Chapter 156: Surrendering Faction
Green Zone.
The so-called Green Zone is an area in the center of Baghdad, about ten square kilometers. Since occupying Baghdad in 2003, the United States has set up such a heavily guarded area, heavily guarded, and prohibiting anyone from entering without permission.
The Green Zone contains the U.S. Embassy, the highest-level Iraqi government departments, and embassies from many countries. Now the United States has nominally returned the Green Zone to Iraq, but in fact, the Green Zone is still in the United States. human hands.
Basically, the Green Zone is a city within a city, a country within a country, but relatively speaking, it is also the safest place in Baghdad.
After two inspections, Gao Guang finally entered the Green Zone, and then he was sent directly to the War Group's headquarters in Baghdad, which was an inconspicuous three-story building in the Green Zone.
Zhanhuo Group has a lot of business in Iraq, so there are still many staff here. Gao Guang followed the driver into the office of Zhanhuo Group headquarters with a slightly uneasy mood.
It seemed to be no different from any other company's office. Gao Guang even saw several female staff busy inside, and Gao Guang went directly to a desk in the lobby.
"He's the one I picked up."
The driver said something to the person sitting behind the desk, and then he turned to Gao Guang and said, "I'll go up first. If you are free anytime, come find me."
It only took a bottle of wine, which could not be said to have bribed the coachman, but Gao Guang did open up the situation.
The person behind the desk gave Gao Guang a sweet look, then he picked up the phone on the desk, pressed it, and then whispered: "Manager, the person you were waiting for has arrived. Okay, I'll let him get up."
After hanging up the phone, the person in charge of reception said to Gao Guang: "Please go to the manager's office on the second floor. Our manager is waiting for you there."
Gao Guang could only lift his luggage and went up to the second floor with some difficulty.
I found the room, knocked on the door, and heard a strong voice inside: "Please come in."
Pushing the door open, he entered the room carrying large and small bags, and had to close the door again. Gao Guang really felt that it was too difficult to be outside alone, and now his arms began to hurt.
"You are a mad dog. You have worked hard all the way."
The manager is a man in his thirties, with a long beard on his face. He is wearing a sand-colored T-shirt. When the sweat dries, white marks are left in circles. It doesn’t look good. Like someone who sits in an office for long periods of time.
"I am Dawson Mobile, the general manager of the War Group in Iraq. Danny told me that you are a second-level contractor with the company as the main body. There is a contract here. If you see if it is OK, sign it. Come on."
Gao Guang looked at the contract. The contract was quite simple. It could be summarized into three core points.
First, Gao Guang only established a cooperative relationship with Zhanhuo Group on behalf of King's Defense Company and obtained some outsourced work from Zhanhuo Group, which was equivalent to being a contractor.
Second, any subcontracts King Defense receives from the War Group must be negotiated in detail, but no matter how King Defense does it, it has nothing to do with the War Group. If King Defense personnel suffer any losses, such as injuries or death, etc., It has nothing to do with the War Group, and if King's Defense has made any trouble, it has nothing to do with the War Group.
The third point is that as long as an agreement is reached, the War Group will pay King Defense at the negotiated price. If King Defense messes up, it will have to compensate the War Group for its losses.
This contract cannot be said to be a contract of betrayal, but it is a proper overlord contract. Fortunately, Gao Guang still has an option on the contract subcontracted by the War Group. In other words, if he feels that this task cannot be accepted, then If he doesn't accept it, the War Group is not qualified to ask him to carry out any death mission. If he feels that the price is not suitable, he can refuse to accept it.
After reading the terms carefully, Gao Guang still signed his name. Since he was here anyway, he should sign the cooperation agreement first.
The contract was made in triplicate. Seeing Gao Guang sign his name, Dawson put away the two contracts and then said to Gao Guang: "You only have yourself. Frankly speaking, I don't know what the relationship between Danny and you is, but You have to understand that if you are alone, you cannot complete any task independently. "
It seemed that Danny had told Dawson the specific situation. Gao Guang spread his hands and said, "Yeah, I can't do anything myself."
"So in the name of cooperating with a company, you are actually joining our company alone. Well, let me think about what kind of job is suitable for you."
Dawson thought for a while and said: "We provide security services for many places and departments. Can you participate in the security work of protecting diplomatic personnel and go out as armed security guards?"
Gao Guang still remembered the coachman's advice that it was best not to take on tasks to protect others, so he said without hesitation: "I can take on some aggressive contracts. Well, I'm not very good at security work."
Dawson frowned and said, "But Danny said you were an excellent bodyguard, so he let you come here."
"I can indeed be a qualified bodyguard in the United States, but here, I lack experience and I feel unable to undertake such an important protection job."
Dawson frowned and said: "But there is no job that is suitable for you. You are cooperating with us in the name of the company, and you are only one person. I don't know what else you can do. At least I won't stuff you." Join our team to perform some secret mission."
After finishing speaking, Dawson spread his hands and said: "You are here for vacation, so you might as well find a place to live here, do whatever you like, and wait for a while to go back."
Why don't you come to Baghdad if you really want to go on vacation? If you stay in the Green Zone for a while and then go back dejected, then what are you doing here?
However, as a lonely person, it is true that there is no way to take on any independent contract and do it by myself, so Gao Guang is really in a very embarrassing situation now.
Just when Gao Guang was helpless, Dawson's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "I remembered it. There is a task that seems to be suitable for you. Wait a minute and let me look for it."
He got up and went to the shelf with many folders next to him and started to look through the folders. Then Dawson took out a folder from the bottom layer of the shelf. Then he patted the dust on it and said, "I think this task You are suitable."
Looking at the status of this folder, you can tell that this is definitely not a big money-making project, and it is definitely not a job that is valued. Maybe it is just used to highlight things.
Dawson opened the folder, glanced at it twice, and said, "That's right, this is it."
The folder was placed in front of Gao Guang. Gao Guang took a look and found that the first page of the file was a photo of a person named Moussa Halbari. He had a sunken cheek, a slight beard, a headscarf covering his head, and was wearing a He was wearing a long robe and looked very melancholy. As for his age, it was hard to judge by looking at the beard on his face.
If it's a protection mission, I won't accept it. Gao Guang doesn't want to take bullets for others in Baghdad because the frequency is too high and the risk of injury or death is too great.
However, what is written in the document is to contact and understand, maintain a sense of presence, and not participate or interfere in any political stance of others. There are no specific tasks, and these are the requirements in the document.
Gao Guang stared at it for a while, then he said to Dawson in shock: "What kind of mission is this?"
"Well, there are no specific requirements. All you have to do is follow him. In fact, it is a kind of endorsement of Zhengzhi. It has nothing to do with the official. However, it is a protection mission provided by the American PMC company."
Gao Guang frowned and said, "It's still a protection mission."
"No, you are not required to protect his life. The above requirements are very clear. In fact, as long as you stand by his side, you will provide protection in the name of the king's defense. But, what really happened to him? You can leave immediately, no matter whether he is dead or alive."
What is this? Gao Guang cannot understand.
Dawson spread his hands and said: "Actually, it is an informal statement of Zhengzhi. Your existence itself speaks for itself."
"Am I enough by myself?"
"Enough, completely enough. I will let you take it just because you have only one person. If there are more people, this task will be too uneconomical. Well, the reward for this task is fifty thousand US dollars, but it lasts for three months, and We will also deduct 20% of the service fee, which means you can only get 40,000 yuan. Also, all expenses are paid by yourself and are included in your cost price.”
Gao Guang felt insulted. Three months, 40,000 yuan, protecting a person who didn't seem too safe in Baghdad, what was he trying to do?
No wonder there can't be more people on this task, because if two people do it, they will be compensated.
Seeing that Gao Guang's expression was not right, Dawson gave a bitter smile and said, "The budget given by the Ministry of Defense is this much, well, otherwise, we can waive your service fee."
Gao Guang was about to refuse, but Dawson said again: "It's not dangerous anyway, just do me a favor, spend three months here and get tens of thousands of dollars and then go back. Oh, and most of this guy It’s all in the green zone, so it’s very safe.”
"What does this person do?"
Dawson spread his hands and said: "Kurds, but he is an alien among the Kurds. He called on the Kurds not to use force to build a country, but to use peaceful means to strive for more autonomy, so he established a faction named What’s it called?”
After scratching his head and thinking for a long time, Dawson finally said: "I remembered, it's called the Freedom and Peace Alliance, that's the name. The United States appreciates his political stance, but this guy has no future, so that's what it is."
After finishing speaking, Dawson smiled and said: "This is a pacifist. He called on the tribe to give up resistance, strive for peace and love with an understanding and tolerant mentality, and build a prosperous Kurdish autonomous territory. He can even give up autonomy, so No one cares about him, no one's trying to kill him, but he's safe with him, man, think about it."
If it looks like this, it seems that I can spend this long vacation just by being lazy, and I still have money to take it. Fifty thousand US dollars is not a small amount.
Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "This is a capitulation faction. Okay, I accept this task in principle, but I have to know more before I can sign the contract."
Dawson smiled happily and said: "You can ask around, but I don't think many people know about this Musa, but I want to congratulate you for making a right choice."
