When entering Odessa by car from the airport, Choga found that this famous European city was really a bit of a decline.

As a summer retreat, it lost its laid-back urban temperament in the face of war.

Everyone on the road seemed to be in a hurry, there were long queues in front of every bank, and most of the bakeries and coffee shops had closed signs......

Great Russia did not strike too hard at Odessa, but at the beginning of the war it attacked some places on the outskirts of the city with missiles, which caused power outages in parts of the city.

At the same time, the road to the east of Kherson was cut off, and the scattered garrisons of nearby ukk-l were scattered and forced to surrender, preventing them from attacking from behind when the Russian army was besieging Ma-upol.

To tell the truth, in addition to the high-level people, no matter how loud the media shouted, even the ordinary people of Ukraine, as well as the middle and low ranks of the army, were not prepared.

By the time Choga arrived in Odessa, the war had already begun for almost a month, the Great Russian Northern Front had paid the price for its rash advance, and the Kiev battlefield was in a stalemate.

Because the supplies could not keep up, the coordination of various fronts was chaotic, and some of the teams were already showing signs of retreat.

On the contrary, the southern front has misjudged the war because of NATO and Ukraine, which has made great Russia go smoothly......

When the sound of artillery and missiles first appeared in the real world of people, many soldiers in the south of the ukk collapsed without fighting.

Although the remaining few are still stationed around the city, they are also showing panic.

Great Russia's strategic goal is not Odessa, but to converge with the militia in Donetsk to the east, so the ground defense pressure on the cities west of Kherson is not particularly strong.

And the ordinary people in Odessa, a commercial port city, in the face of the bombardment from time to time by Great Russia, they all chose to flee if they could, and those who remained in Odessa could only pray that the bombs would not fall on their heads.

The dwilight of the city made Joga a little uncomfortable......

He has been to many war-torn cities, and the Middle East and North Africa are hot spots......

But Odessa is in much better shape than those places, but the feeling of suffocation in the air is much stronger than in places like Baghdad, Kandahar, Tubrug, etc.

You can feel the people who stayed in the city and didn't leave, trying to suppress their panic and keep their dignity, but they didn't show any organization, everyone was doing their own thing.

When the West faced disasters and wars, the weaknesses of its sparse organizational capabilities were completely exposed.

Some of those who looked like conscripts held signs calling on the Odessians to stand up and defend their country, but most chose to stand by and watch.

In the Western world, mobilization for war is an extremely costly and extremely complex affair......

Choga looked at an old man on crutches and scolded at a Ukrainian soldier holding a conscription sign, and he said to Sergei on the co-pilot: "If the army of Great Russia enters Odessa at this time, will the people here surrender directly?" ”

When Sergei heard this, he shook his head and said: "Only the army has the qualifications to surrender, and ordinary people have no need at all, because no one will care about them, so they will not ask their opinions!"

It was only when the war ended and the elections resumed that ordinary people were allowed to vote for a few people who popped up and then accepted the leadership of those people.

The process of European integration is constantly advancing, and Europeans are already somewhat vague about what they should fight for.

Left-wing regimes do not promote war because left-wing politicians fear that ordinary people will know what their troops are doing elsewhere and that it will affect their image in the minds of the population.

In the eyes of many new generations of Europeans, 'anti-terrorism' is already the whole story of war! ”

Saying that, Sergei pointed to a few loose Ukrainian soldiers on the side of the road, shook his head and said: "The most elite troops of Ukrainian L are all on the Eastern Front, and these second-line soldiers are not ready at all!" ”

Joga looked at the gradually increasing number of Ukrainian Army troops in the direction of the convoy, he frowned and said, "Why are these people so close to the port?" ”

Sergei shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to discuss these troops stationed near the port, and the Golden Eagle leader 'Tomahawk', who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and said: "Boss, these people are scared, they don't want to stay in the barracks and wait for a rotation out of the city, because they are afraid that Great Russia will bomb them."

Staying around UN mercenaries will make them feel safe.

Now these people don't even have basic supplies, we just give them something, and they're willing to help when something goes wrong at the port. ”

After hearing this, Qiao Jia shook his head and said with a smile: "The reaction of these people makes me a little confused, do they realize their situation? ”

Tomahawk sighed and said, "For most people, the war is actually a game of choosing sides.

Some people feel that Ukraine will be able to win with the support of NATO, completely control the Ukraine D area, and then join NATO to obtain complete security.

Some people feel that the Zelens government will not be able to bear it at all, and soon new politicians will come to power, and the uk will return to the track of the past.

But most people don't think that the war will change anything, and if they have the opportunity, most people would prefer to leave Ukraine, because in the past, so many changes and even color revolutions have not changed anything in the end.

Most people simply don't know why they are fighting?

It's a pity that Great Russia behaved too badly, and NATO did not dare to include Ukraine into the NATO system in a state of war.

Once the war is prolonged, people will really feel the pain! ”

Qiao Jia listened, nodded slightly, he looked at the side face of the 'Tomahawk' without much expression, and said, "What about you?

Do you have any thoughts on the interior of the Golden Eagle for me to arrange the Golden Eagle in Odessa?

If you have a conflict with Ukraine or Russia, will you ......"

"No!"

Before Qiao Jia's words were finished, the 'Tomahawk' said categorically: "No, boss, we won't......

Only those who have truly experienced our situation can understand how mentally painful the soldiers of the Golden Eagle are.

For uk L, we are traitors.

For Great Russia, we are the former ukrainian-l special forces.

If it weren't for P· B, we don't have any honor at all! ”

Speaking of the 'Tomahawk', he said in a slightly hoarse sad tone: "For the soldiers of the Golden Eagle, money does not solve all problems.

At first, everyone wanted to leave this desperate place, but as long as we had the opportunity, we still wanted to find our own honor, otherwise it would be difficult for us to be at peace in this life. ”

Hearing this, Choga waved his hand and said: "I don't mean to distrust you, I handed over Odessa to you because I trust you, and you are the ones who are most familiar with this place."

I'm just worried that forcing you to take a neutral stance will make you feel miserable! ”

'Tomahawk' was stunned for a moment, and said very seriously: "Why should we feel pain to protect the safety of civilians and help those who want to leave to leave safely."

The responsibility of soldiers is to protect, and civilians need to be guarded!

From the moment those people forced us to kneel, we renounced our nationality and identity......

Sir, you told us that you would take us to do the right thing!

You keep your promises, and so do we! ”

Joga nodded in agreement with Tomahawk'......

Just as he was about to ask Sergei how many people from the intelligence organization were in the city of Odessa, the convoy in front suddenly stopped......

As soon as the car stopped, Sergei picked up the radio and scolded rudely: "What the fuck are you guys doing?

You're on a military mission, who the fuck told you to stop? ”

"Sir, there are several broken down military vehicles on the road, and the people of the Territorial Defense Force are rushing to repair ......"

Sergei listened and said decisively: "Send someone to get out of the car to guard and push the broken down car to the side of the road......"

"Understood, sir!"

Just as the convoy ahead was on alert to get out of the car at Sergei's request, an explosion occurred in a truck blocked in the lane......

There was a loud "boom", and a cloud of gray-black smoke rose from the front of the convoy about 500 meters away from Qiaojia's location, and then the people around let out an exclamation and began to run in all directions......

Sergei calmly commanded the convoy......

The new Bradley tanks all started up, seized the left lane, and opened a certain distance, using large-caliber weapons to match the fire of the military vehicles in the convoy, and began to establish a defensive line.

Perhaps the convoy reacted too quickly, and the enemy did not continue the attack......

A few minutes later, the convoy was up and running again and sped through the blast site......

When Qiaojia passed by the explosion site, he saw several Humvees guarding the intersection on both sides of the road, completely blocking the east-west traffic, and the golden eagle soldiers in the car turned the large-caliber machine guns on the car, looking at the surrounding situation with serious expressions.

Several tattered corpses in ukl uniforms were discarded on the side of the road, and some members of the territorial defense force, also wearing ukl uniforms, lost their weapons and hid themselves in the surrounding areas to prevent misunderstanding by the angry golden eagle soldiers.

"Do we have losses?"

Sergei picked up the radio and asked, turned his head to look at Boss Qiao and said: "Prudence saved their lives, the head car was nearly 50 meters away from the explosive vehicle, seriously injured a driver, and slightly injured 4 soldiers." ”

Joga frowned and said, "Does this kind of thing happen often?" ”

Sergey shook his head and said: "No, after we took control of the port, such a situation has never happened. ”

Saying that, Sergei looked at Boss Qiao and said, "Boss, I think this is more like a warning than an attack."

Your whereabouts are not classified, but it is basically impossible for the attackers to determine which vehicle you are in.

This kind of attack without follow-up cooperation is actually more intimidating than practical!

But for people who know your character, this practice will only irritate you! ”

Qiao Jia nodded slightly and said: "The port of Odessa is controlled by me, who is the most unacceptable?" ”

Sergei said calmly: "Theoretically, Great Russia, the belonging of Odessa is whether they can completely surround the ukk-l and control the key cities of ukk-l's fate."

However, their focus now is on Malupol, and attacking the UN-mandated team at this time will only attract them more sanctions. ”

Just as Joga nodded to say something, a call came to his satellite phone......

"Jackal, you were bombed by Great Russia in Odessa?"

Qiaojia was stunned for a moment......

"What? Bombing? ”
