"This Mr. Holden is right."
When Carl Holden left, it was already half past six in the afternoon. The apartment's living room was filled with the red afterglow of the sky. Sampson Brut, who had been standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking out, finally walked up to Li Mochen.
"Since we've made a move against Blood Hand and Antonio, we definitely can't give them a chance to breathe."
"Great minds think alike. Personally, I think so too."
As Li Mochen spoke, he opened all the documents Carl had sent over. "But Sampson, are you alright on your side? I reckon you've only just finished recruiting, right? It hasn't even been twelve hours. "
"Don't worry about that, boss. The situation is better than I thought."
Sampson Brut sat upright with a solemn expression, his back as straight as a mountain. "Every one of my comrades has held the position of lieutenant or above in the army. Not only do they have enough experience leading teams, they're also qualified instructors. And the people you've chosen this time, boss, have basically all had military experience. Although a large portion of them came from abroad, they're relatively easy to train. Some of the combat teams are already ready to enter the war. "
At this point, Sampson handed a document to Li Mochen apologetically. "I'm very sorry. After learning about the Craig Community Bank Robbery, I slightly raised the recruitment standards. So, the total salary is a bit over the limit. I think right now, boss, you need more powerful and cheap immediate combat power, right? "
"You're the commander of the combat team, so you have this right. But I hope that next time you make such a decision, you can inform me in advance. Of course, the situation this time is an exception. In the afternoon, we couldn't contact each other. "
Li Mochen took a careful look at the document Sampson Brut had provided, and then a strange expression appeared in his eyes. He was sure that this former lieutenant colonel of Red Scorpion didn't have any intention of overstepping his boundaries, and was only doing it out of pure combat considerations.
This was the list of names of the attack team, followed by everyone's resumes, as well as the composition of each team and so on.
First of all, his salary was only 1.7 million gold duns, which was still within his expectations. Secondly, Brut did not arrange the comrades he had brought with him to be the leaders of the various teams as he had imagined. Instead, he gathered six of them together and mixed them with the people he had recruited to form two attack teams that had the strength to fight against the extralegal forces.
Therefore, among Brut's twelve former subordinates, only six of them held the position of team leader. As for the other groups, they would select those with outstanding abilities.
Apart from that, the people he recruited were all powerful people with immediate combat strength. Even though there were slightly more Level-10 Mana Professionals, the allocation of combat power was more reasonable, and the overall strength of the troops could be increased by 20% to 30%.
This made Li Mochen very satisfied, even though he had never doubted Sampson Brut. However, the latter's scrupulous adherence to his duty and dedication to his duty still made him feel happy.
He believed that any leader would like such a subordinate.
Therefore, after reading through the documents, Li Mochen only thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, I was just about to discuss with you about the combat troops. Is it possible to add three more combat teams and one more group outside of the law?"
"Of course I welcome it. It will reduce the pressure we face by a lot. But this way, we will have to hire two extra outsiders, seven Level-10S and four Level-7S. We will have to pay an annual salary of 3.5 million gold duns, as well as equipment. "
Sampson Brut immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing delight. There was no commander in this world who would complain about having too many subordinates.
"Boss, do you have any suitable candidates? If not, I can introduce a comrade to you. This person first served in the Red Scorpion unit, then transferred to the Marine Corps. Not long ago, he retired with the rank of Major. He is a Level-13 Mana Hunter and also a Level-9 Mana Mage. He also has a few powerful subordinates by his side. As far as I know, this person originally planned to bring people to the Middle East as mercenaries, but if you can provide good enough conditions, boss, you can hire him to Atlanta. If possible, who would be willing to leave their homeland? I can guarantee that this person's arrival will bring you a very powerful force that can be used immediately, boss. "
"A retired Major?"
Li Mochen could not help but show a look of interest. "May I know his name? Can you briefly explain his situation? "
Speaking of which, one of the reasons he hired Lieutenant Colonel Brut was because of the latter's connections in the military.
America's National Defense Forces and retired soldiers numbered in the tens of millions. Among them, there were countless mid-level and high-level Mana Professionals. It was almost an inexhaustible treasure trove.
"His name is Thompson Adams, a former recipient of the Navy Cross," Sampson explained.
"He is a very capable guy. He became a Level-13 Mana Professional at the age of 27, and he also has a part-time job that is close to the legal level. After becoming a commander, all his missions have a success rate of more than 87%. I don't know the details of his retirement, but it is said that it is related to the pension. The Navy let his unit carry out a very dangerous mission, and many of his subordinates died because of it. But afterwards, the Navy did not recognize their qualifications as martyrs, believing that their mission was unauthorized. So, Thompson retired in anger. He planned to go to the Middle East to form a mercenary group, and also to earn money to help the survivors. He could have received compensation from his superiors and be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel — "
Li Mochen immediately called Carl. Not long after, he looked at Sampson with surprise in his eyes. "This Major Adams' situation is similar to what you said, Sampson. But Carl found out that when he was in the Red Scorpion unit, he did not have a good relationship with you. There were several conflicts, right? "
"The conflicts between us were because of official duties, not personal grievances. At that time, this comrade of mine was also young and vigorous. "
Sampson didn't seem to care. "The situation now is different from before. I believe that Major Adams and I can cooperate well. This doesn't hurt Major Adams's value."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Li Mochen continued to call the mobile phone. "I will send an employment invitation to Major Adams through the Cardinal Club. I also hope that you can persuade him through personal connections, Sampson. I guess such a person must be very popular?"
So, after hearing about Thompson Adams' great achievements, Li Mochen did not have much hope, even if he could offer a high salary above the standard.
After all, this Mr. Adams did not have a deep hatred for the Dragon Witch Cult like Sampson did. He also did not have a reputation like Zhang Wei, who had a reputation of jinxing his master.
"This person is very popular, yes, but you still have a lot of hope, Boss."
Sampson laughed. "Those aristocratic families won't pay too much attention to him. If it's a gang like Blood Hand, it will be because they don't see eye to eye. So, he has very few choices, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of becoming a mercenary. I will try my best to help you persuade his Boss. "
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
At this time, Li Mochen had already placed the photos in Carl's folder on the dining table one by one.
"Let's talk about the main topic. What should we do next, and where should we target next?"
