(PS: Damn, this chapter is so tiring. Who knows what a private military contractor’s business organization would look like? I couldn’t find any information at all. I relied on my own design. I lost a lot of brain cells!)

After despising Sean's behavior in Versailles, everyone brought the topic back.

What is a professional private military contractor?

Sean himself doesn’t have much idea. All he knows is to take jobs from the military and then fight!

But he knew very little about how the US military fought wars. After all, he was just a shabby squad leader when he retired.

Fortunately, there is now an army general and a defense minister by his side to give advice.

Little John used the famous Vietnam War as an example. He was in Vietnam at the time and was a witness.

Explain the entire war process to Sean, starting from high-level planning.

At the end of April 1961, Ledi decided to increase military advisers to Vietnam and dispatch the first batch of U.S. special forces, ordering an intensified secret war. On May 14, he ordered the dispatch of 400 U.S. "special operations forces" and 100 military advisers into Vietnam. south.

The so-called secret operations meant gathering intelligence with their own hands. They did not believe the intelligence of Wu Dinh Diem and his men.

These intelligence officers are also armed personnel, all special forces. They need to understand the terrain, landforms, hydrology, weather and other natural environments of the team's mission area, record and map them and then send them back to the United States.

In addition to natural conditions, you also need to understand the local armed situation, the number of armed personnel, their proficiency in combat skills, their equipment, etc.

The US military attaches great importance to intelligence collection, especially after the defeat of Korea.

All aspects of intelligence must be personally explored and then summarized to determine what tactics to use, what equipment to use, how to equip logistical supplies, drug selection, and other issues.

During this period, the U.S. military had only one forward base in Vietnam.

It was not until October that the U.S. military began bombing operations to support the South Vietnamese army's operations.

Later, special operations forces cooperated with military advisors to support pro-American forces in carrying out coups and local armed forces. By 1964, U.S. special forces had established a total of 18 civilian guerrilla self-defense force surveillance camps. By 1965, they had equipped nearly 20,000 civilian guerrilla self-defense force personnel.

At this point, Little John looked at Sean with a smile and said: "Actually, what I said above can be completed by the umbrella, and the effect may not be worse than what the military does. On the contrary, in my opinion, the private military Because contractors do not need to bear some of the military's restrictions, they can act more freely and achieve better results."

"This is what military contractors should do, in-depth cooperation with the military, rather than your current situation of acting alone, completely separated from the military."

Sean nodded heavily after hearing this. Now that he has formed a protective umbrella, he realizes that the US military's combat capabilities are indeed very powerful and are second to none in the world. However, their combat capabilities have been greatly weakened by the 'US military' system.

Or the American political system!

In terms of the logistics of the Beibangzi War, the US military was tired of eating beef. They had to eat hot meals every day in the ice and snow, and the officers needed coffee and black tea.

Let them get used to it!

This greatly weakened the US military's will to fight!

The logistics requirements are too high and unreasonable at all. In theory, senior military officials in the US military should be opposed to it. At least if you put it in the east, they will slap you to death and give you coffee!

However, the actual situation is that such high standards are required by the logistics side. The higher the logistics standards, the more supporting factories!

Whether you have connections or lobbying, a large number of food processing factories, quilt factories, clothing factories, and transportation companies that exclusively supplied the US military during the war all made a fortune!

This is capitalism, this is America, war is about making money, and everyone makes money together.

There is also the issue of casualties.

Don’t the commanders of the US military understand what ‘fighting will’ and ‘fighting to the death’ mean?

Very understanding!

However, there cannot be large casualties. Once the casualties are too large, the opposition parties will jump out to criticize and call for anti-war, and there will be demonstrations and strikes in the country.

The pressure on the ruling party will be unprecedentedly high. For the sake of votes, the two powers will harm each other, whichever is less. It is better to abandon the will to fight.

In the end, everything depends on bombing and throwing money at it!

But these retired soldiers look completely different in Sean's hands.

Logistics support?

Still drinking coffee?

Damn it, uncle, Sean can’t kill them, so you’re taking my money as money, right?

Umbrella The logistical support for ordinary soldiers is to have enough food, and that is enough.

Overseas combat, a monthly salary of US$3,000, and you can quit if you don't want to do it, which is what retired US military soldiers do.

Not determined to fight?

Why don't you give me a try!

Don't say surrender, retreat without orders, and shoot on the spot!

During the previous attack on Laayoune, many M60s and armored vehicles were blown up in street battles against the Moroccan anti-tank missiles. It was the heaviest loss since its founding. But when the military order was issued, no one dared to take a step back and talk about rushing.

You have to rush.

Therefore, Sean understood what Little John said as soon as he heard it.

"Has the military already expressed interest in this aspect?" Sean asked with a smile.

"It's not interesting, but it is being implemented, mainly in South America and the Caribbean. Some small-scale military operations are outsourced to MPRI. So far, both parties are very satisfied. MPRI has made money and the military has reduced

A lot of trouble, everyone happy.”

Sean's mouth twitched. MPRI was founded by General Lewis, a retired general from the US Army. There is a shadow of the DuPont family behind it. Yes, it is modeled after Rockefeller.

"How many of them are there?"

"More than 2,000, almost all of them are army troops, with a small number of armed helicopters, but no navy."

"Don't worry about anything. In Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, if you want, MPRI can't overtake you. You have enough first-mover advantage. The umbrella guided missile destroyer formation can carry out many medium-sized and even large-scale missions. This is MPRI

Or any other emerging military contractor is absolutely unmatched, Umbrella has a monopoly on the market." Little John smiled and gestured with a thumb, "Oh, by the way, there is also a short-range ballistic missile formation, which is great."

Sean leaned back tactically, and (ˉ▽￣~) made a cut~~ sound.

It’s just that the Navy is too expensive.

"Okay, I received your compliment. Tell me what kind of tasks you can take on. I'll listen."

"Let's talk about the nearest one." Little John stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then continued: "The US military is going to build a new naval base and an air force base in Morocco. This

You did a beautiful job, and the old guys in the military are very happy."

Sean smiled and nodded. He also thought it was very beautiful. Originally, he planned to have only one naval base.

"Bases don't just exist. It takes a long time to build a US military base, and the construction team is also a cooperative unit of the military, you know."

"This process requires a lot of manpower to carry out security and defense work to prevent enemy destruction and exploration. This requires 24-hour vigilance. The scope is so large, at least 300 people."

"This manpower can be from the military, or it can be outsourced. Fortunately, you have a lot of people here. As for the price, 2 million per month is a very reasonable number."

Sean thought about it for a moment. With 300 people, excluding wages and logistics support, there is still half of the profit. The logistics cost of the umbrella is very low, with an average of 300 US dollars per person per month. It is just a garrison mission without any danger.

Can the salary be lowered for this kind of non-hazardous task?

Like half?

Sean couldn't help but rub his chin. What is capitalist behavior?

If the military sends its own personnel, 3 million per month may not be enough...

It's public!

"Done!" Sean asked with a smile: "Is there anything more?"

"More!" Little John laughed: "For example, here in Syria, the security work of the embassy and military and government personnel, the Kurds, you know, branches are in YLK, YL, Syria, the border areas of the four countries of Turkey, the military

The government has always been in contact with them and supports the independence movement at any time. There are many short-term tasks.”

"Military intelligence missions in YLS and YL, some material escort missions in Yemen and Afghanistan, training and force support for the opposition in Libya, etc., there are too many."

"For the military, such small tasks are cumbersome, completely unpredictable and very troublesome, but for private military contractors, it's simple, collect money, do the work, and even if it fails, at most it will be refunded according to the contract.

All you need is some money, it’s so easy.”

"If there had been private contractors before, Mr. Reagan would not have been implicated in delivering weapons to YL."

"You really should have started a security company earlier instead of selling fake wine!" Weinberg spread his hands helplessly, "The good Secretary of Defense is gone!"

Sean laughed out loud. Yuri could handle such a thing as selling weapons to YL.

Yuri is now the largest private arms dealer in South America. Whether it is cheap and easy-to-use Chinese equipment, high-quality American products, or a walking tractor, a must-have artifact for mechanization in the rainforest area, you can get whatever you want!

Door-to-door delivery, the mission will be fulfilled!

In Southeast Asia, Neil is not only a guarantee company, but also extends its hand to the arms market. No matter you are a drug criminal or a rebel, no matter what you want, as long as you pay, the goods will be delivered to you.

The reason why I dare to shout like this is because Sean's shipping company and port company cooperate with each other and have a shipping network all over the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. It's just a matter of sending some arms. It's very simple.

"Well, there is indeed a lot of work that can be done. I didn't develop the umbrella well before." Sean waved his hands and admitted his mistake.

"You think this is the end?" Weinberg pursed his lips and smiled.

"Uh...what if?" Sean shrugged.

"Government departments cooperate more!" Weinberg said with a smile: "The world is not only the United States, the United Kingdom, and the East, but most countries and regions are actually at war, and government visits are not limited to the president or secretary of state. The middle-level

Officials are the most numerous."

"When they visit Africa, the Caribbean, South America, the Middle East and other regions, they need a large number of professional escorts. This is a huge number, and the CIA is not willing to be responsible for these tasks. Well, there is no any
