Chapter 40: Successors
"Isn't that a good thing?" Pete smiled and said, "I also think this kind of fight and killing is overkill for you." ”
"Huh." Donovan laughed, "Originally, I thought so myself. You also know that when I was in the service, I was already stronger than I am now, and I am much stronger. But now when John really mentioned it to me, no, I should say that he was sure to get me promoted, and I was a little bit out of the front team... Somewhat lost. ”
"Lost?" Pete looked puzzled and said, "Why?" Why Lost? ”
Donovan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Originally, I also wondered why I was lost. I was planning to make a career out of Hermet. I should have been happy. Why is it lost? But then I figured it out. He said and looked back at the building and said, "This team was a mess when I took over. But now you look at it still? ”
"Of course not." Pete shook his head and said, "If it's still a mess, maybe it will be removed a long time ago." ”
"That's true. Especially the fighting in Georgia. I will never forget that day of battle for the rest of my life. Donovan said and sighed, "Although we were embarrassed that day and lost Jeff, I have to say that we fought a good battle." Not only persevered to the end, but also successfully completed the protection task. It also means more to me that everything I have done since I took over this team is right, reasonable and effective. The people in this team have built trust in each other, and the team has gradually grown stronger, and the recent addition of personnel has prepared me to take the team to do a good job. At least one or two of my iron helmets should be embroidered on the team flag. But now, I don't think there's much chance of that. Maybe I won't have a chance anymore. After that, I'm more likely to stand in the back and watch you or the rest of the squad fight, and then talk to the guys in the Intelligence Bureau or whatever. ”
Pete looked at Donovan and said, "Not necessarily. Didn't John personally lead the men into battle? I don't recommend it, but if you really want that, I think there's a chance. ”
Donovan waved his hand and said, "I can't." John had more control than anyone else could match. When he comes forward, none of us will suspect anything, and there will be no objection to his actions. I'm different, if I skip the level and seize the command of the action team and then directly point fingers, I think it will soon explode and be denounced. So it's not that you're talking about impossible, but that for me it's going to be a situation that will come out a long time later. After saying that, he sighed and continued: "In addition, there is another problem. That's the question of who will take over the team. John meant to let me decide. He looked at Pete and said, "What can I decide?" It's nothing more than choosing one person from the current team. ”
Donovan's words made Pete's heart beat faster. Obviously, Donovan's recommendation is extremely important for who will take over the Maneating Shark Squad. And for Pete, he would love to get the squad. Although John had previously expressed his intention to let Pete lead a team, it was really not as good as taking over a team that he didn't know at all, the people inside didn't know anything about it, and even the newly formed team that was completely strange to each other was really not as good as directly taking over the man-eating shark team.
More importantly, what does Donovan mean by saying this to himself? As long as you are not stupid, you can know that this is mostly telling yourself that you intend to hand over the team to yourself, and the previous words have complaints or brainstorms, but they are also a prelude. ://
So Pete couldn't help but be a little excited, but he didn't show it, but took a puff of cigarette and said, "So who are you going to choose?" ”r>
Donovan looked at Pete and smiled, as if he had seen through Pete's thoughts, "Don't ask knowingly. I've told you so much, don't you understand what I mean? ”
"And you're going to let me take over the team?" Pete asked.
Donovan nodded, "Exactly." To tell you the truth, at first I thought of three people, one was you, one was Morris, and one was Ochoa. ”
Hearing Donovan's conclusion, Pete let out a long sigh of relief, but then he asked curiously, "So... So why me? ”
"You three compare. Morris and Ochoa have been on the team longer than you. It stands to reason that the two of them should be considered more, after all, these two are more likely to be supported by others. However, this doesn't seem to be very important to the current Man-Eating Shark Squad. The team actually went into a state of being beaten again after returning from Georgia. The three of them are the same for everyone, and Ellie may support you more. In that case, Maurice may only have Matt to support him, and if I count me, I'll support you, and as for Ochoa, if he were to choose between you and Morris, I think he would have been on Morris's side before, but now it's hard to say, I even think he's probably on your side. ”
"Why? Is there any difference between now and before? Pete asked curiously.
Donovan smiled and said, "Didn't Ochoa tell you that our respective wives often see each other and talk about us?" ”
"Uh... It's as if Ochoa told me about it, and I learned from him that he had a good opinion of me. Hehe. Pete said and smiled.
"Not bad." Donovan nodded and said, "From what I've heard from the ladies, Ochoa has a good opinion of you. Especially in your last operation, although he felt that he almost lost his life at the risk, he was very impressed with your decision. ”
"Really?" Pete looked a little surprised, "I'll be honest, in fact, I regret all my actions that day. ”
"Huh." Donovan shook his head with a smile and said, "Not only him, John also said that your performance is very eye-catching." Yes, John should be one of your supporters, and the strongest supporter. He told me that he wanted to give you a team for you. After some consideration, I decided to recommend to him that you take over the Maneating Shark Squad. But now the more troubling question is whether Morris and Matt can accept such an outcome. ”
"Uh... It seems a bit difficult. Pete said: "After all, it should be him in the order of taking over the command in wartime." If I suddenly became the person who came to this team not long ago, I would be dissatisfied. ”
