The Far East is an uninhabited land under the jurisdiction of the Mao Xiong military force.
The cold winds of January are biting. In this no-man's land far away from modern transportation roads, except for the plains covered by heavy snow and patches of cedar forests, there is no sign of life at all.
"Sergey, did you hear that?
The fat pig in the munitions department is planning to cut our bonus allowance again.
I have worked hard for the country for more than ten years, but now I can’t earn more than 1 million rubles a year, which translates to just over 10,000 US dollars.
A few of the people who entered the special operations camp with us heard that they would retire and work abroad as bodyguards for capitalists. They could earn US$200,000 a year and buy a big villa after working for a few years.
Sergey, do you think this is fair?
Those group of our men are defeated, I can defeat three of them by myself.
Why do you make so much more than me now? "
Ivan's usual nagging sounded in his ears, and Sergei was still lying motionless on a cedar tree.
His eyes were still looking through the scope of the sniper rifle in his hand, firmly focusing on a special forces recruit who was crawling cautiously in the snow.
Sergey is an ace sniper with 12 years of experience in special operations.
As an ace sniper who can receive special national allowance bonuses based on his special operations experience, he easily discovered the special operations recruits when they first entered the battlefield.
In fact, for the sniper Sergey and his observer Ivan, this '2v10' military confrontation exercise mission was completely meaningless.
Those young special forces recruits, in the eyes of these two ace veterans with 12 years of special operations experience, are obvious lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The two of them were able to easily kill all ten special forces recruits within three minutes without exposing themselves.
This is also the reason why Ivan, the observer, can chat with his sniper without caring.
Those new recruits were not qualified to attract his attention.
“Those civilian leaders who have never carried a gun always think that the military’s combat effectiveness is a simple arithmetic problem.
For 200,000 rubles of new recruits, 1 million rubles can recruit five.
In the eyes of others, the two of us are just losers.
They forced us both to retire. When the time comes to recruit two more recruits, all the money saved will go into their pockets. . . "
The observer Ivan was still chattering, and the sniper Sergey still didn't say much.
As a partner for more than ten years, Sergey certainly knew Ivan's difficulties.
Although his salary far exceeded that of a recruit, Ivan's wife gave birth to four sons for him, and he took out a loan to buy a house in the city. Ivan's financial pressure became increasingly serious.
In comparison, Sergey's situation is better, but it is also limited.
He only has one daughter, but she has suffered from chronic illnesses since childhood.
Although it is not serious and not life-threatening, the annual medical expenses and nutritional expenses are also a considerable burden.
Although the annual salary of one million rubles is considerable, it cannot fundamentally change Sergey's family situation.
Ivan would always talk to Sergey about some so-called 'way out'.
But having said that, it seems that it is feasible for someone to work as a bodyguard for a wealthy person abroad.
Watching those guys who are far less powerful than me, after retiring, they go abroad to work as bodyguards and make a lot of money.
It is certainly impossible to say that I am not envious.
But as an ace veteran with more than ten years of experience in special operations and numerous honors, Sergey felt conflicted at the thought of working as a bodyguard for those wealthy capitalists.
The two were chatting as usual.
The communicator next to his ear suddenly came with an order to stop the exercise.
Not long after, a black spot appeared in the snow-white sky in the distance.
A MiG military helicopter quickly passed the positioning and came to the open space next to the cedar where Sergei and Ivan were hiding.
The furry bear officer with a big belly and a fat head was the first to land.
After landing, the fat officer did not greet Sergei and Ivan. Instead, he bent down with a smile on his face to welcome the people in the helicopter to get out of the helicopter and land.
That flattering and flattering look made both Sergey and Ivan a little stunned for a moment.
This fat officer named Alexander was the 'miser and blood-sucker' that Ivan had always cursed in private.
From the food expenses of the troops to the allowances and bonuses of ace special forces such as Sergey and Ivan, the fat officer has to take advantage of them.
If it were an ordinary person, given Ivan's violent temper, he might have already taught him a lesson.
But this fat officer's background is a bit tough. His brother-in-law is the deputy commander of the Mao Xiong Far East Military Region.
This was the first time that the two of them had seen such a tough fat officer backstage, with such a pleasant face, or in other words, such a flattering attitude.
This also made Sergey and Ivan psychologically look forward to the characters who were about to appear in the military helicopter.
One was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a decent suit, looking like a high-end elite from a law firm, financial securities investment bank or the like.
Immediately afterwards came Liu Li, who was wearing a jacket that looked like a training uniform without any trademarks, a tall figure and a tough face.
Although from the first impression, the burly man in the back looks like the bodyguard of the social elite in the front.
But judging from the way the 'elite man' bowed slightly and was always half a step behind the 'burly man' during the march, it seemed that the 'burly man' was the real 'talker'.
"Foreigner?"
Seeing that the physical features of the 'elite man' and 'burly man' were obviously different from those of the bear men, Sergei and Ivan looked at each other and frowned slightly.
This is the military jurisdiction of Mao Xiong. Logically speaking, it is impossible to allow irrelevant foreigners to enter.
But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the fat officer who was still standing by with a flattering expression on his face, and Sergey seemed to understand everything.
Money can make the world go round.
The fat officer even dared to deduct the allowances and bonuses of the ace special forces, and it seemed reasonable to do something else.
“These two are Sergei and Ivan.
They are the top sniper team in our military region and even in the entire military.
He is also an ace expert with ten years of experience in special operations!
Even though they are a bit older now, the older they are, the more experienced they are.
To be honest, I am really reluctant to let such top talents go out. If they are left outside, they are special elite experts who cannot be hired even if they have money. . . "
Listening to the fat officer praising himself so much, Sergey and Ivan couldn't help but look at him sideways.
'Damn it, when he made excuses to deduct my allowance and bonus two days ago, this guy told me I was worthless.
Why has your attitude turned 180 degrees now? '
Ivan grinned and looked at the 'elite man' and 'burly man' at the same time as Sergey on the side.
