The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Porter was not exaggerating. Ten Thousand Armies had indeed never experienced such a tragic defeat nor huge blow ever since its establishment. More than one thousand and five hundred men had been killed in a single war. What kind of concept was this?!

There might not necessarily be so many people amongst the total number of people in many mercenary organizations, from the top to bottom, including those fighters and those who performed miscellaneous tasks.

The Blackwater Company had led several inadequately trained miscellaneous troops to follow the United States to go to war in the Middle East for so many years, but the number of their casualties had never exceeded more than a hundred people in a single war.

Of course, this also had a lot to do with the powerful firepower of the United States military.

This time, Ten Thousand Armies had lost so many people at one go, and this was indeed very shocking in the field of mercenaries.

Porter had been so confident when he boasted in front

of Cadfan just a moment ago. Therefore, Porter was naturally extremely furious deep inside when he was suddenly hit in the face by such a tragic defeat. 4

He really wanted to drag Zayne in front of him so that he could personally beat him half to death.

However, Zayne was in Syria at this time, and he was completely out of Porter's reach.

Porter could also imagine how Ten Thousand Armies would quickly become the biggest laughingstock in the entire mercenary field after today, and Porter could not even imagine how many people would be making fun of him behind his back.

Besides that, for Ten Thousand Armies, in addition to the loss of numbers and reputation over the death of more than one thousand and five hundred people, there was also a huge amount of pension that would need to be paid by them.

Aside from a small number of soldiers who had already retired, most of the people recruited by The Blackwater Company were street gangsters and thugs from the United States. They would only be able to work as a steward in the country. The Blackwater Company placed this kind of people on the battlefield after they had gone through some simple training, and both the training costs and their salary were not too high. So, relatively, their pension standard would also not be very high.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

However, it was different for Ten Thousand Armies.

Ten Thousand Armies attached great importance to their soldiers' recruitment standards, and they had a very high threshold. Therefore, the actual combat ability of each of the soldiers in Ten Thousand Armies was not any weaker as compared to an active soldier in the United States, and many of them were even stronger as compared to soldiers in elite troops such as the Marine

Corps. 6

Therefore, Ten Thousand Armies' salary was high, and the pension was even higher.

Every one of them put their own lives at risk to perform dangerous tasks, and so, they attached great importance to the pension. This was because they would still be able to leave their families with ample funds so that their families could live well When they died in battle.

In order to strengthen internal unity as well as the loyalty of the soldiers, Ten Thousand Armies' pension level was sixty times the individual's monthly salary.

That was the salary for a full five years.

If a person had a monthly salary of thirty thousand US dollars, his pension would be one million and eight hundred thousand US dollars.

For someone like Zephan, whose monthly salary exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand US dollars, his pension alone would cost ten million US dollars. 4

So, the pension cost for these more than one thousand and five hundred men would already cost more than two billion US dollars. Moreover, there was also a special standard in Ten Thousand Armies' pension system.

This standard pension of sixty times the individual's monthly salary referred to situations where a person died normally in a battle, leaving his whole body to be handed over to his family.

If the soldier's whole body could not be kept intact, the pension would have to pay an additional sum of money for the emotional damage.

After all, the precept of funeral

traditions was basically the same regardless of the country. The burial tradition would naturally require the whole body to be buried, and even if it was for a cremation, it would be best for the whole body to be cremated. So, if there was no whole body, an additional twenty months of the individual's salary would have to be paid. 2
