Joja was not afraid of the militiamen of the Cardin people. Although they had a large number, his side had fewer people but were more agile. Can't they run away if they can't beat them?
The reason Joja set up the mortar was to use it as cover for his retreat after completing the attack on his side.
Joja had never experienced real street fighting, but he had seen the Black Hawk Down incident in Mogadishu. Even the elite American cavalry would kneel in the face of the black guys because their enemies were everywhere in the city.
The situation in Kwa Chok was actually a small-town version of Mogadishu. Once they launched an attack, it would be like poking a hornet's nest.
Since Joja didn't have helicopters for cover, he could only seek cover from artillery fire. When necessary, he could use artillery to block the enemy and make it easier for himself to escape.
Of course, they didn't have professional artillerymen, so it was impossible to accurately hit with mortars. However, the "mansion" of the Cardin people was large enough.
When the time comes, no matter who Joja is fighting, Nis and Antar in the rear can bombard the mansion with all the shells. That's where the elite of the town militia is located, and blocking it can alleviate more than half of the pressure.
The 120mm mortar was definitely powerful enough to make those lawless black guys suffer.
It would be even better if they could coincidentally kill the tribal leader of the Cardin people. This guy would do anything for a little profit, and dying would prevent him from leading his tribe to a dead end.
Joja and the others set up the mortar, and then the "expert" Dorian measured and calculated with a rangefinder and pen and paper.
In the end, Joja saw that Dorian seemed a bit unreliable, so he integrated the model and various information of the mortar and posted it on a domestic military forum.
Dorian thought Joja was fooling around, but unexpectedly, someone gave an "accurate answer" just over ten minutes later.
Seeing Joja referring to the online answer and making slight adjustments to the launch parameters he had carefully calculated, Dorian said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, boss, I have studied..."
Joja made a slight adjustment to the elevation mechanism and then looked at Dorian with a smile, saying, "Now I believe you have studied, because this online answer is not much different from your 'answer'."
Just because you know how to fire a cannon, I should give you an extra 200 dollars in salary."
As soon as the issue of salary was mentioned, Dorian became excited. Although his dream of working was limited to dreaming before the Mori family was defeated, since the boss in his dream brought it up, Dorian naturally had to ask...
"Boss, how much salary can you give me if I work for you?"
Joja glanced at Dorian and said with a smile, "Antar's current salary is a monthly salary of 3,000, and 500 per day during wartime.
How much do you think is appropriate for you, this helmet?"
Dorian was stunned when he heard this, and then tentatively asked, "Then how many days of 'wartime' can you have in a year?"
Joja waved his hand and smiled, "Our team is a bit different from ordinary PMC companies. If you join my team, as long as you carry a gun with me when we go out, it counts as 'wartime'."
After thinking for a moment, Dorian nodded vigorously and said, "Deal. As long as you provide equipment and medical services, I can accept a lower base salary."
Speaking of this, Dorian looked at Joja and said cautiously, "I am an assault soldier and I go to the most dangerous places. It's not excessive to have medical coverage, right?"
Joja was a little stunned when he heard this, and nodded solemnly, "I really didn't think about this before, but I can assure you that it's not excessive!
Hey? You're an elite, why do I feel like you're quite satisfied with this salary?"
Dorian spread his hands and said, "Why wouldn't I be satisfied? With the base salary plus wartime bonuses, even if I only experience 5 days of 'wartime' every month, it's over 60,000 US dollars a year, and I don't have to pay taxes. What's there to be dissatisfied with?
One of my comrades went to Afghanistan to work for a military contractor for 300 dollars a day and persisted for half a year, but in the end, his leg was blown off by an IED..."
Joja was a little incredulous after hearing this, "Only 300 dollars a day for a helmet in Afghanistan?"
Dorian spread his hands and said, "What else? That's the price for formal military contractors. After all, most of the work those big companies do there is security. How much salary do you think you would give to soldiers patrolling the streets?"
Joja was surprised and said, "Are there no higher-paid mercenaries? This is different from what I heard..."
Dorian took out an energy bar from his pocket and took a bite, then took out a few more and gestured to Kaman.
Seeing Kaman take them without hesitation and eat a bite, Dorian sat on the ground and smiled, "Of course there are private mercenaries, but it's not easy for private mercenaries to earn big money.
The world's recognized most profitable mercenary giants are actually those large corporations that undertake national business."The mercenary composed of elites will definitely make money doing dirty work, but if there is no reliable channel, it is basically impossible to receive high-paying tasks.
After listening, Joja thought about it and suddenly realized that it seemed quite reasonable.
A salary of 100,000 US dollars a year is considered high in any country!
Of course, there must still be small mercenary groups that make big money, such as the "Snow Fox Mercenary Group" that once tried to recruit Antar, but Joja didn't know what connections they had.
While the two were talking, Antar's reconnaissance had already been completed.
"Boss, there are more than twenty people in the hotel, and at the same time, I have found a suitable route for entry and retreat."
Antar showed her tablet to Joja, then hesitated and said, "Boss, I think if you decide to attack, it's best to do it now.
Most of the Cardin militia are concentrated on both sides of the road over there, about a kilometer away from the hotel.
If we wait until the Cardin people are tired and go home, it means that when you retreat, you may encounter unpredictable attacks.
But if we attack now, we can use mortars to block the road and buy time. After you complete the mission, you can directly retreat from the north of the town using vehicles."
Joja was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "But in that case, you will become the target of the Cardin people's attack. Those guys are militia, but they are not fools."
Antar looked into Joja's eyes and said, "Boss, if your actions are fast enough, Nis and I can safely retreat to the truck and then drive to meet you.
We are snipers, we have a way to make those militia stop."
While Joja hesitated, Dorian looked at the detailed route marked on the tablet and clapped his hands, saying, "Great, there is no one around this route. We can quietly infiltrate. I know the Mori family very well and I am familiar with their security arrangements.
A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.
Based on the combat power you showed this afternoon, three minutes, as long as you listen to my command, we can kill them all and then take the car to retreat."
Dorian looked at Joja and said seriously, "Those security guards are just gangsters' gunmen and bodyguards. Although some of them have military training backgrounds, their equipment is far inferior to ours.
We have night vision equipment. As long as we cut off the power supply of the hotel, we can completely gain the upper hand."
