At night, the sea seems to be asleep, and it seems deeper and more dreamy. The gentle breeze of the sea brought the salty smell of the sea, and the sound of the waves hitting the waves was like a lullaby, soothing the full moon and stars reflected in the water.

The moving cargo ship, trying its best to hide its breathing, did not seem to dare to alarm the quiet and beautiful night.

On the empty deck, two people were whispering, their voices hidden in the darkness.

"Alas—it's our turn to sentry again, it's really damn."

"Eh, Yang Fan, what does this situation remind you of?"

Yang Fan yawned and said sleepily, "I remembered to sleep." ”

Zhao Jie glanced at the other party, "Didn't you just wake up!" Can you make a difference? ”

"According to the normal routine of human beings for thousands of years, it should be working during the day and resting at night, and if the day and night are reversed, it is easy to die suddenly."

"I'll go, how can you not be afraid of sudden death after fighting for a few days and nights in order to be a king?"

"Oh, let's not talk about the past, let's happily skip the subject."

"By the way, do you remember why we were punished for standing up the night before the college entrance examination?"

"How can you not remember, if it weren't for your stupid shouting that you want to be the number one swordsman, we wouldn't have been used by the butcher to open the knife."

Zhao Jie's eyes were deep and radiant, "I feel that we are finally starting to set sail, and the door of the world is beckoning to us." ”

"In the middle of the night, what emotions do you express?" Yang Fan looked at the other party's high-spirited appearance and said lazily.

"This is our first mission, and it is also our first step, isn't there a fire burning in your heart?" After speaking, Zhao Jie swung two punches into the air, as if the enemy was in front of him.

"Calm down, don't get so excited, it's still far from the waters of Somalia."

In the distance, ripples rippled on the calm water, and a fish suddenly jumped out of the water, as if gilded with a layer of silver light in the moonlight; Immediately afterwards, more and more fish scrambled to jump first, drawing arcs in mid-air.

They inadvertently break the quiet of the night.

"It's hard to say, the safer it is, maybe there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere. You see, those insignificant little fish, who would have thought that they would be the spoilers of the night. ”

"Brother, you think too much, you have time to worry about this and that, it's better to sleep well, recharge your energy, and when the danger really comes, you can still ......"

Zhao Jie vigilantly observed the movements around him, and suddenly found that the person talking next to him stopped talking, turned his head to look, and he slapped it, "You dog thief, open your eyes." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yang Fan yawned again and replied casually, he looked at the endless sea and remembered what happened a few days ago.

Zhi Gorilla pointed to the map on the screen and explained the next task arrangement, and sitting below were several people led by Captain Yuan Dafei, namely Yang Fan, Zhao Jie, Huang Zichen, and Li Jiong, four special forces who had just turned into a regular soldier.

It was their first time out on a mission.

"In the Somali region, which is part of the Revolutionary Republic, the rebel army has been rampant for more than a decade, which has led to a constant state of tension in the region, on the one hand, because of the weakness of the local government forces, and on the other hand, because of the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the Free Federation, which makes it impossible to solve the problem fundamentally."

"The conflict between the Republics and the Kingdom of the Franks became a new fuse and once again ignited the dispute in the Somali region. On the occasion of the visit of the commander of the government army to our country, the rebels are carrying out a large-scale military mobilization and are ready to seize power. ”

"Your mission is to escort the commander of the Somali region safely to his territory."

The few people below nodded frequently and looked solemn, and they all realized the importance of this task.

"What is the specific escort plan?" Yuan Dafei raised his hand and asked.

"This escort will take the sea route."

"Why? Isn't piracy rampant near the Somali region? Yang Fan asked puzzledly, although he usually doesn't care much about the news, if even he knows about this matter, it means that the problem of piracy has long been serious enough that everyone knows about it.

"Yes, it's rampant, but it's the safest way for now, and it's the commander's own decision."

The orangutan paced slowly, and according to the intelligence of the scouts in front, he learned that the other routes were closely monitored by the rebels, and could launch a sneak attack at any time. Relatively speaking, no traces of the enemy's activities have been detected on the sea routes, but it cannot be ruled out that this is a trick used by the enemy.

It's a game.

"We respect the decisions of the parties. Although pirates are often seen in the nearby waters, based on past experience, these people are mainly for money, and as long as the tolls are in place, they will not be too much of a hindrance. ”

"Really?" Yang Fan muttered, still thinking that this way was inappropriate, but he didn't say it.

"This is an ordinary cargo ship, the main personnel on board include your five special forces, and a platoon of thirty naval soldiers, and the rest is the Somali State Commander and his escort team."

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

Zhao Jie stood up and asked solemnly, "What should I do if I encounter an attack?" ”

"If," the gorilla paused for a moment, "if there is an attack and it cannot be resolved peacefully, whether it is a pirate or a rebel army, on the premise of ensuring the safety of the commander, all of them will be wiped out." ”

His words revealed a resolute murderous aura, which made several special forces present couldn't help but be surprised, these people looked at each other, and determined the authenticity of this order from each other's eyes, as long as there was an accident, it would be a duel to the death.

"When are you leaving?" Yuan Dafei asked.

"Tomorrow."

So, early the next morning, they set out on their journey.

This is the third day of their voyage, and there is still about a day to go from Somali State.

"Ahem......"

An intermittent coughing sound came from the cabin, interrupting Yang Fan's memories.

"Someone is coming out." Zhao Jie stared around the corner and said softly.

Yang Fan also heard the sound of walking, "Who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, and still runs out to join in the fun." ”

What appeared in the field of vision of the two people was a middle-aged man, with yellow-brown skin and slightly curly hair, his figure was not particularly tall, but standing there could give people a sense of majesty and leadership.

It was the commander of the Somali region, whom they had seen in the photo before they left.

In the past few days, it has been as if he and his escort had evaporated from the world, no matter day or night, they had never appeared on the deck, eating, drinking, and Lazar were all carried out in the cabin, and the secret work was very well done.

However, at this moment, the commander walked out alone.

Yang Fan and Zhao Jie hurriedly got up, saluted each other, and expressed their greetings in the way of soldiers.

The commander's tense face gradually relaxed, and he made a gesture lightly and said in fluent Chinese: "Don't be restrained. ”

In today's era, Chinese, like English, has become the common language in the world, especially in many parts of the Republic, where Chinese is learned as a second mother tongue.

"You're out to keep watch, thank you for your hard work." The commander walked towards the two and bowed slightly in thanks.

"Commander, you ......" Zhao Jie panicked for a moment, stammering and speechless.

"Here, I'm just an ordinary person, just call me Yárvis."

"Isn't that good......?"

"That's good, trust me." The commander repeated again.

Yang Fan grabbed the conversation, casually found a topic and said, "Then, Yalvis, you are insomnia, right?" ”

"Well, I can't sleep, I want to come out to breathe, I haven't breathed such fresh air for several days."

The commander put his hands on the guardrail, looked ahead in the distance, and seemed to say to himself: "Perhaps, there will be no chance to breathe such pure air in the future." ”

"How come, the air is ......" Zhao Jie pulled Yang Fan's clothes, and only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing and immediately shut up.

"It's a blessing to be able to breathe such fresh air every day, right? What do you think? ”

The commander's words seemed to float from afar, with a little ethereal vicissitudes, for his questioning, the two of them chose to be silent, it was a wise decision to remain silent at this time, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

"It was a place where there was constant war, the color of the sky was dim, the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, there were more soldiers on the road than ordinary people, people couldn't eat enough, they couldn't sleep well, and no one knew which day they would leave this world, because of a bullet, because of a bomb, because of the endless war ......"

"For outsiders, it is hard to imagine that a place has maintained the same war for more than ten years, with corpses, broken limbs, blood, endless killings, we all say, this is a corner abandoned by God, destined to suffer all the disasters of the world......"

"According to the news from the country in the past few days, the rebels have begun to operate, although it is only a small-scale conflict, but it has also caused a lot of casualties, I can't do anything at this critical time, it's ridiculous, right......"

Yang Fan stepped forward, put his arm on the commander's shoulder, did not speak, but used his actions to give strength to the other party.

"Thank you, young man."

"Hope, in every tomorrow. Until the last moment, we can't afford to give up chasing hope. ”

Zhao Jie also walked over, "Everything will be better, we believe in you." ”

The military commander laughed out loud, and he held his head high and said, "Indeed, if even I don't believe in myself, how can I make others believe in me? I lost my temper just now, I'm sorry. ”

Yang Fan spread his hands and said a little helplessly: "Is there one?" I've forgotten what you just said. ”

"I don't seem to have any impressions, I guess the moon in the sky is very round, right? Like a big watermelon? Zhao Jie agreed.

"Hahahaha—indeed."

"Mingyue is here, come have some wine?"

"Isn't that good?"

The commander waved his right hand, full of pride, "!" ”
