Chapter 168: The Man Who Went to the Country (I)

Although the old man with white hair kept saying that the submarine could only provide the simplest food for Tang Guoming and the others, in just ten minutes, a huge medical kit had been placed in front of Tang Guoming and the others. And after Tang Guoming and Bao Lei had just re-treated their wounds, several middle-aged strong men who were as strong as rocks also sent some food to Tang Guoming and the others.

The old man with white hair reached out and picked up a huge cup full of vodka, and nodded towards Tang Guoming, who was slowly sitting down in front of him: "Ivan! ”

Also grabbing a huge cup full of vodka, Tang Guoming raised his glass and nodded to the old man with white hair in return: "Tang! ”

Taking a big sip of vodka, Ivan reached out and grabbed a piece of black bread and tore it open, dug out a large ball of caviar from a can of black caviar that exuded a faint fishy smell, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it: "Soldier? I mean...... Professional soldiers? ”

Nodding calmly, Tang Guoming just took a shallow sip of the vodka in the cup: "You too?" ”

Twisting up a pickled cucumber, Ivan grinned and stuffed the whole sour cucumber into his gaping mouth: "No...... It's just an old eel hiding at the bottom of the sea, not daring to show its head. ”

Looking at the dense scars on Ivan's chest, Tang Guoming raised the wine glass in his hand again: "For your bravery!" ”

Ignoring Tang Guoming's toasting action, Ivan just ate and drank to himself. However, in just a few minutes, a large glass of vodka had been drunk, and then he exhaled a strong smell of alcohol and shouted at Tang Guoming: "When you went to the Nikolai training camp for the Hajj, how many young men were there?" ”

Tang Guoming shook his head slightly: "Maybe it's because winter is coming, the young men who are training there...... Not too much. ”

With a cold snort, Ivan grabbed the bottle and poured himself another large glass of vodka, and then took the glass and drank it to himself, muttering in Russian......

Sitting beside Tang Guoming, Fu Xiaofei saw that Ivan was like drinking water, drinking a large glass of vodka again in just a few minutes, and his mouth was also babbling to himself, and he couldn't help but ask curiously in Chinese: "Chief, what is the situation of the Nikolai training camp you are talking about?" As soon as he said this, he ......"

Sighing slightly, Tang Guoming interrupted Fu Xiaofei's words in a low voice: "Another person who went to the country......"

As soon as he heard Tang Guoming's 'people who go to the country', Fu Xiaofei's face suddenly showed a look of understanding.

Before the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the huge Soviet Union set up a large number of paramilitary or semi-military facilities throughout the country based on the military concept formed by competing with the United States for world hegemony. And among them, there are a large number of military training camps for teenagers.

Most of the first teenagers who were trained in military training camps for teenagers were orphans of martyrs whose parents died in the Great Patriotic War. Loyalty to the country and worship of the heroic deeds of their parents made these teenagers trained in the youth military training camp burst out with great enthusiasm, and they were proud to take the initiative to endure the hellish rigors of training, and even more so that they could join the army and serve the country after completing their studies.

There is no doubt that groups of young people who have walked out of the training camp have become fresh blood in the Soviet army after World War II, and have passed on the courage and loyalty of Soviet soldiers. After that, more teenagers who came out of the training camp also became the backbone of the Soviet army.

But in just a dozen years, the head of the city changed the banner of the king. The original Soviet Union was divided into many different countries. Under the baton that politicians frantically waved for their own interests, the original close comrades-in-arms became enemies of life and death overnight. The original coordinated operation and the integration of air and sea have become each with its own strengths, but each has its own fatal shortcomings.

After that, it is the arrival of the economic winter......

The extreme scarcity of people's biological resources, the destructive plundering of economic oligarchs and politicians, and the economic environment of the former Soviet Union, which was difficult to return, forced civilians who could still survive to experience the old scarcity of living materials during the Second World War.

For a bite of bread, ancestral furniture and porcelain, antiques that were once collected as hobbies, and even military medals obtained after bloody battles have become goods for sale. If there is no such thing, the man will start to sell violence, and the woman will ...... It's even more miserable.

If this is the case for the people, the life of the army will be even more difficult. The meat supply on the table went from once a day to once every two days, and then to once every five days. When the soldiers in the barracks began to have enough to eat, the arms that were originally used to defend the country naturally flowed into the black market.

At first, the rank-level soldiers tried to sell some of the bullets that they had secretly hidden during training. After receiving a small benefit, soldiers close to the fighting zone began to sell their automatic rifles and grenades, as well as some rocket launchers. Some soldiers even colluded to sell all the weapons and ammunition connected by the armored car to their opponents during a routine patrol in an armored vehicle, and when they returned to the camp, they unanimously claimed that they had been attacked and all their weapons and equipment were damaged!

Naturally, before the soldiers began these small actions, the officers in high positions had already begun to do the same.

Large quantities of individual equipment, a variety of heavily armed vehicles and ships that have just been unsealed, and even those nuclear weapons that can make people smell and change color, have become commodities that can be exchanged for benefits for those high-ranking officers.

In troubled times, human life is like grass, not to mention how the fate of ordinary soldiers will drift with the tide.

Those soldiers who have been trained in youth military training camps since childhood do not know how to survive in the world outside the barracks. After being forced to leave the barracks for various reasons, these professional soldiers who could only fight had to become mercenaries fighting for money in order to fill their stomachs.

There is no motherland to serve allegiance, no homeland to protect, no honor and faith, everything is just to fill the stomach, to get the money that can make me and my family live a little more decent......

Countless excellent professional soldiers began to become confused. Although they are still good at the battlefield, why they fight has become a gap in their hearts that they can't cross, turning real warriors into war dogs who seek profit and bite!
