Chapter 23 It's not a game, it's politics
Chapter 23 This is not a competition, it is politics
The plane landed at Tallinn Airport, the capital of Estonia. As soon as he walked out of the cabin, Wang Yunshan and other team members deeply experienced the gap between the Mediterranean climate and the monsoon climate; from the map, Tallinn, which is almost the same latitude as Yanjing, is really much warmer than Yanjing at this time.
"Welcome Captain Wang and all the team members to Estonia. I am Ma Wenjun, the head of the Republic's Embassy in Estonia." A middle-aged man with his head on his back said to Wang Yunshan, and behind him were several foreign officers.
"Hello Ambassador Ma." Wang Yunshan stepped forward and shook hands, looked at the several government cars driving into the airport, and thought that this was the one who came to pick them up.
"Haha, Captain Wang, I am just the early construction of the embassy and the temporary regional diplomatic supervisor. Our country has not yet sent an ambassador to Estonia. Come on, I will introduce these Estonian military generals and government officials to you first." Ma Wenjun explained with a smile, and then introduced the personnel on both sides; "Captain Wang, this is Colonel Lei Jian Kesdo, and the Estonian National Special Forces Force is under his leadership." After introducing several other welcoming personnel, Ma Wenjun finally introduced Lei Jian, with a very obvious intention; as a fellow traveler, you should talk a few more.
"Captain Wang is so young. Oh, the rank of major general. It seems that your country still attaches great importance to special forces." But beyond Ma Wenjun's expectations, Lei Jian actually said such a question worth discussing. Just when thinking about how to translate, Wang Yunshan beside him said in concise, but standard English: "How old is Captain Case, it is not too old. I think he should have been an excellent special forces soldier twenty years ago. Yes, the Republic has always attached great importance to the special forces cause. Isn't this the situation in your country?" Have you ever seen Wang Qibu suffer? So... "I hope your country's special forces trains are not practicing lip skills." It seems that Lei Jian, who has not gained a advantage in his mouth, should be an evil dog, otherwise why would he bite him first?
"Please rest assured, you have some differences in training methods between us and your country." Wang Yunshan said, and gave a smile that asked the other party to rest assured.
Because of the occasion and identity, Lei Jian Kesdo could not scold the streets, so silence became his only choice. However, his dark face and the veins that were constantly beating on his forehead still exposed the fact that a fire was attacking his heart.
Out of diplomatic etiquette, the Estonian welcome staff still shook hands with every member of the participating team of the Republic. However, the continuous force of both sides to increase their hands also made the smell of gunpowder in the air stronger and stronger.
"Captain Wang, it's a pity that you don't come to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Ma Wenjun, who was sitting next to Wang Yunshan in the car back to the embassy, said regretfully.
"Haha, Manager Ma, you're making fun of me. I can't do this with my unwillingness to suffer. Diplomats can't just quarrel, right?" Wang Yunshan, who seemed to be in a good mood, said with a smile.
"How could it be said that the difference between the industry is like the mountain? Unlike the art of compromise, diplomacy is really a game of 'who can not suffer losses'. And who said diplomats cannot just quarrel? The golden combination of Premier Zhou and Minister Chen was the one who was responsible for quarreling, and Premier Zhou was responsible for reasoning. In fact, diplomacy is like parents educating their children. If you want results, one must be a red face and the other must be a white face." Ma Wenjun said seriously.
"Haha, as you say so; can't all military officers in embassies of other countries be used as a blushing Guan Gongyu?" Wang Yunshan teased.
"This idea is good. I personally think it can be implemented and promoted. Even if you don't speak, as long as a soldier sits at the negotiating table and just look at the military uniform, our personnel will have confidence, and the other personnel will definitely be timid in their momentum." Ma Wenjun also joked according to Wang Yunshan's words. After the confrontation just now, Wang Yunshan's performance has indeed won Ma Wenjun's respect, which is also the main reason for the above unprepared and cordial conversation.
"Man, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Lei Jian Kesdo who rushed in angrily, his deputy Dika said inexplicably.
"Those damn Eastern monkeys, I must kick their ass hard with my boots during the game." Lei Jian said hatefully, "I don't seem to have a good mental quality."
"So you are ready to accept General Stoke's proposal?" Dika, who had roughly guessed what had just happened, then asked.
"I really want to agree that it should be something that everyone hopes for to teach those damn Eastern monkeys." Lei Jian obviously had his energy when he said this, but then he said rationally, "But we are the host country after all. If this matter is spread, no one can afford this political scandal."
"I'm going to say this is a bit of a big deal. Do you really think that a team that was officially formed before the start can do anything in this game?" Dika said disapprovingly.
"Comprehensively curbing China's rise has now been a consensus reached by many parties. They have developed too fast in recent years." Lei Jian said with some emotion. He remembered the words of Defense Minister Ni Yade, "This is not a competition, but a politics."
After a few days of rest, the day of the official competition has arrived. In a camp outside the forest more than 100 kilometers west of Tallinn, the Eighth Route Army has already stood in an orderly column, in order from right to left; the host country Estonia "Snow Lions", like the national flag of their country, each player has three mighty snow lions on the chest. The biggest advantage of this team is that they fight at home and are familiar with the terrain. However, this has not changed the fate of being the bottom in the past two competitions. So before the start of the game, they had already achieved the goal; defeated the "newcomer" of this competition, and then won the best record of sixth place in history.
The British "Beret", also known as "sas", was officially organized by the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment of the United Kingdom. This currently recognized world's first special forces was established during World War II. Its main function was to rescue Allied prisoners of war, assassinate, and harassment missions in the rear of the African Legion of Nazi Germany. Since World War II, it has been specially used to deal with extreme terrorists that ordinary police and even the army cannot cope with. Berets and winged dagger armbands are their best signs of recognition.
The Soviet Alpha Special Operations Team, all of which are big men like bears, are fully exposed to them. But if they are judged that they are not flexible enough because of their physical condition, then pray that you are not their enemy. In fact, whether it is moving quickly in the wild or crossing the house in the city, these guys can show the ape-like agility in the incredible eyes of others.
The German "gsg9" special forces are the abbreviation of the German Ninth Border Defense Brigade. In 1972, the Palestinian "Black September" organization hijacked and killed eleven Israeli athletes participating in the Olympic Games in Munich from the Munich Olympic Village, and the Bavarian police rescue operation ended in a complete defeat. This serious incident forced the International Olympic Committee to decide to suspend the Olympic Games in this world, which left an indelible shame to the German government. Therefore, the German government decided to form an anti-terrorism special forces, which is the origin of the "gsg9". The headquarters of the troops is located about three kilometers east of Ports, and the operation personnel have only been refined to about 350 people. Her biggest feature is that she is always in a state of combat. Her always tense nerves and strong combat effectiveness finally made her use of a beautiful Mojiadishu Airport anti-hijacking case to avenge the German government in Somalia five years after its establishment.
The "Seal" commando belongs to the US Navy, but it is not just a naval force. In fact, the "Seal" has developed to this day and has become an all-round special forces with land, sea and air amphibiousness. Of course, the reason why such achievements are inseparable from the strong economic and technological foundation of the United States. After all, it is enough to be able to "not short of money" to develop military affairs, not to mention that others can also develop it themselves. As for the will of soldiers, uh, you have found the wrong place. It can be said that the "Seal" is the most typical representative of all US troops.
"France has not only iron towers, but also thorns." This is a congratulatory message from the French president when the "Thorns" battle team was established. It was established almost at the same time as the "Beret". The "Thorns" battle team, which achieved the top three results in all international counter-terrorism exercises, is undoubtedly the pride of the French military. After successfully rescuing dozens of hostages, French media said, "they are the pioneers of the thorns."
"Mossad", a demon sword in the world's special forces. It never plays cards according to common sense and acts extremely vulgar, which made the Israelis award this title. The government ordered them to destroy the radar, but they stole the radar without any damage. The government ordered them to assassinate a Palestine politician, but they successfully bribed the politician as a loyal spy in Israel. "They are a group of naughty children, a group of children who will never listen to you. Fortunately, they can often surprise you." The Israeli president once acted like this after getting a cheap one.
"Did you see the deep forest ahead? That will be the place where you survive for 72 hours. Of course, the premise is that you have the strength to stay in it for so long. There are ten control stations in this deep forest. First, you must reach there in the blockade of other teams, and then complete twenty-two fixed-point competitions. There are no rules for the competition. Apart from not being able to kill people, you can do anything you think will be helpful to completing the mission from the beginning of entering the deep forest. The final winner will receive the highest honor of the special forces on this planet, the Karev Warrior Medal. Everyone, let's go to honor." Estonian Defense Minister Ni Yade announced the start of the competition.
After the eight teams entered the deep forest, Mashan was separated for a distance, and then no one ran desperately towards the control station marked on the map. After all, this was not a marathon, and the nearest control station was also seventy kilometers away. After exploring and moving forward for a while, Wang Yunshan finally figured out the intention of the Estonian military to set the arena in this deep forest, which was the extremely complex natural environment here.
"Company Commander, this road is too difficult to walk. Our marching speed is much slower than usual." Xu Wei, the deputy captain of the participating team, said with some concerns, six years ago.
"It's okay, we can't be slower, and others can't get faster. This makes me feel difficult to walk? If I'm right, there must be a more bumpy road ahead waiting for us." Wang Yunshan said while focusing on the road.
It seemed to be to verify Wang Yunshan's words, half an hour later, a large area of swamp lying in front of the Chinese team blocked the players' way.
