I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 538 White Gloves

Inside Tabqa Air Force Base.

Chen Chen was sitting in the temporary residence arranged in advance, talking to Xiaoyu on the phone, and looking through the latest information in his hand about the CH-3A's first reconnaissance of Hasakah City.

It has to be said that the performance of this drone is much better than the ultra-short-range drone they used before.

After replacing the electronic pod, the CH-3A quickly locked onto the area of ​​abnormal electromagnetic activity in the city, and after transmitting the data back to the rear, tried to decipher it.

Of course, under the premise of using frequency hopping burst communication and cipher text communication, information deciphering is not a simple matter.

But being able to do this has actually solved most of the Dongfeng Corps' troubles.

According to reconnaissance information, there are at least two areas with abnormal electromagnetic activity that overlap with Suhail's earlier judgment of the hidden location of the Outlaw Legion team, respectively near the hospital and the gymnasium.

Next, what the CH-3A needs to do is to focus on reconnaissance and surveillance of these two locations on the basis of maintaining the number of sorties. After figuring out the opponent's defense configuration, they can then decide how to carry out air strikes against them.

After reading all the information, Chen Chen leaned back on his chair with satisfaction.

At this time, Xiaoyu on the phone was still talking to him about the disposal plan for bin Laden's body.

"After the body is handed over to the government forces, the United States will send a special team through Turkey to recover it. You don't need to intervene in this part of the work, but I hope you can put some pressure on Suhail through your own connections."

"At present, it is an indisputable fact that there is an insider in the Syrian government forces. Judging from the previous operations, if the insider had not leaked the secrets, the results we might have achieved would have been greater."

"So, you have to pull the lever Suhail."

"Now he can be said to have made outstanding achievements repeatedly. He is a close confidant of Issam and has gained prestige in the civil service group."

"Through him, we can influence the decision-making of the civilian group to a certain extent and guide the situation to develop in a direction that is beneficial to us."

"You have to note that bin Laden's body must be handed over to the United States intact."

"Also, you must strictly control the personnel under your command."

"The people were killed by SEAL Team 6, not you, do you understand?"

"...I understand, but my players don't necessarily understand."

Chen Chen sighed helplessly, and then said:

"Such earth-shattering achievements are now to be handed over to others. No one else would be able to understand it so easily."

"We--you talk about making miraculous feats incognito every day, but the people who are willing to do this are all in your team, and they cannot be in my mercenary group."

"I have to give them more compensation to suppress their emotions."

"That's human nature, right?"

"Correct."

Xiaoyu answered bluntly:

"You are very frustrated this time, and everyone knows it."

"The casualties are so high, and the credit cannot be shown to the outside world."

"But on the other hand, being a mercenary is all about making money. It's best not to do anything that affects making money."

"If the news is made public, you will have a false reputation, but the troubles will be endless. Not to mention not making money, it is not certain whether you will be alive in the future."

"When it comes to communicating with team members, I think you can start from this angle."

"Of course I know."

Chen Chen clicked his tongue and then said:
"But the problem is, even if we don't disclose it, the death threats that everyone receives will not change."

"so."

"Just tell me directly, how much do you want?"

Xiaoyu interrupted Chen Chen's words without politeness, and then said:

"It's only June now and our budget is almost spent."

"The loan you took away this year almost drained our capital pool."

"Next, if you apply for funding—for commissions, just take it easy."

"I don't want much. I just need to reimburse these people's pensions, and we will pay the commission ourselves."

Chen Chen did not speak loudly like a lion, but adhered to the principle of fairness and objectivity and calculated the expenses he needed for Xiaoyu one by one.

"A total of 461 million US dollars, this money needs to be released immediately."

"Other commissions will still come from Dongfeng Group's books."

"no problem."

Xiaoyu answered immediately, but then asked:
"What's your situation? Such a big company can't even get 500 million US dollars?"

"It's not that you can't take it out, it's just a code."

Chen Chen said solemnly:
"Since entering Syria, the boundaries of cooperation between our two sides have become quite blurred."

"Of course, personally, I don't find this trend objectionable."

"But the problem is that our mercenary group is not a real 'legal existence' after all. The more ambiguous it is, the easier it will be to drag you down, and ultimately bring backlash to ourselves."

"So, I hope that in subsequent tasks, we can more clearly define the scope of tasks and cooperation."

"We are black gloves, but you need a white glove too."

"Otherwise, many things will be difficult to discuss in the future."

"clear."

Xiaoyu was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and then said:

"Do you have any recommendations?"

"I didn't, and I shouldn't have either, right?"

Chen Chen asked rhetorically.

".That's true. How about Suhail?"

"Suhail can be a white glove, but the question is, how do you control him?"

“I believe that any organization or individual affiliated with the legitimate government is not suitable as a white glove, nor are domestic state-owned asset holding companies.”

"What you should choose are purely commercial companies that have a wide range of businesses, have security needs, have close ties with the government, have large-scale legal businesses, are privately held, and are trustworthy."

".You might as well just say the name."

Xiaoyu said speechlessly:
"But they absolutely can't do it. The areas they involve are too complex and will affect the whole body."

"Besides, they have no authority to intervene when it comes to issues of this level."

"I'm not talking about what you think."

Chen Chen denied:
"Of course they can't, but I have a company of the same type in my hands. If you need it, I can directly transfer half of the company's equity to you."

"What Tonglian Telecom are you talking about? What's their current scale?"

Xiaoyu was obviously interested. Chen Chen pulled out the report he had received from Peng Xucheng before and replied:
"Jiang He spent a lot of money on this company in the early stage. Just what you can see on the books is about 2000 million US dollars."

"Now, Tonglian has captured more than 40% of the MS market share in Southeast Asia, and there is a trend of continued expansion." "Moreover, their business scope is not limited to MS, and has begun to penetrate in a more professional direction. ”

"Jiang He just sold a batch of OEM mobile phones. There was no profit, but it opened up a relationship with Tanzania."

"Next step, we may let this company gradually enter the field of civilian electronics and continue to expand its business scope."

"Generally speaking, this company is very suitable as a white glove."

"But to get the equity of this company, we have to find a trustworthy shareholder."

Xiaoyu interrupted Chen Chen and continued:

"It feels like a greedy snake, with endless links."

"Of course, it is completely impossible for you to be completely risk-free, but this operation will be relatively safe for all of us at least."

"No problem, I'll make arrangements."

In a few simple words, the two of them finalized the white glove strategy, and at this time, Xiaoyu finally reacted.

She said angrily and funnyly:

"Can you please stop beating around the bush? In fact, if you mention it directly from the beginning, I won't object."

"This is just one of many suggestions I have."

Chen Chen smiled and replied:
"It's actually a win-win for us."

"Didn't you notice? In the Middle East, your intelligence work is a little too backward."

"In many cases, I even felt that what they were doing was no different from what they did in the movie Casablanca."

"If changes are not made immediately, intelligence operations will not evolve as fast as your power presence here."

"By then, catastrophic consequences will inevitably occur."

"It's like the CIA losing Andrea."

Xiaoyu interjected.

"Yeah, it's like the CIA losing Andrea."

Chen Chen agreed, then suddenly changed the topic and asked:
"So until now, the CIA hasn't realized what the French are doing here?"

"We think, no."

Xiaoyu's tone became serious again. After a moment of pause, she continued:
"Our intelligence personnel do not have much contact with the CIA, and the information they obtain is extremely limited."

"But based on the information currently available, the other side is still confused about the bombing incident in France."

"High-level contacts from both sides have begun, but it is clear that the French are not going to tell them the truth."

"There are even CIA informants who are already in contact with the Russians, trying to get reliable information from them."

"But you also know that Russia cannot simply hand over what it has in its hands."

"So we expect that this mystery will continue for a long time."

".I always feel like things are going to change."

Chen Chen sighed and suddenly asked confusedly:
“Is it possible that the UK will leave the EU earlier?”

This sentence immediately silenced Xiao Yugan. After a long time, she finally said:

“Sometimes I really want to say ‘Don’t mind your own business’, but thinking about it on the other hand, if you don’t even know this and don’t care, the Dongfeng Corps will not be the Dongfeng Corps, let alone develop to what it is now. It’s to a certain extent.”

"The pace of Brexit is indeed accelerating, but the connection between the changes in the European power structure and this round of French actions has not yet been confirmed."

"So, you don't have to think so much first."

"In the near term, you will get a break because of the extension of the ceasefire."

"Please digest the rewards you have received before proceeding to the next step."

"I want to tell you that the next round of fighting may very well be your last battle in Syria."

"This battle will be fought until the end."

"clear."

Chen Chen nodded solemnly and then hung up the phone.

Xiaoyu's words were a hint, but they were also a guide.

"Fight until the end" means that the intensity and scale of the next battle will be fundamentally improved.

To deal with such a battle, the Dongfeng Corps must make all preparations before the ceasefire ends.

Equipment, personnel, tactics, allies.
There were many things that needed to be dealt with, and more importantly, Chen Chen knew very well that in this large-scale battle, the Dongfeng Corps could no longer maintain the original combat form of a special team.

Their tactics will truly transform into modern large corps operations.

Fighter, yes.

Drones, yes.

Helicopters, yes.

Radar and air defense systems are there.

Armored clusters - maybe.

All of this is the equipment that is really needed to win a modern war.

In the early days of starting his business, Chen Chen took great pains to upgrade his Bayi bar into a Christmas tree HK416.

Now, what he has to do is to upgrade the MiG-21 to the Su-27, the ultra-short-range drone to the Rainbow-3A, the Mi-8 to the Hind, and the P-series radar to the JYL -1, even JY-27A
This is definitely not an easy task, but if it can be accomplished, the benefits that the Dongfeng Corps can gain from it will be unprecedented and unprecedented.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen dialed Peng Xucheng's phone number and began to make a series of arrangements.

The first thing he has to do is to quickly digest and absorb the benefits that this battle has brought to the Dongfeng Corps, just like Xiaoyu said.

These include the first funds received from Suhail, the commissions and pensions received from Xiaoyu, the "protection fees" or "first-quarter share" collected from Chaisili, and funds collected from gold mines, equipment exports, Cash returns obtained from engineering subcontracting, logistics services and other businesses.

Of course, there are also the drones, helicopters and the airport itself that were "lent" to the Dongfeng Corps by Xiaoyu but have actually been used by the Dongfeng Corps.

Some of these gains are directly related to the war in Syria, and some are only indirectly affected.

But there is no doubt that after a war, a steady stream of profits is pouring into this small group like a flood, almost to the point of bursting the group's reservoir. .

Therefore, Chen Chen must find a way to transform these interests into real "development", or in other words, into real combat effectiveness.

Perhaps Peng Xucheng can handle things that neither Xiaoyu nor Xia Xing can provide.

The Dongfeng Corps already has highly mobile and multi-functional armored vehicles, as well as support from fighter jets and drones.

As for traditional artillery and guns, they have no shortage at all.

Well now, they only lack one thing.

missile.

A serious missile!
