Chapter 521: Mercenaries

Blue Mercury, Xinghua Island, the study of the villa.

When he came back from the Xinghua Empire in another world, Yi Xingchen immediately received a report from James, and the efficiency was so high that even Yi Xingchen couldn't help but be surprised. After being satisfied, he took advantage of the heat to study James's report with James in the study, accompanied by Yan En and Liu Yiyi, who had been following Yi Xingchen.

James submitted a total of three reports.

The first survey report is about the ranking of mercenaries of the Blue Mercury International Mercenaries and the combat characteristics of the mercenaries;

The second report is about the nationality of mercenary servicemen and the suspected background check reports related to them;

The final report was on the main locations of the mercenaries' activities and their recent mission investigations.

James's reports cover a very comprehensive scope and already contain the main information related to mercenaries, so after reading the general classification of key points, Yi Xingchen became more serious and careful, and began to read the three investigation reports one by one. And James also stood quietly aside, waiting for Yi Xingchen to finish reading, or ask any questions in order to explain.

James was full of confidence in the three reports he obtained after collecting intelligence with his heart, and he was able to satisfy Yi Xingchen. However, he soon found that the look on Yi Xingchen's face, from the initial satisfaction, gradually became a little cloudy, which made James feel a little uneasy.

Especially when Yi Xingchen finished reading the first report and carefully read the second report, the report on the background of mercenaries.

"The dragon hunting mercenary, the first in the international rankings, has more than 500 members, mainly accepts governments and issues various bonus tasks. Including the assassination of the military head of the enemy country. Assist in attacks, maintain law and order in occupied territories, raid drug lord dens, and more. The main battle for fame is to raid the drug cultivation nest in South America, burn down a plantation, and annihilate the armed forces of drug traffickers. Offensive index: 98 Defense index: 70. Background check: Suspected U.S. arms dealers are behind it. ”

"Flying Eagle mercenaries. It is second in the international rankings, with more than 500 members, mainly accepting major forces from various countries and performing various garrison tasks in war-torn countries. Battle for Fame: Perfectly complete the mercenary of a North African country, hold a city for a month, and repel the attack of 3,000 rebels. Background check, suspected of having the military background of the Miqi country. ”

"White Bear Mercenaries...... Suspected Soviet background. ”

"Scorpio Mercenary...... It is suspected that the background of the Middle East is Israeli. ”

Indeed, the report lists in great detail the main mercenaries of the Blue Mercury countries and the supporting forces behind them. But it was precisely because he saw that these mercenaries actually had extraordinary backgrounds that Yi Xingchen frowned.

Yi Xingchen asked James with dissatisfaction: "Since these mercenaries have deep backgrounds, then these materials are basically useless, and it is impossible for the empire to hire these mercenary groups with the background of the Blue Mercury country." ”

James thought that Yi Xingchen would hold him accountable immediately, and his expression couldn't help but be a little flustered, but he still explained to Yi Xingchen head-on: "This is the information of international mercenaries, and most of the mercenaries have the official background of their corresponding countries. Some large countries will not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to support mercenaries of comparable strength elsewhere.

Even. There are also some large countries that send their active military personnel, form mercenaries, and then send them to a small country to meet some of their political needs - their mercenaries will be independent of the government of the small country, and will not be controlled by the government of the small country, but will in turn affect the local activities of the small country. Indirectly seek opportunities to intervene in the internal affairs of small countries. If it succeeds, it will gain benefits, and if it fails, it will not lose its international reputation. Therefore, the well-known mercenaries on Blue Mercury will basically have quite a background. ”

Yi Xingchen saw that James's expression changed. He gradually slowed down his tone, in fact, he didn't mean to blame James for being ineffective, because James also collected information according to his request. It's just that none of the information on these mercenaries collected at hand can be used by him, so he needs James to be more aware of his ultimate intentions, so he said: "The empire needs an elite mercenary army to hunt down a fierce beast, and it also needs a garrison to maintain the empire's stronghold in the land of the hundred barbarians." And these involve a lot of secrets that cannot be divulged. So, what I need is, private mercenaries without the official background of Blue Mercury. Do you have any suggestions?"

Seeing that Yi Xingchen's face slowed down and he didn't say anything to blame, James finally calmed down. After thinking about it, James put forward his opinion: "The three mercenaries of the fire dragon, the thunder dragon, and the tiger are relatively qualified. According to the preliminary understanding, the composition of these three mercenaries is the most complicated, because most of their members are from all over the world, and most of them are retired soldiers, not active military personnel from a single source, and there is no possibility of dependence on any one country. The main scope of activities of these three mercenaries is also different, with the Fire Dragons operating mainly in Asia, while the Smith and Tiger mercenaries are mainly operating in Africa. ”

"Which mercenary army has a better reputation for military discipline, and which mercenary army has stronger combat effectiveness?" Yi Xingchen said.

"If you want to talk about the reputation of military discipline, it should be the fire dragon mercenary. They are notorious for not harassing innocent civilians during their missions. As for combat effectiveness, the strength of the LTTE mercenaries is relatively mature, even compared with the regular armies of some countries. James replied.

After listening to James's analysis quietly, Yi Xingchen thought about it and made a decision: "Then send a message to the Fire Dragon Mercenary and the Tiger Mercenary respectively, informing them that there is a mission that needs to be kept secret." If you agree to receive it, the employment price can be doubled. If twice doesn't work, then three, four, and you can pay half the price upfront. James, you are solely responsible for talking about this matter, and what I just said is my attitude and requirements. ”

Yi Xingchen deliberately made it clear, just to tell James that he didn't need to feel too constrained when he went to negotiate with these mercenaries.

After a pause, Yi Xingchen continued: "By the way, James, you also sent a message to those mercenaries with good reputations, such as the Thunder Dragon Mercenaries and the War Eagle Mercenaries, asking them if they accept secret missions. Limited to 10 mercenaries. You pick. If they accept Xinghua Island's secrecy conditions, then let their person in charge send someone to Xinghua Island to talk in detail. ”

James nodded and said, "Yes, I see." ”

"The leader of these mercenaries has arrived on Xinghua Island, you will inform me again. I'll send someone to talk to them when the time comes. Yi Xingchen said.

James took the order and left respectfully.

After James left the study, Liu Yiyi, who had been standing aside and quietly listening to the conversation between the two, but didn't want to affect Yi Xingchen's decision, said the worry in his heart, wanting to remind Yi Xingchen to think twice: "Do you really want to be a mercenary on Blue Mercury?" Their combat effectiveness is very strong, but at the same time, the destructive power will also be very strong. Unless they are willing to use us, I am afraid that we need to beware that these mercenaries may turn against the Xinghua Empire. To know. If this mercenary really turns against the Xinghua Empire and betrays the Xinghua Empire, it is likely to have an immeasurable impact on us. The risk is so big, do you need to think about it carefully?"

Yi Xingchen looked at Liu Yiyi, smiled slightly, calmed her emotions, and explained: "I won't hire too many mercenaries, and. Even if you make a deal with them, you will definitely be sure that they will be closely monitored. Feel relieved. I'll pay attention to these. ”

Liu Yiyi nodded when she heard this, and then she calmed down.

"By the way, Yan, you should also follow up on the mercenary matter, and keep James informed of the relevant progress. Note that this needs to be done in secrecy, and no one needs to meddle except you and James. Yi Xingchen thought about it, turned to Yan En again, and added.

The head of the guard, Yan En, nodded yes. That's when it happened. There was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

Yan En immediately walked over and opened the door. The outsider was another of his personal guards, Song Eun.

Song En walked into the study quickly, saluted Yi Xingchen, and then reported: "Your Majesty, there are some tourists on Xinghua Island who are launching a parade on the island at this time, and the main appeal is that they want to be able to buy the spiritual space ring. ”

This situation was unexpected by Yi Xingchen, which made Yi Xingchen suddenly frown.

However, the nature of this situation is not yet certain. If the situation is still relatively optimistic, it should be a strong demand from some supporters who want to have a spiritual space ring, and gather to initiate a strong request, then this is easier to do, as long as their emotions are appeased, the matter is over, but if the situation is not too optimistic, it may be involved, behind these people, I am afraid there are some ill-intentioned intentions.

Yi Xingchen asked, "Does it have a big impact?"

"There are about a dozen people in number, and their main actions now are marching back and forth on the main street of Xinghua Island with signs, and people taking pictures with their mobile phones, etc. To a certain extent, it affected the normal life order of the people, but fortunately it did not cause uncontrollable riots. Song Eun replied.

Hearing this, Yi Xingchen's eyebrows finally relaxed, which proved that the situation was quite optimistic. Therefore, he turned to Liu Yiyi and said gently, "That shouldn't be a trouble." My dear, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Liu Yiyi smiled, smiled confidently at Yi Xingchen, and said, "I know what to do." ”

The spiritual space ring is limited, and it is understandable that people who can't buy the space ring have this kind of gathering and making trouble. However, this does not mean that Yi Xingchen is obliged to meet these additional requirements because of this, so of course, Yi Xingchen will not change the way and restrictions on the sale of the spiritual space ring.

It's just that if these tourists make trouble, it will mainly affect the image of Xinghua Island, not Xinghua Mall. If the tourists insist on making trouble, the Xinghua Island government will expel them.

Liu Yiyi naturally understood what Yi Xingchen meant, and tourists marched at will without the approval of the government, which also violated the laws of Xinghua Island. As Xinghua Island continues to open up, so will the number of tourists. It just so happens that the government of Xinghua Island wants to tell these tourists that Xinghua Island is not only a tourist area, but also a sovereign country. Although they are guests on Xinghua Island, they are still subject to the laws of Xinghua Island.

Yi Xingchen handed over the matter to Liu Yiyi and decided to rest in the study for a while.

Seeing this, Yan En, Song En and the others did not dare to disturb Yi Xingchen's rest, and left the study carefully.

Tourists on Xinghua Island demonstrated, which she thought was a very interesting thing for Liu Yiyi.

If it weren't for Yi Xingchen's hope to solve it as soon as possible, Liu Yiyi might have thought about ordering a cup of cold coffee in the beverage shop, enjoying it while enjoying it.

It's a pity that Liu Yiyi is the president, and she represents Xinghua Island, so she naturally doesn't want to see any bad behavior for Xinghua Island.

Liu Yiyi instructed her secretary to bring a drink for herself, and then chose to be on the second floor of a private house to pay attention to the development of things.

"President, we are all ready, please instruct!" said Wu Chen, the chief of the Xinghua Island Police Department, standing respectfully in front of Liu Yiyi. Wu Chen was an early police officer on Xinghua Island, and because of his excellent performance, he was just promoted to the chief of the bureau. This is the first group incident he has encountered since he took office, and Wu Chen is eager to show his ability in front of the president.

"My opinion is that everything should be done in accordance with the law, and we cannot be discredited on Xinghua Island. Liu Yiyi said.

Wu Chen nodded and left.

After a while, Liu Yiyi saw Wu Chen arrive at the scene with six policemen, accompanied by the host and photographer of Xinghua Island TV Station.

At this time, about seventeen or eighteen tourists, holding signs, happened to stay at Xinghua Island Square.

"We are the police of Xinghua Island, and you have violated the law of Xinghua Island, Article 121, by conducting illegal demonstrations and processions without the approval of the government, affecting social order. and Article 138, which deliberately blocks traffic and affects the normal travel of citizens. Given that you are tourists, give you a chance. I have read the letter of the law, and now I formally ask you to dissolve and not to continue to violate the laws of our country, or I will arrest you in accordance with the duties entrusted to me by the State. Wu Chen said righteously.

"Hello, Mr. Officer. We just wanted to express our desire to buy a spirit space ring. I don't think we hurt anyone, the march is legal. Moreover, there are so many spiritual space rings in the Xinghua Island Experience Hall, why don't you take them out and sell them to us?" a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up and said to Wu Chen.

Most of the demonstrators were young people between the ages of 20 and 40, who were well dressed and from good family backgrounds. If you can afford a spiritual space ring, you must be from a wealthy family. Obviously, they live a prosperous life in their respective countries, and they are not afraid of the police at all, and they want the Xinghua police to put pressure on the Xinghua government to relay their opinions.
