After finding Petrov, of course we have to find Sherkin as well.

After calling Xie Erjin and asking for the meeting address, Gao Yi went directly to meet Xie Erjin.

Although Petrov is a Russian, his main label is a businessman, an intermediary, or a broker, or a broker. In short, the most obvious word about him is business.

So Petrov is polite, low-key, and in some ways simple.

Sherkin is different.

Sherkin doesn't live in a mansion, and he lives outside the Green Zone, but his security arrangements are luxurious.

They both live in a villa by the river, but Sherkin's villa is shabby and you can even see old bomb craters on the walls. However, the gatekeepers of Sherkin's villa are four burly white men.

Then there were no women in Sherkin's villa. There were bearded men with fierce looks, burly men with broad shoulders and waists, and old men in their fifties or sixties who looked murderous.

The villa wouldn't be crowded if there were a dozen or twenty people living in it, but if there were thirty or forty people, it would be very crowded, almost overflowing.

Sherkin’s residence in Baghdad is like a military camp. Although not all the people inside are fully armed, it feels like a military camp from any angle.

It was in such a military camp, in the living room of the villa, that Gao Yi met Sherkin.

Sherkin is in his fifties and looks a little fat. Generally, fat people appear very friendly, but Sherkin is different. Although he is fat, he is very fierce, although he does not have a beard and has no scars on his face.

The two men who were talking to Sherkin in the living room both had big beards and wore black round hats.

Gao Yi called to discuss business, and Sherkin invited Gao Yi in. But when he entered, the two bearded men were handing something wrapped in a plastic bag to Sherkin.

The bearded man opened the plastic bag and showed it to Sherkin. Then when he opened the plastic bag, Gao Yi smelled a bad odor, a unique bad odor, and Sherkin waved his hand with disgust on his face.

The two bearded men put away the plastic bag, twisted the mouth of the bag twice, tied it up to prevent the smell from spreading, and then left the living room.

It wasn't that Sherkin intended to intimidate Gao Yi. He might really be dealing with something, but Gao Yi just caught up with him.

Gao Yi couldn't see clearly what was in the plastic bag, but it should be ears, maybe four or five, because there looked like a small pile of them.

After sending away the two men, Sherkin looked at Gao Yi. He did not stand up, but remained sitting on the chair. He extended his hand to Gao Yi and said, "Sit down."

Petrov's villa has sofas and carpets, and is cleaned tidy, luxurious and comfortable.

The living room of Sherkin's villa was very large, but there were only a few folding chairs inside, and there was not even a table, let alone carpets, sofas, or anything that had anything to do with comfort.

Gao Yi sat on the chair, and then he said to Xie Erjin: "Hello."

"How much is it?"

Sherkin had no intention of exchanging pleasantries.

Gao Yi called Xie Erjin, confirmed the meeting place, came over, was brought into the living room, and then the current situation came about.

The progress was so fast that it made people feel that Sherkin had no manners at all.

When talking to Petrov, Gao Yi's conditions were so simple that Petrov didn't know how to take the business.

When it came to Sherkin, Sherkin was so direct that Gao Yi didn't know how to make the request.

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Why don't you ask me what I plan to do?"

"Why should I care what you do? Just tell me how much money you can make so I can know if I need to do business with you."

This business has personality.

Gao Yi became curious. He really wanted to know how Sherkin did business here, so after hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "The upper limit is 20 million US dollars."

"Twenty million, okay."

Sherkin seemed satisfied with the amount, but the reason I say "seemed" is that he did not express any opinion.

Sherkin said expressionlessly: "What are you going to do?"

"Uh...I want..."

This time it was Gao Yi who would not do that. What could he say? He couldn't say that he was going to ambush Ziyoufeng. After thinking for a moment, Gao Yi said seriously, "I want to kill an enemy. He has many powerful subordinates..."

"Revenge? Easy. Tell me who you want to kill and I'll do the rest for you. If it works, I'll pay you. If it doesn't, forget it."

Gao Yi was stunned, and then he finally said, "That's not how you negotiate business."

"Then how should we talk about it? If you have any problems, I will help you solve them, isn't that enough?"

Sherkin is not stupid, nor is he reckless. He is just impatient.

Gao Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't point out a target for you to kill, and I can't confirm the exact time and place. Well, what I can be sure of is that I have to deal with a very powerful opponent. He has about 20 to 30 men under him. They are very powerful and have strong combat effectiveness, so..."

"Whether it's twenty or thirty, if you're not sure, just assume it's thirty."

The last time we fought against Free Wind in Libya, Free Wind only had about a dozen people, and that was Hurricane, Free Wind's own action team.

Now Free Wind's own action team is basically destroyed. If Free Wind wants to capture or kill Gao Yi, it will definitely have to mobilize people, but how many people can the CIA send?

According to Panetta's estimate, the number of people the CIA can gather in Baghdad, plus the action teams transferred from headquarters or Europe, is estimated to be no more than thirty people.

More than thirty people is actually a large scale. Also, Baghdad is different from Tripoli. The CIA has a lot of people in Baghdad. Generally speaking, Free Wind's strength in Baghdad will only be stronger.

The process of negotiating business with Sherkin felt very torturous, but for some reason, looking at Sherkin's style, Gao Yi thought that Sherkin was stronger than Petrov.

"Okay, let's assume that there are thirty people on the target, and the other side is determined to fight to the end. Well, they have very strong fighting power. I have to deal with these fighters and then kill their boss. How do you think this kind of business should be calculated?"

Sherkin fell into deep thought. He thought for a long time and finally said, "Must we annihilate the enemy completely?"

"Yes."

“I can’t take this mission.”

Sherkin's expression did not change. He still said calmly, "You are not honest. You have concealed too many things. I will not make money from you."

At this time, the difference between Sherkin and Petrov was revealed.

Mercenaries are commodities to Petrov, not even costs, because Petrov is just a middleman. He must have the credibility of a middleman, but he does not have to be responsible for the lives of the mercenaries, so Petrov can accept Gao Yi's mission.

Sherkin is not a middleman, he is responsible for his men.

Then there is nothing to talk about. Don't waste any more time.

Gao Yi stood up. It was time for him to say goodbye, but for some reason, maybe it was because Sherkin’s minimalist style made him feel fresh and he felt that Sherkin was indeed capable, so he still wanted to cooperate with Sherkin.

Gao Yi suddenly asked, "If I have determined the target, the number of enemies, the time and location, and all this information is clear, but time is tight, will it be too late for me to find you? Or to be more extreme, if I want to find you again after the battle has started, will you still be able to participate in the battle?"

Xie Erjin said without hesitation: "Of course, as long as you can make sure you can pay, you can come to me anytime. As for the time, that's your problem."

Gao Yi nodded and said, "Okay, we'll have a chance to cooperate. Goodbye."

Gao Yi stood up and left, walked out of the apparently old house, and walked out of a garden without a single flower.

Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua were still waiting outside for Gao Yi. After Gao Yi got in the car and Lin Xianghua started the car, Feng Biao asked curiously, "So fast?"

From entering the door to leaving the door, the whole process takes less than five minutes.

Gao Yi sighed and said, "I should let you go in with me. This Xie Erjin, uh, I have never dealt with people like Xie Erjin. Brother Biao, have you heard of Xie Erjin before?"

Feng Biao thought about it seriously and said, "I've never heard of him. Do you know his nickname? Or the name of the mercenary group will do."

"I don't know. Maybe they are not a mercenary group. But I think Sherkin's men are very powerful. I saw at least seven or eight of them who were older, probably in their fifties or sixties. The look in their eyes made me feel creepy."

There are really not many people in this world who can make Gao Yi feel uneasy.

Feeling uneasy doesn't mean being afraid, but it means knowing at first glance that something is dangerous and being instinctively alert.

Gao Yi took out his phone and said with regret: "Since Sherkin can't cooperate, you should ask Petrov to decide on someone. Go check on the Tomahawk Mercenary Group later. You two are more familiar with mercenaries. You can decide whether it's okay or not. If Petrov's people are not okay, then go back to Sherkin. Hey, why do you think it's so troublesome?"

Gao Yi called Petrov and waited for Petrov to answer the call. He said directly, "Let me meet with the Tomahawk Mercenaries and Lego. If there is no problem, let's sign the contract today."
