Chapter Eighty-Nine: Who Listens to Whom
"Of course." Pete nodded and said, "Major, you're right. But that's not the question I want to ask. I just want to know who listens to whom between us and them when situations and problems arise? ”
Of course, McJison understood what Pete meant, he knew that these mercenaries and the people of the Intelligence Bureau were nothing more than asking for absolute command, but this was obviously impossible, as a local garrison, how could it be possible to hand over the command of his own people to a group of inexplicable people? Not to mention the command of the garrison of the entire Arsabad. But he knows that he can't say things too badly, and he can't say them too hard, after all, if something really goes wrong, his own people will also be responsible and the main responsibility. So McJison looked at Pete and said, "I can only tell you that you didn't come here to fight anyone, right?" It's not like you're here to deal with someone or catch something, right? ”
Zelda on the side said: "That's not necessarily... But before he could finish his sentence, Major McGison interrupted, "At least not now, right?" After that, I don't know, I didn't receive any instructions or orders, I just saw that you were going to Alsabad to pick up one or more prisoners, and I was right. ”
"Yes, that's right." Zelda nodded.
"That's fine. Since you are only here to take away the prisoners. So as a local garrison, if there is an armed attack or fighting, of course, it is our business. All you need to do is stay in a safe place or in the center of the line and keep an eye on your prisoners. So in such a situation, should the command of the company still belong to you? Not to mention the people of Arsabad as a whole, whose duty will not be to protect you. Not just to protect you, but to protect all of Arsabad and all the people there. ”
"You're right." Instead of letting Pete continue, Meghan said, "We see what you mean." So now that means that if we encounter a situation, we are at your disposal, right? ”
You can understand it this way. No one wants to have problems, but if they do, of course you listen to us. This is because we coordinate the relationships and personnel of all parties, aggregate various intelligence information, and then formulate the most appropriate action plan. Try it out, here only we can be in control, which means that here we are the ones you need to listen to. Major McGison said confidently.
"Okay. I understand. Meghan seemed to be reluctant to say anything more, but turned to Donovan and said, "Go check our gear, we'll get there as soon as possible." ”
"Aren't you going to stay here for a day?" Green asked, looking a little surprised.
Megan took a deep breath and said, "I changed my mind." We need to get there as soon as possible. It's afternoon, and we're going to hurry. We have to get there before the sun goes down. ”
"Okay." Green didn't object but said, "I don't know why you're suddenly in such a hurry, but I don't have an opinion. After speaking, he looked at McJisen and said, "Major, take us to see the equipment that has been prepared." Also help to assemble the Iraqi company so we can get out of here as soon as possible. ”
"That's fine." McGison also looked relieved. He nodded and immediately walked to the door and said, "Please come with me, there are still some things that need to be explained to you." ”
Pete and the others were taken out of the room, and after bypassing the bungalow, they came to the north side of the command post. There is a small open space here. At this moment, those Iraqis have gathered here, some of them are standing on the ground, some are sitting on armored vehicles, and they seem to be chatting very leisurely. And not far from them were three Humvees parked. All three cars are painted in desert camouflage, and there are no machine guns on them, but judging by the appearance of the bodies, these cars usually do a lot of work.
"Your gear is on the ground next to the car." Captain Rubin pointed to the boxes on the ground and then pointed to the car, "Food and water have been put on the car, and we have prepared extra spare tires and fuel for you." The fuel tanks are also full, enough for you to run four round trips between Mosul and Arsabad. The car is in good condition and has just been overhauled. Don't worry. ”
Donovan nodded and said to Matt and Morris, "Go and see if it's as good as he says." ”
Morris and Matt each answered and walked towards the car, while Donovan led the others to the boxes, only to see Rubin pointing to the nearest boxes and saying, "This is a gun for you." It's all M4A1 card guns. Some of them were retrofitted with grenade launchers. There is plenty of ammunition, and there are no more bullets left for you, except for those magazines that are all full. ”
"If it's not enough, we can offer more." McJisen said, "But it's probably useless to bring too much." ”
"It should be enough." Rubin said: "It's enough to play non-stop for half a day." After saying that, he pointed to the boxes and continued: "I have also prepared a few spare ones for you in case of malfunction or something. And then there's the machine gun you need. We have the M249 light machine gun on board. Drum feeding. With a stand, a tripod is also prepared. I also have a spare barrel ready. ”
"Jenimi, go see the machine gun you wanted. The others took their gear and put it on when they were done. Donovan continued: "Don't you have a special grenade launcher?" And RPGs. ”
"Grenade launchers, we don't have the kind you say. RPG, we only have Gustav, of course if you want RPG-7 you can do it, but I guess you won't get it until you get to Alsabad. Because only there those things are equipped. Rubin said.
Pete glanced at Rubin and picked up an M4A1 carbine handed over, which looked pretty good from the outside, and was well maintained from the sheen and smell it emitted. And what he cares more about is Rubin's words just now, his words show that the Iraqi forces in Alsabad are still equipped with Soviet-made or Russian-made equipment, which is why there is a situation where there are RPG-7s.
"I'd like to ask in passing." Pete thought of this and said, "The people of Alsabad are still using the weapons left behind by the Iraqi government forces, right?" ”
"Yes. So to speak. Anyway, it's still not the original ones, but at least it's the set and the way it looks. Rubin nodded.
