Chapter 197: Thomson, the Englishman

With the help of Bai Ge, the first batch of recruited soldiers finally arrived, a total of thirty people, and they were led by a black man named "Thomson".

"Thomson, by this name, you shouldn't have been born in Africa, right?"

After meeting with thirty people, Zhang Ran called the team leader Thomson into the office and talked alone.

The dark-skinned Thomson has a typical curly hair, which has been constructed to form a natural insulating layer that is densely attached to the scalp. In addition to his skin color and hair, Thomson's facial features have obvious European features, such as a tall nose bridge.

"I was born in England, sir."

Indeed, Thomson's English has a strong London flavor, and even the way he speaks reflects this. Zhang Ran smiled slightly, beckoned Thomson to sit down, and then continued:

"You were recruited to defend against a possible battle, and I suppose your liaison should have explained the situation to you? Whoever is able to observe the discipline of the camp will be paid eight thousand euros per month each, and as for you, Thomson, you are paid three times as much as theirs, do you know? ”

Thomson nodded, "Yes, sir, I know very well. ”

"Very good, I just like a soldier like you, what position did you achieve when you were in the army?"

"Huh?"

was slightly stunned by Zhang Ran's question, Thomson's eyes were slightly straight, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Don't hide it, although I haven't read your information, it doesn't mean that I can't judge by your words and deeds, not only have you participated in the regular army, if I'm not mistaken, you should still be that kind of elite army, right?"

"Yes." After hesitating for a moment, Thomson seemed to have made up his mind not to hide it anymore, and replied truthfully: "I joined the army in the United Kingdom, and then I was court-martialed for assaulting a superior officer, and after two years of imprisonment, I was released last year. ”

"Then you've done it the most"

"Lieutenant, sir!"

"Good!" Zhang Ran nodded, got up and walked to Thomson's side, and patted him on the shoulder, "Very good, Lieutenant Thomson, from now on, the entire camp is your defense area, and your direct superior is Lao Dao, the one who is not very convenient to move, and the taciturn guy, and his adjutant is Major Sava, you will know them when you look back, the first thing you have to do is to restrain the twenty-nine people under you, answer me, can you do it?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Thomson stood up and replied loudly. This kind of behavior made Zhang Ran very satisfied, turned back to his position and said: "Okay, you go and arrange the people first, your food and accommodation in the camp are all in charge of Major Kuaishou, don't offend him, he is also the medical officer of the camp, of course, if he wants to clean you up, I personally suggest that you be honest, don't do anything to him, otherwise I won't protect you, hear clearly, I won't protect, you!" ”

In order to make these new thirty people behave properly, Zhang Ran had to put a military rank on each member of the Saber Mercenary Group, he positioned himself in the position of colonel, Wuying was a lieutenant colonel, and as for the others, at least a captain, such as Li Ziqiang and others.

Because Thomson was a soldier, it was easier for Zhang Ran to communicate with him in this way, and before letting Thomson leave, Zhang Ran also told him that he would be issued weapons to them soon.

"Bai Ge, why didn't you tell me that one of them was a professional soldier? If I'm not mistaken, this guy is not from the ordinary army, you should hurry up and check, I don't want MI5, or some other person from the Operations Department, to stuff people into my barracks. ”

Zhang Ran, who ostensibly put his heart on Thomson, is actually very careful, after all, with the arrival of more and more Chinese workers, it means that this camp is becoming more and more easy to become the target of other forces, Lao Zheng said very clearly, the country wants to build a military port for supplies in Libreville, and the Gabon government is also very clear, they can only guarantee not to interfere with the operation of this port, but the safety of the port needs to be the responsibility of the Chinese themselves.

Neither the European Union, nor the United States, nor the United Nations will agree that China's long-term military presence in Africa will become a real presence, and if the Gabon government is not responsible for the defense of the military port, then China will have to find another way to ensure the safety of the port.

Spending money to hire mercenaries is a good idea, but neither Zhang Ran nor Lao Zheng will think that it is possible for the two sides to cooperate in this matter, after all, the mercenary fee of the Saber mercenary group is too expensive, and even the rich government will not hire such an elite and expensive mercenary as a guard.

But at present, Lao Zheng can only contact the Saber Mercenary Group, and in the end, the result of his discussion with Zhang Ran is to let the Saber Mercenary Group become a coach and support force, and the defense of the port is handed over to the local soldiers trained by the Saber Mercenary Group.

Of course, since it is the Chinese's own port, important positions and management classes will all use Chinese, and as for their status, they will definitely "not" be active duty soldiers.

"Don't worry, boss, I know the details of this guy Thomson, it can't be those intelligence agencies, and the two sides have never had any contact. Well, he is actually a quasi-SBS member, but before he could get in, he was sent to prison for beating a superior officer, alas, this is the problem of reincarnation, I judge from his information, if he has snow-white skin, then fighting has become a reason for his promotion, and now he is at least a major. ”

"Do you want to make yourself snow-white too? When can I talk to Xinyi on the phone? ”

"Ahem, boss, Chen Xinyi is fine, according to her attending doctor, she will definitely be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning, if you want to contact her, you can do so at any time, but it's already night, so"

There is a huge time difference between the two places, Zhang Ran forgot about it just now, and after Bai Ge reminded him, Zhang Ran came back to his senses.

"Okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow, by the way, what about the gear I want?"

"Oh, those things Nonoyav is already preparing, this old boy does have some energy, head, we haven't dealt with him for two or three years, and he is now in control of the underground arms trade in half of Africa, and he can really be regarded as a tycoon!"

For Nonoyav's development, Bai Ge seems to be a little envious, but Bai Gezhi is not here, if he really has the desire to control power, with his reputation in the hacker world, as long as he stands up and shouts back then, he will form an alliance casually, I am afraid that the climate will not lose to Nonoyav now.

It's just that if Bai Ge really wants to do that, I'm afraid he will go crazy himself.

"Nonoyav is an old friend of ours, and it stands to reason that if he develops well, it will also be of great help to us, but you have to keep an eye on him lately, God's guys, I don't believe they even bring bullets with them."

No matter how busy Zhang Ran is, he will never forget the imminent enemy, especially the unscrupulous guy like the God Mercenary Group to achieve his goals, since Nonoyav has basically controlled the bulk arms trade in half of Africa, then, as Zhang Ran said, the God Mercenary Group may also purchase arms from Nonoyav's hands.

Zhang Ran did not expect that the relationship between the two parties could affect this kind of transaction. Nonoyav is the standard arms dealer, peace is his worst enemy, bullets are only consumed when they pass through the firing pin, and only when the buyer consumes the arms, Nonoyav can earn him a fancy bill.

"Don't worry, I've handed over this matter to An An to deal with, the girl is careful, unless Nonoyav doesn't deal with that group of hooligans, An An will definitely find out immediately."

Since Bai Ge had already made arrangements, Zhang Ran stopped discussing this issue with him, he stopped the call with Bai Ge, turned around and was about to go out, but saw Wuying standing at the door.

"I've got news of Mona and the others!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Ran was almost stunned for a second before he reacted. "Mona? Oh, how? ”

did not ask about the source of the news, because Zhang Ran knew that the current Wuying was no longer the little girl who had just debuted and needed his protection, and three years of hard work in the Blood Rose Mercenary Group had already given Wuying the strength to take charge of himself.

"Someone in the Lobito neighborhood of Angola has seen Mona."

"See? Is he free? ”

"No, it's in the mines, Mona and they were sent to the mines!"

Even in this situation, Wuying was still able to keep her calm, she took out the tablet she was carrying, opened and closed her fingers to zoom in on Lobito's map, and pointed to Zhang Ran, "I have checked, this area has long been purchased by foreign mining companies, because it is a diamond mine, so no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave, and there is a strict security and surveillance system." ”

Hearing Wuying say this, Zhang Ran instinctively frowned, "Since there is a tight defense and outsiders are not allowed to enter or exit, how was Mona discovered?" ”

"Although outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit at will, it doesn't mean that they don't need to purchase supplies, you know, Westerners always regard themselves as the gods of Africa, God doesn't need to do it himself, they hire some local people as coolies, whether it is the delivery of goods, the purchase of daily necessities, and even when the people inside need women, they will let others send them in, of course, they must be people who have been dealing with them for a long time, familiar and trustworthy."

"And then, one of your informants in Angola is free to come and go, and he happens to see Mona?"

Zhang Ran said this, although he was smiling, but in the ears of Wuying, the taste was not so right.

"You mean to say?"

"I mean, there can't be so many coincidences in these things, and it seems to me that the message is not so much a coincidence, but rather that some people finally know that hard-hitting can't solve us, so they're starting to play tricks."
