Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 964 - 899: The Northern Brigade in Dire Straits

A boy with face paint and draped in a Ghillie Suit stood up holding an old hunting rifle that looked older than him, curiously observing Mountain Eagle... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Are you Mountain Eagle?"

The boy said in not-so-perfect English, "Mi Lu said you would give me a real sniper rifle..."

Mountain Eagle was taken aback by the boy's directness, looking at the boy's ill-fitting combat boots and frostbitten hands, he smacked his lips and nodded, saying, "Did Mi Lu tell you that when you ask someone for a gift, you should first say your name?"

The boy emerged from the bushes, stared into Mountain Eagle's eyes for a few seconds, then extended his hand and said seriously, "My name is Luca, Luca Tadic, Colonel Tadic is my grandfather..."

With that, Luca tried to stand up straight and said earnestly, "I am a soldier of the Northern Brigade!"

Mountain Eagle reached out and shook Luca's hand firmly, then observed the obviously homemade Ghillie Suit on the boy and said with a smile, "It seems you are not only a soldier but also an excellent sentinel."

Luca, hearing that, said somewhat unhappily, "I will not always be a sentinel...

I need a good gun so I can become a qualified soldier!"

Mountain Eagle looked at Luca's determined expression, and the indifferent look of the people around, thought for a moment, then turned and called Robbin to bring over the arms package...

Under Luca's watchful eyes, he opened the large bag and took out an M27...

After checking to ensure the M27's chamber was empty, Mountain Eagle handed the gun to Luca...

As Luca took the gun, Mountain Eagle smiled and asked, "What do you want to do after becoming a qualified soldier?"

Luca grabbed the handguard of the M27 with one hand and the stock with the other, fiercely saying, "I want to eliminate those bastards of the Kosovo Liberation Organization!

They killed my father and sister and often harass villages near the border, killing many people!

Once we eliminate them, peace will come!"

Mountain Eagle paused slightly, then bent down and took a tactical vest containing four M27 magazines from the bag and draped it over Luca's shoulder...

This child doesn't understand politics, probably doesn't comprehend the origins of Kosovo, but it is clear that ethnic hatred is spreading in this area...

Serbs, Serbians...

Albanians, Albanians...

Croatians, Croatians...

Who would have thought that on the small Balkan Peninsula, Orthodox, Catholic, and Muslim sects would converge?

Doctrinal disputes, the debate whether to go East or West, along with long-standing conflicts breeding hatred...

In the past few decades, this area has seen deepening hatred fermenting, eventually becoming the "powder keg" that Europe dreads!

Many are unaware, the core reason for the war that destroyed Yugoslavia was that Europe, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, feasted on industrial benefits, leading to a rapid expansion of industrial strength in France and Germany, and an ensuing meteoric rise in economic power...

Soon after, the European Union was established in 1993, the Euro emerged in 1999, forming a super union with vast territory and a 400 million population.

To open an energy route to the Middle East, Europeans, unrivaled in fight but champions in rhetoric, first found excuses to ignite the Balkan flames.

However, their military strength was too weak, so they had to pull in the United States to back them up, resulting in the conflict in the Balkan Region still not being over, and Europe always on edge.

The war stifled the rise of the Euro, led to Western European capital fleeing Europe to the United States for safety around 2000.

The Libya war led by France later was a similar situation, knowing they couldn't handle Colonel Gaddafi alone, they pulled in the US Army to back them up.

Then Libya replayed the Balkan scenario, locking some of France and part of the European Union countries' resources in Libya, continuously bleeding them, making it impossible for them to break free from reliance on US aid.

Since then, the European Union's attempts to wage wars externally to seize energy ceased, allowing Russia to take advantage and quickly soothe relations with Europe through oil and gas pipelines.

After Russia and Western Europe's relations eased, Serbia's situation became particularly dire!

Russia really isn't a competent boss!

Anyone with knowledge of European history knows that Western Europe generally has only two scenarios and three actions when dealing with Russia...

When Russia is weak, Western Europe holds meetings, engages in scandalous affairs, and fights Russia!

When Russia is strong, Western Europe holds meetings, engages in scandalous affairs, and hides from Russia!

The firm relationship between Europe and the United States is built on "hiding from Russia's" basis...

And how could the United States sit back and watch the two violate historical destiny?

Once Europe, a super alliance close in size to it, possesses Russian energy, it would surely break free from the United States' control, and then it would be uncertain who the world's leader is, so stirring up the Kosovo situation became a regular CIA program.

A chaos here makes the European Union's heart race!

If the world is divided geopolitically, actually only four entities exist, the United States, East, Russia, European Union...

The 28 little landlords of Europe combined to form a behemoth, yet still can't pull together as one rope, the European Union holding three out of five permanent seats eventually passively became the United States' blood bank.

Then when the United States has a problem, the European little brothers chip in to follow, then the benefits are taken by big brother United States, while facing terrorism the European little brothers take the brunt.

What Europeans do seems entirely ridiculous, calling them a political anti-role model is not an exaggeration!

Meanwhile, Serbia, a small nation with no support, caught in between, has become an unloved sacrificial lamb!

The Albanian-controlled areas in the Kosovo Region cannot really be described as suffering, but in border areas, especially around the Serbian Autonomous Region, life is quite harsh, especially in those dark corners where warlords like the Kosovo Liberation Organization create many tragedies, unbeknownst to the outside world!

Just like many people don't know, even though the Minsk Agreement has been signed, the Ukraine D Region is still at war.

Now, seeing a child show such deep-seated hatred before Mountain Eagle, he felt some sympathy and gained new understanding of the Northern Brigade's situation...

Their circumstances are not good; otherwise, a child who looks only sixteen or seventeen should be in school instead of crawling through snowy hills seeking blood vengeance.
