Chapter 2701: Good Words Cannot Persuade the Damned Ghost

As a soldier and a soldier, Major Kovanov knew very well what it meant to send a veteran with one ear deaf to the battlefield.

Only one ear could hear, and the other ear could not hear any sound at all.

This is like a radar designed for 360-degree circular scanning that has a problem and can only scan 180 degrees now, and the other side cannot be turned around.

You tell people that it has no effect?

Are you kidding me?

This has a huge impact, okay?

In a battlefield where every second counts, this can be fatal if you are not careful. It is stupid and bad to say that this situation has no effect on people.

At first, Major Kovanov thought that Jefferson, the head of the press, was going to go to the front line of the firefight to take pictures and record.

If this is the case, then although this request is outrageous, Jefferson is still a man who dares to do what he wants.

However, the fact is that Jefferson was only responsible for proposing ideas and giving advice, and the person who actually carried out this potentially life-threatening thing was a veteran who had survived a near-death experience on the battlefield and was left with a lifelong disability before retiring.

Major Kovanov had no empathy for Americans, and would not casually pity people who had nothing to do with him.

But as a soldier, the head of the American press corps treated a veteran who had shed blood for his country like this, using him as a tool to achieve his own goals and ideas. This contempt and taint of the military profession still made Major Kovanov feel quite unhappy.

Kovanov could choose not to stand up for the veteran named David, and it had nothing to do with him that the Americans were injured and retired from the war. But Kovanov, who had no good impression of Jefferson, was even more unhappy with him now. If he hadn't had a mission, he would have scolded him long ago, so what good face would he have?

Facing Kovanov's questioning, Jefferson seemed to be unconcerned, even acting calm and taking everything for granted.

Jefferson didn't even need to speak again, the old soldier called David was already anxious and spoke first.

"Please, Major, please agree. This is really very important to me, I must complete this mission! Please believe in my ability, I will never hold you back, I can use a gun and protect myself, and I will definitely follow your command and obey your orders, please let me go."

Kovanov, who was originally planning to talk to Jefferson again, turned around again and saw David's face full of helplessness and anxiety.

This doesn't look like a strange expression just for the work assigned by the superior. It feels like this person wants to say something, but now he can't say it. It may be inconvenient to say, but it may not be guaranteed that he has no time to talk nonsense.

""

Kovanov was speechless and noncommittal, because this disabled veteran, who had lost an ear, was holding his arms with both hands and looking embarrassed. There was no doubt that he would beg for mercy when he spoke again.

"To be honest, Major. David's family is not well off and there was an accident at home. He needs a lot of money to maintain his hope. He sees this as his only chance. If he misses this chance, he may regret it for the rest of his life."

"Perhaps each of us has a reason to fight for our lives, and this is David's. It is the path he has chosen and what he must accomplish. You are all soldiers and have similar things in common. I believe you can understand him to a certain extent."

"Don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else. I just hope you can think about it carefully before making a decision."

"Of course, if necessary, I can also provide necessary help, such as making a phone call. Perhaps your superior, General Malashenko, will be willing to discuss some details with me, which can optimize the efficiency of our cooperation. What do you think?"

""

To be honest, Kovanov, who said nothing but trembled his eyelids, was fed up with this gentle man with glasses from the United States at this moment.

This guy looks very dignified, but his actions and words are disgusting. He can be called the living spokesperson of gentle scum.

Working with such a person made Kovanov so angry that he wanted to curse, but in the end, reason still defeated impulse and calmness prevailed.

"I need to ask my superiors, wait here."

Without any unnecessary nonsense, Kovanov, who acted neatly as always, strode away, leaving David, who was uneasy and anxious, and Jefferson, who had a cunning look under the thick lenses, staying there.

That Malashenko did give people a different feeling. Although the contact time was not long, it was really difficult to deal with and take him down.

But judging from the current situation, this situation seems to be just a special case.

The subordinates of Malashenko were far less capable than their generals. They understood, saw through, and then chose the right means to take him down.

The whole process was smooth and there was almost no accident. Jefferson, who had always believed that these soldiers were really easy to deal with, finally regained his confidence again.

"Everything is under control. Nothing is impossible, and it will definitely be like this."

Kovanov, holding the microphone, didn't know what the disgusting Jefferson was thinking at this moment. He just waited quietly for the man who could decide everything to give orders on the other end of the phone after telling the situation.

"Do it the way he wants, Kovanov. But this is a special case, only this time. If you encounter any unsolvable situation again, you can still report to me and I will handle it."

"As for the disabled American soldier, you don't have to take too much care of him. Just do what you should do. When these Americans were at the front headquarters, they signed a personal life and death form. Since they dared to come to the battlefield, they must be aware of gambling with their lives. We only provide necessary security within our capacity, not necessarily to save their lives."

"Khitan, well, there is an old Chinese saying It's called "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words", which means that if a guy wants to die, don't expect you to save him. You are not a saint, and there is no need to do this. What's more, who to send is their own internal decision, which has nothing to do with us. You just need to do what you should do. "

"I will trust and support you as always, just go ahead, Kovanov. I believe you can complete the task and do it well, and I'm waiting for your good news."

Malachenko is not a person who likes to talk too much on the phone. The habit of speaking in short words in the communication equipment developed during the war has not changed. It is rare to be able to say so much today. Of course, there are also Malachenko's own intentions and reasons for doing so. It is not just a casual chat or nonsense.

For Kovanov, who heard the division commander speak so earnestly and talked to him for the first time, it was the first time in his life, and he was inevitably excited and excited. What he did next was as if Malachenko was standing in front of him at this moment, standing at attention on the spot and speaking solemnly.

"Yes, Comrade Commander! I promise to complete the mission, please rest assured!"
