Insufficient balance

  Although the 29th Action Bureau's operation was highly praised on the surface, with commendations and rewards from both the United Nations and the French military, there were still some unexpected surprises. These things would not be made public, but they were all listed one by one in the internal review meeting after the fact.

  It must be said that Bao Yulin's performance as the team leader of the 29th Action Bureau during his first special mission was very disappointing, and it is even possible that his momentary soft-heartedness affected the entire operation and put the whole team in danger. In the post-case review meeting, "Tuna" bluntly pointed out the existing problems at that time.

  "In the words of 'Goldfish', 'Chameleon' made several serious mistakes at that time. Firstly, he failed to strictly execute the predetermined plan and clear any obstacles in the first place, which almost gave the enemy reaction time or even alerted them. The combat method of special forces is more reflected in flexibility, rapid response, and strong concealment. It differs from regular combat units in that it emphasizes personal ability and coordination between each other due to the constraints of task execution conditions. How can teammates put their backs on him with confidence if they do things like 'Chameleon'?"

  Secondly, the "Chameleon" insisted on taking away the baby in the end, which made the entire team suddenly appear non-combat casualties. Although special operations also emphasize humanitarianism, this is done under the premise of ensuring everyone's safety and with conditions. If an accident occurred at that time, the baby would drag down the entire team. Therefore, the "Chameleon"'s approach was extremely unreasonable.

  Such post-war review is a tradition of the 29th Action Bureau, which will analyze the gains and losses of each person in the combat environment at the first time after the war, summarize the experience and lessons, so that the troops will not encounter similar problems and situations in future actions.

  In the final summary, everyone analyzed the situation at that time and came to the conclusion that Bai Yulin and his team were extremely lucky that day. Perhaps it was because of the baby that Muhammad Kuku's eardrum had thick curtains hung up for soundproofing, which made the woman's cries not disturb others, plus "Tuna" handled it decisively, this is the guarantee for them to complete the task smoothly. Of course, Bai Yulin's reasonable arrangement was the key to the success of this mission. As for the baby's affairs, no one delved deeper into it, after all, everyone got a bonus, and basically, there should still be humanitarianism. However, it is not difficult to see that from this action, the old foxes in the 29th Action Bureau recognized Bai Yulin, the new commander-in-chief, for his commanding ability, but did not like his overly emotional/colorful performance.

  Bao Yulin certainly knew his situation at the time. However, he himself did not know that if there was another such situation, whether he would take action without hesitation. Perhaps this is just the nature of Chinese people.

  。。。。。。

  If Bao Yulin seemed a bit immature during the execution of "Operation Hunt", even making everyone feel uneasy, then in the subsequent series of actions, Bao Yulin's performance was impressive. The unique delicacy of Eastern people and the Chinese virtue of being diligent and hardworking made Bao Yulin and his team perform even better in their future missions. Many times, Bao Yulin's dialectical thinking reduced harm to a minimum. The impact of tense and complex environments and teamwork is undeniable, and as time went on, Bao Yulin became increasingly mature.

  。。。。。。

  Bao Yulin was leaning on the bed watching TV, when "Doggie", "Canned Tuna" and a few others burst in without knocking. Bao Yulin didn't mind, this was all too familiar. On the battlefield, he would have to entrust his back to them after all.

  "Chameleon, want to go clubbing? I'm buying!" "Dog Bear" greeted Bao Yulin. This guy had recovered from his injuries and had actively requested a transfer to Bao Yulin's team. Perhaps it was because Bao Yulin had saved his life on the yacht that time, but he had a particularly close relationship with Bao Yulin and would always think of him when something came up.

  "No, you guys go ahead and play, I won't be going." It's rare to have a day off, but Bao Yulin would rather stay in the barracks and watch TV. Besides, the kind of place the military club is doesn't suit him. Although Bao Yulin doesn't mind strippers and beer, it always gives him a somewhat murky feeling.

  "Alright, you don't know that 'Chameleon' is actually Chinese. I heard in China, everyone only wears clothes of three colors: green, blue and white, and their country doesn't have bars." The "Ostrich" said with a sly smile. As they spent more time together, they understood each other better, and everyone knew that although Bao Yulin didn't talk much usually, he didn't mind cracking jokes.

  "No, no, Chinese people believe in Buddhism. Buddhists can't get intimate with women or drink alcohol, otherwise they'll go to hell after death, so 'Chameleon' never goes out with us to have fun. Are you a Buddhist?" "Hunting Dog" is new here, but after going on several missions, he has already blended into the group. The young man is quite lively and everyone likes him.

  "A Buddhist?" Bai Yulin scratched his head, seemingly recalling that he had filled in "Buddhist" when filling out the military registration form. However, that was unavoidable. In the eyes of Europeans, a person without faith is unreliable, so at the time, he casually wrote down Buddhism, although he himself was an atheist.

  "You people, if you don't understand, then don't talk nonsense. Do you know what a Buddhist is? The first criterion for being a Buddhist is that you can't kill living things, and then you can't eat meat either. Are you saying I look like a Buddhist?" Fortunately, everyone was in a good mood, so Bao Yulin also liked the relaxed atmosphere and joked with them a bit.

  "Can't kill life? Can't eat meat either?" "Hunting dog" exaggeratedly patted his head: "Then why did you join the army? How can you survive without eating meat?"

  A group of people burst out laughing. Based on these two criteria, no one would believe that the "Chameleon" was a Buddhist. Being a soldier is all about fighting, let alone special forces operating in war zones, where every mission could result in killing someone, or being killed yourself. Over the past few years, the "Chameleon" had been promoted to lieutenant due to his repeated successes in using sniper rifles to eliminate obstacles for his teammates during missions, directly or indirectly saving many lives. As a result, Bao Yulin had to give up his leave several times and stay on the front lines. However, this didn't matter much to Bao Yulin. In France, apart from the army, he didn't know where else to go. When it came to eating meat, the equipment for a single soldier in the 29th Action Bureau weighed over 20 kilograms, and during long outdoor missions, they would often be on the move for an entire day, consuming huge amounts of energy that couldn't be sustained without large quantities of animal protein and fat.

  "Alright, 'Chameleon', stop being a puritan and staying in the barracks all the time. I heard that some Parisian girls have arrived at the club, they're top-notch, let's go have some fun together! Don't worry, as long as you don't put your hands under their skirts, the military police won't bother you." "Tuna" was also in a rare good mood, usually he didn't go to play.

  "It doesn't matter even if you stick it in, as long as you've got cash in your hand!" said the "Ostrich" with a sly tone. He was also transferred from the Foreign Legion, but he's a standard Frenchman. Nobody knows his history, but judging by his appearance, he wasn't a good guy to begin with.

  Bao Yulin smiled: "When the time comes for you to be locked up, you'll know that money is useless. Otherwise, you go first, and I'll send some money home before joining you." After all, they were comrades in the same trench, and it wasn't good to leave him too far behind.

  "Alright, we'll wait for you at the club." "Tuna" was quite happy, he was also dragged away by "Hound Dog", "Chameleon" went, so it wouldn't be too monotonous for him to be alone.

  A few people walked to the door, chuckling and laughing. "Dog Bear" hesitated for a moment, asking: "'Chameleon', all these years, I've always seen you sending money back home, but never saw you write a letter, nor did your family members ever respond with letters. Are they illiterate?" Bao Yulin was one of the few people in the 29th Action Bureau who didn't have any external contacts. The others were either because they had no relatives left, but Bao Yulin often sent large sums of money back to China, yet never contacted his family. "Dog Bear" had noticed this for a long time.

  Bao Yulin was stunned. He had been in France for more than 5 years, and he had sent back almost all of his salary and bonuses as living expenses. For such a long time, he didn't even know the situation of his mother and sister, or if they had received the money. What if it had been intercepted by someone? That would be a huge amount of money.

  "China isn't as backward as you imagine, my family members can read too. Alright, go have fun first, I'll write them a letter and then head over." Bao Yulin thought to himself that he should get in touch with his family, his contract was going to expire in more than a year's time, and he would eventually have to return home to take a look around.

  "Go ahead, you're busy, we'll go take a look at the Parisian girls and see if they're pretty or not." Obviously, everyone saw the unnatural expression on "Chameleon"'s face, and "Tuna" pulled "Puppy Bear", and a group of people left Bao Yulin's room.

  。。。。。。

  In fact, this letter had been brewing in Bao Yulin's mind for a long time, but he didn't dare to write it down. He was worried that after sending out the letter, he would receive a huge bill, and then he would have no way out. But what needs to be faced will eventually need to be faced.

  Bao Yulin put down a piece of his mind and wrote down everything that had happened to him over the past few years on paper. Of course, some confidential matters would not be written in, as he knew that his letters would be inspected. This was also one of the rules. The letter also included several times he was awarded honors. He hoped to use this letter to convince his family that he was an excellent soldier and a good military man wherever he was, let alone betraying his country.

  。。。。。。

  "Captain, are you sending money to China again?" The people at the military post office were already used to it that every month when salaries were issued, this Chinese captain would send most of his salary back home.

  "Yes, and there's another letter, can you help me send it out?" Bao Yulin smiled as he handed over the letter and check.

  "Don't worry, it will be mailed out after inspection." The military postal worker stamped the envelope of Bao Yulin's letter heavily.

  When handing over the letter and remittance to the military post office, Bao Yulin hesitated for a long time, but in the end he convinced himself that this matter had to be resolved.

  After sending the letter, Bao Yulin felt much more relaxed, as if he had put down something in his heart. He suddenly thought that maybe going with "Dog Bear" and having a few beers was not a bad idea, besides, he had promised them. So, Bao Yulin walked towards the club.

  。。。。。。

  Just as Bao Yulin was about to arrive at the club, the roar of a car engine came from behind him. As the sound approached rapidly, Bao Yulin became alert. In the barracks, there were strict speed limits for vehicles, and it was unlikely that anyone would drive so fast. What's going on?

  Bao Yulin's head turned vigilantly, a white sedan was speeding towards him, and it seemed to be about to hit him. Bao Yulin was startled, and hastily jumped to the side of the road.

  The car whizzed past him without any hesitation and headed straight for the club.

  What's going on? Bao Yulin was stunned, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been hit by the car. Who is driving like this in the military camp? Obviously, there won't be a white car in the troops. Suddenly, Bao Yulin thought of his sniper instructor Bal's death in the foreign legion. Is this another car bomb incident? Anyway, just because it almost hit him earlier, it's suspicious.

  Without time to think, Bao Yulin pulled out his handgun and fired all the bullets in the chamber at the white sedan's tires. Unfortunately, the car was going too fast, and in a split second, it crashed straight into the club's entrance, with the entire body of the car smashing inside. Immediately after, there was a loud "boom" as the car exploded, blowing open the club's entrance and shattering all the glass nearby. From the force of the explosion, Bao Yulin knew that this was another case of a car bomb.

  Thinking of his companions "Dog Bear" and "Canned Tuna", Bao Yulin became anxious. He didn't have time to think carefully, and he rushed to the club in a hurry.

  。。。。。。

  When Bao Yulin ran to the club, people with blood all over their faces had already started coming out one after another. Without hesitation, Bao Yulin rushed into the club. No one knew what the situation was like inside the club; now going in, every life saved counted.

  When Bao Yulin carried out the third injured person he saw, ambulances, fire trucks and gendarmes had arrived. They set up isolation belts and cleared everyone including Bao Yulin away. No one knew if there were any more explosives.

  Bao Yulin was very anxious, repeatedly saying that he had several subordinates in the club. However, the military police did not pay attention to him and only let him go back and wait for news. At this time, someone recognized that it was Bao Yulin who fired at the sedan earlier.

  The gendarmes were on high alert and immediately surrounded Bao Yulin.

  Now that things have come to this point, Bao Yulin knew he had no way out and could only follow the military police to the gendarmerie headquarters to explain the situation.

  。。。。。。

  A few hours later, the Garrison Command confirmed that Bao Yulin was not a suspect. It was a captain of the Garrison Command who escorted Bao Yulin out of the gate.

  "Ensign, I just received word that several of your companions who were seated closest to the door are now all in the hospital, injured and receiving treatment. They will likely be transferred back to France for further care soon. If you need it, I can arrange for a car to take you to the hospital."

  The captain was being vague, but Bao Yulin could tell that there was no need to go to the hospital. At the time of the explosion, he had seen it with his own eyes, and if he said that his companions were all near the door, the consequences would be terrible.

  "Thank you. I need your help." Bao Yulin gave the captain a neat and tidy salute, not because he was his superior, but because he could think for himself, and he knew how much he longed to see his companions now.
