980: Chapter 965: Free Postman 980: Chapter 965: Free Postman Gao Yang was somewhat surprised, but also wary, because he didn’t know what information Jack had leaked to whom.
Gao Yang said softly, “Who?
What did you say?”
Jack sighed, “It’s like this, Bruce was discharged from the army, so he still has friends serving there.”
“Yes, and then?”
“Bruce has a battle buddy still serving in the military, and you know I have a very good relationship with Bruce.
My profession and expertise are almost inseparable for military personnel, so one day Bruce brought his battle buddy to see me, and then I customized a MK23 for that battle buddy.”
“And then?”
“That person, he isn’t in the same unit as Bruce, but they are very close because Bruce saved his life.”
Gao Yang sighed, “Bruce has saved many people’s lives.”
Jack also sighed, “But this person is different, because if Bruce hadn’t risked his life to save him, he would certainly have died.”
“Others would certainly have died without Bruce too.”
“This person is different, Bruce used stimulants for the first time to save him.”
Gao Yang paused, “What’s his name?”
“Saniel Taylor.”
“Go on.”
Jack took a breath, “Bruce usually calls him Taylor.
Taylor, he’s not from the Marines or the Navy, he’s CCT.”
Gao Yang thought for a moment, “Air Force Combat Control Team?”
“Yes.”
Gao Yang gave a wry smile, “Bruce is from the Navy system, sent to the Marines as a medic, and he saved a CCT member.
Bruce fought in Iraq, so that means he saved him in Iraq.”
“That’s right, exactly.
Taylor was on a combat mission in Iraq, serving long-term as a coordinator for an MEU in the Marines.
But his relationship with Bruce started after Bruce saved him.
At that time, a sniper’s bullet penetrated his bulletproof vest and hit him under the ribs, causing severe blood loss.
Bruce exerted a great deal of effort, spent a long time, and went through a lot of difficulty to save his life.”
Gao Yang waved his hand, “Get to the point.”
Jack pursed his lips and whispered, “The day before yesterday, Taylor called me, hoping I could make a gun for him.
Then he asked about Bruce’s recent status.
He knew Bruce had become a mercenary, but he didn’t know how Bruce was doing recently.”
Jack looked up at Gao Yang and then said in a low voice, “Then I told him Bruce had died.”
Gao Yang said gravely, “What happened next?”
“After that, Taylor hung up the phone, but not long after, he choked up and asked me how Bruce had died.
I told him Bruce died in a conspiracy.
Then, just yesterday, Taylor called me, saying he wanted to avenge Bruce and he hoped I could help him get in touch with Bruce’s mercenary group.”
Gao Yang gently patted his thigh, “He’s a very loyal person.”
Jack nodded, “Yes, very loyal.
I didn’t tell him about Satan, nor did I tell him where Bruce died, but I told him that there was someone planning to take revenge for Bruce’s death.
Taylor said he hoped to get in touch with Bruce’s boss, that is, to get in touch with you.
He wants to get involved.”
Gao Yang said softly, “CCT, Air Force Combat Control Team, just the person I need.”
The Air Force Combat Control Team, abbreviated as CCT, was created for joint service combat operations.
The inception of the U.S.
Air Force Combat Control Group can be traced back to the Army Pathfinder program at the end of World War II, whose main purpose was to parachute in before large-scale airborne operations, select airborne sites, and guide airborne troops.
The Air Force Combat Control Team is a special operations force.
In Iraq, the Air Force Combat Control Team served as coordinators for various units, stationed long-term at liaison units of various military branches, mainly responsible for liaising between ground forces like the Army or the Marines and the Air Force during combat, as well as reporting intelligence collected by various military branches.
Apart from acting as liaisons, CCT also provides tactical communication support for special squad operations and, when necessary, members of the Air Force Combat Control Team also engage in combat themselves.
Members of the Air Force Combat Control Team are exceptional combat personnel and pilots, capable of flying various aircraft types under different weather conditions, conducting parachute operations as airborne soldiers, and possessing the skills to guide aircraft in attacking ground targets.
Without a doubt, the Air Force Combat Control Team is one of the most elite parts of the military.
Gao Yang’s plan to fight in Syria indeed needed someone like Taylor from the Air Force Combat Control Team.
Taylor was a talent that Gao Yang urgently needed, a rare find hardly seen in the Mercenary World.
Gao Yang chuckled and said to Jack, “I thought you were going to bring up something else, turns out you’re introducing a talent to me.
I’m very welcome to have Taylor join our mission to avenge Bruce.”
Jack gave a bitter smile and said, “Taylor is indeed incredible, but there’s a problem.”
Gao Yang curiously asked, “What problem?
Well, as long as Taylor is willing to join us, I’m willing to pay any amount.
I really need someone like him.”
Jack spread his hands and said, “He’s still in service.”
Gao Yang paused and asked, “Taylor is an active-duty soldier?”
Jack gave a bitter smile and said, “That’s the issue here, Taylor is still an active-duty soldier, and he’s currently on a mission.
I don’t even know where he is because it’s a military secret.
I also can’t reveal too much about your affairs to him, which is why I need to understand your intentions first.”
Gao Yang also gave a bitter smile and said, “A member of the Air Force Combat Control Team currently on a mission?
Well, unfortunately, it seems Taylor won’t make it in time.”
Jack thought for a moment and said, “Not necessarily.
Taylor is a very loyal person, and he owes Bruce a life.
He said if he could act with you guys, he would join you; if not, he would go it alone.
I think he’s serious about this.
If going solo had a plausible chance of success, he might have already started.
He said he could retire immediately.
Oh, and he hopes if you won’t let him join, at least tell him who the enemy is.”
Gao Yang immediately said, “Alright, give him a call, let me talk to him.
Maybe he can make it in time.”
Jack promptly took out his phone, dialed a few numbers, and soon said into the phone, “Hi, Taylor, this is Jack.
I’m with the person you’re looking for; he wants to talk to you.”
After finishing, Jack handed the phone to Gao Yang.
Gao Yang took the phone, apologetically smiled at Yelena, who had a sad look yet forced a smile, and left Jack’s lounge with the phone.
Once outside, Gao Yang softly said into the phone, “Hello.”
“Hello, I’m Taylor.
You can call me Postman, that’s my nickname.
Mr, I think Jack has already told you what I need.
I urgently request your help, can you tell me how Bruce died?”
Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, “He died saving us.
We lived, he died.”
Taylor was silent for a moment, then solemnly said, “I guessed as much.”
Gao Yang took a breath and said, “You can call me Ram.
I think we share a common identity, we’re both friends of Bruce.
As Bruce’s boss, I’m glad that besides us, there’s someone else willing to avenge Bruce at any cost.
However, Taylor, it seems you’re still in active duty, and we’re about to start our retaliatory action soon.”
“How soon?”
“In one week.”
After a moment of silence, Taylor said, “I’ll retire as soon as possible.
You said I’d spare no expense, and I do plan to do so.
At the latest, I’ll retire within a month.”
Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Then you can join our mission of revenge, and I’m glad to have extra strength coming.”
“Good, it sounds like you’ve agreed to my request.
Then, could you please tell me who the enemy is, and where you’re going?
I can’t tell you where I am, but I hope to come directly to you.”
Gao Yang solemnly said, “There are many enemies, in three parts, one of the main enemies has already been dealt with, just leaving some of his underlings.
The part we’re dealing with now is IS, so we’re about to head to Syria.
Another part is a Mercenary Group called Iron Madonna.”
Taylor sounded resigned as he said, “Sounds like there are a lot of enemies; I wonder how bad your relationships must be to have attracted so many enemies.
But never mind, whoever it is, we’ll just take them all down.”
Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Taylor, now that I know you want to avenge Bruce and you’re planning to join us, I have a request.
If you can fulfill it, I’ll let you join.”
“Please tell.”
“It’s simple, follow orders.
That’s my only request.”
“Mr.
Ram, I’m a professional soldier.
If I join you, it means I acknowledge your leadership.
So of course, I will follow orders.
If I ever think there’s a problem with your command or your people, I’ll notify you at an appropriate time, at least during peacetime rather than wartime, before leaving.”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “Very well, by the rules, now it’s your turn to make conditions.”
“I don’t have any conditions.”
“In the interest of our shared friendship, I must remind you that we are mercenaries, and I am currently paying to recruit people to fight for Bruce.
So, you can state how much you want as a fee.”
“Oh, I only want revenge.
I am satisfied that you’re willing to avenge Bruce, so I don’t want money, not even a cent.
I owe Bruce that, so you don’t need to pay me.
Even if you did, I wouldn’t take it.” (To be continued.
