Chapter 222

For more than 40 days, the money transferred to the trenches to build a small airport, closed and maintained hangars, parts warehouses, small arsenals, and fuel depots was only more than 300,000 US dollars.

However, even if it is a simple and small airport, the National Guard is just a militia plus defense force, but it is also used for military purposes.

It is not enough to have an airport and supporting buildings.

Fortunately, the fighter jets and related supporting equipment, as well as three trucks, two jeeps, and a combat team with light weapons and ammunition were all pulled from the sealed warehouse, otherwise it would be impossible to build it without seven or eight million dollars.

However, these things are all discarded garbage for Arizona, but they can be pulled out and used, or even sold to small African countries, which will cost a lot of money.

Of course, millions of US dollars are small money to Li Changheng.

At the airport, he kissed the reluctant Annie goodbye and promised her to come back before Christmas. Li Changheng boarded a 707 charter plane and flew directly to Phoenix.

Sixteen hours later, the 707, which had been refueled midway, landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

As soon as he walked to the hatch of the private jet, he saw not only three Chevrolet four-seater pickups parked more than ten meters away.

Besides the trenches and Barney standing beside the car, there are 4 strong men standing upright, with muscles that cannot be hidden under the clothes, looking like soldiers in their standing posture.

Moreover, the waists covered by the tops of these four people can be seen to be hiding holsters and pistols.

"BOSS, welcome to Phoenix".

Li Changheng smiled and hugged Barney and Trenches.

After saying hello to each other, I looked at the four strong men who had been standing still three meters away.

As the most familiar and trusted person with Li Changheng, Barney pointed to the one on the far left, making it impossible for Li Changheng to introduce him.

"Boss, this is Stone Banks, retired captain of the Green Berets 3rd Squadron, my team used to perform rescue missions with Stone's team.

He just retired two months ago, and I got in touch with Stone through his comrade's mother when he was visiting a deceased comrade.

He is proficient in all kinds of light and heavy weapons, and his command ability is the most experienced among the six of us. "

Li Changheng smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with the forty-year-old Mel Gibson.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Banks, I'm Henry-LEE, you can call me Henry.

Or, if you don't mind, I'm honored and wish you could call me BOSS. "

"It's an honor to work for you, Boss."

Stone, who was only 26 years old at this time, has no similarities with the villain in the future who quit the Death Squad because of money and seeing that Americans are all over the world to create chaos, just for profit.

Instead, because he learned from Barney that the boss Li Changheng was not only generous, but also deliberately gave more money so that Barney could support the families of those who sacrificed his comrades, and he was very grateful to the young man in front of him.

Li Changheng laughed when he heard Stone, who would do anything for money in the future, call him his boss.

This guy Barney, whether it's the contacts he's had over the past year or the characters in various movies, let Li Changheng know that he won't do things that are too dark.

But I really need a person who can do black hands and ruthless hands under orders to handle some necessary dirty work.

"Thank you, I promise to do things for me, money is definitely not something you need to consider."

"As long as your ability is worthy, I will double the salary and bonus for the task."

These words not only made Stone, who had just retired and was short of money, happy, but the other three strong men who were standing were also satisfied.

To work hard for others, apart from belief and hatred, to put it bluntly, it is for money.

Since they agreed to double the commission as soon as they met, there must be no problem in cooperation.

As for the future, let's talk about it after we get along for a while and have another mission.

Barney and Trench smiled. The bonuses and remuneration paid by his boss were not just double.

When they went to London before, the two of them thought that if they could get 100,000 US dollars, it would be considered a high price.

Unexpectedly, when they returned to the United States for more than a month, the two of them became millionaires directly.

"BOSS, this is an old picture."

Pointing to the second person, Barney introduced, "Old Tu is a seal. He is mainly responsible for intelligence collection and fire support."

Li Changheng, who has watched so many movies, when he heard the fire support, he thought of the black buddy in the Predator who was holding a Gatling and sweeping towards the forest.

As for who this old picture is, just refer to the death squad, the one with tattoos all over his body, who is responsible for taking the mission, and the mourning whip in Iron Man.

Li Changheng shook hands with Lao Tu with a smile, and then jokingly said, "Perhaps, you may be the busiest one in this team."

Everyone looked at Li Changheng in confusion, and after seeing him think for a few seconds, he said, "I will provide you with a start-up fund of 1 million US dollars, and I need you to expand your intelligence collection capabilities in the United States as much as possible.

As long as I see the results of your work, the cost of intelligence collection may be one million or even five million a year in the future, understand? "

Old Tu was overjoyed immediately, and then he stammered and replied, "I understand, BOSS."

"SIR."

Standing last among the four, the one who was tall but thinner than the other five raised his hand and said, "Can I talk?"

Li Changheng smiled and nodded, and heard the other party say, "My name is Bonaparte, a sniper and observer.

I applied to join the intelligence team, because in the beret, apart from sniping, intelligence analysis was the thing I was best at. "

Li Changheng turned his head to look at Barney, and Barney saw that his boss had no anger on his face.

Then he nodded and said, "Bonaparte is indeed an intelligence analyst, but I have confidence in his and Lao Tu's abilities.

But after all, we just worked together on missions together, not a combat team, so I can't guarantee how strong their true strength is. "

Old Tu and Bonaparte were not angry with Barney's words, after all, what he said was the truth, and the words that believed in their abilities were actually good words.

And Li Changheng also knew in his heart that this kind of person who had just retired from the battlefield would definitely have no problem fighting.

But intelligence collection is hard to say, and it will definitely take a long time to get familiar with, perfect and improve while suffering.

"Okay, the request is approved," Li Changheng said as he looked at the third and only black man.

I just heard Barney say that the other party's name is Snape, nicknamed the surgeon.

Not only is he an assaulter, he is also proficient in field medicine, and he is also a master of sneaking, throwing knives and fighting.

Blade Warrior, of course, is a master of fighting and cold weapons. The only thing that worries Li Changheng is that he hopes that this guy is not a half-human, half-vampire existence.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome.

After shaking hands and saying hello, Li Changheng said directly that he wanted to learn the technique of flying knives.

Then he told Bonaparte that he wanted to learn sniper knowledge.

For Americans, there is no such thing as keeping secrets about things that other elite soldiers can learn.

After the group got to know each other, they drove directly back to Sono Town.
