Due to some special reasons, novels are promoted and movies and TV dramas are exaggerated. Some people in China have always thought that mercenaries are a very profitable profession. There are even people on the Internet bragging that they are mercenaries and are going to fight and want to take a look at some place. people.
But in fact, the income of mercenaries is probably the same as that of ordinary people. It is not like what everyone thinks of a mission of millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars, leading a life of debauchery. It may be possible, but this kind of business can only last for a few years. Basically it won't happen once.
The highest mercenary remuneration was once paid by a dictatorship in Africa, Gaddafi. At that time, in order to fight against the power of Western countries, he used a large amount of gold to hire a large number of mercenaries. It was called a mercenary's feast, and it was as high as 500 US dollars a day. The price is enough to drive mercenaries crazy.
In addition, there are Colombian drug lords who once spent a lot of money to hire thousands of mercenaries to fight against the government forces. However, their billing unit is not US dollars, but drugs. For one kilogram of drugs a day, the price is higher, but The prerequisite is that you must be able to sell it.
Most of the time, the life of a mercenary is unremarkable. They accept a mission and earn tens to a hundred dollars a day to patrol and garrison somewhere.
If you go to war, just add more money, and the combat effectiveness of mercenaries is not very high. Most of them are retired soldiers who make a living and paddle on the battlefield. After all, who would work hard for so little money a day?
The real money maker is PMC. You can get hundreds of thousands of dollars for one task. Yu Zhi is doing this kind of tens of thousands of dollars business. The big PMCs don't look at it at all. Armored and armed, these companies are absolutely armed. They take over the national defense of a small country. The annual budget for the mission is hundreds of millions of dollars.
For these mercenary groups, the best business is this kind of robbery business, which costs 200,000 per time, time period, and high profits. Similar businesses to this include assassination missions. Of course, these missions are illegal. Otherwise, the price would not be so high.
After reading the information, Lamia threw it aside: "Don't get too happy too soon. The target of this mission is a Chinese company. We must not leave any traces, otherwise we may be unlucky. No one is allowed to wear identification marks, and We will leave here today and ambush them on their only way. Don’t let anyone know that we have accepted this mission, especially you two, Huck, Lewis, you two big mouths. If the news is leaked, I'll blow your heads off!"
"Boss, don't worry, we won't talk nonsense!"
"Boss, you know me, I have a very strict mouth!"
The two people immediately said that they would not talk nonsense. Lamia picked up his weapons and looked at his subordinates: "Guys, after finishing this job, we will leave this damn place. Now everyone prepares. Let’s go to the edge of Route 6 tonight and wait for them to come!”
"good!"
A group of people screamed excitedly again. Some of these mercenaries are lunatics. They love fighting, crazy love, and this exciting feeling. They are only a minority, but aren't lunatics the most indispensable thing in the world?
The Silver Hand mercenary group here has begun preparations. Yu Zhiqian's convoy has just left the port area and was stopped by the Cape Town traffic police before it left the city limits of Cape Town. Come down.
The fine was said to be due to overloading. The fine was 10,000 rand, 10,000 rand per car, a total of 50,000 rand. However, in the end, after Yu Zhiqian gave a thousand rand to the two policemen, the team continued One trip.
Cape Town is the most prosperous city in South Africa or the whole of Africa. It was once the capital of a developed country. Although it quickly degenerated into a developing country, the buildings and various facilities built back then were quite complete. , so it looks like some third-tier cities in China.
But outside Cape Town, the desolate side of Africa is revealed to everyone. In everyone's impression, highways should be flat asphalt roads, and the roads in South African cities are pretty good. After all, I still have some foundation.
But after leaving the city, the dilapidated side is fully visible. A dilapidated road that was built at some point in the last century is the so-called expressway. Oh no, it is called a national highway here.
There are black people walking on both sides of the road, and occasionally you can see some corpses. It is hard to imagine that there is an international city less than a few kilometers behind you.
Yu Zhiqian sat in the car and looked out the window. The eyes of these black people looked at the convoy. Some were frightened, some were envious, and most were greedy. They were all imagining that if they could snatch these things, some of them would take them out. I made a call on my cell phone, not knowing what I was planning.
"What a good country, it has not experienced much turmoil, and it has become like this!" John looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly sighed.
John has the right to speak, because this guy has lived here for many years. After lowering the car window, John lit a cigarette and slowly said: "When I came to South Africa, South Africa was not like this, at least it wasn't like this. It's so bad now. The current wage level in South Africa is equivalent to that of the 1970s, and it's still going backwards. I think South Africa may become a backward country soon!"
"Maybe, but it has nothing to do with us!" After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he picked up the walkie-talkie: "Liu Wenlong, how is the situation over there?"
"Report to the captain, there are no special circumstances at the moment!"
"Got it, if you encounter any problems, please notify me as soon as possible and don't get out of the car!"
"receive!"
Not long after he finished speaking, the leading vehicle in front stopped, and the truck also stopped. Yu Zhiqian frowned and controlled the vehicle to overtake the truck and come to the position of the first vehicle: "What happened!"
"Head, there are black people blocking the road ahead. They are standing in the middle of the road holding hands and asking us to pay tolls!"
"Let me see!"
After Yu Zhiqian parked his vehicle, he saw a group of black people holding hands and sitting cross-legged on the ground in the middle of the road. A relatively sturdy black man stood in the middle of the road holding a stick and pointed at the vehicle. point.
"Pete, get out of the car with me, John, if there's any problem, just shoot!"
They were robbed on the road. The robbers were a group of unarmed women and children. Yu Zhiqian had encountered them many times in South Africa before, and it was very common.
When this group of people receive news that a convoy is going to pass through their village, they will gather their friends on the road and charge a certain fee. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to pass. This is also a way for African indigenous people to make money.
