Chapter 63 High Salary
"Monkey!" A man with an afro rushed over, picked up the monkey and shook it hard.
"Ahem, if you shake me again I'll die." The monkey woke up slowly, but he felt that he was going to be shaken unconscious again.
"Hehe, I'm just worried about you." The guy with the afro scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"How about it, are you willing to accept the defeat?" Long Yuan walked over, surrounded by soldiers from the Arika Kingdom. They were afraid that the monkey would do something bad to Long Yuan.
"You are very strong, and I am not the kind of villain who does not keep his promise. But I only said that I would join you, but I did not say that these brothers who want to leave should stay. If you want to keep them, it depends on your ability ." The monkey smiled wickedly.
"Really? That's easy." Long Yuan smiled confidently and turned to look at Mitchell: "Tell me about the strength of these people?"
"Boss, my brothers have experienced dozens of wars, big and small, and some have even experienced hundreds of wars. I dare to guarantee that they are not inferior to special forces." Mitchell promised.
"That's good. You gather them all together." Long Yuan turned around and returned to the podium. After Mitchell gathered everyone below the stage, Long Yuan straightened his collar and took a step forward.
"Hello, soldiers. My name is Long Yuan." Long Yuan paused here. The soldiers of Arika immediately applauded. Half of the soldiers who planned to stay also applauded. The other half who wanted to leave clasped their hands and looked at Long Yuan.
Long Yuan pressed down with both palms, and the applause stopped.
“I know half of you don’t want to stay, but please listen to me before you decide whether to stay or go.
There are three salary levels for soldiers under my command. The third level is $20,000 a month with various insurance subsidies , the second level is $50,000 a month with the same benefits, and the first level is $100,000 a month with the same benefits."
After saying that, Long Yuan temporarily stopped describing. The people below were already in an uproar. Was it because the salary Long Yuan paid was low ? No, it was not low at all. It could even be said to be too high.
You should know that the basic monthly salary of a new E1 private in the military camp is more than one thousand US dollars. In addition, there are many various subsidies, and the average monthly salary is about two thousand US dollars; the monthly salary of a second lieutenant at the O1 level is about four thousand dollars, and the monthly salary of a four-star general at the O10 level is nearly twenty thousand US dollars.
This is the salary of soldiers in the United States, and it was the salary of the United States in the 2020s when Long Yuan was there, not to mention the current era when we haven’t even entered the year 2000.
The salary offered by Long Yuan could make many people sacrifice their lives, but this was exactly the effect Long Yuan wanted. He needed a group of soldiers who would risk their lives for him.
"Sir, is this true? Can we get it too?" A soldier from Arica said with anticipation.
Well, Long Yuan really hadn't considered these soldiers, but just because they were able to stand in front of him and prevent him from being in danger, his treatment in the future can be improved.
"If you train harder and become the elite among the elites, you will have the opportunity to enter the first tier. You must work hard." Long Yuan found that his official words were becoming more and more fluent.
"Yes! Sir!" Although they were a little disappointed, they also knew their own strengths and weaknesses. It was okay to use them to bully their own family members, but if they really wanted to fight seriously, they would fall down in minutes.
But the soldiers of Arika secretly made up their minds to train hard and reach the third level that Long Yuan mentioned.
At this time, Mitchell's brothers quieted down and the man with the afro came out.
"What you said is true. As long as we join, we will get this kind of salary. It's not a blank check." The man with the afro said with doubt.
He couldn't help but suspect that the salary offered by Long Yuan was the highest among soldiers from all countries.
Don't think that mercenaries have high salaries. Even elites like them can only earn $10,000 a month after working hard. So the salary offered by Long Yuan really makes them tempted but also suspicious.
"Is what I said true?" Long Yuan chuckled. "If I were the kind of person who only talks big and writes blank checks, would you, Captain, follow me?"
Mitchell, who was standing by, twitched his lips when he heard this. He didn't know who had talked for so long into getting them to join the organization, and then when he asked, he found out that there were only two people before they joined.
However, Long Yuan's big plan is being realized step by step, so it can't be considered as deceiving them.
After hearing this, the people below thought it was true. They knew their captain's temper. The fact that he was willing to follow them was enough to show his virtue.
"I'm sorry, boss. I was reckless." The guy with the afro called out "boss", indicating that he was willing to become Long Yuan's subordinate.
The others looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Boss!"
The sound was earth-shaking. Standing on the high platform, Long Yuan suddenly felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart, as if the world was in his control.
"I can give you a generous salary, but I need you to give me three things in return..." Long Yuan paused here, glanced at everyone, and then slowly said: "First, loyalty. I need your loyalty."
"Second, loyalty. I don't need disobedient subordinates."
"Third, it's loyalty. I want you to obey my orders no matter what the circumstances. Can you do that?"
There was silence in the audience for a moment, and then energy could be heard one after another, and finally combined together, the uniform energy resounded through the sky.
Long Yuan nodded in satisfaction and walked down the platform.
"Mitchell, I trust you with these brothers. First, incorporate them into the Azure Dragon Army. Then you continue recruiting. Fill up the external legions first, and we can deal with the rest later."
"Yes! Boss!" Mitchell opened the car door for Long Yuan and watched Long Yuan go away.
Long Yuan, who was far away, didn't know that everything he did in Raccoon City had attracted the interest of some people.
In a Western-style building, Sergei was reporting intelligence to a white-haired old man sitting in a wheelchair.
"You did a great job, Sergei. With that information, Umbrella Corporation can be reborn."
Spencer had a faint smile on his face, but it immediately turned into a ferocious expression: “That guy Albert actually dared to betray me. I regarded him as my heir.”
"Master, I have another piece of information here." Seeing this, Sergei quickly changed the subject.
"Oh, go ahead." Spencer closed his eyes. Albert's betrayal dealt him a great blow. Now all his hopes rested on Alexia.
"According to the information we received, during the Raccoon City incident, most of the BOWs and William we sent out were wiped out by a Chinese person."
A cold look flashed in Sergei's eyes.
