In the old carriage, there were two or three backpacks thrown behind it, which were basically essential for medical soldiers with medical first aid kits. This is Buck's first choice now. He prepared for the rainy day and brought three satellite phones. One of them was even tied to the spare tire ring on the roof with tape and a folding AK rifle. Plus a special shockproof box, which are all the latest equipment compiled by Lin Dong for Buck.

The two pistols are self-defense weapons placed on the passenger seat, and Buck did not intend to rush into the air with bullets. Now he is more wary of any militant on both sides of the road. In areas with severe ethnic disputes, the most feared one is the national extremist who fires fire indiscriminately. This is the biggest lesson he has learned in Central Asia. The entanglement situation where there are incomparable land and incomparable land, you can see from the current map that all kinds of intertwined land lines are entangled, and there are even a large number of enclaves, that is, the village area is the land, and the country is in all directions around it. This is extremely rare in other places.

The former Soviet Union has never dealt with ethnic issues well.

After staying in a hotel outside the Belarusian Air Force Base, after learning about some vague general situations, Buck's destination was the entire eastern region of Ukraine. He had to look around with the nature of his travels, and he had to take photos and videos when necessary, because in fact, the opinions from Xiang Wan were actually given additional requirements in the face of his actions to recruit mercenaries in Eastern Europe. He went to places where Chinese powers could not reach in Ukraine and learned about the real situation, especially in some areas involving China-based trade.

As a military intelligence department, the most important task is to collect intelligence and provide a real and reliable situation for the decision-making level to make correct judgments. Instead of just looking at the media, it is all about fooling ordinary people.

Buck hung a high-definition dash cam on the windshield behind the rearview mirror with a suction cup, but the recording was not turned on after powering on. A small remote control was glued under the steering wheel with double-sided tape. Then Buck's route was basically along the border between Russia and Ukraine, away from the main highway roads with the same arteries as those in those countries. He just chose a small road between towns and headed towards Kharkov.

I haven't come to Ukraine for more than a year. The continuous chaos has made the overall situation of the entire country paralyzed, but there are no signs of war in relatively remote towns. At least the people in these places can still use agricultural products to live by themselves, but gasoline has to rely on smuggling merchants to get it from Russia. As for industrial products other than agricultural products, they have to rely on external input. Therefore, compressing their demand for other items has become a common situation in these places. It seems that they have returned to the ancient life state of the 15th and 16th century. Buck pressed the dash recorder switch to take pictures of what they saw and heard.

He had lunch in a small town halfway through the way. People were not very interested in the dollars he paid, saying that it would be better if there were toothpaste and soap. Barker regretted that he should fill a carriage, so motivated by this mentality, he collected and bought all the way.

In Ukraine in spring, everything is full of green and lush things. There are labor farmers everywhere on the black soil where you can grow fertile by throwing anything. Although some of them put their rifles on the ridges to guard against any possible things, they waved friendly to the small vans that drove by quietly, which made Buck more confirm his decision to choose to take the path along the way.

Ukraine is also the most beautiful at this time. The dense forest with fog flashed by the road in the morning. When the sun shone brightly at noon, the lush green of the plants and trees was almost refreshing. It was a charming natural environment with lush green trees, and the scenery was still the same, but his mood was a little depressed.

As a commoner, he wants to live and work in peace, but any game of interest among decision makers will easily change these situations. If he is still the little mercenary who used to be, and only wants his wife and children, he cannot see or feel this kind of move like a hand of God. He only attacks a certain village and decorates a certain project according to the contract. He planned a series of battles in Mindanao, changing the political pattern there, and using commercial methods and market means to affect Yue Lan's local economic situation. He then intervenes at the pirate shipping link in the Strait of Malacca. Barker seems to have stood a little higher and seen more things.

It seems that there is a little more worrying about the world before worrying about it.

Fortunately, he is not a stubborn person. Just think about this kind of thing. It is useless to think too much. After several hours of continuous trekking, after passing through the Konev Forest where he had exchanged fire with Russian militants, Buck approached half of his hometown Kharkov. He saw that he had entered the outer area of ​​the city, and reached out to open the familiar FM radio channel, hoping to understand some of the current basic news situations, which were basically closed in the small places before.

Kharkov, as the second largest city in Ukraine, is a place where industry and universities are concentrated. It is not yet the center of the storm. The capital is always in front. The opposition attack on the Speaker of Parliament that Buck once experienced, and the protests in the capital square have now continued to the president.

The president was also dismissed. This is the news that Buck had heard in Southeast Asia, but in Belarus, he got more details. The former Air Force Colonel naturally had corresponding military relations to inquire. Yarmolenko did not come for political reasons. He simply hoped to recruit some powerful military personnel in the past to consolidate the foundation of these Ukrainians. This is what Natasha said to him. Buck now heard this incident repeatedly on the radio: "The president has violated the constitution... In massacre of the people, the executioner's evil deeds must be pursued..."

The matter was nothing more than the pro-Russian president who ordered the armed forces to clear the scene and drove away all the opposition stationed in street squares to demonstrate. During this process, the protesters suffered heavy casualties and were immediately caught by the opposition. This matter was strongly criticized by the president, and even directly attacked the presidential palace, and the president disappeared.

Of course, Buck heard a more pertinent statement in Belarus that when the clearing of the field, the opposition was not a good deal. They should have used guns and explosives first, and then they attracted the armed personnel sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to fire and fight back. Before this, it was confirmed that more than a dozen casualties of military and police personnel were almost subconsciously counterattacked or a little revenge, which caused the final result to be bloody.

Buck doesn't care about these details. Politics is like this. Any detail in the middle is magnified. No one is absolutely clean. He cares about what Ukraine will go when the pro-Russian regime has basically collapsed, and what will happen in Kharkiv.

At least from the scene he saw when he drove a van carefully around the outside of the city, if the huge city was still in chaos more than a year ago, it was now a little empty and lifeless!

A very unsafe terror can easily appear in the hearts of citizens.
