Chapter 303 We are so poor
How poor is Rwanda?! Let me tell you about the data. In recent years, Rwanda's national GDP has been less than 2 billion US dollars. Yes, you are not wrong. This country with a population of millions has a total GDP of less than 2 billion. It is poor, very poor. Even if it is so poor, they have to raise a professional army for their own safety.
In this case, the general you told their general that you need to buy a security equipment priced at more than 200,000 US dollars. Not to mention that Kagame is just a major general, even the president of Rwanda is not that extravagant! It is really hard to afford it, the country is too poor.
"We can disassemble this set of equipment and send it to your presidential palace to reinstall it." Looking at Kagame's appearance, the giant wolf understood it very much. For many jackals now, hundreds of thousands, there is no income from a single action.
However, this is indeed a huge sum of money in many small African countries. It is huge enough to make many people crazy about it, and even the president will be moved by it. After hearing the giant wolf's words, Kagame immediately said to the giant wolf with gratitude: "Thank you! Thank you for your understanding!"
Kagame is really grateful for the giant wolf's understanding. To be honest, he feels embarrassed himself. There is nothing he can do about it. Rwanda is indeed poor. This leads to him, even though he knows that his opponent has the support of mercenaries, he can do nothing.
Their individual quality and weapons and equipment are definitely not as good as others. If they want to hire better mercenaries, they can't afford that price. Although there are a small part of Rwanda that produces gold, it is really a very small part. It can't support them to hire mercenaries.
Since it is an African country, Rwanda is naturally not unfamiliar with mercenaries. If you have a little understanding of them, you will know that a slightly better mercenary team in the international market requires at least one million US dollars per mission. You should know that people are fighting for your life.
A good team means they have good combat skills and certain combat skills. They have the cooperation of at least one small team. Of course, if you look for the kind of straitors, then just pretend I didn't say anything. Free mercenaries may have strong military qualities. But without the cooperation of the team, they can't actually achieve a good record.
Free mercenaries are also the lowest cannon fodder in the entire mercenary circle. To put it nicely, they are called free mercenaries, but in fact they are lonely ghosts who are no one to take in. Without logistics support and teammates to assist in the fight. Basically, few survived in three or five battles. With certain abilities, they all joined small mercenaries or were poached by large PMCs.
Those who want to make quick money and make big money will stay in the mercenary circle. Either join a team or organize a team. Those who strive for stability will enter the PMC enterprise. After all, PMC is relatively less risky, and although the income is less than that of mercenaries, the victory lies in stability. There is no need to worry about not being able to receive money.
If you ask why Rwanda doesn't invite large PMCs, then you'll have to spread your hands: Don't think PMC is cheap. People also have to evaluate the risks here and offer you a price. Don't expect them to be stupid and don't watch the fun you are playing here. They can also send experts to help if they give a price of around 100,000 yuan. That's because you're thinking too much.
Moreover, large PMCs basically have their own intelligence channels. After learning that the Americans, Belgians and French were involved, they would definitely not want to intervene. Even if they wanted to come in, they would send secret force to assist the big country in bullying small countries.
After chatting with Major General Kagame, Giant Wolf politely took Hou Dasheng and the others to say goodbye. Kagame even personally sent them to the barracks door to show respect. Giant Wolf is indeed worthy of Kagame's politeness, no matter what aspect.
The camp was built in a valley, and the location was very good. At this time, Giant Wolf and Hou Dasheng looked around and nodded. The Rwandan army did not dare to say anything surprises to them, but at least the camp was built in a normal manner. Each commanding height and blind spots had special guards and patrols.
Each fulcrum also has reasonable light and heavy firepower. Once someone is found to invade, these cross-fire points will give the invader an unforgettable memory. This is probably one of the reasons why the other party has not launched an attack on Kagame's command post. They must have come and evaluated it. They think the risk is too great.
Then he chose to attack the leaders of those armed forces. After all, they can achieve the result of the collapse of the armed forces controlled by Rwanda. So why do you have to take high risks to deal with Kagame?! If you fail, it is difficult to explain after suffering casualties.
Two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the heroes can't resist the wolves. Moreover, there is an elite battalion of elite guards around Kagame, which has even increased the risk of attack. Therefore, it is normal for the giant wolf to see that they have no movement. Because if it is a giant wolf, he would also choose this way.
Compared with the Rwandan army, which is at least well-trained and has many years of practical experience, those newly-established armed forces are better to deal with. Moreover, their internal system is still very chaotic. They can easily get in, kill their leaders and then evacuate calmly. It's just that they have to take several more actions. They can all achieve their goals.
Kagame was very efficient. When the giant wolf brought Hou Dasheng and the others into the residence arranged for them, the information of the rebels was sent. The file bag was opened, which contained a map, the rebel's power distribution map, the chief information, as well as the analysis of weapons and equipment and combat capabilities.
"Johnny, Archie, Larkin, kill these three guys first." The giant wolf looked at the information page by page, but in just a few minutes, he took out three photos and threw them to Hou Dasheng. It doesn't matter who he killed, but what's important is to let those guys who are ready to move know that Rwanda also has the ability to kill them.
As long as a few people are killed, the remaining people will be over. The giant wolf is very familiar with this situation, which is the norm in Africa. Don’t expect them to have much backbone and so-called dignity. These people are just a group of vultures, who only like to eat carrion. Once you find that you are still alive, you can eat him.
Then he would instantly become extremely honest. Hou Dasheng pulled the photo but said nothing. He started to read it with the information.
"Two days, no problem, right?" The giant wolf asked Hou Dasheng at this time. Hou Dasheng, who had scanned the information, thought for a while, and said, "There should be no problem. I will set off tonight. I will try to kill one by tomorrow morning. I will work harder tomorrow to see if I can finish it."
The giant wolf nodded: "Don't be too anxious, pay attention to safety. We are not only active in this area. If we encounter it, don't fight hard. Let's talk about it. Our people are already on the way to come and have to purchase a batch of weapons. Now there are definitely not enough weapons in Rwanda."
The giant wolf's words made Hou Dasheng very much agree. As he walked along the way, Hou Dasheng saw that the most people used the old Russian rifles. A small number of m16s, but they were all outdated models. You have to know that this is still the elite troops of Rwanda! You can imagine what other troops would look like.
Of course, jackals will not spend their own money to arm Rwandan troops, because this has nothing to do with them. This is the evaluation suggestion given by the cranes who came to fight outposts in the early stage. The person who paid for it was naturally Benoit, who wanted to open the mine here. This little money was just a drop in the bucket for Benoit.
In fact, the crane does not require much. The jackal found a few arms dealers active in Africa and got it done. The total amount was less than one million US dollars. In exchange for a bunch of second-hand m16 calculated by kilograms. Of course, it also included a batch of ammunition that was about to expire.
Of course, new guns are very expensive, but second-hand guns are cheaper. Many times, the US military renews guns. Old guns are almost disposable as waste products. Arms merchants with a way will purchase these "scrap iron". After renovation, they can be sent to small countries including Africa, South America and Southeast Asia.
Sold to small countries, anti-official armed forces, or drug dealers, and flow into the underground black gun market. The codes of these guns have been deliberately worn out, and some worn spare parts have been replaced. In some ways, this is considered a newly assembled gun. Of course, stability depends on the price you give.
The price of a fully-equipped m16 purchased by the US military is about US$2,000. The basic civilian version will be about US$800. However, the second-hand ones are only sold for less than US$600. If purchased in bulk, the price will be even lower. This determines that many armed forces in order to save money will choose to buy second-hand guns.
Of course! The Russian AK series is cheaper. The international market price is about 200 US dollars. The full configuration is about 300 US dollars. If you put it in second-hand, it will be even cheaper. In Africa, the lowest one is even $8. Of course, if you dare to use it, it will be cheaper.
This is also the reason why Russian-type guns have become rampant in Africa and even in other armed hot-spot conflict areas. It's cheap enough! Of course, some armed forces will still use some m16, but more will use Russian-type guns. This is also one of the reasons why two types of guns appear in Rwanda's elite army.
"I'll take a break, and I'll set off after a while when it's dark." Hou Dasheng closed the information and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I haven't done this kind of thing before. I'll come back after I finish cleaning up. But, boss! You have to prepare some meat for me, and I'll make it myself after I come back. I can't believe in the cooking skills of these people..."
