Pete looked around and said, "This place is much better than the previous place." Will our reconnaissance operations begin immediately? ”

Donovan waved his hand, and after leading everyone to a clearing, he said, "Take a break." After saying that, he looked at Eric and said, "What do you think?" ”

Eric took out the water he was carrying, took two sips, and said, "It's time to rest." I'll have to talk to the Georgians about it. ”

Donovan nodded, then looked at the others and said, "Eat something and rest first." He looked at Matt and Ellie and said, "How do you feel?" ”

"It's fine. Nothing special except for pain. Avery said, glancing at Pete, and said, "I can participate in your reconnaissance operation." ”

"No need." Donovan waved his hand, "This has already been arranged." After speaking, he looked at Matt and said, "What about you?" What do you think? ”

Matt leaned his head against a pillar and looked tired, "My legs are stiff. It's not good or bad. ”

"Okay." Donovan sat down as he spoke, and after a long sigh of relief, he looked at everyone and said, "I'll sort out our belongings in a moment." Everything you eat is taken out, and the rest is thrown away after filling your stomach before departure, and you don't need to bring any extra ammunition. Everyone only brought enough water. As he spoke, he looked at Eric and said, "When are you going to set out to scout?" ”

Eric said as he drank his water, "It's definitely not going to work today." There was no point in going out at night, we didn't have night vision gear, and we might get lost in the mountains. Tomorrow morning, how about leaving at three o'clock? ”

"If you think there's still time to do that, I'm fine." Donovan took out the food after speaking, "Honestly, it would be nice if we could contact the people outside." ”

Eric seemed to think of something when he heard him say this, and he stood up and said, "I'll ask them who they can contact here." Maybe we can really get in touch with the outside, but it might take a bit of work. With that, he walked over to the Georgians.

Pete immediately got up and followed, only to see Eric find a communications office in a basement on the other side of the plaza after a bit of inquiry. However, only people in the city of Tskhinvali can be contacted here, and up to the brigade command post of the 1st Georgian Brigade can be contacted.

Satisfied with this Eric, he immediately asked the Georgians to help him get in touch, and even made up an excuse to lie that he had important information to inform them.

Perhaps because Eric was a Yankee, the Georgians easily believed him, not only to make contact with him, but also to find someone who could speak English here.

Seeing that the other party was so solemn, Pete immediately whispered to Eric: "What are you going to say to the people in their brigade headquarters?" Is it really intelligence? ”

"Intelligence? Hell intelligence. Eric was obviously an old fritter, and after chuckling, he said, "I should have said it a long time ago." Now I just want to get out of here. I can't die here, let alone fall into the hands of the Russians. ”

"And what are you going to say?" Pete said as he looked around, "Others are in a difficult situation, and they don't have the heart to joke with you." ”

"Don't worry." Eric said, "I'll just make some up." Anyway, to reiterate what I had predicted, the point is that they can help me connect with the people in Tbilisi. That's how we can get support. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Georgian man in charge of the translation looked at Eric and said, "Mr. Eric, the phone has been answered." It's the brigade department, who are you looking for? ”

"I'm looking for Brigadier Bulkanadze." Eric said with a sense of urgency, "I have something important to say to him. About the Russians. ”

The interpreter quickly spoke to the phone, only to see that after a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, another person spoke, and after the person spoke, the interpreter instinctively stood up straight and said a few words in a very respectful tone, then looked at Eric and said: "Mr. Eric, the brigade commander asked me to tell you that the people in Tbilisi have been contacting you, and they are asking you to return to Tbilisi immediately. ”

"Return?!" Eric smiled wryly and said, "I want to go back now, but I can't get away when I encounter the bombardment of the Russians." Now I want to go out of the city, because as far as I know, only the west side is safer around Tskhinvali at the moment. ”

The interpreter spoke to the other side of the phone, "The brigade commander asked me to tell you that you are right. Now the Russians are building up their forces in the north-east direction, and the entire southern road to Gori is being bombed and blocked. He wants to know what your specific plan is? ”

"Plans? The plan was that I wanted to get out of here after scouting the route. The time is tomorrow morning. If it goes well, I will go to Znauri. When I got there, I will try to leave, and if I can contact someone in Tbilisi, please tell them to meet me in Znauri. Eric said.

The interpreter quickly translated, and after talking to the other side, he turned to look at Eric again and said, "The brigade commander said that he would report your plan to the Tbilisi side soon." Let's wait here for a while. ”

"Good. No problem. I can wait. Eric said and found a place to sit down, and after seeing the other party hang up, he turned to Pete, "It seems that we don't need to provide any information." ”

Pete looked at the Georgian and said, "It seems that Tbilisi has been looking for you since losing contact, and is in a hurry." Otherwise, this brigade chief would not have taken this matter so seriously. ”

"Huh." Eric smiled mysteriously and said, "They don't want me to fall into the hands of the Russians." At least more serious than what brigade commander was caught by the Russians. ”

Pete smiled and didn't say anything more, it wasn't that he didn't believe it, but he really believed it. Because obviously the things this guy does are some confidential things, he is an intelligence person, especially the guy he met at the school in Tskhinvali, and it must be for very important things to be able to take such a big risk to meet, and these things needless to say are obviously related to the Russians, maybe these things are not even known to Georgia, but only to serve the United States. That's why I took my own group of people to do this alone.

"But right now that's what we need most." Eric saw that Pete didn't speak, so he said again, and as soon as he finished speaking, news came from the brigade headquarters in the city.

The man in charge of the translator picked up the phone, listened to a few words, then hung up, and then said to Eric: "The brigade headquarters has just instructed you to wait here, and the brigade headquarters has reported the news of your place and your plan to Tbilisi, and according to the instructions from Tbilisi, there will be a platoon of soldiers to protect you from Tskhinvali. There will also be people waiting for you in Znauri. ”
