Chapter 5172: Build base

After returning to the temporary camp, the actuary moved to shore. Reported the current situation to Lin Rui.
The actuaries have handled the specific affairs of the Mercenary Alliance quite well. The mercenary alliance, which had always been a group of dragons without a leader, temporarily settled down.
Lin Rui looked at the report submitted by the actuary and nodded to him, "I knew I should leave these things to you."
"In fact, I didn't play a big role. Instead, it was the service departments we brought over from Russia.
This group of people is quite capable. They are accountants, lawyers, and some other non-military personnel. They got everything done, including various contracts, business disputes, and various complicated accounting issues.
I am just responsible for dispatching and commanding. "The actuary smiled Anshi.
"Yes, the people who were recruited from the Russian branch at the beginning have finally reached the time to use them." Lin Rui nodded, "But it's time for us to think about our own business?
What do you think about the establishment of a permanent base? "
"This is a must. Our business is getting bigger and bigger, and this time we have made such a big profit in the Mercenary Alliance.
Our business will be further expanded. At present, our business share in Africa has reached nearly 20%.
This is the first time that a private military company has reached such a large scale since the dissolution of the Black Island Company.
And it is foreseeable that in the next few years, our business will develop rapidly, and sooner or later will rush to 30% of the market share.
From an investment perspective, we are a high-quality stock with great potential. "The actuary smiled.
"So, we have to build a headquarters base camp. Just like the black island before, we can. Ensure that our troops can be quickly deployed to any corner of Africa.
What are your considerations in terms of location? "Lin Rui looked at the actuary and asked.
The actuary took off his glasses and wiped it with a handkerchief. "We have to find a suitable geographical location, and we have to consider the stability of the local political situation.
After these add up, there are not many places to choose from. After you mentioned it last time, I did some investigations.
Choose one of several alternatives, the location is in Lake Victoria. "
"Lake Victoria?" Lin Rui frowned slightly.
"Yes, the largest lake in Africa. Most of them are in Tanzania and Uganda, and a small part belongs to Kenya.
The lake catches an area of ​​238,900 square kilometers. The lake area is one of the most densely populated areas in Africa. Millions of people live within an 80-kilometer radius of the coast, almost all of whom speak Bantu language. There are local steamboats navigating on the lake.
Since the 1990s, ferries on Lake Victoria have become an important means of transportation between Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya.
There is a nice island there, the location is quite good, the water transport plane can stop or take off at any time.
There we can avoid interference, and the geographical position is superior, and we can quickly reach other parts of Africa. "The actuary explained Kishi.
"Sounds good." Lin Rui nodded.
"The important thing is that the island used to be the resident of the French army. Later, the French army withdrew and the island stayed.
There are some infrastructures on the island, but they are all abandoned. If it is refurbished, it can be put into use in a short time.
I have contacted relevant countries and leased the island from them. If there are no problems, the lease can last for 30 or 50 years.
For a small amount of money, we can take the right to use there. However, other construction including this island is a lot of expense.
But with our current capabilities, these are not problems at all. As long as you nod, I will find someone to do it right away. "
Lin Rui nodded, "There won't be any problems, right?"
"Absolutely not. I have already investigated the details. If we get there, we will start construction.
I estimate that it will be put into use by next summer. Of course, this is a process that cannot be accomplished overnight.
Compared with this, I am more concerned about the recruitment of personnel. After the base is completed, the scale of the company needs to be expanded, and we need a large number of personnel.
Lake Victoria is the most densely populated area in Africa, and we can set up a training camp there. It can provide us with a large number of soldiers every year.
As you know, Uganda is currently the largest exporter of mercenaries in Africa. Many people there are willing to join mercenaries, and most of them have experience in military operations.
This is also an advantage for us. "The actuary nodded and said.
"How is the current recruitment situation of the soldiers in the various units?" Lin Rui asked.
"From the current situation, the situation is quite good. Most of the troops we lost before have been effectively replenished.
But just the basic source of troops is not enough. We are already thinking of ways to recruit some backbone forces mainly composed of retired soldiers. Of course not in Africa.
African soldiers are physically strong but lazy, and have good physical fitness, but are loose and timid. The military quality is quite poor. This is why they are cheap.
Therefore, the most ideal target is the European and American countries. Especially some military powers. The military quality of the soldiers there is guaranteed, and like Russia or the United States, there are retired soldiers who have participated in the battle.
Some of them have fought in the Caucasus, some have fought in Afghanistan. There are also professional mercenaries who are based on this.
These people ask for high prices, but there is a reason for them. Compared with those African black buddies, they have more military qualities. "The actuary replied Jiangshi.
"Yeah, if you want a group of newly joined African mercenaries to look like, this kind of old guys can't be less. Only with this kind of experience, veterans are the real backbone. The higher the price, the higher, but I must find The best." Lin Rui nodded.
"Boss in this regard, don't worry, the company's human resources department is working on this matter.
We have launched an open recruitment to many countries through a website announcement.
The risk of doing this business is quite high, but the income is attractive enough. As long as the salary is generous enough, there will be no fewer people signing up. "The actuary nodded Shishi.
"Finally, I can rest for a while." Lin Rui sat on the chair. "This period of time is really exhausting. We have just finished the Western Sahara mission and are busy fighting for power in the Mercenary Alliance.
Just take advantage of this opportunity to let the brothers recuperate and take a big holiday. "
The actuary Jiangan nodded, "I think so too, but I'm afraid we haven't had time to rest yet."
"What do you mean? There is another commissioned task?" Lin Rui frowned.
