As a homeless mercenary, John did not have a fixed residence. He collected money from his employer and acted as the employer's driver. After he followed the employer to a place, if the contract expired and he was no longer hired, he would stay in the local area to find the next business. This time the same was true. He had just taken a job and sent the employer to Hakan from another city. Then, he had a complete task and parted ways with the employer. He stayed in Hakan City and waited for a new employer.

According to John himself, there are not many wandering mercenaries like him in Country L, and most of the market here is monopolized by companies. Although these companies do not have overbearing restrictions on the rescuing of wandering mercenaries, living under the shadow of these companies, unless the wandering mercenaries are very strong or have a good reputation, they will really not survive. This means that the orders taken by these companies are big business, and they do not want to compete for some fragmentary work, so that the wandering mercenaries will not go hungry.

In comparison, wandering mercenaries do make more money, especially those who are strong and famous, because the money they earn can be collected into their own pockets. Unlike the mercenaries in the company, part of the commission is actually entered into the company's pockets, but the mercenaries belonging to the company are more guaranteed and the danger is smaller. Even if there is any accident, they will not be left on the streets. The wandering mercenaries may even be in the wild, and there is not even a person to collect the corpse.

As for why John was a wandering mercenary instead of choosing a company to join, in addition to making more money, it was his personality problem. John did not communicate with others very much. He Ping and the other two also saw a point at this time. Ninety percent of the conversations between the four were said by He Ping and the other three. John did not speak very actively, but if others asked him, his answer was very complete, but it was still a bit difficult to ask him to take the initiative to start a topic or join the conversation with the topic.

After negotiated commission with John at the bar, the four of them left the bar together. John also withdrew from the room in another hotel and moved to the same hotel as He Ping and the other three. He was speechless all night. Soon the next day came, and He Ping's arms business was about to officially begin. The first business partner he chose was the Fire Brigade, which was entrenched near Hakan City and was quite large!

Hakan City has a large refinery. The oil pipeline runs across the boundaries of Hakan City. The refinery belongs to the jurisdiction of the government forces, which is something that all civil armed organizations cannot interfere. However, the government forces have no time to manage the oil pipelines in the suburbs. Therefore, they are divided into several sections and occupied by several civil armed organizations. If the government wants to transport oil, they still need to pay tolls to the civil armed organizations occupying the oil pipeline. These civil armed organizations often intercept and sell oil to make money.

Of course, such a good job cannot be without conflict. In fact, the ownership of the oil pipeline is often changed. There are constant battles between civil armed organizations, and the result is a win-win situation. If a civil armed organization guarding a section of oil pipeline is defeated, it can only withdraw from this area and hand over the ownership to another winning organization. When the conflict is fierce, it is not impossible for a section of oil pipeline to change hands every day. Sometimes it is not uncommon for several sections of oil pipeline to change owners at the same time.

The situation in L Country is very helpless. The government forces are not strong enough to include all refineries, oil fields and oil pipelines in their own defense. This gives civilian armed organizations a lot of loopholes. The civilian armed organizations are justified in doing such things. Their reason is that they are helpless. Because if they don’t do this, they will go hungry and want to make money to support their families and have a full meal. The quickest way is to form a civilian armed organization and then work hard on oil.

Country L itself does not have any valuable material reserves except oil, and it is not well developed in agriculture. Under the economic offensive of some countries, they have nothing to support more military industries. As for the inclusion of civilian armed organizations, it is impossible to carry out various reasons such as ethnic and religious. Besides, civilian armed organizations have tasted the sweetness and would rather walk on the tip of the knife than hand over the benefits they may get.

The Fire Brigade is a civilian armed organization with quite good forces in the area of ​​Hakan City. According to John's account, the Fire Brigade has not had any major conflicts in other places in the past few years except for competing with other civilian armed organizations for ownership of the oil pipeline. It has never killed innocent people in this troubled times, and has never done anything to fight against Qin and Chu when cooperating with other civilian armed organizations. It is considered a civilian armed organization with a relatively well-known reputation in this area.

And the most important thing is that John witnessed the process of the Fire Brigade and foreign arms dealers doing business. At that time, the Fire Brigade paid the bill in cash, and did not default or default, nor did he use poisons and drugs to pay the bill, nor did he eat bad things. It was a very pleasant transaction. The boss of the Fire Brigade was very smart and understood who could offend and who could not offend. Obviously, the arms dealer here was the kind of big man who could not offend.

After all, every arms dealer has some background. How can people without background get so many weapons? People like this are very energetic no matter where they are. There is no need to offend them for a little benefit. If they annoy them, they just need to sell a few batches of powerful weapons and equipment to the opponents of the civil armed organization, and they can completely eliminate the civil armed organization that offended them by using the method of driving wolf to swallow tigers and killing people with a knife.

If you can maintain a good relationship with a few very powerful arms dealers, you can get good weapons and equipment at any time. For these civil armed organizations, combat effectiveness is people and guns. In fact, the number and quality of everyone's armed personnel are similar. Then the only difference between combat effectiveness is the quality of equipment. If you can get good weapons, you can win the battle for oil pipelines and get more benefits, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

With John, the full-time driver, He Ping and the other two handed over the driving work to him. The co-pilot position of the truck was large enough to easily accommodate He Ping and Li Yutang. The largest Ouatara sat in the back row. John was obviously very familiar with the roads in this area. In addition to satellite navigation equipment, he quickly left the core area of ​​Hakan City and came to the vicinity of the oil pipeline.

To put it bluntly, the strongholds of these civil armed organizations are villages and towns, and the armed personnel are actually ordinary villagers. However, the land here is barren and there is no big planting. Moreover, the current situation is so chaotic that even if you plant something, you can’t wait for the harvest. Perhaps the land is no longer their own. Therefore, the villagers had no choice but to arm the oil pipeline.

The Fire Travel is no exception. Their stronghold is also a village. If outsiders don’t know, they will not see anything unusual when entering this village. There are dilapidated houses, elderly people basking in the sun, children chasing and playing, and cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and other livestock and poultry. On the surface, it seems to be an ordinary village. As for not seeing young people, it can be explained that young people either go to the field or go to work.

The small roads in the village were not enough for trucks to enter. After rushing to the outside of the village, the four of them got out of the car and walked towards the village. Of course, the four of them were fully armed. It would be fine if they didn't know where this place was. Now they already knew that this was the stronghold of the Fire Brigade. No matter how famous the Fire Brigade is, they should be prepared to avoid any accidents. Similarly, such a car and such a group of people had already spread throughout the village when they came to the village.
