Soviet Godfather

Alexander Popov was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the old housekeeper Sharapov's house. On the tea table in front of him were neatly and regularly placed more than a dozen parts of firearms. On his left was a timer device. Alexander Popov took a deep breath, pressed the timer with his left hand, quickly picked up the parts on the coffee table with both hands, and assembled them leisurely. First insert the barrel and spring on the gun rack, then install the bolt from the back, then install the launch assembly from below, then the butt guard, and then install the disassembly pin, then continue to install the scope and clip. Then the bolt was pulled, and a complete Soviet-made Dragunov SVD sniper rifle was held by Alexander Popov. Alexander Popov stopped the timer, fifteen seconds, and the whole action was done in one go.

Alexander Popov put the gun on his shoulder and observed the scenery outside the window through the scope. An old man smoking in the distance attracted him. He pointed the scope at the guy and saw the old man smoking , while walking, the expression on his face is calm and happy. Alexander Popov's muzzle followed him, and just as the old man was about to disappear from his view, Alexander Popov pulled the trigger.

There was the sound of the firing pin striking in the barrel, but the bullet did not go out, there was no bullet in the magazine, Alexander Popov just wanted to try the gun. Aleksander Popov laughed from the empty room. He picked up his cigarette, which was in the ashtray, and took a deep drag. Then pull out the disassembly pin, and this Dragunov SVD sniper rifle becomes parts again.

Alexander was very interested in firearms when he was young, but the first time he killed someone with a gun was after immigrating to Israel from the Soviet Union. At that time, he was just in his early twenties. Gibbutz farms live a commune-style collective life. The Jibbutz where Alexander lived happened to be on the front line of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At that time, the people living in the Jibbutz needed to be on guard against Palestinian attacks from time to time. A young man like Alexander will naturally be the main force to defend Gibbutz. Therefore, in addition to daily farm labor, Alexander also received militarized training from the Israel Defense Forces.

Alexander quickly showed his talent in shooting. He achieved excellent results in training and could accurately shoot a target 200 yards away. In a semi-human target test with a perfect score of 50, Alexander got 48 point. The Israel Defense Forces took great interest in him, and Alexander joined the army as a matter of course. After the establishment of the Palestinian armed force "Fatah" in 1964, armed personnel from "Fatah" continued to attack the Gibbutz where the Jews lived, and the security situation suddenly became tense. The first time Alexander accepted a mission, he was ordered to go to the area where the Palestinians lived to carry out a pre-emptive revenge operation to attack a small leader of Fatah. This should not have been carried out by a rookie recruit, but the situation was tense at the time, so the senior management had to send out even a rookie like him who had just finished training.

At that time, Alexander wore a black and white checkered turban and disguised himself as a Palestinian peasant to sneak into an abandoned prison cell that had been bombed. There were few people there and it was a good hiding place. According to the intelligence description, the target of the pressure Alexander may enter a residential building opposite him to attend an important meeting, but no one can say when the target task will come, what Alexander can do every day Just wait patiently.

Waiting is boring, because you don't know when the end will be. The expectations when you accept the task are worn away by time. It is worse than being in jail. You can only look at the same scenery every day, even The passing clouds will bring him great happiness. Alone and lonely tormented Alexander, and almost every day he asked himself what was the point of waiting.

The building where Alexander is lurking is located at a T-junction,

One of the houses in the horizontal row is where the target will appear, and the vertical road leads to the ruins. It can be seen that there should also be a residential area. Not many people appear on this vertical road every day, and among them is a pair of brothers and sisters. Every afternoon, a lovely Palestinian boy would lead his sister to the ruins to pick up some wood and go home. The reason why the siblings caught Alexander's attention was that the little girl resembled Alexander's sister. Yes, Alexander once had a younger sister, but unfortunately, his younger sister died before reaching adulthood. At that time, the family was still living in Harbin, probably because the mother was displaced during pregnancy, and the younger sister was weak and sick since she was a child. Alexander still remembers how his younger sister looked when she was ill. The frown and pale face that were frowning because of pain have always been deeply imprinted in the mind of the stressed Alexander.

The appearance of the siblings gave Alexander, who was struggling in loneliness, great comfort, and even made Alexander feel the warmth of his family when he was a child. Every afternoon, the little boy would hold his sister's hand and walk towards the ruins, rummaging through a pile of bricks and rubble for wood. They have little strength, so they can only hold small pieces of wood at a time. After getting enough wood, the brothers and sisters will rest there for a while. Every day, Alexander would close the safety of the gun and watch them through the scope.

Just when he thought that such days would continue, things changed. It was also an afternoon, and a large number of people suddenly appeared in the house where the target would appear in the intelligence. Alexander knew that the important moment was coming. Sure enough, around three o'clock in the afternoon, the car of the target person arrived at the door of the house. The guy was dressed like the ordinary residents around him, and he would not have recognized him unless he looked at his appearance. Originally, when the target task left the car, it was the best opportunity. Unfortunately, there were too many people around, and Alexander was a rookie at that time, so he did not seize this opportunity. The guy walked into the room in a flash.

Alexander watched the house nervously, concentrating on it, and time was advancing non-stop. The brother and sister came here to pick up wood as usual, but now Alexander couldn't care about them anymore. At this time, there was a continuous sound of shelling in the distance. The people in the room probably felt that the situation was not good, and began to leave one after another. The siblings also started walking back. At this critical moment, Alexander didn't notice that a scorpion crawled onto his hand and bit him hard.

The gun in Alexander's hand flickered, and the reflection of the scope hit the little boy's eyes. He found Alexander. The little boy pulled his sister and ran to the intersection, yelling. The little boy obviously wanted to report. The sudden change made Alexander a little flustered. Fortunately, the sound of the cannon muffled the boy's voice, and the people who came out of the house found nothing.

Alexander was in a dilemma. He couldn't let the two children report the news, so he raised the muzzle of the gun, but he couldn't press the trigger. At this moment, the target person's car drove up to the door, and he couldn't wait any longer. Alexander felt that he was having difficulty breathing, and suddenly a gunshot sounded. He looked at the trigger he pressed in surprise. Alexander's stung hand was a little out of control. The little girl fell into a pool of blood, and the little boy successfully ran to the intersection. . Crying, pointing at the building and yelling, then ran back to my sister.

Alexander felt hopeless and the mission failed. This was the first person Alexander killed.
