Chapter 0040: Captain
The other one is the same height as me, with slightly black skin, short skin, sharp eyes, fine stubble, and a scar about three centimeters on his face, which changes the face like the finishing touch. ε «δΈδΈ βζη½γ β.γ8β1 zγβ .CoM
If you put on this scar, he is a standard European handsome guy, and he is also the type that is mature, calm, and connotative, but when this scar is exposed, he becomes vicious and hideous, and he feels that he is not a good person at first glance.
Seeing us enter, both of them stood up and their eyes fell on me, and the shark walked over and saluted, and said to the bearded man, "Captain, I have brought the assassins." β
When I heard the word captain, I was shocked, it turned out that these two people were the captains of Caesar's mercenaries, I glanced at their collars, and there were actually military ranks hanging on them, I couldn't help but wonder, do mercenaries also have military ranks? It can't be hung up by yourself, right?
At this moment, the two men approached me, saluted me with their beards, and said politely, "Welcome, Lieutenant, I am Colonel Reis, you can call me Captain." β
I hurriedly straightened up, saluted a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Good! β
The three captains looked at each other with big eyes, and suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Don't be so nervous, this is not China." β
I blinked, and suddenly realized that I was a little too solemn, but I can't be blamed for that, the Chinese are so serious, I'm just used to it.
I took a deep breath, adjusted my mentality, and smiled, "I'm sorry Captain, I'm not used to your rules yet. β
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, this is what a real soldier should look like, it's just a little different here, there is no commander here when there is no mission, only brothers and friends, but on the battlefield, there are only military orders." The captain looked at me and said lightly.
I just smiled and didn't speak, I don't know what to say, I'm more curious about where he got that rank of colonel, he does look a lot more experienced than the Wild Lion Death, and he is a little older, is it because of this, he hung himself up with the rank of colonel? This is obviously unlikely, otherwise why not hang a higher one, and post the rank of general.
At this moment, another person held out his hand to me and smiled: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Assassin, I'm a knight, Caesar's vice-captain, I like your serious look, that's cool!" β
"Thank you, the way you compliment people is very special, it's a pleasure to be friends with you." I shook his hand and said politely.
"Okay, don't stand, this is your home from now on, just sit down!" The captain waved his hand and turned to sit down at the conference table.
I looked at the shark, he smiled at me, pulled a chair and sat down, I sighed helplessly, listening to the captain's tone, it seemed that he had taken me for his team, this is ridiculous, I swear, I really just came to visit.
I walked over to the conference table, pulled up a chair and sat down, and the knight pulled out a few cans of beer out of nowhere, threw me a can, and then gave a can to the shark and the captain.
"How does our base feel?" The captain looked at me with a smile.
"It's very professional and it's advanced." I'm telling you the truth, from the outside, this base may not be special, but inside, it's like making a Hollywood movie, and I haven't even seen a lot of advanced equipment, and I don't know where they got it.
"If you like it, you can stay here for a while longer or train with us, I'm sure you'll love it." The captain opened the beer and raised it at me, but he didn't drink it, just smiled meaningfully.
I'm not welcome, I just happened to be thirsty after walking for a long time, opened the beer and looked up and drank half a can, then put it aside, chuckled and said, "I like it here, but unfortunately my trip is almost over, and I will return home in three days." β
I'll shut the words first, and if I wait for them to speak, there will be all kinds of reasons to stop me from leaving, and then all the words they keep will be pressed back into my stomach.
"Really? That's a shame! The captain didn't show disappointment, just smiled and shook his head.
I stared at him, there was always a strange feeling in my heart, the more calm he appeared, the more I felt unsteady, I looked at the shark, the guy leaned back in his chair, his legs on the conference table, he was manicure with a saber, as if he hadn't heard us at all.
The knight sat there indifferently, holding a tablet in his hand, I sneaked a glance,, this guy is actually playing Plants vs. Zombies, has this game been spread to foreign military camps, how can you be a vice captain so naΓ―ve!
"I'm curious, how did you build such a large base?" I looked a little cold, so I quickly changed the topic.
"Oh, this place was originally an abandoned military base, owned by the French government, we did a mission for the government, and they gave it to us as a reward, and it was in tatters at that time, and everything you see now was repaired at our own expense." The captain explained to me.
"I see!" I nodded, thinking that things should not be so simple, although this small island is not big, it is worth tens of millions of dollars, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Caesar is an independent mercenary force, even if he has cooperated with the French government twice, but he will not be so blatant to build a military base on other people's territory.
The captain seemed to see my thoughts, and said lightly: "You don't have to be surprised, this place is only our temporary station in name, and I have another identity here, that is, the chief instructor of the French Foreign Legion, the French Foreign Legion is a legal regular army in France, and it is normal for my people to have a station here." β
I nodded knowingly, and that made sense, Bill had told me about it before, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, and I didn't think it would be so useful.
"Then your rank was also awarded by the Foreign Legion?" It occurred to me that if it was really a rank conferred by the Foreign Legion, then he was really a real colonel.
"No, my rank...... Not awarded by them. The captain paused, his face darkened, he raised his hand and stroked the rank of the collar, and trembled slightly, as if he remembered some past events that he did not want to mention.
"I'm sorry Captain, I shouldn't have asked that." I don't know what that rank means, but I think it must be a sad story.
"It's okay, it's not a secret, this is my rank when I served in the American Special Forces, and then because of something, my comrades died, so I chose to retire, and then I got here, and this rank has been retained." The captain seems to have a different affection for it, or maybe it is for his former comrades.
