Wan Pojun was not exaggerating. Since the establishment of Wanlong Palace, it has never experienced such a tragic failure and blow.
More than 1,500 people died in a war. What is the concept?
There are many mercenary organizations, from top to bottom, including those who fight and those who work as handymen, but the total number of people combined is not this large.
Blackwater leads a large number of poorly trained motley crews and has fought with the United States in the Middle East for so many years. It has never suffered more than 100 casualties in a single war.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the powerful firepower equipment of the US military.
This time, Wanlong Palace lost so many people in one go, which is truly shocking in the mercenary field.
Wan Pojun, who was full of confidence in front of Su Chengfeng just now and boasted about Haikou, was suddenly slapped in the face by such a tragic failure, and he was naturally extremely angry deep down in his heart.
He wished he could pull Chen Zhonglei in front of him and beat him half to death with his own hands.
But at this time, Chen Zhonglei was in Syria, and he was beyond his reach.
He could even imagine that after today, Wanlong Palace would quickly become the biggest laughing stock in the entire mercenary field, and he didn't know how many people would stab him in Wan Pojun's back.
Moreover, the deaths of more than 1,500 people meant that for Wanlong Palace, in addition to the loss in numbers and reputation, there was also a huge amount of pensions that they needed to pay.
Except for a small number of retired soldiers, most of the people recruited by Blackwater Company are American street gangsters. If they are placed in the country, they can only serve as assistants. They simply train such people and put them on the battlefield, whether it is
Neither training costs nor salary costs are high, and relatively speaking, pension standards are not high either.
But Wanlong Palace is different.
Wanlongdian attaches great importance to the recruitment standards of soldiers, and the threshold is very high. The actual combat ability of each soldier in Wanlongdian is no weaker than that of the active military forces of the United States, and many of them are even better than soldiers of elite units such as the Marine Corps.
.
Therefore, Wanlong Palace’s salary is high and the pension is even higher.
Everyone ties their heads to their belts and comes out to do this kind of job of licking blood from the edge of a knife, so they attach great importance to pensions, because if they die in battle, they can leave generous funds to their families so that they can live a good life.
In order to strengthen internal unity and soldier loyalty, Wanlongdian's pension level is sixty times an individual's monthly salary.
That’s five full years’ salary.
If a person's monthly salary is US$30,000, his pension is US$1.8 million.
As for Lu Zhanjun, whose monthly salary exceeds 150,000, the pension alone will cost 10 million US dollars.
Therefore, the pensions alone for these more than 1,500 people are more than 2 billion US dollars.
Moreover, there is a special standard in the pension system of Wanlong Palace.
This pension standard of sixty times the monthly salary refers to the situation where a person dies in a normal battle and leaves the whole body to his family.
If the whole body cannot be preserved, an additional part of the pension will be paid for mental loss.
After all, no matter which country’s funeral tradition, the emphasis is the same. Burial tradition naturally requires the whole body to be buried, and even for cremation, whole body cremation is the best. Therefore, if there is no whole body, you will have to pay an additional 20 months.
