Bering Strait.

The Bering Strait is a waterway between the Chukotka Peninsula of the Russian Federation and the Suward Peninsula of Alaska in the United States, connecting the Chukotka Sea with the Bering Sea. It is the only route connecting the Pacific Ocean with the Arctic Ocean, and it is also the only place where Russia's northern sea route connects its coastal ports in Europe and Asia.

The climate in the strait is very cold, with a minimum temperature of minus 43 in January. 8C, the average temperature in July is 5C. The water temperature is 4~8C in August, and the ice thickness is 1 from October to June of the following year. 2～1。 5 meters, it can be navigated normally in August and September, but there is still ice floe on the sea.

From the perspective of geopolitics in the Western Pacific, there are two opposing forces: the power of China and the power of the United States, Japan and Taiwan.

It is an extremely important strategic location, connecting Asia, Europe and the Americas with the shortest shipping routes. Once the Arctic shipping route is opened, it will promote a super Arctic economic circle with Russia, North America, and Western Europe as the main body, and then affect the economic and geopolitical pattern of the entire world.

There are many islands in the strait, all of which are basically in a dormant stage. But the dormancy will not last long, and sooner or later, these islands will wake up with the passage of the Arctic shipping lanes, and one after another will be developed and become economic and military strategic locations.

Xiao Yuanchao and Reddy rented a boat and headed north into the Bering Strait. The Multinational Shared Intelligence Office did not know about their actions, and Xiao Yuanchao did not plan to inform the Intelligence Department of their actions.

In a way, he had to cover Reddy. Even if it is exposed, it will have to wait until Angelina is rescued.

It is an island with an extreme northern climate, and the entire island is covered with primeval forests. The highest point of the island is a snow-capped mountain that, when viewed from a distance, resembles the sacred mountain of some pilgrims, without a trace of impurities.

The sea around the island was frozen, and in the absence of ice-breaking tools, Xiao Yuanchao and Reddy walked onto the island on the ice.

"Whew......" Reddy, dressed in a polar suit, let out a sigh.

The breath exhaled, and when it encountered the cold air, it turned into a white mist, and then floated to his face, causing his eyelashes to instantly rise a layer of white frost.

Cold, very cold, in such a cold place, people can't even stretch out their hands, even guns can freeze.

Xiao Yuanchao was also dressed in a polar suit, carrying a rifle on his back, holding a ski stick in his right hand, and stepping on the ice with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Xiao Yuanchao, in fact, I don't approve of you coming, because there are dangers in it that you can't imagine. If it's too late to turn back, here'......"

"What else are you talking about when you've arrived?" Xiao Yuanchao moved the goggles on his face, looked at the island not far away, and said to Reddy: "I only hope you didn't bring me to the wrong place, otherwise this will be your grave." ”

This is the most unsuitable climate conditions for combat, even if Xiao Yuanchao has been trained in this environment.

The only acceptable training in the snow and ice is to reach the area around Changbai Mountain, which has a mild climate compared to the region. He lacked the experience of such a far-north environment, even if he was prepared.

The rifle on the back is covered with cold-proof gun oil, which is enough to resist the severe cold of minus forty or fifty degrees. However, Xiao Yuanchao could not guarantee that the gun would not explode when he fired, and based on the consideration of this environment, the PM sniper rifle he brought was disassembled and packed in a box and carried in a bag.

"Brother, before entering the island, I need to advise you one more thing." Reddy stopped, looked at Xiao Yuanchao with a complicated face, and said, "If you can, you won't go, really, I won't hurt you." ”

Reddy said this kind of thing almost all the way, persuading Xiao Yuanchao not to come. But how could Xiao Yuanchao not come, he had to rescue Angelina, he had to get the core information from Angelina, and he had to give full play to the role of his chess piece.

"Reddy, nothing scares me. You know, I used to be a professional soldier in China, and a professional soldier in China has a motto. Xiao Yuanchao also stopped and took out an energy bar.

"Oh? What motto? Reddy asked.

"If you are a soldier, you must die." Xiao Yuanchao spat out his unique motto and bit the energy bar.

Hearing this, Reddy's complicated eyes became even more complicated, and she wanted to say something, but she wanted to say something.

"How?" Xiao Yuanchao asked.

He could already see that Reddy's face was abnormal, from the moment he set off. It's as if this island is full of devils, and all of them are devouring devils.

As long as a living person steps in, there will be no bones left to be devoured.

"If my guess is correct, this motto is not common to the best people, but to your unit, right?" Reddy stared into Xiao Yuanchao's eyes and said softly, "It's very perverted, it's very powerful, it's very kind." Xiao, I now think that you may be able to fight with them, but not you, but your unit. ”

"Oh, really?" Xiao Yuanchao stared into Reddy's eyes and slowly chewed on the energy bar.

"Perhaps...... Well, from now on, I won't advise you anymore, but you have to remember that everything that advises you is for your own good. Reddy seemed to have made a decision.

"I believe you're doing it for my good." Xiao Yuanchao said lightly.

"You believe it?" Reddy was stunned.

"Yes, I believe it." Xiao Yuanchao said affirmatively: "Although you are hiding a lot of things, although your **** behavior makes me look down on you, I think you are not bad." ”

"I'm just ......" Reddy said with a self-deprecating smile on her face, "I'm just too short of a brother......"

The self-deprecating smile was full of lonely loneliness, and it was hard to imagine that such an expression would appear on Reddy's face.

Everyone has their own story, and everyone has everyone's unspeakable secrets. Xiao Yuanchao will not break Reddy's unspeakable secret, concealment is not the same as deception, sometimes it may not be a good thing to conceal something.

The two walked side by side on the island, struggling to walk through knee-high snow.

Snow is everywhere, and evergreen coniferous forests are full of tenacious vitality. Occasionally, snow falls from the trees, and other than that, the whole world is silent.

There was no trace of life, not even a bouncing squirrel. This is a dead island, although it looks extremely beautiful, but unfortunately it is transparent and has a touch of gloom.

"Detour." Reddy stopped abruptly, pointed to the high ground protruding from the northeast, and said, "That's a cluster of machine-gun bunkers. ”

Looking in the direction of Reddy's finger, Xiao Yuanchao struggled to distinguish the patches of high ground that protruded from under the snow.

It's machine-gun bunkers, that's right, densely packed, all machine-gun bunkers.

"There's a machine-gun bunker, here's a minefield." Reddy pointed to the direction where he was about to detour, "There are machine gun bunkers in front of the minefield, this is the Devil's Land!" ”

The land of the devil, the territory of the devil. All the territory is full of devils, and the devil is invincible to man.

Terrifying and mysterious, powerful and terrifying.
