Chapter 66: The Black Dog
“…… Yesterday, the European Theater Military Tribunal handed down its verdict on the accidental attack that occurred in the Southern Alps Theater seven days ago, and sniper Jackson Durand was acquitted of accidentally shooting a member of the Cosmos Force's Frontline Observation Group while on night duty, and called for an artillery strike...... News link: The survey concluded that 30% of the soldiers of the Space Army joined the army because of their handsome uniforms, and 67% of the public thought that the green army uniforms were 'not good-looking'. ”
- "Alliance Weekend"
***
It is rare to have such a sunny day in the southern foothills of the Alps in winter, and the reflection of the brilliant sunlight through the thick snow makes the whole forest full of abnormal brightness, and without goggles, the whole world in the field of vision is as dazzling as an old-fashioned display that has been turned on to the maximum brightness.
A few white mountain hares stepped on dense footprints, surrounded a spruce, and gnibbled on its bark, and could not find the twigs and young leaves they liked in the harsh winter, and just after the heavy snowfall, the hungry mountain hares could only barely fill their stomachs with the outer skin of dry and hard coniferous trees.
Suddenly, a rabbit that had been intently gnawing on the bark of the tree raised its head, and then several others also prick up their ears vigilantly, and a second later, the group of rabbits scattered in all directions, and these little creatures that were gray in summer and white in winter quickly disappeared into the woods in their protective colors.
Then, a line of figures slid down the hillside.
"Linya, be careful of hitting the tree."
Rogan lifted his hand to hold his goggles, and then radioed Guò to alert the little girl who was constantly walking around the trees on her snowboard.
"Whoa—"
The girl named selectively ignored Logan's reminder and growled excitedly while continuing the game of bypassing a tree with every bend.
"It's okay, anyway, if you TF, you can't die." Ling Yu curled up, his knees twisting regularly, following Logan's snowboard out of the slope, glancing at the number in the lower right corner of the goggles, now their speed was close to one hundred and ninety kilometers per hour.
Jiesi, who followed Ling Yu, was walking on her own snow trail, and she controlled the size of the bend precisely, not wasting extra body like Linya.
"Mr. Green, can you still keep up?" Jesse turned her head and looked at the last person behind her.
"No problem, it's really a TF, this speed is almost the limit of our human beings, the Olympic champion is only 220 kilometers per hour, or on the special snow track, fortunately I have learned to ski since I was a child, otherwise I may not be able to keep up with you."
Green spoke slowly, apparently distracting from the discussion, and any distraction at this rate would be fatal for the average person.
So Jess didn't speak again, just looked at Ling Yu and Logan in front of the left, and glanced at Linya who was continuing to play slalom in front of the right, and breathed a sigh of relief.
On the third day of the camp, Colonel Chino finally managed to get them to Milan, and as the middleman was the cheerful old Uncle Green, who first changed into the prepared ACA military uniforms, and then disguised themselves as an ACA mountain squad that had completed the patrol and change of guards, and infiltrated the mountain town of Alanya Valcesia, where there would be a transportation arranged by the "big guys" who connected with them.
Han Fei, on the other hand, did not join this team, but took the DNA camouflage system that he had prepared in advance and snatched from the Academy of Sciences, and went directly to take the cable car.
If Ling Yu knew that Han Fei had been evaluated by Anderson as "one of the best candidates for spies", he might not be too surprised, after all, the gap between spies and agents is as big as that of two branches of the military, agents are good at sabotage, and spies must be so inconspicuous that no one knows that he has ever been the best.
"It's almost there." Linya's shout brought Ling Yu back to his senses, he looked up to check the map, and then followed Logan to slide out a big bend to slow down, theoretically, a skilled TF could complete a 3000-meter downhill in 2 minutes, but in order to find a suitable slope, they had to make a big circle.
The ten-minute ski trip almost stumped Ling Yu, who had never skied before, but fortunately there were no problems with the overclocking and TF's super reaction, Logan didn't ski much but at least had a good experience, and the two rider girls from Iceland clearly enjoyed the downhill.
"Roar~~~~" Linya found a natural jump, and without hesitation, she changed her direction, and the high-speed snowboard crossed the jump, and the girl in white completed a difficult somersault, and then landed steadily on the sideboard.
The second one to stop sideways was Logan, Ling Yu and Jiesi came one after another, while Old Green slid to the other side, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort to stop.
"This is it," Ling Yu stuck his ski pole in the snow, lowered his head and used his gaze to unlock the bolt on the sled's connecting foot, "Alanya-Valcesia." ”
"Hmm." Jesse nodded, and also unslid the skid, while Linya, who was one step ahead, had already unzipped the winter suit, revealing a black ACA officer uniform.
The equipment was buried, and these small things were also useful to the guerrillas, so someone would be sent to collect them in the middle of the night.
"Let's go." A few minutes later, Ling Yu glanced at the five people standing in the snow in black uniforms, and fastened a large-brimmed hat to his head.
"Blackskin." Logan, who was wearing a big cap, shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Jesse behind him, "But the boat-shaped hat is quite suitable for you." ”
"Thank you." The mechanical girl smiles every day.

"Hey, long time no see, Brother Green."
"Hello, Mr. Morris."
Alanya Valcesia is barely a small town in size, and this historic resort town experienced a period of silence in the early days of the war as large numbers of residents fled, but those who fled from villages further north became its owners, and the town's mayor, Maurice, dressed in a traditional Italian suit, was one of the few natives.
"I won't say hello to delay the time," shaking hands with Green, Morris cleared his throat, "The things you want are ready, the money is according to the previous price, there are a few things that have not been obtained, I hope Boss Chino will understand, it has been in the limelight recently." ”
Ling Yu looked at the mayor of the town in front of him - he had heard that this Morris was a guerrilla sympathizer before he came, but such a blatant mention of "Boss Chino" still made Ling Yu frown - the commander of the Italian Free Army, Chino Servetu, was a wanted criminal in the ACA, although the bounty was not as high as his own, but there were more than one million.
"These are the friends you mentioned, right, hello." Morris naturally didn't know Ling Yu's belly, he bowed to the other four people and said hello, then walked to the table next to him and picked up a metal box, "This is the DNA information you want, just don't put it on your chest, you can fool all the automatic verification equipment." ”
Ling Yu looked at the ACA badge handed over by Morris, and his brows tightened a little again.
"I can tell you're not locals, but I have the advantage of being a person, I just don't like to ask too much." Morris smiled slightly, "You can see your doubts, why is there such a thing, right?" In fact, it is very simple, even in the ACA military, there are some people who don't want the eye of unity to be too wide, such as a highly decorated general's DNA information being captured by an instrument at the door of a ** house, which is a very embarrassing thing. ”
"It seems that you have more 'power' than I thought" Ling Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, looking at Morris, "It's worth a lot, huh?" ”
"There is water of all kinds of money." Logan stroked his short blonde hair, then pinned the brooch to his chest, "But if the buyer dies of thirst, the seller will starve to death." ”
"I promise it's a great collaboration for both parties, and if you don't believe it, you can ask Boss Chino." Morris touched his Mediterranean head with a self-deprecating expression, "It's better to be young." ”
"Thank you, Maurice." Green ended the conversation, "The car is ready." ”
"Ready, I've checked, I can't put the biggest customer in town at risk." Morris reached into his pocket and pulled out a bunch of keys, "It's still an old piece of oil, but the performance is fine." ”
"The big one...... Still in the old place? ”
"No," Maurice shook his head, unconsciously stern, "this time in the top box of Giacomo. ”
Morris hesitated, looked sideways at the guard at the door, then leaned down and whispered to Green, "I don't know why that black-skinned dog suddenly changed places, but it shouldn't matter, I heard that a big man with the Eye of Unity is coming here in a few days, so all sides are preparing to greet him." ”
"Understood, I'll be careful, the boss's goods will bother you to put them in the old place." Green nodded, then straightened up, "Then I'll take my leave." ”
"Have a nice trip." Morris nodded.

"It seems that the conditions of the guerrillas are much better than we thought."
It was more than a two-hour drive from the town to Milan, and the black car was speeding along the river valley road, the snow-white Alps were gradually left behind, and the number of checkpoints was gradually becoming scarce.
"Oh? How so? Old Green held the steering wheel, this action was actually only psychological comfort, and now the whole car is under the control of automatic navigation.
"It should be some necessities of life, and weapons are probably not good, but it seems that the main pillar industry of Alanya Valcesia is trade with the guerrillas." Ling Yu, who was sitting in the assistant's seat, still habitually put his hands on the car door and propped his head, "It seems that he is very harmonious with the guerrillas." ”
"Just take what you need." Uncle Green smiled bitterly, "The town has not always supported the guerrillas, the ACA has always been a ration system, the farther away from a big city like Milan, the stricter the ration will be deducted and exploited, and in winter, the townspeople who can't survive must find a way to 'make extra money', so they hit it off with the guerrillas." ”
"I'm amazed that the ACA would tolerate such a thing." Jess, who was sitting in the middle, pouted, given that Linya didn't want to sit with Logan alive or dead, Jess's little angel could only act as a human flesh baffle in the middle of the back row.
"Most of the second-line troops of the ACA are mixed food, their combat effectiveness is not high, and they have not received special training in mountain combat, so they need a forward base, and the town is the best choice, especially in winter, the soldiers have climbed the snowy mountains for a day, if they can buy hot meals, beds and even ** from the townspeople, it will greatly help morale." Green had a complicated expression that resembled a wry smile, "And it also gives the townspeople a job and a source of income, if the guerrillas are exterminated, there will be no troops coming to this hellish place, and the townspeople will have to go back to the rationing system." ”
"So there's a tacit peace in the town." Logan finally opened his mouth and concluded, "Both sides need a town like this. ”
"But soon it won't work, we can all think of it, ACA can't think of it?" Green exhaled, "Every year at the beginning of spring is the most difficult day for the guerrillas, last year our personnel and equipment were more than twice as good as now, and we almost didn't survive, when the ACA got serious...... These towns won't give us support. ”
"Speaking of which, most of these second-line troops are native Italians." Curious baby Linya asked again, "Are they going to fight you to the death?" ”
"There has been no Italy for a long time," Green's eyes were full of loneliness, "after so many years of fighting, even the most enthusiastic young people in the guerrillas understand that Italy is long gone, but everyone doesn't say it, and now there are only the League and the ACA." ”
"It's just that Colonel Chino said it well, and his words are also the reason why I stayed." There was a brief silence in the car, and Green continued, "He said, 'It's just that before we think about Italy, we're going to get the ACA out of our land, whatever it's called, it's our home.'" ”
"I'm kind of fond of Colonel Chino." Linya smiled softly, but a little sadly.
"I have a question that I want you to answer, related to this operation."
Just when Jeunse looked at Linya and didn't know what to say, Ling Yu suddenly asked sternly.
"What?" Green turned his head, "We don't have anything to hide. ”
"I want to know what's going on with your 'C' plan, Marca Secosta, and the 'Flying Foxes' team."
Ling Yu's voice was as cold as the frost on the car window.
