Chapter 1196 Checkpoint
The small towns I saw were filled with citizens who escaped from big cities like Donesque. It was not a problem to supplement food and drink. The main reason was to respond to various people who were eager to find out about the news. No one noticed the old man who had been burying his head and slowly drinking bean soup. The eloquent Buck became the main response. He talked about the situation he saw in Donesque and also obtained information about other regions from the other party.
This is the ability that an excellent scout should have.
Occasionally, I can buy some gasoline from others to ensure that I can move south.
The situation is very clear. Before this, a new centrist president came to power. The new president with a businessman background expressed zero tolerance for the act of splitting the country. Therefore, refusing to talk to separatist forces such as Donesque and Crimea is to demand the absolute regaining of lost land.
Buck felt that even with NATO's support, the president's brain was kicked by a donkey. How could Russia tolerate Ukraine becoming a part of NATO?
Tolerate your Black Sea Fleet to share a port with NATO? Tolerate Donesque to establish a US air force base?
Don't joke. At this time, I don't try to use negotiations to delay time and eliminate the spirit of all parties. Instead, I really have to fight against division. And I care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. Maybe there are too many Russian shadows in Crimea, and now I focus on the main energy in the city of Donesque. This is a disguised way to prevent the surrounding towns from spreading war. The army that travels all day long, Russians, merchants, and people who join the Independence Army bring all kinds of news to all places.
Buck was obviously quite like a fish in water, similar to the war zones they had experienced before, not to mention that he really didn't lack money in his pocket now. Natasha skillfully wrapped him with dollar bullets and inserted them on the belt and lining, which was about 100,000 dollars!
The airport was heard that it had been taken down by the Independence Army. More than half of the battalions of the 25th Air Mass Brigade of Ukraine defected to the Independence Army. By the way, the fighters at the airport became Donesque, so the government immediately organized an air strike and blew up the fighters on the apron...
Buck drove the car easily and passed the gossip news to Lord Gusef: "Do you think the air maneuver brigade soldiers who defected to you are also influenced by your thoughts?"
The old priest did not respond. He walked along this road because it was all around the small town, and for three days, the Patriarch basically stopped talking, just watched quietly, listened quietly, and then ate and sleep.
So Buck deliberately started a topic, but he could only make a face to take it back. The road ahead obviously began to lower the altitude and gradually approached the Black Sea coastal area, that is, Crimea. This peninsula, which is a bit like the Qionghai Province in Ukraine, is also similar to Qionghai Province. The only thing is that the strait is a little connected to the national continent, and then the other end is the extremely narrow strait that is surrounded by the Azov Sea. So now it is a demand to be included in Russia in independence, and it is not far from geopolitical. Moreover, in history, it was originally Russia. Khrushchev, who made his fortune in Ukraine, generously gave Crimea to Ukraine after becoming the boss of the former Soviet Union. In history, the Russians were very angry, believing that "the Tatars and the Germans did not take Crimea away, but were given to Ukraine by the Soviet Union."
So compared to Donesque, the pressure on the civil war here is still smaller. In addition, there are other states or two that are not as powerful as the Donesque states and Crimea. Shopping and refueling are more normal. Yesterday, Buck tried to drive into a big city and stayed in a high-end hotel for a night and took a shower. Otherwise, both of them would be bad. Buck, who became a rich man, was a little subtle and used to be a better person. He could make himself live a better life, and there was no need to be so difficult. But he did not abandon this shabby white van.
Sure enough, when the small van crossed a mountain, a large open ocean immediately appeared in front of me. Walk forward and look at the sanatoriums that occasionally appear along the coast. Crimea, the most beautiful sanitary resort in the former Soviet Union, was right in front of me. Although I was poorer, Ukrainians would try to come here for vacation every year. Buck and Natasha were beds on vacation in Crimea on a summer vacation. They remembered this place deeply. Since the old priest was a dull man, he simply chatted with Natasha with a satellite phone, recalling the past, which made Ukrainian girls giggle there all the time, but when he heard that the Patriarch was next to him, he blamed Buck for hanging up the phone.
Buck glanced at his travel companion. The old priest was really in his own world, and was probably communicating with God. You must know that in Orthodox Church, the status of the Patriarch is equivalent to that of the pope in Christianity. Buck still took all his attention back to his eyes.
But the more we went here, Buck gradually felt that the number of Ukrainian government troops was increasing layer by layer, and the driving recorder was shooting. Although the guns and equipment were hidden, the situation of passing the inspection checkpoints became increasingly strict. However, Buck was asked to give up all the equipment and guns at this time and go to Crimea empty-handedly, and he was definitely unwilling to give up all his equipment and guns.
With multiple meanings and tasks, he and the old priest who seemed to be making a major decision were very determined to go to Crimea. Every time Buck showed his Ukrainian passport, he explained that he went to see his wife, hoping to persuade his wife to go back to Kharkov with him. The old man showed a clergy document and could also receive considerable respect. Buck found that this was what the Patriarch had only been to get in the church he passed by in the past two days.
Before I knew it, the van entered the Crimean Peninsula along the increasingly dense seaside villa and sanatorium. The holidays here are still the same, and tourists are still there. Buck, who has been working hard in the past few years, was not very familiar with the entire Crimea. He also called Natasha and found out that he was walking on the complex shallow sea and swamp route of the peninsula. Buck still couldn't believe it: "The Sea of Azov on my left and the area on the right. I was like walking on the road on the embankment, but I didn't see any military fortresses and dividing lines?" And you can see many trucks coming and going on the road, and there are many tank trucks. Of course, Buck can still tell that this belongs to a natural gas tank instead of a cement tank.
At this moment, Gusef finally interrupted unhappily: "Half of this line called Albat Headlands belongs to Ukraine in history and now, and the other half belongs to Crimea. The narrowest part on this line is more than 200 meters, the widest eight kilometers, and the front... there must be a very strict inspection in front, you have to consider it!"
What are the things to consider? Buck has been a mercenary for so many years and has been through checkpoints that Katyusha eats more salt than Katyusha!
