Titan Valley.
The barracks of the Weir Company.
Zhou Quanbei had already changed into a camouflage military uniform, sat in a huge military off-road vehicle, and was accompanied by Liu Ju and Meng to inspect the military camp station.
After nearly two years of construction, coupled with Zhou Quanbei's investment of funds, the entire camp has already completely changed.
Even John's Midi barracks, which was not far away, did not concede much at all.
Of course, this is only ground power, if you talk about air power, for the standard fighter of the Mi Army, Zhou Quanbei is simply beyond the reach of the dust.
This is not to say that Zhou Quanbei does not want to engage in air power, in fact, Zhou Quanbei dreams and hopes that he can have an overwhelming air force in the Titan Valley.
Unfortunately, this is not a problem that money can solve.
After all, airplanes are easy to buy, but fighter pilots, especially aces and pilots with actual combat experience, are hard to find.
According to the current situation in the world, this is not impossible to do.
It's just that whether it is take-off speed or battle time, the number one is always Midi.
Zhou Quanbei can also afford the salaries of these soldiers, but when Zhou Quanbei founded this army, the core was 'diversification', or 'pseudo-diversification'. ’
Although black soldiers also made up a certain proportion of the soldiers, they had to be dominated by Chinese.
And white people, naturally, are no exception.
This kind of core composition determines that if you hire a big soldier, it is easy to cause unnecessary contradictions and disputes.
The most important thing is that once he does this, he will definitely arouse Midi's vigilance.
Although Central Africa is not the traditional sphere of influence of the Midi Emperor, they will never allow a Chinese to do something in this place that they do not want to see.
However, Zhou Quanbei was not in a hurry.
In the smooth historical process of later generations, there will be a few 'leading brothers' who will constantly look for things for them, in comparison, Zhou Quanbei's low-key and somewhat excessive little brother is not well known.
In the next step, Zhou Quanbei will also continue to increase the Jinyuan offensive against Midi.
At this time, on the huge training ground, several transport helicopters of the British army's standard were roaring with their motors, and they were constantly hovering in the sky.
And the training ground was densely packed, and there were no less than 5,000 soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition.
They were almost all equipped in the French style, and they were almost the same as the regular army of the French army.
And the officers, ninety percent, are the skin color that Zhou Quanbei is most familiar with.
They are the most advanced equipment of the Mi Army and the British Army, body armor, infrared glasses, and even, even first-class officers, each equipped with several military dogs.
Every officer's equipment must have hundreds of thousands of US dollars.
Zhou Quanbei looked at the dense camouflage steel helmets, as if he had entered a sea of steel, and couldn't help but nod slightly.
Liu Ju raised the command knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Salute." ”
"Brush."
Almost all the movements, all the soldiers, almost without thinking, made the same signature move.
Zhou Quanbei smiled slightly, and suddenly remembered the scene when he was in the military parade at Dongda a few days ago. Although he wanted to say 'hello comrades', but after calming down, Zhou Quanbei held back.
"Hello, soldiers." Zhou Quanbei smiled and said hello to the sea of camouflage.
"Good boss." The soldiers replied almost without thinking.
"Soldiers, you are all excellent soldiers, and I feel very happy and honored to be the chairman of the Weir Company. You will be our company......"
*******
At the end of the short military parade, Zhou Quanbei immediately ordered the mercenaries of the Weir Company to enter a state of combat readiness.
Subsequently, Zhou Quanbei, accompanied by Liu Ju and Meng, visited the construction of civilian facilities around the camp.
By this time, the camp had more than doubled in size than before, and the surrounding area was not as desolate as it had been at the beginning of the year, with buildings and straight roads leading to the settlements, several important mines, and several surrounding markets.
Although in terms of planning, it cannot be compared with China, but it can be regarded as the prototype of a city.
At this time, many wives and children of Chinese officers and soldiers have moved here, forming a Chinese settlement with significant Chinese characteristics in the eastern area of the camp.
It is orderly and elegant, and there are many small cars from Midi, Europe and Japan parked on the side of the road.
But in the West End, it's a different story.
Cluttered, filthy, shabby, decayed, and compared to the East End, it resembles heaven and hell.
In fact, although Zhou Quanbei recruited many black soldiers and gave them companies that were much more lucrative than their peers, due to his nature, Zhou Quanbei did not treat these black soldiers equally.
However, at this time, Zhou Quanbei didn't have time to do much.
First, he visited the Chinese community in the eastern district, and then Zhou Quanbei went to the northeast district to visit these fighting ethnic groups and the areas inhabited by the Dutch.
These people are all very respectful to Zhou Quanbei, just like their president.
Zhou Quanbei did his best, smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with everyone, chatted a few words, and cheered for homely things.
These people, including these Chinese, their previous lives were not all satisfactory, and it was Zhou Quanbei who gave them their current life.
Let them live in villas, separate courtyards, cars, bungalows, excellent education for their children, and high salaries.
But for Zhou Quanbei, these are far from enough, if you want to completely take root in this land, you must let these people have a real and real sense of belonging to this land.
Let them be conscious, willing to take up the weapons in their hands and defend this land.
But this is obviously not something that can be done overnight, and there is a lot of work that Zhou Quanbei needs to do.
In the next few days, Zhou Quanbei issued several instructions to the public relations department on the one hand, and on the other hand, he soaked in the barracks with all his might, eating and living with the soldiers, especially the Chinese soldiers, chatting, cheering for homely things, and by the way, instilling his own thoughts in them.
At this level, it is almost unrealistic for Zhou Quanbei to want to be perfect in all aspects.
But what Zhou Quanbei can do is to firmly grasp this gun in his hands.
Although Liu Ju and Meng are instructors and officers, the most important money bag has always been in the hands of Zhou Quanbei.
Every time a soldier receives the company, he needs Zhou Quanbei to sign it personally, which counts.
Of course, the mercenaries of the Weir company are paid half-yearly, which is mainly for convenience and time saving.
But from this time on, Zhou Quanbei has decided to change to a monthly salary system.
After the dragon company reported to Zhou Quanbei for signature, it was directly issued.
However, Zhou Quanbei also has a headache for the affairs of the Dragon Company, and there is no suitable candidate in his hand.
Zhou Quanbei suddenly thought of Lin Xiaoyu, with her temperament and proficient in French, it was not impossible to do these things.
It's just that, after all, it will take time to confirm.
******
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Under the painstaking management of Zhou Quanbei, all the affairs of the camp are developing in a good direction.
Especially Li Xinru's younger brother, Li Zihao, has been promoted to company commander. For Zhou Quanbei, there is an indescribable worship.
And like him, there are also teenagers from Hong Kong Island who came together at the beginning.
Although their faces are still a little immature, the wind and fortitude on their faces show that they have grown into qualified soldiers.
At this time, in the entire camp, the Chinese accounted for about 800-900 people.
White mercenaries, about 550 people.
The remaining 3,000 or so were all black soldiers.
Among them, the wages of Chinese and whites accounted for more than 8 percent of the total military salary. And these black soldiers, it costs very little.
Although they also admired body armor, the quality was far from comparable to that of the Chinese and whites.
And during this time, the surrounding situation continued to deteriorate.
Several tribes gathered to oppose the ~ government ~ government forces, and the government army was defeated and retreated, and the battle line even extended to the vicinity of the capital for a time.
What made Zhou Quanbei even more helpless was that Mr. President, who had had a good cooperation with Zhou Quanbei, was sniped by a terrorist during a speech and died on the spot.
And the new Mr. President, who is now in power, is from the largest tribe in the Titan Valley, and is known as a young Zhuang faction.
His consistent attitude towards the rebels was to suppress, suppress, and suppress.
But Zhou Quanbei knew that it would not be long before the anti-~government~ government army would receive more support and its strength would be unprecedentedly strong.
Eventually, they stormed the capital and won a landslide victory.
In the end, his wife and daughter were divided among several rebel leaders, and his sons were all executed.
Immediately, it led to the unprecedented brutality of the massacre.
The largest ethnic group, which originally accounted for more than 60 percent of the population, was killed to less than 20 percent in an instant.
But history has changed, and since Zhou Quanbei has come here, he will never let this kind of atrocity happen again.
Ninety percent of the soldiers in Zhou Quanbei are members of the main clan, and the surrounding area has always been the settlement area of the main clan.
If the atrocities are allowed to occur, it is not in Zhou Quanbei's interests.
But the current Mr. President is not friendly to Zhou Quanbei's existence, and at one time, he even wanted to use force to drive away Zhou Quanbei's uninvited guests.
But John spoke, and he also got some information about the camp, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
In the war room, looking at the huge sand table map, Zhou Quanbei rubbed his temples a little tiredly and lit a cigarette.
Since this is only a mercenary nature, Zhou Quanbei did not set up a full-time staff officer, and the current intelligence analysis is carried out by Liu Ju and Bobcat, plus some young officers of Chinese descent and white ghosts.
Before, he didn't feel the importance of staff officers, but once he stood in front, Zhou Quanbei reacted to this problem.
However, at this time, the meeting had ended, leaving Zhou Quanbei alone in the war room.
According to the existing force of the camp, Zhou Quanbei has a lot of confidence, even if he directly enters the frontal battlefield, the camp will not necessarily suffer.
But at this time, due to the stubborn nature of the president, it is obviously not a good time to intervene.
How to choose?
Zhou Quanbei covered his body in a cloud of smoke.
At this time, Liu Ju hurriedly reported, "Boss, Mr. Wang Lun is here." ”
Zhou Quanbei's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Please." ”
