Then, not surprisingly, Kai and his team were imprisoned.
But Kai didn't care much, even though the matter was indeed serious. In the army, there is a clear hierarchy of superiority and inferiority, and there is no room for sloppiness. The army is a symbol of order! A second lieutenant and a group of soldiers severely wounded a lieutenant general. This was a serious violation of military discipline, and could lead to imprisonment, to shooting, without any mercy.
But how can I put it, not everything in this world will follow the rules and regulations. Specific matters must be analyzed in detail.
First of all, Kai Zhanli! Although this seems a bit ridiculous. But looking at it at this moment, it is extremely important. When it comes to violating military regulations, Ross, the grandson, was the first to violate military regulations! After Sage and the others revealed their identities, he continued to attack, resulting in the goat being killed. Afterwards, Kai led his team to counterattack and killed dozens of soldiers led by Ross!
After all, these dozens of people are all Ross's fault!
Now Kai has seriously injured Rose and things are getting serious. Once investigated, Ross will not be able to escape. Don't talk about Ross's high position, but there are things he can do, but he can't say. Now that things are getting serious, Ross will have to go to a military court first once he goes through formal channels.
Secondly, and this is the most important point, Kai is not alone!
Kai has been in the army for five years and has outstanding military exploits. He is well-known throughout the Special Forces Command, and the Special Reaction Force is directly under the command, so many big shots know Kai. Many people are also very optimistic about Kai's future. He himself also has good personal relationships with some big guys.
For example, Hawke's predecessor, Kay's former boss, General Colton, is now the current commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command and has a good personal relationship with Kay.
In addition to personal connections, there is also the military's unique culture of protecting shortcomings. As a subordinate of General Hawke and an old subordinate of General Colton, no matter what Kai did, as long as it was not treason, they must stand up to protect Kai.
This kind of thing is actually very common. For example, in many U.S. bases in other countries, the U.S. military can always cause some trouble there. But has anyone ever seen a U.S. soldier who committed a crime being arrested by the local government? Don't the commanders of those soldiers know what bad things their soldiers have done? Of course they knew, but the commanders of those bases were unable and unwilling to deal with it impartially. If an officer doesn't protect his weaknesses, how can his soldiers follow him?
Especially for front-line combat units like the Special Operations Command, once the people below are attracted to the people at the top, the impact will be huge!
Therefore, whether it is reasonable or not is secondary. What really matters is whether Kai has support. If Kai is just a loner, then don't say anything and just wait to die! Ross had a thousand ways to kill him, and there was no need for a military court.
About a week later.
"Oh...why are you so impulsive?" This incident still alarmed General Colton, Kai's old boss. After all, Ross was a lieutenant general. He was beaten by a second lieutenant and sent to the intensive care unit. This incident had a huge impact. . So when he saw Kai, the first thing General Colton said was that Kai was impulsive.
Of course, that's all. General Colton did not feel that Ross should not fight. He killed one of their men, what's wrong with beating him up? After all, it's Ross who doesn't know how to do things! His men had identified themselves, but Ross still opened fire. What did it mean?
In fact, Rose's actions also made Rose's faction very dissatisfied. Now that things are like this, they still need to exchange benefits with the Special Operations Command. Instead of doing this, they might as well not have exchanged fire with the Special Response Team in the first place. The result will be the same, and they won't need to lose so many people!
Kai didn't say anything and had nothing to say. Now it's up to them, the upper-class bosses, to negotiate.
"Have I been punished?" Now that General Colton is here, it means that the wrangling has come to an end.
General Colton looked at this capable subordinate and felt really uncomfortable. "Yes……"
In his opinion, Kai was only twenty-six years old and had a great future.
General Colton even originally planned to transfer Kai to NATO's special forces. This is a newly established force led by the United States and a brand new special force formed by drawing elite troops from NATO countries. In addition to safeguarding the interests of NATO countries, this force also has another task, which is to restrain S.H.I.E.L.D.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was originally a scientific force, run by Howard Stark, the founder of the Stark Group. After World War II, this scientific force gradually transformed into a private intelligence department, although the government later became involved in S.H.I.E.L.D. SHIELD has transformed SHIELD into an official military operations organization and intelligence agency similar to the FBI and CIA. However, in fact, the US government's control of SHIELD is very shallow.
In order to balance this increasingly large organization, the US government has long wanted to establish a new organization. It was just due to various political reasons that it took until five years ago to finally take shape.
.JOE——Specially trained special death squad.
General Colton has been doing this work since he became the commander of Special Operations Command, and now this force has taken shape. Colton had wanted to recruit his old subordinates, Major General Hawke and Kai, into this force a long time ago. This unit is destined to have a bright future. As long as Kai settles down for a few years and has enough qualifications, like Hawke, there will be no problem at all in becoming a general officer before the age of forty.
But now...
"You have to retire..." This is the most ideal result reached by Colton and Rose's faction leaders after intense negotiations. Originally, Rose's faction planned to send Kai to a military court, or at least throw him into prison.
But the Special Operations Command disagreed with anything they said, and they made it very clear. If Kay is court-martialed or jailed, then Ross, the bastard, needs to be treated the same way. The Secret Service also supported Kay in this regard. In any case, Kai was confronting Ross because he was commissioned by the Secret Service.
What's more, if Ross succeeded and killed Benjamin, the Secret Service would be under the greatest pressure. It's an absolute disaster for the Secret Service when a presidential candidate is killed while under their protection. Although Ross's faction later smoothed over the Secret Service through profit transfer, this does not mean that the Secret Service forgot about the incident.
So in the end, Kai, Saji, Duke, and Portman were forced to retire, while Imp and Destroyer did not participate in the fight because of injuries. Well... yes, this incident was classified as a fight, so the two of them escaped. After a disaster, he was left in the army.
"Retirement..." Kai actually knew that this was the best outcome. He beat a lieutenant general, but the result was just retirement, which was already a very light punishment. But even so, Kai was still a little reluctant to leave. After all, he had been here for five years and suddenly asked him to leave. For a while, he really couldn't think of what he should do.
Back to England? Kai had no intention of doing so. When he goes back, things and people are different, and any place in this world is a foreign country to him.
"Forget it, don't think about it, go back and have a good rest for a while. Maybe I will recruit you back after a while." Colton comforted.
His words were really just comfort. As long as Ross was alive for one day, it was probably impossible for Kai to return to the US military. There was no other way. You must know that Rose, who woke up from the intensive care unit yesterday, fainted from anger again after hearing the treatment plan for Kai and the others. After waking up today, he was still making trouble.
This guy was really miserable. He had a fractured mandible, severe concussion, three broken ribs, one leg and two arms were broken, and even the balls on his crotch were removed... there was nothing he could do if he didn't remove them. Portman's kick was so cruel that both of his balls were rotten...
If it hadn't been for the doctor's help, this guy almost wouldn't have been able to survive.
In this way, if Ross can put things past his past and let Kai return to the army, he will be a saint in this world.
"Anyway, go back and have a good rest. You haven't been back to your hometown for a few years."
Even if Colton didn't say it, Kai had really forgotten that Kai inherited Adam's identity and everything about Adam. Adam has a small fortune in his hometown.
****************
A month later, Kay, Sage, and Portman returned to Windham, Minnesota.
Duke was not with them. Duke was back in Washington, where he still had family. His mother was waiting for him with her daughter. Sage is a fellow countryman from Kay, while Portman is homeless. This guy's parents are not good people, they are either drug addicts or bastards. His mother died of a drug overdose more than ten years ago. As for his father... according to him, only the devil knows who his father is. The only thing he knows is that his father is not a black man...because he has no black blood.
In short, Portman had nowhere to go with his severance package, so he simply followed Kai back to his hometown.
Kai's home is in the Catalan area of Wyndham City, a typical wealthy area. Saji's home is in Garter Town, a suburb of Wyndham City.
So the three decided to go to Sage's house first, and then return to Kai's house in Windham City.
Windham City is very close to the border with the United States and Canada. It is in the northwest of Minnesota and very close to Lake Superior. Garder Town is north of Windham City. It was originally an aboriginal settlement area, but because of its large forests, Many white people also live there.
The Saji family owns a forest and runs a lumber mill.
The population of the town was not large. When they drove to the town, there were no people on the streets. Saji was very excited. He had not been back for six years. The last time he went home was before he entered the special response force.
On the way here, Sage kept telling Kay and Portman about his hometown and how welcoming the people were. As a result, I came here and drove for a long time, but I didn't even see a ghost.
"Um...Saji...are you sure we're in the right place? Where are the enthusiastic aborigines you mentioned? Where are the beer and barbecue you mentioned?" Portman looked at the bleak scene outside the window with a suspicious look on his face. Saji.
Saji said before that Jiade Town is a prosperous town with warm people and many enthusiastic aborigines...
But now this place is similar to some bankrupt ghost town.
"Shouldn't it?" There is no manufacturing industry in Jiade Town, but because of the indigenous people and its proximity to Lake Superior, they make a living from timber and fishing, plus a little bit of tourism. Although it is impossible to get rich, the town's development good.
"Forget it for now, Saji, where is your home?" Kai inherited Adam's memory. In his memory, Jiade Town is indeed a good town, but now they don't seem to need to care about the changes here.
Saji could only let go of the matter and let Kai drive the car to his hometown.
On the way to his home, Saji was surprised to see that his family's logging factory was closed. This is a factory built by his grandfather's generation. It usually produces some wood and simple furniture, and even undertakes some simple wooden construction projects. The business cannot be said to be very prosperous, but it has been in business for decades. Why? Maybe it can be turned off?
Regardless of this, they finally arrived at Saji's house.
Not to mention that the family members met each other happily, Saji quickly introduced Kai and Portman to his family.
Only his father, mother and sister are at home in Saji's family, and several of his brothers are still serving in the army. Saji had four brothers, all of whom, without exception, joined the army. His eldest brother Hobbs is currently in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Counting his sibling units in the Special Response Force that Kai and his team are in, they are all under the command of the Special Operations Command.
He is the middle child; his two younger brothers, Tom and Jerry, are in Afghanistan and Iraq.
It must be said that their family is full of strong men. Each is among the most dangerous troops.
As for his sister, Angel is only sixteen years old and is still in high school in the town. Angel looks completely different from his brother. Although he is tall, he is very slender. He has a healthy Hispanic complexion and looks very sultry in hot pants and a tank top.
At least Portman, a pervert, likes to stare at other people's waists and butts. If Saji hadn't warned him with his eyes, this guy probably wouldn't have been able to resist flirting. This also made Angel's attitude towards Kai and the two of them not very friendly. She just hugged Saji and then made excuses to escape.
Sage's parents warmly welcomed Kay and Portman's arrival. The relationship between comrades in the United States is deeper than that of ordinary friends. For example, many Americans do not like to lend money to others, even between brothers, but it is normal for comrades to borrow money.
Saji's father also served in the military and highly respected military culture, otherwise he would not have sent all his children to serve in the military. So the visit of Kay and Portman is very welcome.
Although the two elderly people are descendants of immigrants, they were born and raised in the United States, and their habits are no different from those of ordinary Americans.
So the dinner to welcome Kai and the others was very simple, just a barbecue.
In America, barbecue is a culture. For Americans, barbecue is a method that is suitable for all ages, regardless of class, whether the president or civilians are inseparable from barbecue.
There’s nothing special about American barbecue, just an open space, big chunks of meat, and enough beer and drinks to get started.
Hearty enough without being too much trouble.
So a group of people set up a barbecue grill on the lawn behind Saji's house and started BBQ.
Americans, like Chinese people, like to call out friends when it comes to barbecue. After a while, Saji’s neighbors and old friends all rushed over.
Saji was naturally happy after not seeing his old friend for a long time, so he started chatting happily. The people here are also very enthusiastic. They do not ignore Kai because he is not familiar with them. On the contrary, they will find various topics to talk to Kai.
And Portman is even more at home. This guy is shameless and likes to tell all kinds of dirty jokes. It doesn't take long for him to get along with a bunch of people.
After a while, Portman drank too much wine and wanted to drink some water, so he put down his glass and walked into the house. Kai didn't care either.
But within two minutes, there was a sudden scream.
Out of instinct, Kai and Sage immediately dropped the barbecue and wine glasses and rushed into the house.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw that the house was in a mess. Several young people were knocked to the ground. Saji's sister Angel and several girls were hiding in the corner, looking at Portman in horror.
Portman, on the other hand, was holding a dagger against the neck of a young man with long hair and groping him.
"Portman! What's going on?" Kai felt numb at the sight. Damn it, others welcomed me so warmly, but Portman, a bastard, actually caused trouble in other people's homes. What did Saji's family think?
Portman didn't answer immediately, but took something out of the person he was holding hostage and threw it to Kai.
Kai caught it, looked at it, and then his face looked much better, as long as he didn't deliberately cause trouble. He handed the things to Saji. This incident happened at his home. He couldn't make the decision for Saji. This was no longer in the army.
Saji took the thing and took a look.
"Illegal drugs?!"
Yes, it is commonly known as 'laundry'.
At this time, Portman said to the girls: "I hope you didn't drink the wine they gave me. I just saw them putting drugs in your wine!"
"What?!!!" When a group of girls heard this, they immediately dropped their wine glasses on the ground in panic.
Saji looked at his sister with a livid face. These people were all his sister's friends. However, this group of people not only drank but also brought contraband. He felt that he should educate his sister properly!
