Chapter 985: Mercenaries Join the War
"But even if we maintain battlefield communications, what about the personal safety of those civilians ? Are we just going to watch them die at the hands of the guards?"
Miranda looked at the uploaded videos with some reluctance.
In the video, cities were flattened by the Guard, with flames everywhere, corpses everywhere, rubble everywhere, and ashes and debris everywhere.
There was ruin and destruction everywhere.
It’s hard to imagine how ordinary people can survive here.
"Ordinary civilians are definitely not able to fight against regular troops, no matter how many weapons and advanced equipment they are given. This is a generational gap in professionalism that cannot be bridged."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Are we just going to stand there and watch?" Miranda asked.
"Of course not. We will definitely send people. After all, this is a big issue of democracy and freedom. If we don't participate, it would be too disrespectful to the host country."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"So, you mean to send our newly formed cowboy cavalry?"
Miranda asked.
"No," Zhang Tuohai shook his head decisively, "They have just been reorganized. They are fine for guarding prisoners, but asking them to fight against professional soldiers is no different from sending them to their deaths."
"Then, we don't have any power to use."
Miranda said.
"Who said there isn't one?" Zhang Tuohai said with a smile.
"Where?" Miranda asked.
"Mercenary." Zhang Tuohai uttered a noun.
"Mercenaries? Can they do it?" Miranda didn't quite believe it.
"If they fight head-on on the battlefield, mercenaries will definitely not be able to defeat the regular army, that's for sure. However, that doesn't mean mercenaries can't play a role. The characteristics of mercenaries are small scale, flexible deployment, and fast penetration. We can split large groups of mercenaries into small formations and have them penetrate behind enemy lines to destroy important traffic routes, bridges, airports, supply lines, and continuously attack key departments such as grain depots, oil depots, and ammunition depots. We can even decapitate their headquarters."
Zhang Tuohai explained.
"Can it really work?" Miranda was distrustful of the mercenaries.
"We can hire them with just a little money, so why not give it a try? We don't have any other forces to use right now, so why not let these hyenas test their strength? Even if it can consume some of the enemy's energy, it will be good."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Well, I'll just wait and see."
Miranda said, crossing her arms over her shoulders.
Zhang Tuohai passed the order down, and the national treasury immediately took out a portion of the money from reselling luxury goods, established a foundation, and issued recruitment orders to mercenary groups all over the world. Anyone who was willing to go to the Lighthouse Country to rescue those free people would be given 300,000 yuan, which would be paid immediately after they landed and completed the check-in.
The requirement for checking in is to kill an enemy, then take a photo and send it to the Freedom Call website. After the website confirms it, the money will be transferred immediately.
And he promised that the more Lighthouse Country troops were killed, the more money he would be given.
After hearing about the generous bounty, many mercenaries were eager to try .
They are originally a group of people fighting for bounty. As long as the bounty is high enough, they dare to fight not only the Lighthouse Country, but even aliens.
What's more, you can get 300,000 just by killing one person and taking a photo. This kind of good thing is rare. If you can kill more than twenty people, you can retire directly.
It is easy to imagine the appeal of living a retired life decades in advance for these guys who are on the edge of a knife every day.
Many people came from far away places, from Africa, to help the people of the Lighthouse Country and rescue them from the clutches of the dictatorial parliament.
A large number of mercenaries landed from the Chicken Roll Country and then entered the Lighthouse Country through the tunnel.
Before entering the Lighthouse Country, everyone received a small gift - a drone and precision-guided bombs.
These are definitely not effective against regular armies with regular field air defense, but they are enough to deal with the garrisons in empty strongholds.
Langley is a novice mercenary who has traveled thousands of miles to the Lighthouse Country for the sky-high bounty.
When he set foot on the land of the Lighthouse Country, he was stunned by the scene before him.
There were ruins and rotting corpses everywhere, crows and vultures circling in the sky, and flames and black smoke burning among the ruins.
A scene of the end of hell.
"Is this really the beacon country? How come it's worse than Africa?" Langley was puzzled.
"Isn't it those damn Lighthouse Country Guards who did it? You better be alert, don't go looking for those guards to fight with. Run as far as you can and don't even think about fighting them head-on." An old mercenary reminded.
"But if we don't fight the guards, how can we clock in and complete the mission? How can we get the bonus if we don't complete the mission?" Langley asked curiously.
"Idiot, instead of attacking the main combat forces, we can attack the logistics and the material distribution centers. Of course we have to pick on the weak ones." said the old mercenary.
"Will this work?" Langley asked.
"Don't worry, I've been in this business for many years. I know the ins and outs of it much better than you do. How can I harm you? You can be right if you listen to me."
The old mercenary took Langley to a small ammunition depot. There were not many things in it and there were few people guarding it.
In the entire base, only a few guards on the watchtower were yawning.
The old mercenary released a drone under the cover of night and used precision-guided bombs to launch a surprise attack on the small ammunition depot.
Boom, boom!
Two precision-guided bombs were dropped.
The small ammunition depot was blown up into the sky.
That guardhouse was also blown away.
The body was thrown far away.
The old mercenary pulled Langley to the burning ammunition depot and took a photo with the corpse, which he successfully checked in and uploaded.
After sending out a drone to verify, the money was immediately transferred to the two people's accounts. Because they successfully destroyed an ammunition depot, they were given a bonus of 1 million.
Langley, who had never seen so much money, was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he had to ask the old mercenaries to do more jobs to earn back his pension.
The check-in photos of the two people caused a huge stir in the mercenary circle.
They didn't expect that someone would successfully check in on the first day, and even successfully destroyed an ammunition depot.
What surprised them even more was that the foundation kept its promise and actually gave out a high bonus of 1 million.
You know, when they used to work as mercenaries, it was rare for them to get full commissions, and many times they had to plunder the local area to ensure profits.
But here, they not only get full commissions, but also huge bonuses. This move almost overturned their three views.
For mercenaries, money means fighting power. Money means fighting power. Under the stimulation of money, many mercenaries who were ready to fish and rob at the same time began to gear up and start to make trouble for the guards.
