829: Chapter 820 No Other Choice 829: Chapter 820 No Other Choice There was a driver on the car, and another person sitting in the back seat.
Having had the experience before, Gao Yang got into the car, sat in the back seat, took a black bag that was handed to him, and directly placed it over his head.
The car started moving, nobody spoke, and Gao Yang didn’t bother to count his heartbeats or pulse to time the duration; it wasn’t necessary.
He simply took the opportunity to lean on the seat and fell asleep.
Gao Yang thought it would take at least two hours, but he felt like he hadn’t slept long before he was woken up.
After being awakened and removing the hood himself, he got out of the car, which then sped away immediately.
Gao Yang looked around and realized he had arrived at a military base he had been to before.
Standing in front of him was a completely unfamiliar officer who saluted him and then said in a grave voice, “Mr.
Ram, please follow me.”
Utterly confused, Gao Yang followed a Lieutenant into the office building.
They walked quickly through the almost completely dark building, passed several offices, and after the Lieutenant knocked on a door without any signage, someone inside loudly said, “Come in!”
The officer opened the door, gestured for Gao Yang to enter, but did not go in himself; instead, he immediately closed the door from the outside.
The office was small and simply furnished, not General Wolfgang’s office, but Wolfgang was indeed inside, along with a middle-aged man in a suit who looked anxious.
Upon seeing Wolfgang, Gao Yang instinctively stood at attention and then smartly saluted, saying, “General!”
Wolfgang returned the salute and then said gravely to Gao Yang, “Mr.
Ram, we know each other well, so let’s skip the formalities.
I want to know if I can trust you?”
Gao Yang replied in a grave tone, “General, I am trustworthy!”
Military communication is about being concise and clear.
After a few words, Wolfgang said gravely, “Good, listen, every word you hear here, every image you see, you must not speak of it to anyone, not your people, nor those from Destin.
Can you guarantee that?”
Gao Yang crisply replied, “No problem!”
Wolfgang nodded and said, “Very good, this way we can proceed.”
After speaking, Wolfgang turned to the suited man who was frowning and said gravely, “Mr.
L, this is the man I recommended to you.”
Mr.
L frowned as he looked at Gao Yang, scrutinized him a few times, then incredulously said to Wolfgang, “He’s a foreigner?”
Wolfgang replied gravely, “Not only is he a foreigner, but he is also a mercenary.
Yet, he is trustworthy—I can guarantee that, and I’m prepared to take full responsibility.”
Mr.
L urgently said, “This is ridiculous, how can we possibly involve a foreigner in this?
It’s impossible!”
Wolfgang replied gravely, “You came to me, and other than getting him involved, there’s no other way, so either you trust me or you’ll have to try your luck elsewhere.”
Mr.
L, clearly agitated, said quietly, “But you never told me he was a foreigner, and a mercenary at that!”
Wolfgang nonchalantly replied, “He is a foreigner, but he was trained at my base.”
Mr.
L sighed and said, “I understand trust among soldiers, remember I’m a soldier too, but General, the only issue is him being a foreigner, I can’t decide on my own.
If this is your choice, I need to consult my superiors.”
Wolfgang waved his hand and said, “Then consult them quickly, I’ll await your response.”
Mr.
L sighed, nodded at Gao Yang, and then left the office quickly.
Once only Gao Yang and Wolfgang remained, Gao Yang kept standing straight, one step away from the doorway, while Wolfgang didn’t seem intent on speaking and just paced back and forth.
After about two minutes, Mr.
L re-entered the office and immediately said urgently to Wolfgang, “General, we don’t have time to waste, my boss said he wants you to personally assure him that this gentleman is trustworthy.”
Wolfgang loudly said, “I repeat, I trust him.”
Mr.
L breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Very well, then let’s discuss how this operation will proceed, General, please brief me about this gentleman.”
General Wolfgang waved his hand and said, “There’s nothing much to introduce.
He trained the Kicking Squad, is that enough?”
Mr.
L looked enlightened and said, “He is the instructor of the Kicking Squad?
Hmm, that’s enough.
Should you brief him on the situation or should I?”
General Wolfgang furrowed his brow and said, “You have too many confidentiality rules.
To what extent am I allowed to speak?”
Mr.
L looked conflicted, clenched his hand into a fist, tapped it repeatedly on his mouth, and finally whispered, “I better do it.”
Mr.
L stood in front of Gao Yang, extended his hand, and after shaking hands with Gao Yang, he said gravely, “Mr.
Ram, hello, you can call me L, I am from Mossad.”
Gao Yang, having listened to the conversation between General Wolfgang and Mr.
L, had roughly understood why he was there, but he did not expect Mr.
L to straightforwardly tell him he was from Mossad.
Mossad is what?
It is Israel’s intelligence agency.
In terms of size, Mossad is smaller than America’s CIA and Soviet Russia’s KGB, but in terms of achievements, Mossad is in no way inferior to these two super intelligence agencies.
Gao Yang was somewhat surprised, and General Wolfgang was also a bit astonished as he said, “You can say that?”
Mr.
L said sternly, “Considering what we are about to do, Mr.
Ram, you would probably guess who we are dealing with.
It’s better to be thorough than to beat around the bush.
Mr.
Ram, I must reiterate that you should not utter a word about what you see and experience here.
Can you do that?”
Gao Yang said gravely, “Sir, I guarantee it.”
Mr.
L nodded and said, “Good.
Let me explain the situation.
Here it is.
We have a task that requires us to teach someone, who has never received combat training, to master certain lethal and reliable combat skills in a short time.
Honestly, we have many skilled fighters in Mossad, but none of them dares to guarantee turning a total novice into a killing machine in a short span of time.”
Mr.
L held Gao Yang’s hand for a long time; after saying two sentences, he finally released his hand and said gravely, “We must seek help, so we searched many units.
In the end, from all the violent institutions nationwide, we selected a martial art that could most likely be mastered in a short time.
Thus, we came here, and you would understand what martial art I am referring to.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “I should not be mistaken.”
Wolf joined in and said, “They came to me, and those you trained, they are not capable of undertaking such a critical teaching task.
Coincidentally, you arrived in Israel today, so I immediately called you here.
How about it, can you help me with this favor, are you confident?”
Gao Yang said gravely, “What exactly do you mean by a short time, and who exactly is the person I’m supposed to train?”
Gao Yang asked two critical questions.
Without knowing these, he couldn’t provide a definite answer.
As soon as Gao Yang spoke, Mr.
L immediately replied, “Starting now, you have between seventy-two and eighty hours.”
Seventy-two hours, that is, three days.
To turn a complete novice into a skilled fighter in three days—no, not even a skilled fighter, just to have the ability to strike a fatal blow was plainly an impossible task.
Furthermore, saying it was seventy-two hours did not mean those hours included no eating, drinking, or sleeping; thus, the actual practice time might at most be just sixty hours.
Gao Yang spent a month’s time evolving from an absolute novice pummeled by others in unarmed combat to being able to take down several robust men; this was already considered crash learning.
Moreover, it was because Li Jinfang’s Groin Kick indeed had the potential for rapid proficiency; otherwise, even the most basic military boxing would not yield any results in a month.
This was not mere posturing; it involved combat to the death.
To say one could fight to the death after three days of training was something only a foolhardy youth would claim, but to ensure one could win, could kill another and stay safe after only three days of training; who could guarantee that?
The timing was not merely tight; it was extremely tight.
Gao Yang was completely unsure.
The Groin Kick was simple, but it also wasn’t something one could master in just a few days.
Kung fu, kung fu, without hard work, how can one master any skill?
Gao Yang frowned and said, “The time is too tight.
What is the physical condition like?”
Although Gao Yang did not specify whose physical condition, everyone surely knew he was asking about the physical condition of the person he was supposed to train.
If it was a robust man, even without much foundation, it would definitely be a great advantage over a weaker woman.
What he feared most came true.
Mr.
L said with a bitter smile, “The physical condition is, to put it mildly, average…
no, you must know the real situation; the physical condition is very poor…”
Gao Yang was at a loss immediately.
He shook his head and said, “General, Mr.
L, I am really willing to help, but I am sorry, I can’t assist with this.
The timing is too tight.
I know your target must have the ability to deliver a fatal blow, but I truly cannot guarantee that.
I don’t want to hold back your important task, so you need to find someone else.”
Mr.
L looked disappointed, and General Wolfgang furrowed his brow and said, “I clearly know this task was hardly possible to begin with.
If we had a better option, I wouldn’t have asked you to come.
So, you must help with this favor.”
After saying this, General Wolfgang turned to Mr.
L and said, “Ram is the best person I could find, and also the best person you could find.
If you agree with what I said, bring your person in; if you disagree, you can leave.” (To be continued.
