Chapter 118 Company Positioning
(There is also a second update)
The quickest way for the crown prince to visit the colony was to take a special plane, because Albert had kept it secret before leaving, so except for a few high-ranking people who knew Albert's whereabouts, no one else knew about it. And the security personnel He also arranged for members of the Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperation Company, as Ander, who followed Albert to fight the world in the early days, James, Allen and Vitek were naturally among the ranks of the security personnel.
The nuclear bombing of Belgium stopped the Soviets from attacking, and the result was a resurgence of Soviet resentment towards Belgium. However, Albert was already immune to previous assassinations, so the members of a Belgian special air service company plus the escort of his own private military operations personnel also stood out.
The scene at Brussels Airport was amusement, as heavily armed soldiers in camouflage uniforms escorted a young man through the airport's aisles to his plane while escorting a group of private military security guards wearing peaked caps and tactical vests to his plane.
"Anyway, you don't look like a low-key person at all." Tianyan glanced at the soldiers with loaded guns on the left and right, and in order to unify the pace, the soldiers of the special air service company this time were replaced with AKM rifles. Although the Belgian Army officially adopted the FAL rifle as the basic equipment of the army, the AKM rifle was also used by special forces personnel for the simple reason that the cheap and durable AKM rifle has become popular in the international community.
"I'm warning the Soviets not to play any tricks in disguise." Albert replied.
After the early orders skyrocketed, in the AKM rifle segment, the FN company can no longer squeeze much profit. However, the arsenals of some countries have restricted the sale of AKM rifles due to various reasons such as policies. Albert then proposed the gradual sale of production licenses to certain arsenals.
The South African T.K.S Light Weapons Manufacturing Company bought the license to produce AKM, and as a South African businessman who pursued no bottom line of profit, he was faced with the entire African market, and except for the colonies, there was basically no country in the military industry that could surpass him. So the AKM rifles began to be mass-produced and sold to the careerists of the colonies at a low price. Those who took advantage of the shaky dominance of the capitalist countries of Europe to get a piece of the pie.
Under the influence of South African Prime Minister Jan Smith's aggressive foreign policy, unscrupulous businessmen have sold weapons to other colonial countries, whether it is the government or opposition fighters, as long as you can afford it, I will sell you guns, and for a time the African black market was flooded with a large number of South African versions of AKM rifles. This practice also laid the groundwork for later anti-colonial-campaigns.
As a result, there is a vague trend of flooding of AKM rifles in Africa, because the armed forces of the Congolese authorities have been able to obtain AKM rifles produced by FN company, which are of much better quality than those made in South Africa, so that AKM has not flooded the Congolese black market market.
Albert repeatedly stressed to the colonial governor that the whites of the Congo had the right to self-defense with small-caliber pistols, but blacks were absolutely not allowed to own guns! If a black person is found to be in possession of a firearm, he or she is sentenced to more than 10 years in prison, and in the worst case, he or she may be shot directly.
It takes more than a dozen hours to fly from Brussels to Engilli's airport in Leopoldville, and the plane has to be refueled en route, so Albert has time to rest. At this time, Albert was still in the stage of high spirits, and he couldn't sleep, so he simply picked up a data report and looked at it.
"Boss, why do we have to act with the military? Is there a few of us that the boss is afraid that he won't be able to beat those black people? Unable to sleep, James stepped forward to complain in front of Albert, and for him this was an act of distrust from the boss.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm afraid of death." Albert didn't bother to lift his head as he flipped through the information and replied nonchalantly.
Seeing that the boss was unwilling to deal with him, James, who was bored with himself, had no choice but to fiddle with his AKM rifle, and no one was allowed to load live on the plane, and the magazine had to be unloaded and handed over to the armory box for safekeeping. Once bitten by a snake and afraid of the well rope for ten years, Albert was extremely careful about the assassination. Who knows if any of these people will be traitors who have been bought with a lot of money.
"Are you afraid of something happening?" Seeing the way Albert waits for him, even his partner Victor is amused. However, Albert finally put down the information in his hand and began to explain it to the guys.
"The place we're going to next is the Congo, where policing measures are not as serious and touching as in Belgium, and yes, a group of poor, backward and ignorant blacks are entrenched in this place, and they make up the vast majority." Albert paused, then added, "And you all bring me a full set of Ann-Guards, and keep the gun in your hand and the gun in your crotch." ”
Everyone laughed heartily, but Albert was the only one who couldn't laugh. AIDS originated in the Congo in Africa, and there were people who won the bid long before the outbreak in the eighties. So Albert had to keep these people from messing around with Africans, lest they bring AIDS into Belgium.
But that's all Albert can do, after all, there are many Belgiums working in Congo. The colonists were not something he could control.
"I don't know what happened to the Krob family recently, they haven't heard anything about such a big riot, it seems that this group of mafias is not very reliable." Old George, who was originally the main force of a dark line, didn't even let out a fart, Albert said that he was very dissatisfied, and he would personally come to the door to ask for guilt.
"With only two reserve infantry divisions in the Belgian colonies, and the police recruited by the police department, it is extremely difficult to manage such a large territory. However, as long as the State can afford to pay for it, private military contractors can outsource security patrols in some areas to the Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperative Company. ”
The Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperative is Albert's private company, and while it is suspected of enriching its own pockets, it does reduce the pressure on the Congolese authorities to be understaffed. And as Albert's own army, it is much better than outsourcing to other security companies that don't know the details. And this kind of outsourcing was not uncommon in later generations, most notably private military companies that sprang up in Iraq.
The Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperative has a violent combination of a Wrangler Jeep and a vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine gun, and for the Congolese without heavy weapons, the armed Wrangler armed with three general-purpose machine guns is equivalent to the Tiger tank.
"Victor, how many paramilitary operatives do we have in our Congolese division?" Albert asked how far he was calculating how far his business in the Congo could now expand.
"About eighty people." Victor, who had only contacted an old Congolese friend a few days ago, blurted out without thinking.
"It's only eighty people, isn't it a little less?" Hearing this number, Albert frowned dissatisfied, he hadn't paid attention to the company's movements for too long, and Albert's information was blocked. Moreover, compared with the scale of 430 people in China, the number of branches of the strategic resource cooperative company in the Congo is still a little smaller.
"No way, head. It's good to be able to maintain this number of people. Victor made a settlement with Albert, "We have such a pitiful business in Congo, at most we help people with homes and nursing homes." If it weren't for this violent clashes, those military operatives would not even have fired their guns. If it weren't for the salary offered by the boss, these people would have been withdrawn to the country a long time ago. ”
Albert was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that this situation was a mistake of his own making, and he had left those people in the Congo in the first place to cultivate seeds. In fact, it no longer makes sense for the Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperation Company to stay in Europe, where the world is stable, and it is better to relocate the company to Africa in advance so as to get a share of the national independence movement in the future.
"Don't worry, the company will not only expand its staff, but also relocate its headquarters to the Congo." Albert said.
"Huh? Boss, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously. Victor was in a hurry, he really just mentioned it in passing, but he didn't expect the boss to want to even move the company's headquarters to Congo.
Albert smiled silently, leaving Victor alone to slowly tangle with it, and by this time he already had an idea in his mind, that is, not only to make Strategic Resources Cooperation a private military contractor, but also to make it an armed force to be reckoned with in Europe.
A company with tanks, planes, and heavy artillery, specializing in fighting small-scale battles and paying for oil and ore mining rights. Albert wanted to do a much bigger business than the South African EO, and the mineral resource companies throughout Africa that needed to be protected in the war zone would be their customers.
At that time, no African warlord will dare to eat enough to provoke himself. Albert's heart was full of lust. >
