America's Road to Wealth

"...What are you talking about? Are you telling me that my bodyguard company has now captured a country in Africa?"

Evening, Manhattan.

When the sun sets, the afterglow of autumn illuminates the entire Hudson Bay into a golden color.

I wanted to go back to the top of the building and continue to hold my two treasures in the American music industry and be happy.

However, Abel learned a piece of news from his bodyguard captain Edward Sefoloza, who even scratched his head and was shocked when he heard it now.

That is, after the United States captured Lakoy, according to his order, Black Rock (the armed PMC of Rock Security) mobilized more than half of its manpower and resources to expand the market in Africa, and took Ghana in a rebellion that is common in Africa This small country in West Africa.

In fact, it is not small. This small African country has a land area of ​​nearly 240,000 square kilometers.

The land area of ​​the dignified British Kingdom is only a little over 240,000 square kilometers.

"Yes." As the chief security officer of Rock Security, Edward was actually scratching his head.

Although he is nominally the number one person in rock security, there are still many people in the company who can compete with him.

For example, the other three of the Four King Kong, and the black rock that is independent of the security of the rock.

Edward had control over them, but not complete hierarchy.

"The information sent back by Felix Wilkenhuisen is like this."

"They were originally in Ghana and took over a business to protect an American client. It was a mineral detection company, and they planned to work in the depths of Ghana's Volta Province."

"But when our people just arrived in Ghana, they were resting in their capital, Accra. There was a mutiny in Accra, and their soldiers were attacking their commanding palace. Their commanding palace was not defended, and the defenders brought Their commanders withdrew, and the rebels pursued them. As a result, in the chaotic battle, they ran into our people. Our people had to fight back for their own safety. Unexpectedly..."

Having said that, Edward paused, and continued in an uncertain tone: "I didn't expect them to be vulnerable. Felix and the others easily defeated the rebels and the defenders of the Commander's Palace. The Ghanaian in the chaos The leader was hit by a stray bullet and died..."

While Edward was introducing the situation to himself, Abel was also checking the report documents faxed back by Felix Wilkenhuissen and Neil McCormick, the chief executives of Black Rock.

The information on the document is basically the same as what Edward said, and it can be said to be relatively brief.

It is difficult for Abel to judge the specific situation, although he does not believe that the real situation will be so coincidental, and there will be so many accidental factors.

The problem now is that his PMC company's private armed forces defeated a rebellion in a small African country, and even killed the hands and brains of the government.

To be honest, this is really the first time Abel has encountered such a thing.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Call Alan and the others over. By the way, let Alan call a few of our consultants over by the way."

After thinking for a while, Abel spoke to Edward and ordered.

Edward nodded, and immediately went out to make arrangements.

Only then did Abel get up, and walked a few steps to the back of his desk, in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook almost the entire Manhattan.

Central Park at dusk is dyed golden everywhere, and it looks extremely beautiful from a high altitude.

The East River in the distance was extremely busy, and in the distance, some high-rise buildings in the riverside area of ​​Queens were all lit up with neon lights before dark.

The visual impact of the most prosperous city in the world briefly pulled Abel out of the African news he had just heard.

But after waiting for more than an hour, when all the people he was waiting for arrived, he started to deal with this somewhat ridiculous thing again.

"The best way is to immediately find a more obedient puppet in the local area. Whether it is a rebel or someone from the government, let him take the position directly."

In Abel's office, when night fell outside and the lights came on, the neon lights of Manhattan shone so brightly that they could be seen in space.

An old white man in his 50s to 60s, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a straight figure, said so.

The old white man who spoke was named James L. Jones, and he used to be a commander in the US Marine Corps.

After Jones retired last year, he opened two military consulting firms in his native Virginia: Iron Hands Security LLC and Jones Group International LLC.

Then at the end of last year, Rock Security acquired the two companies.

James L. Jones also logically came to New York to work for Abel for reasons that no one could pick out. As Abel's consultant on PMC and international military affairs, he also worked for Smith Wisdom Company and Rock Security Company. Holding two generous salaries and corresponding high benefits that even among his colleagues would make them very envious.

A perfect American revolving door deal.

Off-topic: James L. Jones was once Edward Sefoloza's immediate boss.

"In that damn place, there are too many mutinies every year. According to incomplete statistics, there have been about 300 mutinies there since the end of World War II, and sub-Saharan Africa has experienced more between 1956 and 2001. There were 80 successful mutinies and 108 attempted mutinies, an average of four per year."

"There are still statistics on this, the scale is relatively large, and it is known to the international community. The number of small ones is estimated to be more."

In the office, James L. Jones talked to his boss and colleagues: "So it's nothing. The best way to deal with it at the moment is to find a local person immediately and throw the responsibility on him."

"Of course." Having said that, James L. Jones nodded to Abel with some respect, "These are actually not important. The most important thing is your thoughts, Mr. Smith."

The words of the retired general also made everyone look at the boss logically.

After listening to the advice of James L. Jones, an important person in the top five corners, Abel generally has a clear thinking.

Abel knew that this matter was more or less responsible, and he was also responsible for it.

It was because of an idea of ​​his own that Black Rock, who could not handle all the business in Lakoy, had to send more than half of his personnel to Black Africa.

Otherwise, from the perspective of profit and normal operation of PMC, it is most correct for all the black rocks to stay in Lakoy or Afghanistan at this time.

Who said that the black rock has the relationship between the boss and the shrub, and is itself a part of the military-industrial complex.

It is easy to get various PMC tasks with more money and less work.

There is no need to go to black Africa, where the conditions are worse and harsher, to suffer and earn less money...

The problem is that the boss, Abel, doesn't think much of the profit that Black Rock makes in PMC.

Yes, compared with other normal industries, it is indeed a lot, and it is also outstanding among PMC peers.

But for a guy like him who regards the global financial market as an ATM, he really doesn't think much of that money.

What's more, Abel's original intention of forming PMC was to have fun and to have his own personal armed forces.

Money or not money is not important.

So because I accidentally remembered Gnawa's fierce record there when he was reborn in his previous life.

Thinking of this crop of Abel, he gave his black rock the order to go there.

It feels a bit like playing a strategy game.

It's just that ordinary people play computer games, at most tabletop war chess. And he, Abel Smith, started playing the real-life mode directly.
