Chapter 116 What's the situation
The Aziqiya Barracks were extremely vigilant. Gao Yang and the others could no longer drive the car directly to the door. They had to get off when there was still five hundred meters away. They passed a line of defense composed of barbed wire and sandbags before they arrived at the door of the Aziqiya Barracks.
With the aim of the machine gun, Gao Yang and his team walked to the old place where they recruited mercenaries at the barracks, but at this time there were no mercenaries surrounding them, only five people who were alone in Gao Yang and the others.
As the government forces are getting worse, more and more mercenaries choose to leave or work for the opposition, but the advantage of the bad situation is that Gaddafi can only give higher prices to attract mercenaries, especially for elite mercenaries, Gaddafi is willing to spend money.
Seeing Gao Yang and the other five appear, the people in charge of recruitment were very excited and took the initiative to say hello to them: "Come here, are you free mercenaries or mercenaries?"
Gao Yang walked over and said, "We are the Satan mercenary group and participated in the battle of Missurata."
The person in charge of recruiting held a tablet computer in his hand, reached out to scratch the computer for a while, and shouted: "Have you participated in the Battle of Misurata, right? Let me see, the Satan Mercenary Group has found it. Your evaluation is pretty good, it should be said that it is very good. The three commanders have given you full marks. You will get the maximum salary. Welcome back."
Gao Yang looked at Grolev and whispered: "This feeling is so strange. When did they start to select mercenaries in this way? Why do I feel like I am applying for a clerk position instead of coming to war?"
Grolev shrugged and said, "Who knows, it's the first time I've encountered such a thing. Maybe they want to feel the charm of high technology, collect and organize all the information of the mercenary group. Ha, is this considered high technology? But I think you can get the highest commission by reporting the name, which is pretty good."
"You can get a defensive mission, which is already full of personnel, but given your performance is good, you can still join in, but there is a requirement that you must accept the command of a commander and you must not evacuate without authorization until he orders to retreat."
Gao Yang was a little hesitant. He could not accept the command of a stranger, especially a commander with a low level. But then again, this time the mission was to guard a big man or an important place. If you want to fight, you would fight. If you see the situation was not good, you would withdraw. It would be impossible for others to spend money to hire such a mercenary.
After hesitating for a while, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "What kind of mission is it? Whose command should we accept?"
"The mission is kept secret, and I don't know who your commander is. One thing I need to make clear is that your commander will not interfere with your combat methods. He only asks and supervises you to stick to your position. That's all, if you cannot agree to the most basic requirements, you will not be able to get this task."
Gao Yang felt that this requirement was acceptable, and he said immediately: "How much is the commission? How to settle it?"
"Based on the scale and performance of your mercenary group, the commission is 20,000 US dollars a day, but this is the basic commission, and there are also bonuses and rewards. The amount of the bonus depends on the scale of the battle. The minimum starting from 10,000 US dollars a day, and there is no limit on the top, so there is no need to mention the reward, maybe one million, maybe one hundred yuan, I believe you can understand this."
After nodding, Gao Yang said to Grolev several times: "Do you think this is the case? Can you take this job?"
Grolev said in a deep voice: "The biggest problem is to obey people's command. This is very troublesome, but for defense tasks, this is very normal. No matter who accepts defense tasks, it is impossible for anyone to be too free. I think I can take it."
Li Jinfang said: "The Russians are right. The protectors will run away after going to war. Who would like to have such a person? Their conditions are not too much. Take this job."
Gao Yang also wanted to take on this mission. Since no one objected, he immediately said to the person who recruited mercenaries: "No problem, we have taken this mission. Should we go there now?"
"Just here, go in, someone will arrange for you."
Gao Yang was surprised to find that they didn't have to go there. He thought they would be sent to a secret place, and the guards might never know whose target it was, but it turned out that he guessed wrongly.
The Aziziya barracks cover an area of four hectares, surrounded by tall and thick cement walls, with various monitors and sensors on the tops. The inside and outside are barbed wire and soldiers with full-fitting clothes. Air defense missile launchers are also everywhere. There is also a tank not far away, defending the Aziziya barracks like iron barrels.
Gao Yang couldn't understand that Azizia was already the strongest place in Libya's defense, and he still wanted them to do what they hired to do. Although Azizia's barracks have been bombed many times, they are still the safest place in Libya now.
There are also maze-like walls and multiple entrances inside the barracks. Each entrance is guarded by a large number of soldiers. Gao Yang and his team quickly entered the place they had not entered last time. Every time they passed an entrance, they would undergo a check. But what surprised Gao Yang was that the satellite phone they carried was not taken away.
After being taken to the edge of a large open green space inside the barracks, Gao Yang and the others stopped. At this time, Gao Yang looked around and saw a huge green space with several large tents scattered. There was a building near the edge of the green space. There was a small house at about two hundred meters in the four corners of the building. Outside the small house was a temporary position built by sandbags. Gao Yang saw that there were at least two anti-aircraft machine guns and two anti-aircraft cannons on each position, and all the positions and houses had camouflage nets.
It can be seen that these four positions are to protect the not-so-tall building on the green space. Gao Yang vaguely felt something was wrong, because from his understanding, this place should be Gaddafi's famous Azizia Palace.
Gao Yang and the others didn't wait long. A man with the rank of lieutenant colonel came over to take over Gao Yang and the others, signed a piece of paper, and sent away the person who brought Gao Yang and the others, the lieutenant colonel stared at Gao Yang and the others for a few glances, and said, "Come with me."
There was no nonsense. The lieutenant colonel took Gao Yang and the others to a position in the northwest, and took them directly to the door of a small house, pointing to the small door and saying, "My name is Ibrahim. You will be commanded by me in the next day. From now on, you will live in this room. If you have no tasks or permission, you will not leave the house. Someone will provide you with your food and someone will explain the specific matters to you."
After saying that, the lieutenant colonel had no more words and went straight away, turned two turns and entered a small room, and closed the door heavily.
Gao Yang and the others looked at each other and walked into the hut they arranged for them. The hut they wanted to live in had no door, only one less than half a meter wide, not reaching an exit of one meter five. There were about eight square meters inside the hut, and two beds with upper and lower bunk beds were placed inside. There were nothing else, but the shooting holes around and the concrete walls with a thickness of one meter were clearly shown that the real function of this hut was a bunker.
Cui Bo exhaled softly and said, "Living in a house like this is at least very safe."
Gao Yang said with a sad face: "Stop talking, you are stupid. It's obvious that we have been cheated, okay? This is definitely Gaddafi's palace, the key target of NATO bombing, and what we guard is simply an empty target."
Grolev also smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that's the case. I bet Gaddafi is definitely not here. Otherwise, the guards here would be too lax, and no one told us what to do. Just throw us here and forget it. This is definitely a trap and we were fooled."
Li Jinfang said with a grievance: "If Gaddafi wasn't here, why did he get so many people to come? This is unreasonable. Do you think Gaddafi is playing military tactics? If it is the truth, it is the truth."
Gao Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Gaddafi was stupid and lived here, waiting to be bombed. Besides, Gaddafi likes to live in tents the most, it's no secret. Look at whether there are beautiful guards outside the tents on the green space and whether there are camels. If not, then Gaddafi would definitely not be here."
You can see the position built by the sandbag when you look out from the shooting hole. After looking out for a few glances, Grolev said in a deep voice: "There are at least fifty people outside, all of them seem to be in the position, but everyone seems to be relaxed. Well, we can confirm that we are guarding Gaddafi's empty building."
"Well, can we still get the money?"
Fry didn't care whether he was guarding an empty target, he only cared about whether he could still get the money.
Gao Yang smiled and said, "It should be possible, but it's a pity that I have to tell you that even if they don't give us a penny, we have no choice. Look at the guards outside. If we dare to make trouble, they will kill us without hesitation."
As soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, someone outside the door whispered loudly: "Hello, my poor bad guys, can you let me in? I'm pretty good looking at the poor people who have been arrested again. I should knock on the door out of politeness, but there is no door here for me to knock on."
Gao Yang frowned and said loudly: "Please come in"
A tall black man bent down and entered the hut with difficulty. The black man was more than 1.9 meters tall, wearing an American desert camouflage, and his shiny big bald head was almost about to reach the two-meter-high roof, which looked extremely oppressive.
Although he was bald, the black man had a slightly beard, and his gray beard showed that the man was no longer young.
