[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

You shout along with everyone else.

You never expected that you could call him Mr. Lars yesterday and now you can address him by his first name directly.

However, the fact that he didn't use a code name and went straight to his real name is somewhat surprising, especially since most people in the base use code names.

"Alright, you can continue."

After the introduction, Ghost left without disturbing your training.

This is just a description of the main job; the auxiliary job may not be as important, so the person in charge is not specifically introduced.

After they left, Koenig pulled out a small blackboard and started drawing on it with chalk.

Before long, a simple drawing of stick figures will appear before your eyes.

Chapter 37: Kill the hostage first

"When carrying out a mission, the enemy may take people hostage, or even your teammates, to achieve their goals."

"There are also distinctions in this situation, for single people and for groups of people."

"First, when you're alone, don't take risks. This will not only put you in danger but also harm the hostages. But whether you're alone or in a group, the first thing to do is to stabilize the enemy's emotions and then secretly increase support. The more support you provide, the higher your chances of rescuing them will be."

After saying that, Koenig added the labels "enemy," "hostage," and "negotiator" to the blackboard that originally had three stick figures, and then drew another small figure.

Labeled as: Sniper/Assault

"In hostage rescue, besides negotiators, the next most important are snipers and assault soldiers. They can assist you in striking the enemy, thereby rescuing the hostages."

He then added a few more enemies and one friendly character, labeled as: Intelligence Analyst.

"In situations where the enemy personnel and terrain are more complex, intelligence analysts can compile the available intelligence to analyze the terrain, infiltration routes, and optimal firing positions."

.......

After the explanation, you have a basic understanding of the role of key personnel and how to deal with some emergencies.

Koenig spoke concisely but clearly, and some of his coping strategies were very effective.

He spoke fluently and clearly throughout, and his demeanor was very upright.

Indeed, when a person teaches others in their area of ​​expertise, their confident demeanor makes them seem to radiate light.

After the explanation, it was time for practical training. Ten people were divided into groups of five, forming two camps: one for kidnappers and one for rescuers.

The extra people can be used to play the role of hostages.

This time, there's no need to draw blind boxes; Koenig will distribute them randomly.

And unsurprisingly, you're on Blizzard's side again.

Moreover, he was scheduled to play in the first round.

The venue will be the indoor training ground used for previous exercises.

Because Blizzard lacked patience and you weren't interested, the negotiator was given to another teammate.

You chose the sniper, while Blizzard chose the assault rifleman.

Your task is simple: find a concealed spot to scout out the environment, the location of the hostages, and the distribution of the enemy, and then report back to the intelligence analyst.

You choose to be behind cover in the corner inside the door, where you can use the shadows to increase concealment.

"3 o'clock is slightly to the left, 25 meters away. 1 o'clock is 30 meters away. 11 o'clock is slightly to the right, 15 meters away..."

You reported the enemy's location one by one.

Next, the hostages' location was located.

"The hostage is here... how could it be him?"

You recognize the person sitting in the chair, bound in the video.

The sound of blizzard rang in my headphones.

"Who?"

You snorted: "It's nothing, just one of the people I had a conflict with a couple of days ago."

It wasn't Lake, the one you were fighting with, but someone else, Joseph.

I never expected that you would train with him so quickly, and that you would even be rescuing him.

Where are the hostages?

It must be an inquiry from an intelligence analyst.

"Slightly to the right of 12 o'clock, about 30 meters away."

You confess the truth.

After all, it's training, so personal grudges can be put aside for now.

Blizzard let out a cold snort through the headphones.

"Look at me!"

You immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly asked her, "Blizzard, what are you going to do?"

Blizzard didn't answer you; you can only see her through a sniper scope.

In the shot, Blizzard skillfully weaves forward, carefully avoiding the enemy's line of sight before raising his gun...

They've aimed at the hostages!

"Hey..."

Just as you were about to say something, suddenly...

The hostage was shot.

Everyone fell silent...

After a long while, the enemy on the other side jumped up first.

"FUCK! What's wrong with you guys? You just killed the hostage?"

That voice... it's Lake.

Then came the sighs of others:

"Killing the hostages right from the start, that's incredible."

"Should we continue? Surrender or attack directly?"

"What's the point of fighting if the hostages are gone! Report to the instructor!"

In the square, Lake points at you and roars:

“Tell me if you fired the shot! This is training. If you can bring your personal grudges into training now, you'll bring them into the battlefield later!”

After you said that, the way other people looked at you began to change.

The deep meaning in his eyes seemed to say:

What a dark and terrifying person! Who would dare to associate with her in the future? Who knows when you might accidentally offend her? How could you entrust your back to someone like that on the battlefield?

Cannot be trusted, cannot be trusted...

"enough!"

A roar interrupted Lake, who was still rambling on.

It's a blizzard.

She took a few steps and blocked your way, then continued speaking.

"Are you making it sound so serious because you want to pin some fabricated charges on YN? I think you're the one with the scary intentions!"

Lake sneered: "Am I wrong? Wasn't it her personal vendetta that led her to shoot Joseph? Have you ever seen a hostage rescue operation start by killing a hostage?"

Blizzard confidently replied, "It's me."

Lake was stunned: "What?"

Blizzard: "I said I fired the shot, and my teammates can vouch for that."

Then, your other three teammates all nodded in agreement.

Lake pointed at Blizzard: "So you're trying to help her settle personal scores!"

After all, everyone knows the relationship between Blizzard and you.

Blizzard also pointed at Joseph: "You make it sound like he was injured. Besides, the instructor didn't say we couldn't shoot hostages. I misjudged and thought he was an enemy, so I fired. Is that wrong?"

At that moment, Koenig also came over.

"It was my fault for not explaining beforehand that this lady had no experience in rescuing hostages. Now I'd like to add that, under normal circumstances, we should try our best to ensure the safety of the hostages, unless there are special circumstances in which we can consider abandoning the hostages."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Koenig continued, "It sounds cruel, but it's the reality. When rescuing hostages, if a hostage is wearing a bomb that cannot be defused, then for the safety of yourself and your teammates, you have no choice but to abandon the hostage."

When he said this, Koenig's tone was lower and more somber.

It was as if he had already gone through such a choice.

Koenig clapped his hands: "Alright, let's start the next group now."

Once you've been dismissed, you quickly pull Blizzard into a corner.

"Blizzard, what you just did was too dangerous! People will have a bad impression of you. You shouldn't have done that for me!"

Upon hearing this, you realize your tone was too harsh and quickly try to explain:

"I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried about you."

Blizzard flicks your forehead:

"I do it because I want to! And do you think I'm stupid? Of course I would only do it with permission."

allow?

"You mean... Koenig?"

Blizzard nodded: "Otherwise, why do you think it's such a coincidence that those two people are right across from you? Of course, it was someone's deliberate arrangement!"
