The True Colors of a Hero

Chapter 23: Blue helmet, red flag, olive branch!

Views:

Liu Xun is an ordinary member of the United Nations peacekeeping force, but this is only his superficial identity. His real identity is secret and not recognized by the world. That is, he is a special forces secretly organized by the United Nations.

This special forces unit has no name. They are hidden among the peacekeeping forces. There are only a few hundred of them. They train with the peacekeeping forces, but the content of the training is different.

They wear the same blue helmets as the peacekeeping troops, their left arms also have the flags of their respective countries, and their right arms also have the globe and olive branches! But that is only when there is no mission.

Once they have a mission, they will have a spear medal on their chest! Their equipment is the best among the special forces in the world, and their awareness and will are the most outstanding in every country's army, but like other special forces, they will never appear in the public's sight...

This special forces unit is different from other special forces units. It is a completely secretive organization. Not only can it not be searched on the Internet, even some senior administrative officials are unaware of their existence. The only ones who know about them are the people who sent them and himself.

They are divided into groups of six and act as a group on every mission. Members of each group do not know each other's real name. They only know a code name, and that code name is everything to them.

That was a month ago. A sudden mission forced the team Liu Xun was in to take action immediately. However, due to the headquarters' misjudgment of information, and the fact that Liu Xun's team had entered an insensitive area and was interfered with by signals from international terrorist organizations, the headquarters' satellite was unable to contact them.

So this accident caused Liu Xun to be unfortunately injured. A dum-dum bullet flew past his left ear by 1 cm. Although Liu Xun was lucky enough to survive, the destructive power of the dum-dum bullet was too great, and the eardrum of Liu Xun's left ear was also shattered.

All parts of the human body are connected, and the rupture of all eardrums will leave a lot of sequelae. For example, once Liu Xun encounters a noisy occasion, he will feel nauseous and want to vomit.

It is necessary to point out here that special forces are not like those in TV dramas who are god-like and cannot be hurt no matter how the enemy bombards or rains of bullets. There are always injured people when they return from almost every mission. Bulletproof vests and helmets can only protect against stray bullets, but not bullets, especially dum-dum bullets, which are enough to penetrate two people wearing the best bulletproof vests.

Realizing that something was wrong with the situation, the leader of Liu Xun's team immediately ordered a retreat. They all survived the hellish training, which was not without casualties. Liu Xun remembered clearly that three people died of exhaustion from the weighted cross-country running on the first day of training alone. The intensity of training in those TV dramas was less than one percent of the actual training of special forces soldiers.

With solid capital and perfect coordination, Liu Xun's team returned to the headquarters smoothly, but Liu Xun lost the qualification to be a world-class special forces soldier forever.

At the United Nations headquarters, in a secret military hospital in New York, although Liu Xun's left eardrum has been repaired, the doctor told him that he is likely to have sequelae and advised him to give up his identity for the sake of his own life and the lives of his teammates.

The doctors in this mysterious hospital are dedicated to serving people like Liu Xun. They are affiliated with the United Nations World Peace Organization, so he knows Liu Xun's identity as a special forces soldier.

"Doctor, We keep phis secrets! He is a parther! (Doctor, we keep his secrets! He is our partner!)"

Upon hearing the doctor's words, an American man codenamed "Snake Leopard" made a final attempt to keep Liu Xun.

When the doctor heard what Shebao said, he immediately shook his head and said seriously: "Nonono, I want to hold you responsible for the! (No, I want to hold you responsible for the!)"

Liu Xun took a deep breath after hearing this. He knew that he could not stay here any longer due to the uncertainty. If he could not hear with his left ear during the mission, he would die at best, or even the whole team would be killed!

Special forces operations do not allow for any mistakes, and a brief lapse of concentration for a few tenths of a second is enough to determine the survival of a group, so Liu Xun did not want to implicate his teammates. Although he did not know their names, the bond they had shared over the years of life and death was real.

"Give us some time!"

Liu Xun's team leader finally spoke. He was a British man, codenamed Hell, who had served in the British SAS Special Forces. Hell was nearly two meters tall, but his strong body could not hide his sharp eyes.

Hell's words did not mean to buy a chance for Liu Xun, but to tell the doctors to give them some time, as they wanted to say goodbye to Liu Xun!

The doctor nodded, patted Liu Xun on the shoulder, said "ishyougoodluck!" and left the ward.

"Dulang, I feel helpless about this, but you are my best friend! According to your Chinese words, you are my best brother!"

After the doctor left, Hell walked up to Liu Xun and said that the United Nations special forces were different from other branches of the military. They had to be familiar with languages of various countries, so every member of the team could speak Chinese.

Poison Wolf was Liu Xun's code name. He remembered it clearly. When he was naming his code name, Hell asked him why he didn't choose a tiger but a wolf. Isn't a tiger stronger than a wolf? Liu Xun smiled mysteriously at that time. He said that although wolves are not the strongest, they are the most united.

"Poison Wolf, if you have any difficulties returning, remember to call me or send me an email. As long as I am not dead, I will definitely help you."

The speaker was a Russian man, whose code name translated into Chinese as "Fire Bear". Russians generally worship bears, so he took this code name. However, with a height of 1.82 meters, he really doesn't look like a bear compared to Hell.

"Don't say that's a letdown. When is Poison Wolf going to leave New York?"

After looking at the depressing atmosphere around him, a French man smiled and said that his code name was Golden Rooster. Liu Xun remembered it very clearly. When Golden Rooster was used as a code name, Liu Xun almost laughed to death. But Golden Rooster was like Fire Bear, just like China. The ancestor of China was the dragon, and the ancestor of France was the chicken.

"Yes, when Poison Wolf is discharged from the hospital, our group 7 will see him off!"

The person who was speaking was also a Chinese, just like Liu Xun. His code name was Binghuo, and he was the deputy team leader. He was usually taciturn, but he was calmer than anyone else when on a mission.

"I love you! brothers."

Liu Xun suppressed his emotions and said with a smile that they had an agreement between them. The agreement was that if anyone was killed in battle or left the team due to injuries, the entire team would say goodbye to him in the national language of that team member.

Liu Xun knew that the day for him to leave had come... but he never thought it would be him, let alone that it would come so soon!

Fate always played tricks on him. He had managed to escape unscathed from many dangerous missions and encountered many tough battles, but this time he unexpectedly lost his virginity in a creek.

"Damn! We are not gay!" The five people from Hell cursed in unison, and without caring about the surgery Liu Xun had just completed, they pulled him up, and a burst of cheerful laughter came from the ward...

Liu Xun was hospitalized for half a month, and then returned to the headquarters to hand over some secret documents, which took him thirteen days. Finally, the day before he left New York, the members of Group 7 gathered together.

Champagne, beer, and red wine were laid out on the table, and just as Liu Xun and his friends were about to start drinking, Hell suddenly received a mission from the headquarters. Fate plays tricks on people, especially for special forces. Missions can happen at any time and any place, but they are always ready...

Hell sighed, shrugged and chuckled, saying: "Poison Wolf, I'm sorry! The mission is urgent, we can only carry out the mission with the substitute team members, take care..."

Liu Xun shook his head and said it was okay. The six of them gathered together for the last time, hugged each other's shoulders, and shouted in unison: "Work hard for the peace of the earth..."

After the five people from hell left, tears welled up in Liu Xun's eyes, but he forced them back. Returning to his residence, Liu Xun handed back his blue beret, the five-star red flag armband on his left arm, and the olive branch armband with the earth wrapped around it on his right arm.

The UN special forces are different from other special forces. They are not allowed to take away clothes, armbands, berets, or even towels. Looking at the neatly arranged bedding and the blue helmets that symbolize the peacekeeping forces, Liu Xun could no longer control his tears and they flowed down...

Some people say that if you have never been a soldier, you will never know the sadness of leaving your comrades! But now Liu Xun wants to say that if you have never been a special forces soldier, you will never know how hard it is to live and die together...

The United Nations Special Forces Battalion, Liu Xun's quasi-superior, the captain of this secret special forces battalion, patted Liu Xun on the shoulder when Liu Xun returned the Spear Medal, and gave it to Liu Xun again, saying that it was a souvenir...

Liu Xun left without taking anything except the bronze spear badge and travel expenses! The United Nations wanted to inform Liu Xun's country before he left, but Liu Xun refused.

Perhaps because he had been in the UN peacekeeping force for too long, Liu Xun rejected the headquarters' proposal on the grounds that there were so many people in the world who needed help and he did not need to waste resources.

The plane had already taken off, but Liu Xun's tears kept flowing! Goodbye, blue helmets that represent peace! Goodbye, the five-star red flag that has accompanied me day and night! Goodbye, the olive branch that symbolizes world peace...

When Liu Xun finished speaking, Li Tengwei and the other two were silent. Li Tengwei patted Liu Xun on the shoulder and said softly, "Stay. The Huaxia Military Region needs talents like you."

"No, I have no regrets after five years of military service. I have a grandfather and a younger brother at home, so I should take some time to spend time with them." Liu Xun sighed, his eyes were unusually firm. (To be continued)
