Chapter 15: Return to Tskhinvali

Eric watched the man disappear from view, turned around and quickly put the notebook away and put it in his bag. But just then, Steve came running quickly with a satellite phone.

"Mr. Eric. Calls from Mtskhta. ”

Hearing the call from Mtskheta made it seem like Eric realized something. He quickly came to the door with his bag and took the phone and said, "I'm Eric, what's going on?" ”

The other party didn't seem to bring good news, and Pete noticed that Eric was visibly nervous after talking for a while on the phone.

"Okay. I know. Can you contact Chris Potter there? If you can contact him immediately to tell him the news, and also to tell the Georgians, whether they know it themselves or not. Okay, I got it. After finishing the communication, he quickly handed the phone to Steve and said, "Go out of town, I need to talk to the brigade master again." ”

"What happened?" Steve took the phone and asked.

Eric walked as he carried his notebook and said, "The latest news." The fifty-eighth army of the Russians went into action. The Russian president has already spoken about this as an ethnic cleansing and has shown that he is going to intervene. ”

Everyone quickly boarded the minibus again, and as soon as they got on the minibus, they didn't go far when another call came in from Eric's satellite phone.

"This is Eric. Potter, how's it going? And the Georgians said? They know? All right... Now that you know, why is Tskhinvali still fighting? Taken? God, am I not in the same world as those Georgians? Do you want me to listen to the gunshots around you? They don't control it at all, and there are still people resisting, and there are quite a few people resisting. Presidential palace? Why always keep an eye out there? Not only have they not been able to fully control this place now, but as far as I know, some of the towns north of the outer city have not been completely taken, which should have been taken and used as a barrier to Tskhinvali. So please do your best to convince them to hurry, even if they catch the president of South Ossetia? Is it him who they want? They want South Ossetia, but if they can't stop the Russians, then it's all useless! Eric's emotions were a little agitated, and after calming down his emotions, he said: "I will talk to the commander of the 1st Brigade immediately, and I hope that he can immediately mobilize more forces to eliminate Tskhinvali." So be it. ”

"Looks like it's getting worse?" Donovan spoke when he saw Eric drop the phone.

Eric touched his head and said with a headache: "It's not bad at the moment, but the bad situation is predictable." In such a situation, the Georgians here will not be able to stop the Russians at all, they will be swallowed in one gulp, and there will be no bones left. As he spoke, he looked at Donovan and said, "The Georgians should have spent more money and hired more of you, then the situation might be much better at the moment." ”

Donovan sneered and said, "Do you know where the biggest difference between mercenaries and government forces is? ”

"Where?" Eric asked.

"The biggest difference is that the security company behind the mercenaries will never have such a fool who would recruit people to do such a high-risk thing." Donovan said and looked at Eric and said, "So you still don't mess around, what you should be thinking about now is what to bring with you when you evacuate." We're happy to help with that, because that's what we're doing. ”

Eric could hear the sarcasm in Donovan's words, but he didn't seem angry, just chuckled and didn't speak again.

About twenty minutes later, the minibus re-drove out of the city of Tskhinvali and came to the headquarters of the 1st Georgian Brigade on the outskirts of the city. At this moment, it has become more busy than before, not only the people in the command are busy, but also the wounded who have come down from the front are also nearby for emergency treatment and evacuation.

After the minibus stopped, Eric rushed out of the car with his bag in his hand, rushed directly to the command car with Steve, and re-entered the command car under the leadership of the guards at the door.

Pete turned his head to look around, at the moment it was not only busy transporting the wounded, but also a lot of supplies were also busy carrying it to the car, and it looked like it was going to be transferred.

"Is this going to be transferred?" Pete said to Donovan as he watched.

"You shouldn't be wrong. The Russians are definitely coming. Donovan said as he looked up and pointed to the sky, "The first wave is definitely an air raid." There is no shelter here, and if there is an air raid, it will definitely be used as a target, and it is estimated that it will be transferred directly into the city. Donovan gestured to the vehicle heading north, "They should be like Eric said that the Georgians are going to have a decisive battle with the Russians in Tskhinvali." ”

Evans, who was on the side, heard Donovan's words and smiled: "Decisive battle? I don't see how many people there are in Georgia. They still want a decisive battle with the Russians? ”

"No matter how many of them there are, I think we should probably get out of here as soon as possible." As Pete spoke, Eric and Steve stepped out of the command car one after the other, and from Eric's face, it was clear that he had not served his purpose.

"Mr. Eric. Where are we going next? Donovan asked.

"Back to Tskhinvali." Eric said as he walked to the minibus.

Donovan immediately frowned when he heard Tskhinvali, and he quickly caught up with Eric and said, "Go back again?" Don't you see that now the Georgians here are being transferred? ”

Eric stopped by the minibus door and said, "I saw it." The Russians are coming. Now it's no secret. So it's normal for them to transfer. ”

"Then why did you go to Tskhinvali?" Donovan was puzzled, "We just came out of there. ”

Eric obviously didn't want to go back either, he took a deep breath and looked at Donovan as if he was holding back his anger and said, "I'm going to have to find the damn commander of the 1st Brigade." They weren't here, just before we came, they went to the presidential palace in Tskhinvali to supervise the war, because these people wanted to take the presidential palace as soon as possible. So I had to go to him and tell him that the most important thing now is not the presidential palace, but the whole of Tskhinvali, including all the important towns around the city, and that's it. Can we go now? After saying that, he was ready to turn around and get into the car.

Donovan stepped forward and grabbed Eric's arm and said, "Mr. Eric, please understand one thing. I'm here to keep you safe. My mission is clear, and that is to ensure that you and those around you are evacuated if the Russians threaten your life. Do you understand what I mean? Defending is not just about pulling you away when someone shoots you and then killing the person who shoots you, it's more about taking you away before danger strikes. ”
