After talking to Roberts on the phone and briefly telling him that the next step was to start, Jiang Chen then called his mercenary base in Niger and asked Ivan to take a few brothers to the Pannu Islands to meet him. .
After making these two calls, Jiang Chen returned to the hotel and booked Zhang's flight to Pannu Islands tomorrow.
He still has some preparations to make before the Liberals revolt.
... ...
The airport in the Pannu Islands is as empty as ever. Although a new deep-water port has been recently built, which has more or less added some popularity to this small island far away from international affairs, it is still limited by many factors such as backward infrastructure and a small population base. , there are still no strange faces seen on this island.
Especially the recent deterioration of the local situation has caused the investment rating of this place to be greatly reduced.
Although the US$10 billion development project has attracted the attention of many capitalists, the project has just begun, and it is still unknown whether the unrest caused by the forced land acquisition can be resolved peacefully.
If they follow up the investment rashly at this time, once the protests escalate into armed conflict, not only will this large project become unfinished, but the contract they signed with the old regime will also become useless paper.
Before the situation is clear, those cunning international capital will definitely not take action rashly. The best time to place a bet is only when one side, the opposition or the government, has the upper hand.
However, even though it is restricted by many negative factors, there are still only a few people visible in this airport.
Most of them are journalists from the "free world". Although they may have never heard of this isolated island, this does not prevent them from commenting on human rights, human rights and other issues on the island.
However, the situation at the airport today is a bit abnormal.
There were about fifteen unfamiliar faces, dragging suitcases together through the empty airport hall, which looked a bit eye-catching.
Judging from these points alone, the burly figure, clean steps, and the solemn look on the brows, the identity of this group of people is probably not very simple.
Future Security Company, this is their identity. The leader of the team is Chief Instructor Ivan, while the other fourteen people are employees with "outstanding performance" in the company.
He is obviously not a good person in this industry. The airport staff also looked sideways frequently, but no one came forward to question him. After confirming the documents in accordance with the procedures, the airport staff released the passenger.
The only two security guards at the airport were also issued pistols and sent out to the streets to maintain stability. No matter what the purpose of these people are here. The country couldn't be worse off.
At the entrance of the airport, five Santanas were parked.
Traffic in Pannu is terrible. There are no subways, no buses, not even taxis. It would be an exaggeration to say that in the past, it was rare to even see a car on the highway.
After seeing the Oriental face leaning against the car door. Ivan's old face squeezed out a smile.
"Man, we have met." Jiang Chen stretched out his right hand and laughed.
"Long time no see, OSS, haha." Shaking Jiang Chen's right hand vigorously, the Slavic-faced veteran grinned.
It had only been more than four months since I last saw him, and his whole person was completely dark. There was a smell of sand floating all over his body.
There is also the smell of gunpowder smoke.
"Let's go, let's talk in the car." Jiang Chen waved, gesturing for him and the soldiers behind him to get into the car.
To be precise, they are all security guards from the Future Security Company.
Due to the continued deterioration of the situation in Pannu Islands. Jiang Chen also made use of the topic to propose to the Panu government the hiring of overseas security guards to deal with criminals rushing into his property in Panu. The reason doesn't really matter. After paying a sum of money to the Pannu authorities as the Romans do, the visa and other matters were approved on the same day.
There are sixteen people in five cars. Although it is a bit crowded, it can still fit.
Led by Jiang Chen's car, the five vehicles formed a long queue and drove towards Jiang Chen's trading company on Coro Island.
"How was your stay in Niger?" Jiang Chen casually asked Ivan, the chief instructor, while holding on to the steering wheel.
"It's not bad. These little guys have finally sharpened their claws. I remember that when I first came here, I couldn't even hold a gun. Now I have learned how to kill people." A flash of pride flashed on his face, and Ivan got off the car. He opened the window, lit a cigarette, and grinned.
"Have you been on the battlefield yet?" Jiang Chen asked somewhat unexpectedly.
"Yes. We fought against the guerrillas." Ivan took a breath of spicy smoke and grinned, "Do you remember the Tuareg tribe?"
"Of course, Roberts and I also went to that tribe for a friendly visit." Jiang Chen shrugged.
AK, camels and unpleasant camel milk were his only impressions of that poor and backward tribe.
"But they are not friendly." He shook his cigarette ashes by the car window. Ivan continued, "A month ago, they asked us for benefits. Dollars, fresh water, bullets, etc., but I refused. At night, guerrillas pretending to be Al Qaeda came to fight against the autumn wind."
"Then what?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"They left twenty corpses." Ivan grinned. "I have to say that the rifle you provided OSS is indeed a good thing. Even in the sandstorm, the shell did not jam once. And it penetrated Amazing power."
"Of course, it is a custom-made firearm after all." Jiang Chen said. At the same time, he silently added in his heart: After all, it is a light weapon from the future.
Ivan shrugged and did not continue on the topic of weapons. He knew that his boss's background was very mysterious, so he didn't inquire too much.
"What about Niger? What did they say?"
"Nothing to show. Their army is a bunch of cowards and they don't dare to offend the unruly people in the desert. The black guy you hired named Bakari went to the Minister of Commerce to report this matter. Although the Niger government They said they would restrain the local armed forces within their territory, but in the end they chose not to cooperate with each other and just sent a representative to mediate. If they offend us, they will have trouble with the US dollar, and if they offend those unruly people, they will have trouble with public security." Looking at the subtropical scenery passing by outside the window, Ivan squinted his eyes and said.
"What happened next? Did the Tuareg natives compromise?"
"Obviously not." Ivan sneered, "But later they learned wisely and knew that they couldn't win alone, so they enlisted the help of extremist organizations with whom they had an ambiguous relationship. RG, Toyota pickup trucks, squad machine guns... ... However, these are of no use. In terms of firepower, we are not inferior to him."
"Are there any casualties?"
"Of course." As he said that, Ivan kept squinting and looking into the distance.
There were casualties, which was unexpected by Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at him, but did not blame him for the casualties.
Although there were attrition, a group of warriors who had experienced blood and fire were cultivated as a result, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
"Where are the families of those soldiers who died in battle?" Jiang Chen asked softly.
"In the base. After all, they lost their husbands. If they are driven away like this -" Hearing Jiang Chen ask about the families of the fallen soldiers, Ivan was worried that he would be dissatisfied with his approach, so he hurriedly explained.
"No, you did a good job." Jiang Chen interrupted him.
Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although at first I looked down on those refugees who complained at random, but after so many months of training, it was absolutely impossible to say that they had not developed any feelings at all. What's more, they fought side by side when facing guerrilla attacks.
"To be honest, I'm really worried. For example, you will kick them out of the military camp. After all, considering the cost of business operations, they are indeed a burden." Ivan said with a bitter smile.
"Don't make any mistake, Ivan. I have never said that Futureman Security Company is a company," Jiang Chen smiled, looked at Ivan, and continued seriously, "We are the army." (.)
