Section 48 Security Companies: A Difficult Start [II]

Qin Lang felt that his life was getting very bad...... More precisely, very boring. Neither he nor www.biquge.info the day-to-day affairs of the Great Viper Weapons Company and the Umbrella Security Services Company were personally responsible, and he didn't need to develop new weapons, so all he could do every day was lie in a recliner and watch Claude and the former Marines train the company's rookie mercenaries with O'Connor.

Sometimes he thinks it's a ridiculous thing - not that he's doing nothing to watch others train, but that the training itself. Thanks to Goni. Diaz continued to buy new rifles from the factory, buying nearly 900 rifles in two weeks, and the mercenaries are still training with sticks.

And they will have to continue using sticks the next week, as Diaz has delivered another $20,000 order. Since the refitting of his private army, many manor owners have begun to update the equipment of their private army, and the production of the factory is a bit in short supply.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing, and if the mercenaries don't get familiar with the new rifles as soon as possible, they will have to postpone their entry into service. Seeing that hundreds of people received their salaries but didn't do anything, Qin Lang was very sad.

"We should only recruit retired soldiers." He muttered under his breath. Mercenary companies simply shouldn't and won't recruit civilians to train themselves, and it was a mistake that he didn't seriously think about it.

But in O'Connor's view, the mistake was not a serious problem. The company has now recruited forty-nine retired Marines, ten retired Army soldiers and twenty-three national soldiers. And there were seventy-four cowboys. He shrugged, "It's not that bad, it's just the blacks who are in trouble." ”

The vast majority of the mercenaries were black, three hundred in all. They have no experience in the army, and very few of them have ever used firearms, so how to train them to be mercenaries who know how to use weapons, have a little sense of organization and tactics, and have obedience in the shortest possible time has become the core problem at present.

Sadly, Claude and his former Marines didn't do that very well. They are harsh, even to the point of brutality. As soon as one of the negroes did something wrong, the ex-Marines would rush up to him and either reprimand him with a rant with a myriad of expletives, or beat him with their fists or belts - but beyond that, they had little education.

Simply and brutally dealing with problems often only has the opposite effect, not to mention the fact that because of the racist tradition in the United States, there is already a serious antagonism between blacks and whites, and black mercenaries can easily see the reprimands and beatings of former Marines as discrimination against them. So, while they are rapidly transforming from incompetent civilians to basically qualified mercenaries, the resentment in their hearts is also rapidly increasing.

This was a serious problem that gave Qin Lang more headaches than not having a new rifle. It is disastrous for a soldier to have a strong grudge against his commander, some will shoot his commander in the field, but others will be more direct, shooting his commander in the head in the barracks - this is the case in the army, and in mercenary organizations, the situation will be even worse.

If those blacks are not bold enough, they will choose to resign when they can't stand it; If they had that guts, they would have taken out the ex-marines.

But whatever happens, it will have a negative impact on the company.

However, Qin Lang couldn't think of a way to solve the problem. First, the serious racial tensions between whites and blacks are almost impossible to resolve, second, it is unrealistic to expect marine-trained soldiers to teach in a gentler way, and finally, to a certain extent, he must defend former marines. After all, they are the backbone of the company, and he can't punish them unless their actions are too much.

This never happened, so he could only admonish the ex-marines, but it always had no effect.

"What do you think we should do to solve this problem, Sean?" He asked depressedly.

"I don't know. I don't think there's anything you need to worry about, though, Qin. O'Connor clearly didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, "It's the same way the military trains new recruits. ”

Of course, Qin Lang knew how to train recruits in the army, but Umbrella Security Service Company was not an army, and it did not have the kind of hierarchical system in the army. "Sean, Umbrella is a commercial company, not an army." He shook his head, "The system of the army guarantees the legitimacy of violence from superiors to subordinates, but we don't have that system unless we ......"

"Unless what?"

"Nothing. I was thinking about whether I could create a hierarchy in the company that resembled an army, but then I decided that it wasn't feasible. ”

"Why, Qin?" O'Connor wondered.

"The army is completely different from our mercenary company, Sean." The military can force soldiers to accept its hierarchy and management system, but commercial companies cannot. Moreover, public opinion is much more tolerant of violence in the military, but if the same thing happens in a commercial company, it will inevitably provoke unanimous condemnation from public opinion - even if it is a black person who is reprimanded and beaten.

Although there is racial discrimination in the United States, when it comes to business competition, "black mistreatment" can also be used as an effective weapon of attack.

"You see, how difficult this thing is to deal with." Qin Lang sighed, "If we have a sufficient number of veterans now, I will definitely kick these black people out of the Umbrella immediately." ”

"Rachel is working on it." After a pause, O'Connor suddenly asked strangely: "Qin, I think you have become different recently, not as fierce and capable as before, but ...... Well, you're often intimidated by where things are going these days. ”

Qin Lang showed a smile. "That's true, Sean. Recently, my life has been so boring that I have a lot of time to think about it. I must say that I need a more exciting life. ”

"Like when we were planning to rob a jewelry store?"

"No, it's more exciting than that."

O'Connor's face immediately turned pale. A more exciting life than robbing a jewelry store...... What would that be? Qin Lang likes to do illegal things the most, is he preparing to attack the train? Or blow up the railway? He also had two hundred pounds of zha medicine from Machete's small vault......

"You're thinking too much, Sean." Qin Lang frowned. Just by looking at O'Connor's face, he knew what he was thinking, and it was terrible. "Do you think I only know how to plan crimes?"

"No ......"

"After meeting Browning, I'll go to Los Angeles first." Yishui needs a boat, but San Diego doesn't have a good and cheap boat for sale, so Qin Lang wants to go to Los Angeles and have a look with Kelly. Sheriff Johnson had a serious conversation -- he would go to Los Angeles a lot in the future, so he had to settle the conflict with the sheriff first. "Then, I'm going to go east."

"To the east?"

"Yes, there are some things that have to go east to deal with."

"Okay." O'Connor nodded, "What else?" ”

"When I'm done with the east, I'll go to Abyssinia." Italy's war with Ethiopia took place in 1895, but arms smuggling did not have to wait until after the war began. In fact, Qin Lang felt that if the Ethiopians had obtained a batch of new weapons and enough ammunition, they might have launched an attack on the Italians occupying Eritrea in advance, rather than waiting for the Italians to provoke a war.

In the same way, he could visit the Boers. "Eventually I will go to South Africa."

"To grow your business?"

"Yes, Sean. I'm more worried about Umbrella than the Big Viper Arms business, though. Qin Lang turned his gaze back to the black men who were training, and the former Marines were loudly reprimanding them again. We had a terrible start. ”

"It's going to be fine, Qin." O'Connor smiled, "It's just a tough start." ”
