William got off the plane and hugged Barney, then got into the car in the middle with Barney and Christmas. After the convoy set off, Barney pointed at the driver and said, "Boss, this is Captain Antonov of the Polar Bear Squad.
He was the captain of this squad before he retired, and his rank is Lieutenant Colonel. Captain Antonov, this is our boss, William Devonshire. "
Antonov turned and smiled at William. After a second, he stared at the road in front of the car and said in heavily accented English, "Good afternoon, Boss. I'm Antonov, the captain of this operation."
Hearing Antonov's accent, William laughed and said in Polar Bear language, "Hello, Captain. Maybe we should find a chance to have a drink. Your accent might improve."
"Haha, that's a good suggestion. Thank you, Boss." Antonov laughed happily when he saw that William was easy to talk to.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Captain, are you satisfied with the equipment?"
Antonov nodded and said, "Yes, very satisfied. Some of the equipment is more advanced than what we've used before."
"Very good," William said to Barney, "Have you found Solomon Fandi?"
"I'm sorry, Boss. We didn't have enough time, so we haven't found him yet. However, we spent some money to find a leader in Sierra Leone. He gave us special self-defense rights and a secret base outside Freetown. As long as we don't attack the Sierra Leone government, we can do whatever we want here."
"What?" William looked at Barney in shock.
Barney pursed his lips and said, "You know, Boss. There are some places where you can do anything with money. Of course, we'll only do things related to the mission."
William looked at Antonov and said worriedly, "Captain Antonov, I hope you can restrain your team members. Don't make me order you to execute military law."
"Don't worry, Boss. We were a regular team before. This time, we're all people who have families to support. We're here to make money, not to abuse ordinary people. We only care about money."
Hearing this, William chuckled. Barney and the church laughed as well. Antonio asked, "Sorry, is there a problem with what I said?"
Christmas, who was sitting beside Antonio, said, "Antonio, my friend, you shouldn't be worried about money. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem for the boss.
What you should be worried about is whether or not there's a quest. If you win, you'll all get two million, and it'll be sent directly to your families. You won't have to send it back. "
When he heard that money wasn't a problem, a happy smile appeared on Antonio's serious face. "Alright, my bad. Sorry."
After joking around, Barney said, "The three Hind Mi-24 will arrive in about ten hours. Although each helicopter has a set of parts, we lack a maintenance base.
The base outside of Freetown can only perform some simple maintenance to ensure that the helicopter can be deployed. However, if it is not thoroughly repaired after each deployment, the helicopter may be scrapped if it is deployed too many times. Boss, we need to find a place that can be repaired. "
"No, I only care about the condition of the helicopter the first few times. I don't care what happens to the three Mi-24 after the mission. I'll even give it to anyone who wants it."
Antonio said in surprise, "God, that was bought with fifteen million dollars. Boss, don't you want to reconsider such a large sum of money?"
William shook his head and said, "It's useless for me to keep it. I don't have any property in Africa to protect. I'm not interested in minerals, oil, or natural resources.
These things have been monopolized by various countries and companies. If I join now, it will take too much effort and time. Compared to other industries, the results are too low. Barney, do you have any ideas about the Hind? "
Barney shook his head quickly. "No, boss. I don't want to be invited back for coffee by the Special Task Force. We're mercenaries, not regular soldiers. The problems we'll encounter won't be that big."
"Okay." William knew that Barney and the others had never encountered a large mission. They had always taken on small surprise missions that were suitable for them.
"Antonio, what about you? After the mission is over, will you stay in Africa or take the money home? Have you thought about officially establishing the Polar Bear Mercenary Group? I'll use these weapons and equipment to buy shares. How about that? "
Antonio thought for a moment and said, "Sorry, boss. After the mission is over, I'll definitely take the money home. Forty thousand dollars plus a job back home is enough for my family to live a good life. As for the other members, I don't think it's very likely that they'll stay.
The average age of the people who came this time is 30 years old. 70% of them have wives and children. If it weren't for the fact that life is so difficult, we wouldn't have come here to fight. So, sorry, boss. "
"Well, it seems that I can only sell it to Yuri at a low price. Hopefully, I can sell it at half price to offset the loss of the Sierra Leone leaders."
"Haha." Hearing William's words, Barney and the other two laughed. It was easy to follow a boss who didn't care about money. After laughing, Barney shook his head and said,
"Boss, I don't think we need that much money. We only spent two million dollars to get the special self-defense rights. Seven and a half million dollars is enough for us to come to this country three times."
Looking at Sierra Leone's dilapidated capital, Freetown, William said, "Once is enough. I won't come to this godforsaken place a second time."
The three of them looked out of the car and agreed with William's words. Even Antonio, who was so poor that he almost couldn't afford to eat, felt that this country was hell. He sighed and said, "I always thought that we were poor enough. I didn't expect this country to be so rotten."
Thinking about the situation in Sierra Leone and Antonio's words, they lost interest in chatting.
The convoy drove to the only four-star hotel by the sea in Freetown. The convoy did not stop at the hotel's entrance. Instead, they passed by the hotel's entrance and turned into the hotel's metal gate. Barney and the others had booked a three-story building behind the hotel with more than sixty rooms.
As they passed by the hotel's entrance, William, who was staring at the hotel's entrance, suddenly saw a bald, dark-skinned man in a white shirt and dark red vest carrying luggage for a guest.
After seeing the dark-skinned man's face, William patted Antonio's seat and said, "Stop the car in front, Antonio."
Antonio picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the rest of the convoy, "Stop the car in front. I repeat, stop the car in front."
Soon, the convoy stopped in front of the hotel's side door. William looked at the dark-skinned man carefully and said to Christmas, "Christmas, get out of the car and find that guy with the last car. I want to see him."
William pointed at the dark-skinned man standing at the hotel's entrance.
"Understood." Christmas did not ask why William wanted to see the dark-skinned man. He took the walkie-talkie from Barney and got out of the car.
After Christmas got out of the car, the convoy started again and drove to the building.
