Chapter 418 Security Services

Establishing a workshop is only the first step, a small step to be exact.

According to Crown Prince Mohammed's vision, the first thing is to ensure the maintenance of the main battle equipment on the ground, that is, to establish a repair plant for tanks and combat vehicles.

Next, there is also the maintenance of other main battle equipment, such as the JF-17 fighter.

Of course, you have to take it one step at a time.

Funds and land are not problems, the real problem is the lack of people, to be precise, talents.

Pakistan can provide equipment, it can provide the necessary technology, and it can even send some technical experts, but it can't provide too many technical personnel.

In addition, almost all of the main battle equipment provided by Pakistan comes from China, at least using China's technology.

In the long run, Crown Prince Mohammed will certainly hope to take this opportunity to establish a complete military industry of development, design, production and sales.

Obviously, Wang Dong is indeed the most suitable candidate.

The crown prince is sincere, and Wang Dong is not easy to refuse, in fact, there is no way to refuse.

Isn't it hard to bring hundreds of operatives to Nasiriyah just to get a piece of their own territory and think about long-term development?

In addition, even if this is not the case, D&F will continue to expand into other fields in the future.

Now that the opportunity has come, it is necessary to seize it!

Of course, the details still need to be discussed, and there is no need to waste the precious time of the crown prince, not to mention that the crown prince does not know anything about military technology.

Subsequently, the crown prince mentioned the second thing.

That is, let Wang Dong and them return to Iraq.

Instead of fighting on the front lines, they went to Basra, training newly formed armies, as well as assisting combat units that were about to transfer past.

The main one is Basra Airport.

It is arranged that the JF-17 fighter jets deployed in King Khalid military city will be handed over to the Iraqi Air Force within a week and stationed at Basra airport.

When the time comes, Basra airfield will be upgraded to an airbase.

However, there are many problems that need to be solved urgently.

For example, Basra airport has a serious lack of infrastructure, with a lack of hangars for fighter jets and even insufficient barracks.

There are also problems on the personnel side.

Let's not forget that the pilots of those JF-17s are all from Pakistan and are now from the company "Angu".

In addition, the ammunition used by these fighters, such as small-diameter laser-guided bombs, is provided by Saudi Arabia and naturally needs to be guarded.

The Crown Prince's intention was clear, that is, the company "Angu" would send people to Basra.

Not to fight, but to take on the task of security.

To put it bluntly, it is to take over Basra airport and take charge of the security of the airport before the Iraqi government forces can take over the responsibilities.

As for the other meaning, the crown prince did not say it, and he did not need to say it explicitly.

That is, the crown prince does not trust Razak, or at least the Iraqi government army, and does not trust dozens of fighter jets and logistics support to the Iraqi authorities.

Let Wang Dong go over more to spy on Lazak.

To put it bluntly, it's the Overseers in the past.

Of course, Wang Dong understood what the crown prince meant, but he was a little hesitant, because he knew that this was just the beginning, and going to Iraq was definitely not that simple.

You know, the ground forces of the coalition are about to enter Iraq.

When the ground forces enter the war, will they let the people of the "Angu" company follow the advance, or even undertake the logistics support tasks of the coalition forces?

Moreover, the newly formed forces of the Iraqi government will certainly be involved in the next fighting.

When the time comes, will the instructors sent by the "Angu" company follow the troops to the front?

In the future, there will certainly be more fighter jets stationed in Basra and more Pakistani pilots flying them on combat missions.

If it is shot down by the rebels at the front line, should the "Angu" company send someone to the rescue?

All in all, as long as you go to Iraq, it is absolutely impossible to stay outside the battlefield all the time, and sooner or later you will fight again.

Obviously, this is exactly what Wang Dong is trying to avoid.

It's just that Wang Dong also knows that he must not refuse the crown prince in one go, after all, the crown prince made such a request to Wang Dong, which is his trust in Wang Dong.

Betrayed the trust of the crown prince, and still want to eat in Saudi Arabia in the future?

Yun Long saw Wang Dong's dilemma.

"Your Highness, we are just such a few people," Yun Long smiled reluctantly and said, "After the defense of Nasiriyah, we have less than three hundred people who can still fight. This amount of manpower, even if it goes to Iraq, is a drop in the bucket and may not be able to play much of a role. ”

"Is it a hassle to recruit people?"

Yunlong was slightly stunned, and he didn't know what to say.

"Money is not a problem, if you have financial difficulties, I can pay a sum in advance, billion, two billion, you have the final say. I believe that as long as you can afford to make money, there is no shortage of people in this world who are willing to work hard for money. Of course, I'm not talking about you. ”

"And then?"

When Wang Dong said this, Muhammad looked at him.

"It's not a problem to hire people, the point is, after this war is over, we don't need so many people at all, what will we use to feed so many people when the time comes?"

"Can't be fired?"

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, mercenaries are a special profession. Although mercenaries fight for money, when they go to the battlefield, trust is the most important thing. The key to the fact that we were able to unite and not back down from casualties in a battle as tragic as Nasiriyah was that the operatives who followed me knew that I would not abandon them and would do my best to take them off the battlefield. If I dismiss them after the battle is over, and play the same trick as a bird, who will want to follow me to the battlefield in the future? ”

Muhammad was a little surprised, but said nothing.

"In fact, unless we leave voluntarily, we generally do not voluntarily terminate the employment relationship, and only in this way can we maintain the cohesion of the team."

As soon as Yunlong said this, Muhammad nodded slightly.

Wang Dong sighed secretly, what should have been said had already been said.

"That's true, it's that I'm thinking too simply. It's just that the problem you mentioned is actually not a problem at all in the long run. ”

Wang Dong and Yunlong were secretly surprised, the crown prince's words were too profound.

"The civil war in Iraq will certainly continue for a few more years, and there will definitely be a need for enough military instructors during that time, and there will be more security tasks as government forces regain lost ground." The crown prince paused for a moment, and then said, "As for the end of the civil war, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Iraqi authorities to build a sufficiently strong and reliable national defense force in a short period of time, and it will definitely need defense services." ”

What does that mean?

Wang Dong didn't react at once, or didn't think about it so much.

Yun Long showed an imperceptible smile, he understood, and saw the opportunity in this.
