Chapter 591 - 535: The Warm Moments of Old Brothers

The next noon, the plane landed at the Venezuela Airport.

Song Heping and others stepped out of the airport and saw Grey Wolf waiting beside the car at the entrance with several young men who looked like mercenaries.

After getting in the car, Song Heping looked back at the SUV following them and asked Grey Wolf, "Are these guys trainees? They look new to me!"

Grey Wolf said, "They aren't trainees, but a special squad trained in collaboration with the tactical teaching and research group at our school. You mentioned before that our company needed fresh blood. Well, here they are."

Song Heping couldn't help but look back again, "You never mentioned this, did you?"

"When I first arrived at the school, you brought up this matter to me, suggesting that I build a new blood squad, so that's what I did. I was going to report our progress to you, but you have been really busy recently. I tried to call to discuss it several times, but you never gave me a chance. However, I didn't spend the company's money recklessly. Their training was conducted alongside the trainees under substitute training, but the teaching and research team and I provided them with extra attention and more ammunition."

Only then did Song Heping remember that he had indeed talked to Grey Wolf about this.

At that time, Grey Wolf had just returned to the team after recovering from injuries and had just arrived at this Special Soldier School in South America. Song was worried that he might struggle with psychological issues after stepping back from the front line due to injury, so he found him something to keep busy with.

After all, when a person gets busy, many psychological issues tend to vanish.

It seems Grey Wolf had taken every word of his heart and earnestly implemented them without any dilution.

This touched him deeply.

Where could he find a subordinate like this?

Even though "Musician" was just a housing company, it was still a business.

Any business needs employees like Grey Wolf, who are responsible, taking the company owner's considerations and implementing them thoroughly, not to mention that Grey Wolf himself is a shareholder of the company. He could have gone back to Russia to live out his days doing nothing.

The reasons he stayed were likely a genuine love for this line of work and a shared bond of loyalty.

Thus, Li Anang spoke to him, "Grey Wolf, I'm not blaming you. Our Special Soldier School has its annual budget. How you spend it within the budget is up to you. If it's not enough, just write me an application, and I'll approve it. As long as it's spent effectively, I have no objections."

In fact, Song Heping had always wanted to assemble an elite combat force for his own company.

Now, the most capable fighters in the company are these veteran employees; they are the core team members.

But since the company's founding several years ago, with the expansion and development, the veteran employees have all become executives. Having them take risks again could likely end up with them suffering severe injuries or disabilities like Grey Wolf.

Grey Wolf is no longer able to return to the frontline due to his injuries, and that's why he was kept at the school to serve as the training director.

You can't be a mercenary forever.

Either you transition to an executive role, or you leave the business.

Otherwise, the inevitable end is the tragic fate of a hunting dog dying in the mountains or a general falling on the battlefield.

Song had feelings for these old brothers.

Like White Bear and his wife, if it weren't for a shortage of manpower, and if the couple didn't also enjoy frontline work, he wouldn't allow them to follow him to places like Mexico.

If Grey Wolf could train a new elite squad for the company, it would undoubtedly be a good thing.

"When will they be ready?"

"They have been training for nearly six months now, good quality, just lacking actual combat experience."

"Nearly six months is already impressive?"

Song Heping expressed doubt.

Grey Wolf said, "These are all people I have selected."

At this point, his expression became somewhat strange.

After pausing, he continued, "They are all South Americans, and they are all orphans."

"Orphans?"

Song Heping felt a slight jolt in his heart.

He instantly understood Grey Wolf's intentions.

Orphans are most suitable for training as elite soldiers and for entering special units.

"Yes, all orphans. Some are Venezuelans, some are Colombians, and some are Brazilians, all children who grew up in slums. These young people, as long as they receive generous treatment, can endure hardship very well."

Grey Wolf said, "When we get to the school later, you can test their tactical subjects to see if you are satisfied. We trained them combining the requirements of your country's Special Soldiers with the training model of the paratrooper unit I was part of. Although it's only been half a year, these young men are resilient and willing to risk their lives for the future…"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the others sitting in the car.

"My goal is to train an entire Special Operations Battalion, so our old brothers don't have to go to the front lines themselves."

Queen laughed at this, "Grey Wolf, you're worried about Andre and me falling on the battlefield, right? I appreciate the thought, but both Andre and I actually like this kind of life. I can't even imagine what I would do if there was no more war one day. Money, Andre and I don't lack it now. If it was really about money, we wouldn't risk our lives with the boss."

Song Heping couldn't help but turn his head back and say to the Queen, "I must say, Queen, I just don't understand you Russian women. Are you all like this? Come to think of it, both you and your hubby are in your thirties, right? I advise you to find some time and make a little one."

After that, he turned his gaze towards White Bear: "Andre, is there something wrong with you? After all this time, the Queen still isn't pregnant?"

Everyone in the car burst into laughter when this topic came up.

The atmosphere instantly lightened up.

White Bear, with a face as stoic as Guan Gong's, lunged from behind and wrapped his arms around Song Heping's neck, shouting, "Song, this is my private matter!"

He didn't call Song Heping "Boss", but just "Song".

This, oddly enough, made Song Heping feel a bit of warmth in his heart.

Back in the day, when he first joined this team, it wasn't even a company.

Everyone called each other brothers at that time.

These days, with the company growing, the cook gone, and himself having become the boss, everyone either called him "Boss" or "Big Brother". From the bottom of his heart, Song Heping didn't like these distant titles.

However, before the cook left, they had talked about this matter. The cook had said that if one day the company expanded, you, as the boss, should act like one.

Mercy does not command soldiers, nor does righteousness govern wealth.

Those are eternal truths.

So later, when everyone began calling him "Big Brother" or "Boss", Song Heping didn't oppose it and calmly accepted it.

"This is not a private matter, it's a family matter!" Song Heping said with a laugh: "We're like a big family, all brothers here. You and the Queen should have been married and had kids by now. You haven't even gone through the marriage procedures, have you? Everyone, tell me, shouldn't we throw a grand wedding for them?"

Grey Wolf was the first to raise his hand: "I agree! Otherwise, we'll deduct from his year-end bonus... Oh right, doesn't your country have some sort of family planning policy? Our company should also establish such rules – fine those who don't have kids, and bonuses for those who do!"

"Suka!" White Bear got irritated, spitting as he cursed: "Grey Wolf! A guy who doesn't even have a girlfriend dares to chime in here! Alright then! Everyone who's not married should also get fined!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone laughed so hard they were bending forwards and backwards.

"Don't rush, I might really have kids before you!" Grey Wolf said, "I've got a girlfriend now!"

"Oh?!"

The crowd was greatly surprised.

Song Heping quickly asked, "It's only been a few months since we last met, and you've got a girlfriend?! Where did you meet her?"

"A local girl from Venezuela, works in the administrative office at the school." Grey Wolf said, smirking slyly with a proud look: "The kind you can balance a glass on her backside!"

"Shhh—"

The crowd started jeering again.

"Bullshit!"

"Exactly!"

"Bring her back for us to see!"

"Quiet down!"

Song Heping raised his hand to quell the commotion and laughter.

"Grey Wolf was right about what he said earlier – the company has grown rapidly in the past few years, and everyone here has contributed. I plan to discuss with Ferrari after we're done with the business in Mexico; in the future, our company must establish a system to reward married employees, including marriage leave, maternity leave, bonuses, and everything. We can't be mercenaries for life. We need to move onto land, to defense, understand? Defense!"

He was very serious when he said this.

"I am also considering another matter – us old brothers need to increase our value. I'll look for some connections and see if I can get you guys to study at a military academy, otherwise, sticking to the old ways and living off past glories, we will definitely decline."

"Military academy? Study?!"

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up.

"Old squad leader, I want to go to West Point, or to the American Ranger School, to learn their techniques."

Song Heping glanced at him and said, "Why go to West Point? There are better places."

"Where?!" Jiang Feng asked.

The first thing that came to Song Heping's mind was Duke of Thunder.

Would the 203 be open to foreign training?

If they were, that would be the best military training course in the world.

After all, he had done favors for Duke of Thunder, so there was a slight chance if he asked. Even if they could send someone over to his own school for guidance, that would be tremendous.
