ent. How can I, who is so inadequate, compete with them”Everyone in the class nodded in agreement. Yes, they were four outstanding individuals, how could you possibly stand on stage and run for class...Ye Fan remained calm, engaging in a psychological battle with Kunta at this moment. Especially when it came to such sensitive topics, Kunta couldn't help but feel tense. Moreover, he hadn't established more trust with Ye Fan.
Kunta, who came to power relying on the military, is particularly sensitive about this topic. In his view, this is a trap, or even a conspiracy. As soon as he met Ye Fan, he brought up the matter of the armed forces. This guy, wouldn't he want to infiltrate my army
However, if Ye Fan's words were true. If his own army's strength could be improved, his own position would become more secure. For Kunka, who knew the importance of military power, this was a huge temptation.
He stared intently at Ye Fan, hoping to glean more information from his expression in order to gauge the truthfulness of his words.
"Just a few dozen people would be enough," Ye Fan said faintly. "I can help you operate your funds and let them continue to make money. But I'm worried that some people will cause me trouble. However, because of my identity, I can't personally make things too big. I only need a few dozen people, even just a few each time would be enough. Warriors with good enough skills, when I need them, you can dispatch these ten or so to me, and then give them a hard beating. After that, they immediately withdraw. This way, no one will know who did it."
Based on current information, Ye Fan is facing extremely powerful forces. He has even provoked the Green Gang and the San Kou Group in succession. These two underground organizations have significant influence worldwide. If the black hand behind this is found, a war with them is inevitable.
This way, he would face different powerful opponents. So, he wanted to find more help. If he had Kunka, the warlord, who could provide Ye Fan with those bloodthirsty black warriors at any time… Then if he wanted to deal with anyone, he could just ask Kunka to send people from Africa. After the fight, they would run away... And the other party, after being hit hard, wouldn't even know who did it!
What a wonderful thing!
Furthermore, the mercenaries Andre has hired here cost a lot of money. Besides, these underground forces' mercenaries are still inferior to regular trained soldiers. Anyway, it's all about exchanging benefits. Moreover, Andre also wants to expand his business to South Africa. Having an oligarch like Kunka as an ally will bring great benefits to his business.
Furthermore, aiding Kunta's armed forces would also generate substantial profits. Kunta would gain a continuously combat-ready force, while Andre would receive allies and profits. With Kunta as an ally, engaging with internal factions within the empire, including gangs like the Qing Gang and the Sanzu from the Island Nation, would become much easier.
"What are you arming my army with The Xia Empire" Kunka shook her head dismissively. "I don't want outsiders interfering in my army."
At this point, he once again pulled the handle on the meatball-shaped water heater, letting the hot water surge against his hefty frame. It seemed like he wasn't eager to continue the conversation.
"Of course not relying on the Xia Dynasty." Ye Fan looked straight at Kunka and said, "You should have heard of Andrei from Tsarist Russia. I can help you make a connection, he also wants to come to South Africa to do business."
"Andre" Kunka frowned, he had obviously heard of this internationally renowned arms tycoon. His face was now uncertain, weighing the depth of Ye Fan and Andre's relationship.
“Yes, that’s the number one arms dealer.” Ye Fan also pulled the trigger on the thermos and, enjoying the hot water's impact, continued, “I’ve cooperated with him many times, and our relationship is pretty good. I think he would be very interested in meeting you too.”
At this time, Kunka was like a cunning old fox, constantly sizing up Ye Fan. To be honest, the proposal held too much temptation for him. He had risen to his current position thanks to the armed forces under his command. However, in this place where military coups were frequent, he faced the constant danger of being replaced. But if he could fully arm his army, his strength would be more than just a level up.
As the saying goes, "the barrel of a gun decides who holds power." As long as you have enough chips, those opposition groups will have to think twice. Being an oligarch for a few more years could bring unimaginable benefits. It seems arranging dozens of soldiers to fight for him wouldn't be a big deal either.
Furthermore, he has an endless supply of people at his disposal in Kunka. He could train them for a few days and they would become excellent warriors. How much does a warrior cost anyway Compared to the profits he stands to gain, it's insignificant.
At this moment, Kunka was truly moved.
"We can talk about the price..." Kunka smiled, if it was only a few dozen warriors... he didn't care.
The final agreed price was that Ye Fan increased his annual payment from twenty million to twenty-three million... Ye Fan's increase wasn't significant. Because he knew, if this guy extorted and then drastically lowered the price afterwards, then with his greed, he might continue blackmailing.
As for the warriors offered by Kunka, the price was so cheap that Ye Fan was almost stunned!!
A soldier's deployment costs one hundred dollars, if he dies or is completely disabled... then a soldier would be compensated with five hundred dollars in pension!
That is to say, even if the situation was dire and one of the deployed people died, Ye Fan would have only lost six hundred dollars.
Six hundred dollars... in the United States, it's just a week's income for many families.
Actually, for Andre, sending these warriors to fight for Ye Fan was not a big loss. Compared with the benefits, it was negligible. Besides, Ye Fan didn't take these people away, but when needed, Kunka would directly send troops from South Africa to fly over. After the fight, they ran back.
With such a flexible and thrilling fighting force, even if we face the Green Gang in the future, we can hit them with several punches without letting them know what's happening. Moreover, it would be impossible to trace the origins of these mercenaries.
As for the Three Mouths Group, Ye Fan still wasn't willing to have them participate in combat. It was no trouble at all to smuggle a boat of people into the Empire, and with She Kun on the border line, these people could come and go as they pleased. However, entering the Island Nation was a bit more complicated. The key issue was that the Three Mouths Group had a very important protective force: ninjas.
Ninjas are super-fighters cultivated by the Sannin. They are divided into lower, middle, and upper ranks. Over the years, the Sannin's power has been able to expand globally thanks to these ninjas who have expanded their territory. Just like paratroopers, when they want to occupy a region, they send a large number of ninjas for a lightning strike, destroying local underground forces in the process.
So far, the expansion model of the San Kou group has been almost invincible. The conditions proposed by Ye Fan and Kunka now are actually similar to this model. Deploying troops directly from Kunka is like sending airborne troops, coming and going like the wind, and it's difficult to investigate them after they finish fighting.
Even with the power of the Green Gang, they wouldn't be a match for Kunka. It simply wouldn't be on the same level.
But Ye Fan wasn't sure if these black warriors could defeat the combat troops of the Three-Mouth Group.
However, it's still very easy to cause them some trouble. Ninjas aren't mass-produced; every one that dies is a loss. At worst, I'll just handle things myself then.
Ye Fan didn't expect to harvest so much this time. He not only obtained important information, but also gained powerful assistance...
Next, what else can we learn from Kuncahelped Fan Zhiwei, he could get in touch with the Black Dragon Society. Although he didn't necessarily want to associate with the underworld, it would still be useful. Even if he didn't use it, helpi...
