There aren't many benefits to being a mercenary, but earning money is certainly one of the most important. Eat rice that licks blood with a knife head. But if you want to make more money, it depends on the level. The mercenaries at the bottom, some of them don't want to give money. Extremely difficult, even give him food to help you fight. This is also a mercenary in a sense.

And in Africa, there are not a few such low-level cannon fodder. Rising from below these bottoms, they armed themselves and formed squads in groups to collect money to help fight or kill. This is a breakthrough. Further, there are those veterans who survived by virtue of their instinct between life and death after continuous combat elimination.

They didn't learn how to fight, no one taught them any tactics. It's just that with many wanderings between life and death, I slowly groped for some doorways. And then walked down the road. Some of them will be recruited into higher-paid mercenary groups, while others will be constantly breaking up, joining new mercenary groups, and breaking up again...... Eventually died. And the next batch was similar to Hou Dasheng's situation when he went to Blood Mountain.

In fact, there are many places where mercenaries are trained. It's just that most of them don't directly list and tell everyone that I'm the place where mercenaries are trained. For example, in the United States, there are a large number of tactical training camps in the civilian sector in the United States. Of course, they are all civilian.

Practitioners and instructors are also retired paramilitary personnel from various professional forces. Quite a few even participated in the war. These training camps, as long as you provide enough funds, they can naturally provide you with tactical training. Not to mention civilians, or aspiring mercenaries.

Even in the police and military, there are many people who go to such training camps for short-term training. Even some training camps will cooperate with the military. Soldiers sent from the army are regularly trained in special tactics.

It is also a form of defense outsourcing. Of course, they only provide some tactical training. It will not directly provide the last layer of actual combat participation like the Blood Mountain. This is also the meaning of the existence of training camps like Blood Mountain, they can quickly eliminate the unsuitable people, leaving at least those who can fight.

Even if they are eliminated, they still have at least some ability to fight back or escape in normal encounters. And those who come out of the blood mountain are different from those low-level mercenaries. They are no longer ordinary cannon fodder, at least relatively high-level cannon fodder.

Some small, small, or medium-sized mercenary groups. It is this kind of mercenary group between 5~50 people, and people like them will be recruited as new blood. In fact, most of these mercenaries will have a connection to the Blood Mountain, and the evaluation given by this type of training camp is very important when they want to absorb new blood.

Jackals are naturally also indispensable to the connection with the blood mountain. However, the cadets who came out of there were either on the periphery or in the second-line corps. Except for Hou Dasheng, an exception.

Within the scope of these types of low-level mercenaries, a mission with more than one million US dollars is considered very good. On a daily basis, it's not bad to have a hundred dollars a day. Don't underestimate this income, they pay much more than the average American's job in the first place. The second and most important point is that there is no tax.

The Wall Street Journal once made statistics that in the United States, the annual pre-tax 10,000 are in the bottom 20%, 5,000 are 9%, 50,000 are in the top 27%, 100,000 are 8%, 200,000 are 2%, and 310,000 are 1%. 50,000 a year is the first 27%! And this is still before taxes, and there is not so much after paying taxes.

The average is 12 months, which means that their monthly income is about 3,000 dollars after tax. Moreover, the way it is calculated is on a family basis. In the United States, most families with an annual income of 50,000 are in fact in a state of subsistence and clothing.

And to become a mercenary, once there is a war, then the income will be more than that. 100 dollars a day is almost the basic income, and if you do a single task, you can basically start with 100,000 dollars. The kind that is calculated by the day, if you are in a hurry to recruit manpower, then there will be three or five hundred dollars or even seven or eight hundred dollars a day.

In addition, in addition to combat missions, there will be bounties. For example, killing the opponent's commander, or defending a strategic point. Then there are definitely rewards. For example, in Grozny, bonuses were given according to the rank of the Russian officer killed. From dozens of dollars to hundreds of dollars.

Once this kind of war is fought, it will basically not end in a month or two. Some last for months or even years. In addition to these, there are also trophies. If you're lucky, you can get something valuable. For example, diamonds, gold, dollar bills...... Wait a minute. If you're unlucky, it might be some bad guns and bullets. From Africa to the Middle East, from the Middle East to South America. There will always be a lot of fighting. Warlords, States, Drug Lords...... and so on, and so on.

At a certain level, and after a few years, they naturally had the opportunity to come into contact with the service station. From the service station, they can buy information, they can buy and deliver arms. You can get a task, and of course you won't get less money.

Through the service station, they can also launder their money and sell their loot. You can also sell the information you have obtained. Over the years, this has formed a complete industrial chain. At the same time, it is a model of transnational, cross-regional, and even tacitly accepted existence by many institutions.

In addition to the mercenary groups at the bottom, of course, large mercenary groups such as jackals were also born. They are no longer limited to small employers. It's even less likely to take on those cheap jobs. For mercenary groups like them, the simplicity of the job is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the price.

Of course, mercenary groups will also be restricted. It's not a good name after all. But what is restricted on the surface is needed by everyone. Thus was born a new type of organization: Private Military Company/Contractor, PMC.

Private military companies/contractors. Everybody will call them as private security companies. This is a formal, legal, and accepted model of employment. They operate in accordance with the law and are only responsible for security, training, and security contracting. But will not be directly involved in the war.

The torii still has to be erected, even if it's just a fig leaf. Even everyone knows that under this fig leaf, private armed action is still accepted. But even the United Nations has no way of refusing such employment.

For example, the people who are now helping to unload cement are from UNHCR. They were going to deliver food and some first-aid medicines to war-torn areas. But there are no peacekeepers in this vicinity. There are chaotic battles of various armed forces everywhere here.

Not to mention war-torn areas, even in areas where the fighting has subsided, United Nations staff are at risk. Every time a peacekeeping force goes on a tour, it also faces risks. If you want to distribute supplies and food, you will inevitably face these things. Under the premise of not being protected by armed forces, those who appear in war-torn areas and carry supplies are flocks of fat sheep.

So they need the protection of the armed forces, and the PMC is one of the few options they can make. And in many cases, the formalities required to use peacekeeping troops are extremely cumbersome. If the danger is too great, no country will be willing to easily expel the peacekeeping force.

"Then let's go now." The volume of cargo carried by the small cargo ship is not large, and four or five trucks are basically loaded. The trucks looked extremely dilapidated, and even those like them took a lot of effort to find. The main thing is that the war here has caused many people to flee.

Almost all the people ran away, and there were few who stayed to drive trucks. What's even more troublesome is that most of the trucks that used to be usable were recruited to be converted into rack-mounted machine guns and pushed onto the battlefield. Only a few remain in the city. Luckily, a few of these staff and volunteers can drive trucks.

The few trucks that were found were barely able to start after tinkering. At this time, gasoline became a problem again. At the level of UNHCR, there is definitely no way to deal with service stations. The buffalo became their middleman. I got a car, and I got gasoline.

If it weren't for the fact that these people really don't have any funds, in fact, food and medicine and even doctors' service stations could have been obtained.

"Tutu ~ woo ~ ~" The car let out a roar, and the whole car shook like words. But in the end, it still jingled and drove slowly towards the outside of the city. There are only a few trucks, but there are still quite a few pickup trucks. A few bits and pieces of goods were loaded, and then the jackals sat in silence on the car.

The staff and volunteers who were responsible for the delivery and distribution of the food were arranged to sit in the car. Originally, there were a few female staff members who wanted to join, but they were pushed back by the buffalo. The Working Group also had a serious dispute with the buffalo over this matter.

The women in the Working Group considered this to be absolutely disrespectful to them. But the buffalo just took out a stack of photos and threw them in front of them, telling them very bluntly: "If you go, you may meet this fate." I can guarantee the safety of men, but your tens of millions will more than triple the risk. Unless you pay a sufficient honorarium, I will never take my brother on the adventure. You can find someone else. ”

Those photos directly made all the women vomit. Inside, there are all photos of various women being humiliated and even disemboweled. After showing them to them, the buffalo didn't hesitate to put away all the photos - because the idiots still wanted to expose them.

To be fair, the buffalo hated what it was doing. Especially with these idiot agencies. A large number of people in it are fools who have never seen the cruelty of war and all kinds of praise for the beauty of human nature. Especially those sentimental Virgins, there are countless of them.

The buffalo never wanted to go into any war-torn area with some idiots, because there have been cases where the PMC went with the Virgin and were ambushed by the armed forces, leaving only three or two people to escape. The mission failed, and a large amount of money was lost. The reason for this is that a certain Virgin wants to go and preach feminism to the chief, who occupies half of the women of the tribe.
