One day later, at the security force station of the United Petroleum Group on Djerba Island, a thousand security personnel were ready to go for review by Prince Basel and Chris.
Most of these people are security personnel recruited from Tunisia, but there is no trace of North Africa on them. They are wearing security uniforms customized by United Petroleum Group, with steel helmets on their heads and
Wearing an iron-gray jacket and the same color cut-off overalls, and wearing thick-soled leather boots, many people have even shaved off the iconic beards of North Africans. From the appearance, this is a tough and tough army.
The army has no North African characteristics at all.
Of course, not all of them are North Africans. About 20% of them are professional soldiers from France and Germany. They are young adults who have retired from the army. They basically know nothing except fighting. Joining mercenaries is their last resort.
Good choice.
According to the scheduled plan of Basel and Chris, today is the day to send troops to regain the Mobil Oil Field, so Basel wants to see how many troops Chris has prepared to complete this task. Basel wants to make sure that what he gets is worth the money and is worthy of him.
money out.
The security forces of the United Petroleum Group are indeed good. It can be seen that their logistics and supply conditions are very good. These soldiers have strong bodies, sharp eyes, and a very good mental state. Not only are they in good physical condition, this unit has also demonstrated
The training was also good. The queues they listed were horizontal and vertical, as if they were measured with a ruler. And although there were thousands of people standing in silence, no one was whispering to each other, and no one was walking around randomly. It looked like there were thousands of people.
It's as quiet as a wooden sculpture, which is incredible for North Africans who are used to being undisciplined.
It seems that this force is more capable than the Prince of Basel's palace guard, which makes the Prince of Basel very satisfied.
But for some reason, the Prince of Basel felt a little awkward from the first moment he saw this troop, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Soon, the Prince of Basel found out the reason.
The condition of this unit is indeed good, but the only problem is that this unit is not equipped with weapons, not even the most basic backpacks and rifles, which makes the Prince of Basel a little curious.
Where else are their weapons? The Prince of Basel asked Chris casually.
Weapon Chris had an expression of surprise on his face, and he opened his hands in an unbelievable way and replied: The weapons are still waiting for you to equip them. You won't let them die like this. The soldiers of the Brotherhood Alliance are not holding fire sticks.
.
I'll equip you. Did you get it wrong? I've already spent 15 million francs. Why don't I let you spend some bullets and gasoline? The Prince of Basel really didn't expect that Chris was still here waiting for him.
In order for United Oil to send troops, the Prince of Basel has paid 15 million francs, which is a large amount. It is enough to build a 5,000-man army from beginning to end. If it were not for some ulterior motives, Basel
Prince Er would not pay so much, but he did not expect that with such a huge investment, he would only get an unarmed force. This was really unacceptable to Prince Basel.
I can mobilize manpower to help you. This actually violates the relevant regulations of United Oil. You also know that United Oil is not for private service. Everything here belongs to the board of directors, so if you want to achieve your goal, then it is best to
It's better to equip them with weapons. I can't use the weapons belonging to the group headquarters for a personal reason. That will make it impossible for me to escape. Chris pretended that I have helped you so much, and you shouldn't cause trouble for me.
His attitude made the Prince of Basel really depressed and uncomfortable.
15 million, that’s 15 million. Do you know what that means? Tunisia’s entire defense budget this year is not that large, but you only gave me this little thing. Don’t you think this is a bit excessive? The Prince of Basel was very angry. Look.
It means I have to return it again.
Tunisia's national defense is the responsibility of the French government, and the Tunisian government does not need to spend much. The Prince of Basel is right. The Tunisian government does not spend 15 million francs on national defense.
I don't think it's too much. In fact, if you are familiar with the military, then you should understand how much it costs to set up an army. It cannot be done by simply hiring a few temporary workers on the street. These soldiers all have professional
Military skills, they have gone through long and hard training to achieve the momentum they have now. You can find out how much it costs to ask someone who understands. In fact, you only spent 15 million to get 1,000 soldiers to serve.
You have been through life and death. In my opinion, this is a big advantage. Chris is a standard businessman. His brilliant tongue is just the foundation. A toothpick can be boasted as a cultural relic.
Chris is right. The most important thing about an army is its combat effectiveness. Sending out a well-trained army will have completely different results than sending out a ragtag army. Let’s not talk about how much they spend. If a well-trained army is sent out,
With a simple army, a lot can be saved just from post-war pensions.
Of course, if the Prince of Basel personally handles this matter, what is more likely to happen is that there will be no pension at all, so the Prince of Basel will feel at a loss.
Big loss
So how much will it cost to equip them with weapons? The Prince of Basel is ready to give in. It seems that Chris is not prepared to refund the money. If Chris's request is not met, Basel will get nothing.
You must know that the Mobil Oil Field is still under the control of the Brotherhood. Almost every day, the Prince of Basel loses hundreds of thousands of francs. If the Mobil Oil Field can be recovered earlier, then the current expenditure will be worth it.
Of course, I have a list here, you can take a look. Chris smiled broadly, took out a list from the briefcase in his hand, and handed it to the Prince of Basel with respectful hands.
Hum, let’s see, oh, there are only 1,000 people with 1,200 rifles, why do we need 1,200 rifles? The Prince of Basel immediately discovered something was wrong.
This is a desert area, and the damage to weapons is very serious. If there are not enough reserves, I am afraid that the mission will not be successfully completed, so appropriate reserves are necessary. Chris didn't even raise his eyes, and answered very smoothly, as if he had expected it.
The Prince of Basel will have this question.
So why do you need 1,200 pistols? There are actually 100 light machine guns. Is it too outrageous that one of your troops has to operate three weapons at the same time? The Prince of Basel continues to find fault.
Pistols are self-defense weapons and belong to the category of individual weapons. They are indispensable. As for machine guns, my troops have become accustomed to fighting under the cover of machine guns. Without the cooperation of machine guns, they will not be able to successfully complete their mission. Respectfully, Chris
After thinking about it, I added another sentence: I have compressed the unnecessary parts as much as possible. You see, there are no artillery and armored vehicles on this list. This is already the most basic equipment. If you cut out part of it,
, it will definitely affect the battle process, and I think you don’t want to see that happen.
At this moment, Chris seemed to be really thinking from the perspective of the Prince of Basel. He had already saved everything that could be saved. As long as it was on the list, it was all that could not be saved.
It's a pity that the Prince of Basel did not appreciate Chris's sentiments. As soon as Chris finished speaking, the Prince of Basel immediately retorted: Yes, you did not list artillery and armored vehicles. I am very grateful for this, but these more than 150
What's the deal with the car? Are you planning to equip each of them with one?
Chris didn't even need to look at the list. He wrote it down one by one. Of course he knew what was on the list. When he heard Basel's question, Chris immediately answered: Your Excellency, if you need one person and one car,
1,000 vehicles. You see, I didn’t list that many. You know, a small Matador can only seat four people. If you consider the actual combat, it should be three or two people. There are 95 people on it.
It is true that such a large number of matadors are needed to achieve the purpose of combat. Otherwise, if those soldiers of the Brotherhood of Alliance ride on those damn camels, my soldiers will not be able to catch up with them.
The bulldog listed by Chris is not an ordinary bulldog. It is a special vehicle specially developed by Lanfang Royal Automobile Group for desert areas. It not only reduces the overall weight, but also uses wider tires and a more powerful engine.
Ensure that the vehicle will not get stuck when driving on the sand dunes.
Of course, this kind of bulldog is also very valuable. The price of each one is more than 6,000 francs. Chris listed a total of 95 bulldogs, and the total price is not low.
Ha, you are really trying to kill me as a traitor. Look at your current troops. How many Bulldogs are you equipped with? Are there 95 Bulldogs on the entire Djerba Island? You are not going to equip these thousand people at all.
You are basically changing the uniforms of your entire oil field-affiliated troops. Basel doesn't want to be slaughtered by Chris without any explanation. You still have to question when you should question.
You're overthinking, I didn't mean that. There was no embarrassment on Chris's face, but a calm look on his face.
Well, never mind whether Chris means this or not. Chris's attitude is very clear. If you want this force to be dispatched, then it is best to meet all of Chris's requirements. Otherwise, Chris doesn't care who the Mobil oil field belongs to.
Apart from this, are there any other expenses? Basel clearly felt that his breathing was getting heavier. If Chris dared to come up with another list, Basel swore that he would tear it into pieces and smash it in Chris' face.
No more. You should be able to see that all the needed supplies are listed on it, including bullets and gasoline. There is no need for anything else. Chris's face was immediately filled with a smile.
It's best not to happen again, my patience is limited. Basel glared at Chris fiercely, and then signed his name on the list.
