Chapter 582: Idle Things in the Cave

"Sometimes I think about it, this world is still quite wonderful......" Hou Dasheng in the cave looked bored, and the injuries on the hound had been treated urgently. It's even sprayed with the latest biological wound adhesive, which even the U.S. military doesn't have much to offer.

It's a new spray that can be used on the battlefield. Two bottles, A bottle is used for wound debridement and disinfection. The B bottle directly stops bleeding and adheres to the wound. This is used in battlefield first aid, and it is simply a sharp weapon. This is especially true for massive bleeding and large wounds.

Fortunately, the bastard of the crow got some from somewhere and handed them over to Hou Dasheng. Unfortunately, there aren't many of these products either. There are only three sets in total. But for Hou Dasheng, this is already very good. There are three sets, which can save a lot of people.

That's how the hound survived, at least for now, though he's still in a deep coma. Now standing beside Hou Dasheng is the iron arm. Since returning to the team, the iron arm has been adjusted to Hou Dasheng's side. It was Hou Dasheng who went to talk to him personally. Iron Arm didn't refuse, because that's exactly what he wanted.

"At that time, the United States was just a colony on which the sun never set. But it didn't come to pass, but in the blink of an eye, more than 200 years of sunset before the afterglow was gone. On the contrary, the United States has gradually become the only superpower on this planet, and even the former suzerainty needs to look at his face and act ......"

The American Revolutionary War boasted to the outside world about how powerful it was. In fact, Hou Dasheng, who has seen many top-secret documents collected by jackals, service providers and investors, knows it very well. In that war, the United States was almost always the target of the beating......

Neither the headquarters of the British army nor the mercenary units that went to fight actually suffered many defeats. It's the United States, which is often beaten with a head rat. But after all, it is a cross-regional operation, and the consumption is extremely high. After a few years of fighting, the Sun Never Sets Empire felt that it was not cost-effective to continue fighting like this. The war finally stopped.

Of course, there are also service providers and investors. Why was the United States able to fight at that time?! The reason is very simple, they were backed by the French, who were very bad with England at the time. Even the magnificent Statue of Liberty was sent by the French.

In this matter, the French Meimei cheated England. But the French themselves did not operate it well, and the British gave up when they saw that the situation was not good. But the French invested too much, went into debt, and finally ran out of money and were directly overthrown by the capitalists. This is also known as the "Big GM".

In these matters, service providers and investors play certain roles that cannot be said. For example, in order to make both sides kill enough on the land of North America, both service providers have made support. Of course, none of this is free. In terms of mercenaries, service providers also earn a lot.

The reason why France invested so much even eventually led to bankruptcy and a change of court. It also has a lot to do with investors. Of course, the newborn America really thought that when the weather cleared and the rain stopped, he could do it again. This idea makes them determined to get rid of some control and expand their territory.

Then they made something that the whole of America was reluctant to talk about. A decision that even most people don't know very well: a declaration of war on Britain and the annexation of Canada.

Many people know the White House, but they don't know why this "White House" is called the "White House". The reason is actually quite simple: it was burned by the British. Or rather, it's not just the White House. Capitol Hill was also burned to the ground, and even Capitol Hill was the first to burn down.

The United States eventually relented, and the war ended. After fighting the war, Meili was completely out of money, and could not build another presidential residence, so she had to repair the old mansion to make do. But when it comes to repairing, what about those traces of fire? The president at the time, Monroe, ordered: all white paint!

Thus, the White House appeared. Capitol Hill was fine at the time, as the main building was not finished because it was under construction. Coupled with the heavy rain later, it was barely saved. What is more interesting to Hou Dasheng is that the fire was actually set by investors. The reason is simple, Merida intends to pay the bills.

Relying on investors' accounts is not a good habit. Therefore, the burning of this official residence and the burning of Capitol Hill are investors' response to their intention to repay their debts.

"Iron Arm, I heard that you have been attending military school since you were a child? Not enrolled in another school? Hou Dasheng turned his head and asked at the iron arm. It's too boring in here, everything that should be arranged is arranged. Hou Dasheng only needs to sit quietly and wait for the results now.

The Swiss did not leave any other exit for the fortification, which was apparently originally built to prevent attacks by other countries. When the Cold War came, it was repurposed to be a nuclear-capable underground bomb shelter. At a depth of tens of meters underground, it is possible to withstand at least one nuclear strike in the face of it.

Hou Dasheng has to admit that it is surprising that the Swiss are investing in this area. Maybe it's the sense of distress that the mercenary country passed down from the ancestors, or it may be the habitual prevention of small countries. All in all, the coverage of the nuclear shelters rebuilt by the Swiss during the Cold War reached a staggering 81%! Population coverage in shelters reached 114 per cent.

Even a special law adopted by the Swiss during the Cold War. It stipulates that local governments must provide shelter facilities to all residents. Another law, passed in the '60s, requires that all residential buildings built after 1978 must contain a shelter large enough to withstand the explosion of a 12-million-ton nuclear bomb at a distance of 700 meters.

Today, Switzerland has more than 300,000 private shelters and 5,100 public shelters with a population of only 8.1 million, offering more than 8.6 million shelters! The shelter where Hou Dasheng stayed was transformed from an underground military fortification. More comprehensive than other shelters.

It's just that the army is born from death to life. This is a military facility, not for the big people to flee. So there was no escape exit. From beginning to end, there is only one exit. If someone attacked them, Hou Dasheng and they would not be able to do anything other than fight back and kill a few more people from the other side to accompany the funeral.

"Yes, I have been in the cadet military school since I was a teenager. Then he was admitted to a military academy and a military university. Eventually entered service in the army. Iron Arm nodded and said in a low voice: "If the military age is counted from the time I went to the junior military academy, then I have more than twenty years." ”

In the United States, whenever school starts or holidays, you will see a very special sight: many childish faces, but they are wearing regular US military uniforms or even military uniforms with official military ranks. Carry your own military backpack and go from place to place.

These children all came from a kind of specialized school: the Junior Military Academy. Secondary education in the United States is one of the important nodes that distinguishes it from other countries. It's that they have a large number of private and public junior military schools! Part of it even received an appropriation from the Pentagon. The military ranks of its students are directly linked to those of the regular army.

If you think that these military schools are only partially reserved for military training. Then you couldn't be more wrong! For example, Iron Arm, he was sent to military school at the age of ten. And it was his father, a high-ranking military school personally selected.

There were fewer than 150 students at that school, and all of them were boys. After entering the school, the first thing is to shave your head uniformly. All bald, all uniform. All had to sort out the housekeeping, and then participate in military training according to age and grade.

The school, which has less than 150 students, covers an area of nearly 200 acres. A series of shooting ranges, high and low training grounds, fortresses, lakes, forests, and ...... were built in it and so on. These are all used for military training, without exception. At the same time, each military subject here has its own full-time instructor.

Physical training is thunderous every day, and wilderness survival is also taught from the beginning of Iron Arm's entry into the school. For example, how to find directions in the wild, how to obtain food, stop bleeding, and use items around you to make survival rescue tools...... And so on. They learn to shoot, learn to fight, learn military sign language, disassemble and assemble weapons...... Everything is not much different from the training of professional soldiers.

In addition to these, they certainly have the normal liberal arts and sciences that other similar schools must take. Even to a certain extent, the assessment is more rigorous and more demanding than that of similar schools. A considerable number of students in such schools go directly to higher-level military academies.

Of course, there is also a reason why the United States has such junior military schools. The main reason is that it hurts to be beaten back then. The United States was beaten very hard from the beginning, because it was the militia in the end. There are not many good fighters. As a result, they began to set up military academies to train their own professional military personnel.

And from a young age, this is the origin of the junior military school. For example, the junior military school that Iron Arm attended, which is an extremely traditional junior military school. It was founded almost at the same time as the founding of the United States. The relationship between the school and the Pentagon is also extremely close.

Even several instructors of Iron Arm during his time at the Junior Military Academy were transferred from the active military to serve in the school. Of course, the tuition fees of such schools are not cheap, and more importantly, they have extremely strict requirements for family background. One of the unwritten rules is that there must be an immediate family member serving in the military within three generations.

If there are more than one member of the immediate family within three generations who have served in the military, or are on active duty. Then the odds of passing will increase, and there will be a subsidy. Most of the students who graduate from there go on to higher military academies. Even to a certain extent, they have formed a military family.

Similarly, there is another country, Russia. There, being able to be admitted to a junior military academy is a matter of great pride for the family. And there, there are also many famous junior military schools. Some military schools are named after former Soviet Marshals during World War II.

At the opening ceremonies of some schools, you can even see the current Kremlin's defense chief appear.

"After staying in military school for so many years, it really doesn't seem like I can do anything other than become a professional soldier." Hou Dasheng smiled bitterly at the iron arm, and the latter spread his hand helplessly: "Who said it wasn't?!" My brothers, who went from junior military school to university, basically either became professional soldiers or engaged in military-related work. ”

After a pause, Iron Arm sighed: "Fortunately, we don't ban guns, and there are PMCs." Otherwise, so many people still don't know how to digest it. There are still a large number of retirements every year, and it is a big problem to resettle these people......"

Regarding this statement of the iron arm, Hou Dasheng agreed. In fact, this is already a very serious problem, and many of the homeless people in the United States have come from the military. After retiring from the army, he became a homeless man on the streets for various reasons.

Among these people, many of them have actual combat experience. This is how some of the peripheral members of the jackal were recruited. When these people are almost desperate for life, they don't care about picking up a gun and doing familiar things as long as they have a salary.

Those who can enter the jackals are top-notch. Even if it's a peripheral member. But many of those who were able to enter, only cannon fodder troops. Attached to a large PMC company, do some shady private work. On the battlefields of Africa, the Middle East, and South America, there are many such people and examples.

A few hundred dollars a day can make a cannon fodder team die. They are dead, and no one will remember them. No one even mentions them, as if they never appeared. No journalist writes about them, and there is no way to publish them.

The life of a low-level mercenary is like this, and there is no place to bury him if he dies in danger. Sometimes Hou Dasheng also sighs about his luck, and it is really his luck to enter the jackal. If he joined an ordinary cannon fodder team, maybe he wouldn't even survive for a month.

You might even get taken out with a backhand. Especially in war-torn areas of Africa, there are not too many nameless corpses. It would not be surprising who died there. There are not too many warlord leaders who are calling for each other today, and tomorrow their entire families will be shot and killed in the streets.

Hou Dasheng himself has personally killed many such warlord leaders, and he is very indifferent to these things. Staying on the battlefield for a long time, a problem arises for people. A problem that most people who have been on the battlefield for a long time do not realize themselves: reverence for life.

There are too many deaths made by one's own hands, and too many deaths are seen. The target, the enemy, those comrades-in-arms and brothers. When you go through these things repeatedly, you will gradually lose your reverence for life, whether you want to or not. When you lose the reverence for life, and at the same time have the ability to dispose of other people's lives.

People like Hou Dasheng and others will inevitably become unstable factors that pose a great threat to normal society. Maybe it was because someone scolded him, or maybe someone pushed him. Maybe it was just a thought on his mind. But as long as he moves this idea, then it may cause many casualties.

"Your comrades-in-arms, how many of them are still serving now?" Hou Dasheng asked Tie Jian with a little interest, and Tie Jian was silent for a moment before replying: "To be honest, I don't know. Some of them were transferred and went to some special units. There's no way they're going to tell me......"

saw Iron Arm bowing his head and said softly: "Some others were recruited by the intelligence department." At least a few of them are like this, and I didn't contact them. After all, I was affiliated with the Pentagon. It's just that while on a mission, I saw them next to those guys in the company......"

Hou Dasheng nodded, not surprised. Those graduates, there will definitely be people who will be assigned to work in the intelligence agencies. Hou Dasheng also believes that there will be many people who will not enter the front-line combat units but will be assigned to the Pentagon. As a directional training talent.

In addition to this, there are those who serve in missiles, artillery. There are even those that serve on warships, submarines. It is precisely because they have such a training mechanism as a junior military academy that it is basically impossible for the United States to have a shortage of soldiers. More often than not, they just need some cannon fodder.

Some people who want to get a U.S. green card can get a green card this way. In fact, this is also equivalent to mercenary methods in disguise.

To be honest, it's boring to be in a burrow. Because Hou Dasheng can't contact the outside world now. The only good thing here is temporary security. Unless the other party can get ground-penetrating missiles, then Hou Dasheng has nothing to say. Otherwise, they want to open up the blast doors and reinforced concrete along the way step by step.

It will take a long time to finally get in front of Hou Dasheng. Especially Hou Dasheng, they also laid a large number of tricks and mines and arranged a large number of traps along the way. They have plenty of time to do so. And hiding here, there is another problem that needs to be faced: what to do if the exit is blown down.

If the exit is blown up, then the only way to do this is to wait for someone outside to dig up the ventilation duct or exit to get them out. Fortunately, it was originally an underground fortification built in preparation for a nuclear war. Therefore, the storage room and drinking water cleaning equipment are not a problem.

For unknown reasons, the crows have stockpiled a large amount of supplies here. As soon as Hou Dasheng entered the core of the fortifications, he went to check the supplies. If there is no accident, these supplies are enough for Hou Dasheng and them to eat for half a year.

There is enough oil to drive the power and ventilation ducts of the entire core area for more than three months. Of course, if it really comes to that time, it will be useless for Hou Dasheng and them to go out. Because it really dragged on for more than a month, then it can only mean that the jackal no longer exists. No one will come and dig them out again.

"It's too late! Stop the fight and get all the C4s together and blow up that place! I want them to dig for at least two months! Figo's eyes were hideous, and he roared with red eyes: "After the bombing, everyone will retreat, and we will go back to Europe now!" Purge all the naysayers and come back here to take out the crows! ”

"Two months...... No! Even if it's only for a month, as long as the crow isn't there, we will be able to clean up the forces left behind by him!! ”
