Chapter 784 Enlightenment
"Haha." John smiled and did not answer the question, but said, "Now we seem to know whether you are willing to accept this job. And what I need to tell you in advance is that if you join, then maybe you are going to deal with the Chinese. Can you accept this?"
Hearing this, Peter was stunned. He didn't expect John to tell him this point straight to the point. Originally, in his opinion, this should be a problem that he would face after entering the department... But then Pit was excited again, because it made him feel that this so-called department was probably specially set up to deal with the Chinese people lurking in this country like him.
Is it useful to accept this or not? Didn’t I just want to enter such a department for so many years? But of course Pete couldn’t show his eagerness, and he said, “This makes me feel like I’m back in the past. I remember that there was a similar inquiry before joining the army, saying that after joining the army, he might be stationed in the Asia-Pacific region, and that there might be conflicts in his previous motherland. If it is acceptable, he can only be enlisted.”
John smiled and said, "It's almost the same. I think there is no problem with this. You are an American now, you are just from China. Just like me, my great-grandfather, including my mother, are Irish people who left their hometown. Until now, you still have some Irish customs in my family. Some of my relatives even speak English with an Irish accent. What does this mean to me? Nothing is not. If one day a conflict between the United States and Ireland, I will pick up a gun and fight the Irish without hesitation. Of course, maybe some people will stand on the side of the Irish, and that's nothing, but I will definitely choose to fight as an American. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Pi Te nodded and said, "Although I don't have as clear choice as you, I understand the truth."
"Just understand." John nodded and said, "The United States is just an immigrant country. You saw what it looks like just now. Everyone comes from different places in the world. It is precisely because we form a country with people like them, and it is the most powerful country in the world. When you come here and become one of them, you have the responsibility and obligation to defend him. Defending her is actually defending yourself. I hope you can understand."
Pi Te nodded and said, "I understand very well. Although my motive for joining the army was not to become an American. But I understand this principle. But..." Pete seemed hesitant and said, "But can I think about it? Because I may not be suitable for this job. You want me to fight with a gun, that's fine. But I may not be able to catch those hidden spies in the city."
After hearing what Pete said, John was not surprised, and he nodded and said, "Of course. This is OK. But it can't be too long, how long do you need to think about it?"
Pete thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow... tomorrow afternoon, is it OK at this time? I will give you an answer regardless of whether I do it or not."
"No problem." John agreed readily: "But I still want to give you some advice. Going back or staying in the team is not a good choice. Now your original department is expanding its personnel on a large scale. If you choose to go back, you will probably lead a group of new people. And there will be more overseas tasks in the future. Judging from my experience, Helmet will face a great challenge." John said, shrugging and said: "You should understand that there are too many new recruits in a team, and everyone doesn't know each other. They just met in the training camp. Then, under the leadership of a more unfamiliar captain, they went to a more unfamiliar place. Facing a group of experienced militants, they started fighting? What will happen in such a situation?"
"Salary and casualties..." Pete looked at John and said, "There are huge casualties."
"That's it." John said, "And this is just something we can expect. Some other situations caused by lack of experience will definitely make us anxious." John sighed and continued, "So if you are transferred not far away, I can only send you to lead a team, but it is certainly not the current team. Most of the people in the 009 team will be disbanded. The people who stayed behind have experience. I can't let a group of experienced people gather together, while the other teams don't know anything. This is not possible. If so, would you like to? I mean taking a group of novices to fight."
Pete hesitated and said, "I haven't thought about this either. But I really don't want to fight with a bunch of unfamiliar people in the rain of bullets."
"No one wants to. Unless that is also a novice." John said, standing up and saying, "Think about it carefully."
Peter knew that today's conversation was over, and he stood up and followed John to the door, "Give me your reply at this time tomorrow. I want to say one more thing, it is important to seize the opportunity. This is not just what I said to you, Donovan also asked me to tell you, try not to go back to the team."
Pete left John's office. Wells Lee, who had talked to him for a few words, seemed to be very good at socializing and was chatting with another person at this moment. Pete did not disturb them but went straight to the elevator and went downstairs. After sending Peter away, John did not call for the next one immediately. He returned to his seat and picked up the phone on the table and dialed it out.
The phone was quickly connected, and John said, "Peter did not agree immediately, but said he should consider it."
"Is that?" Tucker's voice came from the phone, "Are you saying he hesitated?"
"Is hesitant? Isn't this normal? He is not a Chinese native born in the United States. He suddenly asked him to turn the gun around and if it were you, would you agree very readily?" John asked.
"I can't agree." Tucker smiled and said, "When will he give a reply?"
"Tomorrow." John said, looking impatiently: "If you don't believe him, don't use it. Just look for those native Chinese or people who don't hesitate?"
"I didn't distrust him. On the contrary, I think he was good. It was because of this that I wanted to confirm his reaction." Tucker defended.
"Okay, Tucker." John seemed to be not taking this set at all. "You just doubt, admit it, there is nothing to deny for you."
