Chapter 53 Take the initiative to find business V
"Mr. Hall, do you think I still need to talk to the representative of the upper family?" Wu Chen asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In any case, people can contact themselves and pass on the word on behalf of the Angolan government, which is a favor, whether it is thick or thin, and they don't say hello, which seems a little unreasonable.
"No, you are a separate organization, you can directly negotiate with the other party to negotiate terms, I think you are no stranger to those high-ranking officials of the Angolan government, our Condor Special Security Company has dealt with them many times before, and we are also old friends." Hall said.
He continued: "You know, the previous family has always cooperated with the Angolan government army, while the United States and South African governments support the Angolan UNITA, so their interests are conflicting, and we beat the UNITA army very badly last year, which is the fundamental reason why the Angolan government has issued a mandate to you. ”
Then he said: "It is because of this incident that the South African government has been angered, and the previous family has been pressured by the government to move its headquarters to the United Kingdom, and I don't think the days when the company closes here will not be too long." ”
The negotiators with Wu Chen are also old acquaintances, one is a high-ranking official of the government, and the other is a general of the government army, and everyone will determine the date, place, requirements and remuneration of the commission. 、
Since it is a negotiation, there are disputes, and the positions of each side are different, the Angolan government hopes to spend less money and do more, and Wu Chen hopes to make more money and do less work, and no substantive progress has been made for three consecutive days.
Arya said worriedly: "Honey, you want cash and the right to mine such a large area of land, is this condition too ruthless?" ”
Wu Chen shook his head and said: "I am not a philanthropist, my brothers and sisters are willing to follow me at the cost of their lives, I, the boss, of course, must be worthy of everyone's efforts." Arya, war is cruel, and no one dares to say whether they will be alive when they come here and complete their mission. ”
He added: "I will mobilize a mechanized infantry battalion this time, plus logistics personnel, and the total number will be more than a thousand, and the number of instructors must be at least thirty. According to my remuneration standard, during the mission, the instructors of the training regiment will double their salaries, which will reach 1,000 dollars per day, 300 dollars for ordinary officers in the mechanized infantry battalion, and at least 100 dollars per day for soldiers, which is 1120,000 dollars, or more than 3 million dollars a month! ”
Then he said: "Also, this mission will use at least 50 infantry fighting vehicles and 12 helicopter gunships, and the daily wear and tear and fuel is a lot of money, and the An-225 transport aircraft burns fuel quite well, and the transportation must also be counted, I ask for 20 million US dollars a month, is it a lot?" Since they can't afford to pay for it, they have half the money and half the resources. ”
Arya said: "But listening to these people, our offer has exceeded their bottom line, if we don't reduce the fee, maybe there will be problems with the cooperation between the two sides, and this mission will be canceled." ”
Wu Chen smiled and said: "I'm not worried about this, let's consume it slowly, the key problem is that I can afford them but I can't afford it." ”
Sure enough, after a week-long debate, in the end the government gave in, because the current situation really does not allow for procrastination, and even the president urged to sign the agreement as soon as possible, isn't it money, isn't it those oil and diamond mines, give, the main task at this stage is to completely defeat the rebels, and it is worth paying a big price.
According to the agreement, Wu Chen will use a mechanized infantry battalion to participate in the operation, and will receive 10 million US dollars in cash per month, exploration and mining rights for tens of kilometers of coast, and also the exploration and mining rights of diamond mines, and all income will not need to pay taxes.
The Angolian side demanded that the mechanized infantry battalion be in place in place within half a month at the latest, and the Angolian side would pay for this for one month in advance, and at the same time, it would do its utmost to cooperate and ensure the logistical supply of the infantry battalion.
"I've finished negotiations with the Angolan side, what happened to you and Marcas? If I don't take the initiative to call, you won't know how to report to me, right? Wu Chen took the satellite phone and called Hunter.
"Boss, the leader here does not reject our request to use the airport, but he is still hesitating about the request of the garrison, in fact, he wants us to help him, provide weapons and equipment and instructors, and even help him stabilize the situation when necessary." Hunter said.
", I said, our principle is not to get involved in the local factional struggle, they solve their own family's affairs, just a special airport, and we want weapons and equipment to train the army, and we have to help him fight, with such high conditions, is he crazy?" Wu Chen said very dissatisfied.
If it were other countries, Wu Chen would also consider raising some conditions, but Somalia is different, this is also one of the least developed countries in the world, food is not self-sufficient, fishery resources are rich but because of backward technology and other factors, can not play an important role, the biggest economic source is animal husbandry, there is no money, there are no resources, it is difficult to raise some conditions.
"You tell him that I can provide a batch of assault rifles and ammunition, and at most some bazookas, and that he won't dream about anything else, and I don't necessarily have to transit through Mogadishu, and I will hear an answer within twenty-four hours." Wu Chen said again.
When Wu Chen and Arya returned to Langbassha Town, news came from Khante that the other party had agreed to his own conditions, and completed the right to use the airport and garrison the airport at the cost of 300 AK-47 assault rifles and ten RPG-3 40mm rocket launchers.
Wu Chen immediately ordered the transportation base to dispatch elite elites to immediately form a task force to go to the airport in Mogadishu to immediately clear the runway, inspect the electronic facilities of the control tower, and complete the use of the airport within seven days.
The 1st Mountain Battalion of the Free Army in Lang Bas Sha Town became the main force of this mission to Angola, and Wu Chen meant that these soldiers should experience real combat so that they could grow up quickly.
This time it was a voluntary act, and there were no mandatory requirements, but to his surprise, no one quit, and the salary of one hundred dollars a day really shocked everyone, and one day was worth the previous month's income, and this kind of opportunity was never dreamed of.
When they arrive in Mogadishu, the mountain battalion will be converted into a mechanized infantry battalion, using a large number of infantry fighting vehicles to fight, and the driver, artillery commander and commander, all of whom are the elite of the Airborne Force recruited from Ukraine, will follow the bulk carrier to the Bangladeshi port, and with it, there will be more than a dozen Mi-24 helicopter gunships, including the driver.
Since the airstrip in Langbasa Town had not yet been built, Wu Chen had to let the mountain battalion leave by ship from Thailand in batches, all using Soviet-made equipment brought back from Ukraine, and more than 1,000 people arrived in Mogadishu on An-124s.
Combat vehicles and helicopters will be transported by the An-225 transport aircraft and five other transport aircraft, such as infantry fighting vehicles, the total combat weight is less than 15 tons, the An-225 transport aircraft can reach a maximum of 250 tons, can transport 16 at a time, and the An-124 transport aircraft can also transport 10 at a time. Fifty infantry fighting vehicles, 12 helicopter gunships, and six Soviet-made howitzers of 152 caliber were put into use this time, and all the planes did not need to be dispatched at all.
The An-225 transport aircraft is more than 300 tons of oil in a flight, and the An-124 transport aircraft also has more than 200 tons, and a ton of gasoline is more than 1,000 dollars.
The role of Mogadishu International Airport is to allow the transport planes to make a short stopover, especially to refuel, and it really doesn't matter if anything else, at most, it is to bring back Somali specialties at the delivery point.
Listen, by the way, those beef, mutton or fish, compared with the operating cost of the transport plane, grass, you can't say that, it's not the same thing, and when it arrives in the Golden Triangle, it will become the price of gold.
In order to protect his transport plane from the interference of local fighting, Wu Chen decided to transfer the second mechanized infantry battalion of the Meisi Town Defense Army to garrison it, and send a special operations team.
