Chapter 210
In an air force base in Saudi Arabia.
Ovilan, this is a senior fighter pilot with 10 years of flying experience.
"Major Ovilan, Colonel Hassan of the base wants to see you. The colonel is waiting for you in the office now." A messenger said to Ovilan.
"What does the colonel want to see me for?"
Anyone who is called by the leader will feel a little uneasy, not to mention that he was detained by the local police for drunk driving two days ago.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I don't know. The colonel didn't say what it was."
"Okay, I know, I'll go now."
Colonel Hassan's office.
Ovilan knocked on the door, and without waiting for a response from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.
"Boss, what do you want to see me for?" Ovilan said carelessly.
Hassan was originally the squadron leader of their flight squadron. Now he no longer flies and does management work instead.
"Ovilan, I've told you so many times that you have to report when you enter the door." Hassan said helplessly.
"Boss, come on, why do these empty formalities?"
"It doesn't matter to me, but if you run into General Aziz and still do this, be careful that the general will lock you up in a small dark room."
Hassan admired this subordinate very much. He had good flying skills, worked seriously, and had a strong sense of responsibility, but he was too straightforward and offended the boss above.
So, although he was already a senior pilot, he was still just a small major.
"How could the general embarrass a small person like me?" Ovilan took out a cigar from a drawer in a familiar way, cut it, and then put it in his mouth, took a deep puff, and blew out a big smoke ring.
"It's so cool!"
"You kid, this is an authentic Cuban cigar worth $100, and you ruined it like this." Hassan laughed and scolded.
"Boss, what do you want to talk to me about? Is it because of my drunk driving two days ago?" Ovilan's voice was a little nervous.
"Ovilan, how is your wife's illness?" Hassan suddenly asked.
Ovilan was silent.
After a long while, he said with difficulty: "Sarah's heart is failing. The doctor told me that I must have surgery as soon as possible. He suggested that it would be better to go to the Mayo Clinic in the Lighthouse Country, where the success rate will be higher.
However, I asked around and found that the surgery alone would cost at least 1.5 million US dollars, not including the cost of nursing and subsequent expenses..."
At this point, Oviedo's eyes began to turn red.
He and his wife are childhood sweethearts. They have been together since childhood and have known each other for more than 30 years.
But now, Sarah will soon leave him due to heart failure...
Although Saudi Arabia's salary is high, it is not high enough for a middle-level military officer to do a million-dollar surgery at will.
Now, Orlando's salary is more than 5,000 US dollars. Counting the flight missions and some miscellaneous subsidies, he can get about 7,000 to 8,000 a month.
Calculated in this way, it is nearly 100,000 US dollars a year, which is really a good income.
However, his wife's illness, plus some subsequent medical expenses, will cost at least 2 million US dollars.
This means that he will have to work for more than 20 years without eating or drinking.
Asan patted his shoulder and said, "Oviland, don't be discouraged. Sarah may encounter a miracle."
But even he himself didn't believe it when he said this.
"Boss, what exactly do you want to see me for?" Oviland asked again.
He is in a bad mood now. If the boss has nothing to do with him, he will go to the bar to get drunk in a while.
Only when the nerves are anesthetized can he feel more relaxed.
Hassan looked at him and hesitated.
Then, he asked tentatively: "Ovilan, if there is an opportunity that can make you earn at least 1.5 million US dollars at one time, but the premise is that you may be ruined or die..."
However, Hassan did not finish his words, Ovilan rushed to him in one step, pinched Hassan's arm with a pair of iron-like hands, and said excitedly: "Boss, is it true? Is there really a chance to earn more than 1.5 million US dollars?"
Hassan nodded.
"Ovilan, but this requires your life. Even if you are lucky and do not die on the spot, you will definitely be expelled from the army in the end, and even sent to a military court." Hassan said seriously again.
"Boss, these are not important. Just tell me, is what you said true? Is there really a chance to earn more than 1.5 million US dollars?"
Compared to his own life, Ovilan values his wife more.'s chance of survival.
If he had the $1.5 million, his wife could go to the Mayo Clinic for heart surgery.
It was just a life for a life, and Ovilan was not at a disadvantage. Moreover, from the tone of the leader, he was not certain to die.
After a long silence, Hassan slowly spoke again: "Ovilan, I tell you again that this matter is top secret and the possibility of death is very high.
Now you can still withdraw. Once you know the whole story, there will be no room for maneuver. Either do it or die. Have you thought it through?" Asan repeated again.
From his own perspective, he did not want Ovilan to take such a mission.
However, as Sarah's condition worsened, Ovilan began to drink heavily, trying to numb himself with alcohol.
But alcoholism is suicide for an excellent pilot.
Hassan did not want this subordinate whom he valued to be ruined like this.
But he could not lend Ovilan $1.5 million.
"Boss, tell me what the mission is. I'll take it."
"No regrets?"
"No regrets."
"Okay, let me tell you about it. Babylon's missile destroyed a Persian tanker docked in Holmes over 1,000 kilometers away. You should know about this, right?"
Ovilan nodded.
"Boss, is the mission related to this?"
Because of this incident, many countries in the Gulf began to feel insecure, fearing that Babylon's next missile would hit them.
"Yes, our procurement staff has contacted the arms dealer who sold the missiles to Babylon. The good news is that the other party can also sell us this type of missile, and even sells enhanced missiles with a longer range.
But the bad news is that they have a prerequisite. They hope to get one of our combat-ready F15 fighters..."
Hassan slowly opened his mouth and stated the other party's condition.
"Impossible. If we export the F15 fighters, the Lighthouse Country will cause trouble for us."
