Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 636 Emergency Situation
Twelve days later, Baghdad International Airport.

As soon as Song Heping walked out of the immigration hall, Ferrari came towards him.

"How's the situation?"

"The situation is dire," Ferrari shook his head. "Last night's attack resulted in over thirty casualties, and most of our convoy's supplies were destroyed. This was ammunition, food, and other supplies destined for the US military's forward camp in Mosul. The losses are estimated to be over ten million US dollars."

"Ten million……"

Song Heping didn't care much about this loss.

The "Musician" Defense Company currently has extremely abundant cash flow. Mexico alone can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in commission income every month. Ten million is a small matter. Even if the pensions for the local mercenary camp are added, the company will not have any financial problems.

However, the crux of the problem is not here.

"What does Peter say?"

"The military wants to terminate the contract and hand it over to AAFES."

Ferrari said, "Song, this is very strange."

"Tell me." The two men came to the car while talking. More than a dozen mercenaries spread out and occupied various key positions to form a security circle.

After the action in Baguo, Song Heping knew that it was only a matter of time before the Elders' Council would take action against him, so he had been very careful for the past month.

He quickly boarded the bulletproof Lincoln and took a seat in the back row.

Ferrari came in from the other side of the door and sat next to Song Heping.

Jiang Feng sat in the passenger seat.

"The security situation in northwestern Iriga had been improving recently, but for some reason, the resistance suddenly launched an unprecedented attack on our transport convoy last night. Even stranger is that there had been no attacks in the days before and the day after our incident."

"You mean this action is directed against us?"

"I feel like it's very targeted."

"Humph!"

Song Heping sneered, "I knew those people in the Elders' Council wouldn't have the patience to wait three months for the contract to expire before automatically terminating. I've always wondered why they were so patient..."

"There's more to it than that."

Ferrari said, "While you were on the plane last night, something happened at the oil field."

"Something happened?" Song Heping was slightly startled. "What happened at the oil field?"

"It was also attacked," Ferrari said. "Unknown militants used rocket launchers to attack, causing a fire in the oil field. The damage was quite serious."

"grass!"

Song Heping said, "No need to ask, it must be related to the Elders' Council. They want to kill me."

After a pause, he asked again, "Ferrari, have you found out who was responsible for these two incidents?"

"Not yet. We can't rely on the security forces and police in Irigo. Relying on the US military intelligence to investigate probably won't yield any results. If the Council of Elders can influence the military, then we won't get any help and will probably face continued suppression. What I'm most worried about now is..."

At this point, he paused.

Song Heping said: "Just tell me what you are worried about."

"If both Wood Energy and the military cancel our contracts on the grounds that we have failed to fulfill our contractual obligations, we will basically lose all our base in Irigo, and I'm afraid we won't be able to get any business from them in the future."

Ferrari's concerns are unfounded.

Now the military has proposed to terminate the contract.

This means that there will be results from Wood Energy Group soon.

Before Song Heping could finish thinking of a countermeasure, Turner called.

"Song, I have some very unfortunate news to inform you."

"I understand. Your group company wants to terminate the contract with my defense company because of the oil field attack, right?"

"It seems you've already heard the news. Sorry, there's a clause in our contract. If the oil field suffers losses due to your fault, it means you haven't fulfilled your contractual obligations, so you will have to bear the consequences."

Turner seriously brought out the terms of the contract.

"I understand. No problem. Let's terminate the contract, right?" Song Heping sneered. "Your company is really efficient. We were attacked last night, and we already have a solution today. Such an efficient company is rare."

Turner was a little embarrassed and said the same old thing: "Song, you know I'm just an employee..."

"Okay, I know." Song Heping didn't want to say another word to these little shrimps.

Indeed, although Turner is an executive of Wood Energy Group, as he himself said, he is just a senior employee.

The Wood family behind him is the core that controls this group.

None of this has anything to do with him.

Turner himself was just a pawn.

"Thank you for your understanding, and I wish you all the best."

After that, the call was disconnected.

Song Heping said, "Ferrari, is there any progress on Henry's side?"

"Not yet," Ferrari said. "We haven't gotten any valuable clues yet."

Song Heping took a deep breath and suppressed his turbulent emotions.

Now the opponent is like a ghost hiding in the shadows, completely invisible.

I clenched my fists and didn't know where to swing them.

This is the most terrible thing.

However, no one could attack without leaving any flaws. If someone attacked someone from their own company, there would definitely be traces left.

No one dares to touch the Elders' Council, but here in Irigo, there must be someone who knows who did it last night.

As long as we know who did it, we can follow the clues and trace it back to the source to find the culprit.

He suddenly remembered someone.

Maybe this person can help me.

After returning to the company, when everyone thought that Song Heping was going to call a meeting of the company's core personnel, they found that he had gone into his room, closed the door, and had not come out.

At dinner time, Song Heping briefly asked Henry about his intelligence gathering. This time, Henry lost face in front of Song Heping.

The company gave him a generous salary and put him in charge of intelligence.

Now that the company is in trouble, he can't provide any intelligence to formulate a counterattack plan.

Henry felt like he was being paid for nothing.

"I'm sorry, boss, this time..."

"Alright, stop talking. This time, our opponent is no ordinary person. So, increase the reward to $2000 million."

"And increase the amount?"

Henry was shocked.

"Because of this huge reward, I receive a lot of spam every day. There are even scammers who fabricate false information to try to get the reward from me. If it were to be raised to 20 million US dollars..."

"Do as I say." Song Heping's tone left no room for doubt. "You are responsible for verifying the authenticity of the intelligence. This is your job. Increasing the reward is to put pressure on them. We can't let the Elders stab us in the back without worrying about anything and sleep soundly every night. With $2000 million, they must be on guard every day, fearing that their subordinates might be tempted to sell them out."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Henry no longer objected.

Song Heping turned to Ferrari and said, "Ferrari, you'll have to work hard these past few days. The military's contract with Wood Energy has been terminated, and there are a lot of procedures and materials that need to be transferred. You'll be in charge of this. As for the hundreds of people in the local mercenary camp, let them go home for the time being and provide them with a basic monthly salary. Tell them that the company's current situation will improve soon and they'll have something to do soon. Have them come back to the training ground every day to train, and don't let them go."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Ferrari said.

"Ferrari, come out with me after dinner."

"Where?"

"Do not ask."

After dinner, Ferrari drove Song Heping away from the company.

"Towards the oil fields."

"Now?"

"Yes, now, when we get there, tell them we're here to hand over the oil field. Park your car outside the northwest work area of ​​the oil field, and I'll leave on my own."

"Where are you going?"

"A trip to Persia."

"Persia?"

Ferrari suddenly realized that Song Heping was going to meet Afanti.

The oil fields in the northwest of Irigo are close to the border. Song Heping had previously cooperated with the Persians to control this area, destroyed the Free Army supported by the Kurds, and established the pro-Ten Leaves armed organization Madih Army. This is why the oil fields have been very safe before.

Now that someone has taken action here, it is obvious that Afanti and the Madih Army cannot be completely unaware of this. They must have some intelligence that can point to the murderer.

When Song Heping went to meet Afanti, his purpose was to find clues and then formulate a counterattack plan. Whoever was responsible would have to pay the price, and he would also have to provide information about the mastermind behind the scenes.

The biggest problem at the moment is that we can’t find the enemy. It’s like facing a transparent wall of air, and we have no way to exert any force.

To break this shackle, you must find an opponent to fight back against.

Three hours later, the car arrived at the oil field area.

From a distance, several operating areas in the oil field were burning with raging fires, and the black smoke produced was like a long tail, dragging across the sky.

It seems that the damage caused by last night's attack was really serious.

Wood Company was actually willing to pay such a price to immediately draw a line between themselves and themselves. This showed that the power of this Council of Elders was truly immense.

Such a huge energy giant actually has to bow down and do whatever it is told.

Song Heping became more and more interested in this secret society hidden in the dark. He wondered what it would be like if one day he could stand in front of their boss and fight him.

Just like a hunter, the highest honor is always to hunt the most powerful beast in the forest.

Song Heping is now like a hunter.

He was in a passive position at first, but he had to find the beast hiding deep in the forest and hunt it down.

Either you kill the other person, or the other person kills you.

There is no room for compromise between any beasts.

After a pretentious tour around the oil field, Ferrari organized the security personnel according to Song Hepin's arrangements to start sorting out the duty files and checking the security facilities, and preparing the list for handover.

While no one was paying attention, Song Heping quietly left the oil field area, got into the bulletproof Lincoln SUV, and drove towards the desert in the north.

About forty minutes later, as usual, Song Heping parked the car under the sand dunes near the meeting point, looked at his watch, and then found a dark place to hide.

Twenty minutes later, a low-flying helicopter came from a distance and hovered at the meeting point.

Song Heping walked forward, met the visitor with ease, and verified his identity.

He then boarded a helicopter and quickly disappeared into the night sky.

　Asking for a monthly ticket. Asking for a monthly ticket!
