To be honest, Jiang Chen didn't care about this hellish place called Ukraine. ↑,. He just wants to buy a few capable veterans, train a mercenary army loyal to him, and complete his "island seizing plan". As a result, at the critical moment, he was tricked by Roberts' idiot's intelligence, and Markanov's hidden identity made the situation complicated.
He was passively involved in this undercurrent because of the imaginative KGB agents and the tit-for-tat Vili agents.
Fortunately, these troubles have been solved.
Whatever conspiracy that Willy might have, just let the KGB worry about it.
Walking side by side with Makanov at the station of the 92nd Motorized Infantry Brigade, the two chatted and laughed.
Nick followed the two of them. Since Makarnov spoke good English, there was no need for him to act as an interpreter, so he walked silently as usual. As for Aisha, Jiang Chen still arranged her at a distance just in case.
Although it is not in the most dangerous area, it is still on the front line. The conditions here are naturally quite difficult. Soldiers usually slept next to the mounds in the trenches, using the wooden boxes storing ammunition as tables, and sat around eating cold cans and nibbling black bread.
Seeing how these soldiers were eating, drinking, and eating less than the survivors in the Fish Bone Base, Jiang Chen couldn't help but have the illusion that he was simply too kind.
"We have a lot of good guys in the 92nd Motorized Infantry Brigade. Let me know which one you think is good, and I will communicate with him. Of course, as long as you are not stupid, you shouldn't refuse." Makanov laughed. said.
It is rare to see a general go to the front line to "check the post." The listless soldiers somewhat cheered up and gave a military salute when they saw him approaching.
Looking at the appearance of these soldiers, Jiang Chen doubted whether they could really block the offensive of the civilian armed forces. But even though I think so. There was no expression on his face.
"Oh? Wouldn't you feel bad if I took away the ace in your army?" Jiang Chen said half-jokingly.
This man with a hooked nose has very sharp eyes, a very shallow scar on the side of his face, and his figure looks very capable. Just by looking at it, Jiang Chen really couldn't connect him with the "corrupt officials" who embezzled national assets.
It is said that he is still a confidant of the president of the new government.
"What are you feeling sorry for?" Makanov spread his hands and said with a smile. "What if you give me another hundred guys who can fight, can they beat those 'volunteers' from Russia? The outcome of the war is not something we can control at all. Let's not talk about those nonsense. Let's be realistic. I I’ve been owed my salary for several months. If I don’t sell equipment, how can I pay the wages of my subordinates?”
There was something he didn't say. That one million US dollars in gold is enough for him to travel to any country for a lifetime. What about Poroshenko’s confidants? He has too many confidants. He doesn't care whether he lives or lives. With money, he no longer cares what this hell place will become.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn't answer any more.
Before coming, he had reached an agreement with the Willy Society.
He will leave Ukraine within three days, and the purpose of coming here is just to pick a few mercenaries as bodyguards. This transaction is only private in nature. Although there is an undisclosed organization behind it, he has no intention of getting into the muddy waters of Ukraine.
The captured sniper will be returned after he leaves the country safely, if something unexpected happens to him in the past three days. Then the information on the location of the sniper being held will be automatically sent to Russia, and the hostages will be taken over by Russia.
Vasily did not know that he had been given veritaserum, and it was impossible for Willy to know that some of his information had been leaked to the Russian side. So this sniper still has recycling value for them.
Therefore, in order to prevent Jiang Chen from getting into trouble within these three days, let alone plotting against him, the Weili Society even directly sent several agents to protect him secretly to prevent the KGB from secretly causing harm.
But it was obvious that they were overthinking it. Jiang Chen had already reached an agreement with the KGB people. Even before he left the country. There must be agents watching him from a distance, but they will never do anything to him again.
"Except for soldiers. Do you need a tank? For a T-64, I only charge you $1 million."
"Tank? Where should I put that thing I bought?" Jiang Chen laughed and cursed.
Just kidding, do you think I don’t know that those things are a legacy of the former Soviet Union? More than 400 T-64s lie in the tank cemetery in Kharkiv. I don’t know how many layers of ashes they have fallen on. It is a miracle to find one that can drive. They are all sold to steel plants and no one is there. I want bad stuff.
Walking along the trench to an open space, Markanov made some low-pitched gestures with a look-alike deputy commander, then took out two stools and sat down with Jiang Chen with a smile.
What happens next is simple.
Soldiers from the 92nd Motorized Infantry Brigade came in batches for "interviews." Nick, a veteran, was mainly responsible for the interview. Jiang Chen just sat aside and simply reviewed them. In order to prevent agents from other organizations from sneaking in, just use Veritaserum to question them later.
It took about 2 hours to finally get rid of all these troublesome things.
There are no special forces in Ukraine, but there are still many old guys mixed in the army with abilities comparable to those of the special forces. Among them, the Cossacks are the main ones. They are natural warriors and their individual combat effectiveness is extremely outstanding.
The equipment had been unloaded and he led this group of veterans who had been dismissed from the army to an abandoned warehouse about two kilometers away from the military camp. Jiang Chen signaled Nick to prepare for translation.
"I know you must be confused. For example, you were forcibly recruited into the army, and now you are inexplicably removed from the army." Looking at these confused veterans, Jiang Chen stood on an old cargo box and said loudly .
"You have paid enough blood for your motherland. Regardless of whether it is worthy of your willing allegiance now, you have done a great job. So, now, it's time for us to talk about more realistic issues."
"Ten-year work contract, annual salary of 100,000 US dollars. Work hard for me. Not for Poroshenko who can't even pay me a salary." Jiang Chen said loudly, glancing at the pairs of eyes with their own thoughts.
Like a stone dropped into the calm lake, the soldiers looked at each other and started talking.
Jiang Chen waited patiently for the results of their discussion. This is the kind of thing that determines your future destiny. Anyone can feel uneasy and confused.
"How do we know you are telling the truth? Those people in Kiev deceived us back to the front line. We still had a measly 1,500 gry last month, but we haven't paid even one gry this month."
"Then what are your plans?" Jiang Chen said in a gentle tone.
"Leave here and go to Poland. I have been removed from the list anyway, thank God." The veteran said without hesitation.
"After reading these things again, do you still have this plan?" Jiang Chen shrugged. Smiling, he motioned for Nick to take out the suitcase.
The suitcase opens.
Bundles of dollar bills made everyone hold their breath for a moment.
"The work is personal. You work for me and I pay you a salary. Poland? Go to other countries and become undignified refugees, or do you use your only strengths here, and after ten years of work, go to any country with your savings?" A country that is free and unrestrained? The opportunity has been placed in front of you. The door is at the back. You can choose whether to go or stay." After saying that, Jiang Chen looked at them leisurely, smiled and stopped talking.
ten years! One million dollars? !
Not to mention one million, they have never seen what ten thousand Franklins stacked together look like.
The group of veterans were in trouble again, but this time no one wanted to leave, but they still had doubts about Jiang Chen's generous offer.
"Can I ask a question?" Finally, a middle-aged man with a ravaged face stood up and raised his hand tentatively.
"Of course." Jiang Chen looked at this person. He asked in a relaxed tone.
"My name is Ivan," Ivan first said his name politely, and then said in a calm voice. "Before agreeing to your terms, may we know where we will be serving?"
"Africa, help me train mercenaries." Jiang Chen said straightforwardly.
The expressions of these people softened a lot when they heard that they were not being dragged to hot spots to be cannon fodder. After all, no matter how much money you have, you have to spend it wisely.
"Then another question. How are you going to pay our wages? Many of us have family members here."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen interrupted him directly. With a big wave of his hand, he said directly and domineeringly: "Cash, transfer, whatever you want. Pay once every six months. I have only one requirement. Your contribution is worthy of the salary you receive. You must complete the targets I have given." "
After a pause, Jiang Chen glanced at these people and continued: "I know that many of you have family members. You can choose to move them to the family area of the military camp, or you can choose to keep them here, or something else. Like this. I will pay your salary of 10,000 US dollars in advance, and I hope you will show up at the gate of Boryspil International Airport three days later. If someone runs away with this 10,000 US dollars."
Jiang Chen paused and continued in a relaxed tone: "Then wouldn't it be too shameful for me? The remaining 900,000 US dollars will become a bounty on the heads of deserters."
After Nick dictated Jiang Chen's last words, everyone held their breath.
Not because of the last threatening words, but because this Eastern boss was actually willing to spend $10,000 to help them settle down
It’s so conscience-stricken that it explodes!
Just kidding, with such sincere conditions, who else would become a deserter? If so, it's just a fool's errand.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Jiang Chen waved his hand and signaled Nick to take out the work contract and handed out two copies to each person. Anyone who signs can receive 10,000 US dollars in cash as settlement expenses.
Three days were enough for them to deal with their family affairs.
After dealing with these matters, Jiang Chen immediately announced the dissolution.
"You are really generous." Nick said with a smile and returned the suitcase containing 900,000 US dollars to Jiang Chen.
"Haha, are you interested in working for me? I'll offer you an annual salary of 1 million." Jiang Chen smiled.
Nick shook his head.
His reaction was within Jiang Chen's expectation. What he said just now was just a joke.
"Roberts is not in his right mind, but he still has a good eye for people." Jiang Chen handed him a cigarette and cursed with a smile.
Taking the cigarette from Jiang Chen, Nick took out the lighter and lit it.
"Don't you smoke it yourself?" Nick raised his eyebrows and asked after blowing out a smoke ring.
"I smoke occasionally, but rarely." Jiang Chen shook his head, pressed the position next to his ear, and sent a message to Ayesha, "The mission is over, come back."
"yes."
Ever since he took the genetic potion, the craving for cigarettes no longer existed for him. The enhanced metabolic ability also allows the toxins accumulated in his body to be excreted from the body through the excretion system. Strictly speaking, even if he smokes non-stop, it will not affect his health.
I could smoke without restraint, but the reason for smoking was gone, so I stopped smoking naturally.
It turns out that it is to relieve the helplessness of life and relieve depressed emotions. But now, he seems to be living quite happily
Just a bit busy.
"What's next? What are you going to do in the past three days?" Nick asked casually.
After laughing loudly, Jiang Chen grabbed a bundle of U.S. dollars from his suitcase and stuffed it into his arms.
"This is your bonus. It's rare to travel abroad, how can you not have a good time?"
Without being polite, Nick put away the bundle of U.S. dollars, grinned, and looked at the petite figure walking from the factory door.
A black cloak and a slightly funny sniper rifle compared to his body shape.
"With your little beauty?" Nick asked teasingly.
"Yes." Looking at Aisha from a distance, Jiang Chen's face showed a rare softness, "I have to make up for her." ()
