Charlie said with a smile at this time:
[From what I understand, the government and rebel forces have had a lot of really close battles. The government forces are short of money, food, weapons and ammunition. They must be inadequately trained all year round leaving their combat proficiency very low. In this case, the few soldiers they sent to protect you and your team are basically useless. Your team consists of a group of unarmed graduates. If something happens, you won’t escape.]
Yingga Zoey replied a little hesitantly:
[It.. It shouldn’t be that serious.]
Charlie laughed and said:
[That’s what you think, but If something really happens will you still think it’s not that serious?]
As he said, he remembered something and said,
[I heard that mercenaries are very popular in war-torn countries in the Middle East. Hire dozens of properly-equipped and well-trained mercenaries to protect your safety throughout the process. Your safety and survival are much better guaranteed this way.]
Zoey Riley said embarrassingly: [Mercenaries cost far too much. We consulted the Blackwater Company in the United States. On the Syrian front line, their mercenaries’ salary requirements are settled on a daily basis. It’s two-thousand per person, per day. The quote doesn’t even include the cost of weapons and equipment. Ammunition has to be calculated separately, and If they require vehicles, the price is ridiculously high. Our budget is very tight, we can’t afford mercenaries.]
Charlie smiled and said.
[Look at how significant the 20 million dollars I promised you just is now! As long as you come to Aurous Hills to help me, you can fund your team with that 20 Million dollars. If a mercenary costs two thousand dollars a day, then your team can hire twenty mercenaries at only forty thousand dollars a day.
Even if your documentary team has to stay in Syria for half a year, at 40,000 dollars a day, the total is 6 million dollars. If we add in the cost of renting some armored vehicles, you’re looking at 10 million at most.
