Volume 2: A Twist of Fate Chapter 14: Meet the Elite Again
Before the next training program begins, everyone has 1 day to recuperate. After the four of them finished breakfast, Yang Fan decided to talk to Jason, who had been training together almost every day for the past month, and Jason had also begun to tell them about the past.
Yang Fan and the others discovered that Jason was actually a very easy-going person, and he also needed friends. It's just that because of his previous experience, he will be a little defensive about strangers, and once he gets acquainted, Jason will unreservedly show himself to his friends. Maybe it's because he's been closed off for too long, so he needs someone to talk to.
"Hey, number 23."
The four people were walking in the direction of the dormitory, and Yang Fan heard someone calling him from behind. The four people all turned their heads to look back, and Yang Fan saw two people walking over one after the other.
Walking in front is a typical European and American handsome guy, almost 180cm tall, standard figure, delicate facial features, sunny smile, at first glance, it belongs to the kind of woman who has a good relationship.
The man in the back was about the same height as him, a little stronger, with short hair, a tough face, deep eye sockets, Peugeot facial features, a shallow beard, and a serious expression, but it also revealed easy-going.
Yang Fan and the four of them glanced at each other, and they all shook their heads, saying that they didn't know the two people in front of them, and they didn't belong to this group.
The handsome guy walked up to the four of them and said with a hippie smile, "Hello, number 23." We were part of the training team from another group, my name was Bruce Hunter, number 11, and I was previously with SAS in the UK. ”
He pointed to the man behind him and said, "His name is Younas Hoffmann, No. 13, and he used to be the former German KSK 4th Commando. ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately added: "Don't get me wrong, he is not the kind of German civil servant in military uniform that you have the impression of, this is a real special operations elite!" ”
"Oops, SAS and KSK! That's the world's first-class special forces! Zhao Erhu said with a look of surprise.
Bruce laughed "haha": "This brother is very knowledgeable!" Hahaha! ”
Yang Fan nodded to Bruce and said, "Hello, my name is Yang Fan, and I'm from Huaxia!" Nice to meet you guys. He then introduced the three Evan separately.
After the six got to know each other, Bruce continued, "Number 23. I saw you coming out of the hurricane that day and that harvester, that feeling! It's really..."
He rubbed his hands and made a look of enjoyment, and then said: "Let me tell you, in fact, I have long seen that the harvester is not pleasing to the eye, and I don't like this kind of empty-eyed person the most!" Everyone is an elite, and not everyone thinks SK is amazing, don't you say? ”
Without waiting for Yang Fan to answer, he continued: "Actually, I also wanted to stand up at that time, but I didn't feel 100% sure, it seems that I may be a little inferior to you in shooting!" You're so good! That one...... Did you use the Huaxia Special Forces before? It must be the most mysterious special forces of that kind! ”
Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "You have won the prize!" In fact, I am not 100% sure of that shot, I am ready for 1000 push-ups and 20 kilometers of weight-bearing off-road! Hahahaha. Also, I didn't serve as a soldier before, I just did some shooting training! My marksmanship is definitely not as good as yours! ”
Younas next to him said with a serious face: "Yang Fan, you are too modest!" As you can tell from your shooting moves, you must have been rigorously trained, and it should be more than just military shooting training! Your standing shooting is standard, and you should have been trained in professional sports shooting! ”
"That's right, you're right! I did have sports shooting training before! Yang Fan secretly admired this person's observation ability, it seems that this training camp is really a master, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Bruce continued, "Also, the number 14 who stood behind you that day and reminded you that day was a master, he used to be an elite sniper in DEVGRU. I heard you were practicing sniping alone with him! Tsk tsk, there aren't many opportunities like this! No wonder I can't see you every night! ”
Seeing that Bruce was chatting endlessly, Evan said, "I said, friend, I don't know what you guys are looking for us today?" Still is? ”
Bruce suddenly became serious, and said seriously: "It's nothing, Younas and I just want to get to know you officially and make friends." I think it's so impersonal in this training camp, everyone wants to fight to get into that SK. It's intriguing, it's boring, and it doesn't have the feeling of life and death between brothers like the army. I've been observing for a long time, and except for Younas, I feel that you are different from them and have a sense of justice. And I see that the relationship between the few of you and the 14th is also very good, and there is no feeling of being careful everywhere. So, nothing else, I just like you guys and want to make friends, how about it? ”
Before Yang Fan could speak, Bruce pointed at Evan and said, "Especially you!" I like your number, number 24. That's my idol Kobe Bryant's number, why don't we change it? ”
Yang Fan couldn't help but feel funny, it seemed that this Bruce was also an optimist, so he asked, "So you like the NBA?" Among the four of them, only Yang Fan is the most interested in basketball.
Bruce immediately said, "Of course! I'm a big fan of the Lakers and Kobe! ”
Then he raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers in a row, and said in a deep voice: "Kung Fu and basketball are the second and third of my three favorite things." So my name is Bruce, because that's Bruce Lee's English name. My code name is Peter Pan, and that's Kobe's nickname. What do you think? Awesome! ”
Zhao Erhu asked curiously, "Bruce, what's your first favorite thing?" ”
Bruce pointed at Zhao Erhu, shook his finger noncommittally, and said, "I said Zhao Erhu brother!" A man's favorite thing is, of course, a woman. My friend, I tell you—"
When Bruce was about to give Zhao Erhu a vivid educational lesson, Bruce, who Evan suddenly held, was fiddling with his hand and said excitedly: "The hero is slightly the same, and I finally met a confidant!" Brothers! ”
Bruce's other hand also held Evan's hand, and the two of them held each other's hands, looking at each other, like long-lost brothers who had finally reunited after a difficult obstacle, completely ignoring the slightly disdainful glances cast by the other four.
"Oh, brother. It seems that you too... Hahahahaha! With that, Bruce and Evan hugged each other, then looked at each other with appreciative eyes.
Younas coughed lightly twice, interrupting the two Bruce, who were admiring themselves, and said, "Everyone, in this training camp, everyone calls a number or a code name, and my code name is Bandage. ”
Younas saw that Yang Fan and the four of them were a little puzzled after hearing this code name, and immediately explained: "I was a surgeon before joining the army, and then I joined KSK, and my role is that I am an assault and a medical officer and a military doctor in the team. When I was on a mission, every time everyone called me, they would almost always add a bandage to the end, so I simply called it a bandage later. ”
Several people instantly imagined that kind of picture, which also showed that the bandage should be a person who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. In the German army, there are not many special forces that can be called truly combat-ready, but KSK is definitely one of them.
Yang Fan just didn't understand how a person like Younas, an assaulter, who could also be a medical guard and a military doctor, could leave the army, and this kind of person should be offered up when he went there. Perhaps, these will not be known until Evan checks the information, and with some doubts, Yang Fan also introduced the code names of the four of them one by one.
At this time, Evan came back to his senses from the passion with Bruce and said, "Newcomer, I think Peter Pan and Bandages are very good, and they are very temperamental with us." As...... Let's talk about it. Huzi, you go to find the bull's-eye, let's see you at 601, and say that you will introduce him to 2 new friends. The bullseye is so stuffy, I need to make a few more friends. ”
"Of course!" Yang Fan also smiled and nodded. Bruce and Younas are No. 11 and No. 13, and they are the absolute elite of this training camp, and it will only be good for me to be able to build a relationship with them.
Several people returned to the dormitory together, Zhao Erhu went to the 4th floor to find Jason first, and Bruce and Younas followed Yang Fan to 601 in advance to wait.
After Jason arrived, Yang Fan introduced Bruce and Younas to him. The American DEVGRU, the British SAS and the German KSK should all belong to the Tier 1 special forces in this world. The three of them have a lot of common topics to talk about, and Yang Fan and the four of them are also very interested in their experience.
Seven people with common topics and hobbies easily got together, and they went to the cafeteria together at dinner time when they talked about 601. Bruce and Younas live in 508, but since then, they have even surpassed 508 in 601, and 601 has become a new stronghold for these 7 people.
Bruce is very cheerful and candid. During the time we got along, he first introduced his own experience, and also secretly told Yang Fan and the five people about Younas's experience, of course, with Younas's acquiescence. Evan also checked some basic information about the two in detail, T3 didn't care about the mercenary's past, so some of them would not be as complete as written in the basic information. Coupled with Bruce's narrative, Yang Fan has a more comprehensive understanding of the two of them.
Bruce, an Englishman born on June 23, 1987, said he was still a declining aristocrat. Bruce served in SAS, a special operations specialist, on the Red Team, and was actually a pilot in the Air Force before joining SAS.
Later, Bruce's parents felt that SAS was too dangerous, so they used a lot of connections to force him to return to the Air Force. Bruce's personality was too eccentric, and he always felt that he was too bored after returning to the Air Force, and he did not fly according to the requirements of his superiors during a mission, and was punished by the Air Force, disqualified from combat, and arranged for him to work as an instructor at the Air Force Academy. It was around that time that Bruce's relationship with his parents deteriorated.
During his time at the Air Force Academy, Bruce felt that the rules of the Air Force School were too cumbersome and procedural, so he transferred to a British civil aviation company as a captain through a relationship. But he still did not change his dissolute and uninhibited character, violated civil aviation regulations and flew dangerously many times, and disagreed with the co-pilot, flirted with the flight attendant, and even had an improper relationship with a female first-class female passenger, which caused a very bad impact on the civil aviation company, and was finally fired from the civil aviation.
Since then, Bruce has rarely returned home, and his relationship with his family has become even more strained. He still likes to participate in front-line combat, and has joined several ultra-small mercenary groups, but he feels that the level of those is too poor to meet his standards. Later, he was discovered by T3's European contacts and recommended here.
Both Bruce and Younas' experiences are related to the family, but if Bruce's experience is somewhat akin to comedy, then Younas's experience is definitely a tragedy.
Younas is an assault and medic of the 4th Commando Brigade of the former German KSK Special Forces, and can also be qualified as a military doctor. His father, a government official in Germany, did not want to see his son always on such a dangerous mission. He wants his son to be the kind of uniform soldier who works 9 to 5 and gets overtime pay. But Younas had his own ideas, and he was not willing to waste his life like other German soldiers, so he insisted on staying in the KSK.
Younas's girlfriend also served in the military, they were classmates in medical school, and Younas joined the army because of her. Later, Younas compromised with his father, and with his father's help, Younas was transferred to one of his girlfriend's peacekeeping forces, and since then, the two have served together.
During a dangerous mission, his girlfriend was kidnapped by bandits in order to save a local injured government worker, Younas violated the rules of engagement of the peacekeeping force and took the initiative to attack and clashed head-on with the bandits, but the rest of the peacekeeping team did not come forward to help. In the end, Younas was outnumbered and shot twice, while his girlfriend was killed by the other bandits.
Younas rescued the wounded government worker, and the peacekeepers did not hold him accountable. But the death of his girlfriend made Younas begin to hate the army, and he left the army and Germany. Younas is an excellent assaulter, an elite soldier king, and a medic, so many mercenary groups have invited him. Some of them also offer sky-high commissions, and Younas briefly joined a small mercenary group, but he can't adapt to the bloodthirsty life of mercenaries who can do anything for money. It was also T3's European liaison who approached him and it took a lot of effort to convince him to join the camp.
Yang Fan and others also introduced their experiences to Bruce and Younas, and everyone who came here to participate in the training had their own stories. But there is another thing that the people who can enter 601 have in common, that is, none of the seven of them are T3s who joined purely for commissions. Mercenaries who don't pursue commissions are rare and unique, which is why they are so different and attractive to each other.
The happiest of the few was Yang Fan, whose group of five became seven, and there was more joy. Especially with the addition of Bruce, a playboy, Evan alone could not change the atmosphere of the five-person group, but now with Bruce, this seven-person group is full of infinite joy.
Yang Fan needs this kind of joy so much, because it can make Yang Fan temporarily forget the memories of the past, and it can also allow him to temporarily let go of the pressure caused by having to enter SK and achieve self-redemption.
