Chapter: 3300

On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhonglei said with an apologetic tone: "Prince! Today, the Lu Jun army suffered unprecedented resistance during their attack on Hamid's armed forces. The Lu Jun army lost over 1,534 elite soldiers, and I, as the commander-in-chief, take full responsibility for this loss. Please punish me, Prince!"

The expression of Wan Ba Jun changed instantly to a dark cloud.

He coldly asked: "What are you saying? Did the Lu Jun army die? And did they lose over 1,500 soldiers?! Are you kidding me?"

"Not joking..." Chen Zhonglei said with anguish: "According to my understanding, this time they used normal tactics and attacked an enemy base, but unexpectedly found that the enemy had built strong fortifications. The cannon fire didn't cause any significant damage, and then the enemy took advantage of these fortifications and inflicted heavy losses on our side during their counterattack..."

Wan Ba Jun sternly asked: "How did the Lu Jun army die? A five-star general, did they get killed by the enemy hiding behind fortifications? Or did they lead the charge themselves as the highest commander-in-chief?"

Chen Zhonglei let out a deep sigh and explained: "Prince, the Lu Jun army was trying to attack head-on but failed. They then led over 1,000 soldiers in a pincer movement from the flank, but unexpectedly found that the enemy had built many hidden fortifications on their side as well. Our troops were ambushed and killed almost all of them, including the five-star general..."

Chen Zhonglei's voice became despairing as he continued: "The reconnaissance troops in Syria took a photo of the enemy cleaning up the battlefield... our brothers died too miserably, with each person hit by over 10 bullets. These scoundrels are really inhumane, clearing out our soldiers' weapons and ammunition while even taking off their underwear and shoes. They're not even as good as animals!"

Wan Ba Jun listened to this point and suddenly slammed his cup down on the ground, then stood up enraged: "What a humiliation! What an outrage!"

As he said this, Wan Ba Jun's face turned purple with rage, biting his teeth and asking: "Do you have the heart to justify the fame we've built up over many years as a global mercenary organization in the Middle East?"

Chen Zhonglei looked down, ashamed: "Commander-in-chief! This time, I'm the one who made a mistake. I'll accept any punishment, even if you fire me on the spot, without complaint..."

He suddenly changed his tone and begged: "Only commander-in-chief... please give me another chance, let me personally take revenge and avenge my brothers' deaths in three days! I'll definitely capture Hamid's base within those three days and use Hamid's head to sacrifice my fallen comrades!"

Wan Ba Jun wasn't exaggerating; since the establishment of Lu Dragon Temple, they had never experienced such a severe defeat or blow.

A single battle had already resulted in over 1,500 casualties - what's the concept?

Many mercenary organizations, from top to bottom, didn't even have this many people. The Black Water company led a large batch of inadequately trained irregulars, following the US army in the Middle East for many years, and even in a single battle, they never suffered more than 100 casualties.

Of course, this is also closely related to the mighty firepower deployed by the American military.

This time, the Wàn Lóng Dīn has lost so many people in one fell swoop, which is indeed shocking and unprecedented in the mercenary domain.

Just moments ago, the Wàn Pò Jiā was full of confidence and boasting in front of Su Cheng Feng, but now they are suddenly hit by such a crushing defeat, their hearts filled with anger to the extreme.

He wished he could drag Chen Zhong Lei out in front of him and personally beat him half to death.

But at this moment, Chen Zhong Lei is in Syria, and he himself is powerless to intervene.

He even thought that after today, Wàn Lóng Dīn would undoubtedly become the laughingstock of the entire mercenary domain, with countless people poking fun at him behind his back.

Moreover, the loss of over 1,500 people is not only a blow to the number and reputation of Wàn Lóng Dīn, but also requires them to pay out enormous compensation fees.

The Black Water company recruits people, except for a small number of retired soldiers, mostly consisting of street thugs from the United States. Even if they are placed domestically, they could still be used as supervisors. They put such people through simple training and sent them into battle, with neither the training costs nor salaries being high. Correspondingly, their compensation fees are not high either.

But Wàn Lóng Dīn is different.

Wàn Lóng Dīn places a very high premium on its soldiers' recruitment standards, with a high threshold for each soldier to meet. Their combat capabilities are not weaker than those of the US active duty forces, and many even surpass those of elite units like the Marine Corps by a notch.

So, Wàn Lóng Dīn's salaries are high, and their compensation fees are even higher. JrNovels.com
