Chapter 1841: Mercenary Crisis
"Looks like you've been doing a good business lately. Lin Rui put down the weapon in his hand and said.
"In general, it's far worse than before. After Aladdin took over, the Secret Society is now the biggest arms dealer, and I'm about to run out of food by these guys. Alpha shook his head and said, "I've been holding these stocks in my hands for almost half a year. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed to make a move and would have gone to the broker for help. ”
He took a few steps, took out a bottle of wine from the box and threw it to Sergey, "For you, Russian!"
"Water of Life!" Sergei laughed, "but you know me best." "The eaux-de-vie he is talking about is Russian vodka.
Alpha waved to his bodyguards, "It's okay, these are my friends, go and stay outside." After the bodyguards walked out, Alpha frowned and said, "Don't talk about me, tell me about you." I recently heard that the situation of your Black Island company is not very good?"
"It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "It's not as bad as the legend, but it's really not optimistic, this time we came to Uganda just to recruit people." At present, we have suffered serious losses in the battle and are short of personnel, so we must first find a group of people to deal with emergencies. ”
"No wonder, but you may be disappointed. Alpha frowned.
"We've been disappointed, and it looks like that Wallace can't count on it. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "How is your relationship with the people in these mercenary companies?"
"I've dealt with them, but I don't have a good relationship. I also sell a lot of weapons to the DRC, and I don't negotiate much with the mercenaries in Uganda. And I guess it's useless for you to find anyone this time. Alpha frowned.
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Ugandans who are now sent overseas to do security work are subject to background checks, and only those who pass are allowed to leave the country to ensure that they are not recruited by extremist groups as terrorists.
Security positions are usually provided by multinational security companies such as SOC, and last month, the mercenary company recruited more than 5oo mercenaries for SOC as a subcontractor to go to Iraq, with a monthly salary of about 9oo US dollars. Now, they are afraid that they don't have many troops in their hands. "Alpha Road.
Lin Rui frowned and said, "You mean, the few local mercenary companies don't have enough soldiers?"
"No, at least no formal channels. Alpha whispered, "And I suspect the Order might be hiring people here, too." ”
"No, they don't usually look for outsiders. Lin Rui frowned.
Alpha whispered, "That was before, and now if they want to make a big move in Africa, they need a lot of grassroots mercenaries. Ugandan mercenaries are well-known, and many of them have participated in combat. So these people are the Order's chosen men.
This situation is also perceived by the recent increased scrutiny on the part of Uganda, as well as in several neighbouring countries, usually by entrusting regular military companies to carry out the work. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it, but in reality many people are not necessarily going to the Middle East, but are sent to other parts of Africa. ”
"In other words, the Order may be recruiting people here, too. So it's caused the regular channel personnel to be nervous, so are there still people from the informal channel?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes. But going through informal channels is too risky. There is everything in these people, there are wanted fugitives, desperate ** army soldiers, and ordinary outlaws. There are even those who have never been on the battlefield at all, and simply want to try their luck and get a high-paying job. It is not uncommon for people to be on the battlefield and get their hands on the battlefield when they see blood. Alpha shook his head.
Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, he could only smile bitterly, "I didn't think there was so much knowledge in this." ”
"Of course, most of the mercenaries in formal channels are provided by more formal local mercenary companies. After training and physical examination, there is basically no problem. But the mercenaries of the informal channels have a lot of sources and everything. If you encounter a few people with infectious diseases, you will be in big trouble. Alpha shrugged.
"But now that we're here, we'll have to try our luck. Lin Rui frowned.
"Whatever you want. Don't get your hopes up too much for that broker Wallace, though. Beware of being pitted by him. Alpha shook his head and said, "It's safe here, you can go upstairs and rest." I'll have dinner brought over in a moment, and we'll have two drinks in the evening. ”
"Thank you!" Lin Rui stretched out his fist and touched him. It was a surprise to meet Alpha here, and even more so to the situation here. If it's really as Alpha said, then their recruitment mission this time is indeed a bit troublesome.
Formal channels can't recruit people, and informal channels don't have insurance. It's a real dilemma. Lin Rui looked at Jiang An with some hesitation, "Actuary, what do you think?"
"What do you say?" said Shogan after a moment of silence, "Alpha is in the arms business, and he has eyes and ears everywhere. His message should be reliable. And judging from the current situation, the Secret Society does need to use mercenaries to supplement the strength of those ** armed forces, otherwise those ** armies will not be able to fight the government army. So I think he's right. ”
"That means we're really having trouble recruiting people now?" Sergei frowned.
"It's not difficult, it depends on what we talk to about with Askar Security Services. However, at present, the market is bullish, and it may be difficult for us to get the right price for the soldiers. In other words, even if they have mercenaries in their hands, it will be difficult for us to win them at an ordinary price. Everyone understands the truth that strange goods can live. Shogishi shrugged.
"Sadly, we can't afford to pay a lot of money in our current situation. Lin Rui frowned.
"What then?" Snakeeye frowned, "Don't you see each other and go back like this?"
"Of course it can't be, but we'll have to meet with Wallace and see how he talks with Askar Security Services. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "If there is something to talk about, just talk about it." If not, we can't go back empty-handed, we have to find people. It really doesn't work, and we can only try not to go through Askar Security Services and go through abnormal channels. ”
"It's not an abnormal channel, that's a black market mercenary?" Jiang An frowned, "This is a bit risky." ”
"At the moment, there is a huge shortage of manpower, and if we can't find a suitable source of troops, the risk will be even greater. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
