- I heard actuary Jiang An say that employers are very willing to spend money. All the mercenaries laughed.
Lin Rui also joked, ¡°The U.S. dollar has depreciated a bit recently.¡±
"The United States has sent someone to contact us and expressed that they are willing to pay this amount this time. And they will pay half in advance. After the operation is successful, the balance will be paid immediately." The actuary Jiang An handed the contract to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui looked at the contract and couldn't help but whistle. "Although Americans have always been wealthy, spending money like this is not their style. This offer is much higher than the usual remuneration.
Is there a hidden secret behind this matter? "
The actuary pushed several newspapers in front of him. "Just look at the reports."
¡°Ten people were killed by the US military in the town of Barire, Somalia, including a child.
The U.S. special forces suffered heavy casualties in Somalia, and they went crazy and started massacre mode there.
The United States claimed that it was an accidental attack, but it killed 22 civilians. "Lin Rui couldn't help but frown while looking at these newspapers.
¡°These are all local American media.¡± Actuary Jiang An smiled.
"The U.S. military must have a big head." Lin Rui sighed. "How could they do this?"
Actuary Masagishi replied, ¡°Recently, domestic media in the United States claimed that reporters had obtained evidence through on-site visits and investigations that US special forces on mission in Somalia shot and killed 10 innocent people, one of whom was a child.
This media called this massacre of civilians the greatest shame since the defeat of US special forces in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, in 1993.
The US Africa Command responded by saying that it had set up an investigation team to intervene in the matter. Later, senior US military officers said that the US special forces were even helping the Somali National Army maintain local security.
However, the US Africa Command¡¯s statement has been refuted by evidence released by the media. "
Lin Fei couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "The U.S. military, these people are telling lies with their eyes open. This is not the first time they have been slapped in the face anyway."
¡°Somalia is an important part of the ¡®Horn of Continent¡¯,¡± explained actuary Masami, ¡°Somalia was successively occupied by Italy, Britain and France because of its important position guarding the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
In August 2012, the US military gradually dispatched special forces to Somalia to help the Somali National Army train troops and help it fight against insurgent armed forces.
In March 2017, the US military gained the authority to increase the size of its military presence in Somalia and to call in US air firepower when attacked.
There are currently only about 100 US military special forces in Somalia, but the US military can mobilize 4,000 US troops from Somalia's neighboring country Djibouti at any time to assist.
At the end of August this year, more than 12 US special forces carried out a mission in southern Somalia and killed 10 civilians, including a child.
Innocent local civilians were tied up behind their backs, unable to resist, and suffered bad luck. The Somali people all claimed to have witnessed the atrocities committed by the US military.
The US media accused the US military of executing him privately without proving the accuracy and authenticity of the information and without the Somali authorities interrogating him.
The U.S. military has become very passive under public opinion.
But in fact they have no choice. The situation in Somalia is getting worse.
On May 4 this year, a U.S. Navy SEAL team was killed when the helicopter landed on a mission in Somalia. A special forces soldier was shot by enemy bullets and died. Two other members of the U.S. Navy were injured.
On July 4 this year, five members of the U.S. Army Green Berets were ambushed while searching for a militant leader.
The enemy¡¯s intensive firepower resulted in the death of four team members. If it were not for the help of the Somali National Army, the entire U.S. military might have been annihilated.
Now that something like this has happened again, they are completely embarrassed. "
"I can totally imagine how those military bosses became angry." Lin Rui shrugged.
"It is a taboo for soldiers to massacre civilians. It is a stain that is difficult to clean off. But this is nothing new for the Americans." Sergey shrugged.
Actuary Masagishi continued, ¡°As the incident unfolded, the American media claimed that this massacre of civilians was a stain on the image of the U.S. military for more than 20 years.
The US military¡¯s tough approach can only arouse local people¡¯s anger and make them join armed organizations.
The media interviewed more than 20 local intelligence officials and learned that the US military commanded the Somali National Army to forge physical evidence of villagers hiding guns and move out US diplomats to put pressure on local officials.
It is understood that the U.S. Department of Defense now only allows the U.S. military to conduct air strikes in more volatile areas. U.S. think tank experts say this can only intensify local conflicts.
in this wayAs a result, the US military may need to send more troops and apply for more funds, which will incur a greater price. "
Lin Rui sneered, "So the US military has turned its brains on us again.
They need us to deal with the Somali Youth Army.
It¡¯s done, the credit belongs to them. If something goes wrong, they can blame it all - it has nothing to do with us, it's all the mercenaries' fault.
Not only do we have to work for them, we also have to be their scapegoats and accept the media¡¯s rebuke. "
¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s what they think. Getting rid of the largest terrorist organization in Somalia will help them restore their reputation.
¡°If there is any trouble, we are mercenaries from a private military company anyway. No matter what you do, it has nothing to do with the US military.
?A traditional trick of the military¡¯s upper echelons. "Kuaima also sighed.
"So I want to ask about your decision, whether to accept it or not?" Actuary Jiang An looked at Lin Rui, "Currently, the Somali Youth Army has gathered many small terrorist organizations, and its momentum has greatly increased for a while.
To be honest, if we take on this task, there may be certain risks.
But it would be a pity if you don¡¯t answer. After all, this is a lucrative business.
And this is also related to what I mentioned before, we are planning a subsidiary to develop the shipping business.
For all shipping companies, Somali pirates will always be an unavoidable obstacle.
Our reputation in Somalia will also directly affect the influence of our subsidiaries in Somalia. "
Lin Rui thought silently for a while, "So what do you think? Should we take over this job?"
¡°There is a certain risk in taking this job, but if it succeeds, the profit will undoubtedly be greater. Just like a coin, it has two sides. But I think the profit side is greater.
It¡¯s not just the labor remuneration provided by the U.S. military. It's more about our invisible influence in Somalia.
If we want greater development, we must increase this influence. Simply put, it is a deterrent.
The Gulf of Aden channel in Somali waters is a real shipping chokepoint. Our influence in this region will be related to our overall reputation and subsequent development. "The actuary looked at Lin Rui and said, "What do you think? "
