rebirth of change

While Chen Kangjie and the others were waiting on the Delaware River, William Bennett and his four bodyguards were about to enter downtown Philadelphia.

William Bennett seems to be more calm than Chen Kangjie. In the past few days after meeting Okamoto and the others, William Bennett was not in a hurry, he should eat and drink every day, and lived a chic life A peaceful life, without any unusual behavior, made the four people watching him very boring and delicious, as if they were being played.

Basjev and Lowsky are much better relative, they are used to this kind of useless work without gain.A few days is not a long time for them. A long time ago, they tracked a target to be assassinated, and found nothing for three months. They didn't get any valuable information, and they didn't have a chance to act calmly.

But Pang Hui and Dong Mingshu were different. Of course, they had been trained in patience and endurance in the army before, but they were not particularly professional.As a member of the special forces, its role is to kill by surprise, which belongs to the work of charging and encroaching, so the training in killing patience is a bit sloppy.

Intelligence personnel are different. They are doing underground work. Psychological quality is the first requirement, and skill is the second.Their patience is unmatched.

Pang Hui and Dong Mingshu couldn't bear the silent torture, and knowing that Chen Kangjie and the others had rushed to Philadelphia, they asked to follow them.They felt that there must be something to do by Chen Kangjie's side, and they didn't want to wait for the big event to be settled before showing up, that would be a bit of a waste of expression.

As a result, after the two arrived in Philadelphia, they found that life was not much better, they were simply traveling with two Japanese.

If you can simply travel, that's okay, at least you can relax and be unrestrained.But it doesn't work. Underneath the superficial relaxation is the tense nerves. You have to watch all directions and listen to all directions. You can't even eat a big meal. When people get up and leave, you have to pay the bill to follow.Relatively speaking, they still prefer the direct and clear charge, and it's over after three strikes, five divisions and two. This twists and turns is really tormenting.

The five of William Bennett and the others were still riding in the Cadillac city utility vehicle, and not far behind them were the Toyota sedans driven by Basyev and Lowvsky.

Since they knew the purpose of William Bennett's trip in advance, the tracking distance was relatively long, and the monitoring equipment installed at the bottom of the car had been eliminated.

William Bennett is full of ambition at this time, he is imagining that as long as he gets 250 million US dollars, he can do a big job.

William Bennett has already made up his mind, he can't just go on silently and indifferently, he plans to wait a year and a half before becoming a contractor for the military, he is familiar with the road and can get money quickly.According to the relationship established before, and this time it can be regarded as a scapegoat, the higher-ups should give him some care.

The reason why he is not in a hurry, just like Chen Kangjie’s own analysis, is that William Bennett has read the minds of the Japanese, and they will never dare to let him show their ugly faces, it is absolutely unbearable The result of walking around.Therefore, he is very sure that the Japanese must care about his threats and will definitely give money in a strange way.

After World War II, the number of troops in the U.S. military has been on a downward trend. On the one hand, the U.S. military has focused on the use of high technology and military spending. On the other hand, the peaceful environment of the world makes it unnecessary to maintain a high number of troops.Especially after the Vietnam War, the U.S. military started a large-scale disarmament. Of course, the U.S. must ensure its status as the world’s number one superpower. In order to retain a sufficient number of combat units without reducing combat effectiveness, large-scale logistics departments can only be privately run change.Especially after the end of the Cold War, this trend became more and more obvious.

Of course, we have to admit that the reason why the U.S. military has made such a change is not only that the use of economic means will improve efficiency, but also pressure from the public.Every time the U.S. military intervenes in foreign conflicts, the people are most concerned about the casualty rate of soldiers. After all, no one wants their children or relatives to lose their lives in a foreign country.Once the casualty rate reaches a certain warning line, domestic anti-war sentiment will rise and the government will be asked to withdraw its troops.And hastily withdrawing troops may affect the overall interests, so the role of military contractors is becoming more and more obvious.

During the Gulf War in 1991, more than 1 non-military contractor employees provided services for the US military. Their casualties were not counted in the casualty rate of military operations because the government had paid a large amount of remuneration.

The concept of military contractors is very broad. As long as private companies undertake certain tasks or supply materials for the military, they are military contractors, such as construction companies that build canteens for the military, food companies that supply food, and of course, supply weapons to the military. Ammunition for the military industry.However, military contractors will not only contract the military's business in the rear, but also follow the army to the place where the war is fought to do business during the war.

I have to say that William Bennett's vision is still very good, and now it is the right time to enter the field of military contractors.The most well-known military contractor in the country should be Blackwater Company. This company has just been established for more than a year, and its strength is still very weak.This company shined brilliantly in the subsequent Iraq War and Afghanistan War. Its personnel expanded six hundred times from the original six, and its business volume also expanded from several million dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars.Of course, the reason why this company is famous is not that it is the largest, but because after the behind-the-scenes role in the abu ghraib incident (abu ghraib) was exposed, its business and operation methods have become the focus of public opinion controversy and accusations .

In 1951, Deyang Company's predecessor, Land Air Corporation, won its first contract from the US Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC), responsible for providing mission support and base-level support for US military aircraft and their weapon systems on a global scale. Maintenance service.Since then, Deyang Company has been the military logistics contractor of the U.S. Department of Defense from the Land Air Company to the present. Whether it is fighter jets, bombers, helicopters or other aircraft, Deyang Company is basically responsible for the maintenance and transportation of U.S. military aircraft.Basically, as long as the US military is involved in the execution of missions, there will be employees of Deyang Company.In addition to providing logistical services, Deyang also provides security services and directly participates in operations.For example, since the late 1990s, the U.S. has paid private contractors some $12 billion to assist the Colombian military in quelling the insurgency and eradicating the drug trade, and the Deyang Group has been awarded a significant portion of the work.

Far away, if William Bennett hadn't participated in the bombing of the Chinese embassy, ​​if Chen Kangjie knew that he wanted to set up a military contractor company, there might still be room for cooperation with him.With Chen Kangjie's financial support, this military contractor company is sure to rise fast and shine.

……

As night fell, there were fewer and fewer cargo ships on the Delaware River, and many of them had already returned to port. After all, sailing at night was much more dangerous than sailing during the day.The bustling Philadelphia has entered the nightlife, the cityscape lights are brightly lit, and the high-rise office buildings and residences in the distance have turned into dazzling buildings shining with stars. The whole city is showing its vitality and charm in another way.

In a weedy bush beside the Delaware River, there were a few completely black people cats.

Xiong Ziqiang raised his hand to look at the military watch on his left wrist, and said to a person beside him in a low voice, "Jie Shao, it's already [-]:[-], can we act?"

"Samidov, where have they been?" Chen Kangjie knelt on the ground, holding a telescope in his hand to observe the situation on the other side of the river.

The No. [-] wharf on the other side of the river occupies a vast area. The bustling scene of the day has receded. The temporary housing houses on both sides are lit up at night. The workers who have been busy all day should be cleaning up the fatigue of the day.In the entire operation area, there are many construction machinery parked, but it is already in pitch darkness, and the few high-altitude lights have not been turned on.

Also, how could it be as bright as daylight at such a special time tonight?Of course, it is better to hide it as much as possible.

"I'll be there in another 5 minutes." Samidov on the left was also kneeling on one leg with a mask on his head.

"Then we will wait another 5 minutes. We must make sure that their destination is on the opposite side. If we act in advance, if the other party changes the location, we will get nothing." Chen Kangjie said resolutely.

After another 6 minutes, Basyev and the others finally sent a message that Bennett and his vehicles had arrived at the road entrance outside the pier in District [-], but they did not drive directly in, but parked at two Hide between containers.In order not to attract attention, they have parked their vehicles far away, got out of the vehicles and followed up.

A few minutes later, Basyev sent another message saying that four of Bennett's bodyguards had gotten out of the car and were doing field reconnaissance, and two of them jumped over.

Chen Kangjie thought to himself, it seems that this Bennett is also a cautious person, and he is obviously a little worried about the Japanese, so he arrived an hour earlier.

"Samidov, tell Basyev and Lovsky about your arrangement. You don't need to follow closely, so as not to be exposed, let's go into the water..." After Chen Kangjie finished speaking, he crawled out of the grass like a crocodile Come out, put on the diving headgear, and climb towards the rolling river.

At this time, a freighter just passed by, and there was still a white spray belt on the river, and there was no boat coming from the upper and lower reaches of the river, which happened to be a good gap.
