There are only ten members of the Doomsday Force, except for Chu Tianjiang, they are Major Aldrich from the 6th Detachment of the US Navy SEALs, Major Petronovich from the Russian Alpha Special Forces, Major Alfred from the British Special Air Service Brigade, Major Vincent from the 2nd Airborne Infantry Regiment of the French Foreign Legion, Major Schulz from the 9th Frontier Brigade of the German Wehrmacht, Major General Kojiro Nakamura from the Japanese Special Garrison, and Major Halevy from the 669th Search and Rescue Force of the Israel Defense Forces. Major Sullivan from the Australian Airborne Special Service, and Major MacDonald from the Canadian Special Service.

These ten special forces, all of them are not idle.

Major Aldrich, for example, is the only Navy SEAL to have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his outstanding performance in combat operations in five years.

The medal, nominally for his outstanding contribution to the covert operation in Pakistan on May 1, 2011, was in fact related to another incident that occurred a month later. That is, he killed a terrorist who tried to assassinate the president of the United States in Philadelphia, and then relied on his own efforts to find out who was behind the attack and crush the nuclear attack on the United States mainland.

Three years later, information about the incident was declassified, and the President of the United States personally awarded Aldrich the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Since then, MGM has invested $300 million in a war on terror film based on the incident, starring Hollywood superstar Pitt as Aldrich. After the movie was released, it earned $800 million at the box office within a month, and Pitt won the Oscar for Best Actor.

In Zhang Xiaogang's words, Aldrich is an "American-style hero" in reality.

Other special forces, it won't be far behind.

Because the ten special forces are all from the highest-level special forces of various countries, and their personal information is highly confidential, the information provided by Zhang Xiaogang is very limited.

Chu Tianjiang is no exception.

In the personal file submitted to the Doomsday Force, it is only mentioned that Chu Tianjiang is from the special forces directly under the Chinese General Staff, as well as his gender, age, and rank. As for the tasks previously performed, family background, social relations, etc., all omitted on the grounds of secrecy.

The Doomsday Force training camp is located north of the U.S. military base, on the northwest corner of Diego Garcia Island.

Diego Garcia is an atoll made up of numerous coral reefs with a land area of about 27 square kilometers; In the center is a lagoon 24 kilometers long, 6.4 kilometers wide, 10 to 20 meters deep, open to the north; It is surrounded by a V-shaped sand reef with a length of 24 kilometers from north to south and a maximum width of 11 kilometers from east to west. The main body of the U.S. military base is located on the west side of the island and has a high-quality runway with a length of nearly 4,000 meters, which can accommodate all aircraft, including the space shuttle. In addition, there are one U.S. military camp to the south and one to the southeast of the island.

After the Planetary Defense Council listed Diego Garcia as a major military base for nearly 5,000 inhabitants on the island, the U.S. military bought the real estate of the aborigines in batches, moved the natives to other islands in the Chagos archipelago, and even issued green cards to some of the natives.

In two years, Diego Garcia has undergone a sea change, becoming one of the five bastions of resistance to the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations.

The Doomsday Force occupies the northwest corner of the island, with an area of more than five square kilometers, more than a dozen training grounds, and a large number of training facilities built by the US military.

Chu Tianjiang was not the first special forces to arrive, nor was he the last.

"Major Chu Tianjiang?" It was Petronovich who offered to come and greet him.

"Major Petronovich!" Although Zhang Xiaogang warned Chu Tianjiang not to trust other special forces, Chu Tianjiang felt that Petronovich was the only one he could trust, even if only a limited trust, because the other eight special forces were all from the Western bloc led by the United States.

"Nice to meet you."

"Me too. I am very sorry about the matter of Major Levyshenko. Zhang Xiaogang mentioned that Petronovich and Lezhshenko are partners.

Both speak English, but both are terrible.

"Levy died a terrible death, and I will make the man who killed him pay." Levy is Levyshenko's nickname.

"Major, we have to look ahead. I believe that Levzyshenko's greatest wish is that you can complete his mission and defeat the invading extraterrestrial civilization. ”

Petronovic smiled reluctantly, and he kept staring at Aldrich not far away.

With the arrival of the last special forces, the commander of the Doomsday Force, Major General Howard from the U.S. Special Forces Command, appeared.

Compared to the ten special forces, Howard can be regarded as a real person.

The 46-year-old Howard served in the U.S. Navy SEALs for 21 years, flew hundreds of secret missions, and spent six and five years as commander of the sixth detachment and commando commander. Five years ago, after planning and directing the killing of a terrorist mogul, Howard retired from the Navy SEALs and was promoted to major general and transferred to the U.S. Special Forces Command.

If Howard had been ten years younger, there would have been no place for Aldrich in the Doomsday Army.

Howard gave Chu Tianjiang a very deep first impression, he was an out-and-out professional soldier, with a meticulous style of acting and being very strict with his subordinates.

Ten special forces stood in line according to their country's platoon on the Planetary Defense Council.

At the top of the team is Aldrich, with Petanovic on the right, Alfred on the left, then Vincent, Schultz, Kojiro Nakamura, Halevy, Sullivan and McDonald. Because they are not lined up in high or short lines, the ranks look uneven.

A U.S. soldier ran over and delivered an automatic speech interpreter to each of the special forces.

There are seven language selection buttons on the translator, representing English, Russian, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Hebrew. The translation effect is ideal because of the preset phonetic database including various dialects, and the translation program for commonly spoken languages in each language.

During the debugging, Chu Tianjiang said a sentence of "national scolding", chose English output, and translated it very well.

The translator is connected to a single soldier's voice communication device and does not use a separate output device. If used alone, wireless earbuds are required.

"I'm Major General Howard, Commander of Doomsday Force." Howard also wore a translator. "Now roll call, Aldrich."

"Here, sir!"

"Petronovich."

"Here." The Russian special forces did not add honorific titles.

"Chu Tianjiang."

"Here." Chu Tianjiang also did not add an honorific title.

"Alfred."

"Here, sir!"

……

Next, several special forces added honorific titles when they answered.

"From now on, I will be your commander." Howard's gaze swept over the ten special forces, lingering on Petronovic and Chu Tianjiang for a few more moments. "No matter what country you come from, no matter what you have done before, no matter how many medals of honor you have received, no matter how high your rank is, from now on, you are just ordinary soldiers under me, understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Fuck, don't you all have eggs? Be louder. ”

"Yes, sir—"

Chu Tianjiang didn't dare to be ambiguous, and yelled. Howard's aura is too strong, and that domineering momentum is enough to deter.

"Good, looks like you're all fucking dudes."

The translator is just a machine, and the paraphrasing function needs to be improved.

"In the next five days, I will test your abilities. Although you are ten out of eight billion people, perhaps the best ten, don't be overconfident. I assure you that some of you will beg me for mercy and my approval to leave the Doomsday Force before the end of the test. ”

Petronovic cursed in a low voice, but Chu Tianjiang didn't hear it clearly, and the translator didn't respond.

"Petronovich, do you have any questions?"

"Nope."

Howard walked up to Petronovich. "You're going to call me sir."

"Yes!"

"It seems that you have forgotten your new identity. You are not a major of the Russian army, just a small soldier of the Doomsday Army, get down on your stomach and do push-ups. ”

Petronovich didn't move, staring at Howard without letting go.

"If you're not convinced, get out of here now, the Doomsday Force doesn't need bastards like you."

The atmosphere is tense, and Howard has the right to fire any special forces if there is a good reason, and a confrontation with his boss is a good reason.

Petronovic wouldn't be stupid enough to compete with Howard! Chu Tianjiang was a little worried.

Zhang Xiaogang mentioned that if there is a vacancy in the Doomsday Force, it will be filled by US special forces, and Howard will definitely be happy to let Petronovich get out.

After Petronovic got out, Chu Tianjiang was really alone.

Fortunately, Petrovich is not stupid.

After a moment of stalemate, he fell to his stomach and began to do push-ups.

Howard was satisfied and walked towards the end of the line. "At the end of the five-day assessment, I will decide your position in the Doomsday Force based on your performance, including your temporary rank, specific responsibilities and partnerships, and then full training. If you don't have confidence in yourself, or don't think you're qualified to be a member of the Doomsday Force, you can always submit an opt-out application, and I'll be happy to send you out. ”

Fuck it! Chu Tianjiang cursed in his heart.

"The assessment starts from now on, and today it is mainly based on physical fitness. All dressed up and assembled in five minutes. ”

The packing was already ready and placed on the truck next to it. Each special forces soldier was dressed in the same attire, an M4 carbine, an M9 pistol, an AT-4 bazooka, eight rifle magazines, three pistol magazines, a box of 200 loose rifle cartridges, five offensive grenades, a multi-purpose dagger, a single voice communication radio, a first-aid kit, a set of rigging, a composite helmet, a set of low-light night vision devices, a digital telescope, three bags of rations, a hump naan and a camping quilt cover, with a total weight of about 45 kilograms.

"Peterovich, there's no need to fight Howard." When changing clothes, Chu Tianjiang deliberately approached the Russian special forces.

"Call me Peter." The Russian special forces nodded at Chu Tianjiang and said, "That bastard, he will definitely find a way to get the two of us out." ”

"Then you shouldn't go against him."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely stick to the last."

Chu Tianjiang smiled, with Howard's style, there must be countless difficulties and obstacles in the future, and it is not easy to persevere to the end.

It's just that there is no choice but to persevere.

Five minutes later, the team reassembled.

"The assessment method is very simple, march around the atoll, reach the northern end of the lagoon estuary and return the same way, the first to arrive gets 100 points, the second place gets 90 points, and then decreases, and the last to arrive is only 10 points." A Humvee military vehicle drove up and pulled up next to Howard. "Although you come from different countries, have different beliefs, and may have fought on the battlefield before, you are now part of the same team, and the foundation of a strong team is assistance and cooperation. You can help each other and encourage each other. It's up to you to get the best results for yourself or to help your teammates in the team. I want to emphasize that the results are individual, and the overall score determines your status in the Doomsday Force, and you must make a choice when your partner needs help. ”

Damn it! Chu Tianjiang began to curse Howard. This clearly shows that they are bullying the Chinese and Russian special forces.

Howard glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "If you are not convinced, or if you think it's unfair, you can quit now, I won't keep it." ”

Chu Tianjiang was not so stupid, and he didn't think about quitting.

"At the end of the assessment, I will check everyone's equipment, and whoever dares to discard weapons and equipment, even if it is a bullet, will be directly out." Howard jumped into the Humvee military vehicle. "All you can use is the water in the naan, and everything else has to be brought back intact. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Let's go!"

Howard led three Humvee military vehicles to clear the road in front, followed by ten military vehicles driven by guards from various countries to ensure safety.
