It was not worth it to throw away his life for a measly sum of money.
He still had a bright future ahead of him, and there were countless riches waiting for him to squander. He would not put himself in danger.
In the end, he chose to pay an extra million to have Lynch record the entire operation.
After the young, middle-aged man left, Lynch asked Austin a question, "How long do you think it'll take if we send someone to do this?"
Austin gave an answer almost without thinking. "If they don't hide, we'll be able to clean up all the criminals in a day or two at most."
This was the pride of the Federation soldiers. If the same question was placed in front of the Minister of the Army, Guevra, he might consider how much compensation he should prepare first …
Alright, this was a joke. No matter how bad the Guevara People's Army was, how could it be worse than some of the gangs on the streets?
Just as Lynch was thinking about this, the look in Austin's eyes changed slightly.
With just a few words, six million was in his hands.
She thought it was six million, four million in advance for the operation, and two million in security. She thought that Lynch would definitely not return the two million. She guessed right.
With just a few words, so much money went into Lynch's pocket.
As long as he took out less than a million, he could almost complete this military operation, and the rest would be earned.
This was a capitalist. In their eyes, anything could be linked to wealth. In order to seek more profits, they dared to do anything.
She actually had a slight misunderstanding about Lynch. Perhaps it was because she saw that shameless woman cleaning beside Lynch in the morning that affected her mood.
She thought that Lynch was not a good person, which was why he made the wrong judgment.
Actually, according to the market price, the price of such a military operation was about … 1.2 million.
Every member of the operation bore the risk of dying in another country, and this kind of death would not bring them any glory, so it was not too much for each person to take thirty to fifty thousand or seventy to eighty thousand. This was the money they risked their lives for.
Then, the company would equip them with all kinds of military equipment, weapons, short-range radio walkie-talkies, a ship, a speedboat, and the corresponding landing equipment.
After all, this kind of "military strike" operation in other countries couldn't openly ask others to cooperate and then casually land at an important foreign port.
Not only was that stupid, but it would also cause the target to disappear.
Then, after the completion of the mission, he would pick them up and give them a long vacation.
The budget for the entire military operation was at least 1.2 million. More than half of it was used to pay these people for risking their lives. The rest was used to solve some other problems.
For example, in order to avoid some unexpected disputes, they needed to spend money to get some people to help them clean up their messes, shut some people up, and even make some people disappear forever.
As for the military equipment, they weren't disposable.
Sorry, that's how budgeting works. These are all one-time items. If you feel bad about it, you can take them away after the mission is over …
All of these cost money.
Every military operation of Blackstone Security in the Amelia region, with the cooperation of the local Gefra officials and the military, cost was always high, never less than one million.
Of course, even though this amount of money seemed like a lot, it was much more cost-effective and practical compared to the pension given to the Gefra Army.
Normally, the price of such a military operation was around 1.5 million to 2 million, plus a million deposit.
But this time, Mr. Geronimo took the initiative to put the meat in Lynch's mouth and let him take a bite. He was prepared to spend a lot of money, which was why he could spend money to buy Lynch to stand on his side.
Blackstone Security was currently the largest private military organization in the Federation. In this industry, Lynch deserved to be number one.
If he didn't agree with something, it would become a problem for others in the future.
Spending a few million to make Lynch shut up, it was hard to say who would profit and who would lose.
Soon, Mr. Geronimo found out about this. He didn't mind Lynch biting him with his mouth wide open.
It was only a few million. This amount of money didn't mean anything to him. Whether or not his plan could be completed was the key.
At the same time, the people in Suge who took the goods and killed Mike were enjoying the fruits of this battle.
There were many exquisite goods on the table. Anything from the Federation was very popular here. After all, there was a huge gap that couldn't be crossed in a short time.
There was a good market for things from outside here, but why didn't many foreigners come here to sell their goods?
It was simple. The market hadn't been opened yet.
In layman's terms, there was demand for things, but they couldn't be sold for a good price.
The purpose of merchants was to pursue wealth. In Suge, ordinary people couldn't afford to buy these goods. Those who had a little money would use non-international currency to buy these goods. The money they earned from selling these goods could only be spent locally.
Was there anything that didn't exist outside and only had in Suge?
There was a little, but not much. There were even fewer things that could maintain their value or even make money.
Only a madman would spend two dollars to ship out something that cost one dollar. So even if ordinary people had "money", it was difficult for them to buy things sold by the Federation merchants.
The Federation merchants only accepted precious metals, gems, complete beast hides, and the like. These things were easy to carry, easy to sell, and the price difference was large.
However, the entire local market was only so big. Ordinary families couldn't find that much gold, gems, leather, spices, and the like to trade. So, in general, these foreign merchants only served the truly rich and those who were looking for gold.
This also led to another problem. There was a market, but there was no goods. According to the natural law of the market, there would be a phenomenon of people buying at high prices. So, the things on the table that didn't seem to be worth much in the Federation became very expensive here.
Several gang members had already moved the goods in the warehouse back to their own warehouse. The leader of the gang was a middle-aged man who was close to forty years old. He was slightly plump and had many scars on his body.
He sat on a rattan chair and looked at the goods with a greedy glint in his eyes.
"The people from the police station are here …"
Someone walked in quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, two people in police uniforms rushed in from outside.
They saw the Federation goods placed everywhere at a glance. Those things made them unable to move their eyes away.
It took about ten seconds for the policeman who was walking in front to struggle out of the "treasure".
He was the younger brother of the police chief and had seen the world. So, he was able to break free faster.
At this time, he frowned. "The Federation's diplomats are protesting again. The mayor is under a lot of pressure. You have to solve the trouble you caused yourself."
"Pressure?"
The gang leader who was sitting at the head of the table stood up. His broad and fat body gave the others a lot of pressure.
The Sugeans were relatively short. The average adult male was only about five feet tall, about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall. Many people were less than 1.6 meters.
However, this guy was close to 1.8 meters tall. This made the others feel a lot of extra pressure when facing him.
In addition to the scars all over his body, even the police looked away in panic.
"What pressure?"
He sneered. He didn't show any respect to the mayor and the police chief at all. He casually grabbed a bunch of Federation goods and asked his subordinates to put them in a cloth bag.
Then, he grabbed a few handfuls of money and stuffed it in, making the cloth bag round. Then, he handed it over.
"Is there still pressure?"
The policeman was silent for a while. He reached out and took the cloth bag. It seemed that there was no pressure.
Because Suge was poor and backward, many problems were left after the blind political reform in the early years. Now, the central government had lost its binding force on the local governments.
Gangs and clans were constantly rising in the local areas. These people didn't obey the Suge government's discipline, and the local government couldn't do anything about them.
The backward technology pulled the distance between the government and the civilians. Sometimes, as long as you had a few knives and a heart that dared to kill and wasn't afraid of death, you could quickly make a name for yourself in Suge.
If you had a few guns in your hands, you could be considered a big force.
The leader lowered his head and looked at the two policemen. There was a smile on his face because the other party had accepted the gift. When he turned around, the pressure disappeared instantly. The two policemen also secretly sighed in relief.
"Just find a few guys from the prison and throw them out. Just say that the people have been found and executed. Then, won't this matter be over?"
He walked back to his seat and sat down. Even if he was sitting down, he gave off the feeling that he was about the same height as the two policemen standing.
"Is there any other problem?"
The police chief's brother hesitated. "I will discuss this matter with the chief, but you have to keep a low profile for a while. The Federation people are very strong now …"
The gang leader shook his head as if he had already seen through the truth. "No matter how strong they are, they won't spend an immeasurable amount of money to come here and find trouble with me for an insignificant small businessman."
"I'm just a small fry. It's not worth it!"
When he said these words, he didn't show the attitude of a small fry. Instead, he had a very arrogant attitude. After he finished speaking, he even laughed loudly.
His laughter was full of pride. It was because he saw this point clearly that he dared to make a move on the Federation people.
Everything was as he imagined. The Federation people were constantly condemning him and asking the Suge government to catch the murderer. Other than that, what else could they do?
Nothing could be done!
The conflict between the Suge central government and the local government made it impossible for the central government to directly come to the local area to arrest people. He also fed the local leaders until they were full, so no one would touch him.
At least for now, or for the next few years or more, no one would want to touch him.
He wasn't a rock. He was a human. He had subordinates, guns, and knew how to resist. His life was worthless.
Who would fight with a person like him?
