America’s Big Hero

(PS: Damn, this chapter is really tiring. The ghost knows what a private military contractor's commercial organization will look like. I can't find any information at all. It's all designed by myself, and my brain cells are dead a lot!)

After despising Sean's Versailles behavior, everyone pulled the topic back.

What is a professional private military contractor?

Sean doesn't have many concepts himself, all he knows is to take jobs from the military and then fight!

But he knew very little about how the U.S. military fought wars. After all, he was a small squad leader when he retired.

Fortunately, now there is an army general and a defense minister around to advise.

John Jr. took the famous Vietnam War as an example. He was in Vietnam at the time and was a witness.

Explain the entire war process to Sean from high-level planning.

At the end of April 1961, Ledi decided to increase the number of military advisers stationed in Vietnam and dispatch the first batch of US special forces, and ordered an intensified secret war. On May 14, he ordered the dispatch of 400 US military "special operations forces" and 100 military advisers into Vietnam. south.

The so-called secret operation is to collect intelligence by hand, and they do not believe the intelligence of Diem and his men.

These intelligence personnel are also armed personnel, all of whom are special forces. They need to understand the topography, landform, hydrology, weather and other natural environments of the team's mission division, record, survey and map and send it back to the United States.

In addition to the natural conditions, it is also necessary to understand the local armed conditions, the number of armed personnel, the combat skills they are good at, how their equipment is, and so on.

The US military attaches great importance to intelligence collection, especially after the Korean defeat.

All aspects of intelligence must be personally probed, and then summarized to determine what tactics to use, what equipment, how to equip logistics materials, and how to choose medicines.

During this time, the US military had only one forward base in Vietnam.

It wasn't until October that the U.S. military began bombing operations in support of the South Vietnamese army's operations.

After that, special operations forces cooperated with military advisers, supported pro-American forces to carry out coups, and supported local armed forces. As of 1964, American special forces had established a total of 18 civilian guerrilla self-defense force surveillance camps. By 1965, they were equipped with nearly 20,000 civilian guerrilla armed personnel.

Speaking of this, Little John smiled and looked at Sean and said, "Actually, what I said above can be done by the umbrella, and the effect may not be worse than that of the military. On the contrary, in my opinion, private military Contractors can move more freely because they don’t have to bear some of the military’s rules and regulations, and it will work better.”

"This is what military contractors should do, in-depth cooperation with the military, rather than your current, completely separate operation from the military."

Sean listened and nodded. Now that he has formed a protective umbrella, he knows that the combat capability of the U.S. military is indeed very powerful, and it is second to none in the world. However, their combat capability has been greatly weakened by the "U.S. military" system.

Or the American political system!

In terms of the logistics of the North Stick War, the U.S. military is tired of eating beef, and they have to eat hot meals every day in the ice and snow. Officers have coffee and black tea.

Get used to them!

This has greatly weakened the will of the US military to fight!

The logistical requirements are too high and unreasonable at all. In theory, senior U.S. military logistics officials should be against it. At least in the east, they will slap you to death and return the coffee!

However, the actual situation is that such a high standard is required by the logistics itself. The higher the logistics standard, the more supporting factories!

Whether it’s a relationship or a lobbyist, a large number of food processing factories, quilt factories, clothing factories, and transportation companies dedicated to the U.S. military have all made a fortune during the war!

This is capitalism, this is the United States, war is to make a fortune, and everyone makes a fortune together.

Also, there is the issue of casualties.

Don't the commanders of the U.S. military understand what is meant by "will to fight" and "fight to the death"?

I understand!

However, there should be no large casualties. Once the casualties are too large, the opposition party will come out to criticize and call for anti-war, and there will be demonstrations and strikes in the country.

The pressure on the ruling party will be unprecedented. For the sake of votes, the two powers will choose the lesser, and the will to fight should be abandoned.

In the end, it turned into everything by bombing and throwing money at it!

And these retired soldiers are in another way when they are in the hands of Sean.

Logistics support?

Still drinking coffee?

Go to your uncle, Sean can't kill them, take Lao Tzu's money as money, right?

The logistical support of ordinary soldiers under the umbrella is that they can eat enough, and it is enough to eat enough.

Overseas combat, a salary of $3,000 a month, quit if you don’t want to do it, there are things for retired U.S. soldiers.

Unstable will to fight?

You surrendered one to give me a try!

Don't say surrender, retreat without an order, and shoot on the spot!

In the previous attack on Laayoun, the street battle faced the anti-tank missiles of the Moroccan army. The M60 and armored vehicles were blown up a lot, which was the heaviest loss since its establishment, but when the military order was issued, no one dared to take a step back and said that have to rush.

So, what little John said, Sean understood as soon as he heard it.

"The military already has an intention in this regard?" Sean asked with a smile.

"It's not interesting, but it's being implemented. Mainly in South America and the Caribbean, some small-scale military operations are outsourced to MPRI. At present, both parties are very satisfied. MPRI has made money and the military has decreased. A lot of trouble, but a lot of joy."

Sean's mouth twitched. MPRI was founded by General Lewis, a retired general in the US military, with the shadow of the DuPont family behind it. Yes, it was Rockefeller.

"How many are they?"

"More than 2,000, almost all of them are the army, with a small number of armed helicopters, and no navy."

"Don't worry, in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, as long as you want, MPRI can't grab you, you have enough first-mover advantage, and the Umbrella guided missile destroyer formation can perform many medium-sized and even large-scale missions. This is MPRI. Or any other emerging military contractor is absolutely incomparable, the umbrella dominates the market." Little John smiled and gestured with a thumb, "Oh yes, there are also short-range ballistic missile formations, which are very good."

Sean tactically leaned back, (ˉ▽￣～)Cut~~.

It's just that the navy burns so much money.

"Okay, I have received your compliment, tell me, what kind of tasks can be taken, I will listen."

"Let's talk about the latest one." Little John stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then continued: "The US military is going to build a new naval base in Morocco, an air force base, this You did a beautiful job, and the old guys in the military are happy."

Sean nodded with a smile. He also thought it was very beautiful. It was originally planned to have only one naval base.

"It's not like there is a base. It takes a long time to build a U.S. military base, and the construction team is also a cooperative unit of the military, you know."

"In this process, a lot of people are needed to carry out security work to prevent the enemy from destroying and exploring. This requires 24-hour guards, and the range is so large, at least 300 people."

"This manpower can be from the military or outsourced. Coincidentally, you have a lot of people here. For the price, 2 million per month is a very reasonable figure."

Sean thought for a while, 300 people, excluding salary and logistical support, there are still half of the profits, the cost of the logistical umbrella is very low, 300 US dollars per person per month is enough, it is a garrison mission, and there is no danger.

Is it possible to lower the salary for such a non-dangerous task?

Like half?

Sean couldn't help rubbing his chin, what is capitalist behavior!

If the military sends its own personnel, 3 million per month may not be enough...

It's public!

"Done!" Sean asked with a smile, "Is there any more?"

"More!" Little John laughed: "For example, here in Syria, the embassy and the security work of the military and government personnel, the Kurds, you know, the branch is in YLK, YL, Syria, the border area between Turkey and four countries, the military And the government has always been in touch with them, supporting independence movements at any time, there are many short-term tasks.”

"Military intelligence missions in the YLS and YL, in Yemen, some material **** missions in Afghanistan, training and armed support for the opposition in Libya, and so on, there are too many."

"For the military, this kind of small task is cumbersome, completely unpredictable, and very troublesome, but for private military contractors, it's simple, collect money, do things, and even if it fails, it will be refunded according to the contract at most. A portion of the money will do, it’s too simple.”

"If there had been private contractors before, Mr Reagan would not have been involved in supplying weapons to YL."

"You really should have started a security company earlier instead of selling fake wine!" Weinberg reluctantly spread his hands, good defense minister, gone!

Xiao Enha burst out laughing, selling weapons to YL, Yuri can do it.

Now Urui is the largest private arms dealer in South America, whether it is cheap and easy-to-use Chinese equipment, fine American goods, or a hand-held tractor, a must-have artifact for mechanization in the rainforest area, what you want!

Home delivery, the mission must be achieved!

In Southeast Asia, Neil is not only a guarantee company, but also extends his hand to the arms market. Whether you are a drug criminal or an anti-government armed force, no matter what you want, as long as you give the money, the goods will be delivered to you.

The reason why he dared to shout like this is because Sean's shipping company and port company cooperated with the shipping network throughout the Caribbean Sea and Southeast Asia to send some arms. It was very simple.

"Well, there is indeed a lot of work to be done. I didn't develop the umbrella well before." Sean spread his hands and admitted his mistake.

"You think this is over?" Weinberg pursed his lips and smiled.

"Uh...or else?" Sean shrugged.

"There is more cooperation between government departments!" Weinberg said with a smile: "This world is not only the United States, the United Kingdom, the East, and most countries and regions are actually in constant wars, and government visits are not always the president or the secretary of state. Officials are the most."

"When they visit Africa, the Caribbean, South America, the Middle East, etc., they need a large number of professional escorts. This is a huge number, and the CIA is not willing to be responsible for these tasks. Well, there is no A department is willing to take charge of this kind of work.”

"The salary is too low to talk about, the danger is too high, it will expose myself to the public, and there is no oil and water."

"Oh, this is not a problem for us at all, no one will try to bribe the security company, and we are not afraid to reveal our appearance." Sean nodded, "Anything else?"

"Of course." Weinberg continued: "The training of police departments in various cities, do you know how many police officers there are in the United States? In New York, there are more than 30,000 people who retire every month, and new people come in every month. , Police is a very dangerous job, not only newcomers need to receive strict training, old police also need to undergo professional training from time to time.”

"And our police and contract employment system, the police's own training department is just... lousy!"

"The police need training, and the military actually needs a lot of training. Not all problems can be solved by a boot camp. Professional training programs and venues are in great demand." Little John added, "The military Operating costs are high.”

This time, without waiting for Sean to continue to ask, Shen Bi took over the conversation and said: "You think this is over, and it is also commercial. Due to some inconvenient reasons, there are many pirates in the world, and there is a market demand for shipping protection. The volume has soared, and the market is very chaotic at the moment.”

Sean rolled his eyes.

"Do you know how many companies the US, Europe has in places like Africa and South America? Do you know how many armed escorts they need?"

"At least more than 500,000!"

"So much!" Sean was startled.

"It's still too little to say. In fact, before the rise of the umbrella, there was already a big market for mercenaries. There is a magazine in the United States called "Mercenary", which has been around since 1975. The mercenary organization is, um, illegal publications, but it sells a lot in a certain range, such as the world's first small mercenary group, the Arctic Fox!"

"It's just that the market is chaotic, and no one has carefully counted how big this market is, but now there is a protective umbrella, and several orders of 1 billion US dollars have made many people around the world see the prospect of the mercenary market. Naturally, someone will analyze it. ,predict."

"This is also the reason why so many military contracts were established all of a sudden. You wouldn't really think it was purely for national interests, would you?" Shen Bi deliberately looked at Sean with contempt.

Sean sucked in a breath, for money, it would be even worse!

There is a common phenomenon in the entire Western society, that is, if a soldier's combat power is 5 during his service, then once he retires, his combat power will be doubled immediately, and everyone will be superhuman.

This is particularly prominent in Mexico and Colombia, and Umbrella has a deep understanding of it. The Mafia developed by the High Sparrow in Colombia, except for the second-line personnel who have withdrawn from the umbrella, most of the backbones are retired police officers, soldiers, and special forces in Colombia.

After all, during your service, the money you earn is very small, and even if you die, the pension will be pitiful, and the remaining orphans, widows and mothers will 100% be reduced to the poor. Losses, will surely retaliate against the combatants of the time.

Never expect high-level military or police officers in these two countries to withhold personal information, your family will definitely suffer retaliation.

Therefore, when exchanging fire with drug criminals, it is a mess, and the tactical movements are old standards.

And once you retire, you will immediately receive a new job offer. The salary is only a few times that of the government department. You will never have to worry about the government's retaliation to your family.

Therefore, many times the same group of people exchanged fire, and they were still former teammates a few days ago.

It would be a ghost if the fighting power could be exerted.

"Currently, the results of several commercial agencies I have predicted are that the global mercenary or military security business market exceeds $100 billion!"

"Pfft, how much!" Sean spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"100 billion, it's just not fully developed, it's just a lot more. The data comes from several large accounting firms and banks." Shen Bi said with a serious face: "You have to understand that mercenaries are illegal, so they are very opaque. , only the accounting firms and banks that understand the money market best have a say."

"In a diamond mine in Africa, the competition between several companies or tribes relies on mercenaries. According to the information we have obtained, Angola alone, because of the competition for diamond mines, spends more than $300 million."

"Other gem mines, oil fields, gold, silver and other precious metal mines, you know, there are no **** laws in Africa, guns are the yardstick for everything here, the mining area is under your control today, and it may be changed tomorrow. In this place, the labor cost is almost negligible, and the rest is how to hire more and better security personnel." Shen Bi tutted, really didn't know if he didn't investigate, and was shocked when he investigated.

What Sean didn't know was that after the Gulf War in his previous life, the U.S. military occupied YLK but encountered various difficulties, bloodletting with a knife, and heavy losses. As a result, Lao Bu stepped down. This made the government and the military realize some problems, and the military contracting market entered the development stage. fast lane.

After September 11, 2001, the military contracting market entered an explosive period. At its peak, the market once reached more than 560 billion US dollars.

In 2015, British G4S became the world's largest security company, with more than 620,000 employees, and its number of employees ranked third among private companies in the world, after Walmart and Foxconn Group.

There are tens of thousands of security companies in the UK, and the number of legal private guards on the list reaches 250,000, and there are even more who are not on the list, while the British police have a total of 150,000...

"Well, it seems that we have underestimated this market." Sean shook his head while sighing.

"Yes, who would have thought of it, such a thing." Shen Bi also sighed.

The faces of John Jr. and Weinberg next to them were also full of surprise. They could only think of what jobs the umbrella company could take over, but they really had no idea how big the global military contracting market was.

The figure of 100 billion also frightened the two of them. You must know that military contracting is not selling towels and socks, and the profit of military contracting is not less than 100%.

Doesn't that mean...

hiss! ! !

"Okay, then we have to discuss the issue of the reorganization of the umbrella." Sean clapped his hands and said loudly: "First, what departments does the company need? I think it is the logistics department, the sales department, the war department, the procurement department, The Department of Transportation, the Department of Medicine…”

"Okay, don't show off!" Shen Bi glanced at Sean contemptuously again, "The last few can be completely classified into logistics."

Having said that, ignoring the black-faced Sean, Shen Bi looked at Little John, "After all, a company that focuses on military combat, can the system be built according to the military?"

Little John nodded, "Of course, at present, there are not many fighters, as long as we simplify and retain the backbone, if we really develop into more troops than a country, then we can expand the department at that time. This cuts down on unnecessary employees and expenses, and leaves enough room for future promotions.”

"What is professionalism!" Shen Bi pointed at Little John, but looked at Sean.

The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, and his forehead was full of black lines. He found out that there have been a lot of big moves in the UK recently. Lorraine and Shen Bi, the two British guys, are very jumpy!

This arrogance must be destroyed!

The world's first private military contractor can only and must be himself!

After research, the company mechanism of the umbrella private military security contractor abandoned the business model of the normal company and was formed based on the existing structure of the military.

It is only divided into two parts: operations and logistics, and there is no sales department.

The combat department is subdivided into three parts: combat, intelligence, and staff.

The main battle is divided into two parts: the navy and the army.

Because the Air Force currently only has helicopters, it is divided, some follow the Navy, and some follow the Army, and will not be combined unless necessary.

The Intelligence Unit, as its name suggests, was responsible for gathering available intelligence on a global scale, and Armstrong's consulting firm was reorganized and expanded into the Intelligence Unit.

There are certain changes in the staff, which is mainly responsible for assessing the risks of receiving tasks to evaluate the tasks, as well as the changes that may be encountered during the execution of the tasks, to make contingency plans for the captain of the execution team.

The reason why the sales department is cancelled is because you can't come to your door and tell anyone, you are very dangerous, someone is going to kill you, hire us to protect your safety...

The business is completely through advertising and publicity to let people who need it come to the door. The evaluation has a staff department, and the approval has a regional leader and a secretarial team. The specific choice of who is to perform is determined by the nature of the task, the requirements of the sponsor, and the expertise of the subordinate team.

Of course, it is impossible for the person in charge of the region to be unaware of his own work, and the person in charge also has KPIs!

The other is the back office.

The logistics department will be very large, divided into two groups: transportation and procurement.

Transportation: As the name suggests, it is mainly to transport the team that needs to perform the task to the destination, and there must be a transportation network by sea, land and air.

The reason why it is so troublesome is that the combat teams all carry familiar weapons and equipment, and many people have modified firearms.

This is desperate work, and weapons and equipment must be at hand.

Whether it is a gun, a cannon, or a bazooka, you will not be allowed to carry weapons whether it is civil aviation or shipping. Therefore, the logistics department needs to have its own airport, shipping or land transportation network.

Purchasing: go up to all kinds of missiles, planes, cannons, guns, ammunition, intermediate medical equipment, clothing, shoes and hats below.

A good army boots and socks can keep you from taking off your shoes for a few days in the field at critical moments without getting athlete's foot. You can't imagine what it would be like to sit on the ground and pick your feet crazily.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as butt-wiping paper, need to be purchased. The procurement is certainly not as complicated as the U.S. military, but compared with many small countries, it is too much.

That's right, Shimi!

In addition to transportation and procurement, the logistics group also established two lower-level agencies, medical, maintenance, and legal.

Medical care generally cooperates with local hospitals, and there are usually medical soldiers in the combat team, and it is best to be able to send them to local hospitals.

If the local conditions are harsh and the scale of the battle is large enough, a field medical team is built.

The maintenance team has fewer people, mainly for emergency repairs of large equipment, helicopters, tanks, and electronic equipment. If you can't find someone else, Deyang can provide equipment maintenance anywhere in the world, even the most advanced fighter jets can be repaired. But, Deyang's fees are so **** expensive.

Finally, there is the legal department. In addition to the American lawyers at the headquarters, when performing tasks in different regions, they must hire local legal personnel as consultants. The law is like a bitch's belt, which can be loose or tight.

In the end, it depends on how to unblock it. With the help of local people, many things can be solved easily.

Small problems can be solved by themselves, so don't bother Sean again.

In addition to the two departments of operations and logistics, there are also the personnel department and the finance department that are exclusively managed by the boss, Sean.

The Personnel Department is responsible for recruiting fighters from all over the world, and will carry out missions around the world in the future, and will no longer recruit only the US military.

For example, for the mission in Morocco, it is completely possible to recruit a group of Moroccan retired soldiers, with the US military as the backbone and Moroccans as the branches and leaves. This structure is more suitable for performing related tasks in Morocco.

At least the language, culture and other aspects are consistent, which can reduce the hostility of the local people, increase the efficiency of work, and greatly reduce the cost.

The Moroccan army does not need to pay overseas mission allowances.

The Moroccan contract can be signed every three years. After the construction of the navy and air force base is completed, so many people are not needed.

In other words, the employees of the umbrella now have no contract term... Little John and Shen Bi were stunned when they knew this.

Sean could only spread his hands. The original purpose of the umbrella was to legally hold guns and protect the counterfeit wine business and site. What he did were all illegal activities. How could there be a contract period?

It's a legal gang at all, and Sean is going to give them old age.

Later, although there were more people, Sean took them to do more illegal things... What kind of contracts are they doing!

Like Robert A. Owens in command of the battleship, can Sean let him get out when his contract expires?

This matter can only be left to the Ministry of Personnel to slowly find a solution. A reasonable contract and salary structure can greatly increase the income level of the umbrella.

After the establishment of the framework of each department is completed, Sean looks at the umbrella company again, wow, it is formalized at once!

Tactical lean back, what is the world's first private military contractor.JPG

Here~www.NovelMTL.com~ Little John and Weinberg's tasks are temporarily over, and the framework has been established, but where to start the transformation, that is Shen Bi's performance moment.

"In terms of the current umbrella, the reorganization should start with the formation of the personnel department and the finance department."

"The personnel department should re-formulate all the existing employee contracts and divide them into different grades and different reward and punishment systems. At the same time, the financial department will also conduct a large-scale sorting out of the existing financial system."

"After the personnel rights and financial rights are clear, the branches are established according to the continent. After the continent-level branch is established, the main business country branch is established. On this basis, we can divide the business and calculate the scale of the war department, and on this basis. recruiting.”

"The establishment of logistics can also be more orderly, have a priority, and avoid waste while improving efficiency."

Shen Bi talked eloquently, filling the muscles on the basis of the frame, and doing it in sequence, making Sean suddenly bright and slapped: Yes, that's what I thought!

hetui!
