Chapter 72 Abraham Erskine
Not long after, the entire base learned about the upcoming exercise.=
These instructors who took the initiative to come to the door to break up the venue and provoke Zhang Yang thought they had chosen a good way to solve the problem, but they didn't know that they were still delivering vegetables to others for nothing, and they were beaten on their left side and even put their right side up to ask for whip.
Faced with such a person who came to the door to find a joke, Zhang Yang was too happy, so how could he refuse?
Two days later, the base, which had been quiet for a while, became lively again. After the last special forces selection competition, everyone in the base had a strong interest in the exercise. This simulated war exercise of red and blue confrontation has a unique advantage. It has high authenticity, low risk, few predictable situations, and can simulate the situation of battlefield encounters to the greatest extent.
Although there were similar exercises in the past, often at the order of the generals of both sides, a group of soldiers roared and grabbed the rifle and rushed forward, which started faster. This time, the exercise was placed in a relatively unfamiliar forest. There was no prior understanding of this place above the exercise, and it was entirely based on its own experience to decide on the battle.
It can be foreseen that this new type of exercise will greatly enhance the unpredictability of combat, and the combat situation will inevitably be very exciting.
To the west of the base, 23 kilometers away from the base, there are also undulating mountains covered by coniferous forests. The average altitude is between 170 and 250 meters, and the highest position is only about 260 meters. Overall, it is not too high, but it is better than the complex terrain.
The entire mountain range is east-west and has a complex and changeable terrain. Among them are forests, basins, hills, cliffs, etc. There may be an abyss between the seemingly very close distances. There may be a small stream without freezing below or dangerous piles of rocks. Except for the survey map personnel at the base who know the specific situation, the rest of the people know nothing about it.
The exercise venue was personally selected by Colonel Phillips, the main reason is that on the European battlefield, there are more combat situations in hills and forests, and the situation is more complicated than the open and flat plains. Furthermore, the plains are the world of the armored division, and the scope of the infantry regiment is mainly targeted at mountains and forests that are inconvenient to enter by armored vehicles and tank vehicles.
Zhang Yang agreed with the choice of the venue, and Zhang Yang didn't need to say much. The special forces he wanted to train were almost tailor-made for mountain warfare. The other instructors were after all veterans in this field. Naturally, they were full of confidence. Both sides looked like they were sure to win.
The radius of the exercise was 10 kilometers, which was different from the last time that the selected personnel were selected. The 12 soldiers of each team jointly held a small map, which briefly recorded the battlefield terrain and the location of the end point. The map was cut into small pieces of paper, each holding one piece. The maps of the five teams participating in the exercise were the same.
There are no red and blue teams during the exercise. The five teams are independent, and the other four teams are all enemies. That team has the largest number of people reaching the finish line, and the shorter the time it takes, the victory is.
Zhang Yang and Carter were driving a jeep. The jeep specially made for military use has excellent off-road performance and a higher chassis is more suitable for climbing mountain roads. The team that was doing exercises had already taken another truck half an hour ago, and was staggered with the instructor group and the referee group, which was to prevent the instructors from leaking information.
Carter was still a little worried along the way, but after seeing Zhang Yang's expression of winning, he could only force himself to calm down. After arriving at the meeting point, Zhang Yang realized that it was in an open and flat area, with seven or eight trucks parked around. Colonel Phillips had arrived in advance and was talking to Major Campbell who came to the door yesterday. After seeing Zhang Yang and Carter, he waved his hand.
"Captain Zhang Yang, Agent Carter, come to me."
"Hello Colonel."
Zhang Yang and Carter saluted a military salute, and then a military salute to the colonel. Major Campbell seemed a little embarrassed when he saw Zhang Yang, so he made an excuse and hurried away.
The Phillips man was a mature man and could see the embarrassing relationship between Zhang Yang and Major Campbell at a glance, but he did not directly point it out. Since he agreed to the exercise today, he said that he had already guessed the real reason for this matter. However, Phillips also had the idea of examining Zhang Yang's training progress, so today's exercise was found.
"Carter should not be introduced. Zhang Yang, let me introduce you. This is Dr. Abraham Erskine, our loyal ally. Doctor, this is Captain Zhang Yang."
After Campbell left, Phillips changed his mind and pointed to a Mediterranean doctor who was walking down from the truck next to him. After seeing the other person's figure, Zhang Yang's eyes lit up.
"Hello, Dr. Erskine."
"I'm glad to see you, Captain Zhang Yang."
Wearing a pair of round-frame glass glasses, Erskine looks very kind and looks easy to get close to anyone. There are only a few strands of hair on the top of her head, and like most respected scientists, she has a Mediterranean hairstyle.
Erskine's appearance was something Zhang Yang did not expect in advance, and the reason was very simple, that is, Phillips did not trust Zhang Yang enough, but Phillips could not be blamed. After all, it really makes people feel uncomfortable when a yellow man is mixed in a group of white soldiers.
It was probably because of this period of contact, or the inspection period, that made Phillips quite satisfied with Zhang Yang's performance, so he decided to let Zhang Yang get in touch with the core content of the Super Soldiers Plan.
The two talked for a few words, but Phillips looked at the envoy of Carter, and then they left, leaving time to Zhang Yang and Erskine.
"Captain Zhang Yang is so young. I would like to thank you for Dr. Rolf. Dr. Rolf is very important to our Allies, thanks to you."
After saying hello to Carter and Phillips, Erskine took the initiative to open up the conversation.
What Zhang Yang did not expect was that Erskine seemed to know that Dr. Rolf. But then he realized that this was not a daze and smiled and said, "I have just fulfilled my obligations. Compared with Dr. Rolf, I don't have that great ability to help."
Erskine's eyes had unabashed admiration: "Captain Zhang Yang, I have been following you from the beginning, and you have given me a lot of surprises."
"Uh, it's just a small fight." Zhang Yang thought the other party was referring to the formation of his special forces, but Erskine shook his head, as if he was pointing out something else.
"Although I'm looking forward to this team, I'm not referring to these things, but yourself." Erskine patted Chang Yang's shoulder: "I've heard people say that one day you just came and had a physical conflict with Instructor Ben Frank, and it's said that you had the advantage, right?"
Zhang Yang looked a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands with awkward expression and said, "Well, I did have some small conflicts with Ben one day, but it's fine now."
Regarding Erskine's impression, Zhang Yang mainly stayed at the executor of the Super Soldier Project and was also the most core scientist. He had no impression of others, so he didn't have much taboos about Erskine asking about him, thinking that the other party was trying to inquire about Steve.
"The interesting thing is here. Since you are standing here now, it means you have enough authority to understand something. What I can tell you is that the Ben Frank you defeated is not an ordinary person."
A cunning look flashed in Phillips' eyes: "I believe you have heard some news about the Super Soldiers. One thing I can reveal is that Ben Frank is one of the people who participated in this experiment and has succeeded! If it is an ordinary person, it is difficult to surpass Ben! And among these people, you, Captain Zhang Yang!"
Zhang Yang didn't expect that Erskine's purpose this time was not Steve, but himself, so hesitated for a while before saying: "Dr. Erskine, I'm sorry, I don't know that Ben had such an experience. But this shouldn't have much to do with me, maybe my own situation is a bit special..."
"Captain, don't be nervous. I have no other meaning in saying this. I just want to tell you that you are not ordinary at all compared to other ordinary people."
Erskine made a big circle and finally expressed his true purpose.
Zhang Yang played his role appropriately, looking at Erskine with a hint of doubt and confusion. Erskine seemed very satisfied with Zhang Yang's reaction and held his eyes with his hand and said, "After participating in that experiment, Ben's physical fitness was 1.2 times that of a normal person, and it was stronger than that of an ordinary person, but you could defeat him. What does this mean? It means that you are stronger than Ben, and this is your natural advantage."
"I still don't understand. Is there something wrong with my body? Or..."
"No, no, no, you are very healthy, and you can't be normal anymore. It's just that your physical fitness is naturally strong. You may not have noticed it before, or it may be that this power lurks in your body and has only been developed recently. Maybe it's related to your experience on the battlefield. I came to you just to understand the situation in this regard, which will be of great help to our next experiment."
Facing Erskine, Zhang Yang had no intention of covering up the facts, because he needed to bring his relationship closer to the other party. Whether it was Howard Stark or old Nick Fury, they were closely connected with Erskine in front of him. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
