Chapter 1175: Horror Psychology
In the old compartment, there are two or three backpacks left behind, which are basically necessary for medics with the function of medical first aid kits, which is the first choice for Buck to go out now, and he brought three satellite phones in advance, one of which was even tied to the roof spare tire ring with tape and a folding AK rifle, plus a special shockproof box, which is the latest equipment that Lin Dong sorted out for Buck.
The two pistols are self-defense weapons that look bright on the passenger seat, Buck does not intend to rush and kill, now he is more vigilant of any militants who appear on both sides of the highway, in areas where ethnic disputes are more violent, the most feared is the national extremists who shoot indiscriminately, this is the biggest lesson he has learned in Central Asia, the entanglement of every inch of land between them can be seen from the current map, all kinds of intertwined land lines are entangled, and there are even a large number of enclaves, that is, the situation that the territory of the village is another country in all directions around, which is extremely rare elsewhere.
The former Soviet Union has not properly handled the national issue.
After staying in a hotel outside the Belarusian air base for one night, after learning some vague general conditions, Barker's destination was the entire eastern region of Ukraine, and he had to take pictures and videos if necessary, because in fact, from Xiang Wan's feedback, the above also gave additional requirements to his action of recruiting mercenaries in Eastern Europe this time, to go to the places where the Chinese forces in Ukraine cannot reach at present, and understand what the real situation is, especially in some areas involving the Chinese military-industrial trade。
As a military intelligence department, in fact, the most important task is to collect intelligence and provide a true and reliable situation for the decision-making level to make correct judgments, rather than just looking at the media, which is all to fool ordinary people.
Buck hung a high-definition dash cam on the windshield behind the rearview mirror with a suction cup, but did not turn on the recording after powering on, a small remote control was glued under the steering wheel with double-sided tape, and then Buck's route was basically along the border between Russia and Ukraine, away from the main highways like the arteries of those countries, just choosing the small road between towns and cities to go towards Kharkiv.
I haven't been to Ukraine for more than a year, and the continuous chaos has paralyzed the overall situation of the whole country, but there is no sign of war in the more remote towns, at least the people in these places can still use agricultural products to live their own lives, but gasoline has to rely on smugglers from Russia, as for industrial products other than agricultural products, it has to rely on external input, so compressing their demand for other items has become a common situation in these places, and it seems that they have returned to the ancient state of life in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries。
He also had lunch in a small town, and people were not very interested in the dollars he paid, saying that it would be better if there were household items such as toothpaste and soap, and Buck regretted that he should fill a cart, so he was prompted by this mentality, and he collected and bought all the food he could buy.
In the spring of Ukraine, everything is full of green, and the fertile black soil where anything can be thrown is also full of working farmers, although some of them still put their rifles in the fields to guard against any eventuality, but they all waved friendly to the small van that drove quietly alone, which made Buck more sure of his decision to choose to take the small road this way.
At this time, Ukraine is also the most beautiful, the dense woods with fog in the morning flashed by the side of the road, and when the sun was shining at noon, the abundant grass and trees were almost refreshing, and the charming natural environment with beautiful trees was still beautiful, but his mood was a little low.
If he is still the little mercenary before, the little designer who only wants his wife and children to warm the kang, he can't see or feel this kind of God's hand-like dialing, just according to the contract to attack a certain village, decorate a certain project, and plan a series of battles in Mindanao by himself, change the political pattern there, and use commercial methods, The market means affected the local economic situation of Yuelan, and then intervened in the pirate shipping joint point in the Strait of Malacca, Buck seemed to stand a little taller and see more things.
It seems that there is a little more of an attitude of worrying about the world.
Fortunately, he is not a person who likes to drill the horns, this kind of thing can be thought about, it is useless to think too much, after several hours of continuous trekking, after passing through the Konev Forest, where he had exchanged fire with Russian armed men, Buck approached half of his hometown of Kharkiv, looked at the outskirts of the city, reached out and turned on the familiar FM radio channel, hoping to understand some of the current basic news situation, which was basically closed in those small places before.
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, where industries and universities are concentrated, is not yet at the center of the storm, and the capital has always been in the forefront.
The president also got out of class, this is the news that Buck heard in Southeast Asia, but in Belarus to get more details, the former Air Force colonel naturally has the corresponding military relations to inquire, Yarmolenko is not here for political factors, but simply hopes to recruit some powerful military personnel to consolidate the foundation of these Ukrainians in the past, this is what Natasha said to him, and Buck now hears this thing repeatedly on the radio: "The president has violated the Constitution...... In the massacre of the people, the executioner must be held accountable for his evil deeds......"
The matter is nothing more than that the pro-Russian president ordered the armed forces to clear the field and drive away all the opposition who were stationed in the street squares to demonstrate, and in the process the demonstrators suffered heavy casualties, and the opposition immediately seized on this matter and strongly attacked the president, and even directly attacked the presidential palace, and the president disappeared.
Of course, Buck heard a more pertinent statement in Belarus that when the scene was cleared, the opposition was not good, and it should even be the guns and explosives they used first, and then the armed personnel sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs fired back, and before that, it was very confirmed that the military and police personnel had more than a dozen casualties, and it was almost a subconscious counterattack or a little revenge, which caused the final result to be a river of blood.
Buck doesn't care about these details, politics is like this, any of the details in the middle magnify the public saying that the public is reasonable, no one is absolutely clean, what he cares about is that in this situation where the pro-Russian regime has basically collapsed, where will Ukraine go and what will happen to the situation in Kharkiv.
At least from what he saw as he cautiously drove the van around the outside of the city, if just over a year ago the huge city was in chaos, now it is somewhat empty and dead!
A very unsafe heartbeat can easily appear in the hearts of citizens.
This is the psychology of war and terror. R1148
