Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

1746 Can't understand American English

The air battle had just begun, and when the six planes were still engaged in a low-altitude dogfight, the ground troops on both sides of the war were a little worried.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that with the unprecedented concentration of troops on both sides, a big war is about to break out, and it may also be a battle that determines the fate of Brazil in the future. At this time, both parties participating in the war must hope that their side's fighters can win and bring great benefits to the upcoming battle.

A good sign.

In this regard, the foreign devils are actually more superstitious than the Chinese.

So when two "Cerberus" were shot down, one was blown up in the air, and the last one fled in a hurry, the Mizhou Army burst into loud cheers, and the soldiers sang and danced, only to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers.

Then there was an unexpected gain. The air battle broke out in the blank area between the government army and the Mizhou Army. The two parachuting pilots parachuted in the center of the government army positions and the Mizhou Army positions. Before Karl could react, Anthony

He called to the soldiers and set off immediately.

"Enough, enough, enough, let's go arrest people. Every one we can catch will be one," Anthony howled wildly. The superiors informed him not to shoot at the pilot, but they didn't say not to arrest them.

According to legend, the cost of training a pilot requires gold equal to the pilot's weight. Isn't the purpose of mercenaries fighting for money?

The equipment of the Mizhou Army is quite good. In view of the poor traffic conditions in Brazil, Nyasaland Automobile customized a crawler motorcycle for the Mizhou Army. This motorcycle uses a motorcycle engine and has almost no defense at all, because

The tracked vehicle has strong off-road performance and can ignore almost any road conditions. Unfortunately, the loading capacity is a bit poor, and it can only seat one soldier in addition to the driver.

Anthony brought four of these crawler motorcycles with him when he set out. Although according to the standard, they could only carry one soldier, but there were no traffic police on the battlefield to check for overcrowding, so they must be able to carry as many as they could.

So a total of 14 people were crowded on the four motorcycles. Karl reacted a little slowly but did not squeeze in. Seeing that the four motorcycles disappeared in the blink of an eye, emitting black smoke, Karl could only jump on his feet to greet the armored vehicle.

Forget about trucks, since we are robbing people, the key is speed.

Only after the Mizhou Army's motorcycles set off did the chaotic government troops react.

These pilots of the government army are indeed "hired" from the United States. Americans are already very arrogant in Brazil, and American soldiers are even more arrogant and unreasonable. Among all American soldiers, pilots are at the top of the food chain, so

We can’t afford to offend any uncle, so we must rescue the American uncle as soon as possible.

But the two legs really couldn't run on the tracks. The government army had just rescued a parachuting pilot, and the other pilot had been put on a motorcycle by the Mizhou Army. The government army officer suddenly became anxious.

"Shoot, shoot, get this person back," the government officer said in panic.

"No, no, no, you can't shoot, it will accidentally injure our pilots." The pilot who had just been rescued firmly objected. On the battlefield, there are no weapons and no eyesight. If you are captured by the Mizhou Army, just be a prisoner. For the sake of God, I hope the Mizhou Army can give the pilot a hand.

Treatment that matches your status.

As a result, during the dispute between the two, the Mizhou Army's crawler motorcycle drove away with the captured pilot.

So Tom from California became the first American captured in the Brazilian Civil War.

"Tom, the Americans are right," Carl said with certainty.

"Why?" Anthony was really curious. Carl only heard Tom's name and decided that Tom was an American.

"If he is British, then his name should be William." Karl said proudly. These are all knowledge points.

"Then the German should be called Karl" Anthony looked disgusted.

But it's true, Karl is indeed German.

"No, Germans can also be called Mark!" Karl said confidently.

Tom looked at the brainless duo with a look of helplessness on his face. Are all southern Africans so weird?

"Where are you from?" Carl asked Tom to confirm.

"American, California, USA" Tom answered honestly.

"Where is California?" Anthony asked Carl with a confused face on the way to send Tom to the headquarters.

"Next to New York," Carl said nonsense seriously. He has never been to the United States. God knows where California is.

"California is not next to New York. New York is on the east coast and California is on the west coast." Tom couldn't help but corrected while sitting on the floor of the armored vehicle.

When he was captured, Tom was extremely scared. If the Mizhou Army determined that Tom was a mercenary, then the Mizhou Army could shoot Tom directly without taking any responsibility.

The status of mercenaries on the battlefield is so low.

As a result, Tom discovered that the Mizhou Army soldiers did have evil intentions and looked at Tom with eyes as fierce and sharp as a lion's.

Fortunately, there are Karl and Anthony. They have seen the world and know how valuable a pilot is. After catching the person, they will immediately send him to the headquarters in the rear.

Tom is an American and has no sense of loyalty to Brazil, so when he was arrested, he did not resist at all, so he was not mistreated by Anthony. After being disarmed, he was thrown directly into the armored vehicle without even being tied up with ropes.

Of course, don't expect the treatment to be very good. The space inside the armored vehicle is narrow. Karl and Anthony sat on the seats, while Tom could only sit on the floor.

"Shut up, I didn't ask you to speak, so you are not allowed to speak." Karl was angry. As a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of being a prisoner.

Tom shut up obediently, but the expression on his face was very unconvincing.

Tom is not stupid if he can become a pilot. The two officers in front of him are obviously not Brazilians at all, so they must be mercenaries of the Umbrella Company.

Hum hum, Southern Africans!

Tom decided that if there was a chance to capture the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company in the future, he would also leave a way for the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company to survive.

To be honest, when he learned that Karl and Anthony were both from southern Africa, Tom's inner humiliation was miraculously lessened.

If he loses to the Brazilians, then Tom will probably be dissatisfied.

If he loses to the southern Africans, then Tom can still accept it.

After all, the quality of the Mizhou Army's aircraft is relatively good.

The technology of the Southern African Air Force is relatively advanced, so there is no reason to complain if it loses to such an opponent.

"You're an American, why did you come to Brazil?" Carl saw that Tom was interested in communicating, so he was still willing to chat with Tom.

"Didn't you southern Africans come to Brazil too?" Tom said angrily. Why do southern Africans come to Brazil? That's why Americans come to Brazil.

"We came to Brazil to help Brazilians, and we want to bring peace to Brazil!" Carl said forcefully.

"Uh" Tom made a slightly disgusted expression, "Hey, you said my lines, what do you want me to say?"

"What's your expression?" Karl was very angry.

Next to him, Anthony pulled out the dagger with a dark look on his face.

Tom was immediately startled. Chatting is fine, but a gentleman should talk but not use his hands.

The headquarters was not far from the frontline position. When the armored vehicle arrived at the headquarters, Tom was sent to a tent to wait. Carl and Anthony happily went to collect their bonuses. The pilots were indeed very valuable.

Tom was bored in the tent. In order to prevent Tom from doing stupid things, there were two soldiers with live ammunition staring at Tom opposite Tom.

"I'm a little thirsty, can you give me a glass of water?" Tom tried to ask.

The two soldiers stared at Tom like idiots without saying a word.

"Can you understand English?" Tom continued.

The two soldiers still didn't say a word.

"What a fool," Tom sighed. It was really painful not being able to communicate.

At this time, Tom suddenly saw a soldier moving his wrist.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant." Tom was horrified. He didn't speak English earlier. What a cheater.

As a result, the soldier moved his wrist and remained motionless in the original position.

Tom was overjoyed, but at this moment he found himself a little anxious.

"Sorry, I want to go to the bathroom." Tom suddenly realized the fact that they couldn't speak English, so

"Sorry, I want to go to the bathroom and can't hold it in." Tom had a very bad premonition.

Some people can hold back physiological reactions for a long time, while others can't hold them back for even a minute. Unfortunately, Tom falls into the latter category.

"Sorry", when Tom requested for the third time, his butt had already left the chair.

"Sit back! Don't move!" the soldier finally said.

Tom didn't understand a word, but it didn't seem to be Portuguese.

"Sorry" Tom's legs were already twisted together.

The soldier shouted again.

"Please, let me go to the toilet." Tom felt that he was on the verge of losing control.

The soldier looked at Tom coldly and said nothing.

"You two bastards" Tom finally couldn't help it

The disgusted expressions on the two soldiers' expressions made Tom feel heartbroken. The dignity of the American soldiers was being trampled ruthlessly on the ground, and Tom felt like he was bruised all over.

At this time, Karl and Anthony walked in. They had already received the money and were going back to the front line. They came to say goodbye to Tom and thank him by the way.

As mentioned above, the rewards for capturing pilots are very generous.

Then Karl and Anthony saw a scene that surprised them extremely.

"What's going on?" Karl asked curiously.

"No problem, this guy just scolded us," the soldier finally said, and this time Tom understood, because both the soldier and Carl spoke in English.

"You obviously know English, why did you do that just now?" Tom looked sad and angry. He didn't expect that a living person could really be suffocated to death by something like that.

The soldier sneered and ignored Tom at all.

"Why?" Karl curiously poked the soldier who was looking at the sky with his finger.

"He speaks American English, so I don't understand him," the soldier sighed quietly.

this

Are the differences between American English and British English so great that there is a language barrier?

Karl and Anthony turned around and left, completely unable to understand the soldier's bad taste.

Moreover, the smell in the tent was indeed not very good. When Carl left the tent, he kindly opened the door curtain to disperse the smell, but Tom immediately shouted in a tearful voice: "Can you close it?"

That’s right, it’s even worse if people see it.
