In addition to combat training, the mercenaries also demonstrated simple subjects such as shooting training and group tactical cooperation, demonstrating their proficient military skills.
Especially among them are retired veterans of the US and British special operations forces. Their tactical movements are as slippery as loaches. You can tell at a glance that they are veterans who have been on the battlefield and have very solid military skills.
More than two hours later
Near noon, the military exercises in the valley came to an end.
"Chairman, this is retired armored regiment commander Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu, and this is Major Hunter from the special operations group. He is now the main commander of our operations department and my deputy."
The two capable middle-aged men introduced by Iron Hammer, both in their 40s, showed the unique ability of professional soldiers in their manners. They raised their hands in a military salute.
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu's salute was a standard Chinese military salute, while Major Hunter's was much more casual. He raised two fingers on the brim of his hat, giving him a sense of familiarity with an American soldier.
Wang Yaocheng had a panoramic view of everything, with a kind smile on his face, and said; "Everything is done well. It can be seen that the soldiers are well trained. These Bantu soldiers have decent military qualities, although they are not as good as the elites."
It's slightly lacking in comparison, but the high morale is commendable.
Although this is a mercenary company, the soldiers fight for money.
But a fighting force cannot lack brave morale. I saw this on the acting field today, which makes me very satisfied."
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu has an upright military character and speaks bluntly;
"Thank you Chairman for the compliment, but I still want to rush to Guinea as soon as possible to take over the equipment. The armored battalion is nothing without the equipment. Carrying a gun and crawling around on the training ground is not our strong point." Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu is an upright person.
military character
"Haha, this positive attitude of asking for a fight is very good. If you don't tell us, we will arrange it as soon as possible."
"Then I have no problem."
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu saluted again with a standard military salute, took a step back, closed his mouth tightly, and stood as straight as an unsheathed sword. It seemed that he did not want to continue talking.
Wang Yaocheng had a very good impression of him. Owl Company returned to China to recruit volunteer mercenaries and was able to successfully recruit key members of the retired Ace Armor Regiment. It was absolutely unreasonable to blame it on luck.
This may be a tacit understanding, but Wang Yaocheng is very knowledgeable.
As for retired Major Hunter of the U.S. Delta Force and a group of American and British special forces, they are fighting purely for money. As long as the money is in place, the combat effectiveness of these mercenaries is completely trustworthy.
After all, in the mercenary circle, reputation is very important. What you do is a business that licks blood on the tip of a knife. A failed commission can be enough to plunge you into a situation of no return.
Wang Yaocheng exchanged greetings with the main officers of Owl Company one by one, and his words were full of solicitations and promises of benefits, which made Major Hunter and other foreign officers very excited.
As long as you have outstanding performance on the Guinea iron ore project and successfully complete the task of ensuring the construction of the construction team, you can consider rewarding some Owl companies with stock options of no more than 5% in addition to generous remuneration.
These stock options are worth approximately tens of millions of dollars and will be shared by the company's core management.
Wang Yaocheng's skill is very good, it is like drawing a big cake and hanging it in front of everyone. The implication is that if it is done well, you can eat it, but if it is not done well, you will get nothing.
In the eyes of mercenaries who work for money, it is an irresistible temptation.
Wang Yaocheng may not care about the Owl Security Company. This asset is nothing in his eyes, but these foreign mercenary officers are different. They are instantly attracted to it, which is more effective than any big reason.
With investment from the consortium, Owl Company has established several bases in South Africa and Guinea. It owns airport facilities, tanks and armored vehicles, helicopters, artillery and other heavy equipment. It ranks among the top among more than a thousand security companies in South Africa and has bright development prospects.
.
This 5% stock option is not just money, but also a kind of identity card and ownership. The identity is similar to the transformation from guerrilla to regular army.
Anyone who dares to prevent these foreign officers from successfully completing their missions and obtaining stock options is truly an out-and-out enemy, and they may even draw their guns and kill them.
Looking at the fiery eyes of the foreign officers, Wang Yaocheng knew that the effect had been achieved. He was familiar with this little trick. It was very useful in attracting high-end talents in consortiums and companies, and he was equally effective in mercenary companies.
The gold mining base covers a vast area, especially the underground mines that have been mined for more than 100 years. They are as dense as a spider web and extend darkly into the endless distance.
these countless years
Countless black slaves died in the mines, adding a sense of silent mystery and fear. At night, the howling wind from nowhere made the valley even more eerie.
Since the gold mine was abandoned, even the wandering poor black people have not dared to stay here. These tribal black people believe in ghosts and gods for fear of being swallowed by the deep black hole.
The Owl Company bought the abandoned gold mine in Nuoda in the valley for only US$1.1 million, and spent millions of US dollars on its renovation.
The underground spider web-like mine caves have been sealed with thick concrete, leaving some spacious caves used as caverns to store weapons, ammunition and military training, and some of them have been converted into barracks and officer dormitories.
Therefore, it seems that there are not many buildings on the ground, but there is a unique cave underground.
These underground caves are warm in winter and cool in summer. After the abandoned mine caves were blocked with concrete, the ubiquitous howl of the wind completely disappeared. After renovation and adding air circulation facilities, they can be used as residences quite well.
several days
Wang Yaocheng and his party all live here. While getting to know the conditions of the base in depth, being here is a bit like a wild outing and adventure, especially living in a cave has a unique sense of wildness.
"My dear, shall we go hunting in the mountains tomorrow?"
The blond Richards Theron was holding two oak beer glasses in his hands, which were filled with golden beer with white foam. He handed a glass to Wang Yaocheng and drank it generously from the huge oak cup.
He took a big mouthful and said happily, "It's cool, that's what drinking beer is."
Returning to South Africa, where she was born, Richards Theron has tempered her glamorous edge in Hollywood and is more like a beautiful woman at home, wearing a plaid shirt and drinking beer, living a casual and comfortable life.
This huge cave is more than ten meters high and is still surrounded by rough quarried rock walls. It is divided into bedrooms, study rooms, living rooms and bathrooms with concrete walls. The huge bed in the bedroom is covered with white fur cushions, and the wall lamp shaped like a torch adds to the atmosphere.
A rough style.
Wang Yaocheng walked to the sofa with a beer glass and sat down, and responded casually: "Okay, I just have itchy hands and want to get addicted to guns. I will organize a hunting team to go around the mountains tomorrow. Maybe I can shoot something.
What a beast."
"This is very possible. I heard Major Hunter say that there is a beast breeding farm a few dozen kilometers further into the mountains, which raised hundreds of African lions, cheetahs, black bears and other beasts. Later, this breeding farm closed down and no one asked.
Yes, it is said that many ferocious beasts have fled into the mountains and forests, and there are reports of injuries to people."
"Haha, humans are more terrifying than beasts. The public security in Johannesburg is terrible..."
Richards Theron laughed when he heard this, came over and sat next to Wang Yaocheng, stretched out his beer glass to touch him and said, "Girls who come out from here think that the rest of the world is paradise. I just went to the United States."
When I was on the California coast, looking at the kind smiles of those black people, I felt like I was going crazy, why didn’t they rob or rape me?”
"Richards, that's how it should be. Everything here is distorted. The hatred between whites and blacks, the hatred between rich and poor, and the hatred of social injustice are all accumulating and fermenting, and they are developing in a pathological direction. That's terrible.
It’s not a good thing.”
Wang Yaocheng shook his head and said nothing. In fact, he had nothing to say.
Although Johannesburg is the capital of South Africa and an international metropolis with the largest population, the average unemployment rate is as high as 50%, and the unemployment rate for blacks is as high as over 70%. This has resulted in an abnormally high crime rate, which is the most disturbing situation.
A city of crime that people fear.
here
If you haven't encountered a robbery or a shooting, you simply can't say you have been to Johannesburg. These vicious crimes and shootings are as common as eating and drinking. Brooklyn, where New York's gangs are rampant, is a little brother compared to here.
Take taxis as an example. In principle, they will not pick up roving customers on the roadside because you don’t know whether they will pull out a gun and put it to their head. The probability is as high as 80%.
Tourists are advised not to take buses because you are likely to be robbed at gunpoint by several people on the bus.
It is best not to go shopping alone. The principle is the same as above.
Even though Wang Yaocheng and his convoy were armed with live ammunition, it was still difficult to restrain the gangsters on the roadside who were about to move, but they retreated under the dark muzzles of the heavily armed bodyguards.
Therefore, it is better to do less than to do more.
Wang Yaocheng and his party simply live in the gold mining base and don't go to Johannesburg to show off when there is nothing to do. They will avoid being remembered by the local gangs and start another fight. They are just asking for trouble.
The wealthy areas and large companies in Johannesburg are all located in the suburbs, and are tightly sealed off like military bases. This is also a helpless move for security reasons.
These days, the members of Wang Yaocheng's team are doing their own thing and are busy with the things they are doing.
The chief of staff has led his men to Guinea. Wilkinson and the senior executives of South Africa's Guinea Bank who are responsible for contact have also taken separate actions to conduct close consultations with business leaders from Britain, France and other countries who are interested in investing. They are also accompanied by relevant responsible persons from Swire Shipping, China Electric Power Company and Carrefour Group.
Everyone has also gone to arrange investment and implementation matters.
Every investment here takes two to three years or even longer to complete.
The top moves his mouth, the bottom runs and breaks his legs.
After the big boss finalizes the investment intention, a lot of tedious and specific work will be completed by professional managers, who will present the blueprint outlined by the big boss bit by bit.
All the boss needs to do is to make a final inspection and give a few words of encouragement, and his subordinates will become excited and eager to succeed in their careers.
Although it sounds ridiculous, that's actually what happens.
The reason why Wang Yaocheng stayed in the gold mining base and still had time to go hunting with his lover was to wait for news from Wilkinson and had nothing to do for the time being.
After the initial intention is reached, Wang Yaocheng will meet with business leaders who invest in Guinea's iron ore to make appropriate arrangements for relevant issues.
It would be unwise to rush to Guinea before everything is settled.
