Chapter 154 The Bullet Belt Is Missing
Both Mike's and Francisco's injuries are the kind that look serious, but are actually not serious, but recover very slowly.
And after only two short days, Mike and Francisco had to take a long-distance flight to Baghdad. This was indeed a bit too inhumane.
So I had no choice but to go to Highlights alone.
Before leaving, Gao Guang transferred 50,000 yuan to John and 30,000 yuan to each of Mike and Francisco.
Why do we need to transfer money? Because Mike and the others all work for Gao Guang, not in partnership with Gao Guang.
If the three of Gao Guang and Mike are working together for one goal, then everyone will share the money when they make money, and if they lose money, everyone will share the money. But now Gao Guang hired the three of them to do things for him, and if he makes more money, Gao Guang will also do it. Yes, if you pay for it, of course it will be Gaoguang’s own.
Even if it is an ordinary job, the boss still has to pay compensation if an employee is injured. Not to mention that high-risk jobs like PM are not covered by insurance, so the boss, Gao Guang, has to pay for it out of his own pocket.
If John's injuries are serious, give him more. If Mike and Francisco's injuries are minor, give him less. As for not giving, it's definitely not possible. If something goes wrong, the three of them will risk their lives to help. , if Gao Guang were more stingy, no one would hang out with him in the future.
So the current situation of Gao Guang is that he has made a name for himself, but his wallet is flat, his younger brother is injured, and he is alone on the plane.
A super large C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft, with more than a hundred temporary seats arranged in the cargo hold, no windows, everyone was full of salutes, and luggage was thrown at their feet.
There are no seat belts for people, and there is no dedicated luggage compartment for luggage.
Gao Guang's luggage was very large. He brought two pistols and a rifle. In addition, he brought 300 rounds of pistol ammunition and 1,000 rounds of rifle ammunition produced by Sig Sauer, so the bullets alone occupied a large space. Bag, and it’s very heavy.
The people in this cabin are all employees of the Ministry of Defense, and at least half of them belong to the War Group. The remaining half include employees from other companies and Pentagon staff, but more than 90% of them are on combat missions in Baghdad. .
Now that the United States has withdrawn its troops from Iraq, it is precisely because of the withdrawal that more PMs are needed to maintain the occupation.
Flying long distances on a transport plane is a pain, and there are no flight attendants or any services on board.
But the good thing is that everyone can smoke.
The bright neighbor took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes, then took out a shiny metal portable ashtray from his pocket, put a cigarette in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter.
Gao Guang was stunned when he saw it, and then he tried hard to remind himself that this was a military plane, a military transport plane.
The neighbor noticed Gao Guang looking at him with strange eyes, so he said slowly: "Newcomer?"
Gao Guang shook his head, then nodded quickly and said, "It's my first time going to Iraq."
"Have one?"
"I won't smoke, thank you."
The person sitting next to him had a cigarette in his mouth. He looked at the luggage under the high-gloss seat and at his feet and said, "You don't have many bullets."
Gao Guang was slightly stunned, and then he whispered: "I brought a thousand rounds."
"What brand?"
"Sig Sauer."
"Wow, Sig Sauer bullets are very expensive. No wonder you brought so few. But you made a mistake. If you were short of money, then you should bring more bullets. Why didn't your friend ask you to help? Bring some bullets?"
Is a thousand rounds of ammunition less? The security in Baghdad is much better now, and there are no daily gunfights.
Also, Gao Guang is very confused about how many bullets are too many.
"How many rounds of ammunition did you bring?"
"I brought two thousand rounds of sniper ammunition, so I had to pick up the most scarce bullets. There were not enough bullets for several people, but my luggage was overweight and I couldn't bring more."
Gao Guang said curiously: "Can't I get bullets in Baghdad? Why do I need your help to bring bullets?"
"Good bullets are always scarce. The company has many restrictions on receiving bullets. The army does not provide us with free ammunition, let alone special sniper bullets. Well, do you really not understand?"
"What don't you understand?"
"Many people are unable to fly on military transport planes. Commercial flights don't allow people to bring too many bullets, so there are many small companies and mercenaries waiting to buy bullets from us. Man, no matter how much you bring, it won't be enough. Yes, remember, the price of bullets in Baghdad is five times that of the United States, starting at five times.”
He kicked the ammunition box next to him and the man sitting next to him smiled and said: "Next time you have the opportunity to fly on a military plane, don't forget to bring two boxes of ammunition to earn thousands of dollars in extra money. If you don't have a familiar buyer, Find me."
After finishing his cigarette, the person sitting next to him put the cigarette butt in the portable ashtray, stretched out his hand to the highlight, and said, "My name is Ethan."
"Hello, my name is Otto, nice to meet you."
After shaking hands, Ethan put away the ashtray, and then he stopped chatting with Gao Guang, but put the headset around his neck on his ears, moved a few times on the folding chair, found a comfortable position, and closed the eyes.
There was a lot of noise in the cabin, and it was not easy to talk. Gao Guang found that many experienced people were wearing noise-cancelling headsets, but he was not prepared for this.
What can the highlight do? He just has to suffer.
A few hours later, when the transport plane suddenly began to dive with a violent attitude, causing a group of people in the cabin to start yelling, Gao Guang knew that his painful journey was finally over and the plane was about to land.
The landing of the military transport plane can only be described as wild, but the advantage is that it is really fast. It didn't take long, and Gao Guang felt the plane shake heavily. Gao Guang knew that the plane had landed.
After taxiing a short distance, the plane stopped and the passengers in the temporary seats began to eagerly get up and pack their luggage.
The door at the rear of the plane slowly opened, and the cabin quickly became brighter. At the same time, a wave of heat surged in from the door.
The highlight was still some distance away from the cabin door, but he could also feel the heat pouring in from the cabin door. This made him very surprised and strange. It was already September, how could it be so hot.
Ethan stood up, stretched, and said with a dull expression: "Welcome to the scorching place, young man, I hope there is air conditioning where you live."
Gao Guang picked up his luggage and followed the crowd off the plane. When he really walked into the sunshine, he immediately understood what the poisonous sunshine meant.
My face hurt from the sun, and I started to feel a burning sensation within a very short period of time.
No wonder almost everyone wears sunglasses. It turns out that when you go outside, you really feel like you can't open your eyes.
Gao Guang was carrying a bag on his back and holding the bag with both hands. He walked about fifty meters under the sun, and his body was already wet with sweat.
Why does no one wear short sleeves here? Because it will expose the skin.
A person standing under the sunshade net shouted: "Zhan Huo Group, people from Zhan Huo Group come here to report."
The Zhanhuo Group is very big. Although these people are from the same company, they do not necessarily belong to the same department, and it is impossible for them to all know each other.
Gao Guang trotted under the sunshade net, and now he had the time to take a look at the airport.
There are many transport planes, but no passenger planes can be seen. This is Baghdad International Airport, but it is a military zone. There are many cars and trailers here. Although it cannot be compared with the grand occasion when the US military first occupied Baghdad, there are still a lot of soldiers here.
Highlight followed the crowd to the front, and a middle-aged man holding a document board and whose clothes were soaked with sweat shouted to him: "You are from that department, where are you going?"
"I'm from King's Defense Company. Well, I go to the headquarters of War Group in Baghdad."
The man holding the document board looked up at Gao Guang, and then he began to flip through the papers in front of him. Then he frowned and said: "The name King's Defense is not on the list. What is your name? Don't mention the company name."
Danny's explanation was not very clear. Gao Guang was a little confused. He thought for a moment and said, "Gao Guang."
"No such name, man, what's wrong with you!"
The person who registered was a little unhappy. Gao Guang hesitated and said, "How about you look up the name of Mad Dog?"
After flipping through the pages quickly, I found Mad Dog among the names starting with M. The person in charge of registration said with a displeased look on his face: "Next time, just report this name and choose which car to get on."
Gao Guang looked at a Hummer not far away. He nodded and said, "Thank you."
Gao Guang walked to the car, and the people in the car waved their hands and shouted through the car window: "Put the luggage on the back seat."
He put down his luggage and got to the passenger seat. When Gao Guang was about to open the door, he found a bullet hole next to the handle.
After being stunned for a moment, Gao Guang opened the car door and got into the car. When he sat firmly, the driver immediately asked: "Are you a mad dog?"
"Uh, it's me."
"Very well, sit down and wait for a while."
Gao Guang saw that the back seat was already occupied by his luggage, so he hurriedly asked: "Is there anyone else? Do I need to put my luggage elsewhere?"
The driver turned to look at Gao Guang and said, "You are a rookie, right?"
"Uh, how did you know."
"We'll wait for the convoy to leave together. If we act alone, we'll be easily attacked. If you don't even know this, you must be a rookie."
After finishing speaking, the driver said unceremoniously: "And the bullets you brought are too few. I hope you can give me some extra bullets."
It seems that the bullets are really low.
Gao Guang smiled and said: "My friends will come over in two days, and they will bring a lot."
"Really? Ask them to bring me some bullets and two red dot sights. I can pay half of the deposit in advance. Of course, I will give it to you at the Baghdad price."
Gao Guang wanted to talk to him. He wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "It's too hot here. I really didn't expect it to be so hot."
The driver smiled slightly and said: "Is it hot? It's only 40 degrees today, and the low temperature at night is 24 degrees. This is already cool weather. Man, I hope your residence has air conditioning. I can only wish you good luck. ”
