The safety at Aziziyah Camp was extraordinarily tight. Gao Yang and firm may now not drive straight to the gate; they needed to cease and get off 5 hundred meters away. They then wanted to cross by means of blockades fabricated from sandbags and barbed wires earlier than they may attain the gates to Aziziyah Camp.

Whereas being geared toward by machine weapons, Gao Yang and firm walked to the identical place the place they recruited mercenaries. There was now not a crowd of mercenaries because it was simply Gao Yang’s corp of 5.

As the federal government’s aspect grew to become weaker, an rising variety of mercenaries selected to go away or work for the Opposition as an alternative. The benefit of this dangerous scenario was that Gaddafi needed to supply the next value to draw mercenaries. He can be very keen to splurge on the elite mercenaries.

The recruitment officer was exhilarated upon recognizing the 5 of them and took the initiative to greet them, “Over right here, are you freelance mercenaries or a mercenary corp?”

Gao Yang approached him and stated, “We’re the Devil Mercenary Corp. We participated within the battle at Misurata.”

The officer clutched a pill in his hand and after some swiping, he introduced, “Participated within the battle of Misurata, did you? Let me take a look, Devil Mercenary Corp, discovered it. You’ve obtained good remarks, or I ought to say, distinctive remarks. The three commanders every gave you guys a full rating. You’re going to get the perfect pay, welcome again.”

Gao Yang turned to Grolev and whispered, “This feels so bizarre. When did they begin selecting mercenaries like this? Why do I really feel like this can be a recruitment for workplace clerks and never for a battle?”

Grolev shrugged, “Who is aware of? This can be a first for me too. Possibly they wished to expertise the allure of superior know-how and gathered all the knowledge they’d in regards to the mercenaries. Heh, does this rely as superior? I really feel good although, getting paid when all now we have to do is say our title.”

“You may tackle a protection mission. We’ve got already crammed the positions for this mission however because you carried out effectively, you’ll be able to nonetheless be a part of it on one situation. That’s, it’s important to be beneath the command of an officer in cost. With out his orders to retreat, you could not retreat by yourself.”

Gao Yang was considerably hesitant. He couldn’t the settle for instructions from a stranger, particularly if the commander was most probably substandard. On second thought, if this mission concerned defending ;

an ;

vital personnel or a location, ;

no person would pay to recruit mercenaries to combat after they wished to flee in any other case.

After some deliberation, Gao Yang requested significantly, “What sort of mission is it, and whose command will we be put beneath?”

“The mission is confidential. I don’t know who your commander is. There may be one factor I should be clear about. Your commander won’t intrude with the way you combat. He’ll solely request and supervise that you simply defend your personal space. That’s all. In the event you can’t comply with this very primary request, you received’t be capable of obtain this mission.”

Gao Yang felt the request was acceptable and stated on the spot, “How a lot is the reward, and the way do you calculate it?”

“Contemplating the dimensions and efficiency of your mercenary corp, you’ll be paid twenty thousand US {dollars} a day. That’s solely the essential pay nonetheless, there are additionally bonuses and bounties. The bonus quantity will probably be determined by the battle dimension, ranging from ten thousand {dollars} a day with no higher cap. Bounties are self-explanatory. It may be 1,000,000 {dollars} nevertheless it will also be solely 100 {dollars}. I feel you perceive the way it works.”

Gao Yang nodded earlier than he turned to Grolev and the remainder. He requested, “What do you all assume? Can we settle for this job?”

Grolev stated with a low tonality, “The most important downside is that now we have to simply accept orders from different individuals. That is troublesome, however that is regular for protection missions. Irrespective of who accepts the mission, they can’t be too free. I feel we are able to settle for it.”

Lee Jin Fang stated, “Ol’ Russian is correct, no person needs to rent somebody who flees upon battle for an escort mission. Their request is just not an excessive amount of, take it.”

Gao Yang additionally wished to simply accept this mission. Since no person objected, he instantly turned to the recruitment officer and stated, “No downside, we’ll settle for this mission. The place ought to we go now?”

“It’s proper right here. Go on in and somebody will temporary you.”

Gao Yang was shocked that they didn’t need to go anyplace else. He thought he can be despatched to some covert location to guard a goal from individuals whom he would by no means know. He stood corrected.

Aziziyah Camp took up 4 hectares with tall sturdy concrete partitions crammed with all types of sensors and surveillance gadgets. Barbed wires and totally outfitted troopers had been stationed on each side of the wall. Anti-aircraft missiles may be seen all over the place with the addition of tanks once in a while. All these contributed to the ironclad protection of Aziziyah Camp.

Gao Yang couldn’t perceive why mercenaries like them can be wanted in essentially the most well-defended place in Libya. Despite the fact that Aziziyah Camp already suffered a number of air strikes, it could possibly be thought-about the most secure place in Libya.

There have been many checkpoints and maze-like partitions contained in the camp as effectively. Each checkpoint was guarded by numerous troops. Gao Yang and firm quickly entered areas that they ;

didn’t go to final time

. They’d get checked each time they went by means of a checkpoint. A lot to Gao Yang’s confusion, their satellite tv for pc telephones weren’t confiscated.

Gao Yang and firm had been taken to the border of a giant plain earlier than they stopped. Then, Gao Y

ang glanced at his environment to see a big plain with giant tents scattered throughout with a constructing close to the sting. About 200 meters away from every nook of the constructing was a small cluster of huts. There have been makeshift sandbag formations armed with not less than two anti-aircraft machine weapons and anti-aircraft cannons. There have been camouflage nets on the constructing and all the formations.

It was obvious that the formations on the 4 sides had been to defend the constructing within the heart which was not that tall. At the moment, Gao Yang fe

lt ;

a bit of uneasy — as a result of from what he knew, this place must be Gaddafi’s well-known Aziziyah Palace.

Gao Yang and firm didn’t have to attend for lengthy earlier than an individual carrying a lieutenant colonel badge got here and took over. He signed a chunk of paper and acquired the individuals who escorted Gao Yang and firm to go away. The lieutenant colonel stared at Gao Yang and the remainder a bit earlier than saying, “Comply with me.”

The lieutenant colonel wasted no time to speak and introduced them to the formation located within the northwest, straight to the door of a small hut. He stated whereas pointing to the quick doorway, “I’m Ibrahim, you’ll be beneath my command over the subsequent few days. You can be residing on this room, and you could not depart the home until you’ve got permission or are on a mission. Food and drinks will probably be offered. Particular particulars will probably be defined to you by somebody.”

The lieutenant colonel didn’t say the rest and left without delay. He entered a hut after turning round two bends and slammed the door.

Gao Yang and firm checked out one another and entered the hut allotted to them. Their hut didn’t have a door; the exit was not more than half a meter extensive and no taller than one and a half meters. The within of the hut had about eight sq. meters of area with solely two bunk beds and nothing else. There have been holes drilled within the meter thick concrete partitions throughout for ;

firing, and it was very apparent that the hut was truly a fort.

Tribo frivolously sighed, “Not less than we’ll really feel actually protected residing in this type of housing.”

Gao Yang virtually cried, “Cease speaking nonsense. Are you dumb? We had been clearly tricked. That is undoubtedly Gaddafi’s palace, a primary goal for NATO air strikes. Moreover, we’re mainly defending an empty goal.”

Grolev smiled wryly, “Appears so. I can wager that Gaddafi’s undoubtedly not right here. In any other case, the guards listed here are too relaxed. No person instructed us what we must be doing both. They simply chucked us over right here. That is undoubtedly a lure and we fell for it.”

Jin stated with a clumsy expression, “Why contain so many individuals if Gaddafi’s not right here? That is unreasonable. Do you assume Gaddafi is taking part in the artwork of warfare? Warfare relies on deception.”

Gao Yang shook his head. “Gaddafi should be foolish sufficient to stay right here to attend to be bombed. As well as, it’s no secret that Gaddafi loves residing in tents. Do you see any girl bodyguards or camels outdoors these tents on the grassy plains? If there aren’t, then Gaddafi is unquestionably not right here.”

One may see the sandbag formation by means of the holes. Grolev peered outdoors a bit and stated, “There are not less than fifty males outdoors, seemingly all in place, however everybody appears to be like relaxed. High quality, we’re undoubtedly defending Gaddafi’s decoy.”

“Then, can we nonetheless get the cash?”

Fly solely cared about whether or not he may nonetheless get the cash or not as an alternative of the truth that they had been defending a decoy.

Gao Yang smiled, “Maybe, however I sadly need to inform you that even when they don’t give us a cent, we are able to do nothing. Have a look at these guards on the market. If we dare trigger hassle, they are going to kill all of us with out hesitation.”

Gao Yang simply completed after they heard somebody yell from the opposite aspect of the doorway. “Hiya, my unfortunate dudes, are you able to let me in? Let me take a look at which poor bugs fell into the lure. I ought to have knocked out of courtesy however there are not any doorways right here for me to knock on.”

Gao Yang frowned and replied loudly, “Please are available.”

A closely constructed black bent his again to enter the hut with a lot effort. He was not less than six toes and 4 inches tall, with an American model desert camo outfit. His shiny bald head virtually reached the two-meter excessive ceiling, and he appeared completely oppressive.

Though he was bald, the black saved a beard. The snow-white beard was a tell-tale signal that this man was not younger anymore.

The black man glanced at Gao Yang and firm and bellowed, “Good afternoon everybody, I’m very pleased to see you all. Not less than I’m not the one one to make a silly alternative with the addition of you all. My title is Harris, you’ll be able to name me Massive Dude. ;

I’d be pleased to simply accept it if y

ou name me Flamethrower too as a result of I’m quick-tempered, haha. No matter you name me, simply don’t name me a blackie. I welcome all of you to the land of despair, my pals, on behalf of the Black Hearth Mercenary Corp.”
