Hehe. John smiled and didn't answer the question, but said, "Now we like to know if you're willing to take the job." And I need to tell you in advance that if you join, then maybe you will have to deal with the Chinese. Is that acceptable? ”

Hearing this, Pete was stunned. He didn't expect John to talk to him about this straight to the point, originally in his opinion, this should be a problem that he will face after entering the department... But then Pete felt another burst of excitement in his heart, because it made him feel that this so-called department was probably specially set up to deal with Chinese lurking in this country like himself.

Is it still useful to ask whether this is accepted or not? Isn't it just to get into such a department all these years? But Pete, of course, couldn't show eagerness, only to see him say: "It makes me feel like I'm back to before." I remember having a similar inquiry before enlisting in the army, saying that after enlistment, I might be stationed in the Asia-Pacific region, and it was possible that I would have a conflict in my former homeland, and I could only enlist if it was acceptable. ”

John smiled and said, "It's about the same." I guess that's fine. You're an American now, you're just from China. Just like me, my great-grandfather, including my mother, were Irish who had left their homeland. To this day, you still have some Irish customs in my family. Some of my relatives even still speak English with an Irish accent. What does this mean for me? Nothing. If one day, the United States and Ireland clash, I would not hesitate to pick up a gun and fight the Irish. Of course, there may be people who will side with the Irish, and that's fine, but I will definitely choose to fight as an American. Do you understand what I mean? ”

"Understood." Pete nodded and said, "Although I don't have as clear a choice as you, I understand the reason." ”

"It's good to understand." John nodded and said: "The United States is just a country of immigrants, you also saw what it looks like outside just now, everyone comes from different parts of the world, and it is precisely because we and people like them form a country, and it is the most powerful country in the world." You have come here to be one of them, and you have the responsibility and obligation to defend him, and to defend her is to defend yourself. Hope you understand. ”

Pete nodded and said, "I understand. Although my motivation for joining the military in the first place was not to become an American. But I understand it. But... Pete hesitated and said, "But can I think about it?" Because I may not be the right person for this job. You're going to have me fight people with guns, that's fine. But catch those hidden spies in the city? I probably won't be able to. ”

Hearing Pete say this, John was not surprised, but he nodded and said, "Of course." That's fine. But not too long, how long do you need to think about it? ”

Pete thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow... Tomorrow afternoon, around this time, is it okay? Whether I do it or not, I'll get back to you. ”

"No problem." John readily agreed, "But I still want to give you some advice, it is not a good choice to return or stay in the squad." Now that your old department is massively expanding, if you choose to go back, you'll probably lead a bunch of new people. And there will be more overseas assignments in the future, and in my experience, Helmet is about to face a big challenge. John shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, "You should understand that there are too many recruits in a team at once, everyone doesn't know each other, they just met in the training camp, and then they go to an even stranger place under the leadership of an even stranger captain, face a group of experienced militants, and start fighting?" What happens in such a situation? ”

"Casualties... Pete glanced at John and said, "Huge casualties." ”

"That's it." "And that's just what we could expect," John said. Some other situations due to inexperience are sure to leave us with a lot of headaches. Saying that, John sighed and continued: "So if you are transferred not far away, I can only send you to lead a team, but it will definitely not be the current team, most of the people in the 009 team will also be scattered, and the people who stay are experienced, I can't let a group of experienced people gather together, and the other teams are children who don't know anything." That's not going to work. If so, would you like to? I mean, go into battle with a bunch of newbies. ”

Pete hesitated and said, "I didn't think about this either. But I really don't want to fight with a bunch of unfamiliar people. ”

"Nobody wants to. Unless that one is also a newbie. John stood up as he spoke, "Think about it." ”

Pete knew that today's conversation was over, and he then stood up and followed John to the door, "Give me your answer by this time tomorrow." I would also like to say that it is important to seize the opportunity. It's not just me telling you, Donovan telling you to try not to go back to the squad. ”

Pete left John's office, and Wells Lee, with whom he had spoken a few words, seemed to be very good at socializing, and was now chatting with another person. Pete didn't bother them, but went straight to the elevator and went downstairs. John didn't immediately call Pete after seeing him off, only to see him back to his seat and pick up the phone on the table and dial it out.

The phone was quickly connected, and John said, "Pete didn't say yes immediately, but said to think about it." ”

"Really?" Tucker's voice came over the phone, "You mean he hesitated?" ”

"It's hesitation. Isn't that normal? He is not a native of the United States, and suddenly asked him to turn the muzzle of the gun and replace it with you, can you readily agree? John asked.

"I can't say yes." Tucker smiled and said, "And when will he give an answer?" ”

"Tomorrow." John said impatiently, "If you don't believe him, don't use it." Why don't you just go to those who are born and raised in the local area or who don't hesitate? ”

"I didn't distrust him. On the contrary, I think he's good. That's why I wanted to confirm his reaction. Tucker argued.

"Alright, Tucker." John didn't seem to eat this at all, "You just doubt it, admit it, it's nothing to deny to you." ”

"Okay. All right... Say whatever you want. Tucker said as if he was forced to admit it.
