Siheyuan: A ruthless person who doesn’t talk much and never compromises

After arriving, the inspection team was collectively arranged to stay in the Empire Hotel, and Wang Wenming's security team was arranged to stay in a military camp.

This military camp was provided by the royal family of the Qiha Kingdom.

The scale of the military base is that of a battalion-level combat unit, but the equipment within the base is a bit appalling.

They are all outdated equipment, and most of the weapons and equipment are light firepower equipment, and there are almost no heavy weapons.

Wang Wenming asked everyone to go to the armory, take inventory of the firearms and equipment, and arm themselves first.

In case of emergencies, we are also able to deal with them.

After more than two hours of counting, they managed to equip all 50 security guards with semi-automatic rifles.

Chen Heng reported to Wang Wenming: "Captain, this military base is a complete scrapyard!"

"The armored vehicles inside are all empty shells, with all the internal parts removed!"

"And the artillery, grenade launchers and other things are all broken, and there are only a few bullets in the ammunition depot, not a single shell."

"never mind!"

Wang Wenming sighed helplessly: "These things were originally gifts from others as a token of friendship. How could they be good goods?"

"Even the Qiha Kingdom itself is frantically selling its domestic resources in order to purchase weapons and equipment!"

"Their own weapons and equipment are not enough!"

"Then what should we do?" Chen Heng asked, "We can't deal with those warlords with just these light weapons!"

"The enemy only needs to send out one tank to sweep our security team..."

Wang Wenming thought for a moment and replied, "How about this, Chen Heng? You take your brothers and try to repair the less damaged artillery pieces!"

"See if we can piece together a few usable artillery pieces!"

"It should be possible..."

Chen Heng nodded and said, "If it doesn't work, we can dismantle the two cannons and put them together into one, which can barely be used!"

"But there are no shells..."

"You don't have to worry about that!" Wang Wenming replied, "Hurry up and piece together a few usable artillery pieces!"

"Just tell me the type of shells you need, and I'll find a way to get you a few!"

That night, Chen Heng and others worked overnight to assemble three cannons by disassembling parts.

Two of them were mortars, and one was a 125-caliber heavy artillery.

The next day, Wang Wenming asked Lou Xiao'e to ask the head of the Qiha Kingdom for some artillery shells before signing the contract.

The other side struggled for a long time and squeezed out 7 shells like squeezing toothpaste.

Five of them were mortar shells, and only two were heavy artillery shells.

Seeing this little thing, Yang Xiaohe rolled her eyes in anger.

"This Qiha Kingdom is really stingy. They only gave us two artillery shells. We couldn't even test the artillery.

"Who knows if this cannon can be used?"

Wang Wenming said in a deep voice: "Okay, everyone doesn't need to worry about these insignificant trivial matters anymore!"

"We don't need to worry about the issue of weapons and equipment. The people in the Hongyun Group are more anxious than us!"

"I have already talked to them. Weapons and equipment are being collected intensively and will be in place soon."

"Now, our top priority is to organize the team."

Wang Wenming continued, "In the early stage, the Hongyun Consortium is going to develop the Mosa Oilfield. The Mosa Oilfield is located in the heart of the desert, and the surrounding warlord forces are extremely complicated and intertwined!"

"The Imperial Army will provide the necessary protection for the oil base, but we will still be responsible for the detailed security work ourselves."

Lu Ming asked: "So, you want us to act together with the Imperial Army?"

"That's not it!"

Wang Wenming shook his head: "Currently, the imperial army and the warlord forces are in a state of confrontation, and no full-scale war has broken out!"

"With the Imperial Army's defense line on the periphery, we won't be harassed by the warlords on a large scale."

"But there are still small groups of militias that could pose a threat to our security."

"The locals think we have plundered their resources and are extremely hostile to us!"

"Uh..." As soon as Wang Wenming said this, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely awkward.

After a long while, Yang Xiaohe continued, "How can this be considered plunder? This is clearly cooperation, right?"

"Without the advanced technology brought by foreign companies, the Qiha Kingdom's backward technology would not be able to extract oil on a large scale!"

“Even if it is mined, it will not be able to be sold because of the high cost and lack of competitiveness in the international market.”

Wang Wenming replied: "Yang Xiaohe, you know a lot!"

"But the locals' ideas are completely different from yours!"

"They just feel that we have taken away their resources!"

Yang Xiaohe asked: "Then we can also explain it to them!"

"When the oil is extracted, the Qiha Kingdom will also be able to get a certain percentage of the dividends. Will they give some money to the local people?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Wang Wenming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After the king gets the money, it's still not enough to buy weapons and equipment himself..."

"You still expect the king to distribute the money equally among everyone..."

"If that's the case, then the contradiction will be very difficult to reconcile!"

Wang Wenming said in a deep voice: "So, we must hurry up and expand the security team!"

"The maximum number of people the royal family has given us is no more than 500!"

"We strive to expand the team to 150 people within a month and initially form combat effectiveness!"

"Within the next year, we must organize a security force of no less than 500 people!"

"OK!"

Yang Xiaohe said, "We will immediately recruit another group of brothers from the country!"

"Just find a retired soldier with high military quality..."

"no!"

Wang Wenming decisively shook his head and refused: "According to my plan, the total size of our security team will be around 600 people in the future!"

"Among them, the number of domestic security personnel will not exceed 100, and the rest will be local people!"

“Use local people?”

Yang Xiaohe asked: "Boss, didn't you just say that the locals are extremely hostile to us?"

"They hate us, but you still spend money to hire them. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

"Ha ha……"

Wang Wenming said in a serious tone: "The main reason why the locals hate us is because we have gained huge profits from the locals, and they can't even get a sip of soup!"

"We hire them to get them involved and share a piece of the pie!"

“It may not be possible to resolve the hatred in everyone’s heart, but it can play a certain role, and that’s also good.”
