Mountain Eagle eats while he stands guard, Mountain Eagle sleeps while he keeps watch, Mountain Eagle heads out while he drives...
Even those two packs of espionage materials, which cost the Seals dearly in casualties and the United States a staggering loss, were escorted by Sam to the Central Investigative Bureau.
There's no way around it; right now, the most pressing matter is to bring back the notebook from Mountain Eagle's possession!
As for the espionage materials, aside from the Thai spy records that must be drawn out, the remaining intelligence on the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia is negotiable.
The United States has spent a hefty amount of resources on spy accumulation in Southeast Asia over the past few decades, and now if you want to return while also keeping the Thais silent, you have to give them plenty of benefits.
Sam feels very pained because he is part of those benefits...
Apart from staying with Mountain Eagle until the delivery of the Mark V SOC special warfare boat, he also needs to coordinate with Thai Police for the systematic training of the 191 squad, while also assisting them in re-equipping according to the standards of the Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) through an International Defense Company...
The top brass of the police force are fed up with the various embarrassing incidents involving the 191 squad over the past few months, so they were included in the negotiations and achieved quite satisfactory results.
The unluckiest ones here are Sam and his fellow Seals...
The United States Department of State and the CIA staff in Thailand have been dismissed or investigated; who else is left to face the thunder if not them?
Not only Sam and his men but also the tactical teams responsible for their logistics have been sent to Thailand.
The formal name for Seal Six Team is 'Navy Special Warfare Development Group.' Each Seal team on a mission has a logistics team responsible for providing them with technical and intelligence support from the rear.
Logistics support is also part of the training, so these individuals have also been sent to Thailand for an exchange.
"Sam, what the hell are they doing?"
Inside the training grounds of the Bangkok 191 squad, a friendly-looking bearded US Army Captain wearing regular clothes stands by Sam...
He watches as the intact members of AC Squad stand in pairs with stopwatches at the testing ground, incessantly shouting reminders about the time to the training soldiers of the 191 squad...
The bearded man looks at Sam, whose expression is somewhat numb, and spreading his hands, he says, "What in the hell is this situation?
We're only responsible for training; selection should be a problem for the Thais themselves."
Sam glances at Mountain Eagle chatting in the distance with several other guys in uniform, then says listlessly, "But someone thinks the standards should be raised...
If you saw the selection criteria that guy listed, you'd know that no new soldiers could be chosen for the 191 combat squad based on his standards.
If there are no soldiers, we have to wait for them, and just thinking about having to stay here for a long time makes my heart uncomfortable.
Michelle has issued me an ultimatum; if I don't replace the car, refrigerator, and kitchenware at home by the end of this year, she'll replace me.
As a result, our bonus was withheld because of a failure that wasn't our fault."
As he speaks, Sam looks at the bearded man, expressing supreme frustration, "Bill, I've been on long-term deployment, I've been through the worst situations, but because of that guy, Thailand is unbearable to me!"
The bearded Bill, frowning and looking at Sam showing a bit of fragility, curiously says, "Why?
What's so special about that guy?"
Sam glances again at Mountain Eagle laughing in the distance, shakes his head, and doesn't speak...
The deputy team leader, Rondo, grins and says, "That guy is a devil!
He seems to get along with everyone, but in reality, he's a devil who's adept at tormenting people, especially his enemies and us innocents!"
Rondo, with a strange expression, looks at the curious Bill and says, "You know about the Round Table Knights, right?"
Bill nods and says, "I know, those guys caused us great losses with just one ambush!
I heard that the United States Department of Justice is negotiating an extradition with the Thai side."
Rondo seems to remember something, grinning and saying, "That guy initially had only two members of the Round Table Knights, an old man, and three wounded who've gone missing.
At first, I thought those guys had escaped, but it turns out they were cornered by the Big Russian Gang in a residence in Pattaya."
"That bastard had the gang seal the door of the civilian house with cement, then raised the surrounding wall to 5 meters high, and cut off the water and electricity!
They didn't negotiate surrender, didn't shout demands, didn't communicate...
Do you know what happened in the end?"
Bill, with disbelieving eyes, asked, "What happened in the end?"
The short and stocky Rondo made a hair-raising expression and said with a creepy tone, "It's said that those guys ate everything edible in the house, then survived on drinking urine for three days. When they were carried out, three of the wounded had maggots in their wounds!
Arthur of the Round Table Knight paid 2 million British Pounds to give them a chance for a fair trial, otherwise, those guys might have rotted in that house."
Bill, incredulous, said, "Arthur of the Round Table Knight paid 2 million British Pounds?
FUCK, paying 2 million British Pounds just to let them face trial?
If he gave me that money, I'd be willing to lead a raid to rescue the prisoners!"
Upon hearing this, Sam shook his head and said, "Even if you want to go, don't drag me into it...
Thailand now is not the same Thailand we used to deal with!"
As he spoke, Sam glanced at Mountain Eagle in the distance, sighed, and said, "I once thought I was the best soldier, drop me into any battlefield with anyone, and I'd be the last one standing.
But that guy makes me feel fear, just like Rondo said, that guy is a devil!"
Bill, curious, looked at Rondo, who could relate, and asked, "What did that devil do to you guys?"
Rondo spread his hands and said, "What he did to us, none of it's too much on its own, but we just feel like butter squeezed in a hydraulic press...
That guy is squeezing us, but we just can't refuse!"
Bill, after listening, looked over at the gaunt Sam and said, "Really? Can't you just file a complaint?"
Sam, in pain, shook his head and said, "You might not understand if I tell you...
No matter how I talk to him about anything, in the end, I always leave saying 'thank you sir' like I'm possessed.
It's only after I leave his office and close the door behind me, that I realize I've got nothing!
The guy always seems to be smiling, but he is a devil..."
As he spoke, Sam watched as a team of medics rushed into the training ground with a stretcher, and he painfully rubbed his temples, saying, "You might not believe me, but I kinda envy these recruits, because if they fall, they can get out...
I feel if I fell, that guy wouldn't mind making soup out of my bones to feed the new recruits!"
Bill looked at the dejected Sam with some surprise and said, "Isn't that a bit exaggerated?
I think that guy seems quite amiable..."
As he said this, Bill looked at the soldiers crawling and scrabbling in the training ground, frowning, he said, "I also don't find this routine selection process to be that cruel?"
Sam looked at Bill, shook his head, and said, "Take a closer look and you'll see, for the unprepared recruits, this place is hell..."
Bill hesitated for a moment, looked around the training ground at the various activities, and said, "Push-ups, sit-ups, obstacle runs, armed swims, 5-kilometer long runs...
That's it? This is hell?
Are you guys out of your minds?"
Sam, with his arm around Bill's shoulder, pointed to the finish line of the 5-kilometer run and said, "Take a closer look..."
Bill stared at the direction Sam was pointing for a few minutes...
"oh shit..."
