The total number of mercenaries participating in the siege was more than 900, and they belonged to more than a dozen different teams. Some had hundreds of people, while some had only a dozen. None of them had the ability to kill the enemy alone, so they had to work together. It's their only choice.
Then the problem comes. If we cooperate, it will be easy to solve. What about the distribution of rewards?
Regardless of whether they are divided by number of people or teams, there will be dissatisfaction, especially those small mercenary groups. Although they are small in number, they are large in number, and they account for half of the total. Large groups do not want to fall out with them. The Cuban army Occupying the high ground and having the advantage of firepower, if they lack cannon fodder, they will not be able to complete the mission no matter what!
After a fierce exchange of words, a group of mercenary leaders finally reached an agreement on the distribution of the spoils. They divided the enemy's defensive positions into different areas. Each area had a fixed price. Whoever captured this area would win. Take that portion of the money. Z.br>
After allocating the benefits, the mercenaries established a joint command headquarters according to their original military ranks. The top commander was a former colonel from the United Kingdom, and his deputy was a French colonel. Next, there were former West German colonels. Major, Captain in Belgium and Sergeant Major in Sweden.
Of course, with this composition, no one takes joint command seriously. What are allies? Those who stand in my way of making a fortune are all enemies!
However, everyone is also a professional soldier with brains. Naturally, they will not do anything to attack alone and get killed, and then make everyone laugh. They must cooperate how to cooperate. The only problem is that the opponent does not cooperate.
The Cuban army had bunkers and occupied high ground. Coupled with its firepower superiority, it was impossible to attack the Cuban army with the firepower of mercenaries alone. A group of black uncle mercenaries from Kenya took the lead in launching an assault under the command of the British. As a result, on the way to the attack They were beaten to death by machine guns and mortars. Dozens of people were half dead before they even got out a hundred meters. The wounded who fell to the ground could only crawl to safety by themselves, howling like ghosts.
After that, the mercenaries tried other directions, but with only a few grenade launchers and heavy machine guns on hand, they were unable to launch an effective attack. After struggling for several hours, the only gain was more than thirty more corpses. and nearly forty wounded.
There is a lack of artillery. With light infantry alone, they will never be able to win the position in this life. But they are ordinary mercenaries. How can they have artillery? The artillery is in the hands of the South African army. Let them come over to help. Then how much money can we spend? Don’t even think about getting a cent!
"By the way, I remember those guys had cannons!"
"Yes, there are also helicopters!"
"I don't want Shadow Company to get involved at all!"
"But what can we do? Contact them!"
Despite their reluctance, the mercenaries contacted the Shadow Company who was on standby at the base, but neither Hannibal nor Shepard was there. One went to the front line to teach UNITA soldiers to use anti-tank missiles, and the other returned home to coordinate In the production of explosion-proof walls, Helen Parker is the only one left in charge in the base.
The latter had also heard about the bounty, but because the main force of Shadow Company was basically performing tasks outside, Parker had no intention of participating, but now the mercenary took the initiative to contact him.
"Plomri, are the attacker team back?"
"Previous reports said that they still have one hour to return to the base, so it is estimated that it will be soon!"
The attacker was the Bird Fleet that suffered heavy losses before. Shadow Company originally owned three oh6 and six uh1 helicopters. Later, it lost two oh6s, but now they have added them back. These oh6s have also been upgraded with machine guns. Replaced with a 40mm grenade launcher, the armor-piercing grenade launched can easily penetrate the tank's roof.
"Okay, let's go then. If they're not here, it's time for us to gain performance for the company!"
"Ah, but we only have two attack teams left at the base, eight people in total!"
"We're not involved in the attack, we just went over to provide some paid services to those guys!"
Parker's eyes sparkled, as if he had just graduated from a butcher college and was as excited as he had come to the pig farm.
try.
"Hannibal, when will your mortar team return?"
"It will take about six more hours!"
"Tell them not to return to the base and just go directly to the new location I gave them!"
"Understood, but do you want the mortar team to perform any mission? How about I send another team over?"
"This is enough. I'll get some more money for the supper for the brothers!"
After calling Cameron, Shepard's exclusive ace driver, Parker took Plumli to the mercenary joint command headquarters on the front line.
When they learned that there was a woman from Shadow Company, the command tent was filled with laughter and laughter. A group of big men did not take Parker seriously at all, but soon they knew that they could have as many as Shepard in Shadow Company. What is so great about the authoritative Parker.
"I didn't expect you to be so generous and share such a high bounty with us. This is really surprising!"
After arriving at the place, Parker was not afraid at all. He crossed his legs and refused the other party's request to invite Shadow Company to join the hunt with a smile.
"Well, we all deal with Shadow Company on a daily basis, so we naturally understand that your company will not treat our brothers badly. Didn't that Mr. John Shepard always emphasize that everyone makes money, so..."
"But we can't accept your kindness!"
Parker glanced at Plomri who was standing behind her and the guard outside the door who was posing as if he was a trespasser, and then said with a smile.
"Our combat personnel are all on the front lines responsible for teaching and training, but they can't come here to participate in the battle!"
"It's okay, it will be the same when your helicopter artillery comes!"
"Then this is not taking too much advantage of us. After all, we don't have any ground troops. Can your people agree?"
After elegantly picking up the black tea in front of him and taking a sip, Parker still maintained his original smile.
"This... brothers will understand us!"
"But this goes against John's principles. Shouldn't everyone make money together?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
The mercenary commanders could only smile awkwardly. Their thoughts were seen through by the other party from the beginning!
"We won't take any of these two million dollars. Our helicopters and artillery will still provide help, but the money for ammunition and fuel should be nothing to you!"
Parker put down the teacup, tapped the table with his knuckles, and then Promli took out a fire support price list.
After seeing the price list, the eyes of the mercenary commanders when they looked at Parker immediately changed!
This woman is really trying to steal money!
