Chapter 3201
Hamed initially did not know about the modality for the collaboration between Ten Thousand Armies and the government.
He had originally thought that the government had paid to hire Ten Thousand Armies. However, after putting some thoughts into this matter, Hamed constantly felt that something was not quite right. This was because the government's biggest problem had always been their shortage of funds. Even their own soldiers lacked medication, guns, and ammunition. So, how could they possibly have enough money to hire mercenaries from Ten Thousand Armies?
It was just yesterday that he had received news that the terms of the collaboration between Ten Thousand Armies and the government were that if Ten Thousand Armies were to help the government eliminate the opposition forces completely, the government would then allocate a piece of land with a n area of one hundred square kilometers to Ten Thousand Armies so that they could build their first mercenary base in the Middle East. However, Hamed did not expect that Charlie, who was far away in Oskia, would actually also know about this matter. So, Hamed was amazed by Charlie's
information channels.
Charlie did not expect that Hamed, who had already fought two rounds of battles with Ten Thousand
Armies, would only find out about this news yesterday. 2
This also meant that this news was still relatively confidential.
If Cadfan knew about such confidential information, this further confirmed Charlie's suspicion that Cadfan had some sort of connection with Ten Thousand Armies.
So, Charlie then said to Hamed, "I suspect that Ten Thousand Armies is related to an enemy of mine in Oskia. Moreover, my enemy in Oskia was the one who leaked this specific detail of the collaboration between Ten Thousand Armies and the government."
Hamed blurted out, "Brother, in that case, Ten Thousand Armies will also pose a certain threat to you!"
"Yes!" Charlie nodded and said, "The most important point is that I do not know much about Ten Thousand Armies either. So, I'm not too sure about their specific situation. Therefore, I do not know how much of a danger or threat Ten Thousand Armies could be to me."This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Hamed waved his hand and said,
"Brother, I think that you do not need to worry about this matter. Oskia has always had the nickname as the mercenaries' grave. It is because the law and order in Oskia are simply too good. Under these kinds of circumstances, it will simply be impossible for the overseas mercenaries to even bring guns into your country. So, they are definitely no match for you, Brother."
Charlie replied indifferently, "You will not be defeated in any battle if you know your enemy and yourself. The most passive thing about me right now
is my lack of understanding of Ten Thousand Armies. Moreover, I do not know how closely that enemy of mine is related to Ten Thousand Armies." 3
Hamed then said, "Brother, let me
tell you what I know so far. Ten Thousand Armies was established in South America some years ago. They are currently focusing on the Middle East and Africa at this time. Amongst them, their market in the Middle East is the largest. Almost all of the Middle Eastern countries that you can think of, including Israel, would have some form o f collaboration with mercenaries. So, that is the reason why Ten Thousand Armies really wants to establish its roots in the Middle East."
As he spoke, Hamed then said, "The biggest problem faced by most mercenary organizations is their lack of heavy weaponry. Even Blackwater Company from the United States would only arm their mercenaries with ordinary light weapons. When they came to the Middle East to work together with the United States Army, almost all of the armored vehicles and armed helicopters that they drove were all owned by the United States Army. If they were to leave the United States Army, the best equipment that they would get in the Middle East is a Toyota pickup with a machine gun attached to its body." i
"Ten Thousand Armies is also the same in this regard."
"Although they do have some heavy equipment in South America, it is said that they only have a small number of armored personnel carriers and some old Russian-made helicopters. So, if they want to dispatch all these equipment globally, they would only be able to use ocean shipping to do so."
"However, there is also another problem with ocean shipping. All the ocean shipping companies all over the world would have to abide by a basic convention, and that is that they are not allowed to carry any nongovernment armed weaponry and equipment.
Moreover, all ports in any country would never allow any non government armed weaponry and equipment to be loaded or unloaded from the port." 2 "So, it's basically impossible for them to get their equipment from South America to the Middle East." 1
When Charlie heard this, he spoke up, "That is the reason why they want to establish a base of their own in the Middle East. After that, they will then find a way to get some heavy weaponry and equipment here to arm themselves, right?"
"Yes!" Hamed nodded and said seriously, "There is perennial war in the Middle East, and it is in itself a paradise for mercenaries. Although I do not know much about the annual global production output of the mercenary industry, at least sixty percent of it is
focused in the Middle East."
