Chapter 607: Back to Aleppo
A few days later, one morning, at about nine o'clock, the narrator said. In a mountain village southeast of Leah Aleppo, Lang Zhan, who arrived in an off-road vehicle, met Mathis. Bayi?? Chinese???.? 8?1(8)Z?(a).? C(8)O(8)M?The old man saw that Lang Zhan was very enthusiastic, and opened his arms to Lang Zhan with a smile. Lang Zhan looked at him, did not put down his tactical bag to greet him, but said very politely: "President Mathis, meet again." ”
Mathis withdrew his arm a little curtly, and said to a middle-aged man in a suit and glasses next to him, "Mr. Gray, he is Gabriel, the rising star of our federation. Then, he introduced to Lang Zhan: "Gabriel, come and get acquainted, this is Mr. Gray of the OSCE, who is currently in charge of the OSCE's military projects. If nothing else, he will be in direct command of you for some time to come. ”
Lang Zhan nodded at Gray, the two shook hands reservedly, and Gray said, "I have admired the name for a long time, I didn't expect you to be so young." ”
Mathis and Gray led Lang Zhan inside, and after entering a seven-room, three-story building, Gray introduced Lang Zhan to the people in the hall.
There were more than a dozen people in the hall, all dressed in camouflage uniforms, with pistols stuck in their waists or on the outside of their thighs. After Lang Zhan intersected with their eyes, he knew in his heart that these people were all serious soldiers.
Among the dozen people, there was a thirty-year-old named Chico who looked at Lang Zhan with a very unfriendly look, Lang Zhan paid special attention to it, and when his gaze swept over, he retracted his gaze and didn't pay attention to it.
Lang Zhan spent about an hour working out some details with Mathis and Gray, and then went to meet with his three captains under the leadership of a female captain named Kelly.
Although the OSCE is not yet nominally an official organization, it is quite well organized. The military organization under its umbrella has a total of five special operations brigades, the first special operations group is standing and stationed at the headquarters; The other four have only the framework of the brigade headquarters, and they will be temporarily conscripted and concluded when needed. Because of the threat posed by the Holy Army, the OSCE decided to temporarily assemble the second, third, and fourth special operations groups, of which the third special operations group is a front-line force, and after completing the assembly and training, it will be put into the battlefield as soon as possible.
The three captains under Lang Zhan, one of whom was from the country, was named Matthias. Matthias was about thirty years old, not tall, and the cold stars flashed in his eyes, and he knew at a glance that he had been on the battlefield and had seen blood on his hands. The other was a man from Enamel, named Karonchi, who was a black man. Karonchi should be around twenty-four or five years old, Lang Zhan noticed that there was a not very conspicuous scar on his left cheek, and noticed that his left eyeball was a little strange, he looked intently, and saw a clear projection of his figure inside, he thought about it, and secretly thought: This eye of Karonchi should be the same as Mathis's, it belongs to science and technology, right? The remaining one is West. Banya people, when he introduced himself, he said that everyone called him an old ghost, and let Lang Zhan call him that. The old ghost is the oldest of the three captains, he should be forty years old, and seeing that his face is covered with frost and calluses on the back of his hands, he should also be a veteran of the battlefield.
After Kelly led Lang Zhan to the old ghosts, he went to make tea and coffee for everyone. If nothing else, during her time in Syria, she will become Lang Zhan's secretary, adjutant, herald, and take charge of Lang Zhan's daily affairs. When Kelly was busy, after Lang Zhan and the old ghost reported to each other's homes, Karonchi asked Lang Zhan angrily: "Sir, I heard that when you were in the Ryukyus, you killed two or three thousand people by yourself, as well as the people of the United States and the people of Hubei?" This shouldn't be true, right? ”
Lang Zhan saw that Matthias and the old ghost were looking at him, and asked quietly, "Do you hope it is true or false?" ”
"Of course, I hope it is true, on the battlefield, we would rather follow a butcher than a philanthropist. Although the reputation of a philanthropist is good, and there is no need to worry about being sold by him, it is difficult to win the battle. ”
"Gabriel, let me ask you, are you really only twenty years old this year?" Matthias asked.
Lang Zhan looked at him and nodded.
Matthias looked him up and down, left and right, and said, "I can't see it." ”
Lang Zhan: "I don't think it matters. ”
The old ghost smiled and said, "Of course, on the battlefield, being able to kill people and lead your subordinates to win the battle is the key, as for age, who cares?" ”
The next day, Lang Zhan met his soldiers. The Third Special Operations Brigade was one hundred and eight people at full strength, and when Lang Zhan heard this set of numbers, he couldn't help but think of the word "Water Margin". The establishment of the 3rd Special Operations Brigade is as follows: 17 people in the brigade headquarters, including Lang Zhan, a staff team of five people, and some junior officers in charge of various miscellaneous items; Below the brigade headquarters, each squadron has 31 people, and each squadron has four seven-member combat teams, and the other two are considered assistants to the squadron leader, who are also responsible for various miscellaneous tasks. In the case of dissatisfaction, there are a total of eleven people in the brigade headquarters, four staff officers, and then six "miscellaneous" for Kelly. The squadrons below are all composed of three combat groups, and the assistants of the old ghost and others are complete.
One hundred and ten people stood together, and all of them were fully armed, and the senses were quite shocking. Kelly wanted to go up to introduce Lang Zhan, Lang Zhan called her to stop, walked forward, stood facing everyone, glanced at everyone, and said unhurriedly: "In Xia Gabriel, a Chinese national, the new captain of the Third Special Operations Group, I hope that in the future, we can get along happily." ”
Lang Zhan has not been active in the West for a long time, but thanks to the live broadcast of the "Battle of the Ryukyus", nine out of ten of his soldiers know him. Seeing him on the TV and the computer and seeing him up close are completely two feelings, although many people stand straight, but their eyes are staring at him without blinking, that posture, I wish I could dissect him to see what material he is made of.
Lang Zhan killed two or three thousand people in one battle, at least for the moment, this is a miracle that is impossible to replicate. From Lang Zhan's point of view, he was just performing his duties and wanted to protect the Ryukyus for the boundless. But in the eyes of others, he is clearly the reincarnation of the killing god, and how vicious his heart must be, like a butcher, can he kill people like pigs, killing thousands of people without blinking an eye.
Lang Zhan was looked up and down left and right by nearly a hundred pairs of eyes, and he didn't feel any discomfort. In the presence of Mathis, he signed a contract with Gray for at least three months of service with the OSCE. After three months, if the "Holy Army" crisis cannot be resolved, then the OSCE will have to agree to extend the contract for a maximum of three months, after the OSCE has shown sufficient sincerity. Because of this contract, that is, Lang Zhan will have to stay with Matthias and them for at least three months. Three months is not a short time, and there may be enough stories to be born during that time.
Lang Zhan let everyone look at him for two or three minutes, and asked, "Have you seen enough?" ”
When everyone was asked by him, they seemed to remember his reputation for killing people without blinking, straightened their waists in unison, adjusted the focus of their eyes, and threw them on his face.
Lang Zhan glanced at everyone again and said, "I don't know how you joined the Third Special Operations Group, what I want to say is that whether you can stay or not depends on whether you meet my conditions." At one o'clock in the afternoon, we gathered at playground three. By the way, a friendly reminder, you had better not eat too much for lunch. ”
The contract stipulates the tasks that need to be completed in stages of Lang Zhan, such as the number of enemies to be destroyed, and the number of tasks to be completed in a battle cycle. Correspondingly, Lang Zhan has the right to recommend the appointment and dismissal of three squadron leaders, and if he feels that Matthias and others are not competent, he can directly submit a proposal to Gray for appointment and dismissal, and ask Gray to replace Matthias and others. The contract stipulated that Lang Zhan only had the right to recommend the appointment and dismissal of the three squadron leaders, but it did not restrict the selection of his subordinate soldiers. In order to accomplish the tasks stipulated in the contract, Lang Zhan may, according to the actual situation and without deviating from the original intention of the OSCE, set assessment standards for the skills, tactics, and physical fitness of the soldiers, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Third Special Operations Group.
According to Kelly, although this rank of major has not been recognized by other countries in the world, if Lang Zhan has the opportunity to join the peacekeeping forces under the banner of the United Nations, or the overseas mercenary group of the country of Enamel, then with this rank of major can be automatically promoted to two levels and enjoy the treatment of colonel.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lang Zhan appeared on time at the No. 3 playground, at this time, the third special operations group had already arrived, and the three squadron leaders, including several civilian officers of the brigade headquarters, were all dressed in camouflage uniforms and were ready to accept Lang Zhan's assessment.
Matthias and the others were so knowledgeable about current affairs that Lang Zhan's face had a little warmth. As the supreme commander of a combat unit, what is the most fearful of the situation? What I am most afraid of is that the middle-level officers below will not cooperate, so that his instructions and operational thinking cannot be carried out. In that case, he will be able to elevate these middle-level officers, but he will have to personally grasp everything, which will not only be worrying about his efficiency, but will also make others question his ability.
"You're going to take the test too?" Lang Zhan asked Matthias and the three.
"Yes."
"Good."
A few seconds later, after Kelly reported to Lang Zhan that all the members of the third team had been assembled, Lang Zhan asked her to return to the line, then glanced at everyone, and pointed to Bi Quelin, who had just commanded his subordinates to set up the shooting equipment, and said, "Gentlemen, do you know this beautiful young lady?" Bi Quelin, the head of the Ryukyu Special Task Force for the live broadcast of the "Battle of the Ryukyus". I am very grateful to Miss Bicqueline for fulfilling me. If it weren't for her and her staff, I think you would have recognized me as soon as you saw me, and you wouldn't have talked about me as a 'butcher' when you talk about me in private...... I don't care why you came to the third team, what I can tell you responsibly is that if you want to become famous, I will give you a chance......"
