Chapter Ninety-Nine: Expanding Power I

The first batch of more than 1,000 people, half of whom are currently on duty in Sierra Leone's diamond mines, and the second batch has a scale of more than 4,000 people, which Wu Chen means is organized into a brigade-level combat team. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The largest number of members in the second group are veterans from Ukraine and Russia, accounting for 60 percent, followed by veterans from the United States and Israel with 30 percent, and finally veterans from the United Kingdom and Germany with 10 percent.

Most of the Ukrainian and Russian team members were recruited by Marcas, and more than ninety percent of them were from various special brigades, the United States, Britain and Israel, in addition to special forces, there were also airborne troops, armored troops, artillery and other technical arms, and the German team members mainly came from armored troops.

The reason for this recruitment is a special purpose, the German team has a small number of players, mainly responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Leopard 2 main battle tank, and the American and British team members, mainly responsible for the Abrams main battle tank and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, as well as howitzers.

Israel's team members are special tactical brigades, responsible for sneak attacks, sniping and support, and Russian and Ukrainian team members are the core strike force of the entire brigade-level combat team, light armored infantry type, equipped with infantry fighting vehicles, rocket artillery vehicles, self-propelled howitzer vehicles, main battle tanks and 152 howitzers.

Any one who stands up is an excellent member of their respective team, but so many people get together, the problem arises, no one is convinced of whom, for the sake of honor and pride, scrambling to show their value, just arrived at the military camp in Lang Bhasa Town, there have been more than a dozen fights in one day.

"What exactly does mercenary mean, I believe everyone knows very well in their hearts, why do they want to be mercenaries, I believe that except for a few militants who are not willing to be lonely, the rest have one purpose, that is, dollars! Everyone wants to use their skills and lives to exchange for a comfortable life for their families, and I think everyone will agree with my words. ”

"The first team members are an example, with an annual salary of more than $200,000, which is still only a few months of fighting, otherwise it would be more. The treatment of the Golden Triangle mercenary corps is settled on a daily basis in wartime, with important and high-risk units of $1,000 a day, and $500 to $800 a day for regular battles! Thompson said.

"Recruiting you to the mercenary corps is not to send you to death, but to let you live and get the money in your hands, go home and enjoy a happy family life with your wife and children. If you want to survive in battle, the first thing is to obey orders unconditionally, which is the most basic standard and the rule. The supreme leader of the Golden Triangle Mercenary Legion is Wu Chen, who is codenamed Instructor, and his words are the final decision, and even I must obey, and there is no room for bargaining. ”

"Second, you must treat your comrades-in-arms as your own brothers and sisters, help each other and trust each other, this is the second rule of survival, we are a team, a whole and a big family, we don't need those individual heroism!" Hunter said.

......

Hunter and Thompson stood on the airstrip of the air base and took turns to give speeches before the training camp, and the reason why they chose to hold the training ceremony at the airport was simply to let these guys who think highly of themselves see the strength of the mercenary army.

M1 Abrams main battle tanks, T-80 main battle tanks, Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks, Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles.

Hind Mi-24 helicopter gunships, Apache helicopter gunships, 152 Soviet-made large-caliber howitzers, 155 American-made large-caliber howitzers, Whirlwind rocket launchers, and two aerial gunboats shocked this group of people beyond words.

Paralyzed, is this still the equipment of mercenaries, with these weapons, you can even go to war with a medium-sized country, when you first reported to Chittagong, Bangladesh, you also went to the aircraft carrier you just bought, plus those strategic transport aircraft, the world is simply not too crazy!

In order to be able to quickly build up combat effectiveness, Thompson had to fly back from Angola to preside over this internal training camp. The boss was busy with the release of the first movie and didn't have time to come back, so the two of them temporarily acted as instructors.

"Hunter, you choose a group of local young men, the kind that are sociable, especially those members of the gendarmerie who have participated in the training, they have the most basic military knowledge, and secretly infiltrate the territory of various local forces, and explain these few questions for me."

"How many large and small forces are there in the Golden Triangle, how many chassis each force occupies, how many people there are, how many troops there are, how are the weapons and equipment, what is the relationship with each other, the most convenient attack route, the safest transportation route, you have a month to get it, I am ready to launch a strike against these people in October, intelligence work is the top priority." Wu Chen made a request to Hunter.

No matter what kind of battle, intelligence work is the first element to win, this is very simple common sense, Wu Chen did not dare to underestimate those local forces, these people are basically locals, very familiar with the terrain, in case of guerrilla tactics, the mercenary army will be dragged to death.

"Boss, do we need aircraft carriers on our side?" Marcas called.

After buying the first one, there will be no pressure and shock on the second, what about aircraft carriers, which are not American nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, conventional aircraft carriers, paralyzed millions of dollars!

"How many aircraft carriers does the Russian Navy have to sell, is it the Minsk aircraft carrier, which is on par with the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier?" Wu Chen said curiously.

"Yes, the Russian Navy is willing to sell us the aircraft carrier Minsk for a price of eight million dollars, and also keep weapons and electronic facilities, Russia is now very short of money, dare to sell anything, as long as it gives money!" Marcas said.

History still returned to the original trajectory, Wu Chen remembered that it was South Korea's Daewoo who bought these two aircraft carriers, which only cost 13 million US dollars in total, and the South Korean government at that time was still thinking about developing an aircraft carrier strategy and preparing to upgrade these two aircraft carriers, but it was forced to dismantle by Russia.

Now he has only spent an extra three million dollars, but he has retained the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier, which is very worthwhile, and it is estimated that the benefits that Marcus secretly gave must be indispensable.

"Buy, that is, the price of a set of jewelry for Hollywood stars, it's a fool not to buy it, the Russians dare to sell it, we dare to buy it, two conventionally powered aircraft carriers, grass, can scare Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam and other countries into peeing their pants!"

"What about the aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, I heard that the boiler explosion was being repaired, so I simply bought it." Wu Chen said with a smile.

This so-called aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov was originally sold by Russia to India in his memory, and Wu Chen has never had a good impression of India, so he took advantage of the cheap to cut it off, and he didn't care about millions of dollars.
