Chapter 13 Equipment
After signing the contract, Qin Tian felt that he had been fooled.
Because the so-called "better environment" refers to Qin Tian's dormitory, the reason why it is said "better" is because the previous six-person room has become a five-person room. Angus arranged for four more people to come in, and he was clearly unwilling to waste any space that could be used.
They are what Angus calls a "better partner", ...... "ghost" security company is equipped with a group of six people as standard, which is to better use the pickup truck to carry out the mission: one of them is the driver, one is in the passenger seat to observe and broadcast, the back seat two people are watching on both sides, and the back seat plus two people are responsible for fire support.
There were five people in the dormitory, including Qin Tian, and the other one was John.
Qin Tian couldn't help but ask John: "Where are they 'better'?" ”
"They all speak English!" John replied: "If you don't believe it, ask us." ”
Somalia was a British colony, and it wasn't difficult to find a few English-speaking Somalis.
"Oh, that's great!" Qin Tian replied, "So, can you tell me what the better equipment is?" ”
John didn't speak, and directly took Qin Tian into the yard, it was still the rusty container, or the big lock, and after opening it, it was still the same garbage equipment as the scrap yard.
However, John found another key, uncovered a piece of the container's movable tin sheet, and inserted the key into the exposed keyhole...... Fuck, the container is connected to a basement.
John turned on the light, and then led Qin Tian down the steps into the basement, which was filled with brand-new and shiny weapons and equipment: M16, G36, SG550...... There are all kinds of countries, and there are even bazookas, mortars, etc.
Qin Tian looked at John with puzzled eyes, this was too far from the weapon in the hand of the "ghost" mercenary.
Of course, this can be explained by the fact that the cost is too great to equip in batches, but since it can't be equipped, why buy it again? And it seems to be pretty well maintained!
Qin Chuan couldn't help but pick up an AUG assault rifle and take aim.
"These are my private collections!" John explains: "I still use them occasionally for target ......"
Saying that, John raised his head to the side, and then Qin Tiancai noticed that there was a side door next to the basement, and the other side of the door should be the shooting range.
"You're welcome!" John said, "Pick what you like and try it!" ”
Qin Tian walked around, and finally picked an AK and asked, "It won't be like those guns above, right?" ”
"Of course!" John replied, a little puzzled, "But why AK?" ”
"Because I'm part of the 'ghosts'!" Qin Tian replied.
John couldn't help but let out an "oh": "Are you trying to hide yourself?" ”
"So to speak!" Qin Tian replied: "If you are willing to form a logistics team specifically for me, I am willing to choose other rifles!" ”
So John understood that there was also a problem of ammunition supply when choosing other rifles...... The surrounding teammates are all using AKs, if Qin Tian is holding an M16, not only is it too abrupt to become the target of enemy snipers, but he can't get ammunition from the team members when the ammunition is finished, and he still has to use AKs in the end.
This is also one of the reasons why the "Spartan" mercenary group uses all American-style equipment.
If a team has a variety of equipment in their hands, even if it is all famous guns that look cool, the insiders will know at a glance that this is a group of children showing off their guns and not for fighting.
So the conditions given by Angus finally lived up to their name, Qin Tian got a well-maintained AK47, and also got a box of bullets imported from Russia.
The latter is more important than you think, a gun is actually a tool to shoot bullets...... If the bullet is not qualified, no matter how good the gun is, it is waste.
Qin Tian had observed the bullets used by the "ghost" mercenary group before, and most of them were marked with Arabic characters and packed in boxes with red sealant, which were obviously shoddy from some underground arsenal in Africa.
Shooting with such a bullet, it is not accurate or secondary.
If a bullet bullet gets stuck in the chamber of the gun, and when the trigger is pulled again, there is a "pop", and the most unfortunate thing happens...... Explode.
When Qin Tian returned to the dormitory, several of his new partners had already moved into the dormitory.
As John said, they did all know English.
Because one of the mercenaries in a white camouflage uniform stared at the AK in Qin Tian's hand for a long time, and then said in English: "Very good gun!" ”
"Yes!" Qin Tian replied, then looked at his AK, the butt of the gun was already half faded.
"Hello!" The mercenary stretched out his hand: "Responsible for driving, you can call me the driver, you won't want to hear my real name!" ”
Qin Tian knew what the reason was, Africans often gave long names...... This is due to the fact that they will add to their names the memorable things they have experienced.
Then after listening to it, it will make you look confused, and you need to have a strong memory and pronunciation ability to memorize it completely.
"Jason. Qin! Qin Chuan replied.
"We've heard of you, man!" Another mercenary with a scar on his forehead interjected, "Is it true that you dealt with fifteen people in a matter of minutes?" ”
"Shut up, Jonary!" A man in a beret who looked like the leader of them said, "We're not allowed to discuss this!" ”
"But I'm not telling anyone about it......"
"If you don't allow it, you can't talk about it to anyone!" The beret accentuated his tone.
Then the beret said to Qin Tian, "I'm sorry, sir. They think it's an external ban! ”
"Wait!" Qin Tian asked the beret, "You call me sir?" ”
"Yes!" The beret replied: "We are commanded by you!" ”
"But......" Qin Tian asked puzzledly, "They seem to obey your orders again?" ”
"Yes, sir!" Beret replied.
After a pause, the beret explained, "Of course, they also obey your orders!" ”
Qin Tian didn't understand the command system of the "ghost" a little...... If there are only six people in a team, there should be only one leader, and everyone in the team listens to the leader. Instead of being like now, a few people listen to berets, berets listen to Qin Tian, and they even have to listen to John.
Later, Qin Tian learned that this was not actually a "ghost" command system, but a Somali style.
The Beret was the son of a tribal elder, and the Berets brought their retinue from the tribe.
As for why they joined the mercenaries......
The reason is simple, they are too poor to live, and between being a robber and a mercenary, they choose the latter.
