"There are quite a few of them, boss, aren't you afraid?"
Poppy followed Long Zhan out of the bar and breathed a long sigh of relief. Thinking back to the tense scene just now, he still felt at ease at this moment.
Long Zhan raised the corner of his mouth and said boldly: "Oh, why should I be afraid?"
"The waists of their group are all bulging, and you can see that they are all carrying around with them. Aren't you afraid that they will go crazy and beat us into a sieve?"
Poppy was bewildered by Long Zhan's strong confidence, and his voice raised a level.
"Shoot? Haha."
Long Zhan was amused, squatted down and slapped Poppy on the head with a palm as big as a cattail leaf fan, and said: "Man, use your brain, this is Jageda, not Bulatu Province.
There was a chaotic war zone over there, no matter how noisy it was, no one cared about it, but it was different here.
This is one of the base camps of the government forces. Didn’t you see that the streets are full of troops and police? Everyone is armed and on high alert.
The mercenaries are now recruiting and driving away the crowd, and their situation is much worse than ours. If they dare to shoot, they will definitely die worse than us."
"It seems that's really what happened."
After listening to Long Zhan's explanation, Poppy thought for a while and figured it out. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "We are not locals. If something happens in the city, the government forces will definitely treat them as rebels."
Get rid of it."
"This is just one of the reasons. I can feel that there are some deeper factors that are restricting them." Long Zhan continued.
"Other reasons? What are they?" Bobby's curiosity was piqued, and he stood up and asked.
"You ask me? I'm not God."
Long Zhan shrugged his shoulders and frowned in confusion: "All the mines in Jagheda have been nationalized, and all foreign mining companies have stopped operations.
According to the normal development of the situation, the mercenaries who rely on guarding the mining company and resolving conflicts with the locals will definitely leave soon.
Because the minerals have been recycled by the state, the mining companies have lost their mines, and the mercenaries who serve the mining companies have lost their source of income.
Since they have no source of income, why are they still staying in Jagheda? Don’t you think this is strange?
You won't last long if you rest on your laurels every day, which is very inconsistent with the behavior of a mercenary."
Bobby hadn't thought about this at first, but now after Long Zhan's reminder, he realized something was wrong and guessed: "Are they ready to cooperate with the government forces and join the civil war like us?"
"It's not impossible."
Long Zhan recalled that he had just seen a government officer drinking with mercenaries in the bar. From what he saw and heard.
There is a real possibility that in order to fight against the rebels, the government forces will choose to hire security personnel laid off by mining companies and join the civil war.
but.
As soon as this idea crossed his mind, Long Zhan overturned it and said: "No, this possibility is very low, mercenaries are a group of people who only work for cash.
The reason why we cooperate with the Jinguogan government is because we accepted the plan of using mines in exchange for money.
Do you think that if the government gives mercenaries mines as a reward for hiring them to join the civil war, they will have to wait until the civil war is over to get them.
As mercenaries with their heads in their pants, would they accept this method of payment?
Anyway, I think this is impossible. Letting mercenaries hire miners to mine in mines to make money, I think it would be more uncomfortable for them than killing them."
"this……"
Poppy only rang for less than two seconds, and then he agreed very much with Long Zhan and said: "I don't think so either. They will definitely not take on such a troublesome business. Paying with one hand and doing the work with one hand is the industry of mercenaries.
rule."
As long as veterans have participated in actual combat in war zones, they will have some understanding of mercenaries.
Poppy is no exception!
"It's over now. If you don't have money, who will do the work for you? The mercenaries in the bar are not fools at first glance, and their boss is very smart at first glance. The high-risk cooperation model is definitely not within the scope of his consideration.
.
The reason why we can accept high-risk cooperation is that we are a formal company. In addition to making money, we value reputation and influence more.
Mercenaries want a shitty social influence and a shitty reputation.
The famous international police came to arrest people. The Hague Military Tribunal is their destination, and they will not be so stupid."
Bobby then said: "Since they can't make money and don't need influence, then they stay here..."
Bobby didn't finish the rest of the words, and everyone understood the meaning.
"I'm 100% sure that there must be something fishy here. I don't know exactly what it is at the moment. I just hope it's not someone who is causing trouble for us."
After walking around and chatting, we have returned to the entrance of the mall, and the contractor left behind is already moving goods to the car.
Long Zhan didn't want to continue this topic anymore, so he changed the topic and said: "We have enough troubles to deal with now. It's good that you know this. Remember to keep it in mind and pay more attention to the surroundings of the camp.
I need to leave for a while now and find a way to get some more money and weapons so that I can deal with possible emergencies.
I'll leave the purchasing here to you. Once the car is full, you can take the people back directly. You don't need to wait for me. I'll be back by myself when the time comes."
After Long Zhan finished speaking, he climbed into the driver's seat of the jeep and raised his finger to Bobby.
Poppy immediately understood what Long Zhan meant. He took out the key from his pocket and threw it to Long Zhan. At the same time, he asked: "Think of a way? Do you know anyone in this place?"
"It didn't happen before I came to the city, but it happened later." Long Zhan grinned, showing an expression that every man would understand.
Poppy understood instantly again, thinking of the coquettish blond woman with a good figure, and enviously teased: "That woman must be stronger than a vacuum cleaner. I think I can wait here for you to come back, and it will never delay your return home."
.”
"Tch, my firepower is beyond your imagination."
Long Zhan gave Bobby a middle finger, left a message of "see you tomorrow", started the jeep and rushed out.
Only Poppy, whose face was full of envy and jealousy, looked at the thick black smoke coming out from behind the butt of the old jeep, silently "blessing" Long Zhan's three-second fall in his heart.
…
More than half an hour later.
Long Zhan drove his antique jeep and parked outside a luxurious European-style villa.
Because the locals were hostile and unwilling to provide help, and there was no mobile phone navigation available in this ghost place, Long Zhan went to great lengths to find No. 115 Kangda Street.
The straight-line distance is less than 1 kilometer, and it took more than half an hour to drive.
"This villa is at least 1,000 square meters. To be able to own such a mansion in the poorest country in the world, this woman seems to be a ruthless character indeed."
Long Zhan guessed that the blond woman had an unusual origin, but he didn't show any hint of timidity.
