Chapter 322 Personnel in Place
Chapter 322 Personnel in Place
In the past, the French were very powerful in the field of mercenaries, probably because of the existence of the French Foreign Legion. There are many French names among those legendary mercenaries, and among the few people who can be called the kings of mercenaries, the most are French.
Of course, that was all in the 1970s and 1980s. Now, the French can’t do that.
Why do I want to talk about the French now? The reason is very simple. When Gao Yi was recruiting people everywhere, Marina also called.
"There is a mercenary group, all of which are French foreign legionnaires. They were previously working for the American company Cloverleaf Jungle, but have just collectively ended their business in Iraq and withdrawn. They have formed a small company called Tactical Support, with twelve members, just enough for a small team. If you want to use them, you can contact them now."
Just when he was looking for people, there happened to be a tactical team member who had retired from the extralegal forces and was working for the American PMC company. He was now starting his own business and could be used by Gao Yi.
But why does it feel like such a coincidence?
Although he felt that Marina shouldn't have let him down, the timing of the appearance of this tactical support company was too appropriate and Gao Yi didn't want to use it.
Gao Yi couldn't help but ask on the phone: "Is this company reliable? Isn't the timing of its appearance a bit too coincidental?"
Marina said softly, "Their origins are still very clear. Their leader, who is also the president of the company, has been working in the Clover Jungle before and has good combat capabilities. If you need manpower, you can use them. I can guarantee that they have nothing to do with the CIA. Do you understand what I mean?"
Gao Yi was surprised and asked, "Is that your team? The private armed force that you support?"
Marina didn't admit or deny it. She just said calmly, "I care about your safety and hope to see you again instead of hearing the bad news that you were beaten to death. So, you know, I will provide you with a little help. Of course, it's up to you to decide whether to use them. Goodbye, I'll wait for your good news."
With love from France.
The call was hung up, and Marina gave a phone number that could be contacted at any time. If Gao Yi was willing, he could get additional support from a small mercenary group mainly outside the law, or a small company.
Gao Yi suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Tactical Support Company, this name is a good one. Why do we have to call it a mercenary group? Why don't we call it Warhammer Tactical Company?"
Feng Biao said helplessly: "Because the services provided by mercenary groups and military companies are different, of course you have to call it a mercenary group on the dark web, but I think at this time, we should not worry about the name issue."
Gao Yi said to Feng Biao: "Then do you want to use it?"
Feng Biao thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. In fact, it is taboo to have too many soldiers in a war. If the situation is really bad, if one person runs away, the rest will follow. It is better to find mercenaries who are familiar with each other and have good cooperation. They will not be so easy to disperse when a fight breaks out."
I'd better listen to Feng Biao, but as it provides an extra option for hiring people, it's better to keep the phone number.
I saved the number Marina gave me and continued Gao Yi and the others' journey.
Go back and find Petrov to finalize the matter.
The Tomahawk is an elite weapon, and Lego is a building block and a puzzle just like its name suggests.
Petrov can gather dozens of people in Baghdad at any time, which shows that he is indeed very strong. Apart from those large and super-large PMC companies in the United States, he is probably the only one who can do that.
This time when Gao Yi entered Petrov's villa again, he received a more enthusiastic reception, because if the guests came back, it meant that the business must be successful.
Dealing with Petrov was much more comfortable than dealing with Sherkin. Gao Yi sat on the sofa again and didn't have any more nonsense to say. He got straight to the point and said, "People from the Tomahawk Mercenaries and the Lego Mercenaries."
Petrov smiled and said, "Of course, they are here."
Petrov called a few people over.
"This is Donkey, leader of the Battle Axe Mercenaries."
There aren't many educated people in the mercenary group, so it's impossible for them to give nicknames that are faithful, accurate and elegant. Besides, most of the nicknames are given by others. But since he is the leader of a mercenary group, it's rare for him to be nicknamed "Donkey".
The donkey looked to be in his thirties or forty. He was not very tall, considered short among Russians, probably about 1.75 meters tall. But he looked very strong, with arm muscles that could hold up his sleeves.
His beard wasn't very long, but he hadn't shaved for two or three days. He was wearing a pair of black Adidas tactical boots and sand-colored tactical pants with the legs tucked in.
Adidas GSG9 tactical boots are rare. If Gao Yi hadn't mastered makeup, fashion and some specific clothing, he might not have been able to recognize them.
The top is a black short-sleeved T-shirt. It’s not very tight, but the donkey’s arms can still make the T-shirt tight, which is scary.
Gao Yi politely extended his hand to the donkey and said with a smile: "Wind Knight, nice to meet you."
Gao Yi took the initiative to show his friendship. He wanted to shake hands with the donkey, but the donkey just made a gesture on his forehead as a military salute, and then said in English with a heavy tongue-twisting accent: "Hello."
Gao Yi withdrew his hand.
Petrov pointed to a middle-aged man who was much taller and looked equally strong but a little older beside the donkey and said, "This is Moose, the deputy commander of the Tomahawk Mercenaries." A donkey and a deer, the two commanders of the Tomahawk Mercenaries are quite interesting.
Gao Yi nodded and smiled again: "Hello."
Donkey is not a talkative person, and the deputy commander Moose can't even speak. He just nodded at Gao Yi and didn't say anything.
It seemed that this moose was at least fifty years old. The expression on his face was numb and calm, but Gao Yi felt that the moose did not have the feeling of the few people he met at Sherkin's place.
They are about the same age, but Moose doesn’t make people feel creepy.
There was a man in his thirties next to him. Petrov said in a deep voice, "This is the leader of the Lego Mercenaries, Polar Bear."
They were all animals, but the leader of the Lego Mercenary Group took the initiative to extend his hand to Gao Yi and said politely, "Hello."
At this time, Gao Yi could see that the donkey and the moose both curled their lips subtly, as if they were somewhat disdainful of this Lego polar bear.
After meeting, Gao Yi sat down, and then he said seriously: "Everyone, tell me about your equipment. We may need to face a heavy armored commando team. I hope you have suitable and sufficient equipment."
Donkey continued in English with a heavy tongue-twisting accent: "We have two snipers, one uses an 8.6mm T5000 sniper rifle, and the other uses a 12.7mm Barrett sniper rifle, which is powerful enough. We also have two machine gunners who use PKM machine guns, but if necessary, they can be replaced with 12.7mm heavy machine guns, but in this case the machine gun team will take up the assaulter's quota."
Deputy Commander Moose finally spoke up. He said in a muffled voice: "Our commandos are the best and bravest."
If you have heavy armor, then two large-caliber machine guns and two large-caliber sniper rifles will be enough. However, if you really fight indoors, machine guns and sniper rifles are obviously not suitable.
Gao Yi immediately asked: "What if the enemy fights indoors?"
Donkey took a breath and said, "We won't give them this opportunity. But if we really have to fight an indoor battle, all of us are equipped with bulletproof vests and we won't be afraid of them."
Gao Yi waved his hand and said, "I mean, if we want to annihilate the enemy, indoor combat should be defensive, but it may also require offense. I hope you can introduce the weapons and tactics in detail to ensure that they can meet my needs."
At this time, Moose said without hesitation: "It's simple. Rifles don't work. Then use bombs, directional mines, grenades, and explosives. We have fought many close-range street battles and indoor battles. We are not afraid of these."
Gao Yi was still satisfied. He said to the moose, "Then you will be equipped with enough explosives, right? Don't you use rocket launchers and grenade launchers?"
The donkey and the moose looked at each other, and after they whispered something in Russian, the donkey said seriously, "We will choose equipment according to our own habits. We can handle all situations. You just need to tell us what to do, and don't dictate our equipment selection."
Gao Yi nodded, and then he said to the leader of Lego, "What about you guys?"
"We also select equipment based on combat needs. If you feel you need more RPGs or more grenades, we will use more of them."
Polar Bear said politely: "We can deploy ten rocket launcher shooters. We have a large number of RPG7s."
"Can heavy machine guns be used?"
Polar Bear smiled and said, "Of course, many of us have experience in operating heavy machine guns. Who can't do this?"
This is probably the difference between a special forces unit with a bad temper and a regular unit with a good temper.
Gao Yi was still satisfied with the battle axe. As for the Lego mercenary group, well, it was a mercenary group that provided basic military force and mainly increased the number of people, so one couldn't ask for too much.
The number of people is still important, so Lego must be used as well.
Gao Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay. The deadline is the next half month. A battle may break out at any time. I need you to be prepared and be able to arrive at the battlefield I designate at any time. We will slowly discuss the specific details later."
The donkey said calmly, "Five million."
Donkey didn't even ask how many enemies there were or who they were going to fight. The starting price for their mercenary group was two million, and now he was asking for five million.
Gao Yi was prepared to pay 10 million to hire Tomahawk, but the price Donkey asked for was 5 million, which was lower than expected.
Petrov smiled and said, "Okay, for the benefit of both of you, please pay me the commission plus 10% of the fee."
Gao Yi thought it was a good deal, so he nodded and said, "Deal, transfer."
