Lebanon.

It is located on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea in southwest Asia, bordered by Syria to the east and north, Palestine and Israel to the south, and the Mediterranean Sea to the west.

This country is the only Western-style country in the Arab world, and the adherents of Islam and Christians are almost evenly divided.

Since the day the country was founded, there have been frequent conflicts for a variety of reasons, but the root cause cannot be separated from one factor: the multiplicity of parties.

Front for the Future, Lebanese Falangist, Movement of Amal, Social Progressive Party, Syrian National Socialist Party, etc.

Because of the dispersion of forces, no single party now has an absolute advantage, and the consequence of this situation is that there is often chaos.

This, coupled with the war in neighboring Syria, has made the country even more volatile.

The Iron Lion has a base in Lebanon, which is only five or six kilometers away from the camp of the Chinese peacekeepers.

After all, as an Iron Lion security company, they don't have much background, and a lot of work here is to share the pressure of the Huaxia peacekeeping force.

In fact, there is another way to understand it, that is, to have a good relationship with the Chinese peacekeepers here, and you can always find some work.

When Xiao Zhan came here, he was assigned to the third squad of the Warrior Squadron.

It is said that it is a squadron, but in fact, it is not up to the number of full squadrons in the army, and there are only about 40 people in total.

The forty or so people were divided into six squads, each with six or seven people, and lived in the same dormitory, just like the classes in the army.

The entire squadron of warriors is only a little more than a platoon, and the clothes and equipment are relatively chaotic.

Some of them wore the combat uniforms of the armed police force, some wore American-style combat uniforms, and some wore the training uniforms of conventional troops.

As for the equipment, it is basically an AK rifle, and the sniper rifle is also a Type 85 sniper rifle that has been in service with the domestic army for many years.

Oh yes, it can't be called 85, it should be SVD.

The sniper rifles equipped by the Warrior squadron are all SVD, and it can be said that almost all of them are Russian-style equipment.

The equipment is very backward, but this is also no way, the Warrior Squadron has the lightest functional tasks, and their equipment is the worst.

Although the equipment is relatively poor, it is sufficient to cope with the usual patrol and security tasks.

"Here comes a new brother! Ha ha. A strong man walked in with a Shandong accent.

He put down the gun casually, and before he could remove the body armor on his body, he walked over to Xiao Zhan enthusiastically and stretched out his right hand in a friendly manner.

"My name is Dong Biao, and I am the squad leader of our third class, haha. Brothers, where are the people? What is your name? What unit did you serve in? ”

Dong Biao's personality is relatively straightforward, giving people a feeling of self-familiarity, but this kind of self-familiarity is not annoying at all, but the heart is kind.

"Xiao Sheng, a native of Huaihai, used to serve in the army." Xiao Zhan said with a smile: "Squad Leader Dong, I will be here with you in the future, if there is anything wrong, you can say it, just say hello." ”

"Hey, they're all your own brothers, why are you talking so much?" Dong Biao patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder: "Brother Xiao Sheng, don't be a squad leader or a squad leader, everyone is the same here, and it is not as clear as in the army." ”

Just then, the other members of the class walked in.

"Brothers, this is a new brother, his name is Xiao Sheng." Dong Biao introduced: "This thin one is called a monkey, this one with big eyes is called Erha, this one is called a big one, and this one who looks quite handsome is called a young master, haha......"

Everyone has a nickname, which is necessary, and if a fight is fought, no one will call their real name, all with nicknames instead.

In other words, a nickname is also a code name, just like Xiao Zhan is called the Führer.

"Brother Xiao Sheng, hello."

"I can drink two more drinks tonight, thanks to the blessings of the Xiao Sheng brothers, haha."

“……”

Several people laughed, giving a very good fit and very rustic feeling.

"What to drink? There's still a mission tomorrow morning! Dong Biao's eyes widened and he said: "You are not allowed to drink more at night, two taels of liquor, two bottles of beer, the old rules." When the task is over, I will take care of the Xiao Sheng brothers. ”

"Hahaha...... This is good, as long as you can drink a little! ”

"Squad leader, you got the green onions you wanted, they are quite fresh, take two bites?"

"Earlier...... Hey, Xiao Sheng, I ask you to gnaw on the green onions, the green onions in our hometown are all white and have no leaves, and the mouth is full of sweetness when you bite into it. ”

“……”

Unfamiliar environment, strange people, but under this strangeness, Xiao Zhan quickly integrated into it, because these people were all from the army, and they had the coolness of the army.

Besides, it is indeed not easy for Huaxia to organize such a security company, and everyone is uprooted from their hometowns and tied their heads to their belts to make some money.

In this kind of place, who knows when they will encounter a battle and die in a foreign land.

They are somewhere between mercenaries and security guards, they are all stabbing blood for a living, and they all know how important it is to treat the people around them well.

That night, Xiao Zhan also drank two taels of liquor, and the people in the class chatted happily together.

After everyone fell asleep, Xiao Zhan walked to the simple training ground alone and conducted equipment training.

He pulls the horizontal bar, and the movement he does is the most basic pull-up, which is called the horizontal bar exercise in the army.

If it was in the past, he could pull fifty without breathing, but now he can't even pull one.

No matter how hard he tried, he hung motionless on it like a dead fish.

The muscles simply couldn't support the strength of the whole body, and they kept shaking, as if all the muscle tissue was dead.

Xiao Zhan let go of his hand and got off the horizontal bar, kneading his muscles hard, his eyes showing a thick unwillingness.

Instead of his muscles dying, his muscle fibers were hit hard and showed a sluggishness, resulting in an inability to exert force.

This is not the same as muscle atrophy, if it is muscle atrophy, it will never recover, but there is still a possibility of recovery in this case.

Just how can it be recovered? Even Hou Xiaolan didn't know this, and she tried all kinds of methods to no avail.

In the end, there are two conclusions: one is to get more rest; One is to exercise more.

This is the real ambiguity, because no one knows how to recover from this situation.

But Xiao Zhan firmly believes that he can definitely recover, because his road is not finished, and no matter how difficult it is, he has to go...... No, someone else goes, he can climb!

Once, twice, three times, four times...... When it was almost dawn, Xiao Zhan still didn't succeed in pulling out a pull-up.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the whole class gathered and drove to the camp in a jeep.

"Brothers, our mission this time is to transport the medicine on the truck to the refugee camp 60 kilometers away. On this stretch of road, there are at least three armed forces. We have also dealt with these armed forces, so there should be no big problems. Dong Biao said loudly.

This is a small task, but also a daily task, and it will be carried out once every three or five times, and it will be familiar with the road.

"Squad leader, are we doing mercenary work?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"Hehe, it can be understood like this." Dong Biao took a cigarette in his mouth and grinned: "For the people here, we are mercenaries, so let's do it with a belt, treat us as mercenaries!" ”

Mercenary, a spurned profession, and a profession full of imagination.

From now on, Xiao Zhan is a mercenary at the lowest level.
