?The Military Academy of the Russian General Staff, this name may be unfamiliar to most people in China, but if you mention another name it has used, then there are many people who believe that they know-General Staff Fu Roshilov Military Academy, a very loud and well-known former Soviet Red Army military academy, such as Bagramyan, Sokolov, Yakubowski, etc., these famous marshals in the Soviet military , is out of this school. /w\\

As the First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Federal General Staff and Head of Operations, Baluevsky came out of this academy nearly two decades ago, and before that he also studied at Leninger The senior command school of the various arms said without hesitation that within the federal military, he is the so-called "academic faction" general through and through. What is "School Party"? This thing cannot be as the name implies. It does not mean that generals who have attended military academies are academies. After all, among the generals of the former Soviet Union, there are almost few people who have not attended military academies. The "academic faction" mentioned here has a deep derogatory meaning. Among the senior generals of the federal military, those who have only attended military academies but have no military exploits are the so-called "academic factions". , in other words, this term is used to describe those books that only know how to talk on paper without any actual combat experience.

To be honest, it is more or less wrong to classify Baluyevsky as an "academic school". As a Russian born in Ukraine, although he has been around for nearly ten years, he has to When it was his turn to get up, he started from platoon commander and company commander step by step. However, after completing his advanced studies at the Leningrad Advanced Command Academy of various arms, his luck has not been very good. In the army, he has been serving as a staff officer, from the staff officer of the group army to the present. It is still a combat staff member in the General Staff Department. Even if there is a "chief" behind this staff member, he is still a deputy after all.

But having said that, it was precisely because he did not gain any military exploits in the process of getting up, and the entire promotion process was completely trained by his personal connections and patience, so he had a wide range of contacts within the military. With the exclusion and contempt of the academy, those young officers who grew up in peacetime are naturally more likely to get along with a boss like Baluyevsky who is sympathetic. These two reasons come together. In addition, Baluyevsky is a low-key person and is quite restrained and kind in dealing with people. Therefore, he is very popular among young officers. In other words, the military power he really controls should not be underestimated.

The rejection of him by those military veterans, Baluyevsky has experienced quite thoroughly over the years, and frankly, can he have no thoughts in his heart in the face of such a situation? Can you not be angry? That is obviously impossible. But the problem is that he will never show this dissatisfaction on his face. He has always believed in the Chinese saying, "Jun," he may not be a gentleman, and he may not be able to wait ten years. , but he can still wait for seven or eight years, the most important thing is in his eyes. Now this opportunity for revenge is not so far away, if there are not too many accidents. It won't be long before he can let those old guys who call themselves the patriarchs know that the power of young people cannot be ignored.

In the Kolevo farm villa located in the eastern suburbs of Moscow, Baluyevsky sat quietly in his study, blankly browsing a photocopied report in front of him, logically speaking. He had no chance to see this secret report that was enough to cause a political turmoil within the federation. Fortunately, there are still spies in this world. Those veteran factions may have military power and great power. But after all, they forgot a problem, that is, they are all very old. It is impossible for old men in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s to go out to carry out assassination missions. If they want to achieve a certain purpose, they have to recruit a large number of young people who have no military exploits and only academy experience. Among these young people, the early There are a lot of people who are dissatisfied with these old men

"They finally decided to do it." Putting the report in his hand lightly on the corner of the table, Baluyevsky said in a calm tone with an indifferent sneer on the corner of his mouth, "That person really came to Tokyo? Why do we Didn't get any news before?"

"General, I can't deal with a young man in a colonel's uniform. Although this man looks only in his early thirties, his face with an astonishing scar is full of cold aura. One can easily detect a bloodthirsty taste just by looking at him. Nikolayev, Colonel and Brigade Commander of the 12th Special Brigade of the Special Forces "GRU" under the Federal Military Intelligence Service, is also the The best colonel and brigade commander of the twenty-four special brigades of the GRU.

"I only know that the person is indeed not in the Far East, and the task given to me now is to arrange for someone to go to Tokyo to carry out the task," Nikolayev said of murder, as if it were a commonplace meal, he understatement said.

"Oh, how many people are they planning to have?" Baluyevsky asked, seemingly absent-mindedly.

"Four sniper teams," Nikolayev replied, "and at their request, I must carry out this mission myself."

"Haha. I can see that. They are determined to win." One hand stroked his chin. Baluyevsky smiled. "Guo Shouyun. This person... is so interesting."

"General's meaning..." Nikolayev asked subconsciously.

"Bosov ah." Baluyevsky suddenly called out Nikolayev's nickname. he said softly. "Remember that I once asked you a question. What is the biggest capital that Guo Shouyun has. Hehe. I remember you gave it to me. One is money. One is connections. The other is brains."

"It's General. I still remember this." Nikolayev nodded and replied.

"Actually, in my opinion. Although these three answers are not wrong, they are not the most important places." Shaking his head. Baluyevsky laughed. "In my opinion. Guo Shouyun's biggest capital should be these two—luck. Courage."

Get up from the chair. Baluyevsky walked slowly to the window. He said aftertaste: "Luck is the most solid armor that God blesses a person. Courage is the most powerful weapon that Satan bestows on a person. If the same person can possess these two magic weapons at the same time. Haha. Then his success is doomed. As for Guo Shouyun. He is just such a lucky person. He is a combination of contradictions. I have observed him for so long. He has both great good and great evil. The most interesting Yes. In the eyes of the good people, he is a great person. But in the eyes of the evil people, he is a monstrous being. From this point of view, he seems to be a combination of God and Satan. Earth mix."

Nikolayev's expertise is in killing, but it is difficult for him to consider such philosophical topics, although Baluyevsky's words are very simple. For a person like Guo Shouyun, good people can always see the good things he has done, the good things that have benefited tens of millions of people in the Far East, and the bad things in the eyes of the evil ones. Because of this, those important military personnel who want to kill him will naturally do whatever it takes to discredit him, thus whitewashing him as a downright villain, and in another direction, if someone doesn't want Guo Shouyun to die, they even want him to die. To be able to stand with him to deal with those military officials with ulterior motives, Mr. Guo Da's evaluation will be another way of saying. To put it simply, Baluyevsky's meaning is very simple, there is no distinction between good and evil, and the reason for this distinction is entirely in the evaluation of others.

If Nikolayev's political mind is clear enough, he now knows what the old general intends for him to do, but the problem is that he can't think about these issues, so Baluyevsky has to Speak more clearly.

"Many people now hope that Guo Shouyun will die, and the worse the death, the better," Baluyevsky sighed, thinking that if his cronies were as smart as Guo Shouyun, he would what a better day

Although he sighed in his heart, he said something else: "But the real problem is that Guo Shouyun's life is the reason for his survival, you think, his sweet wives always I don't want him to die, right? Those who are attached to him don't want him to die, right? Tens of millions of Far Easterners believe that not many people are looking forward to him dying. I don't know, at least, I'd rather see him follow some people than hope that he'll be destroyed by some despicable means. Speaking of which, Nina's child is also my junior. Come to Moscow, if I didn't have too much wishful thinking, she should come here to visit me. I'm a little worried now, if Guo Shouyun died at this time, how should I deal with this old general's orphan?"

Nikolayev suddenly realized, he straightened up and said blankly, "I understand the general, I know what to do."

"No, no, no, you still don't understand," Baluyevsky said, smiling and shaking his head, "someone secretly goes to Tokyo, some secretly wants to kill some people in Tokyo, and in this world, and There are not only two people and two positions, it is certain that there are still people watching in secret."
