it's the same as a dog! ”

His last words were so loud that everyone behind them heard them, and most of them raised their bottles and shouted, "Fuck, come, celebrate our dog-like lives!" ”

Qin Shiou also raised the wine bottle, he found that after staying with the soldiers this time, these guys are a little cynical, China is a college student and a veteran, which is also a characteristic of the two countries.

He told Bird and Nelson about this, and Bird sighed and said, "It's different, we guys have all been on the battlefield, and we have seen a lot of life and death. If it were those rookie soldiers, they would have had nothing but laughter. ”

Nelson saw that Qin Shiou didn't understand, and further explained: "The guys in our small circle have all been in war-torn places, and they have almost been killed by people after killing people. Rookie soldiers are the kind of soldiers who have only been stationed in the country, and after a few years of training, they go home, for them, the military career is a stage of life that can be flaunted, but for us, it is a nightmare. ”

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported that Brigadier General Hugh MacKay, the chief medical officer of the Canadian Army, had published a report saying that the suicide rate of Canadian soldiers who had been sent to Afghanistan and other places to participate in military missions was significantly higher than the Canadian Army average.

Qin Shiou looked at Bird and Nelson and said, "I don't think there is anything wrong with the psychology of the two of you, right?" Why? What are your tips? ”

In contrast, Matt just now and now Ferguson can actually see the signs of mental illness, such as Matt can directly see that he is a bit psychopathic, Qin Shiou feels that this guy may take revenge on society in the future.

Listening to his inquiry, Nelson said coldly: "It's very simple, kill more people, kill until you are numb." ”

Qin Shiou looked at the two of them in astonishment, Bird rolled his eyes and waved his hand: "Please, idiot, if you are joking, you have to be OK on different occasions?" ”

He looked at Qin Shiou and said: "This is related to many factors, one is the type of troops, I, Nelson and Black Knife, when we perform tasks, we are all snipers, and we experience less heartbeat moments, and there is not so much stimulation." The other thing is the idea, we can see it, so we feel better. ”

"But to be honest, it's more because we're in a place like a fishery, where the environment is beautiful, the pace of life is slow, and we're surrounded by people with similar interests, and there's a lot of money, and there's less pressure, and we don't have pressure, which is the main thing," Nelson said.
