Chapter 36: Elites or Cannon Fodder

A few days later, Lin Rui stepped out of the hospital bed. In spring, the air in Western Siberia is still a little chilly, full of the fresh smell of the mountains.

Lin Rui stood at the window and touched the wound under his ribs, still feeling pain. In this test, called Operation Thunder, he was shot and broke several ribs during the subsequent torture, but the other injuries were not severe. Although he was beaten badly in the face, and he was blown out of acute pneumonia by the cold air. But it's better than hurting your muscles and bones.

There was a knock on the door of the ward. Lin Rui turned around and said, "Come in." ”

He thought it was a medical staff from the training camp, but it was a handsome middle-aged man who came in. With gray hair and a crisp suit, Michelle is more like a traditional gentleman than a military man. But his eyes remained shiny and sharp, like a wolf.

Michelle walked in and smiled, "Looks like you're doing well." ”

"It's good, if it weren't for your damn torture test, I'd have recovered much faster. The actuary smashed me in the back of the head, not to mention the Brit posing as a Russian man, who was such a good thug and broke three of my ribs and multiple soft tissue contusions. Lin Rui said lightly, "One of my hands still can't be lifted." ”

"Forget that. Silver Wolf Michelle smiled slightly, "On the bright side, you helped us win this assessment." And Shun lì Tong guò torture test, which is very difficult for a newcomer. In view of your outstanding performance in this operation, the military evaluator gave you a high evaluation score. This score is enough for you to become our priority training object. ”

"Priority training?" Lin Rui frowned, "I thought the training camp had ended early. ”

"Yes, however, you have impressed the board of directors of the company with your efficient actions and professional military qualities. Our training system will be retained, and even a considerable amount of budget will be added to expand the training resources. "So the training camp will continue." ”

"It's great. Lin Rui said lightly.

"Why do you think that? It seems that most of the students want to leave this camp sooner. Michelle smiled slightly.

Lin Rui said calmly, "If you leave here, where can you go? It's nothing more than a mission and participating in various battles." If you're lucky, you'll be able to pick up a life. If you're lucky, you'll hang up. And if you are even worse, you will end your life with a disabled body. He looked at Michelle's prosthetic hand and added, "I don't mean to offend, just to tell the truth." Compared with going to the battlefield and fighting with real guns, I prefer this training camp. At least keep me alive. And I know that the more I study here, the more hope I have for the future. ”

Michelle smiled slightly, "You're a smart guy and you're patient. A combination of intelligence and patience, it is a very dangerous gift. You will be the most dangerous killer to your enemies. Okay, I'm actually here to inform you today that you're not going back to your old squad. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Rui frowned. "The squad has been reorganized?"

"Sort of. After you killed Gross, Tang Kun's team arrived just in time and had an exchange of fire with the evacuated Gross mercenaries. Although it was a complete victory, there were also casualties and attrition, and the original squad structure was no longer complete. Moreover, the number of all tactical operations of this thunder operation was uploaded to the company and systematically evaluated by professional military observers. A different number of assessments have been established for each of you. You will be grouped again based on the value of this assessment number. Michelle looked at him and said.

"Whatever. I still want to be with my teammates if I can. Lin Rui shrugged.

Michelle shook her head and said, "I'm suing you, it's not casual at all. Depending on your assessment score, you'll be trained to a higher standard. And after the training, you'll be working with the best military team in the world. ”

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Of course, I will also carry out more dangerous military missions." ”

Michelle smiled slightly, "I know what you're thinking. The more prominent you think the table is, the more dangerous it will be. So you have some reservations in all your trainings. I don't want to lie to you, but if you go to a higher level of team, you do perform more dangerous tasks. You might think it's not safe, I understand. Don't forget that I'm also a mercenary, and everyone wants to keep this life back. ”

Lin Rui looked at him silently and did not speak.

Michelle sighed and said, "The military personnel of the Morningstar Company, according to their comprehensive rating, are divided into four grades, from A to D. There are also differences in the tasks they are engaged in. A-level tasks are high-risk and well-paid. This includes participation in covert military operations, infiltration operations, destruction of important military targets, and decapitation or escort missions of important people. The D-class mission, which seems to have a very low risk, is mainly engaged in base defense and military security measures. ”

Lin Rui didn't speak, at least waiting for Michelle to continue to finish speaking.

"But the reality is usually cruel. The casualty probability of D-class missions is much higher than that of A-class missions. Relatively speaking, A-Class military personnel will receive more resources and support for their tasks, and they will be completed with the best team. Plan an A-level mission, there will be a complete mission plan, more intelligence support. Some missions are even equipped with aerial fire support such as Predator drones. This makes the success rate of the mission higher. D-class missions, on the other hand, don't have as many resources available. ”

After a pause, Michelle sighed and said, "Taking the Iraq war as an example, it is just a simple task such as base defense and vigilance. Endless armed attacks, roadside bombs, suicide attacks. Many lives of military security personnel are claimed every day. You never know when you're going to get a cold shot from afar, and you never know where it's safe. The casualty probability of D-level missions is even more than ten times, or even dozens of times, that of A-level missions. ”

Lin Rui was silent, he knew that Michelle didn't need to lie to him.

"The world of mercenaries is practical, everything has a price. The elite has the price of the elite, and the cannon fodder also has the value of the cannon fodder. The difference is that the A-level elite mission is highly valued, and in order to ensure the success rate, the company will spare no effort to support it. And the D-class cannon fodder mission can only be blessed by yourself. Michelle said slowly, "Many people say that I am a legend in the mercenary world. But the reality is that I'm always on difficult tasks and with the best team. That's why I've come to where I am today. ”

Lin Rui was silent for a while, looked at him and said, "Why are you saying this to me?"

"Because you have a lot of things in you, similar to me back then. Follow my path and you will be the next living legend. And if you let your own nature do your part, you can only be an unknown corpse lying on the side of the road in an unknown country. Even if you are mentioned, you are simply referred to as some unknown armed person. This is by no means alarmist, you think for yourself. Michelle said calmly
