84. Preparation for the expedition
Zhang Yi pointed to the Baiga Islands, just outside the middle of the Solomon Islands and the Besmarck Islands, next to the disputed areas of several island nations. This is the battlefield of repeated battles between the United States and the East Hidden Kingdom decades ago, the island is lined with positions, many bomb shelters and bunkers, it was originally a trust area of the United States, and after the surrounding island countries were self-governing, it was occupied by pirates, and the rebels of all the surrounding island countries had dealings with them.
Zhang Yi took a fancy to this place because it was only a thousand nautical miles away from the nuclear bomb island, and Yaxun occupied this place, not only to train mercenaries to be useful, but also to connect Jifei Island, one step closer to East Asia.
Benjamin said with a smile: "We will come to the training camp construction and empty shells, and the exclusive supply of weapons will be forgotten, black iron can come in, and it is best that FE can also come in, and there is an old airfield on it." β
The pirates here are much more rampant than the Somani pirates, and they have been able to interfere in the regimes of the surrounding island countries, but this is the backyard pond of the United States, and warships from other countries are not allowed to escort them.
It is impossible to count on the peacekeepers to fight this pirate base, because there are thousands of pirates on the seven islands, as well as more than 1,000 foreigners serving them. It is the largest force of the surrounding pirates, not only occupying the largest territory, but also a group of volcanic atolls and islands that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The seven islands mentioned by Zhang Yi are only the seven larger islands of this atoll, and there are hundreds of islands in this atoll that are larger than a basketball court, most of which are smaller than a football field, and they are all fortress buildings from the war of the last century.
Weapons dealers and this place are secretly in contact, it is common to lose some weapons when passing by, if Arthur supplies bring Yasen to capture this place, eat alone, this is not good for Arthur, and it is also not good for Yasun.
Let Yalin assist Yaxun and develop this place into a new mercenary city, holding the banner of exterminating pirates and escorting passing ships, and everyone will come to share the food again, which is in line with the balance of interests and the cooperation will be long-lasting.
Zhang Yi doesn't care about a few service providers, he is extremely vicious and grabbing territory, and it is hypocritical to talk about eating, Arthur is willing to balance, obviously let Ya Xun deal with relations with the surrounding countries alone, they eat the big head, and then let others drink soup.
Zhang Yi is very changeable, one step at a time, after having a big goal, he will come up when he sees the opportunity, he has only been interested in this pirate den for more than a year, he was originally going to attack with the help of Qin Feng's fleet, but this time he actually saw the boss behind the scenes of Yalin, and he directly set the framework for cooperation, and the rest was Yalin to come forward to cooperate.
An arms ship passing by the pirate island and anchoring, not only caught the pirates off guard, but the arms ship is directly a supply ship, which can dock at any time to replenish, which makes the operation much less difficult, and with the cooperation of the arms ship, the casualties of Yaxon are much smaller.
After drinking tea, Benjamin took a list of arms and left, a highly classified operation that he personally arranged. Half a year later, he will send Black Eagle to be responsible for liaison and coordination, and after taking the island, Shangdao and Yaxun are still cooperating with Yalin Company, and others will not see the traces of Arthur's involvement. Before leaving, he instructed Mr. Arin to meet all of Yason's demands.
After Yalin led the people to dismantle the four anti-aircraft guns, Ya Xun selected 60 elite combat groups, officially joined the Ya Xun company, and stationed in the fortress, they were divided into six groups to carry out the project of sealing the passage under the comprehensive training ground, and separated the original completely penetrated spider web-like passage into 36 areas around the warehouse, and connected through a tortuous circular passage.
The comprehensive training ground is being renovated, and the mercenary hall has also begun to accept mercenary registration, the mercenary competition is divided into three competitions: single, three-person team and eight-person team, and the contestants need to go to the special training ground for adaptive training for half a month, and the three annual winners of the competition are all one million dollar bonuses.
The comprehensive training ground is divided into thirty-six districts, and these mercenaries will only play in one area, or several districts, because the comprehensive training ground is too big and complicated for them, and if they play the whole game, they are likely to be lost in it for half a month and cannot find the enemy.
At the same time, the coal-fired power plant in the Xingang District also began to operate, and the buildings leased by small service providers entered the renovation period.
The entire Jianyou Company also evacuated the main management personnel and some grassroots employees, and the vast majority of the middle management was poached by Yasun Company with high salaries to manage the hydropower project for Yasun Company.
Different from a large number of villas in the mercenary area, the one-square-kilometer wharf area of the new port area, the rainforest tourist area on both sides of the connection, and the four-square-kilometer commercial living area on the back of the wharf are lined with high-rise buildings, although the sparrows are small, they are all complete, and it is a completely modern port city, most of which are hotels, restaurants and entertainment related to tourists, and more than 100 companies can receive 20,000 tourists.
Further from the living quarters, there is a large field shooting range, which satisfies the fun of shooting all kinds of guns for tourists.
There is a natural river in the middle of the island that has been widened and rectified to separate the mercenary area and the tourist area of Yasun Island, and the middle is connected by a covered bridge building, after crossing the covered bridge, one side of the main road is a special training camp for the mercenary area, and one side is a comprehensive training ground.
For a time, the two ports on Yasun Island were bustling, and nearly 3,000 renovation workers poured into the new port area to decorate the interior of these buildings. More than 800 mercenaries participated in the adaptation training of the special training camp, and they were very interested in entering the comprehensive training competition, because Yaxun Company said: "Mercenaries who cannot pass the assessment of the comprehensive training ground can go home to retire." β
Just when Yasun Island was in full swing, Zhang Yi called his old friend Joya, and then quietly flew to Jifei to have a secret conversation with Joya.
In the past few years, Qiao Ya has developed rapidly, mastering an intelligence organization of more than 80 people, and becoming a new generation of forces in the Prime Minister's Office, but it has also reached a bottleneck in development.
Several military bigwigs who supported the prime minister in power at the beginning controlled tens of thousands of descendants, and there was also the shadow of foreign capital behind them, and even the prime minister had to take care of them, not to mention Joya, the intelligence agency of the prime minister's office.
With the support of foreign capital, these bigwigs stretched out their hands longer and longer, trying to seek a greater right to speak. There is still a year left in the new election, and there are already two ready to run for ****.
Zhang Yi wants to attack the pirate camp, he wants to come to Jifei to borrow troops, attack the pirate base, there are more than 100 elites is enough, and some ordinary soldiers are needed to maintain order, so he thought of Qiao Ya, but Qiao Ya couldn't get ordinary soldiers here, Zhang Yi had to help him get soldiers first.
Of course, this is not too difficult, after listening to his complaints, Zhang Yi asked him: "The purpose of these people is to compete for greater interests for foreign capital, so there is nothing illegal and undisciplined?"
Qiao Ya laughed and said: "What is breaking the law and discipline, it can be said that the food is ugly, for the sake of the capital behind, I don't want to be cheeky, and I should be killed several times if I am caught." β
Zhang Yi looked at him carefully, and saw that he was embarrassed, so he said: "Since you have evidence, catch them, and deal with them directly in accordance with the laws of the country, is it so difficult?"
Joya shook his head and said: "The prime minister's power is only slightly greater than them, if they are united, it will be much greater than the prime minister's power, and the prime minister will definitely not want to cause a civil war for the sake of stability, because there are still a few independent candidates waiting for these people on the stage to have civil strife." β
Prime Minister Jifi came to power in a coup d'Γ©tat, and after the fact, he was elected by the people, in order to develop the country's people's livelihood and weaken foreign capital control, and made a lot of reforms, which inevitably made many foreign consortia unhappy, so they supported agents and wanted to replace them.
These military bigwigs who have come to the fore are just blocking the prime minister, and if they really want to cause turmoil, foreign capital will be able to get up and down and launch real agents.
This is what Joya feels uncomfortable with, they don't dare to do it, but if they don't do it, they will lose the hearts of the people and let the people who are ambushed on the side benefit. These people can attack the various wrongs of the current regime, put forward a campaign platform that is more in line with the will of the people, and smoothly take over power from the prime minister through elections.
Zhang Yi has been paying attention to this place, and has long analyzed their situation, and said directly to Qiao Ya: "You are embarrassed because you don't have the ability to hold those big guys." I have a relationship, I can help you introduce a few teams of mercenary groups, help you arrest a few people and their right-hand man, let your stepfather directly interrogate them in accordance with the law, quickly correct the criminal code, and then directly launch several measures to develop the country's people's livelihood, with a bigger step, so that the people can directly see the benefits.
Several of the leaders were killed, and their soldiers were all from the lower classes, and they could soon be won over. You use corruption to punish lawbreakers, list the evidence of their crimes one by one, and foreign capital can only look at it, even if you are punished, don't be afraid, as long as the people stand with you. I also have a little business relationship, and I have a little money, so I can contribute when it matters. β
Then he helped him list them one by one, and even helped them think about how to reorganize the government and introduce those measures to benefit the people.
Qiao Ya was afraid that she wouldn't be able to remember, so after writing down one by one, she was very excited and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go and report to my father-in-law." β
Zhang Yi also left quietly, in order to borrow troops, he actually proposed a package plan to help Jifei clean up the bureaucratic system, and then carry out reforms, and he had to deal with the aftermath.
