According to Victor, this time he returned to Maozi Kingdom to recruit mercenaries. He originally thought it would take at least ten days, but he did not expect that in just a few days, he managed to recruit more than a hundred people. These mercenaries were all special forces.
Or they are professional and technical personnel, many of whom have rich practical experience. If they are well organized and trained, their combat effectiveness in the Philippines will definitely be superb.
This is actually within the scope of Vladimir's prediction. After all, Mao Zedong's economic decline has been severe in recent years. Many people's monthly salary is only a few hundred dollars, and many veterans' treatment is even worse. Therefore, they face
With a monthly salary of several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars, they cannot refuse as they are struggling to make a living.
Victor also told him that several foreign mercenaries were recruited this time, five from France, one from Spain, and one from Italy.
"How are these foreign mercenaries doing?" Vladimir asked curiously.
"Boss, they have participated in the International Special Forces Competition with me before, and their personal abilities are excellent. We actually kept in touch after they were discharged from the army, and they gave me the feeling that there is no problem with their character."
"That's good. When do you plan to gather in Budinha, Philippines?"
Budiniya is close to the country of Niyal. In order to cooperate with General Labose and to better hide from others, the Philippine office of the Ivan family is located in Budilon, the capital of Budiniya.
"We want to go as quickly as possible. If nothing happens, we can reach the Philippines within three days."
"After arriving in the Philippines, ask Machyev to provide you with weapons and organize training. In addition, I will ask Semyon to implement the armed helicopters and armored vehicles we want to purchase. If it's quick, they can arrive in half a month.
, if it’s slow, it won’t take more than a month.”
Victor looked overjoyed and said, "Boss, have you really brought these heavy equipment? In this case, our equipment might not be worse than that of armed men like Labose."
"It's not easy to do these, but some of them are second-hand goods. Do you have professionals who know this in your team?"
"Yes, boss, there are more than ten of them. These guys used to serve at the Korlykov Tactical Contract Training Base. Except for atomic bombs and spaceships, they can repair almost any equipment."
The Korlykov Tactical Contract Training Base is the largest military training base in Mao Zedong. Since the terrain of this contract tactical training base is quite comprehensive and there is even a saltwater lake of nearly a thousand square kilometers to simulate the ocean, it is cold all year round.
In the winter, many troops train here, and joint military exercises with some countries with good relations are often held.
"Don't let them come here for the time being. Let them go to Semyon and inspect the weapons they purchased as soon as possible, and then dismantle them and ship them."
After all, arms smuggling is not an aboveboard matter. Generally speaking, it is dismantled, assembled and transported after all relationships have been managed.
"Understood, boss." Victor felt quite excited, as if he had returned to the glorious days when he served in the army.
After ending the call with Victor, Vladimir did not go in immediately. Instead, he called Semyon and inquired about the purchase status of those heavy-duty armed helicopters.
Xie Miao patted her chest and said she could get it in the next two days.
Vladimir had no doubts about Semyon's ability. Otherwise, his father would not have entrusted him with the management of such an important arsenal.
…
Back at the villa, Vladimir saw Samedov and Brown chatting happily, and the words in their mouths were still as high-minded as before.
They even talked about buying a football club again.
Samedov told Brown that he planned to acquire the English Championship team Charlton, and then strive to be promoted to the Premier League next year, qualify for the Champions League within three years, win the Premier League championship within five years, and then build a century-old giants
.
The two seemed to be chatting happily, so much so that to Vladimir, they seemed to regard him as an airhead.
Not long after he returned to the villa and sat down, Vladimir's cell phone rang again.
I picked up the phone and saw it was Abdullah calling.
He couldn't help but feel happy. Could it be that the meeting with Prince Hussein was settled?
After signaling again, Vladimir answered the phone and walked outside.
Samedov said sarcastically: "Mr. Brown, did you see that they are pretending to be busy with business?"
Brown snorted: "Maybe the business is really busy, but he is just tired of dealing with debt collection calls."
As soon as this was said, the two couldn't help laughing.
In fact, Abdullah's call to Vladimir was not to arrange for him to meet the prince, but to ask if anyone from Prince Raheel had been looking for him.
Apparently, Abdullah was also worried about the cooked duck flying away.
…
During the dinner, Vladimir felt that his food was very tasteless. Samedov talked and laughed with Brown and several other powerful people, completely ignoring him.
His girlfriend Evepola seemed to see what he was thinking. She picked up her phone and sent him a message: "Dear, ignore them. Kate told me that her husband is quite a snobbery."
After reading the message, Vladimir smiled slightly at his girlfriend.
Finally, the party is over.
Vladimir breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he experienced the feeling of being discriminated against. To be honest, this feeling was not comfortable at all. It made him feel very suffocated and depressed.
He was a guest, and because of his good personal cultivation, he didn't have an attack.
"My dear, do you feel that you have been ignored?" Evepola suddenly asked after the vehicle drove out of the villa courtyard.
Vladimir did not deny: "Yes, this is the first time I have been indifferent and discriminated against."
"Are you feeling better now?" Evepola chuckled and said, "Wealthy bosses like you should feel more about being discriminated against and indifferent. Otherwise, you won't be able to understand the feelings of the people at the bottom."
"Haha..." Vladimir knew that this was his girlfriend trying to enlighten him, "Actually, I can also feel their feelings, so I took the initiative to invite them to join me when dining. Otherwise, I would feel the same when dining alone.
It’s so lonely.”
"Really? I didn't expect that such a high-ranking young master as you would actually do this."
"How about staying at my house for one night? You can see it tomorrow morning?" Vladimir said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Evepola shook her head: "Forget it, let's do it next time. There are too many people in your family. By the way, why are there so many? A big family?"
"Let me count for you. I have one secretary, and my secretary has three secretaries, one butler, and the butler has two assistants. In addition, there are eight bodyguards, five chefs, ten servants, and two gardeners.
One, as well as one personal doctor and one nutritionist.”
At the end, Vladimir did not forget to add: "I didn't hire a driver specifically. I mainly felt that we should save where we should, and besides these people, except for elderly women, they all know how to drive."
After hearing this, Evepola felt that her boyfriend was too "thrifty".
Although he said it was okay, Vladimir was still quite unhappy inside. He was not that generous.
Back at his girlfriend's house, when she walked into the bathroom to take a shower, he called Andre directly.
"Hey, Andre, I have a task for you. Find out if there are any wealthy teams in London that are for sale."
…
"An ordinary team cannot do it, it must be a wealthy team."
…
“Price is not an issue.”
…
Andre on the other side of the phone was quite speechless. Previously, he admired his boss's increasingly outstanding abilities, but now he actually started spending money again and wanted to buy a wealthy team.
