44. They're Just Fast Food (Part II)
After the Serbs had dinner and bathed, we went to their barracks. When they saw us coming in, they all stood up and looked at us, as if waiting for our instructions. Each of them looked tired, and at the moment they were even more sleepy after dinner, but each of them was dressed as if they were ready to start training.
Milk also seems to think that they are in such a state, and it is rare that he does not scold. He walked back and forth in the room and said, "How is it?" Let's get to know each other. Go to the respective instructors. ”
Soon these people took action, and my thorn squad people, including Zhao Yi, surrounded them. I glanced at the ten men and said, "Everyone else calls me a gypsy, but you're not qualified to do that yet." I think you know what to call it. Your names are a bit of a twist to me, so I don't really want to call you by your first names, I'll give you a nickname that I'm easy to call. It's like people call me a gypsy. After I finished speaking, I looked at Birsa, who was tall and had been a soldier before, and said, "You, I will call you a veteran in the future." Then I pointed to the stout fired policeman Olich next to him and said, "I'll call you a policeman." Although it was expelled. Then I looked at Condic, who was also tall, and said, "You call the coach." Then I looked at the shortest driver in the class and said, "Your name is dwarf." ”
Hearing the nickname "dwarf", some people laughed quietly. I looked at them and said, "A nickname is just a symbol, it doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't indicate your ability. After I finished speaking, I looked at Milosevic, who had the same name as the president of Yugoslavia and was a fellow countryman, and said, "You are called the president." ”
The young and somewhat well-mannered Mr. "President" was clearly pleased with the nickname, and he said, "Yes, sir." ”
Then I pointed to Srna, who used to be a waitress in a restaurant and looked thin, and said, "You're a refugee." After saying that, I pointed to Panich, a middle school teacher next to him, and said, "You are a teacher, in my hometown." The teacher is called a gardener, and you will be called a gardener from now on. ”
Finally, Krarov, who seems to have worked in many professions, and Pjanic, who seems to be an experienced security guard, and Pjanich, who seems to be honest, I have nicknamed the two of them "homeless" and "good man".
"And what should I be called?" Zhao Yi shouted from the side.
I glanced at him and said, "Yours should wait for Nicky to get it for you." I said and looked at the Serbs, "Tell me why you're here?" ”
The men looked at each other, but none of them spoke. I smiled and said, "You're all ready to be outlaws, and you're embarrassed to say?" Still can't say? ”
The dwarf Oblak looked at me and said, "My home is Pristina, but it doesn't belong to the Serbs anymore. It is now the capital of Kosovo. ”
Then the "president" spoke: "Yugoslavia, as you can see from the name, is Slavish, ours!" But now that NATO has torn us apart, who can bear to have their country become like this? Croats and Albanians, like dogs, rely on their NATO masters to confront us. They all deserve to be punished, we Serbs have never been strong in history, but we have never lacked courage and cannot stand such a cowardice. ”
"Yes. That's a good point. The homeless and the good people agreed, and the homeless continued: "My fathers fought in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Croats and Albanians were not our opponents, so they called their backers to help them. They're just a bunch of cowards. ”
"That land was supposed to be within the realm of the Orthodox Church." Gardener Panic said in a gentle tone, "It's the home of the Serbs. It's just that because of the Ottoman Turks' westward expedition, the Serbs resisted heroically, the prince was also killed, we were defeated, the whole Balkans began to be Ottomanized, and the original Catholic Albanians betrayed their own faith and changed it to ******, and these people occupied the homeland of the Serbs who were unwilling to endure oppression and unwilling to change their faith. Hehe, during World War II they even preferred to build the so-called Greater Albania with Mussolini, they were not good men before and were not good people all the time. And now it's just that Ottoman Turkey has become NATO. ”
Veteran Birsa said: "The Serbs are not short of fighters. My life was completely ruined and someone had to pay the price. ”

Condic clearly agreed with Bielsa's words, saying: "If it weren't for the damn war, I might have become a sports star." ”
Olich looked at me and said, "I just want to teach the Yankees, the British, and the so-called peacekeepers." As he spoke, he wiped his face with his hand and said, "The air raid is terrible." It's true. I. I.. A lot of people didn't run out. He choked up as he spoke.
The gardener beside him patted him on the back, "You'll have a chance." ”
I sighed and said, "Do you all still have families?" ”
Some of them nodded, others shook their heads gloomily. I nodded and said, "Do you know that when you go back one day, you will be killed?" ”
"I've thought about it." "Of course I did." Everyone has arrived. "I thought about even worse. Caught and buried alive. Condic said.
"Good." I clapped my hands, "It's important that you know what you're going to face in the future." It's scary to think about, but it can at least give you some motivation to train. ”
"Sir! Can I ask you a question? Mr. President raised his hand.
I looked at him and said, "What do you want to know?" ”
"I want to ask, have you ever fought? And where are you from? Mr. President asked.
I smiled when I heard this question, and I saw the expressions of other people and also wanted to know the answer to this question. I pretended to look out mysteriously and said, "Do you think I've ever fought?" Like people in what place? ”
They looked at each other, some thought I had hit, others were skeptical. "I don't know if you've ever fought, but you're certainly not a gypsy. ”
"It doesn't matter where I'm from. I'm not a Gypsy, that's just a nickname given to me by a bunch of Ukrainians here. As for my combat experience, I can tell you that I have been to Chechnya, that's all. I said.
"Chechnya? Grozny? The president exclaimed, a little excitedly.
"Grozny is just a part of the whole war, and it doesn't revolve around Grozny from start to finish." I clapped my hands and said, "None of this matters. No matter how many battles I've fought, I'm likely to be killed in the next battle. A lot of times it's not that you can't die if you're experienced, after all, the other party isn't stupid, they have guns, and they're trained. I've seen too many veterans fall, let alone new recruits like you. ”
My words silenced everyone, and it was clear that anyone was afraid of death. After a while, Gardener Panich said, "What should we do when we go to war?" I mean when fighting. ”
I shook my head and said, "Combat is not a game, there are no rules and venues. What you say to do, I can't answer you. What I can tell you is, you can't do it on your own. Rely on the people around you, such as the president, dwarves, vagrants, and comrades next to you. In the same way, your comrades are relying on you. This will ensure that you have a chance not to be killed quickly. Don't believe the stories of those lonely heroes in the movie, don't even think about it. If you don't have a companion, if the opponent is the same strength as you, as long as there is one more person, it is very likely that you will not be able to run away and be killed. The best way I can tell you right now is to train hard. Of course you think you've worked hard, and you must feel like a concentration camp right now, don't you? ”
They didn't speak, but judging by their expressions, they almost thought so in their hearts. I smiled and said, "That's normal, but don't be upset." The real battlefield was very brutal, much more brutal than it is now. If you don't have good physical strength, mental endurance, and no need to be beaten by others, you will soon go crazy yourself. So what you said before, the desire to fight, if you are not acting, if you really want to achieve it, then please train hard. To tell you the truth, the training will be more arduous and the requirements will be more stringent, but you must persevere, only then can you form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. You don't know that you're being called fast food. fast
Do you understand the meal? Because you are different from other soldiers who are formally trained, you have no foundation, and you are pressed for time, but what you have to do in the future is not easy. Fast food, which is generally emergency, does not taste very good, and no one will remember his taste even if it is not too bad. But I hope you don't do that, and I hope that when you face your enemies in the future, even if you don't make it home alive, let your opponents always remember you, and make yourself a nightmare that they never want to remember. ”
