Chapter 5 Sky-high Remuneration? Funeral expenses!
The white fox left Mito Castle happily, taking with him a check for 10 million.
This is not a gratuity, but only a deposit.
In many people's minds, mercenaries are a very lucrative profession.
Of course, this is talking about those professional groups composed of retired soldiers from military powers, not the kind of black uncle who can hire one for a few dollars, only shoots in the sky, and hits all depends on the will of God, and uses it to make a move.
But in reality?
The annual income of professional mercenaries in most private military companies is actually more than 100,000 US dollars, and when there are combat missions, it may increase to 200,000 or 300,000 yuan.
Even a top-level mercenary group like the Arctic Fox generally takes on a mission, ranging from tens to millions at a time, and according to an average of twenty missions a year, the annual income is only one or two million.
Excluding the updated maintenance equipment and some regular consumption, thirty or forty people can get one point, and almost everyone can earn three or five hundred thousand a year.
This kind of income can only be said to be two or three times higher than the ordinary middle class in Europe and the United States, but the risk is I don't know how many levels, maybe one day the destiny will be gone, even if you are lucky to survive to the end, your old age is often riddled with all kinds of injuries.
This is also the reason why mercenaries like to splurge after making money, because they never know if they have a tomorrow.
And now, Li Lan's price for the Arctic Fox this time is as high as a staggering 100 million US dollars!
After deducting the corresponding expenses, in the end, there is no problem with each member of the team sharing 20 million, which is enough for the entire group to retire in place.
With such a high commission temptation, Li Lan's little request is not a problem at all, and the Arctic Fox Mercenary Group is willing to sell their lives directly.
Of course, if the commission is high, it naturally means that the task is not simple.
According to Li Lan, this time the Arctic Fox's mission is to face an ancient African tribe called the Taoraki, with a population of tens of thousands and thousands of troops.
It's just that after Li Lan said the goal of this mission, the white fox almost laughed out loud, and directly regarded Li Lan as a noble mallet who didn't eat minced meat.
That's right, tens of thousands of people, thousands of troops, and the entire Arctic Fox now has only thirty-nine armed men.
1000:39 seems like a huge disparity.
But is modern warfare so compared?
As the most chaotic region on the earth, they have no shortage of tasks in Africa, and the troops they are facing are not tens of thousands? Were they afraid?
You must know that their members are all retired from the world's top military powers, and they are extremely well-equipped.
Helicopter gunships, armored vehicles, that's all trivial.
Attacking a small African tribe is a breeze.
"My lord, such a task can be completed by my Iga Department, and there is no need to spend such a big price to hire these foreigners!" With a high price of 100 million US dollars, not only did the white fox treat Li Lan as Kaizi, but even the little maid Miyamoto Kojima Sanae next to him felt a little that the head of his family was not good after the evil spirit, and he was crazy.
Tokugawa Hidelan's two little maids are not just maids, Kojima Sanae is an Iga ninja.
Iga ninjas have been attached to the Tokugawa shogunate since the Warring States period, and as the "deputy general of the world" set by Tokugawa Ieyasu himself, the Mito Tokugawa family naturally has a lot of Iga ninja serving.
Although there is no legendary Iga Kamishinobi family, it is not bad, and it has always been the periphery of the Mito Tokugawa family, controlling the underground forces of the entire Mito City.
Sanae Kojima is an elite ninja trained by Iga Shinobi since childhood.
And the other maid, Miwa Miyamoto, is not a ninja, but a kendo master like Tokugawa Hideran, who often acts as Tokugawa Hideran's sparring partner.
It is precisely for this reason that in Sanae Kojima's view, an African tribe can choose a few hundred good players from Mito City, led by the elite of the Iga tribe, and then buy some weapons and send them to Africa - the times are different, and the modern Iga ninja can not only use short knives and shurikens, but also all kinds of firearms are also handy.
The entire process can cost up to several million dollars.
"What? Are you questioning me? Li Lan didn't answer directly, but rebuked with a slightly cold face.
"Don't dare!" In the face of Li Lan's reprimand, Sanae Kojima suddenly became clever and immediately knelt down to ask for guilt.
"Hmph, do you really think it's just an ordinary African tribe? Do you believe it or not, once the things enshrined in that tribe are born, let alone a few dozen mercenaries, even if the main army group of the United States goes, it will be in vain? Seeing the maid's interest, Li Lan's face returned to normal, and said coldly, "The deposit of 10 million is just for their funeral expenses, as for the remaining 90 million, just go back and burn some dark coins for them!" ”
Are the main armies of the United States blind? Is it so scary? Hearing Li Lan's words, Sanae and Miwa were both a little incredulous.
However, he didn't dare to question Li Lan anymore.
"In addition, this matter is extraordinary, it is not suitable to make too much noise, and using our own manpower is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble, but with outsiders like them, it is not a big problem!" Li Lan picked up the teacup in front of him, took a leisurely sip and added.
"But if that's the case, why would the head of the family take the risk himself?" Meihe on the side asked softly at this time, they had all heard the previous conversation, and they knew that Li Lan was going to Africa in person!
"If I had a choice, I didn't want to risk it myself, but if I didn't go, how could I possibly get approval for that thing?" Li Lan said with a slight sigh.
That thing? Does it refer to the African tribes that are not even feared by the American army?
What kind of thing is it that makes Lord Xiulan pay so much attention and desire to risk himself?
The two little maids said they couldn't imagine it.
"Hehe, don't talk about this, but Sanmiao, you dared to question me just now, hehe, this is an unforgivable sin!" Li Lan waved his hand, changed the topic and said.
"My lord, Sanae only cares about you, so please forgive her!" Hearing that Li Lan didn't seem to be ready to bypass Sanae, Miwa couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly pleaded.
"Hmph, if you dare to intercede for the prisoner, Mei and you can't escape punishment, and this family has to whip you in person!" In the face of Meihe's plea, the corners of Li Lan's mouth showed a hint of an evil smile and said.
Seeing Li Lan's smile and saying that she was going to whip them personally, she was still a little nervous that the head of her family was really angry and the maid was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of pink rose on her face.
Since waking up from the last evil incident, the head of their family seems to have changed in many ways.
In the words of comparing Akihabara, it is to become very bad and very "gentleman"!
It's just such a change, Miwa (Sanae) likes it so much!
"Hmph, what are you doing in a daze? Do you want me to do it myself? Seeing the two of them stunned, Li Lan's face smiled even more.
Although the two maids were very shy, under Li Lan's order, they still walked in front of him very obediently, took off their kimonos, and waited for the punishment that their family master was about to initiate.
Ah, this corrupt life of the wealthy is so depraved!
Looking at the two beautiful girls obediently prostrate in front of him, Li Lan let out a heartfelt sigh!
I don't know if I'll be able to live until the day the Demon Realm invasion ends, so enjoy it now!
