Although the engineer platoon of the mercenary regiment is led by Lin Ling, an engineer officer who stayed in the Soviet Union, he is good at engineering and command, and is not a professional blasting expert. He is not very good at making and using various blasting equipment. proficient.
Therefore, the mercenary group needs skilled demolition experts like Joseph, especially in special operations. A skilled demolition expert who can make various bombs and is familiar with the use of various landmines can participate in certain operations. At the critical moment, it plays a decisive role. In addition, he can also serve as an instructor to train brothers to master blasting skills.
After Zhou Wen took notice, he began to have a lively conversation with Joseph. Joseph's English is also good, and there is no problem in communicating between the two.
Zhou Wen's experience as a mercenary in his previous life made every question he asked very targeted. However, Joseph had been frustrated for more than a year, and now there was finally someone interested in his expertise, who naturally told him everything he knew.
And Zhou Wen's questions always seemed to scratch his itch, such as how to install explosives with maximum blasting power? How to fry steel plate? What kind of mines are most effective for small-scale combat? How to place booby traps? Those kinds of things, etc., made Joseph feel like he had met a soulmate.
In fact, Zhou Wen wanted to learn these issues when he was a mercenary in his previous life, but he never met a good master. The real talents were recruited by large mercenary groups, and those who had only a little knowledge were about the same level as Zhou Wen. Now Joseph's answer basically confirmed that Zhou Wen was an all-round explosives talent.
I want it, even if others don’t want it, I still want it with a high salary.
Just when Zhou Wen and Joseph were chatting happily, Mandel on the side also saw Zhou Wen's thoughts and strongly recommended: "Zhou, if you need talents in this field, then Joseph is the best candidate. Our German army You know the person who comes out, his discipline and execution ability are both outstanding, and his family has come to China, so he has no worries, he is the best fighter."
Zhou Wen thought for a while and said: "Joseph, I really need people like you to work for me, but my job is very dangerous. I need to fight often and may even lose my life. You must think carefully. In addition, you join my team Finally, I hope your parents will come with me to live in Shanxi. I can guarantee their life and safety. As for what kind of person I am and whether I am trustworthy, you can listen to Mandel's advice."
What Zhou Wen didn't know was that Joseph had always had a desire. He felt that he was born to fight. He liked the life of the army. He originally wanted to fight for Germany, but now his country has abandoned him, which makes him Feeling very miserable and confused.
Now, somehow, he felt that an opportunity was beckoning to him.
Joseph thought for a moment and replied: "Mr. Zhou, what Mr. Mandel just said has told me what kind of person you are. He is an upright and kind man, and of course I believe him. As for your work, I want to say that I am very Like, believe me, I was born to be a fighter, I'm very eager to fight, and I don't have any bad habits, I don't smoke or drink."
At this point, Joseph said a little embarrassedly: "But I still want to ask, how much salary will you give me?"
Zhou Wen laughed and asked jokingly: "So Mr. Joseph, what salary do you hope to get?"
Joseph hesitated for a while and said: "Is 300 US dollars a month okay? I think I am worth the money. Of course, if you think it is too high, we can still discuss it."
Zhou Wen immediately fell in love with this frank German boy. He laughed loudly and said to Mandel: "Dear Mandel, are all you German boys so cute?"
After saying that, he turned to Joseph and said: "Let's do this, Mr. Joseph, both of us will give ourselves a chance to choose. During the three-month trial period, I will pay you 400 US dollars every month. After the trial period is over, if you If you are willing to stay and I am willing to continue using you, then your salary will be increased to $600 per month. What do you think?"
What else could Joseph do? It couldn't be better, and Zhou Wen's next words dispelled all his worries.
"Moreover, if something unfortunate happens to you in battle in the future, I will give your parents a one-time pension of 3,000 US dollars and ensure that they will not be disturbed in any way for the rest of their lives. Even if a war breaks out, I will be responsible for their safety. "
Joseph immediately stood up with excitement, stood at attention and saluted Zhou Wen: "Sir, Joseph, the former staff sergeant of the 132nd German Army Infantry Division, reports to you."
Zhou Wen also returned the gift solemnly.
At this time, the actions of the two of them alarmed other people in the reception hall. Seeing others looking over with surprised eyes, Zhou Wen quickly motioned for everyone to go out before talking.
When they came to the door, Ti Jing got out of the car and took Zhou Wen's two boxes. Zhou Wen took out 400 US dollars from his pocket and handed it to Joseph: "Joseph, you go home now, settle your parents first, and then take them with you." Please report your belongings to me today."
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Wen told Mandel the address of Su Mansion and asked him for help. After settling Joseph's parents, he drove Joseph to Su Mansion to meet Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen didn't expect that not only did he buy a diving suit today, he also hunted rabbits and easily recruited a much-needed talent. If Joseph is really as proficient in all kinds of blasting as he said, then Zhou Wen really found a treasure today.
You know, even in the previous life, it was out of reach for the average mercenary group to recruit an expert blaster, not to mention the current era of information congestion and talent shortage.
Zhou Wen thought of this, and even Miaohua and the others' depression that had been felt after they were injured eased a lot.
Why Zhou Wen was so anxious to ask Joseph to follow him immediately was because the plan in Zhou Wen's mind would be much more likely to succeed if it had the help of an explosion expert like Joseph.
Before Zhou Wen participated in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, he had been pondering a bold idea in his mind. However, due to the low certainty but high risk, he had been hesitant.
After Miaohua and Zhang Xiaoping were seriously injured by the Japanese naval gun, Zhou Wen no longer hesitated in his heart. The fire in his heart needed to be vented, and someone had to bear the price of Miaohua's serious injuries.
At this time, Zhou Wen no longer wanted to use reason to restrain himself. In the past few years, he might have been too rational, and instead lost the determination and courage to repay his grudges. This time I just wanted to be willful, regardless of the consequences, and not think about what to do if something unexpected happened? What should we do, brothers? What to do with the mercenary group? Anyway, I just want to be happy and happy this time. This feeling has never been as strong as it is now since time travel.
