Chapter 9: Mistakes Are Mistakes (2)

A Grizzly Tank was moving at normal speed, heading from the side of the bridge to the second Allied base outpost, where the Allied outpost was not sounding the war alarm.

"The situation is very good," I said on the radio, "and it looks like the enemy has not yet realized that the first base has been breached." As long as we stay calm, we should be able to blend in. ”

"But what are we going to do?" Vanka, who was sitting on the commander's seat, asked me nervously (I heard that Vanka, who had majored in tank command, had a record of destroying 86 Allied tanks in the Lebanese-Israeli conflict without being wounded). Now it's back to my old job), "I don't speak English well. I also heard that the Pentagon has ......"

"I know. At the military security checkpoint near the Pentagon, there is a key card identification system, and officers and soldiers must swipe the card to pass," I replied absentmindedly, looking at my computer. If it's two months later, when they install the identification system, I really can't do anything. ”

"Now ......," Vanka asked tentatively. My answer was to take out four key cards from my pocket and shake them in front of their eyes.

"Remember the English sentences I just taught you, and don't get the order wrong," I said, "and don't call my name out of order." My name is not Sophia, I am a clerk in the logistics unit of the US military, Corporal Britney. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Vanka gave me a solemn salute, and then, like a child who had done something wrong, he quickly withdrew his hand in fright, causing the other soldiers to laugh for a long time.

"Don't be in a hurry to laugh," I interrupted them a little annoyed, "if I had been an Allied Sentinel just now, you would have gotten it out. Don't be too restrained, try to forget about the military rules and discipline of the coalition forces, and look casual. If you are as serious as the Germans during World War II, the American devils will be able to see through you in minutes. ”

As he spoke, the Grizzly Tank had officially stopped. And on the computer monitor, a soldier who looked like a Slav lazily saluted us and shouted: "It's a time of martial law, please show your pass." ”

"Forget it......" I sighed helplessly as I looked at a group of serious (or nervous) guys, "Wait a minute...... You ask for sex to speak, let me speak. ”

That being said, I was actually shaking with nervousness. When Vanka got out of the way so I could get out, my legs seemed to take root, and cold sweat kept pouring out of my head and palms.

Asked a second time, the sentry outside seemed a little impatient. I replied, "I'll be coming," and opened the turret roof and went out.

Jumping out of the tank, the first thing that caught my eye was the blue and white Allied flag! The white bald eagle spreads its wings and stands in the middle of the blue background, almost suffocating me. Even in the tank, the air mixed with diesel volatilization and a little exhaust is much cleaner than outside.

But now that ...... It's out of the way, and it's impossible to rely on a Grizzly Bear tank, and you have to go all the way through.

For some reason, as I handed the keycard to the sentry, I was reminded of the "terrorists" who attacked the Allied outposts during the Allied invasion of Syria and Lebanon. How did they overcome the fear of a strong enemy in their hearts, and face this group of allied devils with a mortal determination?

I can't figure it out, and I don't quite want to think about it. Because I don't want to die, I'm going to live to complete the mission.

A veteran looked at the keycards one by one, then looked at me and casually asked, "There are four of you?" ”

"Yes," I said, smiling at him with a slight smile, "three young men over there, the drivers of the tanks. ”

To the right of the security checkpoint, someone whistled happily. I ignored them, and the whistling one was taunted by his companion.

"Well, wait a minute. You know, I've been here for 10 years to watch the gates for this group of bureaucrats. I thought that fighting for the country was the business of the boys in Algeria and India. I didn't expect it to fall on our heads. The veteran said, casually throwing his ID back. A recruit who was still reading Playboy magazine hurriedly caught it and returned to the sentry to swipe his card.

"I didn't expect that," I said to the veteran with the sweet smile expected of an American civil servant, "that the Red Guy is so disgusting that even when someone wants to watch an ESPN after work, they will be interrupted by Lomanov's declaration of war speech." ”

"Hey! Don't be so nervous! The whistling sentry just now made point-of-tice at the recruit, "It's not General Angstone who asked you to get a key card for the Hilton Hotel." ”

General Angstone is the current Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Pacific Theater and the "Supreme Adviser to Japan's National Defense." There is not a single person in the Far Allied military countries who does not know him, because the name of this guy is almost synonymous with "rapist". During his tenure, a record number of American GIs escaped trial for crimes committed with "extrajudicial immunity." But because General Kaveli was still a second lieutenant in the war of aggression against China, he followed Kaveli, and his position is still as stable as Mount Tai.

It's disgusting. But after thinking about it, I changed my smile and put on a "respectful and distancing" attitude, and said to the Allied GI: "You have a point, I will apply to the American elite to transfer you to South Korea to protect the liberal bridgehead in the Far East." ”

The joke immediately elicited even greater laughter; Even the stern veteran laughed alongside him now; On the contrary, I felt a trace of serious embarrassment when I saw their heartless appearance.

These guys...... Is there no shame?

The recruits are finally busy with the verification work. He hurried here, saluted us with a Soviet commissar who would definitely break his arm, and said, "There is no problem with the password card, you can let it go."

I took the passcard. However, a "wait" voice sounded, startling me.

Damn it...... In addition to the trouble at the last moment. But on second thought, I saluted the visitor and shouted, "Hello, Captain." ”

The man known as "The Captain" gave me a disdainful look with a beer belly and eyes like dead fish, and his eyes straightened instantly.

"Anyway, ma'am...... Oh no corporal, which part are you? He asked, "I don't seem to remember, but we were transferred." ”

"These three lads are from the 37th Garrison Battalion, and have just received an order to return to the Pentagon," I said as calmly as I could, explaining to the captain, "and I was hitchhiking." ”

"Is your name Britney?" The captain asked.

"Yes, sir." I replied. Is this fat man finished? It's annoying!

"Wait...... I feel that you are a bit like a Slav. The captain's words almost startled me. But the way he stared at me, I immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes," it was torture for me to wear stilettos on my feet. But I still took the catwalk as far as I could, slowly approaching the captain, my chest almost rubbing against his chest, "My mother was a Bulgarian nobleman, but I was born in the United States, and I have always loved cooking and freedom...... Are you satisfied with this answer? Mr. Captain? ”

As I spoke, I pulled out two hundred-dollar bills and quietly slipped them into the captain's pocket. The latter's face, which was still full of interest just now, changed abruptly at this moment, and he quickly regained his smile.

"Okay," the captain reluctantly looked away from my chest, "didn't ask......

Before he could finish speaking, a violent explosion came from the tent next to the sentry. This was followed by a dazzling light of fire and the miserable cries of Allied soldiers.

Those sentinels were at a loss. Someone shouted "Air raid!" Immediately they scattered again, and in an instant only an empty outpost remained.

"Give me back!" At this critical moment, I grabbed the captain by the collar and whispered in his ear: "You have courage. Take my bribes and take advantage of me? Even if I promised, the Soviets would not agree! ”

When he heard "Soviet", the captain's eyes suddenly widened into a big light bulb, and he shouted incoherently: "You! You're ......"

The sharp dagger plunged into the fat pig's back, and his wide eyes gradually lost their due brilliance. I left him behind without hesitation, and at the same time took off my heels and climbed back into the tank through the top cover of the tank's turret.

"How's it going, Comrade Correspondent, it feels good on your first date, right?" Vanka wasted no time in making a very "American" joke.

"Don't laugh," I declared solemnly, "things have changed, it's better for us, and drive into the airport at once." You are responsible for destroying the resistance at the airport, I'll go to the airport tower! Also, don't forget to hang the Coalition logo on the top cover! lest the madmen of Villademo injure their allies by mistake. ”
