Chapter 494: Chapter 482: Rookie Machine Gunner

Before Yang Yi qualified as a client and collaborator of the cleaners, they had always been somewhat secretive, but now, after Yang Yi officially became their client, the cleaners immediately delivered a gift that was neither too big nor too small, and casually showed off their strength, seriously intimidating Yang Yi.

Now, others could also see that something was off, except for Roman and their three or four rookies.

Finally, Zhang Yong laughed and said, "You guys are using Israeli guns, huh."

"Correct, the rifle is the TAR21, and the machine gun is the Negev."

Both the rifle and machine gun were made by Israel’s Tavor company. Ukraine is a major arms country, but its light weapons are rather unremarkable apart from those left behind by the Soviet Union. With so many years since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine hasn’t produced any designs of its own, with their best special forces units using Israeli weapons.

The TAR21 rifle and the Negev machine gun are not bad, but they both have a 5.56mm caliber, which is not in line with the standard caliber of the Ukrainian military. However, for special forces units, it is not necessary to insist on uniformity in caliber with the major troop contingents.

In the midst of the noise generated by Roman and the three rookies, who were both greatly surprised and thrilled, Anton calmly opened his bag, and then just smiled.

Inside Anton’s bag was an AK74U rifle, as well as a PM pistol, more than a dozen grenades, and a bulletproof vest.

Watching Anton take out his gear one by one and place it on the empty seat next to him, Yang Yi asked, "How about it? Are the weapons to your liking?"

Anton smiled and replied, "They’ll do. Actually, I don’t have any special requirements for weapons."

Yang Yi stood up, walked to the front of the business class, and said to Jenny, "Should we gear up now, or wait until we’ve landed?"

Jenny opened her eyes and said in a low voice, "Change now."

Yang Yi walked back and waved his hand, saying, "Change clothes, and get ready for combat."

Yang Yi took off his coat, put on a set of tactical gear, and then he put on a bulletproof vest.

It was uncomfortable to sit fully armed, so Yang Yi stood up and looked back at everyone.

It was nighttime, and Roman and their gear included night vision devices, which were obviously their own prior to this. Besides the weapons being different, the clothing of Roman and Anton along with their four men were quite similar to those of Trident.

They were thoroughly prepared. Yang Yi inwardly sighed once again and then, clearing his throat, said, "Let me briefly explain. We are going to Warsaw, where somewhere in Warsaw we will rob a batch of gold. Successfully completing this mission will bring us a commission of fifteen million US dollars."

The necessary information was conveyed, and what didn’t need to be mentioned was already known to Brian and the others. It was not necessary to fully disclose it to the four rookies. So after Yang Yi spoke briefly, he immediately said, "We will soon arrive in Warsaw, and upon our arrival, it’s highly likely that we will engage in combat right away. So everyone, you’d better rest a bit, especially you four. Anton, are you tired?"

Anton shook his head slowly and said, "I’m fine, but I will rest, thank you."

Anton closed his eyes after speaking, but Roman then said, "No, we’re not tired, um, uh, that..."

Yang Yi said sternly, "You want to ask how much money you will get, right?"

"Uh, you don’t have to say it... "

Yang Yi waved his hand and said, "There’s no need to hide it from you guys. Each of the three of you will get five hundred thousand US dollars if we succeed. As for how much the others get, that’s not for you to worry about."

Sergei exclaimed in surprise and then said loudly, "Five hundred thousand? My, my monthly salary is just..."

As Sergei was concentrating on calculating, Vitali said in a deep voice, "Six hundred US dollars, to be precise."

"That’s right, six hundred."

Sergei said with a bitter smile, "You guys get six hundred, and I only get five hundred seventy. I can hardly believe we could get five hundred thousand; this is the best decision I’ve ever made."

Zhang Yong said impatiently, "Quit it, look at you, all bewildered by the sight of money. How much you earn depends on who you follow. If you were with some cannon fodder mercenary group, you couldn’t earn this much even if you died. Now put your heart into it, conserve your energy, we haven’t finished the mission yet."

The three, Roman included, immediately fell silent, but it was impossible for them to rest; they were too excited.

Roman began organizing the ammunition belts, and with nothing better to do, Zhang Yong moved from the front to the back and said, "Come on, I’ll help you with the ammo belts. Is this a two-hundred-round belt?"

"One hundred fifty rounds."

"Oh, you’re a machine gunner. A machine gunner’s role is crucial. How good are you?"

Roman said with extreme confidence, "I’m the lead gunner, the first machine gunner of Alpha Kiev’s first action group."

"Good. You’re the only machine gunner, so we’ll be relying on you this time. If you mess up during the fight, you’ll be in big trouble, really big trouble!"

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t mess up!"

"Hmm, have you seen actual combat?"

Roman’s tone dropped immediately, and then he whispered, "Not, not yet..."

"Oh, a greenhorn."

Roman said softly, "But I’ve been through plenty of drills; I won’t have any problems. I’m sure I won’t."

Zhang Yong said somewhat disappointedly, "No matter how many drills you’ve done, you’re still a greenhorn."

The role of a machine gunner is incredibly pivotal. Although in modern warfare the main function of a machine gun is suppression rather than killing the enemy, a skilled gunner can keep the enemy pinned down, allowing the assault troops a chance to attack, and the precision shooters and snipers better shooting opportunities. Of course, a machine gunner’s role doesn’t stop there, but a gunner who can effectively suppress the enemy is a good gunner indeed.

The role of the machine gunner is very important, and this was why Zhang Yong took the initiative to approach Roman. It should be noted that the Organization of Water or Trident does not lack assault troops or snipers; what they are short of is a machine gunner, and unfortunately, the only one they have is a rookie.

No matter how many years of training or how many drills one has had, without real battle experience, one is still a rookie. However, rookies differ from one another. When Yang Yi first started, he was a true greenhorn, while Roman was not that green. Perhaps Roman would be killed in his first battle, or maybe after fighting one or two battles, he would rapidly mature. War is unpredictable.

After all, everything is uncertain until tested in battle.

Listening to the chatter from Zhang Yong and the others in the back, Yang Yi was thinking about the various feats of the cleaners. Finally, Jenny walked into the economy class and said in a deep voice, "In five minutes, we will begin our descent. You can leave any unnecessary items on the plane. Now, please get ready for combat."
