Battlefield Contractor

Chapter 5326: Two sides of the coin

I heard the actuary Mae An said that the employer was willing to spend money. All the mercenaries laughed.

Lin Rui also joked, "The U.S. dollar has depreciated a bit recently."

"The U.S. has sent someone to contact us, saying that they are willing to pay this amount this time. And first pay half of it in advance. After the action is successful, the balance will be paid immediately." The actuary handed the contract to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui looked at the contract and couldn't help blowing a whistle. "Although the Yankees have always been wealthy, it is not their style to spend money like this. This offer is much higher than the usual salary.

Is there something hidden behind this incident? "

The actuary pushed Kishi several newspapers in front of him. "Look at these reports."

"Ten people in the town of Barile, Somalia, were killed by the U.S. army, including a child.

The U.S. special forces suffered heavy casualties in Somalia, and started a slaughter mode frantically in the local area.

A misfire claimed by the United States resulted in the death of 22 people. Lin Rui couldn't help frowning when he looked at these newspapers.

"These are all native American media." The actuary Jiangan smiled.

"The U.S. military must be very big." Lin Rui sighed. "How could they do this?"

The actuary Jang Kishi replied, "Recently, the US domestic media reported that the reporters, after field visits and investigations, found evidence that US special forces on mission in Somalia shot and killed 10 innocent people, one of whom was a child.

The media claimed that the massacre of civilians was the biggest humiliation since the defeat of the US special forces in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia in 1993.

In response, the U.S. African Command stated that it had organized an investigation team to intervene in this matter. Later, senior U.S. military officers said that the U.S. Special Forces were helping the Somali National Army to maintain local security.

However, the US African Command’s statement was refuted by evidence published by the media. "

Lin Fei couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "U.S. military, these people are talking nonsense with their eyes open. This is not the first time they have been slapped in the face anyway."

The actuary Jiang Jian explained, "Somali is an important part of the "Horn of Continent", because its important position in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden has been occupied by Italy, Britain and France successively.

In August 2012, the US military gradually sent special forces to Somalia to help the Somali National Army train the army and help it fight riots.

In March 2017, the U.S. military obtained the authority to increase the size of its garrison in Somalia and to summon the U.S. military for air fire strikes when attacked.

At present, there are only about 100 US special forces in Somalia, but the US military can mobilize 4000 US troops from Djibouti, the neighboring country of Somalia, to help.

At the end of August this year, more than 12 special forces of the US military carried out missions in southern Somalia to kill 10 civilians, including a child.

Innocent local civilians were **** and unable to resist the tragedy and bad luck. The Somali people said they had witnessed the atrocities of the US military with their own eyes.

The US media accused the US military of lynching without proving the accuracy and authenticity of the information and before the Somali authorities had interrogated him.

The US military has become very passive under public opinion.

But in fact they can't help it. The situation in Somalia is deteriorating.

On May 4 this year, when the US Navy SEALs mission in Somalia just landed, a special soldier was shot by enemy bullets and killed. Two members of the US military were injured.

On July 4 this year, five members of the US Army’s Green Beret Special Forces were ambushed while searching for the militant leader.

The enemy's intensive firepower caused the deaths of 4 members. If it were not for the help of the Somali National Army, the US military might have been wiped out.

Now that something like this happened again, they were ashamed to get home. "

"I can completely imagine that those military leaders looked angry." Lin Rui shrugged.

"Military slaughter of civilians is a big taboo. With this, it is a stain that is difficult to clean. But this is not new to the Yankees." Sergey shrugged.

The actuary said, "As things fermented, the US media claimed that this massacre of civilians was a stain on the image of the US military for more than 20 years.

The US military's tough handling can only arouse local people's outrage and make them join an armed organization.

The media interviewed more than 20 local intelligence officials and learned that the U.S. military commanded the Somali National Army to forge evidence of guns hidden by villagers and moved out U.S. diplomats to pressure 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 turbulent areas. U.S. think tank experts say this can only intensify local conflicts.

As a result, the U.S. military may need to send additional troops and apply for more funds, and pay a greater price. "

Lin Rui sneered, "That's why the U.S. military has moved their minds on us again.

They need us to deal with the Somali youth army.

It's over, the credit is theirs. If something goes wrong, they can just push it all-it doesn't matter to us, it's all the mercenaries.

Not only do we have to work for them, but we also have to act as backers and accept scolding from the media. "

"I'm afraid they think so. Getting rid of the largest terrorist organization in Somalia will help them restore their reputation.

If anything goes wrong, we are mercenaries from a private military company anyway. No matter what you do, it has nothing to do with the US military.

Traditional tricks of the upper echelons of the military. "Quaoma also sighed.

"So I want to ask your decision, whether to accept it or not?" The actuary looked at Lin Rui, "At present, the Somali Youth Army has gathered a lot of small terrorist organizations, and the momentum has been greatly increased for a while.

To be honest, if we take this task, there may be a certain risk.

But it would be a pity if you don't pick up. After all, this is a lucrative business.

And this is also related to what I mentioned earlier, we are planning a subsidiary to develop the shipping business.

For all shipping companies, Somali pirates will always be a hurdle that cannot be circumvented.

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 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 these labor remunerations provided by the US military. More is our invisible influence in Somalia.

If we want greater development, we must increase this influence. Simply put, it is deterrence.

The Gulf of Aden waterway in the Somali waters is the real throat of the sea. Our influence in this region will be related to our overall prestige promotion and subsequent development. "The actuary descended to the shore and looked at Lin Rui, "What do you think?" "
