Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 638 Idealists and Realists

After returning from meeting Afanti in the military camp in Persia, Song Heping woke everyone up at night to hold a meeting.

The company's local mercenary camp is currently on vacation, so their camp commander does not need to attend this meeting.

Moreover, the content of the meeting was quite sensitive, so those from the local mercenary group in Irigo only needed to listen to the mission briefing and understand what they were responsible for before carrying out the operation.

Those who attended the meeting were core company members.

Like Ferrari, Jiang Feng, Hunter, Disaster Star, etc.

As for the Queen and White Bear, according to Song Heping's previous arrangement, they took a long vacation and went back to Russia first.

The opponent we face this time is very powerful and can mobilize many American power organs and intelligence agencies, and can even influence the military.

It is unwise to let everyone stay in Yiligo, which is equivalent to putting all the eggs in one basket and letting others take all the blame.

White Bear and the Queen took a copy of the company's confidential information back to Russia.

The information includes data on Song Heping's bribery of senior US military generals over the years, as well as the foundations to which the funds flowed and the families of the individuals involved.

Song Heping started recording every detail since he first got involved in this world of fame and fortune.

As the company's financial director and manager of daily affairs, Ferrari is of course very clear about this.

But now that the war is imminent, Ferrari cannot leave. When Song Heping leads his men to the front line, he must be responsible for logistical support in the rear.

No one can do logistics better or more thoroughly than Ferrari, he is Xiao He of Song Heping.

In fact, many of the founding members are no longer around.

Like the cook, he had long since left the company and returned to his hometown in Russia.

There is also Gray Wolf. He has had some sequelae since his injury, and his legs still have some impact on his walking, so he stayed in Venezuela to be responsible for the company's special operations school business, and to supervise the arms business there.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when the meeting was held. Song Heping and Ferrari had reached a consensus when they just returned from the oil field.

Anyway, it seems that the oil field contracts and military contracts can no longer be kept. The only interests in Irigo are the security contracts of those pumping stations and the arms business with Yusuf.

But this is not because the opponent is merciful, but because these are just small incomes for the "Musician" defense and have not caught their attention for the time being.

Since there is nothing else to do, why not gather our strength to deal with the I5I5 organization that is taking the blame for the "Presbyterian Church" this time?

Not only do we have to deal with them, but we also have to make a bigger noise.

Everyone in the Middle East must know what the consequences of provoking the defense of the "Musician" are.

Song Heping is very confident in fighting this battle.

The arms business in South America has been initially established and has begun to make profits. The Mexican cartel groups are unifying the market and extracting profits, which can bring Song Heping more than 2 billion US dollars in revenue each year.

Money is a man's courage.

If you have money, you can do things well.

"We have now identified the armed group that attacked our company's convoy and the oil fields."

Song Heping wrote four letters on the small blackboard in the conference room - I5I5.

"This is a new armed group. We've dealt with its predecessor before. You might remember it as the Salafi Brigade. They're now led by a man named Baghdadi, who's pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda, or rather, to the government. But I don't care. If they want a fight, we'll give them one. Now, let me tell you about my tactical plan. The forces we'll be mobilizing this time include all of our local mercenary battalions, as well as a special operations company transferred from Venezuela. The operation will be roughly divided into four days, and our target is Baghdadi..."

That night, the lights in the meeting room of the "Musician" Defense Company in the Green Zone were on from one in the morning until after four o'clock.

Starting from the next day, Ferrari began to carry out the specific work of handing over work with the military and Wood Energy, while Song Heping went to find Yusuf.

Yusuf, who hadn't seen Song Heping for a long time, was very happy to see his old friend, but soon his fat face drooped again and a few traces of worry appeared on his face.

“Brother, I heard you’ve been in trouble recently?”

"Yes, big trouble. I lost all the most important military defense contracts in Irigo."

"so serious?"

Yusuf was shocked.

His interests are tied to Song Heping's.

"Do you need my help? I have some influence in the government. We have people in every department."

"Not yet." Song Heping rejected Yusuf's kindness, but left a small tail: "I will tell you when I need your help. It's best for you not to get involved now." "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother."

Yusuf has one great advantage, which is that he doesn't like to stand out.

He was very clear when asked for help.

He will never take the initiative when you don't need his help.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

"I want to see Samir."

Song Heping said: "After he left my company, there has been no news. The contact information he left before seems to be no longer available. I need to find him for something."

"Samir?!"

When Yusuf mentioned his cousin, his expression became a little strange.

"What's wrong with him?" Song Heping asked hurriedly.

Yusuf said, "He..."

Speaking of this, Yusuf seemed to have no good words to describe him. After thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head and said, "It's hard to describe him in a few words..."

Song Heping knew that there had been a feud between Yusuf and Samir.

Although they are relatives, their political positions and interests are completely conflicting.

Samir is a patriot with a hint of idealism.

Yusuf is a thorough realist who puts interests above all else.

For the country of Irigoe, Samir pursues self-reliance and independence.

In Yusuf's view, who becomes the master of this country has nothing to do with him. What he cares about is his own wallet.

Before Shadamu fell, people like Samir were among the most fierce opponents.

After Shadamu fell, the US military arrived, and the people who resisted most fiercely were people like Samir.

Song Heping asked: "Where is he now?"

"He..." Yusuf said, "He's almost on the coalition's wanted list... I just can't understand my cousin. If he'd just wanted a little stability, he wouldn't have ended up like this. He used to do well in your company, making a ton of money in less than two years. In a place like Irigo, his income would put him at the top of the heap, the top dog! But he refused to work. Not only did he leave your company, he also ran off to Qayara with a group of so-called independence fighters and organized an armed group called 'People's Power'. He mingled with the tribal leaders there and frequently clashed with government forces, leading to several firefights that nearly got me involved."

"What faction does he belong to now? An anti-American organization?" Song Heping asked.

Yusuf shook his head. "That's not the case. Right now, Irige is in chaos. There are many factions: the government army, the coalition forces, the Kurds, and then there are hundreds of chaotic militias. Each one has its own stance, and they all want to govern the country based on their own principles. No one will submit to anyone else..."

At this point, he suddenly sighed: "One idiot fell, and thousands of little idiots stood up. This world is really fucked up!"

Yusuf rarely swore.

But this time he actually cursed.

It can be seen how much he hates this chaotic situation.

"What faction does he belong to?" Song Heping asked.

"Him?! An independent." Yusuf laughed. "They're both anti-American and anti-extremist."

This time it was Song Heping's turn to be happy: "That's great, I quite appreciate this stance."

Yusuf said, "Brother, this ideal is good. Sometimes I wonder, is he wrong? Am I right? I really can't tell. I don't know about other things, but my cousin is too idealistic. Take me for example. Do you think I don't want my country to be independent? Do you think I like to have to deal with the faces of those blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners in the Green Zone? There are no conditions! We can seek independence after we have a certain level of strength. The reality now is that if we leave the Americans, I guess we will be in chaos among ourselves."

"Hahahaha!" Song Heping couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When it comes to being cunning, Yusuf is the one.

"By the way, have you heard of an organization called I5I5?" Song Heping asked.

Hearing this, Yusuf's expression changed slightly: "Why are you asking about this organization?"

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
