Rebirth of a technological power - Chapter 299 Mercenaries
Future Technology Group, headquarters building.
After the establishment of the ‘Moon Mining Group’, it was time for one thing to come to fruition.
Cai Jin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the blue sky and blue sea outside, his eyes looking deep.
New production base, as well as lunar factory and space factory!
These are all things that need to be done now.
There is also the mecha factory.
A factory that originally specialized in intelligent mechanical dogs was set aside to produce mechas.
It started with the production of F-type mechas, and now this group of employees is undergoing training.
After looking around, it was almost time to set off.
Cai Jin informed the others and went downstairs.
When they arrived downstairs, a team of intelligent mechanical dogs maintained order.
I saw a unique-looking plane landing vertically in the sky.
After so many years, the vertical take-off and landing of airplanes is no longer so shocking and incredible.
The more you watch it, the less shocking it will be.
Cai Jin was the first to enter it. This was a private jet he specially built for use within the atmosphere. After all, air and space fighters are still a bit flamboyant.
Others followed suit.
This time, Qin Yang brought a total of twenty people.
When everyone got on the private plane, a voice prompted everyone to fasten their seat belts, and an intelligent robotic dog patrolled and checked them one by one.
After confirming that everything was correct, the private plane immediately took off vertically and flew north.
This time their destination was Gaoguan Sha, Hunan.
Hunan Province is located in the middle of the country and in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Most of the area is located south of Dongting Lake, bordering Gan Province to the east, mountain cities to the west, Guangdong Province and Guizhou Province to the south, and Jingchu Province to the north.
The province has a population of more than 67 million!
Changsha is the provincial capital city. The most talked about place here is probably that housing prices have not risen for many years.
In addition, there is the Mango Terrace.
The private jet’s cruising speed reached Mach 3, and the straight-line distance was less than 700 kilometers, so it arrived quickly.
When the private plane landed at the airport, everyone was still in disbelief.
Because they had never flown on such a fast plane before, and they didn’t feel it at all.
“Boss Cai, you are welcome to come and inspect.” The leaders of Hunan Province looked at Cai Jin as if they were the God of Wealth.
None of them expected that Hunan Province would be selected.
This is like a piece of cake.
You know, their competitiveness here is not as good as that of Jingchu Province.
Jingchu Province has formed a national semiconductor center, and the scale of the semiconductor industry every year is extremely scary.
But no one thought that Future Technology Group would take a fancy to them.
“Leader Zhang, Leader Mao, you don’t have to be like this!” Cai Jin was a little surprised to see such a big battle.
Almost all the leaders of the province are here.
It’s just an inspection, why should it be like this.
Besides, you don’t necessarily have to settle here.
This year, Future Technology Group will start construction on all the land reserved for the Chengdu production base and the Northeast production base to expand production.
In addition, a new production base is set up.
The production base will definitely no longer exist.
It was supposed to be conducted province by province, but a leader came to him and asked him to respond with emotion and reason.
Cai Jin has never been to Hunan Province and does not know much about it.
He only has two impressions of Hunan Province, one is the mango station, and the other is that people in Hunan Province like to eat chili peppers and are not afraid of spicy food!
“Boss Cai, we have to represent the 67 million people of the province. Thank you. If we didn’t retain you, then we would be the sinners of the province.” Leader Zhang said.
For Future Technology Group, the choice is the same everywhere.
But for them, it’s different.
A production base represents a large amount of gross production value, a large amount of tax revenue, and a large number of jobs.
And according to normal circumstances, when the production base of Future Technology Group is settled, supporting companies will often choose to follow suit nearby.
This is a chain reaction.
If they messed up, they might all have their backs pointed at and scolded.
The motorcade headed for the provincial office building.
In the conference room, a map of the entire Hunan Province appeared on the big screen.
Leader Zhang said: “Boss Cai, no matter where you are interested in, we will do our best to serve you, even if it is this building, there is no problem.”
Cai Jin smiled: “Boss, what do you think of this place? It doesn’t occupy farmland, it’s just a few factories.”
“No problem, this little land is not enough, this land will be allocated to you.” Leader Zhang drew a circle.
“Forget it, just transfer it. It’s as much as it should be. But the price has to be fair, and you need to help negotiate.” Cai Jin said.
The area of these factories is quite large, almost 10,000 acres in size.
According to the aerial map, there are stone factories, pickle pickling factories and the like.
Hunan Province has also benefited from the transfer of industries in the past few years. After all, Jingchu Province is not interested in those transferred industries. They have made up their mind to focus on the semiconductor industry, automobile industry, new energy industry, etc.
Soon, the matter was finalized.
The reason why Cai Jin chose this place was actually not objectionable, because it was just in the middle and could spread out the surrounding provinces.
With the continuous construction of airports in various places, it is expected that in about ten years, every city across the country will have an airport, transportation will be greatly improved, and the distance in time will be greatly reduced.
In this case, it is actually no problem to build it here.
As for the Lunar Mining Group’s plan to establish its headquarters in the west, Cai Jin has no objection.
Soon, the two parties held a signing ceremony, and the news spread throughout the country.
The entire Hunan Province is rejoicing, and even the air is filled with some joy.
Cai Jin handed the matter over to the person in charge, ‘Xu Xin’, and paid no more attention to it.
Africa.
Thick smoke billowed and gunfire continued.
In the past few centuries, this place has not been a paradise, and war has never completely left this land.
Africa’s rich natural resources are always overlooked by careerists.
The common man is not guilty of the crime of having a jade in his possession. This principle has never been out of date.
There are so many tribes here, and the forces formed by the tribes are always prone to conflicts.
At the same time, this place is also a paradise for mercenaries. The mercenaries who live on the edge of the waves always like turbulent places the most.
Here, legal provisions are like fiction and are not taken seriously at all.
This is a mercenary’s paradise.
The tribes here hire mercenaries to provide protection, and they pay. If you don’t have money, take out minerals as mortgage.
Iron ore, copper ore or even gold!
At this time, a war between two tribes was going on. Both sides were shooting at each other with guns. The cannons were ordinary items, and there were not even a few shoulder-mounted rocket launchers.
The fighting here is not even at the level of a battle.
If it falls one step behind, the entire African Union will not be able to reach the level of the Arab League.
The AU is a whole, but it has never really been a whole.
At this time, things were even more turbulent. For most people, there was no concept of the African Union at all.
The law of the forest, the law of the jungle, is clearly reflected here.
Finally, with the help of mercenaries, one party achieved a complete victory.
“Gopp, you black bear mercenaries are so powerful in combat!” The tribal chief gave a thumbs up to the leader of the black bear mercenaries.
Without the black bear mercenaries, their tribe had no chance of victory.
“Felician, we are mercenaries and we value credibility. As long as we are paid according to the agreement, that’s it!” A strong man said indifferently.
His name is Gop, and he is the leader of the black bear mercenaries.
Mercenaries walk on the edge of death every day, side by side with the God of Death. They don’t fight for the country. They only want to make money if they have money.
Black bear mercenaries are mainly retired elite soldiers from Da Mao. Gop was once a colonel. After retiring, he came to Africa with several comrades to work as mercenaries. There are constant wars here all year round, and it is simply a paradise for mercenaries. Gopp established the Black Bear Mercenary, and the business grew bigger and bigger. Because of the money, the Black Bear Mercenary could recruit many members from the retired elite soldiers of Da Mao every year.
Now that the economy is in recession, the growth is either negative or weak. It is not easy for everyone to make money. Being a mercenary is a good choice for retired soldiers.
In a few years, the number of Black Bear mercenaries has reached 5,000. The military weapons they possess are no less than those of the regular army. They include not only tanks and aircraft, but also countless heavy weapons such as rocket launchers and air bombs.
Black Bear mercenaries are now involved in the beer and timber business, and mining gold and diamonds, earning tens of billions of yuan in revenue every year.
Now accepting Felician’s employment is because Felician is rewarded with a gold mine, and the black bear mercenaries will have the exploration and mining rights of this gold mine.
The mining area of this gold mine covers an area of 300 square kilometers, with 8 huge veins. The ore is of high grade and shallowly buried. It was previously mined manually by surrounding villagers and relied on it for 50,000 people to make a living.
The black bear mercenaries have been coveting this gold mine for a long time, and this time they finally waited for the opportunity.
“Definitely!” Felician said.
He didn’t dare to break the contract because he couldn’t afford to offend the black bear mercenaries!
Black Bear mercenaries are among the top ten mercenaries in Africa. How can a tribe like them afford to offend?
In Africa, you can bully other people, but you must not bully mercenaries, otherwise you will not know how you will die.
In this turbulent land, the mercenaries are even stronger than the regular army.
These mercenaries are also not interested in politics, otherwise they might be able to establish a country directly.
Gop nodded with satisfaction.
With the exploration and mining rights of this gold mine, you can make more money, and then you can continue to recruit more retired soldiers, and you can also buy more weapons and ammunition.
Mercenaries need a lot of weapons and ammunition.
For example, in a war like the one that just ended, millions of bullets alone were consumed, and a lot of artillery shells were also consumed.
Gop asked people to clean the battlefield and search for trophies. The trophies belonged to their black bear mercenaries.
As for the corpses, they were collected directly, poured with gasoline, and burned.
In this land, human life is the least valuable.
“Boss, I heard that the peacekeeping force is only 50 miles away from us. Do we want to teach them a lesson?” said a mercenary smoking a cigarette.
Gop glanced at it and said indifferently: “If you want to die, go alone and don’t hurt everyone!”
“Do you know which country your peacekeeping troops are from?” Gop said indifferently: “Idiot, that’s something we can’t provoke. If we provoke them, we won’t have to do business anymore!”
“Is it the American peacekeeping force?” The mercenary was a little curious.
“I’m not afraid of them!” Gop glanced at them: “They are Chinese peacekeeping troops!”
The mercenary shrank his head, feeling a chill on his neck.
The peacekeeping force is a cross-border special force established in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions for peacekeeping operations.
The combat capabilities of peacekeeping troops from different countries vary greatly.
The combat effectiveness of the peacekeeping troops from China is second to none. Every peacekeeping soldier is armed to the teeth.
The peacekeeping force barracks here are only fifty miles away from them, but the Chinese Navy’s supply port here is also only fifty miles away.
At a distance of fifty miles, the missile would arrive in the blink of an eye.
“Boss, there’s news. Lehman mercenaries are fighting with the peacekeepers!” A mercenary drove up in a jeep and shouted excitedly.
“Lehman mercenaries? Why are they crazy? Are they looking for death?” Gop frowned slightly, confused.
The Lehman mercenaries are not weak in strength. They belong to a large mercenary group. There are as many as a thousand mercenaries. Each mercenary has very sophisticated weapons. They are not as good as the Black Bear mercenaries, but they should not be underestimated.
Moreover, Lehman mercenaries have existed much longer than Black Bear mercenaries.
“Come on, let’s go take a look!” Gop said.
They gathered some people and left in a jeep.
Standing some distance away on a hillside, Gop held a military telescope and looked at the two warring parties ahead.
The peacekeeping force’s barracks are equipped with complete fortifications, and the peacekeeping force soldiers are fighting with the help of the fortifications.
The combat mechanical dog is occupying a favorable position and conducting fire suppression.
In the air, drones are conducting reconnaissance and attacks.
“You are so armed to the teeth and rich as hell!” Gop muttered to himself. When he participated in a military exercise between the two sides, their weapons and equipment were not like this at that time.
Unexpectedly, in less than ten years, such a big change has occurred.
There are only about two hundred people in this peacekeeping force barracks. But facing almost a thousand mercenaries, he was not afraid. With the help of combat mechanical dogs, mechanical bulls and drones, he caused huge damage to the mercenaries.
Gopp felt that if the situation continued like this, the Lehman mercenaries would probably be seriously injured, or even the whole army might be wiped out.
A faint smile appeared on Gop’s face, a smile of schadenfreude.
He still has some understanding of the Lehman mercenaries. These mercenaries mainly come from SEALs, Green Berets, and some elite retired soldiers. Their combat effectiveness is quite strong.
Once, a group of mercenaries of the same size was wiped out with very few casualties.
