Chapter 1630: Bad luck

Su Shoude really didn't expect that his big brother had been having such a rough time lately.

By comparison, being locked up here could be considered peaceful.

Although his personal freedom was restricted and his living conditions were a bit hard, at least he didn't have to live in gunfire all day, and it was in a place as far away and war-torn as Syria.

The two brothers were filled with emotion for a time. The two who had fought each other since childhood suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other at this moment.

At this time, Hong Wu's men had already sent two bottles of 56-degree Erguotou. The brothers, who were sighing, simply picked up the white wine bottles and drank them.

Both of them hadn't tasted wine for a long time, and coupled with the feeling of depression and emotion in their hearts, they soon got drunk and fell asleep leaning against the corner of the wall.

On the other side, Ye Chen finished explaining to Hong Wu and asked him to keep these people under strict guard, and then left the dog farm and returned to his home in Tang Chen Yi Pin.

The major defeat of the Wanlong Palace in Syria was now triggering a devastating chain reaction.

Just one day later, this matter was spreading wider and wider internationally, and even the Chinese media rarely reported this news.

The news stated that the overseas illegal mercenary organization Wanlong Palace intended to infringe on a sovereign country, and was subsequently captured in its entirety. This was the greatest victory in that country's sovereign wars in recent years, greatly encouraging the morale of the country's people.

Defining the Wanlong Palace as an overseas illegal mercenary organization was not exclusive to Chinese media.

Almost every country in the world that reported this news held the same attitude.

Because, in the face of countries, a sovereign country is the foundation of the rule of law.

And armed organizations like the Wanlong Palace stood completely on the opposite side of the rule of law.

Everyone is a sovereign country, so naturally, they would strongly condemn this behavior.

This is like the countries of the world, although there are various competitions and various intrigues, the attitude toward Somali pirates is the same, that is, resolute crackdown, never lenient.

Precisely because of this, the situation of the Wanlong Palace internationally was becoming more and more passive.

Africa, and other countries in the Middle East that hired the Wanlong Palace, immediately ended cooperation with the Wanlong Palace and drew a line.

Yesterday everyone was comrades-in-arms fighting side by side, and today they immediately issued an ultimatum, requiring Wanlong Palace soldiers to leave the country within a time limit, and absolutely not allowing any Wanlong Palace soldier to stay in the country.

With this, the Wanlong Palace fell into a huge operational crisis.

If the Wanlong Palace is an OEM factory with tens of thousands of employees, now, this OEM factory has lost all orders and completely lost its source of income.

However, the salary level of these mercenaries is extremely high. Even if they are not fighting, they must pay a high base salary according to a certain proportion, otherwise, they will immediately leave the Wanlong Palace and join other mercenary organizations with orders.

Thus, the day after Ye Chen returned, the soldiers of the Wanlong Palace collectively made demands to the senior management.

If the Wanlong Palace cannot arrange work for them in a short time, then either the Wanlong Palace pays their remuneration on a daily basis according to 70% of the normal salary; or they will immediately leave the Wanlong Palace.

When the three major battle kings under his command reported this information to Wan Pojun, he, who was already anxious, became even more worried.

Wan Pojun gritted his teeth and cursed at everyone: "Trash! All of you are trash! How do you middle and high-level officers usually lead the team? At the critical moment, why don't they have any collective consciousness or collective sense of honor?"

"Why didn't anyone take the initiative to express their willingness to accompany the Wanlong Palace through the difficulties?"

"At this time, they are only thinking about money. Even white-eyed wolves aren't as shitty as them, right?"

Lu Haotian hurriedly said: "Palace Master, our subordinates themselves are mercenaries..."

"These people used to be special forces in various countries. When they served and were loyal to their own motherland, they indeed had a strong collective consciousness and collective sense of honor..."

"But... but that's not a feeling born out of thin air..."

"That is the love and loyalty to the motherland that they have accumulated from childhood to adulthood, for twenty or thirty years, or even thirty or forty years..."

"But after they became mercenaries, their purpose was very simple, just to make money..."

Lu Haotian said so much, couldn't help but sigh, and added: "This is like those women who fall into the red dust. They talk about feelings before they go down to the sea, but since they came out to sell, they are here to make money. If we don't give money and still want to talk about feelings with them, it's indeed not very realistic..."

Wan Pojun's expression turned red and white upon hearing this.

He naturally knew what Lu Haotian meant, and he understood it too.

Not giving money and still wanting mercenaries to serve you is daydreaming.

However, he really couldn't accept greater losses now.

If everyone leaves, how will the Wanlong Palace develop in the future?

It's just that these people are really a bit too heartless.

Just after a little problem, they immediately demanded that they must pay their normal salary according to 70%.

For these tens of thousands of people, the daily salary cost exceeds one hundred million US dollars.

Besides, the fifteen thousand people in Syria have to spend money to find ways to rescue them, plus the huge losses caused during the war, this amount will increase geometrically.

The most shitty thing is that countries are now unwilling to cooperate with the Wanlong Palace, and the subsequent income is almost completely cut off. Who knows how long it will take to have a turning point?

If calculated like this, the total losses before and after this time, billions of US dollars might not be able to suppress it.

Thinking of this, Wan Pojun felt extremely uncomfortable.

The Wanlong Palace encountered such a major difficulty, and he couldn't even go to solve it immediately. This feeling of being beyond reach made him even more painful.

At this time, Lu Haotian suggested: "Palace Master, I think you might as well agree to their request. In extraordinary times, spending more costs is acceptable. The American Blackwater Company has always wanted to dig our people. They have orders from the White House in many countries in the Middle East and are short of manpower. If we don't stabilize the military heart, I'm afraid they will jump to Blackwater directly!"

Wan Pojun nodded with a cold face and said: "Just do as you say. Let everyone rest after withdrawing from the front line. During the rest period, we will pay 70% of the remuneration. Other things, wait for me to go back!"

After speaking, Wan Pojun looked at the date on his watch, his expression silent, and said: "Today is April 2nd, and there are only three days left until the Qingming Festival. I will try to solve the problem on the Qingming Festival on April 5th. On April 6th, or April 7th at the latest, we can set off for Syria!"

"No problem!" Lu Haotian said without hesitation: "By then, we will kill our way to Mount Ye Ling together. After forcing the Ye family to give up Mount Ye Ling, we will move your parents' coffins in on April 6th!"

Wan Pojun waved his hand and said coldly: "Time is tight, don't wait until April 6th. The day after tomorrow, you will go with me to invite my parents' ashes out and put them into the coffin I prepared. On the 5th, carry my parents' coffins to Mount Ye Ling! It just so happens to let my parents witness on the spot how I make the Ye family kneel down and then smash Ye Changying to ashes!" ===== CHAPTER 1631 =====
