Chapter 62: Retirement

After returning to the camp in Ukraine, Su Bai contacted his parents by satellite phone. After confirming that they were okay, he was completely relieved.

After assuring them that he would take Laura and them back as soon as possible, Su Bai hung up the phone and then called Crawford Manor.

The three girls made nervous inquiries on the phone, and only after confirming that he was unscathed several times did they let him go. Then he immediately began to ask him when he would return.

Su Bai promised again, saying that he would return to the UK tomorrow at the latest.

The three girls still wanted to pick him up, but Su Bai was planning to return to the UK on a military plane with Captain Price, Gates and others, and the place where the plane landed was a military airport isolated by the military, and the idlers and others couldn't approach it at all.

They gave up and agreed to wait for him to return home at Crawford Manor.

Su Bai hung up the phone, and a voice came from the side.

"On the phone with your girlfriend?"

He turned his head and saw Thorpe coming from the side and teased: "The three girlfriends take turns to interrogate, it must be difficult to pass, right?" ”

Su Bai shrugged his shoulders and retorted unceremoniously: "That's also better than you, a single dog who doesn't have a girlfriend." ”

Thorpe froze for a moment, and his complexion instantly became extremely exciting.

"You wait, I must find a big beautiful girlfriend when I go back this time!" He gritted his teeth and said indignantly.

Su Bai scoffed: "I'm sorry, no matter how much you look for it, you can't find a better girlfriend than mine." And I have three. ”

He held out three fingers: "It's three, three." ”

“Fuck!” Thorpe couldn't help but scream, "This world is so unfair. Why are you, a Chinese, able to soak away our English countess! ”

"Maybe it's because I'm so good." Su Bai spread his hands helplessly.

"you." Thorpe laughed out loud and slapped him lightly on the shoulder, "You know that this sentence will make every British man want to punch you in the face?" ”

Su Bai said lightly: "Then you have to have someone in Britain who can beat me." ”

Thorpe was choked: "You really don't look like a Chinese person." ”

Su Bai suddenly rolled his eyes: "So what kind of misunderstanding do you have about us Huaxia people?" ”

"Don't you all like to be humble?" Thorpe said, "Okay, let's not talk about that. ”

"I was about to ask, what happened to Gates and the Ghost?" Su Bai also changed the topic and asked.

"The doctor checked and they were fine, just suffering a little from flesh and skin. As long as you go back to London to recuperate for a while, you'll be fine. "That's thankful." ”

"That's good." Su Bai nodded, and asked again, "What about Captain Price?" ”

Hearing this, Thorpe was silent for a while, and said in a low mood: "The doctor said that he may have to retire from the front-line battlefield." The injuries he suffered are now difficult to heal, and it is easy for them to recur and even be life-threatening during high-intensity training and combat. ”

Hearing this, Su Bai also fell silent.

At this time, he suddenly remembered what Captain Price said to General Sheffield when he was evacuating before.

Perhaps he had realized that his injuries might no longer allow him to perform his current duties, and that was to recommend Thorpe to General Sheffield as Field Commander of Task Force 141 after his departure.

Thinking of this, Su Bai sighed a little.

In the game, Captain Price is ultimately the only survivor. Gates, Thorpe, Qiang, and Ghost all died in the battle, and he was the only one who survived.

Unexpectedly, now because of himself, everyone else is fine, but Captain Price has to retire due to injury.

But maybe that's a good thing.

Su Bai patted Thorpe on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Captain Price." After so many years of struggle on the front line and so many dangerous missions, it is time to enjoy life. While dying on the battlefield may seem like a glorious ending for a warrior, it is too unfair for that warrior. ”

"You're probably right." Thorpe smiled bitterly.

Su Bai smiled and said, "It's you, you have to be ready." ”

"What preparation?" Thorpe was stunned.

"Succeeding Captain Price as Field Commander of 141, of course." Su Bai said with a smile.

"Me?" Thorpe shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible, Gates should take over as commander." He's a better fit than me. ”

"Boy, be confident." Su Bai pinched Thorpe's shoulder, "Captain Price is very optimistic about you." Can't you see that he had already made clear to General Sheffield that he wanted you to take his place. I don't think General Sheffield would have rejected his recommendation. ”

"I ......" Thorpe opened his mouth, speechless.

"Alright, don't think about it." Su Bai said, "Let's go and see how Captain Price is." ”

Thorpe nodded.

The two then rushed to the recuperation room in the camp.

Captain Price, dressed in a hospital gown with a white bandage on his head, was flipping through a book.

"You don't see much like this." Su Bai smiled and said, "It's a pity that I don't have a camera, otherwise I would have taken a picture of you now." ”

Captain Price glanced at Su Bai and said, "I'm suddenly worried now, if you stay in 141 all the time, maybe you will bring all the boys under me badly." Especially my successor. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Su Bai said with a smile, "Because I'm leaving soon." I'm not a professional soldier like you, and your slamming government won't even pay me. ”

"You have a billionaire girlfriend, do you still lack that money?" Thorpe interjected.

"It's different." Su Bai said.

"Anyway, I have to thank you, Sue." At this time, Captain Price's expression was solemn, and he said, "Thank you for helping us, helping Task Force 141." ”

"Your boss has already told me that." Su Bai said, "Besides, with our relationship, it will be a matter of time to say so." ”

After a pause, he looked at Captain Price and said, "Listen to Thorpe, you're retiring?" ”

"yes." Captain Price sighed, "The doctor said I wasn't fit for this job. ”

As he spoke, he muttered, "This is an unexpected ending, I always thought I would continue to work in this line of work until one day I died in one mission." As a result, he is now out of the game early. ”

"That's fine." Su Bai said, "It looks good to die in the middle of a mission, but wouldn't it be better to be able to get out of the way and enjoy life?" ”
