From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 654 Capital Mercenaries

  The boss came to the front line in person, which raised the morale of everyone in P·B...

  The preparations for the base, which had been procrastinating before, accelerated with the arrival of Choga.

  In fact, the main reason is that the situation here is too bad. The distance from Mosul is too close to cause attacks here, and the defensive pressure of the base is too great.

  Almost all military contracting companies are urging P·B to move the logistics center back to the Gayyala base, because it is only 40 kilometers away from Mosul, but the defensive pressure is many times smaller.

  As long as P·B moves to Gayala, those mercenaries can justifiably be lazy.

   After all, you have to run forty kilometers to go to work, so you can't ask people to do too many things!

  It's a pity that Boss Qiao has his own ethics. He took over his oil field, contracted his logistics, and promised to let the frontline people have a hot meal, and he must do what he said.

   Besides, Boss Joe is still an arms dealer. The equipment of the Iraqi government army is not bad, but don’t people need to provide ammunition supplements?

  This is a big business, and the oil is in the hands of Boss Qiao. The Rumaila Oilfield in charge of the two barrels of oil will soon resume work, and the "white strip" will soon be exchanged for cash.

  The logistics channel has been initially opened up. Is there any place more convenient than providing supplies on the front line?

   Selling bullets on the front line, asking for 50% more than usual is not unreasonable.

Don't look at Boss Joe's crazily squeezing war profits like "Master Bai", but in fact, Boss Joe is still in a state of paying for war. The cannons, armored vehicles, weapons, and ammunition sent by Serbia are all paid for.

  Maintaining four half-civilian and half-army military bases is no longer as simple as burning money for Qiaojia, a private boss, but pouring money into the crematorium.

  If it weren’t for Huaguo Energy Company’s “crude oil pre-sale business” for the output of Rumaila Oilfield, and provided a flexible settlement model and a large number of sponsorships.

  Before the humanitarian channel achieved large-scale profitability, Boss Joe’s big business trip to Iraq would cost most of his net worth.

  In order to subsidize a little household, it is only natural to provide support to mercenaries and charge some fees.

  And his asking prices are all conscientious prices, and some are even cheaper than mercenary companies making their own.

   For the simplest air support, 20,000 helicopters per sortie are not expensive at all compared with the mercenary group using their own helicopters.

   Missiles are a little more expensive, but that’s just a little bit.

  Don’t look at the cheers of those mercenary groups. In fact, what they complained about was not the high price, but the ease of support, which caused the mercenaries on the front line to frequently call for artillery fire, resulting in a lot of meaningless waste.

   Mercenary companies don’t spend taxpayers’ money, they have to calculate the cost!

  The support system provided by P·B is too simple and rude, and in order to attract customers, the artillerymen are also extremely efficient.

  In fact, calling for artillery support in actual combat has a very complicated set of procedures among all regular troops. Special soldiers need to be trained to complete guidance and calls on the front line.

  General company-level units only have such soldiers!

  Air support is a bit more complicated. The front-line control team even has to plan in advance the direction of entry of fighter jets or air power, shooting angles, and even the types of ammunition.

  All regular armies of major powers are refining, but P·B does the opposite and simplifies everything...

  As long as you use your own radio, announce your team code and password, and then guide the location and wait for up to 5 minutes, the shells will come to help.

Is it dangerous?

  Especially dangerous!

   But is it worth it?

  If you are surrounded, who cares about these?

   Now it is even more ruthless, with helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and even jet fighters.

  This is the real 'big business', and it is also the loss that will inevitably occur in the large orders taken by large companies.

   You waste it yourself, it is better to let P·B help you "deplete" it. Who will earn this money?

  P·B actually saved them trouble, but because the actions were too simple and rough, the loss of the mercenary company was magnified.

  Because it is really too simple. In the past, when the helicopter did not come, the range of the 155 howitzer in the base could cover the whole city of Mosul.

  The advanced fire control system used by P·B artillery can control the error within a radius of 50 meters.

   This is really a life-saving thing, and there is no call barrier, that is, there are not so many cumbersome links, and you can call for support if you can speak human language.

  The 'irregularity' shown by P·B is a boon for mercenaries who are so mixed up that they want to eat with guns.

  Many mercenaries from other countries, who have been soldiers for more than ten years, have never enjoyed the treatment of picking up the radio and shouting, and they can call for artillery shells or air support.

   Moreover, the flat call made it impossible for those managers of large companies who stayed at the base to find an excuse to shirk.

  This is what several big companies can't stand...

  Human life is actually a figure that is included in the cost for them. If this continues, their profit margin will be compressed a lot!

  So they complained endlessly, and in the end they didn’t want to let P·B give up their profits, but wanted to set up call barriers and join the support command group.

   To put it bluntly, it is called 'regularization' and 'safety'. To put it bluntly, it is to increase the call cost of frontline mercenaries.

  The reality is so **** and unbelievable. The mercenaries recruited by those giant companies from places like South America and Eastern Europe are not worth much in their eyes.

   There are also those war dogs who follow the giants to eat leftovers. Unless their actions reach a critical moment, providing support will generate returns, otherwise you expect the giants to waste money for them?

  According to what the person with the triple canopy told Qiaojia with all his heart...

   "Armor and air support can be provided, but must be kept within the company's budget.

  We are happy to hand over this part of the business to P·B, but we have to have a part of the control, and we can't let the frontline mercenaries waste the company's funds.

  If we can't agree on this, we'll deploy our own helicopters as cover.

   Rockets and machine gun bullets are really cheap. "

  The cost and risk control implemented by the capitalistic war company is so cruel on the front line.

  No one cares what Mosul will end up like. Many people even hope that the war will be prolonged so that they can win more contracts.

  When Mosul becomes the focus of Iraq, the situation in the south will gradually stabilize.

  When several large oil fields start to resume work, the Iraqi government will have money.

   And those lobbyists, technical consultants, agents, etc. of big companies who stay in Baghdad will start to encourage the Iraqi government to buy high-end arms and high-end military services, and then send them to the front line to fill in the holes.

   This is where the vital interests of the American military-industrial complex lie!

  Many of old American politics, policies and even wars serve the military-industrial complex.

   From the attack on Iraq, it can be seen that Old Sanaa is indeed looking for death, but in fact the most profitable in the United States is not the oil group that people think, but the military-industrial complex.

  They gnawed a large piece of old US military spending, and then took a mouthful of oil and water from the Iraqi government through the US government as a gift or compulsory purchase.

  The numbers generated by these two can make many people dumbfounded.

   Not to mention the movement of this huge complex, producing messy derivative interests.

   Among them, the annual mercenary demand of US$100 billion has actually created a series of military contractors in the United States.

  Now they are repeating this routine in Aqian Khan. Unfortunately, Aqian Khan itself is too poor, and it is Laomei himself who is always transfusing blood to the puppet government.

  The military-industrial complex is still very happy to eat US military expenditures, but without the Afghan government, the profits are always almost meaningless. When there are more places in the United States that need money, the plate will end sooner or later.

   This is a huge complex covering energy groups, and capitalization and digitization make this huge and bloated complex group look very cold and cruel.

   Those mercenary giants can only be said to be a part of the military-industrial complex, but they still dislike the "businessmen" traits they show.

   Qiaojia’s business often starts at one point, and then keeps going around in circles to pull many people onto the boat.

  The military-industrial complex is to intervene at one point, and then detonate from the inside, so that the opponent loses its ability to resist, and leads the interest community to feast on it.

  So Qiaojia always felt that he was not on the same track as these companies, because everyone's way of thinking and means of making money were completely different.

   Facing the persuasive temptation of a group of mercenary company representatives, Qiaojia firmly shook his head and rejected the other party's request.

  If you are not satisfied with my approach, you can bring things over by yourself. I will provide the venue for you to use, and you can pay a little rent for the venue.

  P·B is doing this business, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to pay the bill, we will fly the guns as they are, and let the mercenaries pay the bill.

  I can even provide life insurance services with loans. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, you can keep accounts. As long as you are not dead, you can also pay for my two trips of armed **** from the bus to Mosul.

   Those who owe a lot and are not willing to take risks, go to the oil fields in the south to stand guard to pay off the debt, and when to pay the bill with food and accommodation.

  Joga’s proposal made everyone in the mercenary company feel a little bit toothache...

  The logistics provided by P·B are too convenient, relying on military bases, saving these big companies too much work and money.

   Here, the standard of 200 US dollars per person per day not only provides food but also provides safe accommodation.

  If everyone is unhappy at this time, it will be difficult in the days to come.

  Especially when they see a massive scout airship being unloaded from a truck to inflate...

   And after being strongly promoted by Boss Qiao, who claimed to have spent tens of millions on the 'Tintin Management System' imported from Huaguo, they knew that they would definitely not be able to leave P·B...

  The airship provides digital reconnaissance and precise positioning and signal coverage. The commander in the backfield can clearly see the battle situation on the front line. The mercenaries clock in at work, take down a building or kill several terrorists and then take pictures and record to calculate KPI...

  This is a million-level additional service provided by Boss Joe...

  This shit...

  Who can say no?

   Rejecting the paid logistical artillery fire is equivalent to rejecting the best and cheapest front-line war service for mercenary companies.

  Boss Joe’s way of slapping a handful of jujubes has made the people of these mercenary companies tangled up...
