Chapter 120: The Great Waves Sweep the Sands
(Cat flutter Chinese) "Something else?"
The three of Duke wondered again, what else did Jiaolong need to do besides completing the task?
"Yes, with the twenty members stationed in the Emirate of Mausbagan, we Jiaolong now only have more than eighty people in total, that is, if we have to recruit new members now!"
Jiang Lin nodded, in the last few battles, Jiaolong has been continuously attrition, so Jiang Lin knows that if he doesn't replenish the source of troops, then Jiaolong's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
"But we're going to recruit ...... here."
It is true that Jiaolong's expansion is very necessary, but the current situation is very serious, and it is not the time to expand the staff at all.
"No, now is the time, there is a saying in Huaxia called the big waves and sand, and using war to test new members is the biggest responsibility for Jiaolong!"
Jiang Lin shook his head, his tone was very firm, after all, the function of Jiaolong is war, so Jiaolong members must withstand the devastation of war, and the current Gulf of Aden is undoubtedly the training ground of the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment.
According to Jiang Lin's plan, the recruited new members will be directly thrown into the battlefield of the Gulf of Aden, and after the battle is over, those who can survive will become official members of Jiaolong, and follow Jiaolong to overcome the waves and move towards a more significant victory.
Some people may say that Jiang Lin's idea is very dangerous and extreme, but the reality is so cruel, fate will not give anyone a chance to prepare, and since he chooses to do this business, he must be prepared for death in advance.
"However, even if we recruit people, we don't have so many weapons and equipment to arm them, let's say speedboats, even if we can buy them, we can't provide armored ......."
Indeed, as Duke said, Jiaolong now only has more than 30 speedboats, and there are not many speedboats for Jiaolong's new members.
"I don't think we have to use speedboats, such as medium-sized fishing boats, and motorboats, these are optional equipment, and as for firearms, I think there is no shortage of such things in this war-torn land."
Speedboats, between steamers and motorboats, are not fast, and if there is no armor, the protection capacity is also insufficient, not as large as the ship, the protection capacity is strong, and it is not as small as the motorboat, and the speed of movement is fast.
After a series of discussions, Jiang Lin and Duke worked out the benefits and benefits of recruiting new members.
At two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the Jiaolong members were arranged to be on standby, and Jiang Lin and Duke were divided into two groups to complete their own tasks.
"Commander, just the two of us? Do you want to bring a few more brothers? ”
According to the plan, Jiang Lin and Tiger were responsible for finding the nearest arms dealer to purchase weapons.
Duke and Dick are in a group that goes to a small city closest to the Huaxia Military Port to organize and recruit new members.
"No, this arms dealer was contacted with the help of Brigade Commander Zhao, so I think our safety should be guaranteed."
Although Jiaolong is not familiar with the Gulf of Aden, there are people stationed here in the Huaxia military, and with the help of the Huaxia military, Jiaolong's various things are progressing very smoothly.
"Hello, my Huaxia friend? My name is Takajik, and Zhao and I are good friends, so we are good friends too! ”
Jiang Lin and they had just arrived at the designated location, and a few taels of Mitsubishi off-road were already waiting where, and when they saw Jiang Lin and they got out of the car, a black man wearing a bulletproof vest walked up and gave Jiang Lin a big hug.
The black man is worthy of being fat and strong, if it weren't for Jiang Lin's strong body, he might have broken bones.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Lin."
"Well, I know you, I heard Zhao tell me, by the way, it's not safe here, hurry up, talk about it first, what can I do to help you?"
After a short greeting, Takajik hurriedly asked Jiang Lin where they were now, on the edge of the two firefighting forces, and maybe a shell would fly over at some point.
"Well, we need a batch of heavy machine guns, of course, if there are RPGs, or individual shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles or something."
Jiang Lin nodded, what naval warfare requires is large firepower, and as for small-caliber weapons such as assault rifles, they are not within Jiang Lin's options.
"Yes, yes, we've got it all here! Not sure how much you can want? ”
Takajik didn't think about it, and nodded directly, you must know that the situation here is chaotic, and the demand for weapons by the crossfire forces is very large, so the inventory of arms dealers here is relatively complete.
"I want equipment for about 400 people, that is, 200 heavy machine guns, 500,000 rounds of ammunition, 100 RPG launchers, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, half blasting and half armor-piercing, and another 100 individual shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile launchers, as well as 500 anti-aircraft shells."
Hearing the other party say to leave, Jiang Lin was also unequivocal, and directly reported a series of weapons he wanted, and directly budgeted according to the establishment of five hundred people.
Although this time, Jiaolong only planned to envy two to three hundred people, but Jiaolong now has three maritime law enforcement ships, which are capable of storing so many materials, so it doesn't hurt to purchase more.
"Yes, since you are Zhao's friend, then I won't calculate the price with you, a fixed price, five million US dollars, more I will earn, less will count you as earned."
Takajik laughed, to be honest, the number of weapons purchased by Jiaolong was too small, and he didn't care about this money at all, if it weren't for Zhao Ziyang's sake, such a small list, he would have to take it for this.
"Alright, Tiger, transfer money to him immediately, since Brother Taka is so straightforward, then we can't be stingy!"
Seeing that Taka was very bold, Jiang Lin was also in a very good mood, and he roughly calculated that the value of these things he purchased was definitely more than five million US dollars, and it would only be more and not less.
After agreeing on the delivery time, the two sides said goodbye, and Jiang Lin led Tiger directly to the next destination - the Chekonov shipyard.
It is said to be a shipyard, but in fact, it is a large area of all kinds of ship trading yards, where you can buy brand new ships of all kinds, you can also buy second-hand merchant ships, and if you are lucky, you can also find some retired warships.
Jiang Lin and the others came here to purchase two small and medium-sized ships, as well as a cargo ship with built-in cabins.
However, due to the perennial war in this area, the shipbuilding industry here is not only backward in technology, but also the entire shipbuilding industry has been about to wither, the whole area, either sand mining ships or small speedboats, or in the dock, there are simply half-finished freighters, and in a huge area, there are only dozens of black laborers leisurely welding steel plates.
In fact, the main reason is the experience problem, let's say that a small and medium-sized cargo ship, the cost is tens or even millions of dollars, even if it can be built, but in such a war-torn environment, who will buy it?
