Firepower is king.

Chapter 309 Joint Action
It can be seen that the relationship between Saxon and Malcolm does not seem to be harmonious, and there are faint signs of turning their faces.

The office is Zhengzhi, if the conflict between the two highest-ranking people in this factory becomes irreconcilable, then... well, Gao Guang doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

But Gao Guang couldn't come up and directly ask Saxon what happened, because although he and Saxon got along very well, after all, they haven't reached the point where they can talk about everything.

This journey is about [-] kilometers, the road conditions are not bad, but the speed is not too high, it takes nearly ten hours to walk, Saxon seems to be a little worried along the way, he chats with Gao Guang and the others occasionally, But most of the time is spent in silence.

Gao Guang wanted to find out the inside story, but seeing Saxon's appearance, he had no choice but to give up the idea. If Saxon wanted to tell him something inside, he would say it himself. If Saxon didn't mention it but insisted on asking, it would seem not very sensible.

After pulling in Saxon, it turned out that Gao Guang and the others couldn't chat casually. This was unexpected, but everyone got in the car, so don't say anything, just concentrate on driving.

It was nearly twelve o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Johannesburg.

Johannesburg is also a big city. For those who have been in the factory for three months, even though they arrived in the middle of the night, they can still feel the unique charm of big cities, especially Gao Guang. The idea of ​​being in town again.

Several people became excited, and then Gao Guang really wanted to stay in Johannesburg for a day or two, so he still couldn't help but asked Saxon, "How long will we stay here?"

Saxon said without hesitation: "If everything goes well, we will set off tomorrow morning."

A little bit of expectation in my heart was shattered immediately, Gao Guang had nothing to say, but Mike couldn't hide his disappointment, and sighed: "Is it so urgent? It's good to stay for half a day, I'd rather not do anything, just It's good to walk around the street."

Saxon whispered: "It's better not to, Johannesburg is very dangerous now, we'd better go back early."

Looking out of the car window, everything seems to be calm, there is no curfew, and there is no sense of depression before a storm is approaching. Although there are no people on the streets in the middle of the night, everything in this city looks normal.

It's not easy for Gao Guang to ask, but Mike has always been outspoken, so he can ask.

"Hey Saxon, can you tell me what's going on? Now we know for sure that something big is going to happen, but what is it?"

Saxon hesitated for a while, and finally he whispered: "Sorry, I can't say it yet."

Mike smiled wryly: "Well, it's fine if you can't say it, but when it's time to say it, can you tell me as soon as possible?"

Saxon exhaled and said with a smile: "This is no problem, I will definitely tell you."

Saxon stopped talking again, and Francisco, who was driving, just followed the navigation and drove.

It might be dangerous on the way back, but right now, before the cargo is escorted, there shouldn't be any problems, so don't be too nervous.

The destination is the headquarters of Eric Mining Company, which is located in the southern district of Johannesburg, where there are many heavy industrial factories. However, although the headquarters of Eric Company is located in the industrial area, it does not have any industrial facilities at all, but it is more like a sales company.

A seven-story building is the core building of the head office. There is no factory building, but the head office occupies a large area, with very high walls, and the large yard is full of green plants and lawns, which looks like a garden. More like a factory.

It stands to reason that the sales company should be in the commercial area, but I don't know why it is in the industrial area of ​​Johannesburg, sandwiched between a lot of factories.

Gao Guang and the others stopped in an open space in front of the office building, and then they found that several cars had already parked in the open space, and then there were at least eight people, all armed and guarding next to an escort vehicle.

A heavy-duty escort vehicle, that is, the kind that is full of protection and is a quick cash transport vehicle, and then there are heavily armed guards with guns next to the escort vehicle.

"Is there gold in the car? Don't we just want to escort this car?"

Saxon didn't get out of the car, he looked outside and said, "I don't know yet, wait for the news."

Saxon didn't give a clear answer. Gao Guang looked back through the car window and saw Malcolm got out of his car and walked towards the office building with a gloomy face.

Seeing Malcolm get out of the car, Saxon said in a low voice: "You guys wait in the car, I will let you know if there is any news."

Mike said anxiously: "Hey, buddy, I want to go to the bathroom, can I always get off the car?"

Mike is smart. He said this just to test where the limits of action are tonight. If you can’t even go to the toilet, it means that the security here is extremely strict. But if you are in the car, you can’t eat and drink You can get off the car from the toilet, which means that the security is not so strict.

Saxon hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Let's wait for my news. I have to go and check the situation first, and I'll tell you if there are any arrangements."

Saxon got out of the car, followed quickly, and finally followed Malcolm into the building just after entering the building.

Seeing Saxon walk away, Francisco finally said: "I don't like the current situation. We have been deliberately concealing a lot of things."

Gao Guang said helplessly: "It's five hundred thousand a month. So far, what we have to do has not exceeded the normal scope of responsibilities."

Mike whispered: "What if it's beyond the scope of our work? For example, we have to escort a lot of gold, worth hundreds of millions, and then we encounter..."

"To shut up!"

"Don't say it!"

"Mike shut up!"

Gao Guang and Francisco stopped in unison, and then John on the walkie-talkie also hurriedly stopped, because there are some things that cannot be said, and if you don’t say it, you may not say it. Once you say it, it really happened.

If you are engaged in such a high-risk occupation as PMC, how can you do it if you don’t pay attention to it? There are many taboo things and words, such as whether you will be attacked or not, you must never say it.

It can be guarded against, and it can be regarded as a situation that must be guarded against, but it must not be mentioned indiscriminately while chatting on the road.

Mike bar smacked his lips, and then he spread his hands and said, "You know what I mean, if you really meet, what should you do?"

"What else can we do, follow the rules." Gao Guang said slowly: "If you can beat it, you can fight it; If you can’t negotiate, then you have to drop things and break through.”

It sounds like negotiation, but it is actually surrender.

But don't say that Gao Guang is cowardly, because the rules of PMC are like this, even the official employees of Zhanhuo Group also act according to this principle.

Pmc is a job, and it’s just a job. It costs a few thousand a month, and if it’s more than [-] dollars, you want to make people work hard, and you will fight to the death in any situation. Isn’t that a dream?

When the maritime security guards escorting the Gulf of Aden encounter pirates, as long as they feel that the pirates are too powerful, those maritime security guards can decide whether to give up resistance at any time.

It's the same on land, if you think it's too dangerous, run away, let alone the company can't stop it, even if it can stop it, the company won't be so stupid as to force people to die.

And of course the same is true for the king's defense. A salary of [-] yuan a month is indeed quite a lot, but it is only a bit higher than the normal level. As long as Gao Guang and the others can afford this salary, it is impossible to do it for this month. Tens of thousands of dollars, it may cost you even if you die.

There are many desperadoes in this world, but they are all lucky. This is like giving someone [-] million cash on the condition that he immediately do something that will definitely kill him. If it falls into the hands of family members, there are still a few people who are willing to die.

But if you give five million, there is only a [-]% chance that you will die immediately, so there will be more people willing to do this.

If one million can be given, and there is a [-]% probability of death, then there will be a lot of people willing to do this job.

High-risk, high-yield, taking risks to earn a lot of money, but knowing that it is a job that will kill you, if you are stupid, what can you do if you lose this job? What price would be greater than death? PMC is like this, and now Gao Guang and they are too In this way, this is a very normal rule, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Mike was relieved, but he was half curious, half worried: "Then under what circumstances is it reasonable for us to give up the mission?"

Gao Guang said seriously: "It's fine if I think it's dangerous to a certain extent, so it depends on my professional ethics, right? Bottle cap."

John immediately said on the intercom: "That's right, only the boss can decide, Mike, we only have the right to make suggestions, but we can't escape by ourselves. If we escape by ourselves, we will be deserters, and there is nothing wrong with being shot."

Mike said angrily: "Why are you telling me this, am I the kind of person who will run away!"

"Just to remind you, you are the only one who doesn't understand the rules here."

Mike continued angrily: "Got it! I won't be a deserter, bah, don't remind me."

There was cheerful laughter on the intercom, and then Gao Guang saw Saxon coming out of the building alone, so he whispered: "Okay, don't talk about this topic anymore, Saxon is here."

When Saxon came out, he saw that his footsteps were much lighter. He walked to the side of the car and waved to the people in the car: "Guys, does anyone want to go to the toilet?"

Gao Guang pushed open the car door, got out of the car, first stretched his waist, and then said to Saxon: "I'm hungry, do you have food, and can you tell me what's going on now?"

Saxon was very happy. He whispered: "Tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning, we will escort a batch of gold back to the factory. The gold has not been delivered yet. Hurry up and do whatever you need to do."

Gao Guang lowered his voice and said: "Saxon, do you know our agreement? We are responsible for protecting the safety of the factory and the gold in the factory. If necessary, we will also participate in escorting the gold from the factory to Johannesburg, but if Escorting gold from Johannesburg back to the factory is not within the scope of our agreement."

Saxon nodded and said, "The current situation is not beyond the scope of the agreement."

"Strictly speaking, buddy, I didn't mean to strictly follow the words and terms of the contract, but you have to tell us the value of this batch of gold. If the value is too large and there are only a few of us escorting it, then I can really Rejection, we have to have the spirit of contract, first of all we have the right to know, and second, you can't add work content to us at will, right?"

Saxon smiled, and then he lowered his voice and said: "This time, an environment worth [-] million U.S. dollars will be sent to our factory, including four tons of gold bricks and nearly six tons of gold sand, but don't worry, there will be at least Six teams, escorted by almost two hundred people, so much gold, how could it be possible to only let you escort it."

After finishing speaking, Saxon pouted towards the escort vehicle, and said: "Look at that vehicle, the gold here has not been loaded into the vehicle, and they will wait for the gold from other places to arrive and then transport it together. Don't worry, nothing will happen." Yes, oh yes, there are also your colleagues from the Zhanhuo Group, and they will also participate in the exchange."

The risk is high, but there are also many more escorts, so speaking of it, it is acceptable.

Gao Guang doesn’t care much about whether there are other teams of Zhanhuo Group, he is not familiar with them anyway, what Gao Guang cares about is why so much gold is sent to the factory he protects, and why so much gold is under his protection How long will it be stored in the factory?

Gao Guang thought for a while, and said, "There are a lot of escorts, and the risks on the road are acceptable, but what about after sending them to the factory?"

Saxon said without hesitation: "Many people will stay and protect the factory with you. Of course, you can't just let you bear the risk. Don't worry, you are afraid of accidents, and we are even more afraid of accidents."

This is true, but the Eric Company does not care about their lives, but also cares about the safety of the gold, so there should be nothing to worry about in terms of safety.

It’s just that the previous easy life doesn’t know whether it can continue. Gao Guang thought for a while, and then he whispered: “I have one more question, the last question, I don’t know why your company wants to store all the gold in a centralized place, and I don’t want to Inquiring about that, but I wonder if anyone has any idea of ​​the gold right now."

Saxon shook his head and said: "This question is a bit out of bounds, buddy, this is not what you should ask."

"Then let me ask this question differently. On the way back, how likely is it that we will be attacked? This is related to the safety of our lives, and of course the safety of gold. I should ask this."

Saxon thought for a long time, and then he smiled and said: "No! Absolutely not. First of all, our itinerary is confidential, and there is a joint operation. With so many escorts, how dare that bastard rob our convoy? So It'll be fine, don't worry."
