Chapter 576 Phantom
Lloyd looked tired.
It's no wonder, last night I flew away overnight, and not long after landing, I had to fly back to Los Angeles. A person of several decades would definitely be exhausted after flying like this.
Tired and sleepy, Lloyd's spirits and temper were not in the best shape.
"What the hell did you do last night?!"
"I didn't do anything. I just shot a few people, and I didn't show any particular bravery. I was very restrained. I was just a low-class gangster, and I dismissed them casually."
Lloyd looked helpless and annoyed, and he said angrily: "You just hit me casually, why did you provoke the Joint Special Operations Command?"
Gao Guang immediately widened his eyes and said in shock: "Special Operations Command?"
Lloyd sighed with a tired look, then he slowly closed his eyes and said slightly sadly: "Major General Raymond Thomas of the Joint Special Operations Command called me this morning. He said that he hopes you Can you go...Okay, all the following contents are top secret. If you leak it, I will have to kill you personally. "
Gao Guang said without hesitation: "Well, if it's top secret, I'd better not listen to it. How about I leave?"
"They want you to come to the Arena Training Center and participate in training exchanges."
"Is it too late for me to leave now?"
Gao Guang really didn't want to know too much, but Lloyd couldn't wait to tell him, and it seemed like it was too late to leave.
Lloyd opened his eyes, looked at Gao Guang and said: "That damn Lei is from the Phantom Force, and the Phantom Force is the director of the arena training center where he is located. He called Raymond last night. The application must be accepted. You went to communication training, so Raymond called me at five o'clock in the morning, damn! Do you know what it means to call at five o'clock in the morning?"
"Meaning he got up early?"
Lloyd said angrily: "Don't pretend to be a fool in front of me! Have you become accustomed to pretending to be a fool? Do you treat me as an idiot?"
Gao Guang really pretended to be used to it, so he said with a sad face: "I'm sorry, I haven't adjusted yet. I called you very early. Does that mean... I can't refuse?"
Lloyd sighed and said, "Yes, they regard you as mine, so the time of five o'clock in the morning means they value you, which means it's best not to refuse."
Gao Guang said with a sad face: "If I go, will I not be able to come out?"
Lloyd shook his head and said: "That's not the case. The arena will invite all the world's most elite special forces to train. The world's top special forces will be invited to train. If there are too many people there, it's not impossible to get out. ”
Gao Guang felt a little confused. He knew he had heard some big secrets, but he couldn't understand them.
If you don't understand, you have to ask. Gao Guang said hesitantly: "The Special Operations Command is just a command unit. It doesn't have its own troops. There is also this phantom troop. I have never heard of it before."
Lloyd sighed: "The Phantom Force is the only unit directly under the Special Operations Command. The newly formed cross-service special forces have only been established for six years. However, after six years, this unit has not improved and has not shown any improvement. The Special Operations Command was a little embarrassed that it surpassed the strength of the special forces of all services, so Raymond was anxious. Well, this is also top secret and must not be leaked. "
"Newly formed? A force directly under the Special Operations Command?"
Lloyd clapped his hands and said: "Yes, it is a unit that has gathered the best talents from several military services, the most advanced equipment, and the best instructors, but it has never shown the strength it should have. This phantom unit is about to become a laughing stock. "And failure is synonymous with it. If the Phantom Force is disbanded, then the Special Operations Command's efforts to obtain a direct force for itself will completely fail, so you can imagine how anxious Raymond must be."
Gao Guang was still confused and said: "What does this have to do with me... Well, I mean, why was the phantom army formed and why was it disbanded?"
Lloyd hesitated for a moment, and then he finally said in a deep voice: "Everything stems from a failure in Ukraine in 2013, a disastrous failure."
Gao Guang was puzzled and waited for Lloyd's answer.
"In 2013, the Army Tactical Research Group launched a beheading operation in Ukraine. In a live broadcast watched by the president and half of the power center, the Army Tactical Research Group suffered a disastrous defeat and no one survived."
Gao Guang said cautiously: "What is the Army Tactical Research Group?"
"Well, it's the Army Tactical Research Group. They study tactics. Delta uses the tactics they studied. They are also responsible for testing and experimenting with the latest equipment. One of the two most powerful forces in the world, the code name given by the Soviets is Butter Knife. We think Yes, that’s the code name.”
Gao Guang nodded and said: "You are so powerful but you still lose miserably. Who is your opponent?"
"I don't know. It is speculated that they are Soviets. Listen clearly, they are Soviets, not Russians."
Lloyd waved his hand impatiently and then continued: "Not long after, another strongest force, the Navy's Red Team, also suffered a disastrous defeat in Ukraine. In the end, only four people came back alive. This humiliating defeat gave birth to The birth of the Phantom Army."
"Wait a minute, what's the red team?"
"The navy's strongest force is divided into three teams: blue, white and red. The red team is a combat team, one of the two strongest forces. It has never been defeated. Well, Ukraine has never been defeated before."
Lloyd waved his hands impatiently and said: "You know these are useless. You know that after two failed operations under the command of the Special Operations Command, the President and Congress approved the establishment of the Special Operations Command. Just draw the strongest force formed by each military service. Because it does not exist in any paper documents, this force is called a phantom. "
Gao Guang couldn't help but asked: "Is the red team more powerful than the seals?"
Lloyd waved his hand helplessly and said: "Seals? Seals use the tactics studied by the red team, the rules formulated, and the weapons selected. The best talents among the seals are eligible to be transferred to the red team. Butter knives are more valuable than those on the red team." "No, the selection conditions are more stringent. Can you please stop asking these questions? It has nothing to do with you."
Gao Guang nodded and said, "Okay, keep talking."
Lloyd exhaled helplessly and said: "Phantom has been established for six years. Although they are the best talents drawn from all branches of the military, you should know that whether it is the Navy or the Air Force, how can they be willing to put the best talents at the bottom of the box? The treasure has been taken out, so the combat effectiveness of the phantoms is still not as good as that of each service's own troops. Therefore, the phantom troops are willing to break the rules and look for every opportunity to enhance their strength. You are invincible in close combat. Isn't it normal to be favored by the phantom troops? ”
After finishing speaking, Lloyd said with a look of resentment: "Why do you say you are invincible in close combat? Why?"
"I am who I am and I have a personal identity!"
Gao Guang was about to cry. He didn't feel proud now, he just felt that it was really troublesome.
"General, there's no way I'm going to join the Phantom Army, there's no way I'm going!"
"nonsense!"
Lloyd said angrily: "If you want to go to them, can they want you? This is America's most elite...the most nominally elite special forces with top-secret confidentiality. Do they dare to want you?"
He waved his hand angrily and said with a face: "Special Operations Command thinks you are one of my people. They think you can still be used as a communication partner, or instructor, whatever, but Raymond personally I made a request and the call came at five in the morning, how could I refuse?”
After finishing speaking, Lloyd forced a smile and said, "Just do me a favor and go."
"What should I do?"
"Well, I don't know the specific situation, but I think it's just those things. I'm the commander of the regular forces and I don't know much about the training of special forces. But it's not useless for you to go. That's the phantom force and it's an arena. You can also learn something in the training center.”
Gao Guang said anxiously: "Then, wait a minute, can I take all my people for training?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Do you want me to die? I said everything is top secret, and the names are all top secret places. Is it possible for you to take a team of people there?"
Lloyd patted Gao Guang's shoulder and said earnestly: "Mad dog, just do me a favor and I'll make sure you can come out even if you go in, okay?"
Gao Guang said with a confused look on his face: "Are you really sure that I can still come out and won't be silenced or anything like that?"
"I promise, I can absolutely guarantee that."
"Then I'm ready to go again?"
Gao Guang decided that if Lloyd asked him to leave immediately without even giving him time to prepare, then he would rather fall out, turn around and flee the United States immediately than join the phantom force.
But if Lloyd is willing to let him prepare and meet a few of his requirements, then this matter will be more reliable and can at least be considered.
Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Of course you can prepare. You can handle the things at hand. I just need to tell Raymond and you agree. It doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or later. Of course. , the sooner the better.”
The hanging heart relaxed a little, and Gao Guang said without hesitation: "Then I have a request. I have to learn something when I go, and train me to be a sniper."
"Sniper, hey, I'm afraid you'll cry and want to come back. I can agree to this request. Raymond shouldn't refuse this small request."
"How long will I be gone?"
"I don't know, but I guarantee you will come out."
"Then can I contact the outside world?"
"I can't guarantee it, but... I'll try my best to fight for you, otherwise our business won't be able to be handled.'"
Lloyd also had a look of helplessness on his face. He complained to Gao Guang: "Why are you bragging to that Lei? Now that it's better, the business has to be left behind. It's such a delay."
Judging from Lloyd's attitude, this matter should be reliable, at least there will be no return. Gao Guang sighed and said: "How did I know this would be like this? This is really a troublesome trouble, forget it. , I'm going, General, you have to let me come out early, we still have business to do. "
