This walk, but it was a full two-hour drive, and finally through the vast fields and hills, and finally drove into a wooded and steep mountainous area, exuding greenery, and many kinds of trees growing on the surrounding peaks, but unfortunately most of them could not be named, only a few of them were recognized as coniferous forests.

The average temperature in Tennessee is higher than that of New York, which is further north, and even in good weather, it is still hot at noon. The two of them were silent all the way, strictly following the confidentiality regulations, until Zhang Yang, in a drowsiness, noticed that the car had suddenly slowed down, and then opened his eyes vigilantly, and found that he had arrived at a military base hidden deep in the mountains.

There are several iron gates at the entrance, which cut off the view from the outside, and many sharpened wooden stakes are placed in the middle of the doorway, sacks filled with dirt are piled up to form a bunker in the shape of a city wall, and there is a team of armed American GIs, guarding here 24 hours a day.

"Please show your pass!"

The perimeter is separated by a long barbed wire fence, and it is connected to high-voltage electricity, and anyone who tries to sneak in will have their palms cut open by the electricity. Moreover, there are observation posts at intervals on the barbed wire fence, which seems to be very strictly managed, and the driver in charge of picking up Zhang Yang took out a pass to verify his identity before Zhang Yang was allowed to enter the base.

"You'll get used to it, the pass is the only way to get in and out of most people, and if anyone dares to break in, the guards will kill the intruder."

Pete explained in a low voice, and his unfazed eyes saw the two behemoths hidden behind the iron door. Those were two huge dark green tanks!

The two tanks were of relatively normal size, but enough to suppress the situation that would have been suffered by the entrance, and the thick barrels were always aimed at the doorway. It only takes a single shell to tear the intruder's fragile flesh to shreds, and unless the enemy also comes in with a tank, it will be difficult to get in.

Zhang Yang just rightly concealed his astonishment, making himself as indifferent as possible. As the car went deeper, Zhang Yang realized that the area of this military base was very wide, surrounded by mountains like Wolong. Firmly encircled the base, it can be said that it is a typical easy to defend and difficult to attack, except that it is easily accessible from the air.

The car passed through a training ground. Zhang Yang saw that many American GIs were divided into squads according to the squad and were conducting some simple military training. And it won't be long before he becomes one of the instructors who train these GIs. When the car stopped, a man named Pete took Zhang Yang to an office. All right. Zhang Yang said that he was no stranger to the gray-haired white old man in front of him who was squinting at him.

"Hello, Colonel Philimples, Captain Zhang Yang reports to you!"

Thinking about it, Zhang Yang's movements were not slow, and he directly threw a patton-style military salute to the other party, and the other party responded very casually. He spoke directly.

"Sit."

Sitting down on a leather chair, Zhang Yang looked at the old man who was exactly the same as Agent J in the man in black. Waiting for the other party's next command.

According to the requirements of the task, in order for Zhang Yang to successfully establish S.H.I.E.L.D., the first list that must be summoned is the Colonel Phillips in front of him, and he is also a relatively important person, connecting the relationships between the other characters on the list, it can be said that he has dealt with the old man in front of him, which is equivalent to at least three people.

Although the old white man was already wrinkled, his eyes were very bright and sharp, just like a veritable "eagle". was glanced at by the other party's sharp gaze, and Zhang Yang vaguely gave birth to a feeling of being stripped naked all over his body, as if the other party's gaze could penetrate a qiē.

"Captain Zhang Yang, welcome to the Solenchek military base, I am the commander of the base and the commander of the 107th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Phillips. I have received the news that you are coming, and first of all I would like to commend you for your wonderful example in France. Also, what was your first impression of the base on the road just now? ”

Zhang Yang shrugged and said, "Sir, if you let me tell the truth, I actually think so-so. ”

Phillips's face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of mockery in his voice:

"Oh? It seems that you don't have a very high opinion of the base, although I have read the files of the army in the past two years, but there are some things you should know, that is, I don't like fools who can only brag. Maybe Lieutenant General Spatz thinks highly of you, but his opinion has nothing to do with me. ”

"Of course, Mr. Colonel, I don't like to be bragged about either."

Zhang Yang replied to the other party without showing weakness: "On the way I came, I observed the situation along the way. It is true that the location of the base is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are tanks and barbed wire, and of course, our most dedicated soldiers. However, there was one thing that puzzled me, and that was that I was a full 10 kilometers away from the base, and I saw only two observation posts, and the other party was stupidly dressed in military uniform, which was literally reporting our position to the enemy. ”

Preemptive tactics have always been a tried and tested method, although Zhang Yang is belittled from the defense of the base as soon as he comes up, but Colonel Phillips also understands that the other party is indeed a weakness, and then said in a deep voice.

"I want to state one thing in advance, we are a secret military base here, and no unrelated personnel, including any planes without any permission, are allowed to pass above. In order to warn people who have strayed into the vicinity of the base, it is very necessary to have a clear sentry in the vicinity. ”

"Well, let's not talk about the existence of the sentry for the time being, Mr. Colonel, I want to ask if there are only three secret sentry on the route of a full 10 kilometers outside the base, and the distance that everyone needs to be guarded is more than three kilometers! If the enemy is touched by a team, even if one outpost is killed, it will be difficult for the other outposts to detect the abnormality, and by the time the base finds out about the situation, I am afraid it will be too late. ”

Zhang Yang's words directly made Phillips's face cautious, without his previous disdain, and said with some surprise:

"How do you know that there are three secret sentinels? They should be secretly lurking in the mountains, right, did they take the initiative to expose? ”

There were only two people in the office, Zhang Yang and Phillips, and obviously there was no question of any leaks, so Phillips opened his mouth to ask. He couldn't help but be surprised, it was understandable to criticize the bright whistles, but those three secret whistles were all secretly lurking in the woods, responsible for observing the abnormal situation along the way, and it should not be possible to expose them. Phillips also had to guess in a certain direction following Zhang Yang's words at this moment, how did Zhang Yang learn about the situation of the secret whistle?

"I'm sorry, it's my privacy, but I can remind you that those three locations are so clumsy that if I had a sniper rifle in my hand at the time, or given a pistol to get out of the car, there was a 99% chance that I would have killed them without alerting the base. At least from this point of view, the defense of the base cannot be said to be satisfactory! ”

Zhang Yang's words were erect, but there was more coldness in Phillips's ears, and he could sense that Zhang Yang was deliberately demonstrating to him because he was so aggressive. So as to prove that he is not a fool, and this news did make Phillips chuckle in his heart, if all the open and dark outposts on the periphery of the base are discovered by the enemy, then wouldn't the base be ambushed at any time?

With a few roll of his eyes, Colonel Phillips's face, which was still a little gloomy just now, suddenly melted like ice and snow, and a smile squeezed out of his face, and he said very "sincerely":

"I really didn't expect that your observation skills are so good, Captain, I will take back my previous words, there are not many officers as good as you. Please wait a minute, I'll help you arrange the job arrangement, and your new partner in the base, she will come over later. ”

Seeing that Phillips finally took the initiative to back down, Zhang Yang knew that he had succeeded. Immediately his mind settled down a lot, and in his plan, Phillips was the one who had to be earned, but this was a colonel of some age, but in some ways he had the stubbornness peculiar to old people. is another unforgiving guy who talks about it, and in desperation, Zhang Yang came up with such a method, and before the other party was about to take advantage of himself, he preemptively asked the other party to shut up and admit defeat.

The barracks are a place of strength and fist, and this is a common law in all countries. And bullying is an unwritten rule, the new soldiers have to be bullied by the veterans of Xianbei, if they are obedient, the future will not be much better, only dare to resist, even if it is a lose-lose fight, it will at least make others have a "bad bullying" impression, compared to the former in the barracks more stable.

Zhang Yang has a good grasp of Phillips's character, such a stubborn old man who likes to pick and provoke people everywhere, when he meets a new instructor like himself, he must look for something to do and kill his own sharp spirit, which is also the so-called killing stick. It's just that today's stick killing was a little unsmooth, and he smashed his foot.

The so-called battle between the open whistle and the dark whistle is just an entry point for Zhang Yang to find in return to this killing stick, and sent scarabs to inspect along the way, even if the secret whistle is hidden, it can only be discovered, not to mention that this arrangement is indeed too sparse, so Zhang Yang caught Phillips's handle

The atmosphere in the office was a little awkward at the moment, Phillips felt that he had lost face, and looked down at Wen Jiàn ignoring Zhang Yang, who was looking at his nose and nose, and the old god of his nose and heart was there, until the movement from the door broke the situation. Zhang Yang turned around, and a woman with long blond hair walked in. (To be continued......)
