Chapter 1806: Soldier shortage

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Rui and others came to Askar Security Services together with Wallace, a black broker. This is the first company to be established and Uganda's major company to export mercenaries overseas.
Ugandan mercenaries are a "cheap and good quality" option for military contractors. A monthly salary of US$1,000 is enough to allow a Ugandan veteran to happily go to Iraq or other war zones, because based on the average wage level in Uganda during the same period, he still earns less than US$300 a year in the country.
However, in terms of the dangers of this job, the salary of one thousand dollars is really meager. The "Victory Battalion", the main base of the US military in Iraq, is guarded by Ugandan mercenaries. Security tasks include checking whether vehicles entering and exiting are loaded with bombs.
This work may cost them their lives at any time, and their treatment is really pitiful in the eyes of the US military. Therefore, Ugandan mercenaries quickly became famous in the security industry by virtue of their advantages of "low price and good quality", and became a common end of the mercenary industry supply chain, and the top of the supply chain is often the Pentagon.
Ascar Security Service Company, which exports mercenaries to foreign countries, is also rising, and it has been mixed up in recent years. Although as a low-end link, they can get limited profits, but it does not prevent them from becoming a pivotal role in the eyes of various military security companies.
The security at the door is very strict. Several men are all wearing white shirts and black suits, all with dark and shiny bald heads and wearing sunglasses. Stand there and check the belongings of the entrant. If there are weapons, they will be kept properly. Judging from their search methods, they are fairly formal. This shows that these security personnel have received strict training.
Lin Rui and others followed Wallace in, and Wallace whispered a few words to one of the security guards. The black security guard nodded and walked over to give priority to Lin Rui and others for inspection. Lin Rui and Jiang An didn't care, but Yelena wouldn't let this man search her.
She squeezed the wrist of the black security guard and said coldly, "Remove your paw!"
The man frowned, "Sorry, ma'am, this is a safety rule."
"Any regulations can be changed." Lin Rui put a card in front of him. The man looked at it and immediately bowed his head and walked away. This is a card of the Black Island Military Company. The black island and lightning pattern on it are quite important in the mercenary world in Africa. This man naturally knows well, and another reason is that his wrist has been bruised. That beautiful-looking woman, her hands are almost like iron tongs.
The man looked at them in awe and then made a please gesture.
"It should have been this way, I said, these three are distinguished guests." Wallace mumbled as he walked.
"Is it Mr. Rick from the Black Island Military Company?" A black woman came out and nodded politely to them.
"Yes, we have an appointment." Wallace nodded.
The black woman smiled professionally, "Please follow me, Mr. Fei Jie is waiting for you in his office."
Lin Rui nodded and followed the woman to an office on the fourth floor. The bodyguard at the door opened the door for them.
As soon as they entered, a black man inside immediately stood up to greet him, and stretched out his hand to Lin Rui, "Mr. Rick, hello. I am the vice president of Askar Security Services and the head of expatriate affairs. You can call me Fei Jie."
Lin Rui nodded, "Hello."
After a few people sat down, the black Fei Jie smiled and said, "I probably heard Wallace tell you what you are here. To be honest, to be able to cooperate with a big company like Heidao is simply something we dream of. And I also have a lot of respect for Mr. Michel of your company. But..."
Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Although my English is not very good, I also know that after'but', it is usually a turning point."
"Hehe, Mr. Rick is like that." Fei Jie smiled, "Let’s put it this way, we attach great importance to this business with you. Because I know the importance of the Black Island Company in the mercenary alliance, and I do business with most of the companies in the alliance. However, this time, it may be a bit difficult."
"Oh? I don't know what is the so-called difficulty of Mr. Fei Jie?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"In the past year, our business has been growing. You know that the world is not peaceful, and the recent situation is even more so. Many regions in Africa and the Middle East need us to provide high-quality sources of mercenaries. This has led to the resources we currently have. very nervous.
Recently, several major customers have ordered a large number of people from us. They double the price, and they are in Africa, so there is no need to go to the Middle East. This makes the mercenaries rush. Even some young people who have no military experience and have never touched a gun want to earn a vote. But even so, our manpower is not enough. "Fei Jie said helplessly.
"You mean you lack the source of troops?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"Yes. I'm afraid we can't help you gather five hundred people, and even gather more than two hundred recruits, it's difficult." Fei Jie smiled bitterly. "It's true. So I really can't help you, it's a pity."
Lin Rui pondered, "So is there any other way?"
"Other methods..." Fei Jie groaned, "If in the usual way, I can use our relationship to talk to other companies and borrow a group of people from them. But this time it won't work. I can use other companies. I also asked, and their situation is similar to ours."
"In the country of mercenaries, there is a labor shortage." Jiang An sighed, "This is really unexpected. But it seems a bit too coincidental, isn't it?"
"It is indeed such a coincidence. In fact, you should be familiar with those companies. They are Morningstar Military Corporation and Rochester Military Resources Corporation. The two of them are big players, and there are several other small companies that hire our hands. All the troops are gone." Fei Jie shook his head.
"It's Joe and Hughes." Jiang An whispered to Lin Rui, "What do you think?"
"What else can I think?" Lin Rui shook his head, "This time they are pinching our throat."
"If you don't mind, we can recruit another batch of new recruits. If the number is two or three hundred, it's okay. But they are just recruits who have not received any training. And the price is not low. After all, the current market is there. Fei Jie shrugged.
