19. Containment pattern
The name of the new weapons dealer is Yalin Company, and the next day after Zhang Yi said harsh words to Mike, the representative of Yalin Company went to the mercenary hall and signed a contract with Yaxun Company. On the day they came, Zhang Yi pointed out a piece of land for them to build a warehouse for themselves.
Zhang Yi will not leave until they can take root, and during their construction, if the black iron does not conflict with them, after they officially open, there will be no more conflicts, and they will not fight here.
Because according to Joyas's rules, the service provider only has a maximum of twenty employees stationed here, and no more than fifty mercenary group members can be stationed here.
The name of Yaxun's company has not changed, and Zhang Yi also said that the rules are still the same, because Joyas has set this kind of rules, mainly for service providers, because the fortress guards are just forty-nine, plus their shareholders, a total of fifty-six, and he doesn't want others to sit here.
Here are more loner mercenaries, who like to receive assassination missions, and when the website is closed, they are the most anxious people.
Combat mercenary groups, generally five to fifteen people, they are elite, they make the most money, they like tribal tasks, they are all those tribes with mineral deposits, if you want to hold it, you have to have mercenaries to help, because the neighbors who come to rob their mineral deposits will also hire mercenaries to rob them.
If these people are still willing to join forces after they get rich, they will have their own bases, because they have too many belongings and it is not safe to put them here.
If you want to be bigger, with more than 50 members, it is no longer called a mercenary group, it is generally called a military service provider, and even if you come here, you will only send people to build a training camp and look for a source of reserve soldiers. This model tree is very popular, and it needs to have a very hard relationship, otherwise it is a death-seeking behavior.
The Greyhound Mercenary Group is actually a garbage mercenary group for warmth, they go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, and it is not cost-effective, because the elite five can do a good job, they can't do it with twenty mercenaries, they can only do some work to take care of the home and escort with the ship, because they don't have the money to build their own base, they shrink back in the mercenary city to grab the work, and the limit of fifty mercenaries is aimed at them, lest they become big here, after all, there are many ants to bite and kill elephants.
Joyas set these rules in order to protect himself, the mercenaries come here to take orders, they provide a platform for free, no rakes, the employer and the mercenaries can talk directly, and the employers do not want to expose the need to leave money, and they pay the mercenaries.
Yaxun's company earns rent, and small service providers want to come here to open shops, and the mercenary city has a house to rent to them, and they can also help them decorate it and pay the rent. This is a pension arrangement for mercenaries who are reluctant to take on any more tasks, training camps, bars, casinos and restaurants, etc., all to earn some hard-earned money.
Of course, the big service providers will not ask for the houses in the mercenary city, they all designate a piece of land by Joyas, let them build it themselves, and the houses in the land are as many as you want, but the height is limited, and it is definitely not possible to look down on the fortress, just pay the land rent.
The distance from the port to the fortress is two kilometers, there is no building in the middle, a hundred meters in front of the fortress, there is a very wide road leading in, on the other side of the road is the building of the big service provider, three hundred meters away from the fortress, the middle of the road is the lawn, there is no obstruction, the fortress and the service provider can block this road, and keep a safe distance from each other.
The service providers are all independent courtyards, T-shaped two-story concrete buildings inside the square wall, the horizontal row is the sales façade and dormitory, the vertical row is the warehouse, and their internal situation is not visible inside the fortress.
The fortress and they watched each other, and they cooperated with each other to form a containment. The location that Zhang Yi pointed out to the new weapons dealer was to go along the innermost part of the other weapons dealers' buildings, also along the main road.
Zhang Yi's arrangement looks very casual, and it also conforms to the rules of service providers together, but in this way, Yalin and Black Iron have become two horns of the fortress, and they are sandwiched between other service providers, all of whom are under the fire of the fortress.
If the islanders want to attack the fortress, they must be caught by the guards inside the large service provider building, and if outsiders want to attack from the port, they must first pass the fortress and all the service provider guards.
Then inside is the business area of small service providers, also divided on both sides of the highway, all are separate single-family villas, the arrangement is not neat, the road is intricate, the villas are surrounded by greenery, so that they can conceal the defense, there is still a large open space behind the two villa areas, you can build villas at any time, open shops for new small service providers, there is a special construction service provider office on the island, when you need to build, the personnel will come from Manausi.
Further inside, there are scattered villas, all with large open spaces, which can be a rest place for mercenary groups or training camps. If you continue to go inside, there is a large no-man's land.
Black Iron was originally a separate weapon dealer, for convenience, the warehouse was built closest to the port, which was very easy to defend, and it was the farthest away from the mercenary life and entertainment area, and the location of the new weapon dealer designated by Zhang Yi was the closest to the mercenary life entertainment circle, and the distance between the two courtyards was more than 500 meters, from the perspective of doing business, it was obviously superior to Black Iron.
Yalin company is not famous, the guards who come are very mixed, the weapons they carry are mainly AK series, the origin is Slavic and Yuxia, the weapons they operate are also of this series, the price of weapons is cheaper than black iron, but the price of bullets is about the same.
Most of the mercenaries here are weapons sold by Black Iron, as long as they don't change their weapons, bullets generally have to be supplied by Black Iron, but the decline in Black Iron's business here is inevitable, because Zhang Yi actually wants to match the new mercenaries in the training camp with guns, and the firearms have been set as the firearms of Yalin Company. In fact, many mercenaries like the AK series, because in the rainforest and jungle, this weapon is safer.
Yalin company is prepared, the contract is signed, there is a ship to fold the iron frame, after unfolding, it is a one-meter square iron container, hire the construction team of the excavator to fill in the soil to build a good base, one day around the ground to make a two-meter-high fence, the four corners also set up a defensive post. On the second day, the gate is directly opposite the position, and the prefabricated house is built, and on the third day, the goods are put into business.
Then the construction team was invited to enter, enter through the side door into the partitioned wall, and build their formal building, they did not have exceptions and walked alone, it was also the T-shaped style, they opened the door to do business, simple and practical.
The city of mercenaries is only the name of the mercenary circle, the full name of this island is the Yasun Agricultural Research and Aquatic Ecotourism Company, the black iron company in Manaus is called the Black Rose Iron Manufacturing Company, the business project is the wrought iron railing, the warehouse is full of wrought iron railings, the black iron was made of wrought iron railings a hundred years ago, so many years of development and growth, has not lost this craft, their weapons with the wrought iron railing into the world.
The name of the black iron service provider in the mercenary city is the Clover Metal Tourist Art Sales Company, and the business scope is the small metal crafts in the name. Yalin Company is also a type of tourism service, and its business scope is the sale of rattan art, which is quite similar to the tourist island of Yasen, and it is difficult for outsiders to imagine that they are weapons dealers.
Selling weapons depends on relationships, and it doesn't matter what the name is, as long as the insiders know. Zhang Yi turned his face as soon as he disagreed, and seized the opportunity to increase the number of weapon dealers, of course, the Black Iron Company thought that the weapon dealers behind Yalin were the backers of Zhang Yi and others, snatching the fortress to control the mercenary city, and the purpose was to grab food on the black iron territory.
Now that the Arin Company has come in and quickly gained a foothold, if there was no one in ambush at that time, Mike and they must not believe it, since they did not dare to fight at that time, they can only wait for the opportunity slowly.
After their boss finally found out the background of Yalin's company, they had to pinch their noses and stop and tell them to do business according to the rules in the mercenary city, and the suppression and conflict were both lose-lose, because Zhang Yi scared Mike of what he said, the group behind Yalin could do it casually, and it could really spread the war to the feet of the black iron boss.
The background behind Yalin is very complicated, several shareholders are Asian-European mixed-race, started from the sale of Slavic weapons more than 20 years ago, and has cooperation with many countries in the sale of weapons, and is already a predator in the arms market, and is one of the competitors of Black Iron.
After finding out Arlin's background, Black Iron's attention turned directly to competing with the new weapons dealer, no longer paying attention to who was in the fortress. In their view, it is not what is visible that should be restricted, but what is not seen.
What can really be fought in the fortress must be the elite troops of the new weapons dealer, hiring so many mercenaries just to withdraw the elites, and now these elites may be in Manaus, aiming at many companies in Black Iron, and they will not evacuate until the forces of the Yalin Company are deployed in the mercenary city.
Because at that time, the mercenary group in the city did not dare to defect casually, and it was impossible for Black Iron to subvert the fortress again.
