The legal name for modern mercenaries is armed contractors, and the industry is always expanding or shrinking in size as the world changes, but it has never disappeared.

The British mercenaries of the sixties and seventies of the last century, the American mercenaries at the end of the last century, and the Russian mercenaries of the last decade, mentioned by the head of the 18th Bureau of Operations, Lao Chiang, represent the very important characteristics of these three periods.

Britain left a considerable number of veterans after World War II, and World War II led to the awakening of global nationalism, and there were British colonies everywhere fighting for independence.

Although this is irreversible from the gradual disappearance of colonialism, the colonies of the empire on which the sun never sets are still independent one by one, the fundamental reason is that Britain itself is no longer the world's largest power, and does not have the ability to control the global colonies, but this group has always allowed modern mercenaries to officially step on the stage and find a platform to intervene in military politics in the name of justice.

Since then, although France's defeat at Dien Bien Phu in Yuelan has also been hung with the title of mercenary, the scale is not as large as the historical significance of Britain's global flowering after World War II, and mercenaries seem to have fallen silent, only sporadically until the second Gulf War of the United States.

The Americans learned from the experience of the Vietnam War and the first Gulf War, and in order to avoid the regular army falling into the sea of people's war under the pressure of public opinion, they recruited a large number of armed contractors to be put into Iraq。

This is the peak of the real sense of modern mercenaries, the veterans of the entire European and American camps have been transformed into armed contractors in large numbers, and at the peak there were more than 100,000 mercenaries all over the world.

There is also price competition in this industry, many European and American countries are special forces discharged, and they are familiar with NATO's operational rules, of course, they are the best to use, but the price is high, the weekly salary is usually tens of thousands of dollars, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars in this gear are also willing to work, plus the traditional style of Cossack mercenaries, it is also relatively strong, so it is very able to grab some market.

Then around 2008, the entire industry shrank with the withdrawal of a large number of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, and as a result, Russia and NATO fell into a collision in Eastern Europe.

The greatest significance of this group lies in the fact that the tactics of armed contractors, which were once the only ones in the world by the United States, have been used by the Russian government to provide armed support for various sensitive areas without violating international treaties.

Speaking of which, there are no eloquent and strategic guys in the country, and tens of millions of mercenaries across the country have been integrated into large companies, so when the surrounding wars from Chechnya to Georgia have burned out, and finally burned to Vugelan himself, the mercenaries are completely scattered, and they have joined the melee of various forces according to their ethnic and political beliefs.

To be honest, the fact that Woogrand will be in this mess is also related to the small mercenary organizations that fought their own battles everywhere in the early days, which is equivalent to small bandits and small warlords everywhere.

At most, there are hundreds of clubs and companies, Buck is just a small one, but they can also be listed on both NATO and Russia, whether it is a single soldier or a company, it is a little famous, it is impossible to say that they all know, but there are still many opportunities to meet other people when they gather together to fight.

It's just that I haven't met any organizations I know in the first two times, but this time it's still a bit of a blessing to meet an old man in a foreign country, and only one person from Buck came to see the excitement, and more than a dozen mercenaries crowded in the truck dragged Buck into the car!

The judge is a military doctor, which is very useful on the battlefield, and people are quite happy to accept it.

The off-road performance of the truck in the former Soviet Union is good, directly crushing over the hills on the side of the road to bypass the traffic jam, sitting in the rickety body, Buck also knew the situation in a few words, since the flight crashed in the east of Vuglan, the capital government couldn't wait to announce that it was shot down by the eastern rebels, so the rebels kept summoning all kinds of armed forces to the crash site, as far as possible to protect the scene and wait for investigation, and return their innocence.

It seems that it is because he has traveled to the entire war-torn area with Lord Gussef that Buck correctly avoided the government army, and the mercenary friends in messy camouflage uniforms shared the situation: "The government troops are all pushed from Kyiv to Kharkov like this, to protect NATO security officials and aviation experts to the scene, but they don't need mercenaries, Russia recruits a large number of mercenaries to go, we are from this side, isn't the entire southeast part of the rebels?"

No wonder I didn't meet these old mercenaries last time, it turns out that Russia has just begun to pay for the original Vugelan mercenaries, and Buck has always thought that the former eastern rebels were sent by Russia itself.

In the last two hundred kilometers, it was obvious that armed men were gathering from time to time, and Buck finally saw the faces one after another, and those old mercenaries finally began to appear!

It seems that compared to the rebels who were gathered purely for political and ethnic reasons, they are only now starting to recruit mercenaries with money, and I think that if the men of Blue Shield do not leave and hide in Poland or other surrounding places, they will also sneak out to take business orders because of money.

By the time he jumped out of the dirty truck, Buck, who had been wearing a jacket, T-shirt and jeans, had already covered a thin camouflage torn military uniform, the only backpack was covered with a camouflage cloth, and the other torn camouflage cloth was tied around his head and wrapped into a turban, and the original green Arabic turban was wrapped around his neck and could be covered by the way.

The image of a second-rate soldier who is alive and well.

The result of the random addition is that the weapon can only be used, an AK74 rifle with a folded butt and hung on his waist, anyway, how lazy he looks, it looks like it is back to the photo that Xiang Wan has been talking about when he found it.

Speaking of which, Buck has always been a bit out of shape, and it seems that he has been infected by these mercenaries.

But looking at the entire military intelligence department of China, who can infiltrate the big family of armed forces like Buck?
