Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the next few days, the colonel¡¯s people did not bother them again.  The black militants walked around when they saw the O2 mercenaries.  And Karl didn't break his promise. He used various channels to help Lin Rui and others find mercenaries.  Fortunately, you can always find some black market mercenaries in places like this.  However, not many meet the requirements of Lin Rui and others.

    ??The first thing is to be proficient in weapons, have experienced combat, and be able to basically communicate in English, and do not want the sick or disabled.  Although this requirement is not excessive, only a few people can meet it.  But because their prices are not low, they attract a lot of people.

    There are many people nearby, all desperadoes who have trouble living in several countries at the same time.  Now that there is an opportunity to make money, they will not give up.  After a few days, Lin Rui and others were able to recruit a group of people, but the number was still far short of what they wanted.

    Lin Rui and others were sitting in the tavern. Snake Eyes walked in from the outside. He put his cowboy hat on the table and sat opposite Lin Rui.

    Lin Rui looked up at him and said, "How is it? How is the recruitment going?"

    "Not very good. That Karl spent a long time and only recruited more than two hundred people, and they were all not very good people." Snake Eyes replied.

    "What we want are ordinary mercenaries, not an elite team. It doesn't matter whether they are of a certain quality, as long as they meet the basic conditions." Lin Rui shook his head.

    Snake Eyes said helplessly, "But what we need is at least five hundred. At least this number can meet our current needs. If this continues, we will have to wait at least two more weeks to complete this mission. I just want to leave this ghost as soon as possible.  place."

    "Maybe I can help you." A black man came in from outside and said.

    Lin Rui turned his head and looked at this person, frowned slightly and said, "You? Colonel, I remember you said you would not interfere with our affairs here."

    "Of course, but I also want you to leave my territory as soon as possible." The colonel looked at them, and the several bodyguards behind him were full of alertness.  The colonel seemed relatively calm. He was a local leader here. Although he was a little afraid of mercenaries like Lin Rui, he also understood that these mercenaries would not deliberately cause trouble for him.

    "Don't look at me like that. I'm just making a suggestion out of good intentions." The colonel shrugged.

    "Let's talk about it." Lin Rui looked at him and said.

    "I heard that you are looking for black market mercenaries, but mercenaries have been hard to find recently. I have a way, but I don't know if you dare to do it." The colonel looked at Lin Rui and said.  "I know there is a training camp about seventy kilometers away from here. There may be the manpower you need there."

    "Training camp? What training camp?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "You should know that I used to be a member of the Ugandan Resistance Army, so I know something about their situation. A few years ago, the Ugandan Resistance Army was severely hit, and the number was once reduced to two or three hundred people. But that is only official data, some of which  Things cannot be reflected in official data." The colonel waved.  One of his men came up and poured him a glass of wine.

    "What exactly are you trying to say? What's in that training camp?" Snake Eyes looked at the colonel and asked.

    "It was a child soldier training camp. The Ugandan Resistance Army hid a total of four to five hundred child soldiers there. They played a very important role in the confrontation with the government forces. The leader was me.  The enemy." The colonel was silent for a while and said, "If you kill him, you might be able to take over this child army."

    "Child soldier!" Snake Eyes said in surprise.

    No one really knows how many child soldiers there are in the world, but according to one data, the total number of child soldiers in the world exceeded 300,000 as of 2008, accounting for almost a quarter of the total number of soldiers in warring parties in global conflicts.  To this day, there are records of more than 70 military organizations in 19 countries around the world recruiting and using child soldiers to fight.

    The phenomenon of child soldiers is even more serious in Africa.  Rebel groups in Uganda often use kidnapping and other methods to capture children, forcing these children around the age of ten to participate in fighting.  This is one of the reasons why the Ugandan Resistance Army is infamous.

    From a psychological perspective, teenagers aged 13 or 14 generally have "youth phobia". At this age, they like to be rebellious and impulsive, and they will be more unscrupulous and reckless than adults on the battlefield.  In addition, teenagers aged 13 or 14 are more likely to accept the war "subculture".

    Subculture refers to non-mainstream and local cultural phenomena, which belong to the unique concepts and lifestyles of a certain region or a certain group.  For teenagers aged 13 or 14, the mainstream culture should be to read books and do good deeds, but rebel armed groups have created a "subculture" atmosphere for them, allowing child soldiers to be good at fighting and killing people in war.Armed organizations will label the killings of child soldiers with slogans such as "national liberation". With these moral supports, child soldiers will be more brave and cruel on the battlefield.  Because they are underage and lack a sense of moral guilt, these child soldiers are often more cruel than adults.

    "You want us to hire children to fight? Who the hell do you think we are?!" Snake Eyes snapped.

    "Colonel, what we want is not a group of children who can kill people." Lin Rui said with a serious face, "What we want are mercenaries. Maybe we are not good people, but at least we want to recruit adults with independent abilities."

    "Stop your self-righteous talk. We all know what mercenaries are like." The colonel said slowly.  "You have no idea what child soldiers are. But I know that I was once a child soldier myself.

    In the 1970s, I joined the army at the age of ten and worked as a porter for a week, transporting ammunition; then I was trained to fight, learning how to use machetes, mines and machine guns, and fire rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

    ¡°A week later, they ordered me to rob and kill.  They said: 'Now we have given you the power to kill, you must do it, if you don't we will kill you.  ¡¯ A few hours later, we came to a small village to grab food and supplies.  The village was mostly filled with women and children, and they ordered me to kill these people.

    I just paused for a moment, and then they hit me with a machete.  ¡°The colonel rolled up his sleeves and his arms were covered in scars.

    ¡°So I closed my eyes and started killing people. It was such a painful experience. In the following years, I was forced to commit many atrocities and kill many civilians. Only by killing them could I survive and have something to eat.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have time to think so much about the lives of innocent civilians.  It wasn't until 2005 when they were caught in an ambush by the Ugandan government forces and most of them were captured by the government forces that I finally escaped from that hellish place.  "The colonel said calmly.

    "This has nothing to do with us." Lin Rui shook his head.

    "My men are all well-trained hands. If you help me win that training camp, I will hand over my men to you. They should also be happy to go out as mercenaries to make some money so that they can integrate into normal life in the future.  . But in exchange, you have to release those child soldiers." The colonel looked at him and said, "And hand over the person in charge of that training camp to me. This is my condition."
