I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 141: Wolf smoke
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Ukraine, located in Eastern Europe, is the largest country in Europe except Russia. It was independent when the Soviet Union (CCCP) disintegrated in 1991.
Because of the fertile soil, Ukraine, as the world ’s third-largest grain exporter, has a reputation as the “Granary of Europe”. At the same time, Kiev, Ukraine, ranks first among the world's top ten "beauty capitals" selected by the world-renowned travel magazine "Visitor Digest".
Food and beauty.
Overall, this is a beautiful place.
However, the smoke has cast a shadow on this beauty.
The bane has been buried since the hurried change in 1991.
On January 9, 2014, a riot in the name of "People's Cooking" took the country to turmoil.
On the evening of March 29, 2014, Crimea set the time forward by two hours and officially switched to Moscow time.
Like a flag, Eastern cities followed suit, Donetsk and Lugansk announced their independence, and officially lit the smoke of the civil war.
......
"Strictly speaking, I am a Belarusian, but I spent my childhood in Ukraine. My father was a Soviet soldier and met my mother in Kip." Nick held the cigarette and supported the steering wheel.
Early this morning, Jiang Chen left the Premier Palace Hotel and took a taxi to the place where he agreed to meet Nick. The pickup was bought from a local used car market, and at the moment the two were driving on the highway to Donetsk.
"That is to say, you were a government army?" Jiang Chen asked casually.
"It's true, it used to be." Nick grinned. "But the system has been lost, and it's not too much to say that it is a deserter."
"Is the combat strength of the government army very weak?"
"Very weak." Nick spit out a smoke ring and glanced at the truck passing by the window, full of wounded soldiers pulled back from the front.
"The soldiers’ combat effectiveness is uneven, and the high-level corruption is in the bones. More importantly, no one is willing to fight for this country. "
Western Ukraine used to be the border between the Soviet Union (CCCP) and NATO (NATO). The arms warehouse contains millions of tons of artillery shells, mines, bullets and other arms left over from the three major military regions of the former Soviet Union. Today, the Ukrainian army still uses these free ammunition depots. It is for this reason that Ukraine ’s national arms industry has declined to a terrible point. The Ukrainian "Phoenix" Homeland Defense Battalion even pulled the 122mm howitzer that had fired salutes over Kiev for decades, and the bank's money-carrying vehicle was used as an armored vehicle.
At the same time, the shortage of military funds also made soldiers unwilling to fight. The salary of a company commander is only equivalent to the monthly salary of a soldier in Kazakhstan in Central Asia, equivalent to more than 1,500 yuan in RMB, and it is not comparable to a waitress in a Chinese restaurant.
Wage levels are difficult to make ends meet, and training levels are low. It has become a trend to sell inventory weapons and equipment to subsidize households without permission. Ironically, when a lot of equipment on the front line was damaged and no new equipment could be added, ordinary people could buy an armored vehicle for $ 10,000.
This is the status quo of the Ukrainian army.
Reviewing the civilian armed forces. Well-equipped and high morale. Has strong firepower and armor. This war has fought for nearly a year. There has never been a shortage of civilian-armed ammunition, and the Ukrainian army, which is often hit by well-planned large-scale intensive shelling, is at a loss. It is said that 36,000 civilian armed forces contain 8,000 advanced heavy weapons of the Russian army. At the same time, according to US satellite shooting, the artillery positions deployed on the border between Russia and Ukraine opened fire at any time to provide support to the civilian armed forces.
"If everyone is fighting for this country, I won't be here." Jiang Chen shrugged, and then said, "At least, let those who have the ability to deserve their allegiance. And fight. "
If weapons and equipment can be bought, I believe that "buying people" is not difficult. Although in principle, it is impossible to sell the soldiers in service of a country to others as mercenaries, but after all, is it not in principle? Even tanks can be sold, what else can't be sold?
By the way, the reason why Jiang Chen did n’t buy a tank to go back is that on the one hand, the future tank is not burning oil, but a large fuel rod similar to power armor, and the high energy used by some magnetic levitation tanks. battery.
On the other hand, the armor of the world is "too thin" and the material grade is not at a level. It is no exaggeration to say that the assault infantry vehicle at the fish bone base can even match the German Leopard 2A6 main battle tank in terms of armor strength. Of course, the impact of armor inclination on shell penetration is not discussed here.
"Loyalty? Haha. There is nothing worthwhile or worthless, no one wants to fight. But the commission you give is indeed tempting, and the ten-year working period is not too harsh. At least sell your life, and you can get it when you retire Money to go to Europe to provide for old age. "Nick smiled.
One million dollars is enough for them to be smart.
The pickup truck is still driving on the highway, and the dark smoke is faintly visible in the distance. It is close to the front line, but this area is still safe.
But at this moment, the car in front stopped.
"Traffic jam?"
Nick frowned, and then stopped the car. Reaching to remove the cigarette **** and pressing it into the ashtray, he got out of the car and walked towards the car in front.
"What happened before?"
"I don't know, the car in front of me stopped, I can only stop with it." A Slavic guy got off the car in front of him, and I saw the same helpless expression on his face.
The car behind seemed to blew its horn, and people of unknown truth came down from the car and stretched their necks to look forward.
"Okay, guys, do n’t panic, please go back to the car and sit down. Our special forces are dealing with this little trouble, please keep calm." A soldier wearing green camouflage came from the front , Patting the roof of the car one by one, beckoning people to keep calm.
"I want to know, what's going on in front of me?" a chubby driver shouted his head out of the window with dissatisfaction.
"A shell hit a pit in the middle of the road, but it ’s just a dumb bullet. To ensure that it does n’t bloom when you pass by, our people are demolishing." The soldier shrugged and reached over. Leaning on the roof.
Honestly, it ’s really reassuring to see him look so relaxed.
"He was lazy and did not leave in a safe place after finishing the report. I have done this kind of thing several times." Nick scolded. Looking at the young face, he always felt that he saw himself.
Nick looked at Nick unexpectedly, and Jiang Chen thought he was the kind of meticulous person.
Because it ’s not worth fighting for it?
Thinking about it, Jiang Chen understood in seconds.
"Is this kind of dumb bullet very common on the front line?" Jiang Chen looked at the soldier who was driving a small mission and asked Nick casually.
"A lot." Nick, who was sitting back in the car, grinned, and took another time and place. "Both sides were splurging with the arms of the former Soviet Union, but these things have already passed. Shelf life has expired. Take the "Dot-U" tactical missile with a guaranteed life of only ten years. After leaving the launch vehicle, you do not know where it is flying. "
The soldier not far away was leaning against a car, smiling and chatting with the driver in the car, and he took over the smoke from the driver.
Jiang Chendi frowned, he was very worried about the fighting power of the Ukrainian army. If it is such a shame, he will not be given away in vain.
It seemed that Jiang Chen saw the concerns in his heart, and Nick smiled and said.
"It is estimated that he is a recruit. Maybe he was just an electrician yesterday. Today he was sent a gun to the front line to stand guard. It is normal to change his identity. Here, everything is possible."
"What about recruit training?" Jiang Chen asked quizzically.
"No money, no one is willing to get it. The Makanov we went to this time is a good person, and will not fool you with this kind of indiscriminate stuff. The Ukrainian army still has good players, My former army, although six out of ten are recruits, but the remaining four are good guys. Especially the old Cossack ghost, the marksmanship is really good. "
Jiang Chen fell into a brief silence, but thought of another problem.
"In this case, will he be a good player in the army to take it out?"
"Why not?" Nick shrugged. "War is not about one or two veterans. Moreover, you pay enough."
For that Makanov, Jiang Chen ’s bribe was also $ 1 million, paid in gold. What he needs to do is just pick a good person, sign a few more words, and issue a few proofs of the missing fighting.
At this moment, there was a deafening popping sound in the distance.
Small smoke rose, looking at the mess in the distance, many people issued an angry curse. Some people took out their phones and started taking pictures.
The soldier was obviously shocked by the explosion, and stared blankly at the front of the highway.
For a long time, the soldier looked at the Ukrainian driver who was just talking to him.
"Perhaps ... well, maybe our guy successfully detonated the dumb bomb?"
The car in front slowly moved.
The danger has been lifted. In any case, it is impossible for a bomb to explode twice.
Seeing that, Nick also started the car. Fortunately, there are not many vehicles on the road, and there is no large-scale congestion.
It's just that Jiang Chenyin glimpsed a vaguely flesh-and-blood remains while passing by that gritty crater.
"It seems that this special force has a special way of detonating dumb bullets."
When he heard that, Nick grinned slightly, and the language was slightly ironic. "Special forces? The only force worthy of this title has gone to Russia."
Just as the two had a chat, and they were passing the time, a white van was hanging behind them.
Dark glass blocks the scene in the car. If Jiang Chen sees the driver, he will surely show a surprised expression.
The blond, tall and beautiful woman was the Ukrainian girl who spoke to him yesterday afternoon. The only difference is that the tempting cardigan turned into a black canvas for combat.
"This is Silver Fox, the target has entered Donetsk region."
"Received, this is a vulture. Continue to plan B."
"Understood."
The bright red lips outline a strange smile. (To be continued.)
