The situation in the city of Conakry deteriorated sharply, with fires raging inside the city, and various vicious crimes such as shootings, arson, rapes and robberies quickly turned into a disaster.
Owl Company, which has always stood still, has received a large number of employment tasks, including multinational companies, local wealthy people, embassies and consulates of Eurasian and other countries, and even a personal asylum request from the Vice President of Guinea, General Lecona.
Located at Seaside Base No. 1, 17 kilometers away from the city of Conakry
Commanders such as Yang Shouhong, Iron Hammer, Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu and Major Hunter were all wearing American desert camouflage military uniforms. In front of them were thousands of soldiers, all in American military uniforms. They looked like regular American troops. Behind them were neatly arranged There are hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, showing a murderous look.
If you take a closer look, you will find that this team is an American army filled with water.
Not to mention the rows of T-64, T-72 tanks, and BTR60 to 80 series wheeled armored vehicles behind them, all of which are authentic Russian equipment. Only the weapons held by the mercenaries are also uneven.
The retired American and British special forces under Major Hunter and Captain Kells hold German-made G36 and American-made M16 assault rifles. Chinese, Lao Maozi and Bantu warriors use AK74. As for other equipment purchased by the mercenaries, The variety is dazzling.
Owl Company is a relatively formal private armed force with heavy equipment and logistical support systems. It is quite good to be able to do this, and its credibility is relatively high.
Scattered mercenaries are more like the green forest tyrants who gather in the mountains and forests. When they encounter a big job, they immediately gather together and disperse after finishing the work. They are vultures chasing danger and war turmoil. They only recognize money and not people.
Seeing the excited expressions of the soldiers who were ready to go, Yang Shouhong nodded with great satisfaction, pointed in the direction of the city with his hand and said;
"There is a turmoil of unprecedented proportions taking place there.
You have experienced veterans here, as well as newcomers who are facing this dangerous situation for the first time. I don’t care where you come from, what abilities you have, or what grudges you have against each other.
Now that I have joined Owl Company, I have to curb my previous sharp edges and obey the orders obediently.
Otherwise, you will definitely regret your impulse.
Now we are ready to gear up and set off. In addition to the established Red River Company security missions, there are also 23 employment commissions that will be completed by different combat groups.
Everyone will set off with the brigade, and after entering the city, they will choose an opportunity to disperse.
The team performing the task must ensure smooth communication and report relevant situations at any time. It is not allowed to change the scope and nature of the task without authorization, and is not allowed to do anything that violates the regulations.
I would like to emphasize one point of discipline now. It is not allowed to shoot and injure anyone unless it does not endanger the life of the employer, the completion of the security mission, or the safety of the soldiers.
Even if you have to shoot, try to avoid killing anyone, and the team leader must make a detailed report on this.
Does everyone understand?"
"Understood."
Nearly a thousand people below answered in unison, and the momentum was truly spectacular.
Yang Shouhong waved his hand and said loudly: "Get ready to go."
In an instant, the neat team dispersed.
The armored soldiers quickly got into the armored vehicles. The armed mercenaries from the United States, Britain, Russia, and China were divided into different teams and boarded the vehicles. A large number of Bantu soldiers could only sit on the military trucks holding AK74s.
Yang Shouhong turned around and explained to Iron Hammer, Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu, Major Hunter, Captain Kells and other commanders one by one;
"The Hammer Stay Base is located in the command center. The action team led by Captain Kells will be sent to the base for protection immediately after receiving General Laikona, Vice President of Guinea.
Listen... I don't care if he is guilty or not, that is not our Owl Company's business. I just want to see a lively General Laiknar.
Because he is an influential figure from the Fula ethnic group, which accounts for 40% of Guinea's population, he cannot be allowed to die in this riot. This bastard is still useful. After entering the base, he will immediately arrange for special personnel to protect him.
Today will be a sleepless night, and big shots will continue to enter the base.
Giving each of them a house, enough food and shutting them up will influence our actions.
Major Hunter and Captain Kells are responsible for leading our experienced guys to complete dangerous mercenary missions. This is your time to show your talents. Let us make a big profit before the iron ore mission begins.
Don’t forget, the chairman promised 5% options, everyone has a share, don’t mess it up with me.”
As soon as he said this, the officers' eyes shone and they shouted with high morale;
"Yes, sir."
Yang Shouhong waved his hand, and the officers immediately scattered away like chicken blood, shouting at his subordinates loudly;
"What are you doing so procrastinatingly? Assholes, get in the car as a team and let us do a good job."
"Hey, bring a few more boxes of bullets for the machine gun. We need continuous firepower. Get up and work, and bring more water and food to maintain long-term combat capabilities. This is not two or three days.
A mission that can be completed."
"Put your fat butts out and run for me. Who the hell is holding me back during the mission? I tied him to the barrel of the 120mm cannon of the T-72 tank and fired him out. It's useless to shout to God, because I am
The nightmare of your life.”
The hard urging of the commanders greatly increased the efficiency of the soldiers. Armored vehicles and tanks in the square started up one after another, and the powerful diesel engines made a dull roar, making the trembling ground tremble.
Everyone is preparing intensively to follow the large group of people into the city to perform the mission.
Yang Shouhong watched the preparations of his men with satisfaction. Although it could not be compared with the regular army of a country with a strong army, it was still a strong army in Africa where Tubal Road was rampant.
Due to the rapid deterioration of the domestic situation in Guinea, Owl Company has mobilized war preparations to the greatest extent, and the scale of dispatch has been expanded several times compared to the original plan.
Base No. 1 and Base No. 2, which are less than ten kilometers apart, in addition to retaining necessary guard personnel and reserve teams, have all other personnel mobilized to perform various employment tasks.
In just half a day, Owl Company has taken over 23 employment tasks.
Among them, there are embassies and consulates in European and Asian countries that are stationed and guarded. Compared with dispatching armed forces from all over the country to protect embassies and consulates, hiring Owl Company is fast, reliable, and the price is not high.
The most important thing is that distant water cannot save nearby fire.
According to Owl Company's price, sending a 24-person team to maintain an armed military presence for two months costs two million US dollars. If necessary, it can also be supported by tanks and armored vehicles. It can be said to be excellent value for money.
The Netherlands, France, Belgium, South Korea, Japan and other countries have all decided on this employment method at the first time to protect their diplomatic teams and families. Compared with sending some armed personnel from home, Owl Company's tanks and armored vehicles are more reliable.
.
Vale and Rio Tinto adopt a different employment method, which not only ensures the safety of personnel, but also escorts them to dangerous areas, so the employment price reaches US$4.5 million.
There is also the protection of some VIPs and the protection of key financial institutions such as multinational banks, which includes General Laikona's asylum request.
Owl Company has opened its doors to accept employment tasks, and the number of manpower dispatched has of course greatly increased. Not to mention that for tasks such as blocking off the street where the Honghe Company office building and warehouse are located, and distributing relief materials, the existing manpower is actually a bit tight.
"Hey, Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu, I think you're a little moody..."
Yang Shouhong was in the headquarters and suddenly called out to Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu, who was walking over. He looked up and down and said, "What's going on?"
"Haha, sir, nothing's wrong."
"No, I feel that something is wrong with you. Let's talk about it. Don't keep it in your heart."
"Uh...okay."
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu let out a long sigh of relief and said, "What do you think of our company? Fighting for money always feels weird, and it goes against the education I have received, and also goes against my own philosophy.
Anyway, now that you're here, let's face reality.
But the strength of this armored battalion under my command has been dismantled to pieces, and a commander like me has no use for it! How can we not make people depressed?"
After hearing this, Yang Shouhong's face immediately became clouded, and he stared at Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu without saying a word.
The surrounding atmosphere immediately solidified, as if a heavy pressure fell on Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu, even with a bone-chilling killing intent.
The staff officers nearby sensed an approaching storm, looked at each other, and quietly slipped out of the headquarters.
Sure enough, Yang Shou Hong Lei exploded in rage;
"Although Owl Company is not an army, everyone who joins this private armed force is voluntary. After joining, they must carry out orders unconditionally, no matter who they are or what country they come from?
Whether you like the tasks you perform or not?
Even in the face of a hail of bullets, you must go ahead if given the order, without any choice.
The purpose of dismantling the armored battalion is to meet the needs of the mission. I can't let the guys fight the bullets of the thugs with their shirtless bodies, but gather all the armored vehicles for you to command and play.
Bastard, we are not an army and do not need to charge head-on on the battlefield, but mercenaries performing defense tasks.
I have no obligation to explain your ideals and responsibilities to you, nor do I intend to comment on your education, nor will I tell you any great truths. You are just a damn mercenary, a mercenary who sells his life for money.
From the day you sign the contract until the last day you execute the contract, you must act in accordance with the order and put away all your ridiculous little ideas.
The armored battalion is not your personal armored battalion. The large corps you expected to fight fiercely on the battlefield, with glorious achievements, can wait for you to lust after you lie in bed.
The premise is to complete the task without compromise.
Otherwise, I don't mind opening a bloody hole in your head. Now take action and lead your team to see if you are a slogan giant, an ideal coward, or a qualified mercenary.
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu, you really disappoint me."
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu was dumbfounded by the ruthless reprimand. He had never experienced such a cold and mean comment before. It was simply unacceptable.
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu is a very aggressive soldier. He strives to be the best from the military academy to the army. He has always been a pacesetter. How could he endure such an insult?
His lips were blue with anger, and he was trembling a little and couldn't speak.
Yang Shouhong asked solemnly, "Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu, did you hear what I said?"
"I heard you, sir."
"Speak louder, are you a pussy? Speak louder."
"I heard it, sir." Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu shouted almost at the top of his lungs.
Like a devil, Yang Shouhong poked Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu's chest with his hand and said viciously: "You are an adult in his 40s, do you still want me to tell you why you are staying here? Don't tell me.
You want to go back to nurse. If your soldiers can’t be brought to the battlefield, they will cry. I’ll see if I can find a wet nurse for you.”
"No need for a commander, I promise to complete the mission."
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu pulled his neck and shouted, the veins on his neck were exposed, and tears were shining in his eyes. He wished he could die on the battlefield at this moment.
"Take your armored convoy and set off."
"Yes, sir."
Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu ran back to the armored convoy, waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
The armored convoy with rumbling engines was spitting out thick black smoke. One after another, they filed out, formed a long queue of lights along the wide road of Base 1, and roared towards the city of Conakry.
Inside the base
Tie Chui walked to Yang Shouhong and sighed softly and said, "Staff officer, I don't know whether I should say this or not. Your reaction tonight was really too much. Well, I'm afraid Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu is thinking..."
"Then he is unqualified and can go back to where he came from."
"Is this... not too harsh?"
"Hammer, you know, each of us is under extremely heavy pressure, but the total pressure is not as great as the pressure on the chairman. The iron ore projects in Australia and Guinea involve so much of the chairman's energy, and even the entire
You have put down all the consortium matters and are waiting for news from us in South Africa. Why is that?"
Yang Shouhong turned around and looked at the hammer with shining eyes, and said word by word: "The iron ore project is of great significance and has a particularly profound impact on domestic heavy industry. The consortium has never embarked on this project to make money, but to give back to the motherland.
The reason why the chairman did this thankless task is because he has the sincere heart of a Chinese son and wants to do something for our nation.
If we have little ability, we will share some of the burden for him. If Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Hu is limited to his own small circle and can't manage it, then he is not qualified to stay here, and I don't have time to tutor him, which will also cause chaos here."
Iron Hammer was silent. After a moment, he raised his head and said emotionally, "Staff Officer, I support you."
