Chapter 611: After the War
The battle, which lasted for several days, finally came to an end.
Although the Dragon Soul Mercenary Regiment had won the war with less than a quarter of the enemy's numbers, the huge losses were still a heavy blow to them.
Lin Dong, who had not slept well for two days and three nights, sat in the underground command center with bloodshot eyes, listening to Long Yi report to himself about the post-war summary.
"After this battle, there are still two hundred and thirty-five members of our Dragon Soul who can fight, and another sixty-five people who are seriously wounded, these are all people who have been severely disabled in the war, and even if they can survive, they will not be able to fight anymore in the end."
Rubbing his forehead, which had a headache, the loss this time was more serious than Lin Dong expected.
"All the wounded are rescued with all their might, and if they can be rescued, count them as one."
"So what are the commanders of these wounded regiments going to do with them in the future?"
After thinking for a while, Lin Dong said: "In this way, everyone, if they want to leave, then we will give each of us a subsidy of 50,000 US dollars, which is enough to ensure the life of them and their families; If they want to stay here, I'll find them a good job.
Next, I am going to build a private hunting ground, you must know that our land was taken in this name, and I guess the president of Dodoma has scolded me to death in his heart! ”
A little joke, but here he is the only one who will laugh, although Long Yi has a lot of intelligence, but it is not a human after all.
"In the future, those people can let them work in the hunting ground, and when the time comes, those soldiers who have retired from the dragon soul can also work as security guards in the hunting ground or something, which can be regarded as finding a way out for them."
The biggest advantage of this is that it can give those low-level warriors who join the Dragon Soul an extra guarantee.
However, this battle also made Lin Dong realize a big deficiency of their dragon soul.
That is, there are too few people available in the hands!
Although the training of recruits is very successful, after all, these are just some rookies who have never been on the battlefield, no matter how good the training is, when they really come to the battlefield, everything is still unknown.
The best example is the wolf pack squad that followed Sophie out this time, in the opinion of Chief Instructor Bute, each of these people can become the elite of the national army, but after a battle, only six of the dozens of people are still alive......
That's the truth!
"How is Ben's second squad doing?"
This time the second squad of the war can be said to have suffered heavy losses again, and after Morris, this time there was another attrition.
Ryuichi replied, "Aiken, the sniper of the second squad, in the previous attack, his spine was broken by an overturned armored car, and according to Dr. Mu's diagnosis, he can only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair!" ”
Lin Dong nodded slightly, he had already prepared for this news, at that time, there were three people in the second squad who were carried back, and the most serious of them was this sniper Aiken.
"The other two assault men, Clay, lost two fingers on his left hand, and although it affected him somewhat, it wasn't much.
Ben Affrey, the leader of the second squad, has a broken sternum, but it is not serious, there are therapeutic drugs, and it will heal in a week at most. ”
To be honest, if Lin Dong was willing to take out a bottle of high-grade healing medicine, an injury like Aiken's broken spine could also be healed, but Lin Dong never thought of doing so.
It's not that I'm reluctant to do anything, the most important thing is that at this stage, intermediate or above medicines, including treatment, strengthening and other functional agents, are not suitable for reality.
Because the current Lin Dong does not have the strength to face the consequences caused by the appearance of these medicines!
"Aiken's words, I remember that he had his own family in Angola, so when he is completely stable, let him go back.
According to the contract we signed before, we will give him 500,000 US dollars in disability compensation, and I want to come to this place in Angola, which is enough money for him to live the rest of his life well. ”
He Long Yi summarized the losses of this war as a whole, including the weapons and ammunition consumed, the compensation for casualties, etc., which suddenly reduced the reserve funds of the dragon soul by one-third, and then thought about his next plan, and suddenly Lin Dong felt the pressure brought by money again.
"However, it is imperative to expand the personnel, otherwise if someone does something next, the dragon soul will really have no power to protect itself!"
Yes, expanding the staff, this is Lin Dong's first priority after the war.
And this time Lin Dong will not recruit those ordinary people anymore, although these people are safe to use, but their growth is too slow, and it also costs a lot of money to train them.
Although there are only about 200 people left, it is enough to protect the base.
"Next, we need to recruit some capable people."
In the conference room on the second floor of the base building on the ground, Lin Dong summoned all the people who could come from the first and second squads.
"The main recruitment targets are those retired soldiers, as well as retired special forces."
"Especially those who have participated in the fighting, we can target those killing machines with the after-effects of war trauma, although these people have retired, but they can no longer integrate into normal society, I think we are a good choice for them here!"
PTSD - Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which refers to an abnormal mental response to severe stressors such as trauma. Also known as delayed psychogenic response, it refers to a mental disorder that results in delayed onset and long-lasting mental trauma caused by an unusual threat or catastrophic psychological trauma.
This symptom occurs mainly in men, mainly soldiers who have experienced war, so it is called "shell shock" or "war fatigue".
Unless such people undergo long-term psychological counseling, it is difficult for them to easily enter the peaceful world again, which will not only affect them personally, but also cause great security risks to the whole society.
Countries in the world that have been at war for a long time, such as the United States, are not a small number of people, and this is also a matter of great concern to the government.
"The long-term war has caused a huge distortion in their minds, but such people, each of them can be called war experts, maybe they are dangerous and cancer-like existences for others, but for our mercenary group, they are all indispensable talents!"
Lin Dong's proposal was endorsed by everyone present.
Matthew, a medical soldier from the U.S. Navy, took the initiative to stand up and said, "Commander, if you want to find these people, maybe I can help a little!" ”
Lin Dong smiled slightly, he called these people over this time, for this, not only Matthew, but also several other people in the second squad also know some of these people to a greater or lesser extent! I want to talk about "Super God Mercenary System" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
