Our new location was a hill with a few cabins deep in the woods. It was to the northwest of the barracks, which meant that we hid deeper into Serbian territory, distancing ourselves from the eastern battalion. Further north of us is a group of Serbian government troops. It is said that the person in charge was the one I met after the night attack on Dravic, and the Serbian soldier I met when I went to rescue Vukovic.

We were taken care of by a small hospital in the town of Vukovic, and then the seriously injured were transferred to a big hospital in a big city, and Kostic and Vukovic took care of it, so I didn't have to worry about it. For people like me, who don't have any major problems, they are treated and recuperated locally.

During this time, I took the five unlucky people from Kosovo to the border line and made a deal with the Kosovars, and I chose the place in the market of Salish. The man sent by the other side was Waldette, the guy who loved to sneer. This guy paid us one hand and the other hand, but before we parted, he called me aside for a cigarette and a chat.

There weren't a few words in the conversation, but it was clear that the guy had a lot of opinions about that Younis's old friend, and suggested that I have a good chat next time.

Two or three days after closing the deal, I left the hospital and went to our new location, which I call a cottage.

In fact, the environment of my cottage is quite good, although there is no green water, but the mountain is indeed green. Of course, it is estimated that it will not be long before the green, after all, it is already autumn. One of the cabins was mine, and most of the people still used tents. I don't really like to be in the house, I like to move a stool or just find a grass area to sit and smoke and bask in the sun.

There are locals who help save us a lot of things, first of all, we are not afraid of food and clothing, plus we are now nouveau riche, money? That's not a problem. Now I'm like a rich man here, digging a hole in the ground that doubles as a cellar and is filled with all kinds of food and smuggled liquor looted from the supermarket in Salish.

Our group of people have been on vacation since they arrived here, except for not leaving here, and arranging for sentries and guards to be on duty, everyone else spends every day barbecuing, drinking wine, eating meat, singing and dancing. The old fellow Eunice even fell into the barrel. According to him, the wine was good, and some of it was still good, presumably smuggled for bribes or as gifts. He didn't even need the flask now, so he just twisted the bottle into his mouth and read Salehi's diary.

"I said, can't you drink less? I wonder how an old drunkard like you could do that? Isn't that a very delicate job? I looked at the old guy sitting not far from me, who was also basking in the sun.

Younis smiled, "My Captain, oh no! It should be said that my Lord Duke, if you have been doing one thing as I have been doing it for decades without interruption and very focused, and you are useless except for this, then you can be said to have quite a lot of control in this matter, to put it simply, it doesn't matter much whether you drink or not. At least I'm sure that the wine doesn't affect my work, but maybe it excites me and makes me more productive. After Eunice finished speaking, he poured out again: "Have you heard the rumors outside recently?" ”

I glanced at him, "Didn't you already call me Duke just now?" Isn't this just a rumor? This is probably passed on by that stupid guy of Trovic, and only he is interested in these kings and lords. ”

"It's not all. I'm talking about something else. Now many people are saying that you have carried out a crazy massacre, and that is about to catch up with the real massacres of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Younis said.

This.... Actually, I don't want that to happen. Who wants to be called a demon? I let out a long sigh, "Just say it." Anyway, I killed a lot of people. ”

"It's good that you don't care. But what I mean is that you have to be extra careful, and if you get caught one day, these rumors will really be your crime. ”

"What if I'm not unlucky?" I asked rhetorically.

Younis spread his hands and said, "Then it's better when I don't say these words." ”

I smiled and said, "Are you reminding me that I shouldn't have traded those people for ransom?" Should I kill them all? I think these rumors have been spread by those who have come out of me alive. ”

"Hey... Okay, let's not talk about that. Anyway, you don't have a good reputation, and you're not a person who wants fame. Younis said and waved his hand, "You never said what you wanted the money for. It's not going to be used to hold bonfires here every day, let alone tell me that you're going to really set up an armed organization and occupy a place to be a bandit. ”

"Don't talk nonsense. Of course, it's not a gang. Do you want to know? Then I'll tell you. I stood up and patted my buttocks, "I'm not a intelligence agent like you, and I'm ruthless to my enemies and my own people. If I had **** this line with you guys, I would have died in Chechnya a long time ago. And most of them don't have anything to say after they die. I pointed to the group of Serbs who were still basking in the sun, barbecuing, drinking and singing, "but they are different." These people have fought with me, and you have seen a lot of them from the beginning to the present. I said they wouldn't face west, and I said attack them and fight to the death. I can't just leave them alone after completing a mission like you. Since they obey my command, I will not only command them to fight, but also leave them a way out when they are done. ”

Younis looked at me with a look of surprise, "You... You're saying that so much money you're going to give them? Do you know how much money you have right now? ”

Actually, I really didn't pay attention to how much money we have now, but before I could speak, Younis had already spoken: "From the money you robbed Salish of the Albanian in Kosovo, and then the ransom you asked for this time, plus the large amount of cash that Salish left behind, those works of art, and drugs, do you know how much money there is?" You have nearly 30 million, my dear student! Have you ever seen that much money? Do you want to check it out? You say give it to people, do you give it to people? Do you know how many people will kill for 30 million? ”

"Dollars?" I asked.

"Nonsense! I'm talking about rubles? ”

"Hmm. Not bad. But I don't know if it's enough. Do we want to get some weapons and equipment to sell? Anyway, the pile in Chechnya is also moldy. I spoke.

"You... All right... I have to say, I admire you on this. Thirty million, without blinking an eye. The old guy looked at me, "You're going to give money?" Didn't you prepare other benefits for them? Do you want to arrange a medical insurance and buy an insurance or something? ”

"Arrange for them to go to other countries. For example, Russia. I said and looked at Younis and smiled.

"Hah! You've finally got something to ask me for. Why don't you arrange to go to your country? This gang went, hahaha, it was fun, maybe it would become the biggest gang in the area. Younis laughed.

"Don't help it." I said and looked at Pulsic, who was in charge of the barbecue at the bottom of the hill, "Look at these people, don't you think they are pitiful?" If there was no war, maybe they would be very happy at the moment, and if they won, maybe it would be good, but unfortunately they lost everything. ”

"What does that have to do with you? You didn't do it. Younis whispered.

"But they fought side by side with me, and they could rush at the enemy without hesitation as I commanded. That's enough! I patted Younis on the back, "You have a share, too." You're an old bastard of intelligence, but we've fought side by side. Of course, if you throw that grenade, you have to deduct the money... ”

"Alright." Younis raised his hand, "You're bribing me." But I prefer those wines, and yours are mine. There are also a few paintings that I liked. ”

"Whatever. You drank to death, and I will be responsible for burying it. I'll bury the painting I like next to you. I said as I walked over to Pulsic.

"Huh. By the way, what happened to my grenade? Isn't the action standard? I had formal military training, I was a soldier! Feed! Did you hear that?! You can talk about selling weapons and equipment, really! ”
