Steel Soviet Union

"Mr. Major, we can't stay here any longer. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We have to go a little further forward so that we can take valuable photos. We can't record anything with just a telescope at this location.

""

With a strange look on his face, Major Kovanov looked quietly at the American reporter next to him who was talking blindly. After making sure that the other party was serious and not joking with him, Major Kovanov realized that he had to teach this American a lesson, and then he spoke slowly.

"Mr. Jefferson, did you make a mistake? The scene you saw in the telescope was a real battlefield, not a toy you played with your son in a gunfight. Those scumbags were not next to your house either. Kind and friendly neighbors, the guns in their hands can kill you at any time, even so, do you still want to go up and take a look? "

Even though he had said this, it was obvious that Major Kovanov still underestimated the boldness of the American journalist leader, and his next actions were even more unexpected.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Major, I have someone I want to introduce to you."

"David, come here, come over here"

Before Jefferson could even finish his words, a man was carrying a camera and a shoulder bag, which were filled with content related to unknown media workers. He looked like a busy postman, more like a messenger. A young man who was a serious reporter immediately ran over. He was standing not far from Jefferson and Major Kovanov.

"What do you need me to do? Sir."

"Sir?"

Putting aside what other aspects of this young man are like, this strange title alone made Major Kovanov frown, but he had never heard of people in the media industry being accustomed to calling their superiors "sir" of.

"Introduction, this is my assistant, David Derrick."

"David, this is Major Kovanov, our security chief and team leader. Now we officially know each other."

Jefferson made a not-so-good "first impression" on Major Kovanov, but he didn't know whether he didn't know or didn't care about it at all, but he still willingly acted as an "introducer". They took the initiative to introduce David and Major Kovanov to each other.

Before Major Kovanov showed anything or responded, David, who was "aware" of the situation, had already taken the lead and spoke quietly.

"Hello, Mr. Major. I am David Derrick, Mr. Jefferson's assistant and trainee reporter."

"Assistant? Trainee reporter???"

It is true that what the young man in front of him does, where he comes from, and his current position and status have nothing to do with Major Kovanov.

But even so, Major Kovanov was still surprised that Jefferson actually led a young boy, a mere trainee reporter, onto the battlefield to record and conduct interviews in such a dangerous place.

According to common understanding, shouldn't this advanced and difficult interview be handled by veterans in this field? What does it mean to drag an intern and a young boy to the battlefield? And you even put it here to recommend it to yourself?

Major Kovanov realized that something was wrong. There was some secret behind the abnormal appearance that he didn't know. There was a high probability that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Soon, Major Kovanov's guess was confirmed. It was even more surprising that Jefferson's next words were true. It could even be said that "all three views were shattered."

"Forgive me, Mr. Major, but please don't underestimate David."

"He is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. He has participated in actual combat before. He has seen blood and bayonets with those bow-legged Japanese monkeys on the Pacific battlefield. Because one of his ears was blown off, the military doctor judged him as missing. Half of the hearing was unfit for further service. After recovering from the injury, he could no longer return to the army and chose to retire. "

"I like David's excellent qualities. He is an outstanding young man with rich practical experience. He is a tenacious retired U.S. Marine Corps soldier. I believe he can use his expertise on the battlefield. , if we want to conduct an in-depth interview, I am afraid there is no one more suitable than him.”

"If you trust him, you can even give him a gun. He will protect himself while completing the photo shoot. You don't need to worry too much, let alone be distracted by him. All you need to do is bring him to the line of fire. , give him sufficient instructions and guidance. David has good obedience. He is a true soldier and will definitely carry out your orders and requirements without compromise. "

"Believe me, Mr. Major, there is no more suitable candidate than him."

"David can complete the task well alone without me sending more people, which is why I brought him here. David is eager to do something and bring hope of life to his difficult family. This It is also his personal strong wish, and I hope you can agree. This is also part of our cooperation, isn’t it?”

Jefferson, an old fox, said both soft and hard words.

First, all kinds of rationality and the principles of public and private affairs were explained one after another. Finally, he did not forget to remind him that this is "part of the content of cooperation between the two parties."

If a soldier with a bad temper listens to this, if he can't protect everything, he will be regarded as "What's the matter? You are bullying me for being a low-level person, and you are cooperating with your superiors to suppress me, right?" For a moment, my blood surged and my head felt hot, and it was possible for me to break up the conversation on the spot.

It's a pity that Major Kovanov is not such a person.

Maturity and stability are the characteristics of his character. He puts the overall situation first, fulfills his duty as a soldier, and prioritizes executing orders and completing tasks no matter where he is. These are his most outstanding qualities.

something about this

Not only Malashenko, who assigned Major Kovanov the task, but also Jefferson, who was good at observing and accustomed to studying human nature, also knew. It is not difficult for an old fox who has been in the media dye vat for many years and has been exposed to basically all kinds of people. It is not difficult to see through a simple and pure soldier, and he knows how to use this to his own advantage.

And this is the main reason why Jefferson dared to say this and use the high-sounding "two-way cooperation" to suppress others.

He believed that his judgment was not wrong, and Major Kovanov's answer after taking a deep breath was slightly different from what he expected, but the overall direction was as expected.

"No, I don't agree with this in principle."

"He is deaf in one ear, and he was discharged after being judged by military doctors as unfit to continue fighting on the battlefield. Now you are going to throw him back into the battlefield? And if what you said is true, have you ever considered it? Have you considered the rationality of this for a heroic veteran who sacrificed his life for your motherland? Is this how you are responsible for your subordinates?"
