Chapter 1508 What Can You Do?
A frog with two paddles, this badge is unique to SBS.
SBS is the Special Boat Service of the British Royal Marines.
Gao Yang once encountered someone from SBS, a precision shooter, who almost killed him. If not for his luck, he would have died that time.
Gao Yang was able to survive the battle with the SBS men in Somalia because of two essential factors. One was that he was lucky enough to win the bet in the rolling action with a half chance of life and death, and the other was that he could win the bet after winning the bet. Rely on his marksmanship to kill his opponents.
Looking back on that battle now, Gao Yang still breaks out in cold sweat. The precise marksman he killed was not surprisingly good at shooting, but his shooting speed was so fast that he had only seen it this time in his fighting career.
Although he is the winner, Gao Yang is always in awe of the defeated opponent. There is no weak person in sbs, but what position does he stand on? This must be acknowledged. Moreover, the opponent he fought with at that time was already very old. If he was young, How old is Gao Yang? He is not sure who will survive.
When the man wearing a top hat walked in, Gao Yang was sure that he was a soldier, but he didn't expect that it was a SBS man.
Gary was also surprised. After looking at the badge on the table, Gary raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "SBS? That's rare. You are SBS. Payton should be able to help you find a job easily."
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Gary raised his hand, stopped the man in the top hat from speaking, then turned to Gao Yang and said: "Peyton is a friend of mine. He helps some workshops find suitable employees, such as Armor The group also helps some retired soldiers or other people with skills find jobs, such as the one in front of us."
After finishing speaking, Gary said to Gao Yang with an apologetic look: "I need to explain to you. This gentleman came to me because he wanted to find a job, and with his SBS qualifications, it is too easy to find a job. Since he failed to find a suitable job in Payton, it means that Payton's job is not suitable for him. And this situation can only explain one problem, that is, he needs quick money, a large amount of money, and a formal job. And long-term income cannot meet his needs.”
Gary turned to look at the man in the top hat and said solemnly: "Am I right?"
The man nodded and said solemnly: "Yes."
Gary shrugged his shoulders and said to Gao Yang: "We may have to talk about some more serious things next, if you think you can meet this gentleman's needs. You can stay and listen, if you think it's not necessary Stay, then you’re off, and I look forward to your next visit.”
Gao Yang smiled and said: "We need talents.
I am very interested in hearing what this gentleman is asking for. "
Gary smiled and said loudly: "Very good, cooperation is achieved inadvertently like this. You are people inside the industry. I believe you understand the rules. No matter what we will say next. Please don't take what you hear. Is it okay to take you out of this room?"
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "This is basic literacy. You don't need to remind me."
Gary nodded with satisfaction. Then he smiled at the man in the top hat and said, "Hello, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Please briefly introduce yourself so that we can have a better conversation."
"My name is James McLean. I was born in 1970. I joined the Royal Navy in 1988 and the Special Boat Team in 1992. I retired this year and have been retired for five months."
James introduced himself briefly. Gao Yang thought he would introduce it in more detail, but James pursed his lips tightly after finishing speaking. Apparently he has already introduced himself.
What makes Gao Yang more confused is that the training period and service period of SBS are terrifyingly long. Basically, it is normal to retire at the age of fifty, and James is only 44 years old. In other armies, he is either an officer or should have retired long ago, but in SBS, he is in his prime. The only possibility for retiring at the age of 44 is to be forced to retire. I don’t know if you are the type who made a big mistake and were kicked out, or if you have to choose to retire due to some other reasons, such as major physical injuries.
Gary obviously also noticed James' abnormality. He said calmly: "Why retire so early?"
James pursed his lips and whispered: "Do I have to say it?"
Gary said with regret: "I'm afraid so. If you were from another army I wouldn't ask, but you are SBS, so I have to ask."
After James took a deep breath, he whispered: "During a live-fire exercise not long ago, I made a mistake and killed two brothers. I was seriously injured. I retired after recovering from my injuries."
Gao Yang couldn't help but sigh. As a soldier, you must practice. As long as it is a live-fire exercise, something will inevitably happen. However, the exercises of troops like SBS are more intense and extremely frequent. It is inevitable that something will happen. The new recruit of the special forces died during the training. It is not uncommon for people to die.
But for a unit like SBS, two people died in a drill accident and one was seriously injured. This matter is different. This is a particularly serious accident, and James must have made a particularly serious mistake. James was killed. He must still be a veteran. If he is a new recruit, he will say it.
"What accident?"
Gary seems to have the habit of asking for details, which is inevitable. He is a middleman. If you want to recommend someone, you can't just recommend it to others without knowing everything.
The expression on James's face was very painful. He did not lower his head, but the top hat in his right hand was pinched and deformed. After a moment of silence, James shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to say it."
Gary thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, I won't ask about this. You have the right to keep your *, but I need to know if you are still involved in SBS, and whether you have completely retired. ”
James nodded, with a hint of imperceptible pain in his eyes, and said seriously: "Yes, a very complete retirement without any involvement."
Gary pointed to James' left hand and whispered: "You said you were injured. Is there anything wrong with your hand? In addition, you have other irreversible injuries and injuries that have an impact on body functions. What's the situation?"
James raised his left arm, half curled up in the air. The five fingers of his left hand were spread out, but it seemed like he was holding something. Then he whispered: "My arm can only be stretched to this extent, and the fingers are also stretched, and the strength is also limited." I can’t quantify the impact accurately, but it’s only half the strength of my right hand.”
Gao Yang calculated how much James' arms could stretch. If a normal person's stretch was 100%, he could stretch up to 70%. As for his fingers, he could stretch to 60-70% of a normal person's level.
Gao Yang sighed inwardly. For a soldier, James was indeed semi-disabled. Although his left hand was an auxiliary hand, James' condition still had a great impact on combat. To say he was semi-disabled was not an exaggeration.
Feeling emotional in his heart but unable to show it on the surface, Gao Yang suddenly said before Gary could ask, "Mr. McClain, what responsibilities do you have in the military?"
Gao Yang was concerned about this, so he asked directly, and James said without hesitation: "Assaulter, good at diving, low, medium and high parachutes, underwater blasting, shore reconnaissance, rapid communication, and operating small boats and various small boats. .”
James only talked about a few skills that ordinary soldiers would not be exposed to. As for basic infantry skills such as shooting, long-distance marching, concealment, etc., he did not need to talk about it, and he did not bother to talk about it. With the golden sign of SBS, It means that these basic items of his are the best among the best, otherwise he would not be able to enter SBS.
Gary smiled and nodded, and said loudly: "You said it, then I don't have to ask, where, Mr. McClain, now is the key question, how much do you want?"
James said without hesitation: "Three hundred thousand pounds!"
It came out without hesitation, and it was obvious that James had been thinking about this number for a long time and that this was the minimum he could do.
Three hundred thousand pounds is just a small amount of money to Gao Yang now, and he doesn't take it seriously, but is three hundred thousand pounds really a small amount of money?
Most people will never earn as much as 300,000 pounds in a single transaction in their lifetime. When Gao Yang first started his career, his ideal was to save 100,000 U.S. dollars a year. In this world, money is not so easy to earn, even if It’s not easy to make money working as a mercenary.
Gary smiled bitterly and said to James: "Does it have to be a single income of more than 300,000 pounds?"
James sighed and just nodded.
Gary also sighed and said helplessly: "Mr. MacLean, I'm afraid it's not easy to achieve your goal. In normal ways, I don't have a job that can meet your requirements. Your situation is the most suitable, but in this industry There’s no rule about salary advances, there never has been.”
James gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I can do anything, I can do anything!"
Gary shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Even if you are willing to accept some extremely dangerous jobs and want to get 300,000 pounds, I estimate that it will take at least half a year. If you can get 300,000 pounds in a single trip, Job, I'm sorry, there are very few such jobs, you need to take a chance, and I don't have such a job for you at the moment."
Gao Yang knew it was time for him to appear. He looked at James and said seriously: "I can provide a job and meet your requirements."
Gary smiled slightly and said: "Look, this is why I asked you to stay. Some things always turn around like this."
Gao Yang nodded, but then he said seriously to James: "Mr. McClain, I need to ask you again, what can you do." (To be continued.)
ps: Please give me a monthly ticket. At the last moment, I don’t want to be left out. I would like to thank all my brothers and sisters here.
