Twenty percent above the standard for mercenaries - this doesn't seem like much, but the standard of mercenaries is actually one hundred and fifty percent higher than the standard for the Wehrmacht.

In addition, the staff of Shenwei Security also have pensions, life insurance, housing subsidies and other benefits, which are not available to mercenaries.

The major mercenary groups, including Thunder Hammer, were also very satisfied, although Zhang Xin did not directly increase the bonus by fifty percent like the previous Leizhou Galaxy Pirate Annihilation War, nor did he personally go to offer condolences or anything. But the mighty shipbuilding company bought all the loot this time, including warships, mechas, and other weapons, at an extremely good price.

According to the "Pirate Security War Act" formulated by the Earth Federal Government, they are eligible to take a large share of the money according to the proportion of ships and the coefficient of combat merit.

After all, with the 112 well-preserved battleships and 79 space aircraft carriers alone, the Majestic Shipbuilding Company has issued a total of 1.4 billion federal coins.

That's already a great price, and no one will be able to offer more. If there is, then this person must want to do a loss-making business.

In addition, according to the "Yingzhou Logistics Security Subsidy Act" signed by His Excellency, they can also receive a 15% mission subsidy, as well as a bonus of 20% of the value of all sunken warships.

This also means that in this battle, all mercenary groups participating in the mission can harvest more than 100 million gains.

The income of the Thunder Hammer Mercenary Group reached more than 400 million.

After about thirteen hours, the follow-up work on the battlefield was finally completed.

A standard detachment from the Guangcheng Star Defense Force has finally arrived and taken over all the pirate prisoners here.

This is because the Yingzhou Star Domain Government, believing that both the police force and prison resources are seriously insufficient, asked for the support of the federal government after the war.

-- Managing the eating, drinking, and Lazar of more than 300,000 people is not a simple matter. What's even more troublesome is that among them, there are 120,000 pirates above D-level strength, and they must be guarded by a large number of powerful prison guards.

And to try them one by one, it will also require a large number of judges and police forces.

This is no longer the Dark Ages, when pirates were directly hanged.

But today, anyone who does such a cruel thing will be criticized by the media and critics from all sides.

Then, after hours of arguing and kicking the ball from all sides, the president finally issued a directive ordering the defense forces and the judicial system in the Guangcheng Star Domain to take over the troublesome matter. The federal government gave the Guangcheng Star Domain government two billion federal dollars as a subsidy.

But in fact, Guangcheng Star Domain still has some losses, which has to rely on the resources of the Weiyan Group, after all, it is the latter that caused it. If you don't pay at all, you can't justify it.

"—Cheryl, help me tell the mercenary groups, they still have a moment to deal with their affairs. A moment later, the whole fleet entered the curvature on time! This was an ultimatum, and if they failed to accompany them, then we would treat it as a breach of contract. You have to know that the Governor of the Yingzhou Star Domain and the Speakers of the Senate and House of Representatives have been waiting for me for nearly ten hours at the second spaceship port on Phoenix Star. ”

In the luxurious palace of the Shenwei, Zhang Xin's brows were tightened after ending his communication with Cheryl, and there was a slight look of helplessness in his eyes.

The combat power of these mercenary groups is undoubted, but the shortcomings are also huge. For example, this time, seven of the twelve mercenary groups hired by the Weiyan Group had internal conflicts over the distribution of spoils and profits.

And the reason why they stayed here for thirteen hours this time, and they have not been able to move until now, is of course because those pirate captives have no one to take over, but the personnel of these mercenary groups are still in those shipwrecks and scrapped mechas, searching for everything that can be sold for money. This also directly led to the warships of the major mercenary groups being unable to enter the state of being fully manned.

As far as Zhang Xin knows, this is actually the norm for most mercenary groups.

According to federal regulations, any form of mercenary group can only operate as a partnership system, and the rules and regulations are far less stringent than those of regular logistics companies and security companies, which directly leads to the overall discipline of mercenary groups.

Zhang Xin guessed that most of this was deliberately done by the upper echelons of the Federation and the big lords of the family to avoid this kind of military group.

Whatever the reason, however, it is certain that the mercenary group is not of great use.

He really didn't want to imagine what it would be like if an enemy fleet appeared here at this time.

It is possible that the enemy only needs less than 2,000 warships to reduce their combined fleet to wreckage.

Therefore, in the long run, if the Weiyan Group wants to continue to stabilize its sphere of influence in Yingzhou, it must strengthen the Weiyan Group's own force as much as possible.

The mercenary group can be used as a wing, but it cannot be a real reliance.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xin couldn't help but shake his head, and looked at Lin Dan who was having lunch with him opposite: "Are you still angry?

Lin Dan simply put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked depressed: "I came here to find Brother Changzhi for revenge, not to be treated as a child to be protected." ”

In the previous battle, he actually participated in it, but he was placed in a corner of the edge that was a long distance away from the main breakthrough direction of the pirate mecha assault group.

The reputation is to balance the defense, let him be on his own, sitting on the side. From the very beginning of the mecha battle, he realized that with Cheryl Weilun's tactical level, how could he not discern the main breakthrough direction of the opponent?

In this battle, although he also had a record of shooting down 29 mechs with long-range artillery, he was not able to join the battle between the S-ranks.

"It's not that you are a child to be protected, but that you don't have a suitable mecha at all. Although it's S-, I'm afraid I can't even play the strength of the super A-level now,"

Zhang Xin nibbled on the apple with a calm expression: "In addition, as far as I know, your genetic martial arts and telekinesis are very good. The combat techniques that can be mastered are actually very limited. Especially in the mecha war, I remember that your score in Zhao's Public School seemed to be 35 points, and after that, at the Federal National University, it didn't seem to be deliberately improving, let alone entering the entrepreneurial period after that. Lin Dan, are you sure that you can now compete with the real S-, not a burden to our side?"

Zhao's Public School is not a military school, you can learn certain military skills, and it is also one of the necessary aristocratic education. Every year, a month is set aside for military training.

Lin Dan was dumbfounded for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "I will spend three months to familiarize myself with martial arts and telekinesis, I hope that at that time, Brother Changzhi, you can give me a chance." ”

"If you're strong enough, it's fine. Don't worry, I'll also take some time out of my mind to fine-tune your abilities in this area—"

This sentence made Lin Dan obviously a little confused, but before he could ask questions, Zhang Xin was distracted to the personal terminal interface again.

At this time, two more communication signals appeared in front of his eyes.
