The plane landed at a secret base set up by the NATO coalition forces in Macedonia, which was specially established as a temporary base to support the operation.

The person in charge of receiving us was an American staff officer, with the rank of major, a serious young man, who could not joke, let alone sycophant, otherwise he would not have been assigned to this place where birds don't.

In addition to the three platoons of barracks, there are only three infantry combat vehicles, a team of patrolling American soldiers, and a cook, which is not a base at all, at most a temporary settlement.

Eight members of the Navy SEALs arrived before us, and when they saw us, several of them whispered and laughed irritably, whether they looked down on the mercenaries or laughed at the fact that there were so many of us.

As the best special forces unit in the U.S. Navy, they do have conceited capital, but it depends on who they compare to, I remember when the training camp started, it only took us a month to pass all the subjects in the Navy SEAL training manual, and to be honest, I really didn't take them seriously.

The U.S. staff assigned us barracks, which were made of dark green military tents, each with eight beds, and we had eighteen people, two barracks, and then we set up a simple three-man tent for the phoenix, the wildcat, and the black pearl to rest.

In the evening, a British transport plane slowly landed in the airfield, the hatch opened, and ten commandos from the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment of the British Royal Air Force stepped off the plane in turn.

Add the SEALs and our Avengers mercenaries, and all the members of the operation are here.

The British, by contrast, looked a little modest, but they knew the Americans well, high-fived each other and hugged each other, and gave us just a polite military salute.

In the evening, we held an operational meeting in the conference room, which was attended by only five people, the captains of three commando teams, an American combat staff officer, and a military adviser.

I don't know exactly what the position of this Brit with the title of military adviser is, but his military rank is the same as that of the US military staff officer, which is major.

"According to the plan of the Supreme Command of the NATO coalition forces, you will enter the Kosovo region from the Macedonian border, the goal is to search for ground armor and anti-aircraft fire of the government forces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, according to satellite reconnaissance, the first two rounds of air strikes have destroyed more than a dozen strongholds in Pristina, and the information obtained so far shows that the government forces have transferred a large number of air defense facilities to the mountains and jungles, satellites and drones are unable to capture targets, and the coalition forces can only send ground troops to reconnoiter behind enemy lines, if they cannot completely destroy the air defense weapons of the Yugoslav army, Our Air Force will suffer incalculable losses. The US military staff briefed the current situation.

"Is it that serious? I read in the news report, didn't the US military shoot down only one reconnaissance plane? I glanced at the seals and said deliberately.

"Of course, the U.S. military has almost no losses, and it is not the U.S. fighter that was shot down." The implication of the staff officer's words is that the other NATO member states have suffered losses of varying degrees.

As a soldier who often wanders the battlefield, of course, I know that the numbers in the news reports are far from the real figures, and the US military has far more than one fighter plane shot down, otherwise I would not be in such a hurry to destroy the enemy's air defense facilities.

"Excuse me, whose command should we obey when our three commandos are acting together?" The captain of the Navy SEALs was unwilling to dwell on the humiliating matter, so he asked a pointed question.

The U.S. staff officer looked at me and then at the British commander, and for a moment it was difficult to make a decision, and the captain of the Navy SEAL looked at the British and motioned for him to give his opinion.

The British, who had always been the leader of the Americans, immediately suggested that Captain SEAL be the commander-in-chief of the three commandos.

Everyone's eyes fell on me, and the U.S. staff officers and British advisers naturally turned to the Navy SEALs, and even if I was against it, it was the minority obeying the majority, but they still wanted to hear my affirmative answer.

After hesitating for a moment, I raised my head and said with a smile: "Since it is a reconnaissance mission, our three commandos are acting together, the target is too big, not flexible enough and easy to expose, I suggest that the three commandos act separately, enter Kosovo from three directions to search, everyone completes their own tasks, and no one has to listen to anyone's command, isn't it better?" ”

After listening to my words, several people looked at each other, and Captain SEAL said strongly: "If you receive the money, you should obey our command, otherwise when you get to the war zone, if you hide until the end of the mission, won't it be too easy to make money?" ”

I narrowed my eyes slightly, sneered, and said, "We collect money to complete the task, not to be your subordinates." ”

"So you're not going to cooperate?" The smile on Captain SEAL's face faded.

"I'm afraid you're holding us back!" I gave a look of disdain.

Captain SEAL was obviously not very happy about my arrogance, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly shrugged his shoulders and said, "OK, let's compete with each other, whoever wins will be the commander." ”

"Just you?" I burst out laughing, shook my head and said, "Forget it, save some face for you, so as not to go back and be demoted." ”

"You ......" Captain SEAL slammed his fist on the table, eager to come up and tear me up.

"Alright, sit down for me!" The U.S. staff officer reached out to stop him, and I sat leisurely in my chair as if nothing happened, my fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, completely ignoring his anger.

"What Captain Shura said makes sense, you guys can't fight together at all in this state, in order to complete the mission successfully, you will act separately, we will divide the target into three areas, and you will each be responsible for an area and search by yourself." The U.S. staff finally made a decision.

"OK, no problem, let the two of them choose first, and the rest will be mine." I chuckled and stood up, my hands on the table, I looked at Captain SEAL and said, "Don't you want to compete, then see which of us completes the task first." ”

After speaking, I looked at the US military staff officer, "After the two of them have finished choosing, send me the map of the area we are responsible for." With that, I turned and walked out of the conference room.

When I returned to the barracks, I briefly reported the results of the meeting to everyone, and then went back to rest, and two hours later, I received a map of the area sent by the US military staff officer to the military computer.

Looking at the map, our area is the location of the southeast of Kosovo, and when I see this area, I can't help but sneer secretly, this location is very close to the city, and I don't need to think about it to know that there must be a large number of government soldiers hidden in the mountains, and it is the most dangerous area.

But it doesn't matter, I'm mentally prepared, it's much better than having Captain SEAL as the commander, they think that mercenaries are cheap, and if they really let him command, they will definitely use us as cannon fodder.

Although it is a search for dangerous areas, at least there is no need to be coerced, besides, the most dangerous place is often the safest place, and the specific situation will not be known until the battlefield.

Whoever says it's safe to be far from the city, maybe the place that thinks it's safe may hide the deadliest danger.

After a night without words, at seven o'clock the next morning, all the commandos who participated in the mission, all assembled in the empty field of the base, we will reach the Macedonian border by helicopter, and then enter the target area on foot.
