After the meeting, Lin Rui and others returned to Silver Wolf.
"It seems that Mr. K is quite trustworthy. At least he helped a lot this time." Lin Rui whispered.
"I'm afraid that's not his original intention. He may be able to help us, but he doesn't have the ability to do this." Silver Wolf shook his head. "In my opinion, neither the U.S. military nor its senior officials want to see chaos within the mercenary alliance at this time. Their main target is still the Middle East, so they need mercenaries in Africa who can help them."
"That should be the case." Jiang An nodded. "The U.S. intelligence agencies are also aware of the existence of the secret society, and they also want to use us to assist African countries to control the situation, lest the secret society expand rapidly and eventually reach a point where no one can limit it."
Lin Rui took a deep breath and said, "But this time it is indeed dangerous. Hughes and Qiao have contacted many military companies and are preparing to question Silver Wolf at this meeting and attack in groups. In the end, they will force him to leave. The league president stepped down and replaced him. Many people have been persuaded by them. Without the last wave of calls, it would be difficult to say the outcome."
Silver Wolf sat in front of the big desk, silent.
"What's wrong Silver Wolf, this is a good thing, isn't it?" Sergey frowned, "Finally we had some emergency funds, and we also kept our seat in the Mercenary Alliance. The result is not too bad after all, Isn¡¯t it?¡±
"What I'm worried about is not this, but other things." Silver Wolf whispered, "The CIA is willing to help us like this, and it must have ulterior motives. Whatever they do will not be in vain."
¡°But this is the condition that Mr. Ignore him either, this operation has been so miserably hidden from us."
"Forget it, forget about this." Silver Wolf shook his head and said, "Although Hughes and others were deliberately making things difficult for us just now, he was right about one thing. Our current financial situation is not optimistic. Fortunately, last time We have already received payment from Aladdin for the mission in Greece. Although it is not much, it is enough to help us survive this period of time.
"However, the economy has temporarily eased, but the personnel cannot be careless. This time, our several battles have caused serious damage to our vitality. There were many casualties and the combat capability was greatly reduced. I think I need to take the time to add it. What suggestions do you have? "
Black Panther Gulei nodded and said, "Manpower is indeed a big problem. Otherwise, even if a mission comes and we don't have the manpower, how should we deal with it?"
"That's what I'm thinking too." Silver Wolf nodded, "What's your plan?"
"In the current situation, we don't have much time and energy to find people for training, and what we want is not an elite team like O2, but ordinary combatants. It is best to supplement them in Africa, some with basic combat experience , combatants who know how to operate weapons and do not need a lot of time to train." Black Panther Gulei replied. "My personal preference is to go to Uganda."
At present, mercenaries are already a mature industry. They are generally employed by private security companies and are often sent to war-torn areas, and many of these low-level mercenaries come from the East African country of Uganda.
In fact, although today¡¯s Uganda is adjacent to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan, two countries with ongoing civil strife, the political situation is relatively stable, the economy continues to grow, consumer demand is also rising, and shopping malls are spread throughout the capital city of Kampala. Like many relatively backward countries, Uganda's economic development mainly relies on foreign investment. However, it has an export specialty that others cannot match - mercenaries.
There are traces of mercenaries everywhere in Uganda. On TV, a company called Middle East Consultants is showing a recruitment advertisement: looking for strong young men to be stationed in Dubai; chatting with taxi drivers, you will find that almost everyone has friends or relatives who have been mercenaries. Official statistics are not available on how many mercenaries Uganda, with a population of only 37 million, exports every year.
What is known is that in Iraq, Ugandans provide security for U.S. diplomats in Baghdad and Basra; they are also employers of foreign businessmen and international aid agencies in Afghanistan and Somalia; and they rely on them to patrol government offices in Qatar when it hosts the 2022 football match. During the World Cup, the people standing guard inside and outside the stadium are likely to be Ugandans.
¡° Some of these mercenaries are elites who have received special American anti-terrorism training in Jordan, but most of them have not received professional training at all before going to foreign countries to perform tasks. As long as they are 170 centimeters tall, they can be called upon.
Tempted by the salary, many young Ugandans are eager to join the ranks of overseas mercenaries even if they have no experience with weapons. If they can return home safely, they can use the money they earn to buy land, build houses, and open shops, greatly improving their lives.
Mercenaries are an important source of foreign exchange earnings for Uganda. Statistics from the Ministry of Women, Labor and Social Development show that in 2009, the foreign currency sent back by mercenaries from overseas exceeded their income from coffee exports.
The Kampala branch of Interpol is responsible for conducting background checks on Ugandans who are about to be sent overseas to do security work. Only those who pass the test can obtain exit permits to ensure that these people are not recruited by extremist organizations to become terrorists. There are about 1,000 such reviews every month, excluding those who are stationed in non-sensitive areas without review, those whose licenses have expired and failed to report in time, or those who smuggled out. Industry insiders conservatively estimate that the total number of Ugandan mercenaries currently working overseas is around 20,000.
These mercenaries are proficient in using weapons and have experienced actual combat, so going to Uganda to find mercenaries is a shortcut.
Many local companies in the mercenary business in Uganda are also growing day by day. Askar Security Services was the first local company to provide services to Western military contractors during the Iraq War, sending thousands of Ugandans to Iraq. Its headquarters office building has a large independent area and is currently very famous in Uganda.
Black Panther Gulei also had some interactions with this company, so he proposed to rent a group of personnel through local military contractors to come over for emergency response.
"Lease?" Lin Rui frowned, "Can this still happen?"
"Yes, their mercenaries are idle when they have no missions. We rent mercenaries from them through a lease agreement to use them for our missions. During the lease period, we are responsible for the maintenance of these mercenaries. Salary costs are cheaper than direct recruitment. And if you think they are good, you can negotiate a contract with them and transfer people to us." Black Panther Gulei nodded.
