After returning to the temporary camp, the actuary set off. Reported the current general situation to Lin Rui.
Actuary Jiang An handled the specific affairs of the mercenary alliance quite well. The mercenary alliance, which had always been leaderless, had temporarily settled down.
Lin Rui looked at the report submitted by the actuary and nodded to him, "I already knew that I should leave these matters to you."
¡°Actually, I don¡¯t play a big role. What plays a big role are the service departments we brought over from Russia.
This group of people is quite capable. They are accountants, lawyers, and other non-military personnel. They handle everything, including various contracts, business disputes, and various complex accounting issues.
I am just responsible for scheduling and commanding. "The actuary Jiang An smiled.
"Yes, it's finally time to use the people we recruited from the Russian branch." Lin Rui nodded, "But it's time for us to think about our own affairs?
What do you think about establishing a permanent base? "
"This is necessary. Our business is getting bigger and bigger, and this time we have gained such huge benefits in the mercenary alliance.
Our business will further expand. Currently, our business share in Africa has reached nearly 20%.
This is the first time since the dissolution of Black Island Company that a private military company has reached such a large scale.
And it is foreseeable that in the next few years, our business will develop rapidly, and sooner or later we will rush to 30% of the market share.
From an investment perspective, we are a high-quality stock with great potential. "The actuary smiled.
¡°So, we have to establish a headquarters base camp. Just like the previous Black Island, it can ensure that our troops can be quickly deployed to any corner of Africa.
What considerations do you have regarding location? Lin Rui asked, looking at the actuary.
The actuary took off his glasses and wiped them with a handkerchief. ¡°We had to find a suitable location, and we also had to take into account the stability of the local political situation.
After adding these up, there are actually not many locations to choose from. I did some research after you mentioned it last time.
?Choose one of several alternatives, the location is Lake Victoria. "
"Lake Victoria?" Lin Rui frowned slightly.
"Yes, the largest lake in Africa. Most of it is in Tanzania and Uganda, and a small part belongs to Kenya.
The lake basin covers an area of ??238,900 square kilometers. The lake area is one of the most densely populated areas in Africa, with millions of people living within a radius of 80 kilometers along the coast, almost all of whom speak Bantu languages. There are local steamboats plying the lake.
Since the 1990s, Lake Victoria ferries have become an important means of transportation between Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya.
There is a nice island there with a very good location, and water transport planes can dock or take off at any time.
? There we can avoid distractions and are strategically located to reach other parts of Africa quickly. ¡± explained actuary Masakishi.
"Sounds good." Lin Rui nodded.
¡°The important thing is that the island used to be the station of the French army. Later, the French army withdrew and the island remained.
There is some infrastructure on the island, but it is all abandoned. If it is reorganized, it can be put into use in a short time.
I have already contacted the relevant countries and asked them to lease this island. If nothing goes wrong, the lease can last for thirty or fifty years.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡¯¡¯¡¯With a small amount of money, we can get the right to use it?¡± But other construction including the island is a big expense.
But with our current capabilities, these are not problems at all. As long as you nod, I will find someone to take care of it immediately. "
Lin Rui nodded, "Is there any problem?"
"Absolutely not. I have already investigated the details. If we win the place, we will start construction."
I estimate it will be ready for use next summer. Of course, this is a process and cannot be achieved overnight.
Compared with this, I am more concerned about the recruitment of personnel. After the base is built, the company needs to expand in size and we need a large number of personnel.
The area around Lake Victoria is the most densely populated area in Africa, and we can set up a training camp there. It can provide us with a large number of soldiers every year.
You also know that Uganda?At present, it is the largest exporting country of mercenaries in Africa. Many people there are willing to join mercenaries, and most of them have experience in military combat.
? ?This is also an advantage for us. "The actuary Jiang'an nodded.
"How is the current recruitment situation of various units?" Lin Rui asked.
¡°From the current point of view, the situation is quite good. Most of the troops we lost before have been effectively replaced.
But just basic troop resources are not enough. We are already thinking of ways to recruit some backbone personnel, mainly retired soldiers. Certainly not in Africa.
African soldiers have good physical strength but are lazy; they have good physical fitness but are undisciplined and timid. The military quality is quite poor. This is why they are cheap.
So the most ideal target is European and American countries. Especially some military powers. The military quality of the soldiers there is guaranteed, and like Russia or the United States, they have retired soldiers who have participated in combat.
Some of them fought in the Caucasus, and some of them fought in Afghanistan. There are also some professional mercenaries who do this as a career.
These people charge high prices, but there is a reason for the high prices. Compared with those African black brothers, they have more military qualities. "The actuary Masaki replied.
"Yes, if we want a group of newly joined African mercenaries to have a look, we must have this kind of old guy. Only such experienced veterans are the real backbone. The higher the price, the higher the price, but I must find it." The best." Lin Rui nodded.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, boss, the company¡¯s human resources department is working on this matter.
We have launched open recruitment to multiple countries through website announcements.
The risks in this line of work are quite high, but the income is attractive enough. As long as the salary offered is generous enough, there will be no shortage of people signing up. "The actuary Shogan nodded.
"Finally I can take a break for a while." Lin Rui sat on the chair. "This period of time is really tiring. We have just finished our mission in Western Sahara and are busy fighting for power in the mercenary alliance.
It¡¯s time to take advantage of this opportunity to let the brothers recuperate and take a big vacation. "
Actuary Shogan nodded, "I think so too, but I'm afraid we haven't rested yet."
"What do you mean? Is there a new commission?" Lin Rui frowned.
