This side of the mountain is relatively less steep, and the slope down the mountain is much smoother than the other side before, but even if the journey is not so difficult, it takes a lot of time for the team to come down from the mountain.

At night, the group set up tents by the small river that passed around the mountain, and after a day and a night of climbing over the snowy mountains, it was time to rest.

Lighting up the bonfire, taking off heavy winter clothing, the group sits around the campfire, opens canned beef and other foods, heats it up a little, and eats a little simple hot food.

Seeing Li Xiaodong take off his cold-proof suit and reveal the camouflage training clothes inside, a South Korean soldier looked at the rank of private on his shoulder in amazement, then turned his head and pushed Captain Jin beside him, and whispered, "Captain, look, this guy is just an ordinary soldier, those Chinese soldiers are too much, the observers they stationed are not even officers, they must have done it on purpose, they only sent a low-level soldier, they must be despising us with an arrogant attitude!"

When Jin Zhizhen heard this, he looked at the rank on Li Xiaodong's shoulder, and his face gradually became ugly.

In accordance with the usual international practice, if two different factions of the armed forces interact with each other, as a sign of mutual respect, the personnel who come into contact with each other are usually officers of the same rank who are not too different in rank. In their mercenary team, the lowest rank is second lieutenant, and the leader of the team, Jin Zhizhen, is a special forces officer from a major, but now the observer stationed by the other party is only a low-level private, you can imagine how difficult their self-esteem is.

Especially considering that the other party delayed for more than ten hours to deliver the equipment and equipment they were in short supply, causing them to freeze on the snowy mountains for a full day, Jin Zhizhen had even more reason to believe that those Chinese soldiers stationed in the camp were deliberately embarrassing them.

Jin Zhizhen threw the firewood branch in his hand to the ground and said coldly, "Mr. Observer, I want to know, what kind of order did your commander give you? Could it be that they want a low-level soldier to supervise our operations?"

Several other mercenaries said indignantly: "An ordinary private, what qualifications do you have to become an observer? The lowest rank here is a second lieutenant officer of the special operations elite unit, what qualifications do you have to supervise our operations?"

"Captain Kim, I suggest contacting their camp immediately, driving this arrogant guy away, and asking them to send people again!"

South Koreans' self-esteem is not ordinary sensitivity, and the slightest thing is enough to make them make a big fuss, and they feel that this kind of thing is a great insult to them.

Li Mina didn't speak, she just looked at them leisurely, she didn't plan to interfere in the contradictions between these soldiers, she was very interested, she wanted to see how this Huaxia soldier named Li Xiaodong would deal with Captain Jin, a senior soldier who seemed to be much higher than him.

Li Xiaodong was unmoved, and he didn't bother to explain his identity as a colonel, he licked a piece of wood from the bonfire, and then said slowly, "Captain Jin, according to the agreement between the two sides in the morning, we will provide you with the equipment you urgently need, and you will accept the supervision of our personnel, that's all." It seems that when the two sides were in contact with each other, they did not require us to send personnel of the same level to join you as observers, so Captain Kim, even if I am just an ordinary private, I am qualified to supervise your search and rescue operations on our behalf, so please abide by the agreement and fulfill your promises. ”

This sounds a little irritating, but Jin Zhizhen and others must also admit that when the two sides contacted each other at that time, they did not put forward the requirement that "the level of the observer must be equal", and if they wanted to drive him away on the grounds that "the observer was just a low-level private", they would indeed be suspected of not keeping their promises.

Jin Zhizhen snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "Since this is the case, there are some things that I must explain to you." Originally, considering that the observer should be a high-ranking officer, we planned to be polite to you, but you are only a lowest-ranking soldier, so you must accept our command in the future. I'm sure you won't forget that in the agreement, I mentioned that since you join our operation, then all actions must abide by operational discipline, and you, a private, are now a member of our combat sequence, and you must unconditionally accept the orders of your superiors, and I hope you will strictly do it. ”

Li Xiaodong picked up the bonfire and said, "As long as it's not an unreasonable request, I will." ”

"Well, Mr. Observer, it suddenly seems to me that it is not unpleasant for you to send a private as an observer. A playful smile escaped from the corner of Jin Zhizhen's mouth.

The other South Korean mercenaries understood the meaning of his words, and they all smiled wickedly at the same time.

In their troops, it is a very common but interesting thing for veterans to play tricks on recruits and bosses to make things difficult for subordinates, and they can imagine that with a small soldier like Li Xiaodong coming in, there will be a lot more fun in future operations.

Immediately, a short South Korean mercenary stood up, pointed to the river, and said, "First order, run forward, go to the river to get some water, and then boil water for us." ”

Li Xiaodong frowned secretly, feeling that these South Korean soldiers were really shameless, and they would come as soon as they said they.

Jin Zhizhen smiled and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Observer? Have you forgotten what you said just now? Now that our station needs a lot of hot water, is Lieutenant Park's order an unreasonable request?"

"......" Li Xiaodong thought for a while, then said nothing, dropped the firewood and got up, went to carry things, and went to the river to get water.

Seeing that he was honest, he really obeyed the order to fetch water, and one of them said with a joke, "This is right, a low-level soldier must have the consciousness of being a soldier, don't think that you are an observer, you can be on an equal footing with us." You should know that it is your duty to obey the instructions of your superiors. ”

"Hehe, let him do all the hard things in the future, and I'll be completely relaxed......"

"Haha, Second Lieutenant Han, among all of them, only you are the luckiest......"

"Hehe, I think so too, if you look for him in the future, don't look for me again......" Everyone laughed together, as if there was an extra mule in the team that could be called upon by others.

Jin Mina looked at Li Xiaodong's back as he walked away, and a hint of mockery flashed in a pair of narrow and charming phoenix eyes.

A small soldier, how can he supervise this team?

To make him an observer is an unprecedented absurdity.
