A group of people surrounded Swager and got into the car. Irving drove the car himself and Swager sat in the passenger seat. The car drove towards the TU headquarters.
Back at CTU, Jack Bauer was not there. He seemed to have been called to the White House by the president to discuss something. Only Simon and Trigger were in the hall. There were at least six people in the field team in Los Angeles, but there were only three people in the field team in Washington. Open the can
After the weapon was removed from the seal, there were only two people left. Of course, this did not affect their combat effectiveness. If there was a head-to-head confrontation, it would be handled by the tactical team.
Owen and his team led Swager towards the office area. When they saw Simon, they were about to introduce their new members to him. Suddenly they found Simon looking at Swager with a strange expression. When they turned around, they found that Swager was also looking.
With Simon.
"ghost?"
"Bullseye?"
Farke, it's really you. Simon came up and punched Swager on the shoulder, and then the two laughed and hugged each other.
It turned out that these two people actually knew each other.
Owen and Monica, who was standing next to them, felt their hearts beating. Is the world really that small? A retired member of the SAS and an ace sniper of the Marine Corps. How could these two people intersect?
"Bullseye, aren't you?"
Simon asked doubtfully, and then looked around with some worry. Owen gave him a wink, and the group entered the small conference room.
In the conference room, Owen did not answer Simon's question immediately, but looked at Swager.
Swag understood what he meant and said: "Simon and I met at the hunter school in Venezuela..."
After some narration, everyone finally understood why these two people with different nationalities and different military branches had intersections, and they seemed to have a pretty good relationship.
It turned out that Simon was representing the British SAS in the hunter school selection, while Swager was representing the US Marine Corps.
The Hunter School is located in the tropical jungle of Venezuela and is a world-famous special forces training center. It is known for its brutal training, with an elimination rate of 50%-80%.
Those who came to participate were all well-known special forces from various countries, and the members were all the best among the special forces, but there were still many who could not persist and were eliminated.
Here, the first "classic dish" that students receive is actual combat selection.
It requires students from various countries participating in the selection to complete more than 20 dangerous courses under actual combat conditions within 15 days. For example, while crawling, bullets are flying overhead, but the selected personnel have no protection and may deviate from the direction.
Will be struck by lightning.
Because the selection environment, conditions, circumstances, methods, etc. are as cruel as actual combat, the elimination rate is 50% to 80%. For this reason, some team members returned home with regrets, and some team members even unfortunately paid their lives.
In addition, their wake-up call is a gas bomb, and if they fall behind in training, they will have no food. Anti-prisoner of war training will also allow trainees to experience various tortures and experience the feeling of death like real prisoners of war.
Usually, they spent their time carrying logs, pouring cold water, burning gas and other various tortures. Each of them signed a "life and death certificate" before entering the school. The content of the agreement was simple and cold. Once they entered,
When studying in this school, no matter what kind of casualties occur, the consequences will be borne by the students themselves and the country where they are located.
The status of the students there is even lower than that of a dog. One of the unique features of the Hunter School is that the instructor will bring a dog with him wherever he goes. The purpose of this dog's existence is to humiliate the students.
Dogs can eat but people can't. Dogs can rest but people can't. Dogs make mistakes and people have to be punished. There, apart from the instructor, the most hated thing among the students is the dog. Everyone wants to kill it.
In addition, the instructor will use any method to torture the students' body and spirit, and will constantly insult you. If you can't bear it anymore and want to quit, you need to read the script in front of all the students: "I can't do it, I'm a waste, I
"It's rubbish, I'm going to die" and the like, and he even burned his own hat with his own hands, which meant that he was already a dead person, and he had to lower the national flag...
Swager and Simon described every detail of the Hunter School as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, and even when they were talking, you could hear the hatred in their teeth. But fortunately, both of them persisted.
Of the 84 people in their class, only 18 persisted to the end, and Swager and Simon were two of them.
Owen admires them very much. Hunter school is obviously an upgraded version of SEAL training, a hell-mode SEAL training. Owen himself has experienced SEAL hell week training and knows how terrible that kind of despair is. He can definitely say that he can persevere.
Those who came down were all determined people. Hell Week at the Hunter School was even more cruel, and Owen couldn't imagine what they all went through at that time.
Just when everyone was sighing, the brain circuit of the heartbeat was different from others. He asked curiously: "Ghost, did you...really kill that dog?"
"Hahaha~~~"
Simon and Swag immediately laughed, and their laughter was indescribably joyful.
"Yes, I killed it myself, and the last 18 people all helped..."
Swag and Simon looked at each other, recalling the prosperous days of the past. Swag proudly said: "You know, we are the only ones among the previous students who have killed that dog. After us, Hunter
The school has an extra rule that they are not allowed to kill their dogs, and in the days before graduation, you can’t find any trace of that beast, they have hidden it long ago, hahaha..."
Knowing the friendship between the two, there is no need to hide Swag's identity. In fact, there is no way to hide it. Simon knows Swag and knows that Swag is wanted. Now Swag appears in CTU openly.
Everyone knows there's something fishy here.
Owen informed Simon about Swagger's change of identity. This matter was top secret. Only Jack Bauer and the quick reaction team knew about it within CTU. Now there is another Simon Riley.
After briefly familiarizing himself with the environment here, Owen took Swagger to the gun warehouse to see if the existing sniper rifles could meet his requirements. If there were special requirements, Owen would submit them to the logistics department for special
purchase.
After looking at it, Swager finally chose the model he was used to. He was born in the Marine Corps, and he also liked to use the Marine Corps version.
There are two in total. The ordinary sniper rifle is m40a3, which fires improved m118lr (long-range) bullets and is equipped with uneul integrated scope.
The second one is the Barrett m82a3. The a3 is a Marine Corps model improved on the basis of the a1. It is the model that Swagger is accustomed to. The m82 almost occupies a dominant position in the .50-caliber sniper rifle market. Barrett
The m82 is also one of the most widely used anti-materiel sniper rifles today.
After choosing a sniper rifle, he didn't have any special requirements for other secondary weapons and assault rifles when sniping was not needed, so he just followed the general trend.
As a special forces soldier, it is necessary to be able to use any standard weapon proficiently. Just like Owen, he prefers the HK416 assault rifle and the Sig Sauer P226 pistol, but he can use other models of assault rifles and pistols.
Just as handy.
After taking out Swagger, the quick reaction team conducted their first joint training. New snipers joined, and they must form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
The effect of joint training is pretty good. We are all not newbies and adapted quickly. There are no obvious problems. The team members get along with each other very casually. The rest is to practice diligently and develop a tacit understanding.
In his spare time, Owen also gave Swagger his first task - to find a way to recruit the ghost into the quick reaction team.
Owen, a strongman like Ghost, has long been attracted to him, but there is no very convincing reason. Although our relationship is not bad, it has not reached that level. Owen is even more happy to know that he graduated from a hunter school.
, but there has never been a good breakthrough point.
It's best to succeed in poaching someone the first time. Once the other party rejects it, it will be difficult to poach again. So Owen has never spoken. Now Swag's arrival is a good opportunity. He and Ghost graduated from the same hunter school.
, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are comrades-in-arms. With this relationship, the work of being a ghost may be easier.
