(PS: Damn, this chapter is so tiring, the devil knows what a private military contractor's business establishment would look like, I can't find any information at all, it's all my own design, and a lot of brain cells die!) ）

After despising Sean's Versailles behavior, the crowd brought the topic back.

What does it mean to be a professional private military contractor?

Sean himself doesn't have much of a concept, all he knows is to take over from the military and then fight!

But how the U.S. military fights, he knows very little, after all, he was a small squad leader when he retired.

Fortunately, there is now an army general and a defense secretary by his side.

John Jr. cites the famous Vietnam War as an example, and he was in Vietnam at the time.

Explain the entire war process to Sean from the high-level planning.

At the end of April 1961, Radius decided to increase the number of military advisers in Vietnam and send the first batch of American special forces, ordered intensified secret warfare, and on May 14, ordered the dispatch of 400 US "special operations forces" and 100 military advisers into South Vietnam.

The so-called covert operations were to collect intelligence by their own hands, and they did not trust the intelligence of Ngo Dinh Diem and his men.

These intelligence officers are also armed personnel, all of whom are special forces, and they have to understand the terrain, geomorphology, hydrology, weather and other natural environments of the team's mission area, record, map and send them back to the United States.

In addition to the natural conditions, it is also necessary to know the local armed situation, the number of armed personnel, the combat skills they are good at, how well they are equipped, and so on.

The U.S. military is very focused on intelligence gathering, especially after the defeat of Korea.

All aspects of intelligence must be personally probed and then summarized to determine what tactics to use, what equipment, how to equip logistics, the choice of medicines, and so on.

During this time, the US military had only one forward base in Vietnam.

It was not until October that the U.S. military began a bombing campaign to support the South Vietnamese army.

By 1964, the U.S. special forces had set up 18 civilian guerrilla self-defense force surveillance camps, and by 1965, they had equipped nearly 20,000 civilian guerrilla self-defense force fighters.

Speaking of this, John Jr. looked at Sean with a smile and said: "Actually, what I said above can be done by the umbrella, and the effect is not necessarily worse than that of the military, but in my opinion, private military contractors are more free to act and more effective because they do not need to bear some of the rules and regulations of the military." ”

"That's what a military contractor should do, in-depth cooperation with the military, not a solitary operation completely detached from the military, as you are now."

Sean nodded heavily when he listened, and now after he formed a protective umbrella, he realized that the combat capability of the US military is indeed very strong, and it is second to none in the world, but their combat capability has been greatly weakened by the system of the 'US military'.

Or the American political system!

In terms of the logistics of the North Stick War, the US troops were tired of eating beef, and they had to eat hot meals every day in the ice and snow, and the officers had to have coffee and black tea.

Give them what they are used to!

This greatly weakened the will of the US military to fight!

The logistics requirements are too high, they are not reasonable at all, and theoretically, the senior logistics officials of the US military should be opposed, at least in the east, they will slap you to death, and return the coffee!

However, the reality is that such a high standard is required by the logistics side, and the higher the logistics standard, the more supporting factories!

Whether it is related or lobbied, a large number of food processing factories, clothing factories, garment factories, and transportation companies dedicated to the US military during the war have made a fortune!

This is capitalism, this is America, war is getting rich, everyone gets rich together.

Then there is the issue of casualties.

Don't the commanders of the US military understand what it means to "fight to the death" and "fight to the death without retreating"?

Very understood!

However, there must not be large casualties, and once the casualties are too large, the opposition parties will jump out to criticize and call for anti-war, and demonstrations and strikes will be set off in the country.

The pressure on the ruling party will be unprecedentedly great, and for the sake of votes, the two powers will harm each other, and the will to fight or something should be abandoned.

In the end, it will become everything by frying and smashing with money!

And these retired soldiers are in Sean's hands, which is a different look.

Logistics?

Still drinking coffee?

Fuck your uncle, Sean can't beat them, and it's not appropriate to take Lao Tzu's money, right?

The logistical support of ordinary soldiers under the umbrella is to be able to eat enough, and it is enough to be fed.

Overseas combat, $3,000 a month's salary, if you don't want to do it, you will quit, what retired soldiers of the U.S. Army have.

Not strong in the will to fight?

Why don't you surrender one to me!

Not to mention surrendering, retreating without an order and being shot on the spot!

In the previous attack on Laayoune, in the street fighting, in the face of the Moroccan army's anti-tank missiles, M60 and armored vehicles were blown up a lot, which was the heaviest loss since its establishment, but when the military order was issued, no one dared to take a step back, saying that they had to rush.

So, these things that Little John said, Sean understood as soon as he heard it.

"The military already has this meaning?" Sean asked with a smile.

"It's not interesting, but it's being implemented, mainly in South America and the Caribbean, some small-scale military operations, outsourced to MPRI, so far, both sides are satisfied, MPRI has made money, the military has reduced a lot of trouble, and everyone is happy."

The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, MPRI was founded by General Lewis, a retired general of the entire U.S. Army, and there is the shadow of the Dupont family behind it, yes, the imitation is Rockefeller.

"How many of them are there?"

"More than 2,000, almost all of them are army, a small number of helicopter gunships cooperate, and there is no navy."

"Don't worry about anything, in Southeast Asia, in the Middle East, in Africa, as long as you want, MPRI can't grab you, you have enough first-mover advantage, the umbrella of the missile destroyer formation can perform a lot of medium and even large tasks, which is absolutely incomparable to MPRI or any other emerging military contractor, the umbrella monopolizes the market." Little John smiled and stretched out a thumbs up, "Oh yes, there's also a short-range ballistic missile formation, which is great." ”

Sean tactically leaned back, (ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~.

It's just that the Navy is too special to burn money.

"Well, I've received your compliment, tell me what kind of tasks you can take, I'll listen."

"Let's talk about the latest one." Little John stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon, picked it up and took a sip to moisten his throat, and then continued: "The US military wants to build a new naval base and an air base in Morocco, and you have done a beautiful job, and those old guys in the military are very happy. ”

Sean smiled and nodded, he also thought it was beautiful, it was originally planned to have only one naval base.

"It's not like there's such a base, it takes a long time for the U.S. military base to be built, and the construction team is also a cooperative unit of the military, you know."

"In this process, a lot of manpower is needed to carry out security and defense work to prevent the enemy from sabotage and detection, which requires 24-hour guarding, and the scope is so large, at least more than 300 people."

"This manpower can be from the military, or it can be outsourced, it's a coincidence, you have a lot of people here, the price, 2 million per month is a very reasonable number."

Sean thought about it for a while, 300 people, in addition to salaries and logistics support, and half of the profits, the cost of the logistics umbrella is very low, 300 US dollars per capita is enough per month, it is a garrison mission, there is no danger.

For this kind of non-dangerous task, can the salary be reduced a little?

Like half?

Sean couldn't help but rub his chin, what is a capitalist behavior!

If the military sends people themselves, 3 million per month may not be enough......

Public's!

"It's done!" Sean smiled and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Many!" John Jr. smiled: "For example, here in Syria, the security work of the embassy and military and government personnel, you know the Kurds, the branch is in the border areas of YLK, YL, Syria, and Tuji, and the military and government have always been in contact with them, and they are ready to support the independence movement and the like, and there are many short-term tasks." ”

"Military intelligence missions in the territory of YLS and YL, in Yemen, some material escort missions in Afghanistan, training and armed support of the opposition in Libya, and so on, are too many."

"For the military, this kind of small task is cumbersome, the danger is completely unpredictable, and it is very troublesome, but for private military contractors, it is simple, collect money, do things, and even if it fails, at most part of the money can be refunded according to the contract, it is too simple."

"If there had been a private contractor, Mr. Reagan would not have been implicated in the delivery of weapons to YL."

"You should have gotten in a security company earlier instead of selling fake wine!" Weinberg had no choice but to spread his hands, good Secretary of Defense, gone!

Sean Hart laughed out loud, Yuri can do this kind of thing selling weapons to YL.

Now Yuri is the largest private arms dealer in South America, whether it is cheap and easy-to-use Chinese equipment, or high-quality American goods, or a walk-behind tractor, a must-have artifact for mechanization in the rainforest, what you want!

Door-to-door delivery, the mission must be achieved!

In Southeast Asia, Neil is not only a guarantee company, but also has his hands on the arms market, whether you are a drug offender or a rebel, no matter what you want, as long as you give money, the goods will be delivered to you.

The reason why he dares to shout like this is because of the cooperation of Sean's shipping company and port company, the shipping network throughout the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, and it is very simple.

"Well, there's a lot of work that can be done, and I didn't have a good operational development of the umbrella before." Sean folds his hands and admits his mistake.

"You think that's the end of it?" Weinberg pursed his lips and smiled.

"Uh...... Or else? Sean shrugged.

"More cooperation from government departments!" Weinberg said with a smile: "This world is not only the United States, the United Kingdom, and the East, but most countries and regions are actually at war, and the government visits are not all presidents or secretaries of state, and middle-level officials are the most." ”

"They're going to need a lot of professional security personnel when they're visiting Africa, the Caribbean, South America, the Middle East, and so on, and that's a huge number, and the CIA doesn't want to do that, well, no department wants to do that."

"The salary is too low, not to mention, the danger is too high, it will expose yourself to the public, and there is not a little oil and water."

"Oh, that's not a problem for us at all, no one is going to try to bribe a security company, and we're not afraid to expose our looks." Sean nodded, "Anything else?" ”

"Of course." Weinberg continued: "The training of police departments in various cities, do you know how many police officers there are in the United States? Let's say that there are more than 30,000 people in New York, who retire every month, and new people come in every month, and the police is a very dangerous job. ”

"And our police and contract employment system, the police's own training department is simply ...... It sucks! ”

"The police need training, and the military actually needs a lot of training, and not a boot camp can solve all problems, and professional training programs and venues are in great demand." John Jr. added, "And the military has a high operating cost." ”

This time, without waiting for Sean to continue asking, Shen Bi took over and said: "You think this is the end, there are still commercial, due to some inconvenient reasons, there are many pirates in the world, the demand for shipping protection has skyrocketed, and the current market is very chaotic." ”

Sean rolled his eyes.

"Do you know how many companies in the U.S., Europe have in places like Africa and South America? Do you know how many armed escorts they need? ”

"At least more than 500,000!"

"So much!" Sean was taken aback.

"It's still not to say, in fact, before the umbrella did not rise, there was already a large market for mercenaries, there is a magazine in the United States called "Mercenaries", which has been there since 1975, dedicated to introducing various mercenary organizations around the world, well, illegal publications, but they sell a lot within a specific range, such as the world's first small mercenary group, the Arctic Fox!"

"It's just that the market is chaotic, and no one has carefully counted how big this market is, but now that there is an umbrella, several orders of $1 billion have made many people around the world see the prospects of the mercenary market, and naturally someone will analyze and predict."

"That's why so many military contracts have been established all of a sudden, you don't really think it's purely for the national interest, right?" Shen Bi deliberately looked at Sean with contempt.

Sean gasped, for the sake of money, it would be even worse!

There is a common phenomenon in the entire Western society, that is, if the combat effectiveness of a soldier during his service is 5, then once he retires, his combat effectiveness will immediately double, and each of them will be superhuman.

This is especially prominent in Mexico and Colombia, where the umbrella is well understood, and the mafia developed by the hemp finch in Colombia, except for the second-line personnel who withdrew from the umbrella, most of the backbone is Colombian retired police personnel, soldiers, and special forces.

After all, during your service, you will earn very little money, and even if you die, the pension will be pitiful, and the remaining orphans and widows will 100% fall into poverty, and drug criminals and rebels will take revenge on the fighters of the time if they suffer heavy losses.

You can never expect the military or police in these two countries to withhold personal information, and your family will be subject to reprisals.

Therefore, when fighting with drug criminals, they are all messing up, and the tactical movements are old and standard, all of them are stroke designs, moving forward is creeping, and backward is flying.

And once you retire, you will immediately receive a new job offer, the salary is only a few times that of a government job, and you will never have to worry about the government retaliating against your family or something, and drug offenders will not be stingy with pensions to buy people's hearts.

So, a lot of times it's the same people who are fighting each other, and they were ex-teammates a few days ago.

If that combat power can be exerted, there will be ghosts.

"At present, I have received several business forecasts that the global mercenary or military security business market is more than $100 billion!"

"Poof, how much!" Sean spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"100 billion, it's just not fully developed, only a lot more, and the data comes from a few large accounting firms and banks." Shen Bi said with a serious face: "Mercenaries are illegal, you have to understand, so they are very opaque, and only the accounting firms and banks that know the Xian money market best have the right to speak." ”

"In a diamond mine in Africa, several companies or tribes compete with each other, relying on mercenaries, and according to the information we have obtained, Angola alone spends more than $300 million a year on mercenaries because of the competition for diamond mines."

"All kinds of other gem mines, oil fields, gold, silver and other precious metal mines, you know, there are no bullshit laws in Africa, guns here are the criterion that determines everything, the mining area is controlled by you today, tomorrow it may be changed, the labor cost is almost negligible, the rest is how to hire more and better security personnel." Shen Bi sighed twice, he really didn't know if he didn't investigate, and he was shocked when he investigated.

What Sean didn't know was that in his previous life, after the Gulf War, the U.S. military occupied YLK but encountered various difficulties, knife-bled and heavy losses, and Lao Bu stepped down, which made the government and the military aware of some problems, and the development of the military contracting market entered the fast lane.

It was only after 911 in 2001 that the military contracting market entered an explosive period, and at its peak, the market was as high as more than $560 billion.

In 2015, G4S became the world's largest security company, employing more than 620,000 people, the third largest private sector in the world, behind Walmart and Foxconn.

There are tens of thousands of security companies in the UK, and the number of legal private guards on the register has reached 250,000, and even more are not registered, while the police in the UK have a total of 150,000......

"Well, it seems that we are all underestimating this market." Sean shook his head with emotion.

"yes, who would have thought that, damn it." Shen Bi also sighed.

John Jr. and Weinberg next to him were also full of surprise on their faces, they could just think of what jobs the umbrella company could take, but they really didn't know how big the global military contracting market was.

The figure of 100 billion also scared the two, you must know that military contracting is not about selling towels and socks or something, and the profit of military contracting is not less than 100%.

Doesn't that mean......

Hiss!!!

"Okay, then we'll have to discuss the reorganization of the umbrella." Sean clapped his hands and said loudly, "First, what departments does the company need?" I think it's the logistics department, the sales department, the combat department, the purchasing department, the transportation department, the medical department, ......"

"Alright, don't show off!" Shen Bi glanced at Sean contemptuously again, "The latter few can be completely classified as logistics." ”

After that, ignoring the black-faced Sean, Shen Bi looked at Little John, "After all, it is a company that focuses on military battles, can the system be built according to the military?" ”

Little John nodded, "Of course, at present, it seems that there are not many combatants, as long as the backbone is simplified and retained, if it really develops into more than a country's army, then it can be expanded at that time, and at present, this can reduce unnecessary employees and expenses, and also provide enough room for future promotions." ”

"What do you mean by professionalism?" Shen Bi pointed at Little John, but his eyes looked at Sean.

The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, his mind was full of black lines, he found that the UK has made a lot of big moves recently, and Lorraine and Shen Bi, the two Brits, are very jumping!

This arrogance must be defeated!

The world's number one private military contractor can and must be itself!

As a result of the study, the corporate mechanism of the umbrella private military security contractor abandons the normal corporate business model and builds on the existing structure of the military.

It is only divided into two parts: operations and logistics, and there is no sales department.

The War Department is subdivided into three parts: combat, intelligence, and staff officers.

Among them, the main battle is divided into two parts: the navy and the army.

Since the Air Force currently only has helicopters, it is divided, with some following the Navy and some following the Army.

BFIPU, as the name suggests, is responsible for gathering available intelligence around the world, and Armstrong's consulting firm was regrouped and expanded into BFIPU.

There are certain changes in the General Staff, which is mainly responsible for assessing the risk of receiving a mission to make an estimate of the mission, as well as the changes that may be encountered during the mission, so as to make an accident plan for the captain of the implementation team.

The reason why the sales department was canceled is because you can't come to your door and tell anyone, you're dangerous, someone is going to kill you, hire us to keep you safe......

The business is completely through advertising and publicity, so that people in need can come to the door by themselves, the evaluation has a staff department, the approval has a regional head and a team of secretaries, and the specific selection of who to perform is determined by the nature of the task, the requirements of the owner, and the expertise of the team.

Of course, it is impossible for the regional person in charge not to know that he is doing the job at all, and the person in charge also has KPIs!

The other is the logistics department.

The logistics department will be very large, divided into two groups: transportation and procurement.

Transportation: As the name suggests, it is mainly to transport the team that needs to perform the task to the destination, and there must be a transportation network on land, sea and air.

The reason for this trouble is that the combat team has familiar weapons and equipment to carry with them, and many of the firearms are modified.

This is desperate work, and weapons and equipment must be at hand.

Guns, cannons, and bazookas, whether it is civil aviation or shipping, you will not be allowed to carry weapons, so the logistics department needs to have its own airport, shipping or land transportation network.

Procurement: up to all kinds of missiles, planes, artillery, guns, ammunition, intermediate medical equipment, below clothing, shoes and hats.

A good military boot and socks can make you go in the field for a few days without taking off your shoes at a critical moment without getting infected with athlete's foot, you can't imagine what it's like to sit on the ground and pick your feet frantically on the ground here.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and buttocks wiping paper all need to be purchased, and its procurement complexity is certainly not as complicated as that of the US military, but compared with many small countries, it is too much exceeded.

Isn't it, mud!

In addition to transportation and procurement, the logistics team also has two lower-level agencies, medical, maintenance and legal.

Medical care is generally in cooperation with local hospitals, and there are usually medics in the combat team, so it is best to be able to send them to the local hospital.

If the local conditions are difficult and the scale of the fighting is large enough, a field medical team is built.

There are fewer people in the maintenance team, mainly for large equipment, helicopters, tanks, and emergency repairs of electronic equipment, if you can't find someone again, Deyang can provide equipment maintenance anywhere in the world, even the most advanced fighter jets can be repaired, but Deyang's fees are too fucking expensive.

Finally, the legal department, in addition to the American lawyers at the headquarters, has to hire local legal professionals as consultants to perform tasks in different regions, and the legal thing is like a bitch's belt, which can be loose or tight.

In the end, it depends on how to dredge, with the help of locals, many things can be solved.

Solve small problems by yourself, don't trouble Sean again.

In addition to the two departments of operations and logistics, there are also personnel departments and finance departments managed by Sean, the boss.

The Department of Personnel is responsible for recruiting fighters from all over the world, and in the future, it will carry out missions around the world, and will no longer recruit only U.S. troops.

For example, in the mission in Morocco, it is completely possible to recruit a group of Moroccan retired soldiers, with the US military as the backbone and the Moroccans as the branches, which is more suitable for carrying out relevant tasks in Morocco.

At least the same language, culture and other aspects can reduce the hostility of the locals, increase work efficiency, and greatly reduce costs.

The Moroccan Army is not required to pay an allowance for overseas missions.

The Moroccan contract can be signed every three years, and after the construction of the navy and air base is completed, there will be no need for so many people.

In other words, the employees of the umbrella now do not have a contract period...... When they knew this, Little John and Shen Bi were stunned.

Sean can only spread his hands, the original purpose of the umbrella is to legally hold guns, protect the counterfeit wine business and the territory, and what he does is a violation, how can there be a contract period.

It's a legal gangster at all, and Sean is going to give them a pension.

Later, although there were more people, Sean took them to do more illegal things...... What kind of contract are you doing!

Like Robert J. Brown, who commanded the battleship, A. Owens, can Sean get him out of the way when his contract expires?

This matter can only be left to the personnel department to slowly find a way to solve, and a reasonable contract and salary structure can greatly increase the income level of the umbrella.

After the framework of each department was established, Sean looked at the umbrella company again, wow, it was formalized at once!

Tactical backlash, what is the world's number one private military contractor. JPG

At this point, the task of Little John and Weinberg is temporarily over, and the structure is there, but where to start to transform it, that is Shen Bi's performance moment.

"In terms of the current umbrella situation, the reorganization should start with the establishment of the personnel department and the finance department."

"The personnel department should reformulate all the existing employee contracts, divide them into different grades, different reward and punishment systems, and at the same time carry out the financial department to sort out the existing financial system on a large scale."

"After the personnel and financial rights are clear, it is necessary to set up branches according to the continent, and after the establishment of the continental-level branches, the branches of the main business countries will be established, and on this basis, we can divide the business, so that we can calculate the scale of the combat department, and recruit on this basis."

"The logistical aspects can also be set up in a more orderly manner, with a prioritization and increased efficiency to avoid waste."

Shen Bi talked eloquently, filling the muscles on the basis of the frame, and making the rules in order, which made Sean suddenly open up and slapped him hard: Yes, that's what I thought!

he

tui！
