The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol

New York is a city with relatively distinct four seasons, but at this time of spring, the temperature is still a little low, barely staying above freezing at night, and usually not exceeding ten degrees Celsius during the day.

Those who are afraid of the cold may still be wearing long johns at the moment, but most of the trees have sprouted green buds. Some trees that like to compete for spring, such as the cherry blossoms in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Central Park, have already begun to bloom. All over the branches.

Hannah happily changed into a red and white witch costume and took a group of her best friends to Silver Lake Park on Staten Island. The cherry blossoms there were also good and perfect for taking pictures.

In the afternoon, he went to the small Soviet-style garden of the Staten Island Botanical Garden to drink a cup of green tea. Jack said that he had no regrets in his life.

He just went to Washington a few days ago. Maybe it was a breakup that was better than a wedding. The two royal sisters Zoe and Maureen were particularly enthusiastic, which made someone feel particularly "sage" psychologically these past two days.

As soon as Jack returned to the city, Jason Hayes brought his whole family to New York with Clay Spencer, who was still recovering from his injury, and his pregnant new wife Stella, who was currently in Staten Island. Pick a house.

The previous two windfalls, coupled with the generous retirement pension and disabled military allowance, were enough to support Clay in settling down around New York. Jack, who had already been prepared, directly recommended the community near Danny's home.

After all, the newlyweds were new here, especially Stella, who was still pregnant, and Danny's wife Linda enthusiastically offered to provide all the help she could.

It was only later that Jack learned that Linda was not actually a full-time housewife. She was a hospital nurse. However, she was too busy taking care of her two sons and often only worked a few half-day shifts a week.

Danny's family can be regarded as a typical middle-class family in the United States, but now it is different from the past, and the life of a middle-class family is also very tight. Of course, Linda is not really short of that little income, but she just can't have enough time. There is a kind of womanly ability in her heart. A stubbornness that holds up half the sky.

This gave Jack a sense of what it was like during and after World War II, when old American housewives rushed into factories to make screws. Unfortunately, the golden age has long gone.

He hadn't thought of finding a way to help him before. The son of the dignified police chief couldn't help but feel distressed after eating a lobster, but there was no particularly good opportunity for the time being.

After all, Danny is an NYPD detective. It's a bit too much for Jack to drag him to play gangsters on his own territory. To put it bluntly, if he really wants to, there are plenty of opportunities. Why should he be beaten by an FBI from Los Angeles? Drag down.

But going to other places or abroad, such as Mexico, requires some risks and a suitable opportunity. If it doesn't work out, Jack plans to simply wait for Chris's company to go public and let him know some inside information to make a fortune from the stock.

The injury on Clay's leg is not a serious problem. The scar looks scary, and he has been classified as disabled. He still needs crutches to walk. However, this strong special soldier is already actively rehabilitating, and his recovery is as good as that of a certain soldier. It was very good as people expected.

At Quantico, Jack has already made all the arrangements through Rosie. He only needs to wait for Clay to report in a week, and he will be able to join the shift midway. In three months, he will become an official FBI field agent.

Neither Jack nor Clay themselves considered the possibility of failing the FBI assessment at all.

Even though the guys in Team B always joked about Clay being the new guy, he was just the last one to join the team and had a bit of a thorny personality. Everyone knew that he was supposed to be Jason's most suitable successor. Candidate.

At the same time, don't think of these seals as muscle-bound but simple-minded soldiers. In addition to their physical fitness far exceeding that of ordinary people, their minds are also far superior to that of ordinary people.

No one is stupid who can enter the T1 level special forces. They must learn to drive various types of land, sea and air vehicles, operate communications equipment, master various tactical theories, and be proficient in at least one foreign language.

In addition, they must have at least one technical expertise, weapons, engineering, communications, medical treatment, etc. For example, Clay's expertise is blasting and bomb disposal, but this does not mean that he is weak in other areas.

If measured by Jack's system skills, it is nothing more than the difference between master and master. For people like Clay, their so-called non-specialty fields are equivalent to the expertise of an elite soldier.

The FBI naturally covets such talents, not to mention that Quantico training only focuses on academic courses in the second half, with tactical courses such as early physical fitness and shooting training, so Clay joining the class midway is actually for the benefit of others. With the level at which he can teach instructors, it is easy to undermine the confidence of other students.

Of course, according to Jack's request, after becoming a trainee agent, Clay will also study 560 hours of behavior analysis theory courses to become a psychological behavior analyst.

In this case, if something like the disbandment and reorganization of the Most Wanted Group happens again in the future, Jack can directly take Clay to the BAU, and he will be responsible for the whole process of deceiving people into the FBI, unless one day Clay takes the initiative to withdraw. This is The principles by which he conducts himself.

After a busy and fulfilling weekend, Clay and Stella finally settled down. They bought a house on the same street as Danny's house. Danny's house was in the middle of the street and their house was at the end of the street.

The house is less than five years old and can barely be called a new house. I have barely lived in it since it was completed and renovated. I only need to buy some furniture and appliances to live in it happily. This is the benefit of having a local friend as a friend.

The NYPD is the biggest local gangster in New York. Their police station computers can easily access the management system that registers real estate information across New York. Danny just made a small impersonation for personal gain and helped solve a problem that has caused ordinary people a headache for a long time.

Seeing that Jack and his friends were so helpful in arranging everything, Jason Hayes said goodbye and left. He still felt a little guilty about Clay, and now he could finally let go.

The veteran was half-drunk by Jack and Clay the night before leaving, and he confided some of his feelings. He was also considering retirement.

The officer system and the non-commissioned officer system of the US military are two different promotion systems. It is basically impossible for Jason, the old sergeant major, to be promoted as an officer. In the non-commissioned officer system, there is no problem with seniority, but it seems to be a little bit behind.

Five-star General McHather once famously said in his retirement speech, "Veterans never die but slowly wither."

This is also shown in literary and artistic works. The best destination for those battlefield veterans who are accustomed to being rained with bullets on the battlefield is to fall on the last bullet before the end of the battle. It seems that such an ending is the ultimate romance.

Considering that the five-star general personally caused the "Washington Massacre" when he was the Chief of Staff of the Army and ordered tanks to run over the flesh and blood of veterans, that famous saying should be dismissed as bullshit, the ultimate in literary and artistic works. Romance is not what every veteran looks forward to.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Jason to worry about his future. He has plenty of money now, but it seems a bit too early to start "enjoying" retirement life in his early forties.

How veterans who are accustomed to their military career can re-learn and adapt to ordinary people's lives after retirement is a very serious sociological issue.

The reason why it is so difficult for veterans in the United States to reintegrate into society is not only due to drug abuse, but also has a lot to do with the veterans' placement system.

In this regard, Jack could only say that he might be able to provide some suggestions in the future, but he was strongly opposed to him continuing to do PMC or other work after he retired from the army. Instead, he could leave Jason with a position such as security director in the future.

After all, people are not willing to enjoy life. When society cannot give these veterans enough social status and respect, the best way is to make them rich and at the same time give them a position as an employee of a large company, thus improving their career in disguise. Social status.

Jack is very confident in Chris's company plan, which is still mostly in the plan. The only thing missing now is time.

As long as the layout is completed before the big capital reacts, he dare not say that he will build a Microsoft or Google, but there is still a great chance to replicate the success of "Tik Tok" in the previous life. This is not a boast.

After sending Jason Hayes away, Jack began to prepare his deception plan again. Clay's left leg problem will have to be solved sooner or later, but at least part of it must be solved for now, so as not to overly affect his training that is about to start in Quantico.

After struggling for a long time between acupuncture and massage, Jack finally decided to use acupuncture. Before, it was one thing to go to Washington to massage two ladies, but to give a massage to a 200-pound man would be boring.

Everything went well. Jack and Hannah left Clay's new home that night. As soon as they drove past Danny's house, they received a call from Jubal. Just now, a murder occurred in the Bronx and a traffic policeman was killed. The NYPD asks the FBI for help.

Just after the call ended, Danny's plainclothes police car was seen whizzing through the middle of the road with its lights flashing and its sirens blaring, holding on to the yellow line. Jack immediately followed it with its sirens blaring.
