Chapter 53: Divide the Money! Consume!
The stronger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.
Chen Shen undoubtedly understands this truth.
Moreover, the conditions offered by the jackal are indeed very attractive---- a tank can't do the job, but if there is follow-up equipment support from Chesri, it is really capable.
Moreover, it is not just "equipment sharing", but a serious "identity sharing".
What does Chesri do? They are defense companies, and they produce munitions!
They can produce not only armored vehicles, but also tanks, and even warships.
Judging from the current situation, Chesri will definitely establish his own power in northern Myanmar, which means that the support of the northern Myanmar branch will only get stronger and stronger.
Maybe one day, they'll actually be able to drive tanks here.
A beautiful future...... But the problem is that if you want to fish in the wind and waves, you have to see if your boat can withstand the strong winds.
The question of the ownership of the King of Thailand is too big, although the jackal swears that absolutely no one will pursue it, but can he guarantee a hammer?
All he can guarantee is "under normal circumstances" and that no one will pursue it afterwards.
In his opinion, this is just an "explanation" after all, and it is not to kill people in order to keep secrets.
But in reality? There are always people who don't want this explanation to land.
Or to put it more bluntly, this is a dart mission, the dart is here, everything is fine, if the dart is not reached, you will die.
In other words, the prognosis of the task is likely to be good, and as soon as the boots land, the relevant parties will no longer waste their efforts and resources.
But the process of the task is extremely dangerous.
Therefore, Chen Shen did not immediately reply to the jackal, but planned to think about it first.
Jackal also expressed his understanding of his choice.
“...... We don't have to find the Dongfeng Corps, in fact, other mercenary regiments, including the Wood Ghosts, can also do this. ”
"However, it is not just a matter of strength, what we think about the most is 'purity'."
"You have no foundation in Mengka, and your entanglement with other forces is also very shallow, which is your advantage, and it is also the reason why we prefer you."
"If we can do this mission well, our alliance will become logical....... This is a treatment that other mercenary groups absolutely cannot and cannot enjoy. ”
"Anyway, you think about it, we are not in a hurry for the time being."
"Understood, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
Chen Shen nodded in reply, and then sent the jackal out of the room.
After returning to the living room, the other three members of the Dongfeng Legion were already waiting for him there.
Seeing him come in, Shi Dakai, as always, spoke first:
"Captain, what the jackal said...... Something to do with the King of Thailand? ”
Chen Shen nodded slightly, not denying it.
In fact, he didn't deliberately avoid the other three when he talked to the jackal just now, and Shi Dakai happened to understand a few English words, including numbers, so he pieced together the two messages of "Rama" and "nine", and guessed that they were talking about the king of Thailand.
However, this is not a "leak", because ---- fact that it cannot be concealed at all.
BBC news has already broken the news that Rama IX is seriously ill, coupled with the two sensitive information of Chiang Saen and Phra Mangying, the vast majority of people involved in this incident, even including Wan Hunai and the previous Puyi Commercial Bank, are estimated to have guessed the truth of the matter.
There is no need to hide from one's teammates, but it is in the best interests of the Corps to gather information and be honest with each other.
Therefore, Chen Shen simply told the jackal about the task situation.
"Why did they want that woman to die? Want to cover up the truth? ”
Shi Dakai continued to ask.
"It's not a matter of covering up the truth, the truth can't be covered, they're just trying to remove that sword of Damocles."
"Jiya should be damned because she is a Western journalist, unlike us, she can be used to pry some public opinion."
"No one will believe the words of a mercenary and drug dealer who licks blood from the knife in northern Burma, but her words can be used to attack the crown prince's opponents, namely Prayut Chan-o-cha or Sirindhorn...... So, you get the idea, right? ”
"Got it."
Shi Dakai nodded silently, and then asked:
"But if we participate, will we also be eliminated---- right, we now know, will we be eliminated?"
"It's definitely not going to be now, there are many people who can guess this, and they are all gone, what's the matter, fighting a world war?"
Chen Shen shook his head and continued to explain:
"However, if we do meddle in Jiya's affairs again, then maybe."
"Chesri won't do it because they have to maintain neutrality in order to keep the business going."
"But several factions in the struggle...... It's possible to do it to us for a variety of reasons. ”
"So I didn't promise him, let's see."
"Still watching??"
Bao Qi on the side asked in surprise.
"I thought we had to wait for a while---- why do such a high-risk, low-return thing?"
"It's not a low yield."
Chen Shen shook his head again.
"Do you think the 'Chesri's support' promised by the jackal is as simple as equipment? It's an identity! ”
"With this identity, we can really gain a foothold in northern Myanmar, and if we want to become bigger in the future, or even want to fight with Shan State and the Seventh Brigade, we need such an identity."
"Otherwise, we will only be able to maintain a small scale of less than 10 people, and once we exceed a certain limit, we will be immediately crushed by the Seventh Brigade."
"Understood."
Bao Qi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:
"So do the big forces active in northern Myanmar have such an identity?"
"Of course....... You think it's a paradise for warlords, bandits, and drug dealers, but in reality, it's just a buffer zone for countries to exchange interests and engage in geopolitical confrontation....... Forget it, don't talk about this. ”
Chen Shen waved his hand casually and said:
"Divide the money, we've made a fortune this time!"
As soon as they heard this, the gloomy look on everyone's faces was instantly swept away.
Divide the money!
In this operation against the Wanxi camp, in addition to the equipment that was not returned, they had 700,000 knives in cash alone, and Peng Xucheng had already sent people to send them all, and a whole suitcase was fully loaded.
The moment the box was opened, it was like a special effect in a film and television, and several people let out a "wow" exclamation neatly.
---- to tell the truth, even Chen Shen rarely saw so much money in his previous life.......
"How?"
Li Bang subconsciously looked at Chen Shen, his eyes full of anticipation.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Shen replied:
"Our operations are basically stable now, and the demand for equipment and supplies is also rising."
"The follow-up use of bullets, shells, etc., all cost money, so the operating cost system must be implemented."
"Well, let's take out 20% of the capital as operating costs first, and then we will divide the rest, how about it?"
After his words were finished, Bao Qi immediately raised his hand in opposition.
"20% is not good, 140,000 US dollars, it looks like a lot, but it won't last long at all."
"We spent $50,000 on the last month-long training, and now we have bazookas, heavy machine guns, mortars, and those advanced equipment will also break, how long will this money last?"
"I recommend at least 40% preparation, it's good for all of us."
Li Bang also agrees with Bao Qi, he has eaten the sweetness of training and equipment, so he knows how cost-effective it is to spend money in these places.
For a while, everyone's eyes were on Shi Dakai.
Shi Dakai opened his mouth inexplicably and said:
"What do you want me to do? If you're going to let me say it, I'd rather not share the money and buy a Humvee---- bulletproof with machine guns. ”
"It's not a hurry to make money, the better the equipment, the more money you make."
Good guys, these three people are even more radical than Chen Shen himself.
Probably because the money came too easily these times, they can be regarded as confident.
It's like a gambler who is gambling with good luck, which one would be afraid of stud? If you want to be rich, bet hard!
“...... A million is not enough to buy a Hummer, and it should be divided or not. ”
Seeing their attitude, Chen Shen also had the confidence to make a decision.
"According to the 40% reserved operating cost, we divide the rest, 420,000, plus the remaining 30,000 before, for a total of 450,000."
"50%, what if we're going to hire someone?"
Shi Dakai added.
All the people raised their hands to pass, so half of the money in the box was taken out, 380,000 US dollars, and placed in front of everyone.
“...... Let's take another 30,000 out, let's go buy a few cameras and install them. ”
Shi Dakai was as cautious as ever.
“....... Fuck, that camera is just to protect us, okay? What are you guilty of! Wait until the price comes down! ”
The amount was finally set, and several people happily began to divide the money.
Chen Shen took the lion's head, 150,000 US dollars, Bao Qi and Li Bang were infiltration groups, took a little more, 80,000 yuan each, and Shi Dakai took 70,000 yuan.
When the cash arrived, everyone was happy and at a loss.
They had never seen such a big amount of money.
"Next...... What to do? ”
Li Bang asked tentatively.
"Do you need to ask? The battle is over, and the consumption is gone! ”
