There were issues in Ukraine waiting to be addressed, so after sending Yelena and the other two off on a plane to Arica, Gao Yang imdiately boarded a flight to Kiev without any delay.
The plane was a private jet, so Satan’s crew could start holding their operational eting on board.
It had been a long ti since Gao Yang heard any news about the Iron Madonna. After suffering heavy losses in Cria, this rcenary group disappeared without a trace.
Getting Justin to help find Iron Madonna’s whereabouts shouldn’t be a problem, but it would require a large sum of money. Gao Yang didn’t have an urgent need to track Iron Madonna since he was swamped with other tasks, so he hadn’t specifically sought out Iron Madonna’s location.
Jas inadvertently brought news about Iron Madonna, which seed coincidental but was actually quite normal.
Iron Madonna only wanted Special Forces personnel, especially the famous ones, but not all veterans beca rcenaries. Only a few were willing to beco rcenaries, or forced by circumstances, so those qualified and willing to beco rcenaries had a high chance of ending up under Iron Madonna.
Of course, the SBS is one of the most renowned units, and Jas undoubtedly had the qualifications, provided his left arm wasn’t disabled. Jas’s left arm was impaired, which was fatal for a soldier. At the very least, Jas’s ability to handle a gun would be affected, not as stable as it was before his arm problem, and this was just one of the many effects.
Jas didn’t catch Iron Madonna’s eye, but Gao Yang cheerfully brought Jas under his wing. However, that wasn’t the main point; the key was that Jas had gathered so extrely valuable information.
"Three SAS guys, I heard two snipers and one marksman. They all joined Iron Madonna with a monthly salary of fifty thousand pounds, plus combat bonuses. Conservatively estimated, they can earn at least one million pounds a year. This was what that middleman I approached told ."
After Jas slowly finished his sentence, he seed to rember sothing and continued, "I don’t know that middleman very well, but a comrade of mine in the Armored Group has a great relationship with him. My comrade couldn’t offer a suitable salary, but that middleman could. The middleman said those things to reassure , so I can’t guarantee it’s all true, but I think it should be."
Cui Bo looked curious and asked, "Your comrade? The relationship is quite good? Then why didn’t you borrow his money to treat your child’s illness instead of desperately looking for a job?"
Jas turned to look at Cui Bo, his face serious, and said, "I did. He lent twenty thousand pounds."
Cui Bo looked at Li Jinfang and murmured in Chinese, puzzled, "Only lent twenty thousand? What’s that?"
Li Jinfang frowned and said, "Everyone has their difficulties, don’t impose your thoughts on others, why bother thinking about these things. Aren’t foreigners just like that? Moreover, giving away twenty thousand is not a small amount."
Gao Yang impatiently waved his hand and said, "Let’s stay on topic, you can talk about these things in private. Jas, did you hear any other news?"
Jas nodded and whispered, "That middleman said that Iron Madonna is currently recruiting a lot of experienced talents. As long as you have the ability, money is not an issue, and they are also conducting training. Everyone who joins only needs to go through a two-month collective training period, and as long as they perform satisfactorily, regardless of combat, they start getting paid monthly. Another piece of information, the middleman said he just returned from Iraq, so I think Iron Madonna might be in Iraq."
Gao Yang frowned, rhythmically tapping the small table in front of him, looking puzzled and said, "Without a doubt, Iron Madonna is recruiting extensively and also conducting training. What perplexes most is that Iron Madonna suffered heavy losses in Cria, with nearly half the personnel gone. Recruiting new mbers is understandable, but during the Cria event, Iron Madonna’s snipers and marksn were at the rear lines, barely suffering any losses. Why are they mainly recruiting precision shooting long-range combat personnel, instead of the assault troops they currently lack?"
Eileen shook her head and said, "Boss, your thinking has fallen into a pitfall. Three precision shooters from the SAS don’t an all Iron Madonna recruits are precision shooters or snipers, which are long-range combat personnel."
Gao Yang shifted his gaze to Jas, who shook his head and said, "I don’t know anything else; that’s all that I know."
Gao Yang exhaled and continued grimly, "Precision shooters, snipers, these roles are force multipliers, but a team can’t be composed entirely of long-range combat personnel. Given Iron Madonna’s size, unless their original snipers have all left, they shouldn’t be recruiting more snipers. Three people at once, what kind of combat group are they trying to form? Could it be one focused on long-range firepower? This doesn’t seem likely."
Taylor said heavily, "Why not consider that Iron Madonna is expanding their size? If Iron Madonna had a scale of two hundred people, their precision shooting force would be too much, but if they expanded to three hundred? Four hundred?"
Gao Yang suddenly realized, clapping his hand with a laugh and said, "Indeed, I didn’t think of such a simple problem. Who said Iron Madonna could only have two hundred people? It’s quite normal for them to plan to expand."
After saying this, Gao Yang’s smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a bitter smile, as he said, "This isn’t good news at all. Iron Madonna is heavily recruiting newcors and conducting intensive training, and most importantly, they are expanding their scale."
Even though they are all highly capable individuals, they may not necessarily cooperate well with each other. Iron Madonna recruits are all elite from renowned units, but these people have different habits and tactics. Without being integrated into a cohesive whole, they might not exhibit their full potential.
Satan encountered Iron Madonna’s jungle warfare team in the South Arican jungle, and it was very difficult and daunting to handle. However, when they encountered a larger-scale force in Syria and Cria, they didn’t find it particularly challenging because a larger, unintegrated force is actually easier to confront.
No intelligence has shown that Iron Madonna has ever had collective training with all mbers, as they are inherently a profit-driven collective with too complex origins. Forming them into a cohesive whole is laborious, and a short period doesn’t yield much effect, while a longer duration would require substantial financial resources. For the leader of Iron Madonna, it’s unnecessary to do so.
Now it’s different. Iron Madonna is not only expanding in numbers but also training to improve quality. This is bad news, and more importantly, a dangerous signal. (To be continued.
