Chapter Twenty-Three: The Apostate
Originally, with Paul's style, ordinary people would say this to him, and he would probably say a few cool words without thinking about it, but this time Paul didn't talk nonsense, just nodded and naturally accepted Younis's words.
The fact is that Younis is right when he says that every nation and country will emerge in times of danger when foreign enemies invade. Otherwise, that nation and country would not have survived to this day. Such a counterattack is undoubtedly stupid and backward by our standards. That charge is more akin to World War II or even pre-World War II play. After all, in the current era of firearms, ammunition, and high rate of fire, a brainless rush is not much different from suicide. But I don't think anyone will laugh at them, but more people will admire such people, especially for me as a Chinese.
"We're going to get out of here as soon as possible." Younis spoke: "These bastards are probably going to be too big this time. I didn't even bring a communication device with me when I attacked. It is estimated that the Yankees do not know that this team has been wiped out. But it won't be long, and soon the Yankees will realize that something is wrong with them. ”
"What about these people who are caught? Those Iraqis seem to have lost a lot this time? I asked.
Younis looked at me and smiled, then made a neck wipe, "This is what they deserve." If you are fighting in a certain country one day, you should also be prepared to do so. The Iraqis suffered heavy losses, more than two dozen people died. Now there are about a dozen of them. ”
"How far are we from the border?" Paul asked, looking at Younis.
"According to them, it's not far off. They were willing to take us to the border. Younis said.
"Yes. Although that is a bit bigger. But now I need manpower to take care of the wounded. Hurry up and get out. Paul said and limped at Hummer, ". . . Let's blow them up. If it sits and fights both the Yankees and the Iraqis, it will not be worth it. ”
After blowing up the Humvee, the Iraqis executed the prisoners. After that, everyone headed towards the border. On the morning of the next day we came to the vicinity of the border. Someone is here to pick up these Iraqis, and we follow them into Syria. After Younis said goodbye to the Iraqis, we set out to go as planned. Sasha's condition is still good from time to time, and the wound is already showing signs of infection and suppuration, as is Pyatov. Although Paul was also injured a little, he was rough and thick-skinned, and he was in good condition.
A day later, we met up with the people who met us up in Syria, and given our current situation, they put us all in a private clinic to recuperate. Here Sasha had a new operation, and others were treated.
After two days here, Berezov came here. After taking a look at us, he called Younis and Paul into a room and closed the door. A moment later, the sound of an argument was heard from within.
"Sound. Paul was reprimanded? I looked at Valery, whose ears had been wrapped around like one of the ears of a black cat sheriff.
Valery looked in the direction of the room, "I guess so." Those mercenaries, if it weren't for their own carelessness, it would have been the Iraqis and us who would have been annihilated. What is he saying? I have bad ears and can't hear clearly. ”
I nodded, listening intently to what Berezov was saying. "It's like blaming Paul, it's not disciplined. Saving people became. It became a fight for the Iraqis against the Yankees. Five people went to attack a team of more than twenty people, leaving aside the real task, the people who needed to be escorted. As I spoke, Valery burst out laughing.
"It's ******. It's been a long time since I've heard Paul being scolded. Valery said with a smile.
I listened to the words and said, "When was the last time he was scolded?" ”
"It was years ago. He was scolded by his mother. Valery said and pointed inside, "What are you talking about?" ”
"It's nothing, just attack indiscriminately. Five people were seriously injured and two were lightly injured. It was almost annihilated. And said that the conductor is not Younis, and he can't treat him as a human being until the end of the mission? He has no right to point fingers, let alone be influenced by him
。 "As I was talking, the person inside had changed, and it sounded like Eunice. Younis changed his previous unhurried speaking style, and began to teach people very dissatisfied.
"This time you have learned Berezov a lesson." I gloated and Valery said.
"Hey, hey. What did he say? Valery asked.
I listened carefully and said: "He said Berezov, and it is not his turn to teach people." Even if it's that old thing from Klinger? Don't try to teach him a lesson when that old thing comes. Even if Paul didn't listen to him at the time, he would have fought the Yankee mercenaries himself. He didn't want to go back for a long time, and he made a lot of money by living so long. ”
"It's a bunch of people whose lives are worthless." Valery said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Younis walked out. He didn't look angry, but had an indifferent expression. He saw Valery and me, smiled, "Take it easy." You're doing a good job. Nothing to be nervous about. ”
"Then we continue to stay here. Or get out of here? Valery asked.
Younis said as he walked out, "You should continue to live for a while, I don't have to." ”
"And where are you going?" I asked.
"Go and organize guerrillas. Go back and fight the Americans. ”
In the end, of course, Younis did not become the leader of a guerrilla group and remained in Iraq. A week later, after Sasha and Pyatov's injuries were stabilized, we left here and headed back to Ukraine. In the office building of Paul's security company, Klinger and Younis meet. We don't know what they talked about, but the two of them seemed very happy and excited to meet each other together. Half a month later, we received a new mission, and this time it was not Klinger who introduced us to the mission, but Younis.
First he showed us a set of slides. There is not one person on this set of slides, but a total of four people. And there are men and women. They were all secretly photographed on the street, and these four people are not young, they should all be about forty or fifty years old.
"Did these people see that?" Eunice said.
I, Paul, Berezov, and Pinto looked at him and waited for him. Younis smiled and said, "These used to be mine. As he spoke, he glanced at Klinger, "It should be our colleague." Notice what I said, it's before. Now they're not, they're all alive and well now. It's quite moisturizing, to be exact. It's not like I hid in another country like a lost dog, and then I was brought back by you like a lost dog. For example, this woman, I remember that he was very beautiful when he was young, and of course he looks good now. Her name is Elise now? Morgan. Married with her husband's surname, and has two children. ”
He said as he switched to another man, a little defeated, with glasses and a bag twisted as if he was about to get into the car. He looks like a well-educated, decent job, and a decent middle-class man.
"This man's name is Richie now? Riel. He is a professional manager of an investment company. Not married, but with a beautiful lover. Younis's tone began to slowly change strangely, as if he was deliberately enduring something.
"Next." Younis changed a photo. This photo shows a man coming out of, supposedly, a residence. The accommodation is quite good, it is the kind of single-door villa. There is also a small child next to the man, who is supposed to be planning to send the child to school.
"His name is Robert now? Dawson. is the owner of a security products company. Younis changed to the last picture, "This guy, tsk." I'm about the same age. But it seems that he is younger than me and much more handsome than me. ”
Eunice's tone had begun to be yin and yang, and I glanced at Paul. Paul shook his head at me and signaled that he didn't know what Younis was singing.
"This guy's name is Hori now? Anderson. is the owner of an entertainment promotion company, and it is said that he has slept with many little stars. Ha ha. I have a child, my wife
It's also beautiful. Why do you want to sleep with other women? Eunice looked at us as if talking to himself, "Isn't it strange why you are allowed to see this?" Strange why do you show these ordinary people? ”
"Yes. . . It's weird. I said, "And... I noticed you said they are now called. Is that not the name you just mentioned? ”
"Aha! Wise man! If I were an instructor and you were my student, you had the potential to be my most proud student. Of course, that's not necessarily what you want to see. He changed the slides and said to us, "Then as my proud student said, let's get to know these friends who know me again." ”
"First of all, this Elise? Modern. Younis said, and the slide year switched. What we saw was a photo of a hat-off that looked like he was wearing a military uniform. The military uniform is... Soviet.
"Brakova. What do you think? I was pretty when I was young. Ethnic Russians, who had been lurking in the United States to engage in espionage work before the disintegration. He is mainly responsible for communication and liaison in the group. "Younis switches to the next one, and the hat off ID photo of the professional manager from before appears in front of our eyes," Andre. Ethnic Russians, like Blakova, lurk in the United States. Mainly responsible for intelligence collection and transmission. Then the photos switched again, and the picture of the person who gave the child appeared," said Vishriak. Ukrainians, and they are an action group. Mainly responsible for intelligence transmission, personnel and material response and some dirty work. Then the picture changed, and the picture of the playboy appeared, "My old friend, Kudrya." Russians, the head of this group. Once upon a time I also had a group. But they died, they disappeared, and I was the only one left alive. And the reason for the collapse of my group. He said, gesturing to Kudrya's photograph, "It's the apostasy of him and his group." There's a lot of stories in there. A lot you shouldn't know, and I can't tell. The mission this time is to pull these people out of the good life that my members have paid for with their lives, and push them into hell. ”
