Chapter 1843: Shortage of Soldiers
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Rui and others came to Askar Security Services with the black broker Wallace. It was one of the first to be established and a major company in Uganda to export mercenaries overseas.
Ugandan mercenaries are a "bargain" option for military contractors. A salary of $1,000 a month is enough for a Ugandan veteran to go to Iraq or other war zones, because according to the average salary in Ukraine during the same period, he will not earn more than $300 a year in the country.
However, in terms of the dangers of the job, a thousand dollars pays a pittance. The main U.S. military base in Iraq, Camp Victory, is guarded by Ugandan mercenaries, and security tasks include checking for bombs in vehicles entering and exiting.
This work could cost them their lives at any time, and their treatment is pitifully low in the eyes of the U.S. military. Therefore, Ugandan mercenaries quickly became famous in the security industry with the advantage of "cheap and high-quality", and became a common end of the supply chain of the mercenary industry, and the top of the supply chain is often the Pentagon.
As an export mercenary, the Askar Security Service Company has also risen in the tide, and it has been booming in recent years. Although as a low-end link, they can get limited profits, but it does not prevent them from becoming a pivotal role in the eyes of various military and security companies.
The guards at the door were strict, and several big black men were wearing white shirts and black suits, all with swarthy and shiny bald heads, and sunglasses. Stand there and check the belongings of the person entering it. If there is a weapon, it will be kept safe. Looking at their search methods, they are quite formal. This shows that these security guards have received rigorous training.
Lin Rui and the others followed Wallace inside, and Wallace whispered a few words to one of the security guards. The black security guard nodded, walked over, and gave priority to Lin Rui and the others to check. Lin Rui and Jiang An didn't care, but Yelena wouldn't let this big black man search him.
She grabbed the black security guard's wrist and said coldly, "Take your claws away!"
The big black man frowned and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, it's a safety rule." ”
"Any rule can be changed. Lin Rui put a card in front of him. The black man looked at it, and immediately bowed his head and walked away. This is a card of the Black Isle Military Company, with the Black Island and lightning bolt decoration on it, which has quite a lot of weight in the mercenary community throughout Africa. This big black man naturally knows a lot, and another reason is that his wrists are already bruised. The woman who looked beautiful, her hands were like iron tongs.
The black man looked at them with some awe and made a gesture of please.
"It's long overdue, as I said, these three are honored guests. Wallace muttered as he walked.
"Is that Mr. Rick of the Black Isle Military Company?" a black woman walked out and nodded politely to them.
"Yes, we have appointments. Wallace nodded.
The black woman smiled professionally, "Please come with me, Mr. Fielder is waiting for you in his office." ”
Lin Rui nodded and followed the woman to an office on the fourth floor. The bodyguard at the door opened the door for them.
As soon as they entered, one of the black men inside immediately got up and greeted them, stretched out his hand to Lin Rui and said, "Hello, Mr. Rick." I'm the Vice President of Askar Security Services and the Head of Expatriation, and you can call me Fei Jie. ”
Lin Rui nodded, "Hello." ”
After a few people sat down, the black man Ferry smiled and said, "I probably heard Wallace tell you what you mean." To be honest, being able to work with a big company like Kuroshima is something we dream of. And I have great respect for Mr. Michelle of your company. But ......"
Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Although my English is not very good, I also know that after 'but', it is usually a turning point. ”
"Hehe, that's exactly what Mr. Rick is. Fei Jie smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, we attach great importance to this business with you. Because I know the weight of the Black Isle Corporation in the Mercenary Alliance, and I have business dealings with most of the companies in the Alliance. This time, though, it may be a bit difficult. ”
"Oh, I don't know what Mr. Fei Jie's so-called difficulty is?" Lin Rui said as he looked at him.
"Our business has been growing over the last year. You know that the world is not peaceful, and the recent situation is even more so, and many regions in Africa and the Middle East need us to provide high-quality mercenary resources. As a result, the resources we currently have are also very strained.
Recently, several large customers have ordered a large number of people from us. They pay double the price, and it's in Africa, so they don't have to go to the Middle East. This made the mercenaries flock to it. Even some young people who have no experience in the military and have never touched a gun want to earn a vote. But even then, we don't have enough people. Fei Jie said helplessly.
"You mean to say that you don't have the resources of soldiers in your hands?" Lin Rui said as he looked at him.
"Yes. I'm afraid we won't be able to help you get together 500 men, and even more than 200 recruits will have a hard time. Fei Jie smiled bitterly. "It's true. So I really can't help you, it's a pity. ”
Lin Rui muttered, "Then is there any other way?"
"If there is ...... other way," Ferger mused, "I could have used our connections to talk to other companies and borrow a group of people from them." But not this time, I've asked a few other companies, and their situation is similar to ours. ”
"In the country of mercenaries, there is a labor shortage. Shogishi sighed and said, "This is really something we didn't expect. But that seems like a coincidence, doesn't it?"
"It's such a coincidence, and you should be familiar with those companies. It's Morningstar Military Corporation, and Rochester Military Resources. The two of them are the big ones, and there are a few other small companies that have taken away all the mercenaries we have in our hands. Fei Jie shook his head.
"It's Joe and Hughes. Jiang An whispered to Lin Rui, "What do you think?"
"What else can you think?" Lin Rui shook his head and said, "This time they are choking our throats." ”
"If you don't mind, we can recruit another batch of recruits, and two or three hundred are still fine. But they are just some recruits who have not received any training. And the price is not low. After all, the current market is there. Fei Jie shrugged.
