The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3124

In this world, not every country or region was as peaceful and prosperous as it was in Oskia. There were perennial wars in many regions, and so, mercenaries simply bloomed and prospered in such places. Most mercenaries were a bunch of desperados who did not have any sense of justice and were all only working for money. They would serve and give their lives for anyone who could give them money. Moreover, some of these mercenaries were also dependent on certain countries for survival such as the famous Blackwater Company in the United States. They trained a large number of mercenaries specifically to provide services to the United States government. The participation of the mercenaries from Blackwater Company was basically inseparable in almost all of the United States military operations in the Middle East. Moreover, they would also step in to do anything that would be inconvenient for the government to do on their own. 2

Ten Thousand Armies belonged to the first kind.

After Hamed listened to the introduction of Ten Thousand Armies, he was frustrated, and he asked offhandedly, "It would cost at least up to tens of millions of US dollars a day to hire ten thousand mercenaries from Ten Thousand Armies, right?"

The deputy commander hurriedly said, "Commander, the price of Ten Thousand Armies is extremely high. The cost of the ordinary mercenaries under their command is one or two thousand US dollars a day, and the price of the officers is even higher, and some of them cost more than tens of thousands of US dollars a day. It is said that any single one of the Four War Kings under their command costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a day..."

Hamed was dumbfounded as he asked, "Seriously? Why is it so expensive?!" 4

The deputy commander explained, "The reason why Ten Thousand Armies has risen in recent years is due to its superior combat power and effectiveness. All of their mercenaries are well-trained, especially their core cadre members. All of them are top soldiers, and they are all the best amongst the mercenaries regardless of whether it is their individual combat capability or their overall coordinated combat capability. The only problem is their really high price, and most people simply cannot afford to hire them."

Hamed frowned and said, "According to this calculation, the cost of these ten thousand mercenaries should be more than twenty million US dollars a day, right?!" 1

"Yes." The deputy commander wiped his sweat and said nervously, "I also received news that one of the Four War Kings also came here this time! It is said that this person can defeat one hundred people on his own on the battlefield!" 3

Hamed could not help but shiver as he blurted out, "I cannot f*cking understand how the hell the government managed to get the money to hire so many mercenaries?!"

The deputy commander explained, "The government does not have that much money, but they were willing to allocate a piece of land in Syria to be given to Ten Thousand Armies so that they can build their base there after the opposition forces have all been suppressed. That is the reason why Ten Thousand Armies are so eager and active."

"D*mn it... It's over..." Hamed felt utterly hopeless at this time, and he was in a complete state of panic.

He thought to himself, 'If this information is true, I'm afraid that there must be several thousands of mercenaries from Ten Thousand Armies amongst the army that is thirty kilometers away...'

'I only have a total of a few thousand people under me at this time, and their level of training is far from the best of the mercenaries. Besides that, the other party has almost eight thousand people and so many armored vehicles and towed howitzers. My team does not have any advantage at all regardless of whether it is the number of soldiers, the level of training, and also weaponry and equipment. If we were to really go to war, we basically do not have any chances of winning at all...' 1

Hamed, who was extremely nervous, suddenly thought of Charlie. So, he immediately took out his satellite phone and called Charlie.

At this time, Charlie had just picked up Claire, who had just come out of Moore Group, and he was on the way to send her to her company.

Charlie was also very surprised when he suddenly received a phone call from Hamed. So, he spoke up and asked, "Brother, why are you suddenly calling me?"

Hamed's voice was trembling as he said, "Brother Wade, I'm already at death's door, so please do not blame me if Sheldon Schulz were to die here!"

Charlie felt a thump in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Hamed let out a long sigh and said, "The government hired a group of well-trained mercenaries from overseas, and they have already destroyed many opposition forces who have many more troops as compared to me within a short period of time. There is an army of around eight thousand men who are less than thirty kilometers away from me now. I'm afraid that I will not be able to make it through this time!" 5
