When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield

“Senior, is sniping your specialty? Or is it your specialty?”

Harry asked on the way back from the operation.

With twinkling eyes

After lightly shaking my head, the next question continued.

“Then did you receive sniper training?”

“no.”

“however… How do you get those skills… … .”

Even while he was talking, he continued to say what he had to say as if playing a drum and drum by himself.

“Ah, of course I heard about the sniping from senior. He said he reverse-sniped the enemies in Camarnia and killed them all… So it must be true that the M4 killed an enemy at a range of 0.6 to 0.7 miles (about 1-1.1 km).”

I was about to reply nonchalantly, but I hesitated at the unit that came out of Harry’s mouth.

The distance I sniped with the M4 was 600-700M enemies, but that was because it increased by 1.5 times.

“What is this again… Where do you pick up bullsh*t like that?”

“yes? Isn’t it?”

“Amman but still, how can I cover one kilometer on the M4… … .”

I hesitated while trying to answer.

It was because the thought that I could hit it well passed by.

I didn’t think about it because I didn’t have to do it, but I thought it would be good if I did it.

Of course, it would never be easy as the distance increased by 1.5 times, but there was nothing impossible.

Just like on the day Sergei died, if you had no teeth, you would fight with your gums.

And theoretically, there was nothing that couldn’t be done.

It wasn’t a ridiculous distance that was long enough to get out of the maximum range.

Of course, it was only possible because of the sharpshooter’s characteristics, but it was clear that it was so impossible that he dared not even think of it during his active career.

It was because the distance from the ‘km’ unit was allowed only for snipers who had undergone sufficient training.

So, it was around the time I thought about seriously practicing assault rifle sniping.

Harry’s voice broke out again.

“Ah, so it’s a little inflated?”

“It’s not miles, it’s meters.”

“If it is a meter… You mean 600 meters? Oh, that’s great, too.”

“So the first shot was all blown.”

“Doesn’t that mean you got everything right the second time?”

“You should have got it right. Or I would be dead.”

I answered lightly, but this was the truth.

If it was a little late, I would have been attacked by Sergei’s snipers.

While briefly looking down at the TAC-50, which weighed nearly 12 kg, Jose’s voice was heard through the headset this time.

-Lee, did you go to America and get an injection?

“injection?”

-Yes, Super Soldier injection. Didn’t you get the sniper system upgraded?

“Oh, that’s interesting.”

-Then you should laugh and say it. no… So what the hell have you been doing? Did you come from rehabilitation at Fort Benning (a US general military base located in Georgia)? Or was it at the Marine Corps Sniper School?

“Are you talking about the sniper training course? I’d like to take that one, but… The training period was longer than my vacation.”

-I’m going crazy. I never thought I’d take a joke seriously. Have you thought about going for it? What does a skilled person who hits a target faster than a former Navy SEAL sniper learn? I did it when I was an instructor.

Marcus’ voice followed.

-Oh, I almost forgot about it. Should I give you $100? Former sniper Mr.

-… sh*t.

It seemed like another bet was made between the two.

Harry’s voice was heard behind Jose’s muttered profanity.

“if… Injection, is there really such a thing?”

A look of anticipation and tension.

“Well, there are some rebels who run after being drugged.”

“ah… That is to say there is no I wonder if… This is because the existence of the team itself is very secretive. however… … .”

“But what?”

“Where are you going on vacation? Shouldn’t I go with you after it’s over… … .”

“With me?”

“Yes, aren’t you going to the shooting range too? Even if I don’t go, I want to be with you.”

“… Do as you please.”

I answered roughly, but since then, we have been together continuously.

I don’t know if Jake, who was quiet, heard it all and did it, or if it was his intention from the beginning, but anyway, Harry moved like my limbs and started to assist.

Nothing got in the way or got stuck.

It was because he was a talented person from the beginning, so he moved quickly on his own.

He was good at both his skills and his eyesight.

Even in the reconnaissance and short medium-to-long-range engagements that followed after the sniping, Harry played his part well enough.

From the first observer to the driver to the firearms officer.

Not just me, but around the time when the entire team and Harry’s breath were getting along quite well.

Finally, the operation order came down.

I thought I had been told before, but it wasn’t.

“I heard it was decided a little hastily.”

“Wow, I didn’t expect to hear that name here. Israel?”

As Jose asked, it was a request from Israel.

Even the head of the operation was Lieutenant Colonel Ashaf Barinan, the commander of Sairet Matkal (Israeli Special Forces), whom he had met before and who had often given work in Lareple.

After mentioning the person in charge, Jake moved his gaze to me and added a few words.

“They said Lee’s participation was conditional this time, just like the last time.”

“You mean again? But the place I was last time was Al Zamash, and this is Congo… What the hell do you want me to do here?”

Jose asked in amazement, and Jake immediately opened his mouth.

“They say we need to get the Jews out.”

“ah… … .”

At that, I also shook my head.

I’ve heard stories about it when we worked together in the past.

duty to protect the Jews.

It was said that Israel had a responsibility to protect Jews wherever they were in the world.

If the person concerned wanted it, they brought it to the land of Israel.

In any case, it is clear that he took special care of them beyond imagination, and that seemed to have been applied this time as well.

An explanation was then added.

“… First of all, the shared fact is that the area of operation is the southern part of the Central African Republic, and that we have to start right there. Other details were not communicated due to security reasons, and it was likely to be disseminated on the same day.”

“You have to go right away? Oh, what a f*cking… I’m going to have a hard time this time too.”

“Instead, I heard that the allowance was substantial, so don’t be too heartbroken.”

“Don’t we have a generous emergency fund?”

“There will be more than twice that. In the event of a skirmish, we promised to double it there on the condition of mission success.”

“uh… is it so? Then I won’t be sorry.”

Jose said as if agreeing.

As he has sons and daughters, he must have a lot of income.

A married man with three daughters, even the silent Marcus was quite bright at the news.

‘but… For hundreds of thousands of dollars in one operation… … .’

Around the time of calculating the amount caught on my basis.

Jake approached me before I knew it and patted me on the back while talking quietly.

I wondered what it meant, but I understood it belatedly.

“… They said it was yours.”

“… … !”

A whopping $2 million.

In addition, if the condition Jake mentioned is that the mission is successful after the engagement, it will be 4 million dollars.

In terms of Hanwha, it was about 5 billion won.

‘oh… … .’

G&G Corp gave me 100 times my monthly salary, and 40 times more than the State Department’s monthly emergency fund.

However, when I heard that number, it seemed funny that it gave me strength.

No, that was enough motivation.

It was because all the money he had received before had been poured into buying a house, construction work, buying a car, and arranging weapons and equipment.

Almost a million dollars spent.

I still had extra money, but I didn’t see it as a lot.

Hyeongung, an anti-tank and anti-helicopter weapon, is a weapon that costs 100 to 200 million won in Korean currency, so there is no money left to buy one.

Of course, I had to find out if I could buy it, if it could be stored or used, and if there was a strategy that I could use, but the important thing was that everything was meaningless without money.

Once you have money, you will buy something or not.

While thinking about that, Jake turned around and said.

“Then everyone packs up and gathers, leaving in 10 minutes.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Late evening, outside Mpoko International Airport in Bangui, Central African Republic.

It was a time when weapons brought separately through military aircraft were being distributed and checked in a vehicle prepared in advance.

Tumble, zig, zig, zig, zig.

The sound of stepping on dirt and gravel echoed.

Harry, sitting in the driver’s seat and watching the outside, checked the approaching people through his night vision goggles.

Two people dressed as locals.

Accordingly, it was time to raise a gun in the car and radio the appearance of the behemoth at the same time.

Glitter.

In the dark, an infrared laser flickered and sent a signal.

It was promised in advance.

The location of the car parked outside the airport, where Charlie’s team is now, has also been talked about.

In response, Jake also blinked his lantern to send a signal and lightly finished the tangent.

And a short greeting came over to Jake as he got out of the car.

“This is Jonathan, who was in charge of directing the way.”

Jake, who was shaking hands at this, tilted his head.

“… It’s not a siret mat knife. Are you from the Mossad?”

It was a question instead of an answer.

It was because the other person’s appearance and words and actions were more like an intelligence agency than a military agency.

And soon the answer Jake expected came back.

“You have a good eye. After rescuing the victims, Sairet Matkal, you mentioned, will only be in charge of handing over, transporting, and providing cover to the airport.”

“… So, is this our solo operation?”

It was because the Mossad provided directions and Sairet Matkal was in charge of cleanup.

In other words, it means that only Charlie’s team is put in.

Before long, Jonathan, a member of the Mossad, opened his mouth.

“Before I explain, this is a completely unofficial operation with no Israeli interference. This is an operation requested by the requester in contact with a private mercenary, and we are not Mossad… It serves only as a local guide.”

At the last word, Harry nodded.

It was because when I first saw them approaching, they looked like locals with no flaws in their appearance or attitude.

The moment we shook hands and spit out words, people changed.

Jake replied calmly.

“It will be difficult to hear that answer… You should listen closely to the plan.”

“Okay, then I will explain.”

As if Jonathan had been waiting, he took out several maps and photos from his bosom, put them on the car seat, and explained while lighting a lantern.

From the condition and approximate identity of the victim to the operation area, rescue plan, movement route, and various precautions.

There were quite a few dangerous words in it.

Wanted facts from armed groups, bounties on the line, areas where you have to turn off all vehicle lights and pass through in blackout when traveling, and so on.

‘okay… They won’t just give you money.’

Around the time when Kang Tae thought it would not be easy.

After the explanation, Jonathan opened his mouth.

“We have 40 minutes until the start of the operation.”
