Chapter 947: Gwaana? Gwas?
After listening carefully, Xiao Shiqiu rubbed my head and said half-jokingly, "You're really not suited to keeping secrets."
I stubbornly said, "You are not an outsider."
"Yes, that's right. We got the marriage certificate, so I'm your wife." He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
"No, what I mean is that a lot of the equipment for this operation was provided by you, so you can be considered a part of it, right?" I forced myself to find a reason to convince myself that I was not leaking secrets casually.
He raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Let's put it this way, there aren't many things the police can keep secret from me.
I also donated the equipment upgrade for their computer room."
"Alas, it's a pity that sometimes money can't solve everything." I sighed with one hand on my chin.
"We knew the person was there, and knew the danger was imminent, yet we insisted on following the rules and procedures!"
I became more and more excited as I spoke. "Now I can only watch Sister Xiaomei walking on the edge of a knife, watching those innocent people face life-threatening danger at any time, and our people are unable to save them."
"Actually," Xiao Shiqiu suddenly spoke, interrupting my somewhat incoherent accusations. His voice was calm, with a customary composure, "It's not completely impossible to solve the manpower problem."
"What can I do?" I looked up suddenly, as if I had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"We don't have enough time to send out the people back home," Xiao Shiqiu looked at me and said calmly, "Then we can spend some money to hire a team of professional mercenaries from abroad."
"Mercenary?!" I was stunned. I had only heard this word in movies and it felt very far away from real life.
But when Xiao Shiqiu said it now, it sounded like he was just asking for a few part-time workers.
"Do you have channels to find mercenaries?" I asked him with my eyes wide open.
Xiao Shiqiu drank his soup gracefully and said casually, "Yes, there are several internationally renowned mercenary groups, and I've dealt with almost half of them."
I couldn't help but ask, "Are you still doing business with them? Are you secretly reselling arms?"
He almost choked, wiped his mouth and smiled helplessly, “Your imagination is good, but unfortunately I’m not that capable yet, I’ve only hired people from them a few times.
You know, places like Africa and the Middle East are not peaceful. While I make money, I still cherish my life."
"Besides fighting, can mercenaries also be asked to save people?" I asked with some concern.
Xiao Shiqiu looked at me with a look that was hard to describe. "Why not? Saving people is less risky than going to the battlefield. Just give the money and it'll be fine."
My eyes lit up instantly! Yeah! Why hadn't I thought of that? If you can get paid to fight for others, what's wrong with getting paid to rescue and arrest people?
"Is that expensive?" I began to evaluate whether my wallet was deep enough.
"It's not expensive. For example, a ten-man team from Gwana would spend about 300,000 to 500,000 RMB on a one-month mission.
The members are mainly experienced retired military personnel from Da Mao, and their combat effectiveness is guaranteed.
Damao is closer to Avar, and there are more people who understand the local language. We can also request the corresponding personnel, and the cost will fluctuate slightly. "
If it's Qingshui Security, the price will be higher, about 300,000 to 500,000 US dollars per month for the same 10-person team."
I breathed a sigh of relief. Gwana sounds like a very cost-effective product!
There are twenty people with one million, which is in line with my consumption habit of large quantities.
By spending some money, you can get a combat-ready team, in exchange for the safety of Fang Dongmei and more innocent people, and may even help the police destroy this criminal base. The cost-effectiveness is simply outrageous!
This is like a situation where you think there is no way out, but suddenly you see another village with willows and flowers!
A surge of passion and ambition to "serve the country and the people and make silent contributions" suddenly rushed into my head, and I felt that my personality had been sublimated!
"Yes! Mercenaries!" I almost jumped up in excitement. "As long as the money is in place, can we take action quickly? Guevara! This is the one! This company should be quite famous. I think it sounds familiar. Do you have their sales phone number?"
Xiao Shiqiu looked at me with a half-smile, "I think the one you're familiar with is Harbin's kvass.
Do you think it's the same as placing an order for goods?"
By the way, kvass is quite delicious, no wonder it sounds familiar to me.
Then I realized that I seemed to be despised again.
"Don't worry about this, I'm here for you." His tone was doting, but with an unquestionable certainty.
"Ah?" The little flame of 'heroism' that had just started burning was almost extinguished by the sudden dousing.
My eyes widened. "Don't let me worry about it? What do you mean? I'm a member of the action team."
The image of the knight who 'hides his merits and fame' that I just conceived is going to die in the womb before it even takes shape?
"Extraneous." He slowly peeled the last shrimp and stuffed it into my mouth. Then he wiped his hands slowly and explained leisurely: "PMC is not like buying vegetables at the market. If you have money, you can immediately take a group of people away.
It requires professional middlemen to liaise, assess mission risks, confirm target intelligence, formulate action plans, mobilize appropriate personnel and equipment, coordinate entry and logistics... This is a systematic project. Moreover,
He glanced at me and said, "Letting an ordinary citizen with no military experience and no official background directly contact and hire armed personnel to carry out such gray missions, especially in sensitive areas, is extremely risky and will lead to endless troubles.
If you're not careful, it will drag both you and Snowy Owl into greater trouble."
I was choked by his words. Although I was a little unconvinced, I also knew that what he said was true. After all, I knew nothing.
"Then...what should I do?" I felt a little discouraged and started to clean up the dishes with a pout.
"I'll discuss this with Wen Congwu." Xiao Shiqiu and I put the dishes into the dishwasher together.
"They have intelligence, they have targeting information, they have clear needs.
I can help them connect and find a middleman, which will be much more efficient and safer. As long as the equipment and personnel are in place, it might even be possible…” He paused, as if estimating, “to launch the operation within three days.”
Three days! This is much faster than the domestic procedures!
Xiao Shiqiu picked up his phone and called Wen Congwu. He didn't avoid me. Seeing me staring at him eagerly, he used the speakerphone again.
I noticed that since some point, he has started to use the speakerphone when making phone calls in front of me.
Although in most cases I had no interest in the content of his calls, I felt comfortable with the fact that he was completely defenseless towards me.
After hearing Xiao Shiqiu's proposal, Wen Congwu was very excited: "Okay! Lao Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss. For the next three years of procurement in the bureau, I will help you get it even if I have to roll over and throw a tantrum in front of the director!"
After hanging up Wen Congwu's phone, he dialed a number outside the country. A Russian-accented English voice came from the other end: "Long time no see! Xiao~"
