Chapter 1379: Chapter 1384: No Mobilization Needed

Yang Yi met with the members of Black Devil again, and this time it was the entire team of Black Devil.

The only thing that could make the Black Devil members gather together with such interest and enthusiasm to discuss would be Cerberus.

"This is a purely combat-oriented unit. Strictly speaking, I’m not really interested in engaging with them, but... we’ve never had a direct confrontation with Cerberus before, so this is our first chance to verify Cerberus’s true strength."

Grevatov remained as serious as ever. After speaking, he turned to Yang Yi and said, "We will participate in the exercise as members of the Organization of Water."

Yang Yi nodded, but before he could speak, Tartar couldn’t wait to say, "Cerberus only has four people, and although we have more, we can only send out four people at most. Also, I want to know if Cerberus can form a basic combat unit. If the four of them can’t form a basic combat unit, then this exercise is pointless."

The Black Devil fears not strong opponents, but weak ones.

"Four people are no problem. Just two of them can form an emergency combat group. Three of them make a basic unit, and for four, they have twenty-one fixed tactical routines. This is the answer from Gong Yang, and this is just the result of their covert observation and records. Further verification on Cerberus’s capabilities is indeed needed from us."

The one speaking was Grevatov. His demeanor was indeed like a scholar, but he was a scholar-type combat expert.

Rostotsky said in a deep voice, "This matches our evaluation of Cerberus in the 80s. Cerberus is known for their adaptable tactics, strong adaptability to environments, and exploratory use of the latest technology and tactics. Although the army’s Butter Knife has a similar mission, Cerberus is indeed superior in versatility."

Tartar nonchalantly said, "That’s because Butter Knife has only one main team, while Cerberus is divided into three squads. We only have to face the Red Team. However, the fact that such a research and experimental special forces unit like Cerberus is divided into three teams with distinctly different attributes and characteristics says a lot about their combat style."

"But the Red Team is the most formidable and skilled in combat within Cerberus."

After Pavlovich finished speaking, he gestured and said in a deep voice, "I think the name Butter Knife already shows their combat style. Compared to Cerberus, well, perhaps Butter Knife is simply more pure."

Vasily hurriedly said, "Do you mean Butter Knife is stronger? No, no, don’t joke around. You have to realize, the United States prefers to use the Navy’s special operations units more often than the Army’s."

Pavlovich shook his head and said, "Regarding Butter Knife, I certainly have the authority to speak, because I’ve fought them. Butter Knife’s tactics are simple and direct, very pure. They demonstrated their capabilities when they ambushed Big Ivan’s European representative Andre. However, Andre’s bodyguards, though strong, were not strong enough, so Andre ended up being like butter, sliced off by Butter Knife."

Afterward, Pavlovich took a breath and continued quietly, "Our battle with Butter Knife was different. It was almost a one-for-one exchange. We had Satan’s help and Gong Yang was there, yet still..."

That battle had been a great loss for Black Devil, and the memory still pained Pavlovich.

Tartar shook his head and said, "If you see it this way, Butter Knife conducted a prepared ambush and entered from the air. As for you, you hadn’t participated in any action for over twenty years, and you had never acted collectively."

Pavlovich shook his head and said, "No, in fact, we just followed Gong Yang through two warm-up actions, so we can’t use ’it’s been a long time’ as an excuse."

Tartar spread his hands and said, "But you were rusty. Otherwise, how could you suffer such heavy losses to Butter Knife, losing so many people? It’s a disgrace to Black Devil!"

Pavlovich suddenly got angry and shouted, "Shut up, you don’t understand at all!"

Tartar, with an unconvinced look, said, "But isn’t losing to such brats as Butter Knife a disgrace?"

The Hammer slammed the table, glaring coldly at Tartar and said, "Shut up, it’s easy to boast from where you stand."

Pavlovich and The Hammer were the ones who had experienced and survived the battle with Butter Knife, so they naturally sought to defend their dignity.

Tartar laughed and then said quietly, "In any case, I want to face Cerberus this time. I must see what the true power of the United States is like!"

Grevatov calmly said, "This time, it will be me, Tartar, Rostotsky, and Liefjev, the four of us, against Cerberus."

Pavlovich put his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "I’ve fought with The Hammer against Butter Knife. Only the two of us can accurately evaluate Cerberus’s strength. Can you?"

Vasily spread his hands and said, "Why was I excluded?"

Several people spoke in unison, "Young man, shut up! What do rookies know!"

Vasily looked displeased, and although Anton wanted to speak, he thought for a moment and remained silent.

Yang Yi coughed lightly and said, "Uh, why don’t we all go in?"

Everyone turned to Yang Yi, and then Grevatov frowned and said, "All in? It’s just four Cerberus. All in? You must be joking, surely you’re joking?"

Anton also said helplessly, "Come on, if this were real combat, of course, we’d all go in, using maximum force to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. But this is just an exercise, just an exercise. All in? It would be an insult to Black Devil!"

Rostotsky said in a deep voice, "Four on four, it’s pure combat. In fact, if we really wanted to kill them, we wouldn’t do it with a direct confrontation because we have countless ways to kill them, and they wouldn’t know what hit them. Spies and soldiers going head-to-head in direct battle, are you crazy? Or just foolish?"

Pavlovich, looking forlorn, said, "Are you ridiculing me?"

"Not at all. Your situation was special then because you were ambushed. Regarding this, I feel Cerberus’s combat capability has declined because they lost the ability to use advanced vehicles to enter the battlefield. For Americans, this was a significant advantage."

Yang Yi couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "We... Do we need to preset so many combat conditions for Cerberus?"

Tartar gestured and said, "No, no, no. We must design a battlefield where Cerberus can maximize their advantages. Otherwise, what’s the point of this exercise? It’s just an exercise, not even that interesting. If Cerberus can’t fully utilize their capabilities, what’s the point of the fight?"

Zhang Yong finally couldn’t hold back either and exclaimed, "Let me say this, just one thing. When you assign roles, do you consider our feelings and opinions?"
