At the end of the meeting, Lin Rui and the others returned to the silver wolf.

"It seems that Mr. K is still trustworthy. At least this time he helped a lot. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"I'm afraid it's not his intention, he may have the ability to help us, but he doesn't have the ability to do this. The silver wolf shook his head. "In my opinion, neither the United States nor the top management want to see chaos within the mercenary alliance at this time. Their main target is still the Middle East, so they need mercenaries from Africa to help them. ”

"That's how it should be. Shogishi nodded. "The U.S. intelligence community is also aware of the existence of the Secret Society, and they also want to use us to assist African countries in order to control the situation, lest the Secret Society expand rapidly and eventually fall into a situation where no one can limit it. ”

Lin Rui took a deep breath and said, "But this time is indeed dangerous, Hughes and Joe have already contacted many military companies, and are ready to question the silver wolf at this meeting, and attack in groups." Eventually, he was coerced into stepping down from his position as president of the league and replacing him. A lot of people have already been moved by what they say, and if it weren't for that last wave of calls, the outcome would be hard to say. ”

The silver wolf sat at the large desk, silent.

"What's wrong Silver Wolf, that's a good thing, isn't it?" Sergei frowned, "Finally we have some of the emergency funds, and we still keep our seat in the Mercenary Alliance. It didn't turn out too badly, did it?"

"I'm not worried about this, it's about other things. The silver wolf whispered, "The CIA must have other plans to help us like this." They don't do anything in vain. ”

"But that's what Mr. K promised us. Sergei frowned, "He promised to help us as a reward for the task, and we solved his problem." What else could he ask for? Besides, we ignored him, and this operation was so miserable to hide us. ”

"Forget it, leave that alone. The silver wolf shook his head and said, "Although Hughes and the others were deliberately making things difficult for us just now, he was right about one thing, our current financial situation is not optimistic. Fortunately, the last mission in Greece had already received payment from Aladdin. It's not much, but it's enough to help us get through this time.

However, the economy has eased for the time being, but we cannot be sloppy in personnel, and our several battles this time have led to a great loss of vitality. There were many casualties among the personnel, and the combat capability was greatly reduced. I feel like I have to hurry up and add that. What do you recommend?"

Black Panther Guray nodded, "Personnel is indeed a big problem. Otherwise, even if there is a mission, we don't have manpower, what should we do?"

"That's what I thought, too. Silver Wolf nodded, "What are your plans?" ”

"In the current situation, we don't have much time and energy to find people to train, and we don't want elite squads like O2, but ordinary combat personnel. It is better to supplement in Africa, some fighters who have basic combat experience, know how to operate weapons, and do not need a lot of time training. Black Panther Guray replied. "Personally, I tend to look for it in Uganda. ”

At present, mercenaries are a mature industry. They are generally employed by private security companies and are often sent to war-torn areas, and many of these low-level mercenaries are from the East African country of Uganda.

In fact, today's Uganda, which borders the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and South Sudan, is a country with civil strife, a relatively stable political situation, a growing economy, rising consumer demand, and shopping malls all over Kampala. Like many of the more backward countries, Uganda's economy is largely dependent on foreign investment, but it has one export specialty that no one else can match: mercenaries.

Everywhere in Uganda are the marks of mercenaries. On television, a company called Middle East Consultants was advertising job advertisements for able-bodied young men to be stationed in Dubai, chatting with taxi drivers, and meeting that almost everyone had a friend or relative who had been a mercenary. Uganda, with a population of only 370,000, has a population of only 370,000 and how many mercenaries it exports each year, official statistics are not available.

Rather, Ugandans in Iraq provide security to American diplomats in Baghdad and Basra, foreign businessmen from Afghanistan and Somalia and international aid agencies are employers, and Qatari government offices rely on them to patrol the stadium when the 2o22 Football World Cup is being played here.

Some of these mercenaries are elites who have received American-style anti-terrorism training in Jordan, while most of them have no professional training at all before going on missions in foreign countries, and they can be called as long as they are 17o centimeters tall.

Tempted by the lure of salary, many young Ugandans are eager to join the ranks of overseas mercenaries, even if they have no experience working with weapons. If they can return to their hometowns safely, they can use the money they earn to buy land, build houses, and open shops, which will greatly improve their lives.

Mercenaries are an important source of foreign exchange earnings for Uganda. Statistics from the Ministry of Women, Labor and Social Exhibitions show that in 2oo9, the foreign exchange sent back by mercenaries from overseas had already exceeded their coffee export earnings.

INTERPOL's Kampala branch is responsible for conducting background checks on Ugandans who are about to be sent overseas for security work, and only those who pass can be granted exit permits to ensure that they are not recruited by extremist groups as terrorists. Such reviews are carried out at about 1oo per month, excluding those who are stationed in non-sensitive areas without review, whose permits have expired and are not reported in a timely manner, or who are smuggled out. Industry insiders conservatively estimate that the total number of Ugandan mercenaries currently working overseas is around 20,000.

These mercenaries are skilled in the use of weapons and have experienced actual combat, so finding mercenaries in Uganda is a shortcut.

Many local businesses in Uganda that engage in mercenary business are also growing. Askar Security Services was the first homegrown company to provide services to Western military contractors during the Iraq war, sending thousands of Ugandans to Iraq. Its headquarters building has a large independent site and is currently well known in Uganda.

Black Panther Guray also had some encounters with this company, so he proposed to lease a group of personnel through a local military contractor to come over for emergencies.

"Lending?" Lin Rui frowned, "Can you still do this?"

"Yes, their mercenaries are idle when they don't have a mission, and we borrow them through a lend-lease agreement for our mission, and we are responsible for the salary of these mercenaries during the lease period, which is less economical than direct recruitment. And if you think it's good, you can negotiate a contract with them and hire someone to us. Black Panther Guray nodded.
