Chapter 320 Want money rather than life

It seems that mercenaries are more honest, so Gao Yi also acts honestly.

Don't play any mysterious games, just get straight to the point.

Gao Yi sat on the sofa, and the first thing he said was: "I need help, good help."

Not sure if he was too direct, Petrov scratched his head, then he said awkwardly: "What level, how many people, what mission?"

Level? What level? Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua didn't mention anything about levels. Are mercenaries divided into levels?

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "There is no limit to the number of people, the tasks are not convenient to disclose, and there is no limit to the level."

Petrov was silent for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Well, I'll be frank. I don't think you are a mercenary and you don't know much about our industry. Sir, at least give me a clear condition so that I can help you find someone. How about this, you give me a slightly clearer condition, and then I will recommend the most suitable candidate to you."

Gao Yi immediately said, "We do lack mutual understanding. Well, just bring out your best candidate for me to choose. I'll let you know a little bit. I'm going to escort a batch of arms. I'm sure someone will come to rob them. It will be a fierce battle."

"That's enough. If you want to fight a tough battle, the risk will be high. The higher the risk, the higher the commission. But there are people who are willing to take risks to make a lot of money. I must have suitable candidates here. For example, how about the Tomahawk Mercenary Group? The biggest advantage of this mercenary group is that you don't have to worry about them backing down because of danger. As long as the money is in place, they can do any job!"

Gao Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Tomahawk Mercenary Group?"

"Yes, Tomahawk, uh, Tomahawk Mercenary Group is a long-standing mercenary group with a very good reputation. They now have about 20 people. I don't know if they can meet your needs. As for the commission, it starts at 2 million. The specific amount depends on the specific task, but the Tomahawk Mercenary Group is definitely worth the price."

Gao Yi’s mercenary group is called Warhammer, and this mercenary group is called Battle Axe. What a coincidence.

Gao Yi smiled and said, "Twenty people are not enough, but I can use a few more mercenary groups. First, you can introduce me to the Tomahawk Mercenary Group, their members, weapons, what kind of combat they are good at, and what kind of battlefield they are suitable for."

"Okay, Donkey, leader of the Tomahawk Mercenary Group. Most of the members of this mercenary group are from Russia. Their weapons are mainly Russian-style weapons. Basically, they have all the light weapons they need. As for fighting, of course they can fight in any kind of battle. We have done escort missions and security missions. We also have a high completion rate for some missions that are inconvenient to disclose. The requirement is to settle the total price of a single mission. We do not accept missions that are settled on a daily basis."

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll do anything for money! What if my enemy is very strong and powerful? For example, if my enemy is a top mercenary group like the Burning Legion, will the Tomahawk Mercenary Group still accept this mission and fight to the end?"

"Burning Legion? Sir, let alone the Burning Legion, even if you ask them to dance around a nuclear bomb that is about to explode, Tomahawk will go as long as you pay enough. Sir, I repeat, Tomahawk requires payment first. As long as you make it clear in advance who the opponent is, and then Tomahawk takes the money, their lives will be yours."

After Petrov finished speaking, he spread his hands and said, "Sir, you said you want high-end combat power, but you can't explain the mission content in detail, so I recommend a mercenary group like Tomahawk that values money over life."

Gao Yi was very satisfied. He smiled and said, "Your recommendation is good. I have used the Tomahawk Mercenary Group, but the number of people is a bit small. Do you have any other suitable recommendations?"

Petrov thought for a moment and said, "Twenty people are not enough?"

"Too few. I need mercenaries who can be used as suicide squads. Tomahawk meets the requirement, but there are still too few of them."

Petrov frowned and said, "The Tomahawk Mercenaries are very strong. I can reveal that half of their members are from the Russian special forces. They have top-notch experience and combat effectiveness. To be honest, in the whole of Iraq and the whole Middle East, there is only Tomahawk, a mercenary group that dares to take money first and complete the mission at all costs. You need more people..."

Petrov thought for a moment and said to Gao Yi, "If we need a lot of people, how about using the Lego Mercenaries?"

"Lego? Lego bricks?" Gao Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "What kind of a weird name is this?"

Petrov smiled and said, "It's Lego bricks, because the Lego Mercenary Group is very adaptable. They can provide the right person for any mission you need. However, Lego does not have the high-end and tough combat power of Tomahawk. Let me put it this way, Tomahawk is the special forces, and Lego is the ordinary infantry. But no matter what you want to do, Lego is suitable."

"It sounds good. We have special forces, and we also need regular troops. So how does Lego charge? Lego charges based on the number of people and the mission. If you just take on some basic tasks, such as security and guard work, three hundred dollars a day is enough. It is paid by head, but the number of people is relatively low. The people sent out are mainly Iraqis. If you want higher-level mercenaries, they can be mainly Russians and Eastern Europeans. Five hundred dollars per person per day. If there is a battle, the fee will be increased according to the situation."

Petrov described it in great detail. Gao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Is this Lego building block your own mercenary group? It sounds like it has a high degree of freedom."

Petrov smiled and said, "It's not my mercenary group. I can only say that I can put together such a mercenary group."

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Are there fifty people?" "Yes, of course."

"I'll pay you the basic commission every day, but we can't be sure about the intensity of the battle right now. Can we increase the commission after the battle starts?"

"Of course, this is a routine operation, everyone does it this way."

Gao Yi nodded, and then he said in a deep voice: "But there is a question, if the battle is fierce and dangerous, will the people of the Lego Mercenary Group run away?"

Petrov said helplessly, "I can't give you a false promise, because I have to be responsible for my reputation. Sir, they are all here to make money. If it's too dangerous, then what's the point of making money? So it's hard for me to answer your question. For example, how fierce the battle is, but how fierce is it? So we usually use the battle damage ratio as a more intuitive measure of the danger level of a battle. Do you understand?"

"Well, that's understandable."

"Okay, if the casualty rate exceeds 10%, we consider it a fierce battle, which requires a significant increase in the commission. If the casualty rate exceeds 20%, we consider it a very fierce battle. If the casualty rate exceeds 30%, it is an extremely dangerous battle. Many people will refuse to participate in such a mission. There are very few people willing to participate in such a mission!"

Gao Yi stretched out his hand and said, "Let's assume that half of them will be killed or injured."

Petrov sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "A battle with more than half of the casualties? This is a mission to die, but there is a good chance to make a fortune. Well, there must be people, but not many. I can find fifty people for you, but the price is high! The commission is 10,000 per person per day! As long as there is a battle, the battle allowance starts at 100,000, and it must be paid first. There is no way to make payments in time during a battle, so for such a mission, you need to pay a deposit. For fifty people, it is 5 million US dollars. Put it with me, and then you pay the daily commission yourself. As long as you don't pay one day, their mission will automatically end. If there is no battle, I will refund the deposit, but if a battle occurs, the deposit will not be refunded."

Gao Yi nodded and said, "It's fair."

"Of course it's fair, but I have to remind you that in this mode, everyone is prepared to exchange their lives for money. So as long as a large-scale battle occurs, no matter how intense it is, I will not give up the five million. And all the mercenaries who participate in the mission, regardless of whether they are dead or alive or injured, will receive 100,000 each. I will distribute the money to them immediately."

Ten thousand a day, fifty people, that's five hundred thousand, a dozen, that's five million.

When we are actually waiting for action, we don’t know how many days it will take. After all, we are just sitting and waiting, passively waiting for the enemy to come to us.

But the daily expenditure of 500,000 is acceptable. Even if you wait for ten days, it will only be 5 million. Together with the deposit, 10 million will be enough.

Gao Yi nodded and said, "Sure, no problem."

Petrov said in a deep voice: "I will take a 10% commission from both the Tomahawk and Lego mercenary groups. You have to pay for this."

Gao Yi frowned and said, "I pay?"

Petrov said seriously, "Sir, I cannot ask for money from people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for money, so my rule here is that the employer bears the expenses, but I can guarantee that all the commissions you pay will be given to them. Because of this, the mercenaries here trust me, and the mercenaries who leave here will definitely do what they are supposed to do according to the agreement. Once the money is in place, there will never be a mercenary who escapes midway."

Although he didn't know whether the price was high or low, Petrov guaranteed that no one would run away once the money was in place. Gao Yi thought it was okay and fair.

"Okay, let's settle it this way. If I decide to use the battle axe and Lego, you have to let me see their equipment and condition. If you confirm that they are usable, I will pay for them immediately."

Petrov nodded and said, "Okay, I should."

Gao Yi looked at his watch and said, "I have to meet a friend. I'll leave now."

After shopping around, Gao Yi did not make a decision right away. Petrov also knew this. He stood up, extended his hand, and said with a smile: "Sir, no matter whether this cooperation is successful or not, you are always welcome here. If you need anything, please contact me."

A qualified businessman with a qualified attitude, Gao Yi feels satisfied with everything.

After saying goodbye to Petrov and getting in the car, Gao Yi's first question after meeting Feng Biao was, "Does the Tomahawk Mercenary Group know about this?"

Feng Biao was stunned for a moment and said, "Boma Axe? The Battle Axe Mercenary Group is quite powerful, but the most famous thing about the Battle Axe Mercenary Group is that they value money over lives. I am unwilling to join such a mercenary group, but it would be nice to be able to use the Battle Axe."
