Chapter 138: The Lifestyle of Rats......

After taking the oath, the oath supervisor on the stage stepped forward with a smile and tossed aside the tassel of Dr. An Feng's hat to announce the end of the ceremony. An Feng, who stepped down, was a freshly baked doctor (doctor). This is An Feng's first doctoral diploma, and he firmly believes that he will soon have a second. Because of the medical disciplines, the credits of the basic courses are the same, and he has now completed the basic courses, and the remaining credits of the professional courses do not take much effort in each course.

I remember when I entered the school, Dr. Tom told his students: Now that we have entered the era of knowledge explosion, it is impossible for a person to master all the knowledge of a certain profession one by one, and today's knowledge structure is too huge, so in the new era, learning no longer pursues majors, and no longer requires students to know everything, but chooses the skills that need to be mastered according to their own needs As for other professional knowledge beyond the demand, it may only take a few minutes in a lifetime, and now, the acquisition of knowledge is within reach, Google Baidu, and dabble in it. Just know it.

Based on his own condition, An Feng hopes to be a neurologist, and in addition, he can know a little bit of medical knowledge and some basic surgical knowledge. At most, a little more dabbling in genetics is enough. This means that he only needs to get another surgeon diploma for the rest of his studies, and he can end his education career perfectly.

On the stage of the ceremony, the last graduate was taking the oath. But the people in the audience couldn't sit still, and the congratulatory calls came in frequently, waiting for the ceremony to end, and most of them took out the phone as soon as possible to respond to the congratulations of relatives and friends

Professor Tom was the first to congratulate An Feng, and only a few of his students had double diplomas, and most of them had at least three diplomas...... Of course, there are also people whose diplomas are purely to make up the numbers, such as taking a diploma in linguistics, aesthetics, or sociology. A similar diploma requires little to no IQ and no experience, but holding such a diploma can increase hobbies, add a little interest in life by the way, and hunt opportunities and so on.

"You are excellent, and although many of my students are excellent, I have high expectations of you", Dr. Tom said earnestly, "I always thought that you would go far down this road......"

An Feng smiled and diverted the topic: "No, doctor, I am a person who pursues pleasure, scientific research is not my hobby, and my diploma is just my stepping stone, so I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, doctor—I can't continue to follow you." ”

The doctor sighed deeply: "Oh, well, I respect your choice, in fact, I originally wanted to say that after you hold this diploma, you can return to the research institute and work with me to do research, and your subject, the subject of the experimental subjects around you, will be the dawn and future ...... of the human world."

An Feng shook his head: "I don't like the lifestyle of rats, I hide in the dark underground all my life, I don't see my family or friends all year round, I can't tell my family what work I do, I can't share it with my family, and I always have to pay attention not to leak my mouth...... This life is not for me. ”

"Well, maybe you need stimulation and I need experimental data. I happen to have a very exciting job at hand -- you know, the war is over, the military needs a lot of people to go to Iraq, a lot of security companies have contracts with the Ministry of Defense, I happen to have a contract to send a team to Iraq. I think you're a good fit. Aside from your other status, let's just say that you are now: a neurologist, a diploma in medical assistantship, a person who knows how to respond to battlefield first aid, who can handle simple surgical procedures, and who is a peripheral member of the intelligence agencies -- such a person is exactly what the military needs.

If you want, then join this group. I think you've got this job, and your resume will be beautiful too. You must know that on the battlefield, every internship hour is doubled, and you can quickly get enough internship hours, and this solid resume will allow you to win better positions and get the rest of your diploma more smoothly. ”

"Can I refuse?" An Feng was reserved for a moment.

"I'm afraid not."

An Feng deliberately took a few seconds to think about it and asked, "So, am I still a registered member of the research institute?" ”

"There's no doubt about that - you're one of my best students, and one of my best subjects, and as long as you keep writing reports and giving weekly feedback to the Institute, you'll be a registered member of the Institute, even if you die.

Well, with that said, I'd like to mention the situation of the other subject: as far as we have observed, the subject's memories seem to have been a bit derailed lately, and some non-existent memories have appeared in her mind, some of which are purely imaginary and of her own creation, and we think that the subject needs a recuperation, perhaps overstrained, or perhaps ...... Anyway, what do you do about it? ”

"It's very simple, take her to Iraq, in the tense battlefield, it's easy to find an opportunity to get hurt...

Then we can take the opportunity to conduct a full examination of her.

Dr. Tom's voice was raised: "Good idea, so you accepted the contract?" ”

An Feng replied helplessly: "Since I can't refuse, then I have to listen to you." ”

After the phone hung up, Wu Xiyue's congratulatory call came in. Next, it may be that Wu Xiyue in order to make up for the guilt, by the way, thanked An Feng for taking care of Zhang Shuting's kindness, she used her former identity as a convener to notify her former classmate Sun Jingya in the United States, and other familiar exchange students, An Feng's phone rang non-stop, and was repeatedly pulled out of the photo.

Su Jingya is no longer the timid and shy girl she used to be, her voice on the phone was very hearty, and she said loudly: "Hey, I just heard from Wu Xiyue that you are here, it's a pity, I can't even rush over to congratulate you on your graduation at this time." Haha, you know, the final exam is here, and I'm busy stumbling right now. Gotta know your news, find a time to get together. ”

The last one to come to congratulate was Dier, and after the two chatted for a few words, An Feng asked, "I heard that the Ministry of Defense is hiring a large number of mercenaries?" ”

Dill snorted, a little sullen when talking about the topic: "Yes, the biggest contract was taken by a company called 'Blackwater', and it is said that they will organize a regiment and four companies of troops to go to Iraq to keep the peace." We are just a small security company, usually serving as personal bodyguards for celebrities and models, with 100 employees, which is only enough for one company.

Even if we empty our family of people, a company of mercenary contracts, the Ministry of Defense will not look down on it. And if you subcontract from other companies, there is not much profit left...... Alas, I can only stupidly watch others make a lot of money. ”

After a pause, Dill continued: "I heard that Congress intends to withdraw the First Cavalry Division from Iraq next month, and after that, only a small number of troops of the National Guard will be left in the whole of Iraq to do maneuvering, and the security forces throughout Iraq will be undertaken by mercenaries. I estimated that they would need at least 200,000 mercenaries, which is a huge contract. ”

Two hundred thousand mercenaries, Dill counted that number as less.

Years later, when the "U.S. military" completely withdrew from Iraq, they abandoned more than 50,000 "mine-resistant Humvee armored vehicles" in Baghdad, and more than 70,000 other heavy infantry vehicles. Out of the total of 120,000 vehicles, it is estimated that the vehicles discarded in Iraq alone can carry between 400,000 and 600,000 soldiers, based on an average U to U per vehicle. In domestic propaganda reports, they are commonly referred to as "US military", but in fact, everyone on earth knows that they are mercenaries of security companies.

This is definitely a big contract, and this peacekeeping cost is paid by the new Iraqi government from petrodollars, and the Americans have no intention of saving money for the Iraqis, so ...... Mercenaries are paid a starting salary of $700 per day.

Three months on duty in Iraq, the honorarium is almost enough to buy a small business jet.

Of course, a mercenary's salary has always been the most insignificant part of the remuneration. In that Arab power, which is full of gold and oil, and with the fine tradition of the US military that "the spoils of war go to themselves," after returning home from the battlefield in Iraq, if they can't bring out a few Arabic gold objects and Arabic antiques, they will simply be embarrassed to greet their neighbors.

Deere repeatedly regretted that the contract of the century could not be obtained. When the Ministry of Defense signs the contract, it requires the company's past performance to be evaluated. It is required that you already have enough mercenaries under your command before signing the contract, and these mercenaries have battlefield service experience, and you can't improvise people to fool them. Therefore, it is too late to temporarily expand the team.

After complaining, Dill came back to his senses, and he knew that Anfeng Tete must have a purpose when he called. Hurriedly asked: "Oh, by the way, you made this call today, did you get a contract to go to Iraq?"

An Feng didn't say anything, which meant acquiescence, and also meant that something needed to be kept secret and couldn't be explained. Dill immediately said: "I will send two good men who are proficient in business to you, ha, the few days after the truce are the most chaotic time, there are always many people who want to go to the battlefield to make money, and these people also need close protection." If you're going, these two people follow you and happen to be in Iraq to peddle our security services on the spot. ”

"I've heard that everyone who goes will have to undergo some military training, and I can't tell you the exact date of departure

"No problem, I'll increase it right away, your Sakura Villa's security forces...... You know. ”

However, An Feng thought that Diel's idea was doomed to fail. As a person who has come from the past, An Feng knows that those people are the most active in Iraq after the war. Among the businessmen in the world, if there is one who is the most afraid of death and the best at enduring hardship, it has to be a Chinese businessman. Before the war, the domestic media often propagated that the US military was doing something against Iraq for the sake of oil interests. But in fact, the domestic media have always been panting, and the real situation is that the US military is doing it against Iraq for the sake of "China's oil" interests.

Because after the war, Iraq's oil contracts were all obtained by the Chinese.

Nowadays, the bold Chinese are flying all over Iraq, they do not want European and American businessmen to live in a safe "green zone", they are the same skin color as Iraqis, they wear local clothes, blend in with Iraqis, and they are not afraid to die to sell domestic obsolete black and white television sets all over Iraq, by the way, they signed all oil contracts, did not leave a little soup for the Americans, and afterwards they were not grateful to the American soldiers.

The two chatted for a while, and Dill seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "I remember that you took a job as a fox hunter from me, and the target was Rosario, oh, I am unfortunate to inform you: this contract has been cancelled." ”

An Feng pretended to be surprised and asked, "I just found a little clue, and I am currently tracking it further." I spent a lot of money ......"

"Alas, it's a pity that you're a little slower."

"Could it be...... Someone is faster than me? ”

Dill nodded heavily on the other end of the phone: "That's right, it's a fox hunting group, but it's ......"

An Feng hurriedly interjected: "Group? So they have a lot of them? But the bounty for this job is not very rich. Five people share that pitiful bounty, maybe the money in hand is not enough to spend on the action. ”

Dill sighed and said, "So, their target is not Rosario himself at all, but the stolen money that Rosario has in hand." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, I inquired, Rosario's last contact was a nightclub dancer, this dancer is now under the protection of the police, she was found by the police yesterday, but she didn't say anything, the police can't prosecute her. However, the police have found out: three days ago, between Sunday night and Monday morning, someone broke into her house, and neighbors reported three or four intruders.

After the incident, the police found some blood stains on the floor and collected blood samples from three people. The police speculated that there should have been two waves of intruders that night, perhaps three. The dancer must have been forced to confess, but it is unknown why the dancer escaped. When the police arrived, all the intruders were missing along with the dancers.

There is also an important clue: the nightclub where the dancer is located, and a bartender absconds that night. Later, the police identified the three followers based on blood samples, and they found that the missing bartender had gone to Rome, and that the three intruders were in the same place, and that they had gone to Paris together and had finally disappeared together in Paris.

The police therefore deduced that the missing bartender in the bar was most likely Rosario himself, and that his fingerprints, which he left in the nightclub, were exactly the same as those of Rosario.

So, the mission is canceled, and Rosario's boss believes that Rosario has been caught by someone else. His captors are wandering around Europe with him, looking for an opportunity to withdraw money. Rosario's boss then canceled the tracking contract and reissued a kill warrant to kill the three fox hunters and Rosario, as well as Rosario's mistress and his children.

Oh, are you interested in this contract, it is said that the contract bounty has more than doubled this time, and it is a full four million dollars. ”

An Feng shook his head at the phone. At this time, someone on the lawn called him over to take pictures, An Feng smiled and gestured, signaling that he would talk on the phone for a while. This situation can also be understood, graduates graduated, congratulatory messages are flying all over the sky, some people are unable to be there in person, always have to make a phone call to say hello.

"Killing children, it's dirty. In addition, they have at least three fox hunters, and they are very skilled in tracking and counter-tracking, and ordinary people can't catch their tracks. Well, the bounty of four million sounds tempting, but now they are wandering around Europe, four million, not enough for travel expenses, and I am not interested in this contract. ”

Dill smiled and replied, "It's not just that you're not interested. Four million is tempting, but most people give up when they learn the truth. So this hunt warrant is no longer valid, and this matter is over. It's a pity that you spent money and didn't make any money, so next time you focus on it, don't be so half-hearted. ”

An Feng sincerely accepted Diere's criticism, then hung up the phone, and the lawn began to take various photos...... This kind of thing can't be shirked, although An Feng doesn't like to leave photos, but the convention is like this, so he not only posed with his adoptive father and adoptive mother, Dr. Zhou, and his younger sister Zhang Shuting, took various graduation photos, and even asked the younger brothers and sisters on campus to take pictures, but he couldn't refuse.

An hour later, Bartlet's father was ready to say goodbye, An Feng thought that he had not seen his adoptive father and adoptive mother for many years, and this reunion would seem warm, but after such a long time, the two sides seemed to be ...... when they met again Courteous, subtle and polite.

Perhaps, the attitude of Batlet's father and Vera's mother is the attitude that most Westerners are accustomed to at this time. After this ceremony, they treat the child as an adult, and their own parenting responsibilities have been fulfilled, and the child is another "independent individual" from now on, and the relationship with each other is intimate but marginal.

Foreigners do not pay attention to "filial piety", they think that raising children is their due responsibility, it is the instinct of animals. When the child grows up, he does not belong to his parents, he does not owe anything to his parents, so his parents have no right to dominate him, they have no right to demand from him......

Papa Bartley was a quintessentially British man who liked to be conformist. He is very satisfied with the business performance of his company. Staying here at An Feng, I always think about the three children at home. The graduation ceremony seemed to be their last parental duty, and two hours later their plane was about to take off, so they didn't even attend the dinner and flew back to London overnight.

Dr. Chow, who was also on the flight that night, said goodbye after dinner. Zhang Shuting met a peer at the dinner, and after the dinner, she went to Broadway to watch the show with this person. So, An Feng, who returned to the Sakura Villa from the dinner, wandered alone in the courtyard for a while, and he quietly entered the basement

In fact, at this time, most of the graduates were partying all night, and it was not that no one invited An Feng to the party. But he ...... Enter the hidden operating room alone, open the hidden personal computer in the operating room, and check Rosario's whereabouts.

In fact, on Tuesday morning, the share promised by Rosario had already entered An Feng's account. And the "nanorobotic bug" that An Feng injected into Rosario is not a bomb, but a slow-release nutrient. However, Rosario did not challenge An Feng, he honestly fulfilled his promise, and then used the new identity provided by An Feng to re-infiltrate the United States, seemingly intending to settle in Hawaii.

At present, Rosario's "Black Cauldron Plan" has been realized, and when the three intruders quietly go home that night to lick their wounds, they suddenly get new news from Rosario, and they follow Rosario to Rome, where they meet the Sicilian mafia waiting for them, and the three intruders disappear from this world. And the news that they chased to Paris was a disguise made up by the mafia......

After checking Rosario's movements, An Feng sat there and thought about it, he vaguely felt that this person did not seem to disappear from his life, and maybe the two would intersect in the future. Based on this idea, An Feng did not tick the other party's name and surname from the monitoring list. Let's keep an eye on it.

The first name on the watch list is Odney. At this time, he was active in Las Vegas, and An Feng grabbed the phone and asked about the other party.

"Where are you ......?" as soon as he asked, Odeney immediately responded: "Here I am, the action has begun." ”
