"Herein lies the problem. With his character, this is bound to bring a lot of adverse effects to the team. The impact can be big or small, and it will be quite troublesome anyway. In fact, this is also a disadvantage of him compared to you. Compared to him, you have to be much calmer, think about problems more thoroughly, and have more experience in leading teams to carry out tasks. Donovan said.

"So what should I do? What should I do if he doesn't accept me? I don't have that experience yet. Pete said.

Donovan sighed and said, "There's no need to rush this. I'm supposed to have to work with the Maneater Squad for a while now. If the transfer is confirmed, I will take care of it for you. ”

Pete nodded, looking a little hesitant and said, "Do you think I can do it?" ”

"What? Don't tell me you're not confident yourself? Donovan asked.

"This... I don't know where I'm going to go in the future. It's hard for me to think of how to bring people together. ”

"Didn't you do well in the past?" Donovan asked, "Didn't you realize the problem at the time?" ”

"It's different." Pete shook his head and said, "When I was in the army, I still followed the big army. At most, I can take care of the few people around me. It's very simple, and it will also feel dependent psychologically. But now such a squad is completely different, and it looks like the same people as the same squad in the Marine Corps, sometimes less, but with a lot more responsibilities. Such a team has more problems to think about, and more things have to be decided and coordinated by themselves. I didn't have much experience with that. ”

"It's a bit complicated at this point. But it's nothing. Donovan didn't seem to care, "And if you can think of that, it means you're ready." In fact, you don't have to worry, you won't be assigned a very complicated task to a squad with major personnel changes at the beginning. ”

Pete nodded, he fully believed in this, after all, when the day came, Donovan would be in management, so they would have a certain amount of control after that, and it would not be a problem to arrange some light things or give them more time.

So Pete ended the topic and said, "So is the specific time set?" ”

"What, are you in a hurry?" Donovan joked.

Pete smiled similarly, "I just want to know how much more lightheartedness I have left, as the most ordinary creep." ”

"The exact details have not yet been decided. There will definitely be a while. After all, they are all busy right now, and there are still many places that need manpower. So you won't start right away, but you have to be mentally prepared. Donovan said.

Pete replied, "Where were you before?" Have you been training? ”

"Yes, training. A group of people who have just come out of the hospital and three newcomers must have a process of getting to know each other. But I know a little bit about where I'm going to go after that. If it weren't for the current incident, most of our team would have been sent to the Middle East, not far from here. Donovan said.

"Is this going to war with those madmen again?" Pete said.

Donovan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know." Exactly what is done is kept secret. You'll have to wait until you get there, but it seems to be the case for the most part. ”

"It's actually good that I didn't go there. Otherwise, Christmas would have to be spent there. Pete said.

"yes." Donovan nodded, "The year has passed again. There's a question I've always wanted to ask you. ”

"What's the problem?"

"I've asked everyone else this question. How long are you going to do it? Donovan didn't wait for Pete to answer before adding: "Everyone's answer is different, for example, Morris, he is making money for himself, he likes this way, he lives a simple and rough life, he works according to orders, and he is also his brother by his side." He likes it. And Evans, you know, he's just working for money, he needs money. Although these two people are somewhat similar, they are very different. And Ellie is more like challenging herself, she says that she may be the best at it, and the place where she is better than other women is here. Chili wants to make enough money and leaves. What about you? ”

Pete pouted and said, "I don't know." Before I joined the army, I had a lot of ideas and wanted to do a lot of things. But since joining the Marine Corps and being posted overseas, such thoughts have become less and less. It wasn't until later, when I left, that I really wouldn't have done anything if you hadn't contacted me. ”

"So what do you plan to do for the long term?" Donovan asked.

Pete didn't answer immediately, but after thinking about it, he said, "So far, it seems so. You know I'm alone and don't have many friends here. Many of my classmates also went home, otherwise they were on the West Coast. After the comrades-in-arms retired, they all went home and had no contact, except for you, and I met Jeff, and I haven't seen anyone else. And now my circle of friends is these people in the squad. The most important thing is that I have become accustomed to this kind of army-like life. So, recently, at least for the last two or three years, I probably won't leave. Unless something major changes in my life have happened, it's hard for me to think of a reason not to continue. ”

"Good!" Donovan was glad to hear Pete say this, but then he felt that it was a bit bad to say this, so he explained, "I mean, it's good that you can keep going." This will be very beneficial for you to become the leader of the Maneating Shark Squad. No one wants to promote someone who won't be there long before they're ready to leave. ”

"What about you?" Pete asked, "Ready to be in Hermet all the time?" ”

"Of course." Donovan seemed to be very determined: "Life is very suitable for me now. It's a bit irresponsible for my family, but soon I'll be no longer in charge. That's both a good thing and a bad thing for me. On the good side, I can continue to do what I am passionate about and what I am good at. The bad side was that I couldn't fight with my teammates anymore. While this is dangerous, the process market is not so pleasant and can even make people feel hopeless. But every time I get out of danger, I often miss the feeling of being on the verge of life and death, just like drinking and smoking. ”

Pete looked at Donovan and said, "I haven't experienced this feeling of yours." But I think it's good. At least better than the nightmares I have now. ”。

"These are two different things. Two completely different things. Donovan smiled, looked around, and said, "Speaking of Christmas, how are you going to spend it?" ”

"I don't plan to..."
