Old Kyle is about in his fifties.
His strong figure, which he once retired from the army, has gradually lost shape in more than ten years of life, but now he still looks like an old man with a good figure.
Although I like to drink strong drinks on weekdays, and like to curse and make trouble in bars when I'm drunk, in some aspects such as work and emotions, I am really quite conscious and self-disciplined, just like being strict in the army, and also Let Liszt and the retired guys in the army feel a sense of intimacy.
But now this sense of intimacy has turned into a kind of sadness in Old Kyle's words.
Even though Liszt was prepared, his heart was still throbbing slightly.
And when he looked up at the familiar repair shop in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head slowly, and asked with some bitterness: "Is it really going to be disbanded?"
After he was forced to retire by the military court, he came directly to this auto repair shop.
He spent nearly a year getting along day and night, and he had already become friends with these guys who had similar personalities.
Including Old Kyle, a guy who is more than 20 years older than them.
Although they secretly complain about him on weekdays, they regard him more as a strict superior commander, and they are the subordinates of Old Kyle.
A few soldiers.
"Maybe we can cheer up.
At least this auto repair shop is also your hard work, isn't it?"
Gary's dark face was already covered with sweat, and his nervousness and sourness made his words somewhat incomplete.
However, his trembling lips were still looking at the old Kyle in front of him, and his voice was almost pleading: "Maybe we can also We can lower the salary, but since we don’t even have a girlfriend, it’s useless to ask for such a high salary.”
"Well, Gary, the day will come."
Old Kyle pursed his lips slightly, trying to raise a smile, but looking at the heavy faces of everyone in front of him, he couldn't maintain the forced smile.
Taking a deep breath, he let his uneasy heart gradually settle down, looked at Gary, Liszt and the others, nodded slowly and said: "We were all soldiers once, but now we should go back to the army. , the American Federation needs us now.”
"Are we going to start a war?
Who will we fight this time?"
A colleague next to him spoke slowly, but directly jumped into the topic.
As a former member of the elite special forces, he still had a keen sense of war, especially considering the crisis of lack of oil resources.
He couldn't help but look up at Old Kyle and asked: "We retired soldiers, will be asked to return to active duty."
If they really want to prepare for war, even retired soldiers will ask for military training again to prepare for emergencies and fill the gap in the active force.
It can be said that all the employees in this auto repair shop are soldiers who have retired from various units of the U.S.
Army, and several of them have been on the frontline battlefield in Mexico a few years ago.
When they heard the word war, they immediately raised their heads sensitively and looked with some surprise at the colleague who spoke and the frowning old Kyle beside them.
"Maybe, but who knows."
Smiling slightly, Old Kyle reluctantly put a smile on his face.
He looked at the employees in front of him who had been getting along for a long time, and suddenly felt as if something was missing.
This auto repair shop had put almost all his efforts into it, but now it seemed like he had given up on his own child, which made him unable to lift his mood.
But he still put the pipe into his mouth, waved his hands towards the others and said, "The people from the Veterans Association will find you then."
But as he spoke, looking at the heavy crowd in front of him, his back molars could not help but clenched slowly.
His teeth seemed to be chewing bones, biting the pipe mouthpiece in his mouth.
The fine pine wood and silver pipe mouthpiece had a few marks: "This is really a disappointing banquet."
Old Kyle endured He couldn't help but curse softly: "Those sons of bitches."
The war will eventually begin, but not now.
Lister was quite sure, because based on the chronology he knew in his previous life, the Soviet Union that replaced China in this world was almost exactly the same as China in the previous life's radiation.
Moreover, the United States and the Soviet Union have also begun energy negotiations.
Although the two sides have signed some non-aggression and non-war treaties that are not nutritious at all, this kind of thing, which is no different from waste paper, has been maintained for several years.
Certain effect.
Perhaps both sides are concerned about each other's strength.
There may be some small-scale conflicts or battles in 2060 and 2066, but the world has fallen into a strange silence due to the increasingly depleting oil resources, and there are almost no major conflicts.
A large-scale war occurs.
And the only ones that can cause so-called large-scale wars are the Soviet Union and the United States, because these are the only two superpowers and military powers on the earth today.

The European Union collapsed due to the depletion of oil resources, and even Germany had colluded with the Soviet Union, almost openly.
The Middle East Coalition Forces, formed in the Middle East due to the EU's invasion, have automatically disintegrated as the oil resources have dried up, and have returned to the days of poverty.
As for the uncivilized parts of Africa, where warlords are still fighting for their lives and the people are struggling to survive, compared to the so-called wasteland of later generations, apart from the absence of radiation and mutated monsters, it is not far behind.
"It shouldn't be that bad.
The Mexican battlefield has come to an end."
With a slight shrug, Liszt took the initiative to speak, letting this dull and depressing topic go.
Seeing the old Kyle smoking his pipe in deep thought in front of him, he couldn't help but smile to his colleagues next to him: "Is there any unrivaled opponent of the United States Federation in North and South America?"
He paused, and then continued to smile: "Obviously not.
Let's go to the bar and have a good drink.
Maybe it will be much better than here."
"Then it's my treat.
No matter how much you drink today, it's all mine."
Liszt's words undoubtedly broke the stiff air.
Old Kyle put down the pipe in his mouth, stretched his hands to both sides as if for exercise, and then looked at the colleagues in front of him, his face But he showed the same laughing expression as before: "Look at you, you look like a bitch."
He hit the chests of the employees in front of him one by one, and still laughed and said: "Let's go, take advantage of the situation."
We still have gas in the car.”
"This is a farewell gift from our old customer, Stephen."
As he said this, Old Kyle threw the key he took out of his trouser pocket to Gary, and at the same time pointed to a van not far away with his chin.
The RV said to the black young man who still had red eyes: "I'll let you drive this time.
As long as I don't hit him and explode, it's up to you."
"Of course, trust my skills, just like I can drink a dozen of the best cocktails."
Gary also sorted out his emotions and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He gritted his teeth, held the car keys in his hand, and walked towards the van.
He quickly got into the car and started it, roared the accelerator and drove directly in front of them.
He said loudly to Old Kyle: "I remember that stingy guy Stephen, and now he gave this RV to you.
I will never give up.
He knows what it means to be bold.”
"It's up to you."
Old Kyle shrugged, as if he felt sorry for Stephen's van, but he also smiled at Gary indifferently: "But one thing, remember to send us back safely.
Home."
Several people around him laughed suddenly and entered the familiar trunk one after another.
But when Liszt also wanted to go up, Old Kyle stretched out his hand to hold him and said in his ear: "I was asked to inform you that the Black Oak Bar in the east of the city is at seven o'clock in the evening.
You can go there alone."
"What"
Liszt was slightly startled, but the action between the two of them did not last more than a second.
When Old Kyle said this again, he had already pulled Liszt down and got into the trunk first.
Just when Liszt was a little dazed, he found that Old Kyle, who was pretending to laugh, shook his head slightly towards him, causing him to change his words and said in a helpless tone: "Hey, don't be like this, let's I'll go first."
"Our best car mechanics are now eating dust on our asses" Seeing Liszt clearly understanding what he meant, the smile on Old Kyle's face grew brighter.
He nodded with satisfaction towards Liszt, stretched out his hand to pull him up on the carriage, then patted the cab in front and said loudly: "Gary, you damn lazy guy, let us get drunk today."
Everyone cheered, but Liszt's smiling expression suddenly showed a hint of surprise.
He looked at Old Kyle's face talking and laughing freely as usual, but for some reason, those slight words just now made him feel a little bit chilly in his heart.
He thought of the Death Claw leak incident a month ago and the perverted scientific experiments of the United States Federation that he learned about in his previous life.
He couldn't help but pursed his lips and looked out the window at the city street scene that had been repaired and looked the same as before, but he felt something in his heart.
It’s a sudden: “What will happen”:
