Looks like I need to find some professionals to plan it out.
He didn't buy these mercenaries just for show, nor did it happen on a whim. He really wanted to keep them for a dozen years to support himself.
After all, in addition to Ye Wentian, the big cancer, he also offended many other people.
Having some protection is always more deterrent than fighting alone.
"Chief!"
Soon, commanders from all levels and departments of the military camp rushed over.
When they came to see Gu Fei, they all saluted him with smiles on their faces.
Gu Fei still did not return the greeting, but just nodded and smiled faintly.
However, he was very keenly aware that Zhang Haoming did not come.
This means that the people at the gate just now ran to inform these superiors, but did not inform Zhang Haoming.
Don't take him seriously.
Don't respect him either.
It seems that Gu Jingjing was right. The people here were indeed ostracizing Zhang Haoming.
Gu Fei came this time to boost Zhang Haoming's reputation, so he took the initiative to ask, "Where's Zhang Haoming?"
A chubby officer's face froze when he heard this, then he coughed and said, "Someone, go get Zhang Haoming? The commander is here, and he hasn't come to greet him yet. How can that be right?"
"yes!"
One of his men heard his order and immediately turned and left.
Soon, Zhang Haoming followed this subordinate and ran over.
When he saw Gu Fei, he was not nervous at all, nor did he look aggrieved. He saluted in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and greeted him neatly.
"Hello, Chief."
Gu Fei smiled and just looked at Zhang Haoming. "I heard you came here yesterday? Didn't I tell you to settle your family first before coming?"
"My family has been properly settled. Please rest assured, Commander, I will serve the military camp wholeheartedly from now on."
Regardless of whether this is true or not, it is very comforting.
"Okay, you've been in the barracks for half a day and a night. Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
Zhang Haoming was really outspoken: "Commander, I do have some opinions."
"explain."
"Yes! First, the barracks currently lack a live-fire shooting range, so we can only conduct some basic physical training. However, this is the 21st century, and combat relies less on physical fitness and more on firearms. I suggest increasing the duration of live-fire shooting training and reducing the proportion of physical training."
"Secondly, and this is a continuation of the first issue, the military currently lacks firearms and ammunition. If they continue training like this, they'll be no different from a bodyguard company and won't demonstrate the advantages of mercenaries. I suggest at least equipping each squad with a rifle and each soldier with a pistol."
"third……"
He never stopped talking.
He gave a total of thirteen suggestions in a very eloquent speech.
After he finished speaking, Gu Fei didn't react at all, and the faces of the officers around him all turned green.
Because many of the suggestions Zhang Haoming made were slapping them in the face.
Especially the defects in some management systems are almost like pointing at their noses and scolding them.
Gu Fei listened very carefully, especially the first few sentences.
As for the management matters, he could completely hand them over to Zhang Haoming.
As for the guns and ammunition, he is responsible for it himself.
According to Zhang Haoming, when he worked under Li Wei, these matters were also handled by Li Wei and his son.
They did not dare to let irrelevant people interfere in such a big matter as arms trading, lest the disaster become irreversible.
So not only Zhang Haoming, but also the other superiors had no experience.
But Gu Fei has no experience either!
Just when he was in a dilemma, Shangguan Jing stepped forward, leaned over to Gu Fei's ear and whispered, "I think we can go to Africa to buy it."
"Africa?"
Shangguan Jing nodded gently. "My father's field army is also an irregular army. As a militia, they can apply for very little military funding from the central government, and even less guns. Most of the guns and ammunition equipped by the army were bought by my father from Africa."
"The guns there are very cheap. A Pakistani-made AK is only 200 yuan a piece. Of course, it has a short service life and its power and accuracy are not very high. But as a regular mercenary army's weapon, it is completely sufficient."
In her opinion, Gu Fei set up this army just for fun.
Is it necessary for a playful army to be equipped with good guns?
She was very considerate of me by not suggesting buying a pellet gun.
But she was wrong.
It is not just a joke for Gu Fei to equip this army.
After all, no one would invest tens of billions just to make a small gadget to play with.
His purpose was to fight against Ye Wentian's army.
Moreover, in the future, they might have to fight against the field army led by Shangguan Huoyun, or even the regular army led by Ying Houyang.
"I don't want cheap stuff. If I'm going to buy something, I'm going to buy the best."
Shangguan Jing was stunned. "The best? Do you know how much a high-quality AK costs? It starts at 400 Mi Yuan. Especially for a long-life military backup gun, it might cost 500 Mi Yuan."
"Five hundred Mi Yuan may not sound like much, but you have to consider that you're buying in bulk. Even if you only buy one thousand guns, it will cost five hundred thousand Mi Yuan, which is equivalent to thirty million. That's just the price of the guns, plus the bullets. Just do the math."
Gu Fei's eyes lit up after hearing this: "So cheap? A thousand AK rifles only cost thirty million. If I buy a thousand of all kinds of high-tech rifles, five hundred million will be enough for me?"
Shangguan Jing was stunned when she heard this.
How could this guy make five hundred million sound like fifty dollars?
You should know that the U.S. military expenditure is only more than 800 billion U.S. dollars a year.
Shangguan Jing hesitated and said, "It's enough, but that doesn't include bullets, and it doesn't include future repairs and maintenance... But if you don't care about 500 million, these expenses are definitely nothing."
"That's fine, but I don't know who I can trust to buy such a high-quality gun."
Shangguan Jing whispered, "I know who to find. I'll introduce you, but we have to do this secretly. After all, buying and selling guns privately, especially in such large quantities, is illegal."
Gu Fei made an OK gesture to her, and felt more and more that it was a good decision to bring Guan Jing along!
This girl is awesome.
Then he looked at Zhang Haoming.
"I'll take care of the gun and ammunition issue. It'll take about a week. During this week, you can develop a training plan and arrange personnel assignments. Is that okay?"
Zhang Haoming's eyes lit up and he immediately stood still: "No problem!"
Such a big problem was solved in just one week.
He really followed the right person.
This boss is dozens of times stronger than Li Wei.
You know, when he worked with Li Wei before, it took at least several months to apply for some guns and ammunition from Li Wei!
"So, Commander, what about my suggestion to recruit a few of the top soldiers?"
