Not far from a buzzing air conditioner, on a large mahogany table, an officer in military uniform was signing a letter of cooperation, and across from him sat a young man who looked a little thin and slightly dark, this person was really Lin Quan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lin, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

The officer is a second-class non-commissioned officer in this group of mercenaries, the French mercenaries sound like mercenaries in their names, but in fact their people should be called the French Foreign Legion, their nature is the regular French army, but the members are not French natives, including soldiers from all over the world can participate, and their treatment is not worse than the average French army, in a sense, these soldiers are treated more favorably.

Zhao Cheng had revealed his income for a year, his income is military salary plus subsidy, military salary is 3400 euros a month, and the subsidy adds up to almost 2000 euros, which adds up to 5000 euros, at this time the euro is depreciating, but even if it is depreciated, this amount of money is not small, converted into RMB about 40000 yuan, but since 2011, the yuan has begun to become stronger and stronger, and the euro is getting weaker and weaker, so the attractiveness of the French Foreign Legion has gradually decreased。

Tens of thousands of dollars a month, this money is not small, but they do dirty work, even life-selling work, some French people are reluctant to send their own soldiers to do the work, such as Haitian peacekeeping, the most famous here is mosquitoes and riots, peacekeepers have casualties almost every day, and they are even disabled in the Gulf War and the Iraq War, recently I heard that they are gathering in North Africa, they want to do something to Libya in the north.

(The background of the era has not been explained, the era when the story began in 2010, and this year is 2011.) ）

"I'm also very happy to be able to cooperate with your army, with your army sitting here, the safety of our side will be guaranteed!"

Lin Quan was polite, and Zhao Cheng was acting as a translator on the side, but he obviously didn't want to say too much, so Lin Quan said long words, and he said short words, Lin Quan guessed that he probably didn't translate all of them, so he didn't say too much, and after being polite to the second-level non-commissioned officer chief, he left.

The food needs of this small army are not particularly large, about 150 kilograms of vegetables are needed every day, there are no special requirements in terms of types, they obviously also know that in this desert area, it is already very good to be able to eat fresh vegetables, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport them from Niamey in the south, and the cost is not low, the key is that these vegetables are seriously dehydrated on the way, and they are not very tasty after being delivered.

However, Lin Quan's farm is relatively close to their camp, and he is Zhao Cheng's fellow villager, so they also sell personal favors along the river, which can be regarded as solving their urgent needs and giving Zhao Cheng face.

Coming out of the officer, Lin Quan found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the barracks, he had no experience in the army, he couldn't see anything, he just felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to stay too much in the barracks, after all, he was not a military personnel, it was inconvenient here, but in the only café outside the barracks, Zhao Cheng still solved his doubts.

"The north is going to make a move, Libya is fighting!"

Zhao Cheng ordered a hamburger, and then ordered a cola for Lin Quan, although it is called a coffee shop, but in fact, it sells more miscellaneous things, this is a café opened by the French military, it is the only place for the soldiers to go after leaving the camp, Agadez is too far away, and too dilapidated, except to go to a nightclub, to solve the physiological needs, most of them will not go, and Niamey is far away, six or seven hundred kilometers is not a joke, it takes a day to come, there is no time to play.

Traveling on business in Africa is a very boring thing, not to mention the harsh environment here, the conditions are not good, and you must be ready to fight at any time, after all, the tribal militants and horse thieves here still cannot be ignored.

In addition, there is a lack of entertainment facilities here, except for the Internet, there is sports, but there is nothing on the basketball court and volleyball court, and only indoor sports are left, so sports such as billiards and table tennis, which are not too space-consuming, are more popular.

And there are two billiard rooms in the café where Zhao Cheng and Lin Quan are located, and a group of people are noisy inside, some are playing cards, some are playing ball, and it sounds very lively.

But the excitement inside did not attract Lin Quan's attention, because he was attracted by Zhao Cheng's words.

Libya is at war, he knows this, on February 17, the Libyan government army and the rebels began to exchange fire, this is what he learned through the Internet, if he is still in the country at this time, he will only look at such news, and then he will not pay attention to it, after all, Africa is too far away from him, and he doesn't need to worry about things there at all.

But at the moment, others are in Africa, and Niger and Libya are neighboring countries, there is a war in the north, and the country in the south is also very tense, and there are obviously more military vehicles on Highway 11 recently, and government troops in armored vehicles are patrolling the road, saying that it is to fight horse thieves and maintain peace on the road, but in fact it may also be related to this matter, Libya's population is only 6.5 million, which is much less than Niger, less than half of Niger, but the country's army is much stronger.

Libya is located on the Mediterranean coast, except for some areas near the sea, the rest of the southern region is almost all desert, but the country is also rich in oil, plus close to the Mediterranean, convenient transportation, so this country is very rich, petrodollars are not a joke.

In 2011, the international oil price hovered at 120 US dollars per barrel, Libya's oil production was about 1.6 million barrels per day, most of which were exported, accounting for a large proportion in the international market, and the annual oil alone could earn more than 50 billion US dollars, so its national economy is very developed, the infrastructure and economy are second to none in Africa, and the education penetration rate is also very good, the only bad thing is that the country is not a "democratic/master" country!

Under the influence of the color revolution and the Arab Spring, they immediately became a tool in the hands of Westerners and began to sing against Gaddafi, so Gaddafi, who had a strong army, immediately ordered the army to march towards Benghazi, the base camp of the rebels, to raze the young people in one fell swoop.

Lao Ka is also a generation of heroes in Africa, once with Egypt's Egyptian Nasser together to plan the establishment of the Great United Arab Empire, the result scared the Egyptians, he held a large amount of oil dollars in his hands, the army was armed to the teeth, how could he be afraid of some militants who only had bazookas and AK rifles in their hands, so he sent his own armored troops to advance into Benghazi, but how did he know that his move happened to fall into the hands of Lao Mei, and the French were the most active.
