Firepower is king

The room is nice. The room is really nice. It has two separate bathrooms, a living room, and even two bedrooms. It even has a fully equipped kitchen and even a large balcony. Although you can only see the mountains at night, the starry sky is really beautiful. It's super pretty.

At least it was a dormitory with two bedrooms and two living rooms, which completely shocked Gao Guang.

"Is the treatment of your phantom troops so luxurious?"

Regarding Gao Guang's shock, Lei just shrugged easily, spread his hands, and said calmly: "You live in one of the best dormitories in this prison base. This was originally house No. 2, but he applied for transfer. That’s why you can live here, because only the four senior commanders in the base have the right to contact the outside world.”

It takes four commanders to communicate with the outside world. Gao Guang occupies a house with a telephone, which is a decent treatment.

Why this phenomenon occurs must have something to do with the US military system.

The highest military rank in the US military is a five-star general, but this is only awarded during a total war, so the current highest military rank in the US military is a four-star general.

There is nothing much to say at the general level, just general, lieutenant general, major general, and then brigadier general. But at the brigadier general level, it is just a carrot and a pit, and if you want to be promoted, you must get the approval of the president.

Then the question arises. Promotion from colonel to brigadier general can be said to be the biggest hurdle for professional soldiers in the US military. There are service time requirements, service experience requirements, and joint command experience requirements, that is, they must have commanded at least two Only through the actual combat of the military services can it be possible to cross the threshold from a school officer to a general officer.

If the special forces of other military services are of particularly high level, their commanders are often parachuted down. It is possible for a major general to be the chief officer, or even a lieutenant general to be the chief officer of a team of dozens of people. But when it comes to the phantom army, The top-level commanders of the Special Operations Command are only major generals, which locks the ceiling of this unit.

For pure special forces, junior officers are promoted very quickly, but promotion of senior officers is more difficult than that of ordinary troops. If the top commander of the Phantom Forces is stuck at the colonel level and has no hope of promotion, then it is impossible for this unit to attract the best. Talent.

If there is a problem with the top building of the Phantom Army and it becomes lifeless, then there will definitely be problems with this unit.

But what does any of this have to do with highlights? The answer is, of course, it doesn't matter.

Gao Guang has made a name for himself by relying on his good marksmanship. After fighting here and going through the motions, he can just survive this period of time. Is it possible that he still needs to solve problems for the Phantom Army?

The problem of the Phantoms is the problem of the US military system, which has no solution. Even if everyone knows where the problem is, but the military system cannot be changed, then the structural problems of this team cannot be solved.

Gao Guang saw several framed photos on the wall of the living room. They were not people, but photos of American warships, photos of the sea, and Navy recruitment photos.

The imprint of the Navy is so obvious and strong that photos are still left even after people leave. It seems that the second-in-command of the base who left is a phantom, and his heart is with the Navy.

Pointing to the photo on the wall, Gao Guang said casually: "Is the second in office from the Navy?"

"Yes, a colonel from the SEAL team, who has extremely rich combat experience and participated in many operations, applied for transfer, and finally the Navy finally transferred him back."

Lei sighed, and then said helplessly: "Our problem is that everyone is selected from all branches of the military, both officers and soldiers, and the Joint Special Operations Command is just a command organization, not a... …Wait you know this?”

Gao Guang was also shocked. He wanted to maintain his character as a reckless woman in front of Lei. Is it too high-end to talk to him now?

It should be noted that it is actually difficult to act like a fool, so you must always pay attention.

Gao Guang said carelessly: "This is something that even a fool can understand. Do you think I am a fool?"

Ray almost said yes.

Gao Guang continued to say with a nonchalant expression: "No. 2 is a colonel, and Mags is also a colonel. Well, which military branch did Mags come from? What about you? What's your military rank?"

Gao Guang was brazenly inquiring about what was supposed to be a top-secret secret, but he seemed unaware of it.

But after Lei hesitated for a moment, he finally said: "I am a lieutenant now. Colonel Magers and I are both from the Army, the Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. When he came here, he was the colonel commander, and I was a second lieutenant and colonel. I brought six people with me when I came here, and I was one of them.”

Gao Guang looked at Lei, and then he said with a puzzled face: "From the Army? Uh... okay."

Lei looked at Gao Guang, and Gao Guang looked at Lei. After a moment, Lei finally couldn't help but said, "You have nothing more to ask?"

"What does the 160th Aviation Regiment do? Why was it transferred to the Phantom? Does the Phantom have bombers?"

Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The main delivery method of the Phantom is helicopter landing, and the 160th Aviation Regiment mainly studies this. Also, we are the Army Aviation, not the Air Force, so how can we have bombers."

"Oh, where to eat?"

Lei was shaken by the highlight for a moment, and he said in shock: "Eating? Well, it's indeed time to eat, but you changed the subject too quickly."

With a bitter smile, Lei said helplessly: "We have to dress uniformly here. I have to go back and change my clothes. Then I have to get your pass. Just wait for me. Uh, you can make a call now or something." ”

Gao Guang nodded, and then he suddenly said: "Didn't you say that someone needs to be supervised when contacting the outside world? Can I make a call after you leave? Is that okay?"

Lei smiled, shook his head helplessly, and then he whispered: "I'm going to get the clothes and the pass, and then we're going to eat, soon, don't go out, wait for me."

Lei went out, he closed the door, Gao Guang took a breath, and then he looked at his room again.

It is unlikely that there is surveillance in the room. As for the phone, it goes without saying that it must be monitored.

Gao Guang went over and picked up the phone receiver. He hadn't used a landline phone in many years, and the number was written on the phone, which was quite thoughtful. After thinking about it, he dialed John's mobile phone number.

Waiting for the call to be connected, Gao Guang said calmly: "Hi, Bottle Cap, I'm a mad dog. Remember this number. If there is anything particularly important, just call me on this number. Don't ask me where I am. Don't ask me where I am." Ask me what I’m doing. Don’t call me if it’s not important. Do you understand what I mean?”

The nickname was spoken directly instead of the name, which was not a hint but an explicit statement. In addition, Gao Guang's words were clear enough, but John was still confused and asked: "What do you mean?"

Thinking that the smartest person under his command was Mike, who had been taking psychotropic drugs for a long time, Gao Guang also felt that he had failed enough as a boss.

"It means that neither my mobile phone nor the satellite phone can get through. If you need to call me for anything, you have to call this number. But don't call this number casually. Only call this number if it's urgent. Brothers, if you have anything, call you. You can call me again, because This phone call is being monitored, do you understand now?"

"Oh, got it, okay, I get it."

Gao Guang sighed and said, "Don't say things you shouldn't say. I'm hanging up the phone."

Gao Guang decided to let Francisco's cousin come as soon as possible, but it was not convenient to say this here.

Francisco has said several times that his cousin should join the King's Defense, but his brother is still in school to get a degree, and the King's Defense has been floating outside, so the matter has been delayed, but now, After Gao Guang felt that he needed a smart person to help him, the matter suddenly became urgent.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Guang casually walked around the room and turned on all the lights. Then in just five minutes, Lei came again carrying a large duffel bag commonly used by the US military.

"(There are two sets of training uniforms inside. There are no rank marks and no regular uniforms. Everyone is the same. If you see someone wearing other clothes, then they are base logistics personnel."

The ACU camouflage and high-gloss look are quite ugly, but since everyone is wearing this, of course he won't refuse.

Lei put a green sign on his clothes and said: "This is your identification card. As a member outside the base, you must put this access card in your breast pocket. This card is also the one you use to enter this room." key."

Gao Guang nodded and said: "The green one is okay, as long as the hat is not green. Well, wait for me, I will change clothes."

I found a bedroom, put on my clothes, and hung the pass on my chest. When the highlights came out, I said casually: "Can I make a call later?"

"Well, okay."

"What am I doing here?"

Lei frowned again, and said with a helpless look: "Can you please stop jumping into this topic? I just want you to show off your skills in indoor combat with a pistol. Frankly speaking, I am the pistol shooting instructor of this base. But I admit I’m not as good as you.”

"Oh, instructor?"

Gao Guang raised his hand casually, patted Lei's shoulder hard, then put his hand on Lei's shoulder, and said with a provocative face: "Let's go back and compete."

Lei helplessly pushed away Gao Guang's hand on his shoulder and said, "This is not what I asked you to do. I want you to show it off and see if I can learn anything from you." J.

"Then tomorrow, I will show you what it means to be invincible in close combat, tell you how powerful I am, and arrange a few opponents for me and let me defeat you."

Lei couldn't help laughing, then he shook his head and said: "We want to learn any skills that can promote the progress of Phantom, but... you are thinking too much now. With all due respect, you are a little naive."

"Am I naive?"

Lei said calmly: "You are just a good pistol shooter, but that doesn't mean you are invincible. Man, for the sake of the money, I will give you a piece of advice. If you keep being so arrogant, you will suffer."
