Chapter 50: Lynn's resourcefulness
During the two days that Colonel Andriy was brewing the list, Lynn was not idle, he first used his lunch break to visit his old subordinates, and learned that Noah had been selected for the commando team of 100 people and had received orders to go to a closed centralized training. It didn't matter, he told Wolfrum, Tanze, Techmel, and Frederick to secretly learn English from Brewer - this old man said that because he had been doing business with his father in his early years, he could speak some English, Dutch, Danish, and Norwegian, but he had been fighting on the Eastern Front before, and he was not as "popular" as Vofrum, who only knew Russian.
The old subordinates came to recruit him, and no one questioned Lynn's arrangement. Next, Lynn began to vaccinate the rest of the list. Bosman, a fighting strongman in the ordinary officer class at the same time, has been serving in the base staff after graduation, and was not included in the list of 100 commandos this time, Lynn talked to him in private, this young officer has no lack of fighting spirit, courage, and courage, and vaguely shows that he is tired of the trivial work of junior staff officers. The failure of the commando team was due to his own speculation that the base staff was not optimistic about this operation. I heard that Rommel and his chief of staff both believed that killing the heads of state of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union at this time would not create large-scale chaos, but might expose the secrets of the bases, and would not help the empire accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, so they rejected any request from the Strategic Staff for a transfer. Hotham. Wither, a short officer with accurate archery skills and full of self-confidence, worked in the Gendarmerie Department, but did not understand English at all, and the possibility of being sent by the Gendarmerie to participate in American intelligence operations was very small, because he was not too familiar, Lynn only probed him a little, this German [***] officer with a somewhat similar figure to Napoleon had no doubt about the Empire's sincerity, he had a strong sense of self-motivation, but in the base, especially in the Gendarmerie Department, the room and potential for promotion were very limited.
In addition, Lynn also "revisited" and used his break to visit Wallrich in the barracks dormitory on the 4th floor, and the blonde second lieutenant was assigned to the 1st Marine Regiment along with Second Lieutenant Schusser, who had always sneered at Lynn. As a young officer with a very normal mentality, Wohlrich felt deep regret and frustration about the arrangement of staying in the logistics company of the Marine Corps, and complained that he did not work hard enough in the officer class, so that his overall grades were at the middle and lower level of the class. Although his characteristics are not distinctive, Lynn likes his down-to-earth and friendly attitude, and he can also speak some English, and he also has a lot of practical experience in combat.
Along the way, Lynn met with Motchig, who also served in the 1st Marine Regiment. As a staff officer of the headquarters of the "vampire" commando and an old subordinate of Bach, it seems strange that he did not enter the strategic staff, but looking at his current position, deputy chief of staff of the 1st Marine Regiment, it is easy to understand the painstaking efforts of high-level people.
"We're going far, Lynn!" Motchig's handsome smile was as usual, he had received the rank of major and the Knight's Cross at a young age, and he must have fascinated some young people in the enclosed base of this space.
This guy really already knew about the highly classified U.S. intelligence plan, and Lynn didn't think it was strange at this time, the big guys played chess, and Motchig was just a pawn like himself, but the difference was that he was a little higher in rank and had gained more trust, as for himself, he was just a small soldier crossing the river, barely having a little more expertise than ordinary officers of the same level.
"yes, a completely strange world, what do you suggest?"
"I don't know much about that people who don't have a history."
Motchig still handsomely picked up a cigarette, lit a match, and suddenly a familiar smell permeated the air.
"But...... Your commander of the operation, Bertreme, is a ruthless character, so you'd better be careful. Hopefully next time we'll have a chance to meet. ”
Lieutenant Colonel Bertrim was not a good stubble at first glance, and since Mottchig had kindly reminded him, Lynn took it to heart and said to him, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you back with the best gift!" ”
Motchig patted Lynn's left arm in a friendly way: "Have a nice trip!" ”
If you want to say a good ride to Lynn, it's obviously not just Motchig, Night, Lorentz. Sergeant Burches, Bach's personal aide-de-camp, knocked on Lynn's door, but instead of entering the room, he led him to the corner of the corridor and handed him a small black flannel bag: "This is what the general meant, and he also asked me to bring you a sentence: dare to think, dare to act, dare to take responsibility is the real hero." ”
At first hearing this, Lynn was confused. When he returned to his room and sat alone on the toilet in the bathroom, he carefully opened the flannel bag, and the crystal clear, dazzling small particles in it made his heart beat a rare - isn't the whole bag of diamonds a "prop" that only appears in movies?
Spread out the towel on the sink, pour out these valuable small particles and count, 24, less than the first look, but this also means that the volume of each one is not small, and they are all finished products that have been cut and processed, and I pinched one and looked at the lamp, thinking that when I first entered the society, I heard that the important criterion for the marriage of many new women with the surname of Xinshida is the carat of the diamond ring, so that Lynn, who is almost poor and white, even feels that he can't get married for the rest of his life. Time did not prove it, but threw him to this unique era to taste a war like no other.
Although he didn't know much about the current price of diamonds, Lynn roughly estimated that this small bag would not be exchanged for $500,000, but it was already a considerable fortune. It is said that he is such a small person, Bach does not need to please himself at all, as for appreciation, Lynn still adheres to his consistent view: appreciation cannot be eaten, let alone become a life-saving charm at a critical moment. The logical explanation is that Bach's real relationship with Andriy is by no means as close and cordial as it seems, and that Andri, who now only holds the rank of colonel and the post of chief of intelligence, may only lack an opportunity to make a lasting difference. As for Lieutenant Colonel Bertrane, the main commander of this US intelligence operation, Akari was Andri's man at first glance, and the fact that he was able to obtain the post of deputy commander of the operation without prior activity was probably a choice made by Bach in order to achieve some kind of checks and balances - even if he did not explicitly say it, this bag of valuable diamonds is the best language.
In a calm and active waiting, Andri's call finally arrived, Lynn walked to the intelligence officer's office with his head held high but with a little apprehension, this is his second "battle of wits and courage" after the No. 3 restaurant "tea party", if Andri can fully see through his mind, he will definitely give himself a card that is not embarrassed, not embarrassing, not painful, if not...... "Oh, Lynn, please come in!" ”
Andriy greeted Lynn warmly this time, and the orderly was prepared, and as soon as he was seated, he brought a steaming cup of coffee, with sugar and milk. After tasting it, Lynn suddenly had a wonderful feeling: it seemed that all the service personnel in the base knew their preference for coffee.
Coffee and cigars are just as good as good hospitality, and Andri's next words have been expected by Lynn: "I have good news and bad news here!" ”
Lynn likes Andri's coffee and his cigars, and he sits in his chair with a calm expression waiting to listen.
"I've done my best to coordinate and that's the end result, at least...... Guaranteed the number of 8 people you asked for! ”
With that, Andriy placed a typed piece of paper paper in front of Lynn. Despite the intelligence officer's bitter tone, Lynn knew that it was actually a choice he had made after weighing the pros and cons. Although the "final result" can still be adjusted, there is not much room for negotiation, so before picking up this piece of paper, Lynn still took a light breath, hoping that he could win the dark battle before departure.
The list is neatly lined with eight names and their basic information, and the neat lead lettering can easily remind Football Manager obsessed with the complicated player information on a computer screen.
Buschman. Handmark, Major, good at command, combat, fighting, shooting, English (basic), 37 years old, blond brown hair, 184cm tall.
Gulf. Diglio, Captain (Gendarmerie), good at mechanical, explosives, Danish (fluent), 29 years old, blonde hair, 179cm tall.
Frank. Boseman, second lieutenant, good at fighting, fighting, Dutch (fluent), 25 years old, tan hair, 182cm tall.
Hotham. Wither, second lieutenant (gendarmerie), good at shooting, vigilance, French (fluent), 27 years old, black hair, height 166cm.
Alston. Feck, sergeant, good at shooting, climbing, snow, Norwegian (fluent), Finnish (fluent), English (general), 31 years old, brown hair, height 173cm.
Brewer. Bruno, Corporal, good at shooting, night fighting, explosives, languages, English (Normal), Dutch (Normal), Danish (Basic), Norwegian (Basic), 26 years old, taupe hair, height 176cm.
Max. Tan Ze, alternate non-commissioned officer, good at sniping, night combat, English (basic), 17 years old, blond brown hair, height 177cm.
Cal. Titchmel, Private 1st Class, good at shooting, night fighting, English (basic), 16 years old, blonde hair, 176cm tall.
The "absence" of Wolfrum and Frederick in this list of eight is regrettable, but Lynn expected from the beginning that Colonel Andriy would never let himself take all six of his subordinates who had entered the "Vault" with him. Now it's three out of six. Brewer's reservation was undoubtedly what Lynn wanted to see the most, not only because of his cleverness, but also because of his family atmosphere and extraordinary ambitions, making him the only helper who could make Lynn have high hopes in non-combat. Therefore, Lynn deliberately listed Brewer first in the first row in the previous "8+8" list, especially noting that he has excellent language skills. It is beneficial to both public and private, and Andriy did "sell" his face in the end.
Major Handmark is undoubtedly the most eye-catching figure in this team of 8 people, and his almost all-round quality and long-term military experience have improved the overall strength of the team at once. This time he went to the United States, Colonel Bertreme served as the main commander, so Handmark's rank of major was not considered a "super-level" existence, but because Lynn had been appointed as the deputy commander of the operation in advance, and it was witnessed by Goebbels and Bach, even if Handmark was assigned a position in the team, he still had to honestly accept Lynn's command in specific operations. In this way, Lynn's position is equivalent to a low-level hero in the game who completes a difficult mission and thus obtains a high-level class. Of course, Andriy would not have kindly added such a strongman to Lynn, but wanted Major Handmark to form a counterweight to him in terms of rank. Because of this, Lynn's original "8+8" list put Handmark last, deliberately making people feel that this was the most forced choice.
Diglio, Lynn's "Danish fellow", is only the second-to-last on the "8+8" list, although he doesn't speak very seriously, but he does have some real skills in mechanics and explosives, and he can serve as a logistics officer in Bach's "Vampire" commando headquarters and be responsible for security work in the Strategic Staff, and his background position will not be too simple. In some small things, Lynn can rest assured that this fellow can really encounter big things, and he can also use his relationship with Bach to restrain Bertram and provide some convenience for his own strategy. Of course, this is also a double-edged sword that needs to be used carefully.
Boseman and Wither had been at the base for about the same time, and through the assignment when they graduated like ordinary officers, Lynn judged that they were either civilians with no background or "pawns" with very complex backgrounds - throwing a master of martial arts to become a staff officer, and letting a sharp shooter hang a "dog tag" as a gendarme, such an arrangement did not give full play to his strengths, and the reason why the superior would do such an obvious trick was that someone interfered with it and changed the good position they should have obtained, As a result, only poor civilians would honestly accept such an arrangement, or they have a deeply buried intention, and being selected for the intelligence team will make the trip to the United States more full of internal variables.
The remaining two young soldiers, Tanze and Techmel, are not powerful demons, but they are truly trusted assistants to Lynn. At first glance, the young age of the two seems to be unsuitable for intelligence missions, but Lynn feels that the more young and immature faces they are, the less likely they are to arouse the suspicion of the people around them. All that needs to be done now is for them to improve their speaking skills in American English as quickly as possible, at least to be able to pretend to be pitiful and ask their uncles and aunts key questions such as paths.
